Class 6 from this series was used in GCT Episode 384.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:05,600 –> 00:00:09,800
\nWe’ll read post in the scripture
\nand it’ll be taken from Romans <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:09,800 –> 00:00:14,120
\nchapter 3 from verses 19 through
\nto the end, verse 31. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:18,440 –> 00:00:26,440
\nOK, Unfortunately, brothers and
\nsisters, we had to break right <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:26,440 –> 00:00:30,680
\nat a critical time in our study
\nthe last occasion, and that <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:30,680 –> 00:00:35,920
\nmakes it a bit hard for you, OK?
\nAnd you’ve got to pick up right <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:35,960 –> 00:00:40,800
\nin the middle of crucial verses.
\nYou got to pick up at verse 25, <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:41,400 –> 00:00:46,280
\nwhich is the regarded by all the
\nbrethren and even scholars out <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:46,280 –> 00:00:51,960
\nof the truth as the most
\nimportant statement on the <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:51,960 –> 00:00:56,200
\nreason for Christ’s death, OK?
\nIt’s a bit of a bit of a <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:56,200 –> 00:01:02,920
\nproblem.
\nOK, so just your eyes, brother. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:01:02,920 –> 00:01:08,960
\nNola obviously marked out the
\nlooks there, did the reading <\/p>\n
13
\n00:01:08,960 –> 00:01:11,480
\nthere.
\nIf you got your pencils, you <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:11,480 –> 00:01:15,720
\nmight need them again, but we’ve
\ngot the essential ones already <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:15,720 –> 00:01:27,660
\ndone.
\nNow there are environments that <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:27,740 –> 00:01:31,740
\nremember there are two methods
\nof righteousness. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:34,560 –> 00:01:39,280
\nOne method was the Jewish method
\nmethod, which was called their <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:39,360 –> 00:01:45,040
\nown righteousness.
\nOK, here we’re dealing with <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:45,040 –> 00:01:48,920
\nanother method called God’s
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:49,720 –> 00:01:53,480
\nOK, so here we have two methods
\nof righteousness. <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:53,920 –> 00:01:56,000
\nA language is the language of
\nthe law. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:56,000 –> 00:02:01,480
\nCourts as a judge and there’s
\npeople in the witness box, OK, <\/p>\n
23
\n00:02:01,640 –> 00:02:09,960
\nAnd the word righteous or just
\nGreek court words, OK, Dickey, <\/p>\n
24
\n00:02:09,960 –> 00:02:14,760
\nAsini and so on and so on, OK.
\nAnd remember, as I think I’ve <\/p>\n
25
\n00:02:14,760 –> 00:02:18,640
\npointed out before, and this
\nlanguage, we’re in court. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:02:18,800 –> 00:02:22,520
\nIn this language we’re in court
\nright up to Chapter 8. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:02:22,560 –> 00:02:25,640
\nYou’re in court.
\nThe language is the language of <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:25,640 –> 00:02:31,320
\nthe Greek courts, OK, So a
\njudge, as in our day, a judge, <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:31,960 –> 00:02:36,160
\nhe can pronounce a person
\ninnocent, OK, because he is <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:36,160 –> 00:02:43,240
\ninnocent, or he may choose to
\npronounce a person innocent <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:43,240 –> 00:02:47,880
\nwho’s actually guilty.
\nAnd in our courts it’s called <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:48,040 –> 00:02:52,160
\namnesty, but it is actually
\nforgiveness. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:52,160 –> 00:02:55,280
\nIt’s a legal forgiveness.
\nIn other words, the judge may <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:55,280 –> 00:03:00,040
\nsay, Oh, well, this is first
\noffence, he was highly provoked <\/p>\n
35
\n00:03:00,680 –> 00:03:05,360
\nand etcetera, etcetera, and even
\nthough he’s guilty, we’re going <\/p>\n
36
\n00:03:05,360 –> 00:03:09,360
\nto let him go as long as he
\ndoesn’t turn up in court again. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:03:09,360 –> 00:03:13,120
\nSo yeah, but that’s amnesty.
\nNow what we’re dealing with here<\/p>\n
38
\n00:03:13,360 –> 00:03:18,960
\nis in Romans, right, we’re
\ndealing with an amnesty <\/p>\n
39
\n00:03:18,960 –> 00:03:22,640
\nrighteousness, a righteousness
\nof forgiveness. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:03:23,680 –> 00:03:27,440
\nIt’s not just forgiveness, it’s
\na righteousness of repentance, <\/p>\n
41
\n00:03:28,320 –> 00:03:36,080
\nforgiveness and divine help.
\nThat’s the gospel in Acts <\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:36,080 –> 00:03:38,240
\nchapter 2.
\nWhat shall we do? <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:38,600 –> 00:03:43,560
\nRepent the conversion,
\nrepentance, right? <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:45,160 –> 00:03:50,240
\nBe baptized for remission of
\nsins and you’ll get divine help.<\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:50,720 –> 00:03:52,760
\nYou’ll get the Holy Spirit or
\nwhatever is necessary. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:52,760 –> 00:03:55,520
\nYou’ll get divine help.
\nSo they’re the, they’re the, <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:56,480 –> 00:03:59,760
\nthat’s what’s involved in
\namnesty, those three things. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:04:00,440 –> 00:04:04,120
\nWe’re not only being given
\nforgiveness, that says in Acts, <\/p>\n
49
\n00:04:04,360 –> 00:04:08,560
\nwe’re being given repentance.
\nThat’s unusual, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
50
\n00:04:08,560 –> 00:04:13,280
\nAnd you’ll find in the New
\nTestament that forgiveness and <\/p>\n
51
\n00:04:13,280 –> 00:04:15,480
\nrepentance are just linked
\nindivisibly. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:04:16,000 –> 00:04:18,600
\nAnd sometimes you get a verse
\nwhich you think is going to say,<\/p>\n
53
\n00:04:19,040 –> 00:04:20,800
\noh, and you get forgiveness of
\nsins. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:04:20,800 –> 00:04:26,000
\nAnd it doesn’t say that it it
\nsays to turn you from dead works<\/p>\n
55
\n00:04:26,000 –> 00:04:29,640
\nto serve the living God.
\nAnd then the next verse might <\/p>\n
56
\n00:04:29,640 –> 00:04:33,240
\ntalk about forgiveness.
\nIn other words, one has never <\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:33,240 –> 00:04:36,800
\nconsidered without the other.
\nIf forgiveness is used as a <\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:36,800 –> 00:04:42,520
\nheading that always involves
\nperpendence and divine help, <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:43,040 –> 00:04:46,440
\nright?
\nAnd so that at at baptism, when <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:46,440 –> 00:04:49,920
\nyou reach baptism, you initiated
\ninto that relationship, we’ve <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:49,920 –> 00:04:53,160
\ngot a relationship of
\nrepentance, forgiveness and <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:53,160 –> 00:04:58,720
\ndivine help right you that
\ncommences as a covenant <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:58,720 –> 00:05:03,400
\nrelationship of baptism.
\nThen it becomes a daily thing <\/p>\n
64
\n00:05:05,200 –> 00:05:09,680
\nthrough your death, up to your
\nresurrection, through the <\/p>\n
65
\n00:05:09,680 –> 00:05:12,120
\njudgement seat until you’re
\nmoral. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:05:13,840 –> 00:05:15,960
\nNow we got that.
\nIt’s very simple. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:05:16,600 –> 00:05:19,240
\nThey’re very fundamental.
\nThey’re very different to the <\/p>\n
68
\n00:05:19,240 –> 00:05:24,960
\nJewish idea of God giving you a
\nset of rules, you trusting in <\/p>\n
69
\n00:05:24,960 –> 00:05:30,360
\nyourself to keep that set of
\nrules and earn a pronouncement <\/p>\n
70
\n00:05:30,360 –> 00:05:32,040
\nof righteousness and eternal
\nlaw. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:05:32,200 –> 00:05:36,320
\nVery, very different.
\nI mean, but both systems <\/p>\n
72
\n00:05:36,360 –> 00:05:40,080
\nrequired forgiveness.
\nBoth systems required belief in <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:40,080 –> 00:05:44,000
\nGod and but their base, their
\nbases were obviously. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:44,720 –> 00:05:49,120
\nOK, one’s built on reliance of
\nthe flesh to keep a set of <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:49,120 –> 00:05:53,080
\nrules, and long as your acts of
\nrighteousness exceeded your <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:53,080 –> 00:05:55,520
\nsins, you’re in front.
\nYou’re earning eternal, you’re <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:55,640 –> 00:05:57,920
\nearning a pronouncement of
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:59,080 –> 00:06:02,040
\nBut as the other one says, yeah,
\nthere’s got to be works and <\/p>\n
79
\n00:06:02,040 –> 00:06:04,480
\neverything, but you can never
\nearn. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:06:04,680 –> 00:06:08,560
\nThe gifts of God, you need
\nforgiveness all the time. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:06:08,920 –> 00:06:10,960
\nYou, you need to convert to
\nhappily. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:06:10,960 –> 00:06:14,320
\nYou’ve got to look at yourself
\nand turn around every day and <\/p>\n
83
\n00:06:14,320 –> 00:06:16,920
\nyou need to bind help every day.
\nIt’s a daily thing. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:06:17,400 –> 00:06:19,320
\nYou know today, if you will hear
\nhis voice. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:06:19,600 –> 00:06:22,800
\nThat’s one of the things that
\nwe’re very LAX about. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:06:23,280 –> 00:06:26,760
\nAnd that is that the method of
\nthe truth is a daily thing. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:06:27,080 –> 00:06:30,080
\nYou can’t do it on Sunday.
\nYou can’t do it three days a <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:30,080 –> 00:06:32,200
\nweek.
\nYou can’t do it six days a week.<\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:33,640 –> 00:06:38,080
\nYou got to do it seven days a
\nweek, OK, Otherwise the system <\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:38,080 –> 00:06:41,360
\ndoesn’t work.
\nSo that’s the background. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:41,360 –> 00:06:45,560
\nAll right.
\nSee how good you can <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:45,560 –> 00:06:48,000
\nconcentrate.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:48,000 –> 00:06:50,600
\nI’ve got right out of my head
\nthe fact that I had to cook the <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:50,600 –> 00:06:58,520
\ntea tonight with was Dory fish
\nand peas and, and, and what else<\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:58,520 –> 00:07:02,400
\nwas it?
\nAnd so I can’t even remember <\/p>\n
96
\n00:07:02,400 –> 00:07:03,920
\nthat.
\nAnd I I cooked. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:07:03,920 –> 00:07:08,160
\nHer under very strict directions
\nhowever my life’s a little bit <\/p>\n
98
\n00:07:09,480 –> 00:07:13,440
\nin dispose at the moment so I
\nput that right out of my head OK<\/p>\n
99
\n00:07:13,840 –> 00:07:17,160
\nso let’s quickly take you
\nthrough from verse 19. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:07:17,280 –> 00:07:21,560
\nWe’ve got to quickly get to 25.
\nIt’s the key one see how good <\/p>\n
101
\n00:07:21,560 –> 00:07:25,400
\nyou can concentrate and I’m
\ngoing to do a little bit of <\/p>\n
102
\n00:07:25,400 –> 00:07:31,480
\ninterpreting as I go along.
\nAre you ready Verse 19 Now we <\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:31,480 –> 00:07:35,800
\nknow or we perceive that
\nwhatsoever things the law of <\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:35,800 –> 00:07:43,040
\nMoses said said to them that are
\nunder that law and that every <\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:43,040 –> 00:07:48,320
\nmouth every mouth and what it’s
\nsaying is you Jews as well as <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:48,320 –> 00:07:50,840
\nthe Gentiles.
\nNo one that the Gentiles were <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:50,840 –> 00:07:52,880
\nsinners.
\nSo the Jews have thought they <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:52,880 –> 00:07:56,560
\nwere pretty good, that every
\nmouth may be stopped and. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:56,560 –> 00:07:59,080
\nAll the world.
\nYou Jews as well as the <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:59,080 –> 00:08:02,360
\nGentiles, all the world may
\nbecome guilty before God. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:08:03,680 –> 00:08:08,440
\nThat was the work and purpose of
\nthe law of Moses, to make you <\/p>\n
112
\n00:08:08,440 –> 00:08:10,960
\naware of just how sinful you
\nare. <\/p>\n
113
\n00:08:12,040 –> 00:08:15,520
\nVerse 20.
\nTherefore, by deeds or works of <\/p>\n
114
\n00:08:15,520 –> 00:08:21,480
\nlaw, right?
\nLaw is strict, strict equity, <\/p>\n
115
\n00:08:22,440 –> 00:08:25,120
\nright.
\nYou get what you deserve on a <\/p>\n
116
\n00:08:25,120 –> 00:08:30,120
\nprinciple of law.
\nTherefore, by deeds of law there<\/p>\n
117
\n00:08:30,120 –> 00:08:35,200
\nshall no flesh.
\nIt’d be justified in His sight. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:08:35,640 –> 00:08:40,240
\nThe phrase No flesh will be
\npronounced righteous in His <\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:40,240 –> 00:08:47,760
\nsight is taken from Psalm 143,
\nverse 2 in the margin there <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:47,760 –> 00:08:52,520
\nunder X.
\nSee, that’s Psalm 143 verse 2, <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:52,520 –> 00:08:53,520
\nis it?
\nYep. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:54,400 –> 00:08:58,000
\nSo shall no flesh be justified
\nin his sights? <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:58,000 –> 00:08:59,880
\nQuoting from there.
