WEBVTT 1 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:13.000 We should read our bibles as men dig for buried treasure. 2 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:16.640 One of the most high game with the nations their inheritance. 3 00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.440 When we divided mankind, he fixed the borders of people's 4 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.399 according to the number of the sons of God. 5 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.280 In those days and for some time after, giant Nephilites 6 00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.239 lived down to the earth. For whenever the sons of 7 00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:30.199 God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to children 8 00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.119 who became the heroes and famous warriors. 9 00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:33.600 Of ancient tides. 10 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.799 Take no part in the fruitless steeds of darkness, but 11 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.759 yet expose that though a. 12 00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.079 Thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying 13 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:43.560 around you. 14 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:49.840 These ears will not touching lives of garden man. 15 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:50.840 You gotta dig it. 16 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:57.679 Hell, old fellow treasure hunters, Welcome to the excavation side. 17 00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.240 I'must in alongside and when we got Ben Steve even 18 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.600 in Chad will be your guides on this excursion.

We went to Deston, Florida 38 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.159 for the week of July fourth. It was pretty awesome, 39 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:23.159 beautiful white sand beaches. It's usually clear water, but we were 40 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.319 there and they said that June grass was in bloom, 41 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.560 so it was kind of some seaweed and stuff. So 42 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.960 they say it's hitt and missed around that time of year, 43 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:40.080 it hit it hit, well, well, what are the two 44 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:40.319 of me? 45 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.199 Goes two? So it seems like it's been going on 46 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.120 the past couple episodes. 47 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.560 Its summertime, man, everybody's everybody's doing stuff out gallivanting, around 48 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:51.319 enjoying the weather. 49 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.879 I'm just I got so much here. I don't go nowhere. 50 00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.240 You're like me, Yeah, but you went on vacation. 51 00:02:58.599 --> 00:02:59.680 Well yeah, once a year. 52 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.639 I took your vacation, but I stayed here and worked. 53 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:05.960 I have to go back to work to get a break. 54 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.840 Well this with this one, I guess the subject matter 55 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:15.680 is is the law dead? 56 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.520 Yes? It is the old law dead. 57 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:26.319 And that's something that I would think that's should be 58 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.280 pretty fundamental as a Christian. You know, I was always, 59 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.439 you know, taught from a young age that you know, 60 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.479 we are brought in favor with God to grace the 61 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:41.520 gift that's freely given and not by works. But I understand, 62 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:43.599 you know, the Jewish religion, they don't really you know, 63 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:45.680 we've talked about this before. They'll Jesus. 64 00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:51.280 So they're still living under the old law, which is 65 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:54.960 impossible to accomplish. 66 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.080 Oh it is, So. 67 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:05.080 Therefore, I guess you'd have to sacrifice once a month. 68 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:09.400 Or once sacrifice? Well are you covered now? 69 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.199 But I didn't offer them to the lord, so I 70 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:19.040 guess not right. I need to go pick the fattest ones. 71 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.639 The ones with the prettier skin was too late without blemishes. 72 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:26.160 Yeah, you got to burn the fat. Yeah, but a 73 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:27.720 sweet savor to the Lord. 74 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:34.240 Yeah. Now, like for me, I never really studied this 75 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:40.120 until this past couple of weeks. I believe that, you know, 76 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:45.360 the the most of the old law was dead, you know, 77 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.680 the you know, like they had like you could only 78 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.519 take so many steps on the Sabbath day. You had 79 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.319 to prepare all your food the day before, so you 80 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:55.759 wasn't cooking on the Sabbath. 81 00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.800 You know, all this different sacrificial systems. 82 00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:00.519 Yeah, all this. 83 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.600 Uh, when your wife mins strait's gotta put her in 84 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.399 a cave for a week before. You can never see 85 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:07.319 your toucher. Yeah. 86 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:11.000 Yeah, you can't touch a woman who's unclean, which would 87 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.399 be daring her when her aunt Flow comes to visit 88 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:22.800 ant Flow. But but I always kind of assumed, you know, 89 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:27.639 like the Ten Commandments still stood. But I'm kind of 90 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:33.839 not there now. Which I'm not saying that the Ten 91 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:39.920 Commandments aren't good to follow, because obviously they are. And 92 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:48.120 if you're if you're following after after God and trying 93 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.480 to you know, be as close to Jesus like Christ 94 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.279 like as you can, then obviously you're gonna follow the 95 00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:02.480 ten Commandments minus the Sabbath day, because you know, if 96 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:07.360 you're not following the Sabbath day laws, the logistic laws, 97 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:13.600 you know, then does that throw out the Sabbath day altogether? Well? 98 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.319 Even Jesus said, you know was he said to the 99 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.560 Pharisees when they were picking grain and stuff. He said, 100 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.519 you know, the Sabbath was made from man man? Was 101 00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:23.639 it made for the Sabbath? 