\nOK. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:09:00,720 –> 00:09:03,080
\nWhich I think is the Psalm,
\nwhich says enter not into <\/p>\n
125
\n00:09:03,080 –> 00:09:07,040
\njudgment with us, because if you
\nenter into judges, nobody’s <\/p>\n
126
\n00:09:07,040 –> 00:09:09,080
\ngoing to be justified.
\nWe’re all going to be guilty, <\/p>\n
127
\n00:09:09,080 –> 00:09:12,680
\nOK?
\nSo that’s his conclusion, verse <\/p>\n
128
\n00:09:12,680 –> 00:09:18,760
\n20 about the law for by the law.
\nFor by law is the epicnosis, the<\/p>\n
129
\n00:09:18,760 –> 00:09:24,440
\nfull experience of sin, and Paul
\ndevelops that in Chapter 7. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:09:24,440 –> 00:09:28,960
\nI’d not know I’m sin, but by the
\nlaw I’d not known lust, except <\/p>\n
131
\n00:09:28,960 –> 00:09:31,680
\nthe Lord said thou shalt not
\ncovet thy neighbour’s wife, thy <\/p>\n
132
\n00:09:31,680 –> 00:09:38,000
\nneighbour’s, etcetera.
\nWhat it is, it’s a divine set of<\/p>\n
133
\n00:09:38,000 –> 00:09:42,800
\nvalues, OK, applied to people
\nwho are naturally. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:42,800 –> 00:09:47,160
\nSinners all right.
\nAnd the law. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:47,400 –> 00:09:51,960
\nIs designed to make them aware
\nof just how natural a Sinner we <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:51,960 –> 00:09:57,800
\nare, because our natural sinning
\nactually limits our perception <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:57,920 –> 00:10:02,200
\nof our sin.
\nIt blinds us all to some degree.<\/p>\n
138
\n00:10:03,080 –> 00:10:09,480
\nYou may sin a major sin, and you
\nmay convert it from it, and you <\/p>\n
139
\n00:10:09,480 –> 00:10:16,160
\nmay be spiritually redeveloped
\nand rehabilitated and it always <\/p>\n
140
\n00:10:16,160 –> 00:10:19,360
\nleaves a scar.
\nAnd even though you’re <\/p>\n
141
\n00:10:19,360 –> 00:10:23,480
\nfunctional, it is to some extent
\nthat leaves a limitation. <\/p>\n
142
\n00:10:25,400 –> 00:10:31,960
\nLook at that scar.
\nLook at the size of this scar. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:10:32,840 –> 00:10:34,320
\nLook at that.
\nIt’s a beauty. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:10:34,320 –> 00:10:39,280
\nYou know, I had a fight with a
\nnine inch angle grinder. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:10:39,440 –> 00:10:44,800
\nIt won, OK, It cut that, cut
\nthat across that hand, fell, <\/p>\n
146
\n00:10:45,200 –> 00:10:49,040
\ncut, broke 2 fingers there and
\nthen it hit the floor, broke <\/p>\n
147
\n00:10:49,040 –> 00:10:52,040
\ninto two bits and then bounced
\noff the floor. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:10:52,040 –> 00:10:55,080
\nI can remember none of this,
\ncan’t remember a thing about it.<\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:55,520 –> 00:10:58,640
\nAll I can remember is I was in
\ntrouble, OK? <\/p>\n
150
\n00:11:00,240 –> 00:11:04,680
\nBounced off the floor, jumped up
\nand screwed the other half of <\/p>\n
151
\n00:11:04,680 –> 00:11:09,080
\nthe 9 inch angle grinder disc
\ninside my leg so he couldn’t <\/p>\n
152
\n00:11:09,080 –> 00:11:11,480
\neven see it was there.
\nAnd the ambulance men didn’t <\/p>\n
153
\n00:11:11,480 –> 00:11:15,080
\neven know what was wrong, you
\nknow, that had disappeared <\/p>\n
154
\n00:11:15,080 –> 00:11:20,880
\ninside the leg, missed the main
\nartery, slipped between the two <\/p>\n
155
\n00:11:20,880 –> 00:11:24,080
\nbones.
\nMiraculously, Alan’s enjoying <\/p>\n
156
\n00:11:24,080 –> 00:11:35,520
\nevery bit of this and, and you
\nknow, they refused to saw it all<\/p>\n
157
\n00:11:35,520 –> 00:11:40,360
\nup because and because it was an
\nold army surgeon. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:11:40,360 –> 00:11:43,280
\nHe said, oh, we close the legs
\nup and in the end they get that <\/p>\n
159
\n00:11:43,280 –> 00:11:45,560
\ninfected, we have to take the
\nLego. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:11:45,920 –> 00:11:48,160
\nAnd he wouldn’t do that.
\nHe let it drain for a fortnight <\/p>\n
161
\n00:11:48,160 –> 00:11:50,640
\nor something.
\nThen they took skin off here and<\/p>\n
162
\n00:11:50,640 –> 00:11:52,920
\ngrafted it.
\nHence this great big scar. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:53,480 –> 00:11:59,400
\nNow the point is, look, I don’t
\neven limp, do I? <\/p>\n
164
\n00:12:00,200 –> 00:12:03,120
\nYou wouldn’t know I’d had a
\nmajor problem in my leg. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:12:04,080 –> 00:12:07,680
\nBut yeah, you should see me on a
\nroof, though. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:12:08,720 –> 00:12:10,920
\nOn a roof.
\nI’m hopeless. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:12:11,920 –> 00:12:14,920
\nMy wife stands down the bottom
\nof the ladder screaming at me <\/p>\n
168
\n00:12:14,920 –> 00:12:18,280
\nbecause it’s just left
\nlimitations. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:12:18,280 –> 00:12:20,800
\nYou get my point.
\nAnd even though you’re sin, and <\/p>\n
170
\n00:12:20,800 –> 00:12:25,000
\neven though you’re forgiven, you
\nknow, I’m talking about major <\/p>\n
171
\n00:12:25,000 –> 00:12:27,960
\nsins, OK?
\nIt leaves a scar. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:12:29,080 –> 00:12:31,520
\nOK.
\nAnd that limits our perception <\/p>\n
173
\n00:12:31,520 –> 00:12:33,320
\nof sin.
\nAnd sometimes when you’re <\/p>\n
174
\n00:12:33,320 –> 00:12:36,840
\nconfronted with an ecclesial
\nproblem, that’s a major moral <\/p>\n
175
\n00:12:36,840 –> 00:12:39,920
\nproblem.
\nIt may even distort your <\/p>\n
176
\n00:12:39,920 –> 00:12:41,680
\ndecision about what should be
\ndone. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:12:42,680 –> 00:12:47,720
\nSo what I’m putting to you we.
\nAll tend to be blinded to some <\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:47,720 –> 00:12:51,280
\nextent by sin.
\nWe missed those pages. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:51,280 –> 00:12:56,800
\nThat was an earlier session.
\nOK, but the Law of Moses gave <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:56,800 –> 00:12:58,600
\nyou the knowledge out of
\nexperience. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:58,600 –> 00:13:02,560
\nYou just couldn’t maintain
\ndivine values. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:13:02,920 –> 00:13:07,480
\nYou inevitably felt OK.
\nTherefore the idea of earning <\/p>\n
183
\n00:13:07,600 –> 00:13:10,960
\nsalvation is ridiculous.
\nNot even Christ. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:13:10,960 –> 00:13:13,160
\nIt was perfect.
\nEven though it was worthy of <\/p>\n
185
\n00:13:13,160 –> 00:13:15,640
\nwhat he got.
\nHe never claimed to have heard <\/p>\n
186
\n00:13:15,640 –> 00:13:18,440
\nus.
\nOK, he got it because of a <\/p>\n
187
\n00:13:18,440 –> 00:13:22,200
\nperfect faith producing a
\nperfect obedience, because of <\/p>\n
188
\n00:13:22,200 –> 00:13:26,000
\nthe perfect dependence upon God,
\nand he glorified God for what he<\/p>\n
189
\n00:13:26,000 –> 00:13:30,680
\nwas, not himself who has had
\nabsolutely no pride in it. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:13:31,040 –> 00:13:36,480
\nWhereas the Jewish method, their
\nwhole religion, was based on the<\/p>\n
191
\n00:13:36,480 –> 00:13:41,960
\npride of life, the pride of self
\nachievement, which we do. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:41,960 –> 00:13:44,360
\nEvery day at work, you’ve got to
\nhave a bit of self-confidence, <\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:44,400 –> 00:13:48,080
\nyou know, you’ve got to use that
\nin natural things, OK? <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:48,720 –> 00:13:51,640
\nBut even in the world, like, if
\nyou start thinking you’re pretty<\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:51,640 –> 00:13:54,240
\ngood, everyone calls you a big
\nhead and and all that and that <\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:54,240 –> 00:13:56,800
\nyou know, and pride gets there.
\nBut when it comes to eternal <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:56,800 –> 00:14:00,440
\nthings, you know the so that’s
\nthe flesh, the lust they are. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:14:00,440 –> 00:14:02,840
\nWe all think it’s when we’re
\nyoung people, that’s the flesh <\/p>\n
199
\n00:14:02,840 –> 00:14:04,760
\nis the big problem.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:14:05,160 –> 00:14:08,520
\nBut the real big problem is.
\nReally, the pride of life, it’s <\/p>\n
201
\n00:14:08,520 –> 00:14:12,320
\nso deep in your psyche and so
\nhard to perceive. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:14:12,800 –> 00:14:16,600
\nIt’s a real problem, you know?
\nIt’s a real big problem. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:14:20,320 –> 00:14:22,600
\nI reckon confession is good for
\nthe soul. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:14:23,400 –> 00:14:27,920
\nI can remember half of my life
\nago when I was around 35 or <\/p>\n
205
\n00:14:27,920 –> 00:14:32,480
\nsomething, I, I, I spoke down at
\nGlenlock Camp. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:14:32,480 –> 00:14:35,720
\nYou’ve heard of that camp down
\non the Murray River, OK. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:36,600 –> 00:14:41,480
\nAnd I was doing Galatians, OK.
\nAnd the, yeah, 700 or 1000 <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:41,480 –> 00:14:44,920
\npeople there.
\nAnd I was giving this stuff on <\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:44,920 –> 00:14:48,960
\nGalatians, OK?
\nAnd first up, first up, I’d <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:48,960 –> 00:14:51,240
\ndress up as the Jedi’s and put
\ntheir argument. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:51,240 –> 00:14:54,520
\nThen I’d get up and explain it
\nfrom Galatians what the answers <\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:54,520 –> 00:14:57,240
\nwere, you know?
\nBut you know, they were going <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:57,240 –> 00:14:58,400
\nall right.
\nAnd people thought it was <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:58,400 –> 00:15:00,280
\ntraffic, but I wasn’t really
\nhappy with it. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:15:01,000 –> 00:15:03,600
\nI just didn’t feel I was
\ncommunicating what I wanted to <\/p>\n
216
\n00:15:03,600 –> 00:15:07,880
\ncommunicate, OK?
\nAnd and that’s genuine. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:15:07,880 –> 00:15:10,960
\nI wanted to communicate better.
\nI wanted this message to get <\/p>\n
218
\n00:15:10,960 –> 00:15:15,680
\nacross OK and anyway it came
\nSunday morning of all time <\/p>\n
219
\n00:15:15,800 –> 00:15:20,320
\nSunday morning memorial.
\nImagine this Sunday memorial <\/p>\n
220
\n00:15:20,320 –> 00:15:23,320
\nmeeting.
\nOK and I was dealing with Paul’s<\/p>\n
221
\n00:15:23,320 –> 00:15:26,720
\nsickness.
\nOK, how because of his sickness <\/p>\n
222
\n00:15:26,720 –> 00:15:30,920
\nhe he preached to the Gentiles
\nat the first he preached as a <\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:30,920 –> 00:15:33,720
\nsick man.
\nAnd I was thumping this <\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:34,360 –> 00:15:37,320
\nbeautiful stuff on how God’s
\nstrength made perfect in <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:37,320 –> 00:15:39,480
\nweakness.
\nTalk about that was the theme. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:39,760 –> 00:15:41,840
\nGod’s strength made perfect in
\nweakness. <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:42,200 –> 00:15:47,400
\nAnd how, how Paul, when he was,
\nwhen he was under tremendous <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:47,400 –> 00:15:52,240
\nstress, he had this inherent
\nproblem, a thorn in the flesh, a<\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:52,400 –> 00:15:56,200
\nproblem that under stress, he
\ngot very, very ill. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:56,200 –> 00:15:59,480
\nObviously I’ll all right.
\nReally obviously I’ll. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:16:00,120 –> 00:16:03,520
\nAnd he said the Galatians, it
\nwas possible you’d have given me<\/p>\n
232
\n00:16:03,520 –> 00:16:05,960
\nyour own eye.
\nAnd he said it. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:16:06,320 –> 00:16:09,720
\nHe said it was your trial in my
\nflesh. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:16:10,840 –> 00:16:15,200
\nYou know, the the the Jedi would
\nsay you call him a an apostle, <\/p>\n
235
\n00:16:15,200 –> 00:16:17,400
\nyou call him somebody and look
\nat him. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:16:17,400 –> 00:16:20,480
\nLook what God’s doing to him.