102 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:29.720 That's right. So as we get into this, I guess 103 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.879 we'll clear some of this up. 104 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.319 Oh yeah, And like with me too, that's you know, 105 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.160 me and Ben, we both arrive at the same finish 106 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.519 line on our thought process. You know. Like with me, 107 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:47.839 my thought process was all the old levitical laws, sacrificial system, 108 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:52.720 all that stuff was dead. But the Ten commandment stood, right, 109 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.680 And because they're good moral teachings, right, And it's not 110 00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:00.160 a basically a checklist you have to complete before you 111 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.079 get into heaven. It's just it's something that you don't 112 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:07.759 you don't have to do, but you therefore want to do. 113 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.079 I guess look at like this, if the Ten Commandments 114 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.839 were still law, what did you have to do to 115 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.720 repent for breaking the law? 116 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.600 Oh yeah, you have sacrifice sacrificial system. 117 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.319 Yeah, but we don't have to sacrifice nothing, right, So 118 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:29.360 therefore the payment for breaking the laws not there. So 119 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.639 if you're not paying to break the law, is the 120 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:32.560 law still there? 121 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.240 Oh yeah, I see what you're saying. Yeah, the whole 122 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:40.160 umbrella term. Yeah. So yeah, you ask for forgiveness instead 123 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.199 of doing works for forgiveness will righteousness right right? 124 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.240 Well if that made sense. 125 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.160 Oh yeah, clear as mud. Right. Yeah. 126 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:51.360 Yeah, that's all I'm good for. 127 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.759 But one thing I wanted to just kind of touch 128 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.439 on before we got started. There's a video you can 129 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.160 guys look at up. It's on YouTube and stuff and 130 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.000 the name of the company that does it. They they 131 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.680 do all these little short videos like with cartoons and 132 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.000 illustrations and really dumify stuff. And I really like I 133 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.759 like that too, the Bible Project and that's some of 134 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.680 the guys that's affiliated with the Logos and Faith Life 135 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:21.680 Bible Study and stuff like that. But they did a 136 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:25.560 video like on the law, and I just wanted to 137 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.160 touch on a few of those things before we got 138 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:30.519 started and digging into scripture because a lot of people 139 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.679 don't realize, I guess because I mean they're not Jewish. 140 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:37.399 They can't speak, you know, Hebrew or read Hebrew. I 141 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.399 can't neither, But I mean I can study and I 142 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:41.840 can stuff out. 143 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:43.519 You know, I can hardly read English. 144 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.240 Yeah, so I could dig a little bit. But a 145 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.279 lot of people don't realize. But there was six hundred 146 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.320 and thirteen commandments given to Israel in Genesis, Exodus, the 147 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:55.879 Bidicus numbers in Deuteronomy. 148 00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:56.720 It's a lot. 149 00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:59.159 Yeah, it's a lot. Like you said, it's almost I 150 00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:01.480 mean it might as well. It's impossible, you know, I mean, 151 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:03.879 only one man did it. Only one man did it. 152 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:08.200 But these are the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. 153 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:12.440 Is called the Torah. Well, Torah in English is translated 154 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:18.639 as the law. You know, am I supposed to obey 155 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.480 all of these some of these? What is the purpose 156 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.240 of the law? You know, the Torah aka the law 157 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:29.240 does have laws in it, but it is fundamentally a 158 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.840 story how God is creating a new kind of people 159 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.000 fully able to love God and love others. Jesus taught 160 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.480 about the Torah, you know, he was Jewish after all, 161 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:45.039 and how he brought that story to fulfillment. So what's 162 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.759 the overall story? The overall story? You know, Genesis God 163 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.559 created humanity, and they rebelled, you know, with some help 164 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.320 from the fallen angels and Satan himself of course. But 165 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:59.159 God chooses Abraham to bless all the nations through his 166 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.519 family who wound up in slavery in Egypt, and God 167 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:06.879 rescues them. So then we arrive at Exodus. You know, 168 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.960 Exodus is the rescue at Mount Sinai. God makes a covenant, 169 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.519 which is an agreement with his people. The laws that 170 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:17.120 Moses gives are the terms of that agreement, like a constitution. 