\nHe’s obviously dead on his feet <\/p>\n
237
\n00:16:21,320 –> 00:16:23,160
\nand he looked like he was cursed
\nof God. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:16:23,160 –> 00:16:26,240
\nGet the idea.
\nSo this was terrific exhortation<\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:26,640 –> 00:16:29,240
\nand and.
\nAnd I was really getting across <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:29,240 –> 00:16:32,600
\nand I was really happy about it.
\nAnd then, you know, and then I <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:32,600 –> 00:16:37,040
\ngot the last main phrase, the
\nexhortation, you know, just <\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:37,040 –> 00:16:39,720
\nbefore they, they’re giving the
\nemblems and. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:40,360 –> 00:16:43,880
\nAnd I looked around the crowd
\nof, you know, 700,000, whatever <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:43,880 –> 00:16:48,200
\nthey are down there and, and,
\nand, and this scene only lasted <\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:48,200 –> 00:16:50,480
\nA millisecond.
\nI recognized it straight away, <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:50,480 –> 00:16:53,640
\nbut it happened.
\nI looked around the comic crowd <\/p>\n
247
\n00:16:53,640 –> 00:16:55,240
\nthat had gone across.
\nFantastic. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:16:55,400 –> 00:16:58,560
\nThat’s the way I wished every
\nsession had gone across. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:58,800 –> 00:17:00,240
\nAnd you know what I’ve said in
\nmy mind? <\/p>\n
250
\n00:17:01,080 –> 00:17:06,200
\nCopped that, copped that in
\nother words, wasn’t that <\/p>\n
251
\n00:17:06,200 –> 00:17:10,000
\nterrific.
\nAnd I I was standing there. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:10,560 –> 00:17:13,760
\nAnd I thought went through my
\nhead and I felt that wretched. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:14,560 –> 00:17:16,680
\nI felt, I recognized it
\nimmediately. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:17,079 –> 00:17:19,920
\nWhat was it?
\nThe pride of life. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:20,280 –> 00:17:25,200
\nI’d started off with the right
\nmotives because it went so well.<\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:25,720 –> 00:17:31,440
\nI finished up with the wrong.
\nNow that’s how deceitful sin is.<\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:32,680 –> 00:17:33,920
\nSo that’s what we’re dealing
\nwith. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:35,520 –> 00:17:39,120
\nSo the law amplified that sin.
\nVerse 21. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:39,920 –> 00:17:45,080
\nBut now God’s method of
\nrighteousness apart from law has<\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:45,080 –> 00:17:49,520
\nbeen revealed, manifested.
\nI was witnessed by the Old <\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:49,520 –> 00:17:55,800
\nTestament law and the prophets.
\nIt’s even a a divine method of <\/p>\n
262
\n00:17:55,800 –> 00:17:58,760
\nrighteousness which is
\nconditional upon you having <\/p>\n
263
\n00:17:58,760 –> 00:18:01,240
\nfaith in what Jesus Christ was
\nall about. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:18:02,080 –> 00:18:06,080
\nAnd it’s this pronouncement by
\nthe judge that comes upon upon <\/p>\n
265
\n00:18:06,080 –> 00:18:12,920
\nall or upon all them, that
\nfaith, the people that really <\/p>\n
266
\n00:18:12,920 –> 00:18:17,840
\nbelieve what Jesus work was all
\nabout to the point where they <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:18,080 –> 00:18:22,360
\nare moved to repentance, to the
\npoint where they get baptized, <\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:22,360 –> 00:18:26,000
\nto the point where they have
\nturned their direction of life <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:26,880 –> 00:18:29,680
\nand they’re going to commit
\nthemselves to letting God help <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:29,680 –> 00:18:31,160
\nthem in that new direction of
\nlife. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:32,320 –> 00:18:34,800
\nThat’s what faith is.
\nThat’s what faith is. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:34,800 –> 00:18:38,560
\nFaith is belief to the point.
\nWhere it turns you around. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:38,960 –> 00:18:42,480
\nOK, it’s not just believing.
\nI believe two and two and four <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:42,480 –> 00:18:46,720
\ndoesn’t do much for me except
\nwhen I get my change at the <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:46,720 –> 00:18:49,080
\nshop.
\nIt’s got no moral effect. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:50,560 –> 00:18:57,200
\nOK, verse 23 he says the reason
\nwhy we’ve got to have this <\/p>\n
277
\n00:18:57,200 –> 00:19:02,480
\nmethod and why it can’t be an
\nearning method is because all of<\/p>\n
278
\n00:19:02,480 –> 00:19:08,680
\nsinned 2 things we’ve sinned.
\nWe’ve done what God’s law says <\/p>\n
279
\n00:19:08,680 –> 00:19:10,560
\nyou shouldn’t do.
\nThey should not cover the <\/p>\n
280
\n00:19:10,560 –> 00:19:13,840
\nneighbour’s wife, the
\nneighborhood right, and we’ve <\/p>\n
281
\n00:19:13,840 –> 00:19:17,160
\nfailed to manifest God’s holy
\ncharacteristics. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:19:17,280 –> 00:19:18,760
\nWe’ve all come short of glory,
\nGod. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:19:19,400 –> 00:19:23,360
\nSo we’re sinned in the positive
\nareas of God manifestation and <\/p>\n
284
\n00:19:23,360 –> 00:19:26,600
\nwe’ve sinned in the areas of the
\nmanifestation of the flesh. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:28,160 –> 00:19:33,040
\nOK, Therefore we’re fine and
\nthere’s no way we can never go <\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:33,040 –> 00:19:38,040
\nbefore the judge and.
\nClaim a right to be proclaimed <\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:38,040 –> 00:19:40,400
\nrighteous.
\nIt’s just ridiculous. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:40,880 –> 00:19:44,920
\nOK, so he says.
\nWell then. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:19:47,280 –> 00:19:49,560
\nWhat are we going to believe
\nabout Jesus Christ? <\/p>\n
290
\n00:19:49,560 –> 00:19:52,600
\nWhat did he do?
\nVerse 24? <\/p>\n
291
\n00:19:52,600 –> 00:19:56,440
\nWe’re being pronounced righteous
\nfreely. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:19:56,520 –> 00:20:00,880
\nYou never earned it.
\nIt’s by God’s grace, unmerited <\/p>\n
293
\n00:20:00,880 –> 00:20:05,280
\nfavour, and it’s through the
\nredemption that is the saving <\/p>\n
294
\n00:20:05,280 –> 00:20:08,680
\nmethod.
\nThat is in Christ Jesus. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:20:10,680 –> 00:20:14,320
\nJesus Christ went through the
\nmethod himself perfectly. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:20:14,640 –> 00:20:18,840
\nNow this is key, key concept.
\nHe went through the method <\/p>\n
297
\n00:20:18,840 –> 00:20:22,160
\nperfectly.
\nPerfect faith, perfect trust, <\/p>\n
298
\n00:20:22,160 –> 00:20:26,000
\nperfect to be, perfect death,
\nperfect resurrection, perfect <\/p>\n
299
\n00:20:26,000 –> 00:20:29,920
\njudgement, perfect immortality.
\nSo much so is exhorted above <\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:29,920 –> 00:20:35,760
\neven the ancients.
\nSo what you have is a divine <\/p>\n
301
\n00:20:35,760 –> 00:20:40,840
\nmanifestation of the perfect
\nmethod of salvation. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:41,480 –> 00:20:46,080
\nHe was pronounced righteous.
\nOK, we act because he was <\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:46,080 –> 00:20:51,080
\nrighteous, but it was a
\nrighteousness that came from <\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:51,080 –> 00:20:53,840
\nfaith.
\nHis reliance on God it. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:20:53,840 –> 00:20:58,560
\nWasn’t a self righteousness, it
\nwasn’t of my own self. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:20:58,560 –> 00:21:01,560
\nI can do nothing.
\nIt was a derived righteousness. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:21:02,320 –> 00:21:04,120
\nOK.
\nTherefore it was a faith <\/p>\n
308
\n00:21:04,120 –> 00:21:06,640
\nrighteousness.
\nTherefore, though He was so <\/p>\n
309
\n00:21:06,640 –> 00:21:11,800
\nwonderful a person, the glory is
\nto His Father and not to <\/p>\n
310
\n00:21:11,800 –> 00:21:15,000
\nHimself.
\nOK, so it’s a faith <\/p>\n
311
\n00:21:15,000 –> 00:21:17,840
\nrighteousness.
\nAnd here we have the method set <\/p>\n
312
\n00:21:17,840 –> 00:21:25,880
\nforth in a perfect way, OK.
\nAnd really, that’s what the <\/p>\n
313
\n00:21:25,880 –> 00:21:31,720
\ngreat sacrifice of God is.
\nWhat is a sacrifice It is this <\/p>\n
314
\n00:21:31,720 –> 00:21:38,920
\nperfect example of a man
\nobtaining redemption from a <\/p>\n
315
\n00:21:39,480 –> 00:21:45,160
\nhuman, mortal, sin prone,
\ntemptable condition up to. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:21:45,320 –> 00:21:48,680
\nThrough death and then a change
\nto immortality. <\/p>\n
317
\n00:21:49,240 –> 00:21:54,200
\nSo he’s called the first fruits.
\nHe’s the first one of that that <\/p>\n
318
\n00:21:54,280 –> 00:21:56,520
\nwould obtain through that
\nmethod. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:21:57,600 –> 00:22:03,200
\nEternal law have the idea.
\nOK, so it says. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:22:03,400 –> 00:22:07,560
\nAnd The thing is that God gave
\nhim this redemption and he says,<\/p>\n
321
\n00:22:07,640 –> 00:22:12,360
\nOK, we’re a family and I’m going
\nto give. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:22:12,360 –> 00:22:16,440
\nYou brothers and sisters.
\nAnd I’m going to let you share <\/p>\n
323
\n00:22:16,440 –> 00:22:20,240
\nyour redemption and your
\nachievements with them. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:22:20,880 –> 00:22:23,960
\nOh yeah, it’ll involve
\nforgiveness, but they’ve got to <\/p>\n
325
\n00:22:24,120 –> 00:22:26,840
\nat least.
\nFollow the direction you went <\/p>\n
326
\n00:22:27,520 –> 00:22:30,120
\nand that’s it.
\nIn simple terms, that’s the <\/p>\n
327
\n00:22:30,120 –> 00:22:33,800
\nwhole doctrine of the atonement.
\nIf we will endeavour to follow <\/p>\n
328
\n00:22:33,800 –> 00:22:39,000
\nHim and use the same methods
\nwithin the limits to our <\/p>\n
329
\n00:22:39,000 –> 00:22:43,800
\ncapacity and using the same
\nmethods for Christ’s sake, <\/p>\n
330
\n00:22:43,800 –> 00:22:48,040
\nbecause He did it perfectly and
\nbecause we’re His family, His <\/p>\n
331
\n00:22:48,040 –> 00:22:52,160
\nbrethren, sons of God by
\nadoption, behold on the children<\/p>\n
332
\n00:22:52,160 –> 00:22:56,680
\nthat is God’s children that have
\ngiven me, God lets us. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:22:57,560 –> 00:23:01,440
\nGod lets him share.
\nHis redemption with us, and that<\/p>\n
334
\n00:23:01,440 –> 00:23:08,800
\nwas in our readings.
\nThat was in our readings in John<\/p>\n
335
\n00:23:09,520 –> 00:23:12,920
\nJohn 5.
\nAs the Father hath life in <\/p>\n
336
\n00:23:12,920 –> 00:23:15,600
\nhimself, so if they’d given the
\nSon to have life in himself. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:23:15,920 –> 00:23:19,400
\nHe’s committed all judgment of
\nthe Son because he’s a son of <\/p>\n
338
\n00:23:19,400 –> 00:23:22,840
\nman.
\nHe’s one of man and man had <\/p>\n
339
\n00:23:23,040 –> 00:23:27,480
\ndishonored God, and this man and
\nhonored men attain unto the <\/p>\n
340
\n00:23:27,480 –> 00:23:30,600
\nsalvation that I intended for
\nthe human race and so on. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:23:31,720 –> 00:23:38,160
\nOK, so let’s get on with verse
\n25, whom our concentrate very <\/p>\n
342
\n00:23:38,160 –> 00:23:45,080
\nhard whom God has set forth.
\nWe won’t change that it could be<\/p>\n
343
\n00:23:45,080 –> 00:23:48,640
\nchanged, but that’s OK means for
\nordained. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:23:49,000 –> 00:23:53,960
\nSome translated it publicly
\nshown, but as the margin says, <\/p>\n
345
\n00:23:53,960 –> 00:23:56,560
\nit does actually mean ordained
\nbeforehand. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:23:57,240 –> 00:24:01,720
\nGod ordained well beforehand was
\nin the predetermined counsel of <\/p>\n
347
\n00:24:01,720 –> 00:24:06,000
\nGod that he would get Jesus
\nChrist and make him what he says<\/p>\n
348
\n00:24:06,000 –> 00:24:09,920
\nHe makes him here.
\nSo God sets him forth to be a <\/p>\n
349
\n00:24:09,920 –> 00:24:20,760
\npropitiation in his blood, and
\nGod has set forth to be a <\/p>\n
350
\n00:24:20,840 –> 00:24:25,920
\npropitiation in his.
\nBlood and you’re going to <\/p>\n
351
\n00:24:25,920 –> 00:24:31,320
\nbelieve it seems to be the flow
\nof thought, OK. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:24:31,840 –> 00:24:34,760
\nAnd then the revised version,
\nthey changed these commas. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:24:35,080 –> 00:24:38,040
\nThey put a comma there.
\nAnd there, instead of it being <\/p>\n
354
\n00:24:38,040 –> 00:24:42,600
\njust faith in his blood, the
\npropitiation that was set forth <\/p>\n
355
\n00:24:42,920 –> 00:24:46,160
\nis the propitiation in his
\nblood. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:24:51,320 –> 00:24:55,440
\nIn his death, the blood is
\ndeath, OK? <\/p>\n
357
\n00:24:56,200 –> 00:25:00,880
\nIt’s not literal blood.
\nLiteral blood is only the Law of<\/p>\n
358
\n00:25:00,880 –> 00:25:06,240
\nMoses type of giving up life.
\nWhen it says blood, it simply <\/p>\n
359
\n00:25:06,240 –> 00:25:09,520
\nmeans his voluntary death.
\nThat’s all it means, his <\/p>\n
360
\n00:25:09,560 –> 00:25:13,520
\nvoluntary death.
\nHe’s a man who voluntarily die. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:25:13,800 –> 00:25:18,320
\nThat’s what blood means, OK?
\nEven though the law of Moses, <\/p>\n
362
\n00:25:18,520 –> 00:25:21,400
\nthe blood is put for the Life,
\nOK. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:25:22,920 –> 00:25:25,160
\nIn the when you come to the New
\nTestament, they use the Old <\/p>\n
364
\n00:25:25,160 –> 00:25:26,960
\nTestament language as a
\nshorthand. <\/p>\n
365
\n00:25:26,960 –> 00:25:33,240
\nAnd when they use blood, they
\nmean his death, his voluntary <\/p>\n
366
\n00:25:33,240 –> 00:25:34,640
\ndeath.
\nThat’s all it means. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:25:35,320 –> 00:25:39,200
\nLet’s keep it simple.
\nOK, So what was he doing? <\/p>\n
368
\n00:25:41,040 –> 00:25:44,320
\nIt says he’s been a propitiatory
\nin the last occasion someone <\/p>\n
369
\n00:25:44,320 –> 00:25:47,520
\nsaid a propitiation is a mercy
\nseat. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:25:47,520 –> 00:25:50,720
\nRemember someone said that.
\nAnd that the word only occurs <\/p>\n
371
\n00:25:50,720 –> 00:25:54,720
\nonce more, and that’s in Hebrews
\nand it’s translated mercy seat. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:25:55,120 –> 00:25:58,000
\nOK, but it does occur more than
\nonce. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:25:58,000 –> 00:26:01,280
\nIt occurs quite a few times, but
\nnot in that exact form. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:26:02,160 –> 00:26:06,440
\nThat’s sometimes.
\nIt occurs in the First of John <\/p>\n
375
\n00:26:06,440 –> 00:26:08,560
\nchapters.
\nFirst of John. <\/p>\n
376
\n00:26:08,560 –> 00:26:12,200
\nChapter 2.
\nIt occurs there, Christ to us, <\/p>\n
377
\n00:26:12,200 –> 00:26:16,440
\nour propitiation for our sins.
\nIt’s a slightly different <\/p>\n
378
\n00:26:16,680 –> 00:26:19,960
\nvariation of the word, but it’s
\nthe same basic word. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:26:20,080 –> 00:26:23,120
\nOK.
\nAnd and and. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:26:23,160 –> 00:26:25,680
\nMercy seats.
\nOK, right. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:26:25,680 –> 00:26:30,560
\nBut it’s actually in the Greek
\nit means the place of favour. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:26:31,920 –> 00:26:38,440
\nIn the Hebrew it was Caporet and
\nit means the place of covering. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:26:40,000 –> 00:26:43,920
\nOK.
\nIt’s the place where the high <\/p>\n
384
\n00:26:43,920 –> 00:26:46,840
\npriest went to sprinkle the
\nblood once a year in the Day of <\/p>\n
385
\n00:26:46,840 –> 00:26:50,080
\nAtonement and obtained
\nforgiveness of sins. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:26:50,720 –> 00:26:55,280
\nIt’s the place of favour for
\nforgiveness, for acceptance. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:26:55,520 –> 00:26:58,920
\nIt’s the place.
\nSo what is the real place? <\/p>\n
388
\n00:26:59,600 –> 00:27:01,640
\nIs that the mercy said in the
\nTabernacle? <\/p>\n
389
\n00:27:01,640 –> 00:27:03,000
\nNow?
\nThat’s not the real place. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:27:03,000 –> 00:27:08,640
\nThe real place is Jesus Christ.
\nDeath here is the. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:27:08,640 –> 00:27:13,880
\nPlace right there, God says.
\nI’ll meet you there. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:27:14,720 –> 00:27:18,520
\nI’ll meet you for the purposes
\nof covering, I’ll meet you for <\/p>\n
393
\n00:27:18,520 –> 00:27:21,680
\nthe persons of favour.
\nPurposes of favour. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:27:22,320 –> 00:27:25,920
\nI will meet you nowhere else.
\nThere’s none other name given <\/p>\n
395
\n00:27:25,920 –> 00:27:28,640
\nunder heaven whereby men might
\nbe saved. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:27:28,960 –> 00:27:33,920
\nGod says I’ll only meet you at
\nJesus Christ and him crucified. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:27:38,960 –> 00:27:39,920
\nOK.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
398
\n00:27:40,680 –> 00:27:43,080
\nWhy only there and why at his
\nblood? <\/p>\n
399
\n00:27:44,600 –> 00:27:47,680
\nOK, why?
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
400
\n00:27:49,320 –> 00:27:51,440
\nHas anyone got any problem with
\nthat on you anyway? <\/p>\n
401
\n00:27:51,440 –> 00:27:57,880
\nSo far?
\nLet’s go into why through faith <\/p>\n
402
\n00:27:57,880 –> 00:28:01,080
\nin his blood.
\nThe next phrase is the great <\/p>\n
403
\n00:28:01,080 –> 00:28:05,560
\nphrase to declare His
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:28:05,960 –> 00:28:08,760
\nActually, if you got your
\npencils in the Greek, it <\/p>\n
405
\n00:28:08,760 –> 00:28:13,120
\nactually is.
\nTo declare the righteousness of <\/p>\n
406
\n00:28:13,120 –> 00:28:15,600
\nhim.
\nIt’s a the righteousness. <\/p>\n
407
\n00:28:15,600 –> 00:28:23,960
\nIt’s not a righteousness.
\nBoy, I’ve got ahead of it, <\/p>\n
408
\n00:28:23,960 –> 00:28:27,000
\nhaven’t I?
\nLet’s explain this chart before <\/p>\n
409
\n00:28:27,000 –> 00:28:29,720
\nwe deal with that.
\nDeclare God’s righteousness. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:28:30,360 –> 00:28:35,080
\nSo here’s a man, He has faith.
\nHe looks at this. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:28:35,600 –> 00:28:39,360
\nAnd he believes in it so much so
\nthat it turns him around. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:28:39,680 –> 00:28:41,360
\nWhat does what does he believe
\nin? <\/p>\n
413
\n00:28:41,360 –> 00:28:45,040
\nHe believes in the whole work
\nand ministry of Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:28:46,040 –> 00:28:51,240
\nIt’s called here the blood
\nbecause this is the main point <\/p>\n
415
\n00:28:51,320 –> 00:28:55,400
\nof the whole process, but it
\ninvolves the lot involve Jesus <\/p>\n
416
\n00:28:55,400 –> 00:28:58,680
\nChrist birth preparation.
\nHere’s Christ getting baptized. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:28:58,960 –> 00:29:04,680
\nHere’s his ministry all the life
\novercoming sin, exposing sin, <\/p>\n
418
\n00:29:05,680 –> 00:29:10,240
\nmanifesting God.
\nOK, and it all comes to a final <\/p>\n
419
\n00:29:10,240 –> 00:29:13,240
\nmoment of triumph over
\ntemptation. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:29:14,080 –> 00:29:18,360
\nThe moral victory, the physical
\nvictory over death, comes here <\/p>\n
421
\n00:29:18,360 –> 00:29:20,720
\nwhen he gets raised and changed.
\nImmortality. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:29:20,720 –> 00:29:23,840
\nThat’s the physical victory, but
\nthat’s the easy bit. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:29:24,080 –> 00:29:27,640
\nThis is the hard bit, and that’s
\nwhy so much stress is placed <\/p>\n
424
\n00:29:27,640 –> 00:29:29,560
\nupon it.
\nIt was. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:29:29,560 –> 00:29:34,120
\nHere, Here was a moral victory.
\nHere was the victory of a man <\/p>\n
426
\n00:29:34,120 –> 00:29:38,240
\nwho’d taken on board the divine
\nmind, and that had proved more <\/p>\n
427
\n00:29:38,240 –> 00:29:40,920
\npowerful than the mind of the
\nflesh. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:29:41,840 –> 00:29:44,840
\nThe first Adam and God created
\nhad failed to do it. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:29:45,440 –> 00:29:49,600
\nHe was the second Son, Son of
\nGod, and he did it. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:29:49,600 –> 00:29:53,320
\nAnd that honored God, and it
\ntook away the big question mark <\/p>\n
431
\n00:29:53,800 –> 00:29:57,640
\nabout the efficacy of the divine
\nWord in the life of people. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:29:58,360 –> 00:30:02,000
\nIt showed that given a man the
\ncapacity to take it fully on <\/p>\n
433
\n00:30:02,000 –> 00:30:07,080
\nboard, it was all powerful, OK.
\nIt was like, I mean, it’s a <\/p>\n
434
\n00:30:07,080 –> 00:30:10,160
\nprodigious thing that a man
\nshould live a completely sinless<\/p>\n
435
\n00:30:10,160 –> 00:30:12,360
\nlife.
\nIt’s absolutely prodigious in <\/p>\n
436
\n00:30:12,360 –> 00:30:15,080
\nthis nature.
\nTempted in all points like we <\/p>\n
437
\n00:30:15,080 –> 00:30:19,360
\nare all right.
\nAnd he didn’t have scars like <\/p>\n
438
\n00:30:19,360 –> 00:30:23,680
\nthis in his head, OK?
\nHe can perceive every sin, every<\/p>\n
439
\n00:30:23,680 –> 00:30:25,120
\nmoment.
\nOf pride of life. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:30:26,120 –> 00:30:29,400
\nAll right, every little thing
\nthat we don’t even know are sins<\/p>\n
441
\n00:30:29,400 –> 00:30:31,840
\nyet He would recognize and
\nsuppress. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:30:32,640 –> 00:30:37,400
\nHe was taught directly by God.
\nAll right, He was educated by. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:30:37,400 –> 00:30:39,800
\nGod.
\nHe was conceived by God to give <\/p>\n
444
\n00:30:39,800 –> 00:30:44,200
\nhim the capacity to do it.
\nAnd then God directly educated <\/p>\n
445
\n00:30:44,200 –> 00:30:45,880
\nhim.
\nHe opened his ear morning by <\/p>\n
446
\n00:30:45,880 –> 00:30:48,280
\nmorning and gave him the tongue
\nof the learn. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:30:48,560 –> 00:30:50,680
\nThat’s opened my ear.
\nMy body is there. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:30:50,680 –> 00:30:53,760
\nPrepared in all those places,
\nPsalm 119 is the. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:30:54,360 –> 00:30:56,840
\nIt’s all about the Word of God,
\nthe Word of God, and that’s the <\/p>\n
450
\n00:30:56,920 –> 00:30:59,040
\nSpirit of Christ.
\nPsalm 19 and all the other <\/p>\n
451
\n00:30:59,040 –> 00:31:02,560
\npsalms as well.
\nOK, so it it vindicated the <\/p>\n
452
\n00:31:02,560 –> 00:31:06,400
\npower of the divine.
\nMind, you can’t go higher. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:31:06,400 –> 00:31:10,360
\nThan the divine mind, it
\nvindicated that and showed that <\/p>\n
454
\n00:31:10,360 –> 00:31:16,000
\nit is more powerful than the
\ngreat power of carnal thinking. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:31:16,720 –> 00:31:19,080
\nOK.
\nThat’s fundamental, the <\/p>\n
456
\n00:31:19,080 –> 00:31:21,440
\natonement.
\nGod gets honoured first. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:31:21,760 –> 00:31:25,120
\nOh, we’re looking for salvation
\nand forgiveness, but what <\/p>\n
458
\n00:31:25,120 –> 00:31:29,560
\nhappens first is God’s got to be
\non OK, That’s fundamentally <\/p>\n
459
\n00:31:29,560 –> 00:31:32,800
\nyou’ve got to God’s, you’ve got
\nto love. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:31:32,800 –> 00:31:35,800
\nHim first, then your neighbor as
\nyourself, God first. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:31:36,680 –> 00:31:38,680
\nYou’re totally dependent on him
\nfor everything. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:31:38,720 –> 00:31:44,600
\nShouldn’t it be so?
\nShouldn’t it be so so when it <\/p>\n
463
\n00:31:44,600 –> 00:31:48,720
\nsays his blood?
\nIt’s taking the pivotal point of<\/p>\n
464
\n00:31:48,720 –> 00:31:53,480
\nthe whole thing to represent the
\nwhole process that there is sort<\/p>\n
465
\n00:31:53,480 –> 00:31:55,840
\nof taken as a heading for the
\nwhole process. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:31:55,920 –> 00:32:00,080
\nHis development, his baptism,
\nhis ministry, his death, his <\/p>\n
467
\n00:32:00,080 –> 00:32:03,480
\nresurrection, his elevation to
\nGod, to sit on the right hand of<\/p>\n
468
\n00:32:03,480 –> 00:32:07,560
\nGod.