171 00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:21.919 Some laws set Israel apart from other nations, some social 172 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:27.039 justice and morality. But following this, Israel would show that 173 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:29.919 other nations, show to other nations what God was like. 174 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:34.200 And the Ten Commandments were the first. So before there 175 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:36.759 is you know, he made the agreement. There's no transgressions 176 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.399 yet it's a fresh, clean new slate. They get the 177 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:44.759 Ten Commandments right, So right after this, Israel breaks those 178 00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:48.159 laws with the Golden Calf. So then we get into 179 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.600 the book a little bit. I yeah, exactly, and then 180 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:53.960 you get into Leviticus. You know, as a result, Moses 181 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:57.159 gives some more laws, then more stories of rebellion than 182 00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:02.840 more laws go into numbers rebellion again, more laws. More 183 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:06.120 rebellion equals what more laws? I think you guys just 184 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.519 start to get the point here, right. The laws come 185 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:13.399 because of transgressions. So when you get into Deuteronomy, the 186 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:17.159 conclusion of the stories Moses giving is giving his speech 187 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.919 to Israel as they prepare to enter the Promised Land, 188 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.559 and he tells them he knows that they're not going 189 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.440 to follow all of God's laws. You have proven yourselves incapable. 190 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.799 The problem was that their hearts were hard. They were 191 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:34.639 going to need a new and transformed heart if they 192 00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:37.639 were going to truly follow God's laws. And he was right. 193 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:42.120 So then you get into Joshua through Kings, this goes 194 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.080 on about all their total failures. They go into the land, 195 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.480 they break the laws. You know, it's never ending cycle. 196 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:51.480 It just keeps repeating itself all the way to today. Yeah, 197 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:54.559 so it says the next section of this book is 198 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:59.000 the book of the prophets. You got Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, 199 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:02.840 plus twelve other what they call minor prophets. You know, 200 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:05.440 in the book, Ezekiel said, if they were going to 201 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.840 ever obey God's law, he would have to transform their 202 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:14.000 hearts into new soft hearts. The Book of Jeremiah said 203 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:18.440 that It said that is when it wouldn't feel like 204 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.279 a duty or chore, that they would want to and 205 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:27.279 it would be written deep within their hearts. Then you've 206 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:31.960 come to Isaiah promised a future leader, Israel's Messiah, would 207 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:36.399 lead all of his people into obedience to the law. Together, 208 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.600 all these books are called the prophets, even the historical 209 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.440 ones Joshua through Ezekiel, and the twelve minor Prophets. They 210 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.559 are continuing the story from the perspective of the prophets. 211 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.279 The Old Testament, you know, which is the law, and 212 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:51.679 then the prophets. So the Law and the Prophets is 213 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.879 the Old Testament. Jesus saw himself as continuing that story, 214 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:59.399 so he agreed with the laws and the prophets when 215 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:03.039 he talked that's out of the human heart. That comes 216 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.519 out is the ugliest parts of humanity. The default settings 217 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:10.600 of our hearts is opposed to God's law. He came 218 00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:14.559 to solve that problem in his words, to fulfill the law, 219 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:20.279 Jesus said, we could fulfill God's law with his greatest commandment, 220 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:25.519 love God and love others. Love fulfills the law. So 221 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:29.519 Jesus fulfilled this law by fooling loving God and others, 222 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.960 thus showing the other nations what God was truly like 223 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.360 where Israel had failed. So after the Resurrection, he sent 224 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.559 the Holy Spirit to transform their hearts so they would 225 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:44.159 follow him and fulfill the purpose of the law, love 226 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:45.600 God and love others. 227 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:51.039 Yeah. Well, I mean he did the ultimate show of 228 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.200 love by diting for us on the cross. 229 00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:53.919 Amen. 230 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:57.639 I mean, and I can't remember where the verse is, 231 00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:02.320 but there is a verse that as no greater is 232 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.399 the love of one man dying for another. 233 00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.720 Yeah, life for his friends. 234 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:11.480 Yeah. So, I mean, And the thing about about the 235 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.240 whole thing is Jesus died on the cross, and at 236 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:23.080 the end of his time on the cross, he said, Lord, 237 00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:25.799 why have you or Father, why have you forsaken me? 238 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:33.399 I mean, he felt almost he knew he had to 239 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:39.399 and he felt almost betrayed a little bit because he 240 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:40.720 had to go through with it. 241 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:43.159 Well, you know, I always thought with that, you know 242 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:45.320 what I mean, Yeah, it was you know they say 243 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.200 God cannot be around sin. At this point that Jesus 244 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.840 actually was out sin. So he took all the world, 245 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:52.639 so he got cut from the Father. 