\nIf you can believe that to the <\/p>\n
469
\n00:32:07,560 –> 00:32:11,360
\npoint believe all that to the
\npoint where it turns you round <\/p>\n
470
\n00:32:12,080 –> 00:32:17,760
\nand you’re prepared to identify
\nwith it in baptism and start <\/p>\n
471
\n00:32:17,760 –> 00:32:23,160
\ntaking on board the help that
\nGod gives us and and show the <\/p>\n
472
\n00:32:23,160 –> 00:32:25,720
\nsame spirit of dependence ABBA
\nfather. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:32:25,720 –> 00:32:31,040
\nIn other words, help if you can
\ntake that on board God says <\/p>\n
474
\n00:32:31,120 –> 00:32:35,320
\namnesty.
\nI forgive and I accept your <\/p>\n
475
\n00:32:35,320 –> 00:32:40,640
\nrepentance.
\nAnd mate, how well? <\/p>\n
476
\n00:32:40,640 –> 00:32:44,960
\nDid you repent?
\nYou know, I got baptized when I <\/p>\n
477
\n00:32:44,960 –> 00:32:51,160
\nwas 16 1\/2.
\nYeah, I repented and I changed <\/p>\n
478
\n00:32:51,160 –> 00:32:53,320
\ndirection.
\nAnd I wonder how well I’ve been.<\/p>\n
479
\n00:32:53,880 –> 00:32:56,120
\nI’ve been changing it every day
\never since. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:32:56,520 –> 00:32:58,840
\nIn other words, there’s a
\nmillion since. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:32:58,840 –> 00:33:00,360
\nI didn’t even know her since
\nthen. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:33:00,880 –> 00:33:04,120
\nBut I changed the general
\ndirection of life. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:33:04,560 –> 00:33:07,680
\nOK, I I didn’t want to pursue
\nthe life of sin. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:33:07,680 –> 00:33:10,040
\nI didn’t want to race after the
\nworld and everything that’s got <\/p>\n
485
\n00:33:10,040 –> 00:33:12,760
\nme more.
\nI wanted to try and follow God’s<\/p>\n
486
\n00:33:12,760 –> 00:33:18,640
\nways, but what an imperfect,
\nwhat a very imperfect <\/p>\n
487
\n00:33:18,640 –> 00:33:23,000
\nrepentance.
\nSo even even to. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:33:24,320 –> 00:33:26,880
\nSay you were forgot to say I
\naccept your. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:33:26,880 –> 00:33:29,280
\nRepentance.
\nEven that’s forgiveness. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:33:30,440 –> 00:33:35,080
\nEven that’s forgiveness, OK?
\nSo that’s a wonderful act of <\/p>\n
491
\n00:33:35,080 –> 00:33:37,680
\ndivine grace.
\nSo we. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:33:37,680 –> 00:33:38,840
\nCome on to the next.
\nPhrase. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:33:38,840 –> 00:33:40,960
\nSo what was God Christ doing
\nhere? <\/p>\n
494
\n00:33:42,480 –> 00:33:46,680
\nThe next phrase in the verse is
\nhe was declaring his <\/p>\n
495
\n00:33:46,760 –> 00:33:50,560
\nrighteousness.
\nThat is the righteousness of <\/p>\n
496
\n00:33:50,560 –> 00:33:54,080
\nGod.
\nHe was actually declaring that <\/p>\n
497
\n00:33:54,080 –> 00:34:02,920
\nGod was personally righteous.
\nHe’s not talking about the <\/p>\n
498
\n00:34:02,920 –> 00:34:07,400
\nmethod of righteousness.
\nHe’s saying God when he died <\/p>\n
499
\n00:34:07,400 –> 00:34:11,679
\nthere he was saying God is
\nrighteous. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:34:12,800 –> 00:34:16,920
\nEarlier in chapter 3 in the
\nearly verses it said says let <\/p>\n
501
\n00:34:16,920 –> 00:34:19,920
\nGod be true and every man a
\nliar, let him be righteous <\/p>\n
502
\n00:34:20,400 –> 00:34:22,639
\nright.
\nThen it quotes from the Psalm <\/p>\n
503
\n00:34:22,639 –> 00:34:27,000
\nwith David, with the sin of
\nBathsheba, and he and it says. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:34:28,400 –> 00:34:31,840
\nAnd it says that there might
\njust be righteous fight in thy <\/p>\n
505
\n00:34:31,840 –> 00:34:34,719
\nsayings, and they might overcome
\nwhen they are judged. <\/p>\n
506
\n00:34:34,719 –> 00:34:38,159
\nDavid knew, and that Psalm 51,
\nthat Psalm of repentance. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:34:38,159 –> 00:34:41,120
\nSo the first thing he had to do
\nwas acknowledge that God was <\/p>\n
508
\n00:34:41,120 –> 00:34:43,360
\nright and his judgement.
\nHe knew he should have been put <\/p>\n
509
\n00:34:43,360 –> 00:34:45,719
\nto death.
\nAnd he acknowledged that God was<\/p>\n
510
\n00:34:45,719 –> 00:34:49,199
\nrighteous and against thee only
\nhave I sinned and done this <\/p>\n
511
\n00:34:49,199 –> 00:34:52,840
\ngreat evil in my sight.
\nHe had to acknowledge that God’s<\/p>\n
512
\n00:34:52,840 –> 00:34:56,280
\njudgments on sin are correct.
\nAnd what he should have been <\/p>\n
513
\n00:34:56,280 –> 00:35:00,920
\ndoing, he wasn’t doing on that
\noccasion he wasn’t doing OK. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:35:01,280 –> 00:35:05,160
\nSo there has to be a vindication
\nthat God’s position is correct <\/p>\n
515
\n00:35:05,440 –> 00:35:07,920
\nand yours is not.
\nI mean, another man could have <\/p>\n
516
\n00:35:07,920 –> 00:35:12,240
\nsaid, Oh yeah, I got mixed up
\nwith Bathsheba, but I’ve been <\/p>\n
517
\n00:35:12,240 –> 00:35:15,960
\nthrough a lot, saw that, been
\nchasing me for donkeys years. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:35:15,960 –> 00:35:19,200
\nAnd now the whole I’ve got the
\nwhole Kingdom and the pressure, <\/p>\n
519
\n00:35:19,520 –> 00:35:22,840
\nit just got the better of me.
\nAnd in the end I went over the <\/p>\n
520
\n00:35:22,840 –> 00:35:24,600
\nedge and I was a nervous
\nbreakdown. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:35:24,600 –> 00:35:28,480
\nAnd then that innovative state,
\nI saw this woman and so on and <\/p>\n
522
\n00:35:28,480 –> 00:35:30,000
\nso.
\nThey could have put all these <\/p>\n
523
\n00:35:30,000 –> 00:35:34,160
\nexcuses OK.
\nThat’s not out. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:35:34,160 –> 00:35:37,320
\nIt’s OK.
\nGod wants confession. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:35:38,680 –> 00:35:41,120
\nGod wants you to.
\nFace up to the facts. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:35:41,920 –> 00:35:44,160
\nGod wants confession.
\nI’ll keep quoting to you <\/p>\n
527
\n00:35:45,080 –> 00:35:52,160
\nProverbs 28, verse 13 or 14.
\nHe that confesses and forsakeeth<\/p>\n
528
\n00:35:52,160 –> 00:35:55,040
\nhis sin shall find mercy with
\nGod. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:35:56,000 –> 00:36:00,800
\nHe that confesses and forsakeeth
\nhis sin shall find mercy with <\/p>\n
530
\n00:36:00,800 –> 00:36:04,360
\nGod.
\nBut we’ve got a problem. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:36:05,200 –> 00:36:07,000
\nAnd this is key to the
\natonement. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:36:08,920 –> 00:36:15,320
\nYou can’t fully confess your
\nsin, nor can you fully confess <\/p>\n
533
\n00:36:16,080 –> 00:36:20,640
\nGod’s righteousness.
\nThere’s a lot of righteous <\/p>\n
534
\n00:36:20,920 –> 00:36:23,800
\ncharacteristics about God that
\nyou haven’t even learned about <\/p>\n
535
\n00:36:23,800 –> 00:36:28,560
\nyet, in all their subtleties.
\nThere’s a lot of sins that you <\/p>\n
536
\n00:36:28,560 –> 00:36:31,880
\nhaven’t woken up to yet.
\nAre sins, they may be just the <\/p>\n
537
\n00:36:31,880 –> 00:36:35,680
\nway you react to a conversation
\neach time or a given situation, <\/p>\n
538
\n00:36:35,920 –> 00:36:38,560
\nwhich by habit you’d think’s OK.
\nAnd that’s right, you haven’t <\/p>\n
539
\n00:36:38,560 –> 00:36:42,320
\neven learned that.
\nThat’s really a quite selfish <\/p>\n
540
\n00:36:42,320 –> 00:36:44,840
\nand unscriptural position.
\nYou just haven’t learned it. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:36:45,160 –> 00:36:46,440
\nThat’s probably true to me
\nanyway. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:36:46,760 –> 00:36:50,040
\nHow much more so when you’re
\nyoung, 16 1\/2? <\/p>\n
543
\n00:36:50,280 –> 00:36:53,360
\nHow much you know?
\nHow well could I? <\/p>\n
544
\n00:36:53,360 –> 00:36:58,760
\nConfess how righteous God was
\nand how sinful I was. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:36:59,920 –> 00:37:03,760
\nI did it, but to a limited
\ndegree. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:37:04,960 –> 00:37:10,880
\nTo a limited degree, there’s
\nonly one man who could fully. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:37:10,880 –> 00:37:19,200
\nConfess all sin and the enormity
\nof it, and full manifestation <\/p>\n
548
\n00:37:19,480 –> 00:37:24,720
\nand appreciation and recognition
\nand copying of God’s values and <\/p>\n
549
\n00:37:24,720 –> 00:37:26,880
\nGod’s conduct.
\nThere’s only one man. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:37:27,280 –> 00:37:31,480
\nThat could completely do that.
\nAnd who did do it? <\/p>\n
551
\n00:37:33,480 –> 00:37:34,560
\nAnd that’s what it’s saying
\nhere. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:37:37,520 –> 00:37:42,560
\nHe came to declare and the key
\nword and this is absolutely <\/p>\n
553
\n00:37:42,560 –> 00:37:49,080
\nessential for you.
\nSo this word declare means more <\/p>\n
554
\n00:37:49,080 –> 00:37:52,160
\nthan declared involves the idea
\ndeclare and the views declare <\/p>\n
555
\n00:37:52,160 –> 00:37:54,640
\nbecause that’s how it occurs a
\nlot in the Old Testament. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:37:55,160 –> 00:37:59,040
\nOK, but.
\nIt’s a word. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:37:59,120 –> 00:38:05,360
\nIt’s not the usual word for
\ndeclare, OK, And this is a key <\/p>\n
558
\n00:38:05,360 –> 00:38:17,380
\nidea.
\nIt’s in dark SIS, whereas <\/p>\n
559
\n00:38:17,380 –> 00:38:21,660
\ndeclare is a completely
\ndifferent Greek word and it <\/p>\n
560
\n00:38:21,660 –> 00:38:25,900
\nmeans to show forth that says
\nhere in the Greek interlinear to<\/p>\n
561
\n00:38:25,900 –> 00:38:30,940
\nshow forth.
\nA lot of translations translated<\/p>\n
562
\n00:38:31,740 –> 00:38:38,520
\ndemonstrate it comes the most to
\nTo study it in your <\/p>\n
563
\n00:38:38,520 –> 00:38:42,560
\nconcordances, you’ve got to look
\nup the word show because the <\/p>\n
564
\n00:38:42,560 –> 00:38:48,120
\nmain word is it’s a.
\nThe basic word is actually DEI <\/p>\n
565
\n00:38:48,120 –> 00:38:51,840
\nall.
\nRight, but there’s all these <\/p>\n
566
\n00:38:51,840 –> 00:38:57,320
\nwords with different startings.
\nThis one’s N indexes OK, others <\/p>\n
567
\n00:38:57,400 –> 00:39:01,320
\nat our, and then there’s.
\nDigna And then it goes on and <\/p>\n
568
\n00:39:01,320 –> 00:39:03,800
\non, All these different words,
\nbut they all come from this <\/p>\n
569
\n00:39:03,800 –> 00:39:08,920
\nbasic idea of putting something
\non exhibition to be seen. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:39:10,720 –> 00:39:14,600
\nAnd in the blood of Christ,
\nUncle Ron, doesn’t he always <\/p>\n
571
\n00:39:14,600 –> 00:39:17,560
\ntalk about an exhibition of the
\nrighteousness of God? <\/p>\n
572
\n00:39:17,560 –> 00:39:19,800
\nHe loves Brother Roberts loves
\nthis word exhibit. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:39:20,080 –> 00:39:21,920
\nYou wonder where he got it from?
\nThat’s where he got it from. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:39:22,360 –> 00:39:26,760
\nAnd says, Brother Carter, they
\nuse this word exhibit or show or<\/p>\n
575
\n00:39:27,160 –> 00:39:29,800
\nknowledge dinner, right?
\nThey get it. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:39:29,800 –> 00:39:31,800
\nThey’ve looked all this up.
\nThey know they’re Greek. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:39:31,960 –> 00:39:35,320
\nThey know they’re Hebrew, OK.
\nAnd they just, they don’t <\/p>\n
578
\n00:39:35,320 –> 00:39:40,080
\nexplain where they got it from,
\nbut they say he exhibited the <\/p>\n
579
\n00:39:40,080 –> 00:39:43,320
\nrighteousness of God.
\nOK. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:39:44,160 –> 00:39:48,800
\nSo basically it comes from the
\nidea of putting something on <\/p>\n
581
\n00:39:48,800 –> 00:39:50,680
\nexhibit, therefore putting it on
\nshow. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:39:51,920 –> 00:39:53,000
\nI know.
\nAnd. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:39:53,720 –> 00:39:56,840
\nIt’s very common in the word
\nshow in the Bob which occurs a <\/p>\n
584
\n00:39:56,840 –> 00:40:01,880
\nlot of times and most of the
\nwords where the word show SHEW <\/p>\n
585
\n00:40:01,880 –> 00:40:06,360
\nor SHOW which is the old.
\nSpelling comes from this idea of<\/p>\n
586
\n00:40:06,360 –> 00:40:11,080
\nputting something on exhibit.
\nI don’t know, you know, coming <\/p>\n
587
\n00:40:11,080 –> 00:40:14,400
\nfrom Keener Barabrand.
\nWe used to go to what we call <\/p>\n
588
\n00:40:14,400 –> 00:40:16,440
\nthat quip.
\nIt was a show. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:40:16,920 –> 00:40:18,080
\nYou went along there and what do
\nyou? <\/p>\n
590
\n00:40:18,080 –> 00:40:20,840
\nExpect to see you expect to see
\nthe latest harvesters, the <\/p>\n
591
\n00:40:20,840 –> 00:40:24,240
\ntractors and all the different
\ncattle. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:40:24,400 –> 00:40:27,920
\nWhen you were hungry, you would,
\nyou’d go to get a steak sandwich<\/p>\n
593
\n00:40:27,920 –> 00:40:30,640
\nand you either would gather the
\nMurray Grace steak sandwich or <\/p>\n
594
\n00:40:30,640 –> 00:40:34,520
\nthe, or the, or the Hereford
\nsteak sandwich. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:40:34,720 –> 00:40:38,160
\nThey’d always have a lovely
\nHereford there and ideal and, <\/p>\n
596
\n00:40:38,160 –> 00:40:41,040
\nand, and they would serve you
\nthese steak sandwiches. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:40:41,840 –> 00:40:45,080
\nAnd I mean, you put that much
\njolly sauce on it. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:40:45,080 –> 00:40:47,360
\nYou couldn’t tell the difference
\nin the steaks anyway, but. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:40:47,640 –> 00:40:50,840
\nThe thing is, when you went
\nthere, everything was on show. <\/p>\n
600
\n00:40:51,680 –> 00:40:54,520
\nOK, Everything there was there
\nto show. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:40:55,040 –> 00:40:57,800
\nThat’s the idea of the word.
\nAnd you’d come up to a pump and <\/p>\n
602
\n00:40:57,800 –> 00:40:59,400
\nthey’d have a cut in half or
\nhalf. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:40:59,400 –> 00:41:01,840
\nIt’d be plastic.
\nSo you can see actually how it <\/p>\n
604
\n00:41:01,840 –> 00:41:04,400
\nworked.
\nThey were showing, they were <\/p>\n
605
\n00:41:04,400 –> 00:41:08,520
\ndemonstrating, OK, and that’s.
\nThe idea of the word. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:41:09,960 –> 00:41:15,840
\nSo Jesus Christ came to
\ndemonstrate that the <\/p>\n
607
\n00:41:16,000 –> 00:41:20,120
\nrighteousness of God’s personal
\nrighteousness how right his <\/p>\n
608
\n00:41:20,120 –> 00:41:24,280
\njudgments are, particularly how
\nrighteous his judgments are <\/p>\n
609
\n00:41:24,560 –> 00:41:29,280
\nagainst sin, and how gracious
\nHis sentence is. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:41:29,840 –> 00:41:32,760
\nOn on on.
\nThose he wants to show mercy on <\/p>\n
611
\n00:41:34,600 –> 00:41:47,270
\nchapter 6 verse the last verse
\nin chapter 6, 6 verse 23 for the<\/p>\n
612
\n00:41:47,510 –> 00:41:56,320
\nwages of sin is death.
\nIf you serve your passions by <\/p>\n
613
\n00:41:56,320 –> 00:42:01,520
\ntransgressing God’s law that
\nbrings you to a state where you <\/p>\n
614
\n00:42:01,520 –> 00:42:05,600
\ndeserve death.
\nBut then there’s the other side <\/p>\n
615
\n00:42:05,600 –> 00:42:11,680
\nof God’s goodness and mercy.
\nBut the gift, no, earning the <\/p>\n
616
\n00:42:11,680 –> 00:42:17,720
\ngift of God is eternal life
\nthrough Jesus Christ our Lord. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:42:19,200 –> 00:42:23,520
\nNow you could say, declared the
\nrighteousness of God, and you <\/p>\n
618
\n00:42:23,520 –> 00:42:25,960
\ncould say, well, of course it
\nwas the word made. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:42:25,960 –> 00:42:30,120
\nFlesh.
\nYou know, John, chapter 14 was <\/p>\n
620
\n00:42:31,560 –> 00:42:37,560
\nwho said show us the Father.
\nShow us the father suffices. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:42:38,880 –> 00:42:42,920
\nWho said that Brother pooch.
\nYeah, His name? <\/p>\n
622
\n00:42:42,920 –> 00:42:44,720
\nPhilip.
\nYou see, that’s how he <\/p>\n
623
\n00:42:44,720 –> 00:42:46,840
\nremembered.
\nSee that instant response? <\/p>\n
624
\n00:42:47,840 –> 00:42:51,040
\nPhilip said Show us the father.
\nAnd he says, oh, I’ve been so <\/p>\n
625
\n00:42:51,040 –> 00:42:54,040
\nlong with you, and you say, so
\nwhen you see me, you see the <\/p>\n
626
\n00:42:54,080 –> 00:42:58,440
\nfire he manifested.
\nHe manifested the complete <\/p>\n
627
\n00:42:58,440 –> 00:43:01,680
\ncharacter of God and God’s
\nattitudes towards sin. <\/p>\n
628
\n00:43:01,960 –> 00:43:04,320
\nLook how.
\nHe went around exposing the <\/p>\n
629
\n00:43:04,320 –> 00:43:06,640
\nhypocrisy, the scribes and
\nPharisees. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:43:06,960 –> 00:43:11,680
\nLook how he went around exposing
\nthe hypocrisy of certain cities.<\/p>\n
631
\n00:43:12,040 –> 00:43:15,160
\nHe absolutely stripped and took
\noff. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:43:15,800 –> 00:43:19,160
\nAll right, he took off.
\nAny covering that was there, <\/p>\n
633
\n00:43:19,160 –> 00:43:23,160
\nthey typically expose sin all
\nthe time, and he recommended all<\/p>\n
634
\n00:43:23,160 –> 00:43:26,200
\nthe time.
\nThe divine attitudes of favour <\/p>\n
635
\n00:43:26,200 –> 00:43:30,120
\nand self-control and loving
\nkindness and compassion is <\/p>\n
636
\n00:43:30,120 –> 00:43:34,080
\nalways having compassion.
\nI mean, sure, it was a perfect <\/p>\n
637
\n00:43:34,080 –> 00:43:36,560
\nmanifestation of the full
\nrighteousness of God. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:43:37,200 –> 00:43:41,720
\nHowever, here there’s got to be
\nemphasis on certain aspects of <\/p>\n
639
\n00:43:41,720 –> 00:43:48,560
\nthat righteousness because we’re
\ndealing with sin, we’re dealing <\/p>\n
640
\n00:43:48,560 –> 00:43:53,400
\nwith a failure to manifest God,
\nand you’re dealing with pursuing<\/p>\n
641
\n00:43:53,880 –> 00:43:57,760
\nself indulgence despite what the
\nlaw of God says. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:43:58,960 –> 00:44:03,000
\nTherefore, you’ve got to look at
\nthe whole righteousness of God <\/p>\n
643
\n00:44:03,000 –> 00:44:08,360
\nthat Christ manifested and see
\nparticularly the aspect that <\/p>\n
644
\n00:44:08,440 –> 00:44:11,400
\nwould apply in this situation.
\nOK. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:44:13,120 –> 00:44:16,200
\nAnd that’s what we’ve got to
\nlook at. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:44:17,560 –> 00:44:25,320
\nAnd that’s what we’ve got to
\nrealize what’s going on, God <\/p>\n
647
\n00:44:25,320 –> 00:44:29,400
\nsays in Isaiah 45.
\nWe’ve got. <\/p>\n
648
\n00:44:29,400 –> 00:44:33,000
\nIt here we’ll come to it in a
\nlater chart, that he is a just <\/p>\n
649
\n00:44:33,000 –> 00:44:38,120
\nGod and a saviour.
\nNow to be just, he should kill <\/p>\n
650
\n00:44:38,120 –> 00:44:41,080
\nus and we should stay dead.
\nTherefore, how can He save us? <\/p>\n
651
\n00:44:42,400 –> 00:44:46,520
\nOK.
\nThat’s the brother Carter. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:44:46,520 –> 00:44:47,960
\nCause the nerve of the
\natonement. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:44:47,960 –> 00:44:51,720
\nIt’s the problem.
\nGod is a judge and they’ll only <\/p>\n
654
\n00:44:51,720 –> 00:44:53,880
\ndo what’s right.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:44:54,360 –> 00:44:57,440
\nShall not the God of all the
\nearth do right? <\/p>\n
656
\n00:44:57,880 –> 00:44:59,600
\nOK.
\nShall not the judge of all the <\/p>\n
657
\n00:44:59,600 –> 00:45:02,400
\nearth do right?
\nSo that’s the essential problem.<\/p>\n
658
\n00:45:02,800 –> 00:45:07,840
\nHow does God get around?
\nNot how does he get around the <\/p>\n
659
\n00:45:07,840 –> 00:45:11,040
\nfact that he’s already condemned
\nman to death, right? <\/p>\n
660
\n00:45:11,040 –> 00:45:13,560
\nBy inheritance and by personal
\ncontact. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:45:14,040 –> 00:45:18,640
\nWe’re doubly condemned, OK,
\nwe’re born sin prone and and <\/p>\n
662
\n00:45:18,640 –> 00:45:21,400
\nthen we exacerbate that with
\ntheir own transgressions. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:45:21,760 –> 00:45:26,080
\nWe all repeat Adam, and then we
\nlive a life of. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:45:26,080 –> 00:45:28,560
\nHabits and everything that
\nbuilds into us, I mean. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:45:30,560 –> 00:45:32,400
\nTo be true.
\nHe’d have to abdicate his <\/p>\n
666
\n00:45:32,400 –> 00:45:34,520
\nsovereignty not to condemn us
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:45:34,840 –> 00:45:39,480
\nOK, How does he get around that,
\nuphold that and still save you? <\/p>\n
668
\n00:45:40,080 –> 00:45:42,240
\nHow can he forgive you rightly,
\nif you should? <\/p>\n
669
\n00:45:42,240 –> 00:45:44,240
\nDie, haven’t.
\nHow can he do it? <\/p>\n
670
\n00:45:44,680 –> 00:45:52,520
\nOK, well the answer is, is this
\nword here by confession? <\/p>\n
671
\n00:45:54,560 –> 00:45:58,920
\nGod will accept confession.
\nHe that confesseth and for the <\/p>\n
672
\n00:45:58,920 –> 00:46:03,080
\nsake of his sin will find mercy
\nwith God if a person <\/p>\n
673
\n00:46:03,120 –> 00:46:07,960
\nacknowledges his position.
\nNot acknowledges that he’s <\/p>\n
674
\n00:46:07,960 –> 00:46:11,280
\nworthy of death, acknowledges
\nthis is wretched state, <\/p>\n
675
\n00:46:11,880 –> 00:46:15,080
\nacknowledges that he needs
\nrehabilitation, etcetera, <\/p>\n
676
\n00:46:15,080 –> 00:46:19,040
\netcetera.
\nGod says that’s right for him to<\/p>\n
677
\n00:46:19,040 –> 00:46:23,320
\nforgive in that.
\nSituation, that’s the basic <\/p>\n
678
\n00:46:23,320 –> 00:46:29,200
\nconcept, but the problem is we
\ncan’t fully confess. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:46:29,760 –> 00:46:33,560
\nNow this is this is absolutely
\nfundamental, the atonement. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:46:34,440 –> 00:46:37,520
\nI mean, if all God wants is
\nconfession, well, let’s confess <\/p>\n
681
\n00:46:37,600 –> 00:46:40,640
\nwe don’t.
\nNeed Jesus Christ we need this <\/p>\n
682
\n00:46:40,640 –> 00:46:45,920
\nChrist because we can’t fully
\nconfess and he wants us to <\/p>\n
683
\n00:46:45,920 –> 00:46:51,720
\nconfess, but at the.
\nSame time, acknowledge that our <\/p>\n
684
\n00:46:51,720 –> 00:46:57,720
\nconfession is incomplete.