246 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:55.200 Well, he couldn't look at them exactly, he couldn't be 247 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.720 around them. So that's why have you? Why have you? 248 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:02.679 Almost I mean, obviously we're we're all humans, and we're 249 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.480 taking this as a human would take it. You know, 250 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:09.639 we're not Jesus or God. It's almost like, why why 251 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.039 did you turn away? When I needed you the most? 252 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:14.759 I took all this sin on me and you turned away. 253 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.960 That's that's the way I feel like, when I needed 254 00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:24.840 I took all the pain, the suffering, everything, and then 255 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:26.840 you weren't there. 256 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.720 Well, he was always in total communication with. 257 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:31.039 The pallet of course. 258 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:34.080 Yeah. So Jesus, that's one thing we tend to forget 259 00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:38.000 is that he was fully divine, but at the same 260 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:39.279 time he was fully human. 261 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:45.000 Yeah, he was still human. And therefore if he if 262 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:47.840 he paid for our sin. 263 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:52.080 What he did he said at the end, he said 264 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.480 it is finished. Yeah, and he said and the veil 265 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:56.679 was torn from top to bond. 266 00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.360 I'll get to that. 267 00:15:57.559 --> 00:15:59.200 Yeah, But one thing I want to say before we 268 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:00.559 get started. I just got a few of the Old 269 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:02.759 Testament stuff at the points that started. Yeah, we're just 270 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:05.360 now getting their toes with we just we just now 271 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:08.559 got a tip of the shovel in, but I'm not 272 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:12.240 gonna lie. When I started this, it was kind of 273 00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:16.720 to prove a point because I see a lot of Christians, 274 00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:18.559 you know that that well, I would say a lot, 275 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.039 but there's you know, some Christians that hold too that 276 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:24.879 the Law is not dead, and especially Jewish people. So 277 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.000 to me it was like I wanted to prove a point, 278 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:27.919 you know. 279 00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:28.440 Yeah. 280 00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:30.519 And then once I started, I was so humbled. I 281 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:32.679 mean I was brought to tears the other night reading 282 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:35.159 this because I actually seen all this from a new 283 00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:38.399 perspective for the first time. Right, it humbled me to 284 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:41.720 my core. I thought that I was supposed to. I 285 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.639 wouldn't obligated the follow the law, you know, I knew that, 286 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.519 but it was like I wanted to do that to 287 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:51.559 be a better imager of God. 288 00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:53.480 Right, okay, which is the whole purpose. 289 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:56.200 And then when I got to studying and reading into 290 00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.399 these things, it humbled me to my core. It made 291 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:05.200 me feel how flawed and imperfect of a person that 292 00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:08.759 I am. But I'm still giving this gift freely. I 293 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.480 don't deserve it. There's nothing I could do to ever 294 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:14.920 earn it, but it's given to me, and it did 295 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:24.079 man it touched me, and I know, I know now 296 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:28.200 what Isaiah was talking about about softening the heart and 297 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:34.319 writing on your heart, because there's nothing legalistic about it. 298 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:39.400 I want to do these things to please my heavenly father, 299 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:44.599 who gives me the gifts that I know that I 300 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:45.759 can never earn on my own. 301 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:49.640 Yeah, and it did. 302 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:50.559 Man, it just humble me. 303 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:52.160 Yeah, you got me out of it. 304 00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:56.000 Where's the tissues we don't have? 305 00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:04.599 We're men here. Yeah, it says like you're thinking, But. 306 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.519 It's crazy though, Like how the Old Testament all points 307 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.920 that way, right, you know. Deuteronomy chapter thirty, verse six, 308 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.519 it says, and the Lord your God will circumcise your 309 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:20.000 heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you 310 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:22.519 will love the Lord your God with all your heart 311 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.720 and with all your soul, that you may live. You know, 312 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:31.799 First Samuel chapter fifteen, verse twenty two. To obey is 313 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:35.799 better than sacrifice. You know, this is all Old Testament 314 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:39.279 when they were under the law. Psalms chapter forty, verse 315 00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:43.799 six through eight. In sacrifice and offering, you have no delight, 316 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.359 but you have given me an open ear, burnt offerings 317 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.240 and sin offerings you have not required. Then I said, 318 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.119 behold I have come. In the scroll of the book. 319 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.680 It is written of me. I delight to do your will. 320 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:05.799 Oh my God, Your law is within my heart, you know. 321 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:10.440 And I got three more Ezekiel chapter eleven, verse nineteen. 322 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:16.640 I will give them a new heart and a new spirit, 323 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:23.079 which is the Holy Spirit, the Helper will put within them. 324 00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:25.920 So even in Ezekiel Old Testament, they were talking about 325 00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.480 the coming of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. You know, 326 00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:32.200 Ezekiel chapter thirty six, verse twenty six. It's about you know. 327 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:36.279 It's the repeated line from Ezekiel, just more emphasis added 328 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.759 to it, you know. And then the last one I 329 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:45.680 got Jeremiah, and Jeremiah chapter thirty one, verse thirty three. 