\nThat’s fundamentally attainment <\/p>\n
685
\n00:46:57,760 –> 00:47:00,400
\nto acknowledge that our
\nconfession is incomplete. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:47:00,720 –> 00:47:05,880
\nA confession we make by
\naccepting that God will not <\/p>\n
687
\n00:47:05,880 –> 00:47:10,760
\naccept us.
\nUnless we align ourself with the<\/p>\n
688
\n00:47:10,800 –> 00:47:16,640
\nonly one that fully confessed
\nhuman sin and divine homings. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:47:18,480 –> 00:47:23,840
\nThat’s why you know.
\nHe’ll forgive you for Christ’s <\/p>\n
690
\n00:47:23,840 –> 00:47:26,080
\nsake.
\nThat’s why even all the good <\/p>\n
691
\n00:47:26,080 –> 00:47:28,720
\nworks you do.
\nJust being here tonight is a <\/p>\n
692
\n00:47:29,000 –> 00:47:35,040
\nfulfilment of God’s will.
\nOK, but I’m sorry. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:47:36,400 –> 00:47:38,640
\nYour performance tonight, it’s
\nvery imperfect. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:47:38,720 –> 00:47:43,320
\nSo is mine, OK?
\nAnd it will only be acceptable <\/p>\n
695
\n00:47:43,320 –> 00:47:47,240
\nto God if you make the offering
\nof being here tonight through <\/p>\n
696
\n00:47:47,240 –> 00:47:51,720
\nChrist Jesus.
\nIf only you’ve got to say, well,<\/p>\n
697
\n00:47:51,720 –> 00:47:53,840
\nI’ve been here tonight and I’ve
\ngiven out 6000. <\/p>\n
698
\n00:47:53,840 –> 00:47:56,320
\nIf it’s not done that much.
\nNo, they are sisters, Lorna. <\/p>\n
699
\n00:47:56,760 –> 00:47:58,600
\nI don’t know.
\nI’ve been studied so much and <\/p>\n
700
\n00:47:58,600 –> 00:48:03,720
\nmarked up Romans and right, and
\nthey’re all the right things. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:48:03,720 –> 00:48:08,640
\nThey’re the right direction, but
\nyou will find that all our good <\/p>\n
702
\n00:48:08,640 –> 00:48:13,720
\nworks are imperfect, and
\ncertainly all our sins are far <\/p>\n
703
\n00:48:13,720 –> 00:48:19,720
\nfrom being right, therefore.
\nGod will only accept anything we<\/p>\n
704
\n00:48:19,720 –> 00:48:24,280
\ndo, good or bad, or he doesn’t.
\nHe’ll forgive the bad, and he’ll<\/p>\n
705
\n00:48:24,280 –> 00:48:28,080
\naccept the good things we do
\nlong as we recognize. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:48:28,720 –> 00:48:33,520
\nThat we are limited, and that’s
\ninherent in the word. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:48:33,520 –> 00:48:36,560
\nFaith.
\nAnd hearing in the word faith <\/p>\n
708
\n00:48:36,840 –> 00:48:39,160
\namongst other things, but they
\nfor the gospel and everything <\/p>\n
709
\n00:48:39,200 –> 00:48:44,480
\nthat goes with it is an
\nadmission that we can never be <\/p>\n
710
\n00:48:44,480 –> 00:48:48,760
\nworthy like the sun was.
\nThat’s only because we get a <\/p>\n
711
\n00:48:48,760 –> 00:48:53,320
\nfamily relationship with him
\nthat God graciously let’s him <\/p>\n
712
\n00:48:53,320 –> 00:48:59,400
\nshare his eternal life with us.
\nThat’s why we pray through Jesus<\/p>\n
713
\n00:48:59,400 –> 00:49:01,200
\nChrist.
\nGod doesn’t need a media. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:49:01,880 –> 00:49:05,360
\nHe can hear what you say, he can
\nunderstand you completely. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:49:06,320 –> 00:49:09,880
\nHe doesn’t need that and we can
\ntalk to God directly. <\/p>\n
716
\n00:49:09,880 –> 00:49:12,040
\nGod said no.
\nWell, you can’t talk to me <\/p>\n
717
\n00:49:12,040 –> 00:49:14,440
\ndirectly.
\nYou can only talk to me through <\/p>\n
718
\n00:49:14,440 –> 00:49:18,600
\nthe one who fully understands
\nthe position, understands you, <\/p>\n
719
\n00:49:18,800 –> 00:49:22,840
\nunderstands me and he’ll accept.
\nI’ll accept prayers through him <\/p>\n
720
\n00:49:22,840 –> 00:49:26,280
\nbecause you are acknowledging
\nthat even your most earnest. <\/p>\n
721
\n00:49:26,280 –> 00:49:30,920
\nPrayer is imperfect.
\nThat’s the difference between <\/p>\n
722
\n00:49:30,920 –> 00:49:34,840
\nJudaism, which says I earn it, I
\nthank thee God that I’m not like<\/p>\n
723
\n00:49:34,880 –> 00:49:38,520
\nthis Sinner.
\nI tired and I do this, I do <\/p>\n
724
\n00:49:38,520 –> 00:49:40,840
\nthat, I do this self
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
725
\n00:49:40,840 –> 00:49:42,800
\nIt’s all just the pride of life,
\nOK? <\/p>\n
726
\n00:49:43,200 –> 00:49:45,880
\nIt’s just the wrong methods
\nbuilt on wrong ideas. <\/p>\n
727
\n00:49:47,200 –> 00:49:50,800
\nSo when he declared the
\nrighteousness of God, he was <\/p>\n
728
\n00:49:50,800 –> 00:49:54,640
\nactually confession, confessing
\nthe human condition. <\/p>\n
729
\n00:49:55,440 –> 00:49:59,040
\nHe was an expert.
\nAnd he was the only one that <\/p>\n
730
\n00:49:59,040 –> 00:50:03,880
\ncould really confess just how
\nmuch the wages of sinners death <\/p>\n
731
\n00:50:03,880 –> 00:50:08,720
\nis, and just how much the gift
\nof God is eternal life. <\/p>\n
732
\n00:50:09,200 –> 00:50:12,760
\nHe was the only one that could
\nconfess that we can only do it <\/p>\n
733
\n00:50:12,760 –> 00:50:16,840
\nto a limited degree.
\nThat’s the key of the <\/p>\n
734
\n00:50:16,840 –> 00:50:19,560
\ntournament.
\nWe can only do it to a limited <\/p>\n
735
\n00:50:19,560 –> 00:50:23,840
\ndegree.
\nOur life is one of being turned <\/p>\n
736
\n00:50:23,840 –> 00:50:25,400
\nand following.
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
737
\n00:50:26,520 –> 00:50:30,560
\nWell, as Paul says, befollows of
\nme as I am it’s direction. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:50:30,880 –> 00:50:33,120
\nThere’s one thing I do
\nforgetting those things that <\/p>\n
739
\n00:50:33,120 –> 00:50:36,360
\nbehind I, I I set toward the
\nhigh. <\/p>\n
740
\n00:50:36,360 –> 00:50:38,360
\nMark of A.
\nCalling in Christ. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:50:38,360 –> 00:50:41,600
\nJesus, it’s all their job just
\nto stay in the right. <\/p>\n
742
\n00:50:41,600 –> 00:50:44,320
\nDirection, let alone give a
\nperfect service. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:50:45,120 –> 00:50:48,800
\nThat’s why everything has to be
\ndone through Jesus Christ, and <\/p>\n
744
\n00:50:48,800 –> 00:50:52,080
\nthat’ll stand with you each day.
\nRight through your life. <\/p>\n
745
\n00:50:52,160 –> 00:50:53,920
\nIt’ll stand with you when you’re
\ndying. <\/p>\n
746
\n00:50:54,600 –> 00:50:58,560
\nYou’ll die recognizing that you
\nshould die, but your recognition<\/p>\n
747
\n00:50:58,560 –> 00:51:01,720
\nof your death, your your
\nappreciation of it’s not that <\/p>\n
748
\n00:51:01,720 –> 00:51:03,720
\ngreat.
\nSo you die with Christ quite <\/p>\n
749
\n00:51:03,720 –> 00:51:06,040
\nliterally in death, you’re
\nresurrected. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:51:06,360 –> 00:51:08,400
\nYou pass through the judgment
\nseat with. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:51:08,400 –> 00:51:12,000
\nChrist, with those same
\nrecognitions, OK, same <\/p>\n
752
\n00:51:12,000 –> 00:51:15,680
\nacknowledgements, there’s no way
\nyou’d be accepted as a judgment <\/p>\n
753
\n00:51:15,680 –> 00:51:17,080
\nseat.
\nEven though you’d be judged <\/p>\n
754
\n00:51:17,120 –> 00:51:20,040
\naccording to your works, you’ll
\nbe judged according whether you <\/p>\n
755
\n00:51:20,240 –> 00:51:25,360
\ngenuinely attempted all right to
\nmaintain the right direction. <\/p>\n
756
\n00:51:25,760 –> 00:51:30,280
\nYou won’t be judged because you
\nyou reckon your, your, your acts<\/p>\n
757
\n00:51:30,280 –> 00:51:32,520
\nof righteousness exceeded your
\nsins or whatever. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:51:32,680 –> 00:51:34,080
\nThere’s no way it’ll be like
\nthat. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:51:34,280 –> 00:51:36,440
\nYou’re going to need Christ
\nright up to the moment of <\/p>\n
760
\n00:51:36,440 –> 00:51:39,320
\nimmortality, otherwise you’ll
\nnever make it. <\/p>\n
761
\n00:51:41,680 –> 00:51:46,600
\nSo here’s the confession.
\nThe great confessor Jesus Christ<\/p>\n
762
\n00:51:46,600 –> 00:51:53,080
\nwas talks about his confession
\nin Timothy Timothy 6 verse 23. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:51:53,560 –> 00:51:57,440
\nLet’s look at that Timothy 623.
\nWhat is it first? <\/p>\n
764
\n00:51:58,080 –> 00:52:01,240
\nNo, that’s Romans.
\nThat’s not the one I want Romans<\/p>\n
765
\n00:52:01,240 –> 00:52:04,080
\n623 you just quoted it’s not
\nthere. <\/p>\n
766
\n00:52:04,760 –> 00:52:06,480
\nWe’ve come to it on a later
\nchart. <\/p>\n
767
\n00:52:07,640 –> 00:52:09,440
\nWe won’t press it here.
\nWe’ll. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:52:09,720 –> 00:52:18,960
\nPress on, I’ll bog down so.
\nBut Jesus was baptized. <\/p>\n
769
\n00:52:19,280 –> 00:52:25,080
\nHe got baptized into the baptism
\nof John, and it was a baptism of<\/p>\n
770
\n00:52:25,080 –> 00:52:28,720
\nconfession.
\nRemember, they came to him as a <\/p>\n
771
\n00:52:28,720 –> 00:52:30,960
\nbaptism of confessing their
\nsins. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:52:31,120 –> 00:52:34,400
\nOK, Now you just got to think
\nabout that. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:52:35,160 –> 00:52:38,480
\nIf you’d been, if you’re 55
\nyears old, you went down the <\/p>\n
774
\n00:52:38,480 –> 00:52:42,160
\nwater and you had to confess
\nyour sins, you’d be standing <\/p>\n
775
\n00:52:42,160 –> 00:52:43,920
\nthere for two years reciting
\nthem all. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:52:44,800 –> 00:52:47,040
\nOK, so you didn’t actually do
\nthat. <\/p>\n
777
\n00:52:47,040 –> 00:52:49,480
\nYou may have confessed some
\nmajor besetting sin. <\/p>\n
778
\n00:52:49,760 –> 00:52:51,440
\nYou would confess you were a
\nSinner. <\/p>\n
779
\n00:52:52,200 –> 00:52:54,560
\nWhat would you actually and how
\nwould you confess it? <\/p>\n
780
\n00:52:55,120 –> 00:52:59,120
\nYou’d confess it by accepting
\nthe teaching of John. <\/p>\n
781
\n00:52:59,720 –> 00:53:03,960
\nAnd the teaching of John is
\nquite laid out for us right in <\/p>\n
782
\n00:53:04,080 –> 00:53:08,040
\nthe early chapters of Mark and
\nparticularly Isaiah 40, which. <\/p>\n
783
\n00:53:08,040 –> 00:53:12,560
\nWe’re going to look at in detail
\nin later situations. <\/p>\n
784
\n00:53:14,080 –> 00:53:20,800
\nAnd his gospel was All flesh is
\ngrass, and the goodliness <\/p>\n
785
\n00:53:20,800 –> 00:53:22,800
\nthereof is the flower of the
\nfield. <\/p>\n
786
\n00:53:23,640 –> 00:53:28,040
\nI can look good for a while, but
\nthen the Spirit blows upon it <\/p>\n
787
\n00:53:28,840 –> 00:53:31,160
\nand it fades.
\nAnd it’s finished. <\/p>\n
788
\n00:53:33,760 –> 00:53:38,680
\nMan is mortal, rightly so.
\nHe’s essentially a weak being. <\/p>\n
789
\n00:53:39,280 –> 00:53:42,280
\nMen don’t believe that.
\nMen believe they’re immortal. <\/p>\n
790
\n00:53:42,400 –> 00:53:43,840
\nThey think there’s a lot of good
\nin them. <\/p>\n
791
\n00:53:44,320 –> 00:53:47,000
\nThat’s what they believe.
\nEven the humanists that don’t <\/p>\n
792
\n00:53:47,000 –> 00:53:49,200
\nbelieve in God, they think
\nthere’s a lot of good in men, <\/p>\n
793
\n00:53:49,400 –> 00:53:52,840
\nOK?
\nAnd and they just don’t accept <\/p>\n
794
\n00:53:52,840 –> 00:53:55,200
\nthat.
\nAnd, and it’s one of the biggest<\/p>\n
795
\n00:53:55,200 –> 00:54:01,120
\nhumiliating things to accept
\nthat you are holy and rightly <\/p>\n
796
\n00:54:01,120 –> 00:54:05,120
\nimmortal of being and apart from
\nGod, you’re absolutely of no <\/p>\n
797
\n00:54:05,120 –> 00:54:07,280
\nmore value than the kangaroo in
\nthe paddock. <\/p>\n
798
\n00:54:09,880 –> 00:54:12,920
\nWhat?
\nMakes you valuable, is what? <\/p>\n
799
\n00:54:12,920 –> 00:54:15,840
\nBecause you’ve taken on board
\nwhat’s divine. <\/p>\n
800
\n00:54:15,840 –> 00:54:20,400
\nPaul says we have this treasure
\nin an earthen vessel, which is <\/p>\n
801
\n00:54:20,400 –> 00:54:22,760
\nthe same as saying all flesh is
\ngrass. <\/p>\n
802
\n00:54:23,040 –> 00:54:26,480
\nWe have this treasure, the
\ntruth, in an earthen vessel <\/p>\n
803
\n00:54:27,040 –> 00:54:29,880
\nthat’s come forth, that shine
\nforth from the face of Jesus <\/p>\n
804
\n00:54:29,880 –> 00:54:31,720
\nChrist.
\nIn our hearts that the. <\/p>\n
805
\n00:54:31,760 –> 00:54:34,600
\nExcellency of the power may be
\nof. <\/p>\n
806
\n00:54:34,600 –> 00:54:36,720
\nGod.
\nAnd not of ourselves. <\/p>\n
807
\n00:54:37,600 –> 00:54:45,800
\nOK, so.
\nJohn the Baptist taught man is <\/p>\n
808
\n00:54:45,800 –> 00:54:48,720
\nmortal and this is anti Judah.
\nYesterday he got stuck into the <\/p>\n
809
\n00:54:48,720 –> 00:54:50,480
\nJews.
\nWhat are you coming for here? <\/p>\n
810
\n00:54:50,480 –> 00:54:54,720
\nYou said this is you generation
\nof Vipers who’s warned you in <\/p>\n
811
\n00:54:54,720 –> 00:54:57,960
\nthe judgement to come.
\nGod’s able to raise up these <\/p>\n
812
\n00:54:57,960 –> 00:55:01,160
\nstones, children to Abraham.
\nYou’re saying you’ve got Abraham<\/p>\n
813
\n00:55:01,160 –> 00:55:02,720
\nto your father.
\nYou’re relying. <\/p>\n
814
\n00:55:02,720 –> 00:55:05,880
\nOn.
\nOn on race, racist attitudes, <\/p>\n
815
\n00:55:05,880 –> 00:55:08,200
\nthe superiority of the Jewish
\npeople. <\/p>\n
816
\n00:55:08,600 –> 00:55:13,080
\nYou’re relying on self and your
\nachievements to keep it a set of<\/p>\n
817
\n00:55:13,080 –> 00:55:15,520
\nrules to earn eternal life.
\nWhat are you doing? <\/p>\n
818
\n00:55:15,520 –> 00:55:18,240
\nComing out here, I’m teaching
\nthe exact opposite. <\/p>\n
819
\n00:55:18,480 –> 00:55:21,480
\nYou fellas believe in heaven,
\nyou believe in hell, you believe<\/p>\n
820
\n00:55:21,480 –> 00:55:24,160
\nin immortal soul.
\nThey believe all those things. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:55:24,160 –> 00:55:26,160
\nThey are the Catholic Church of
\ntheir day, OK? <\/p>\n
822
\n00:55:26,600 –> 00:55:30,680
\nThey believed in all those
\nthings and the devil being PLZ <\/p>\n
823
\n00:55:30,680 –> 00:55:34,680
\nBob instead of it being our own
\nhuman nation and temptability. <\/p>\n
824
\n00:55:34,920 –> 00:55:37,080
\nThey believe all those areas
\nthat what are you coming out of <\/p>\n
825
\n00:55:37,080 –> 00:55:39,280
\nhere for?
\nI teach the very opposite about <\/p>\n
826
\n00:55:39,280 –> 00:55:44,400
\nhuman nature to you guys and I
\nteach the word of God endures <\/p>\n
827
\n00:55:44,400 –> 00:55:47,880
\nforever.
\nI teach it’s not enough to have <\/p>\n
828
\n00:55:47,880 –> 00:55:51,280
\na set of rules outside you.
\nYou’re going to take on board <\/p>\n
829
\n00:55:51,280 –> 00:55:54,200
\nthe divine mind.
\nThat’s the only way to eternal <\/p>\n
830
\n00:55:54,200 –> 00:55:57,800
\nlife.
\nSo when people came to be <\/p>\n
831
\n00:55:58,280 –> 00:56:00,440
\nconfess their sins, they are
\nconfessing. <\/p>\n
832
\n00:56:00,440 –> 00:56:02,760
\nTheir total and rightful
\nmortality. <\/p>\n
833
\n00:56:03,680 –> 00:56:08,640
\nAnd any hope of life lies in
\ntaking on board the. <\/p>\n
834
\n00:56:08,640 –> 00:56:11,880
\nWord of God all.
\nRight, that’s created many <\/p>\n
835
\n00:56:11,880 –> 00:56:14,000
\nplaces in the New Testament,
\nthose words. <\/p>\n
836
\n00:56:14,400 –> 00:56:16,960
\nAnd the words applied to the
\ngospel and so on. <\/p>\n
837
\n00:56:17,120 –> 00:56:28,760
\nOK, many places it’s quoted so.
\nDon’t forget the clear means to <\/p>\n
838
\n00:56:28,760 –> 00:56:33,920
\ndemonstrate, to show, and many
\ntranslators actually translated <\/p>\n
839
\n00:56:34,360 –> 00:56:39,520
\ndemonstrate He came to
\ndemonstrate and how wonderfully <\/p>\n
840
\n00:56:39,840 –> 00:56:45,680
\nHe demonstrated and exposed how
\nsinful man is and how right <\/p>\n
841
\n00:56:45,680 –> 00:56:49,640
\nGod’s judgement upon sin is.
\nThe longer you stand there and <\/p>\n
842
\n00:56:49,640 –> 00:56:53,240
\nlook at Christ crucified, the
\nmore you’ll understand that. <\/p>\n
843
\n00:56:54,600 –> 00:57:08,200
\nOK, we could 5:00 to 9:00.
\nHow many weeks left in a year? <\/p>\n
844
\n00:57:12,280 –> 00:57:18,760
\nAnd that the recognition that
\ngreat confession becomes a basis<\/p>\n
845
\n00:57:19,360 –> 00:57:22,040
\nfor the remission of sins, your
\nfaith in it. <\/p>\n
846
\n00:57:22,400 –> 00:57:25,760
\nFaith in his butt.
\nWhen you see that man give that <\/p>\n
847
\n00:57:25,760 –> 00:57:29,200
\nperfect confession about human
\nnature and about God <\/p>\n
848
\n00:57:29,200 –> 00:57:33,320
\nmanifestation, when you can see
\nthat and up to the point where <\/p>\n
849
\n00:57:33,320 –> 00:57:38,600
\nyou say how terrible it is, you
\nknow you you’re really part of <\/p>\n
850
\n00:57:38,600 –> 00:57:43,280
\nthe crowd that has actually
\ncrucified the glory of God <\/p>\n
851
\n00:57:43,280 –> 00:57:44,840
\nyou’ve.
\nCrucified the sun, that’s what <\/p>\n
852
\n00:57:44,840 –> 00:57:47,320
\nyou sins do.
\nThat’s how terrible it is. <\/p>\n
853
\n00:57:48,040 –> 00:57:51,960
\nAnd, and, and he was numbered
\nwith the transgressions we <\/p>\n
854
\n00:57:51,960 –> 00:57:55,000
\nactually imposed upon him, all
\nthe pain and the suffering <\/p>\n
855
\n00:57:55,280 –> 00:57:57,920
\nthat’s really due to us.
\nHe’s not a substitute, but he <\/p>\n
856
\n00:57:58,000 –> 00:58:00,280
\nrepresents that way our true
\nposition. <\/p>\n
857
\n00:58:00,920 –> 00:58:04,800
\nAnd yet at the same time, he’s
\nshowing how our sins dishonor <\/p>\n
858
\n00:58:04,800 –> 00:58:08,840
\nGod and how God suffers.
\nHe suffers as if when we did the<\/p>\n
859
\n00:58:08,840 –> 00:58:11,800
\nwrong thing, as if a crown of
\nthorns was on his head and if he<\/p>\n
860
\n00:58:11,800 –> 00:58:15,320
\nhad been beaten with stripes and
\nif he’s been nailed a tree <\/p>\n
861
\n00:58:15,400 –> 00:58:19,000
\nemotionally on that in all their
\nafflictions I was afflicted. <\/p>\n
862
\n00:58:19,000 –> 00:58:22,880
\nGods have got a feeling and he
\nhe gets just like parents do <\/p>\n
863
\n00:58:22,880 –> 00:58:24,920
\nwhen their kids play up in a
\nterrible way. <\/p>\n
864
\n00:58:25,120 –> 00:58:27,240
\nThey feel that.
\nEmbarrassed and that in shame <\/p>\n
865
\n00:58:27,240 –> 00:58:32,400
\nand dishonored, you know, it’s
\nthat in a small way is an <\/p>\n
866
\n00:58:32,400 –> 00:58:36,240
\nindication how sensitive
\nrighteous being like God feels <\/p>\n
867
\n00:58:36,400 –> 00:58:39,920
\nwhen it’s creation.
\nTreat him like that so. <\/p>\n
868
\n00:58:40,880 –> 00:58:43,160
\nTalk about exposing how simple
\nwe are. <\/p>\n
869
\n00:58:43,160 –> 00:58:44,800
\nNo matter how you look at that,
\nOK. <\/p>\n
870
\n00:58:44,960 –> 00:58:48,600
\nAnd then when you look inside
\nthe mind of that, that bleeding <\/p>\n
871
\n00:58:48,600 –> 00:58:52,400
\nman, and you see the mentality
\nof someone that was still being <\/p>\n
872
\n00:58:52,400 –> 00:58:55,520
\nobedient right under death,
\nstill overcoming every <\/p>\n
873
\n00:58:55,520 –> 00:58:59,800
\ntemptation to retaliate, still
\nhad focused on the fact that he <\/p>\n
874
\n00:58:59,800 –> 00:59:01,840
\nwas.
\nConfessing the human condition <\/p>\n
875
\n00:59:02,080 –> 00:59:05,720
\nto lay a basis for our
\nforgiveness and conversion. <\/p>\n
876
\n00:59:06,280 –> 00:59:09,840
\nYou wonder at the great grace of
\nGod and you wonder at that sort <\/p>\n
877
\n00:59:09,840 –> 00:59:14,720
\nof quality, and if that can’t
\nturn you around to change the <\/p>\n
878
\n00:59:14,720 –> 00:59:19,000
\ndirection of life and you’re not
\nan honest heart and you’re not <\/p>\n
879
\n00:59:19,000 –> 00:59:21,080
\ngoing to make it, you’re just
\nnot good soil. <\/p>\n
880
\n00:59:26,160 –> 00:59:28,280
\nThat’s why it becomes a basis
\nfor the. <\/p>\n
881
\n00:59:28,280 –> 00:59:33,280
\nRemission of sins, right?
\nIt’s the God’s condition for his<\/p>\n
882
\n00:59:33,280 –> 00:59:41,280
\ngrace and mercy.
\nSo here’s God, he’s got <\/p>\n
883
\n00:59:41,280 –> 00:59:44,720
\nremission or forgiveness.
\nIt’s conditional. <\/p>\n
884
\n00:59:44,720 –> 00:59:48,040
\nIt’s conditional on Christ
\ndeclaring his righteousness. <\/p>\n
885
\n00:59:48,880 –> 00:59:54,200
\nHe’s raised from the dead.
\nAnd that and our belief in his <\/p>\n
886
\n00:59:54,400 –> 00:59:57,480
\ndeclaring God’s righteousness,
\nwhich was vindicated by his <\/p>\n
887
\n00:59:57,480 –> 01:00:02,320
\nresurrection, if we believe that
\nGod’s forgiveness reaches the <\/p>\n
888
\n01:00:02,320 –> 01:00:04,800
\nbeliever.
\nOK. <\/p>\n
889
\n01:00:09,680 –> 01:00:12,560
\nOh, we’ve finished the section.
\nThat’s the last week we’re <\/p>\n
890
\n01:00:12,560 –> 01:00:13,800
\nfinished.
\nThank you very much. <\/p>\n
891
\n01:00:14,240 –> 01:00:18,360
\nThat’s the last session coming
\nup, OK, where we’ll deal with <\/p>\n
892
\n01:00:18,360 –> 01:00:23,960
\nthis all flesh is grass and the
\nbaptism of Christ and all those <\/p>\n
893
\n01:00:23,960 –> 01:00:25,440
\nsort of things.