330 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:50.240 It says, for this is the covenant that I will 331 00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:53.599 make with the House of Israel after those days, declares 332 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:57.160 to the Lord. I will put my law within them, 333 00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.839 and I will write in on their hearts, and I 334 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.359 will be their God, and they shall be my people. 335 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:06.799 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and 336 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.359 each his brother, saying, know the Lord, for they shall 337 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:14.599 all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, 338 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:17.680 declares to the Lord, For I will forgive their iniquity, 339 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:25.279 and I will remember their sin no more. Now you're 340 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:26.039 gonna get into. 341 00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:31.079 Your Yeah, looking at the Book of Galatians, which the 342 00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:37.119 entire book of Galatians is about the old law. So 343 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:43.000 Paul went to would you call it Galicia? Yeah, which 344 00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:49.000 they're saying, which is like modern day Iraq area, which 345 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:52.119 I've been there, and them what you told me in 346 00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.720 the text of that's important about the whole background of 347 00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.720 why he was writing the letter. 348 00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:01.480 You remember that video, Okay? What was going on behind 349 00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:02.920 his back? That why he fell he. 350 00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:10.680 So, so Paul went to Galatia and founded this church. 351 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.559 Then he did it what they call him a tour whatever. 352 00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.680 He he went a bunch of different places, and then 353 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.960 he went the same route again, or at least through 354 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:29.119 Galatia again. And then I think he was he in 355 00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:31.079 Rome when he wrote this. I can't remember. 356 00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:31.960 I can't. 357 00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:36.039 He wasn't he wasn't there, Yeah, he wasn't there. So 358 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:40.640 he wrote him a letter. Okay. So Paul addresses a 359 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.359 problem with a group of people that's in this church 360 00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:51.039 of Galatia, so the people of Galatians, and he calls 361 00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:55.160 him a judaizer. Judaer is a person who believes you 362 00:21:55.200 --> 00:22:00.480 are saved through Jesus Christ, but is very legalistic, still 363 00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:06.160 has their Jewish backgrounds, so they were probably Jewish, and 364 00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:10.880 this is obviously in Gentile territory, but some Jewish people 365 00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:16.359 are there. So they're in the church spreading their little 366 00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:23.640 their little gossips and trying to turn the people with 367 00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:25.759 thou like a word against Paul. 368 00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:27.839 Kind of thing, and he don't have it all figured 369 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.400 out right. Yeah, so he's only got half of it right. 370 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:36.519 So let's see here, very Jewish background believes to the 371 00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:38.920 only way to be right with God is to come 372 00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:44.200 through Jesus, but also have to follow Jewish law, which 373 00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:49.240 is keeping all the laws, the holidays, the festivals, pretty 374 00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:54.400 much everything the Old Testament teaches. But also you have 375 00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:55.599 to have faith in Christ. 376 00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.440 So like Christ wouldn't enough. 377 00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:02.400 Yeah, yeah, Christ, you have to believe that Jesus was 378 00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:05.480 died on the cross, but you still have to do 379 00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:11.319 all these other works. So is so obviously if you 380 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:14.680 have a gift but still work. 381 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:17.799 For it, it's no longer a gift, no longer a gift. 382 00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:21.039 And I got a story here later, you know, kind 383 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:27.119 of to go more into that. But so Paul's addressing 384 00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.559 these judaizers and they're telling people that Jesus is not enough, 385 00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:35.759 that they also need you as law. Let's see here 386 00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:38.799 and what chapters stuff you end up? 387 00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:42.799 Well, okay, so this is Galatians. This is so Galatians 388 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:45.559 is kind of split up in three different sections. If 389 00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:52.160 there's six chapters, so pretty much the first chapters one 390 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.279 and two is is personal. He's pretty much defending himself. 391 00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:59.079 You know, this is what all I've done, This is 392 00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.400 what I've went through and stuff like that. Then chapter 393 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:09.640 three and four is more uh doc doctornntle Oh gosh, 394 00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:10.319 what's that word? 395 00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:11.759 Doctrine? More about the. 396 00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:15.720 Yeah, yeah, doctrine and then five chapters five and six 397 00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:20.799 is more practical. It kind of gives more explanation, I guess. 398 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.599 And I'm just gonna basically let Paul tell you because 399 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:30.319 he he does it pretty good. But uh so I 400 00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:33.960 wrote here, is it just Jesus or do we have 401 00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:36.839
