Speaker 1: Welcome Just hind Away Tagalog Sermon Podcast, your daily dose
Speaker 1: of inspiring from heartfelt tagalog sermons from different pastors and
Speaker 1: speakers all over the Philippines.
Speaker 2: We hope that this podcast finds you in good shape.
Speaker 2: And now here's your message.
Speaker 3: You're listening to a podcast from Victory. The Bible has
Speaker 3: written so that its teachings can be understood by all
Speaker 3: who will read it as they seek God's help. Learn
Speaker 3: more about this truth in week seven of our series Wordview.
Speaker 1: Deuteronomy Chapter thirty, verses eleven to fourteen. Deuteronomy thirty versus
Speaker 1: eleven to fourteen. Now, verse eleven says, now what I
Speaker 1: am commanding you today? Okay, not yesterday, but today. It's
Speaker 1: not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. It
Speaker 1: is not up in heaven so that you have to
Speaker 1: ask who will ascend into heaven and get it and
Speaker 1: proclaim it to us so that we may obeate.
Speaker 2: Or nor is it beyond the sea.
Speaker 1: So that you can say, who will cross the sea
Speaker 1: and proclaim it to us so that we may obey. No,
Speaker 1: the word is very near you. It is in your
Speaker 1: mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey.
Speaker 1: Let's pray, Father, I ask that you would bless the
Speaker 1: preaching of your word. But I pray, Holy Spirit, that
Speaker 1: you would illumine our hearts and our minds. Thank you
Speaker 1: that it is not far away, it is very near.
Speaker 1: I pray that you would clarify your word to us,
Speaker 1: so that, just like Moses said, so that we may obate.
Speaker 2: This is my prayer in Jesus name.
Speaker 1: Amen. All right, Very briefly, a brief background of this scripture.
Speaker 1: This was actually a time when the Israelites were about
Speaker 1: to cross over Cana and the Promised Land. Okay, they
Speaker 1: spent forty years in the desert. Now the people that
Speaker 1: Moses were addressing was a whole new generation. A whole
Speaker 1: generation died in the wilderness forty years. So Ivan Alam said,
Speaker 1: Joshua's a Caleb, and of course mosesn't do so. All
Speaker 1: the rest were probably millennials and younger twenty years or younger.
Speaker 1: So he was reintroducing God's Covenant document, God's Covenant rules,
Speaker 1: God's laws. In fact, the court commandment means law the
Speaker 1: things that I command you talking about the scriptures, talking
Speaker 1: about God's covenant relationship revealed through this because this Bible, okay,
Speaker 1: is not just a text. It's actually what God revealed
Speaker 1: to us of how we can relate with him. Because
Speaker 1: any relationship, you know, you need to know how to
Speaker 1: relate with one another. Right, and this is how God
Speaker 1: told his people we ought to relate with him, whether
Speaker 1: it's in worship, giving, in all the life of covenant relationship.
Speaker 2: And from this text.
Speaker 1: From this text, we can see that the Bible is revealed.
Speaker 1: Number one, God reveals his word. That God's word is near.
Speaker 1: Say that to your seeing Nate, God's word is near. Hindi,
Speaker 1: Thou sham alayo versus legges. Now, what I am commanding
Speaker 1: you today is not too difficult, Hindi, Mahira, simply land.
Speaker 1: The Bible is so simple. What can be complicated with?
Speaker 1: Thou shalt not steal? Right, it's not complicated. It's simple, easy, simple, Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: that shall not steal Sabini Moses, it is not beyond
Speaker 1: your reach. Now, when Moses talks about beyond your reach,
Speaker 1: is not talking about a physical distance here, but he
Speaker 1: was talking about intellectual accessibility or capacity. In other words, Indi,
Speaker 1: Sabina hindim allayud I don't know if you've you've talked
Speaker 1: to some people. Now puck in anong meadure of tangent,
Speaker 1: you massa good, okay. I mean, of course, if you
Speaker 1: have some mental disorder, maybe sometimes that happens, right, But
Speaker 1: then it comes to gonna Mount Everest, you're gonna lie you.
Speaker 1: I mean, although some people sobram off tangent, what Moses
Speaker 1: is saying is the Bible is not so off tangent.
Speaker 1: Now you know, hindimum a grasp, that's what he's saying.
Speaker 1: Beyond it's not beyond your reach. Okay, it's simple, you
Speaker 1: can grasp it.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Other words, how can you not grasp when God tells
Speaker 1: us thou shalt not covet It's simple, it's within our reach.
Speaker 1: And that's why he continues, it's not up in heaven. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not up in heaven. That you may you have
Speaker 1: to ask who will go there and explain it, who
Speaker 1: will go there and proclaim it to us? You know,
Speaker 1: during that time, they didn't have any planes or rocket ships, right,
Speaker 1: I mean for them the heavens or the first heavens,
Speaker 1: So the heavenly the heaven lists, which is you're okay
Speaker 1: with our eye, you man, stars the moon, it was
Speaker 1: beyond the reach. So what Moses say, You know, it's
Speaker 1: not like you have to go up there and you know,
Speaker 1: get a rocket ship. Although we love a rocket ship,
Speaker 1: it's not really accessible.
Speaker 2: It's not that now, nor is it beyond the sea.
Speaker 1: I guess even even you may bargaon on okay, while
Speaker 1: a Bayomana mana luxury cruise liners that go around the
Speaker 1: world with all these high tech things. I mean part
Speaker 1: of my amusement partner. I don't know if you've I
Speaker 1: saw some a documentarylass, but it's there's.
Speaker 2: They don't have anything like that.
Speaker 1: You cannot go all and circumnavigate the world and all
Speaker 1: of these things.
Speaker 2: You don't have to go that far. You say that
Speaker 2: it's not concealed the Bible.
Speaker 1: A boot Okay, it's not too far away that you
Speaker 1: can't lay hold of it for yourself. It's not rocket science,
Speaker 1: that's what in modern day language, it's not rocket science.
Speaker 1: How many of you know that If you if the
Speaker 1: Bible is like rocket science, well definitely we cannot understand it. Right.
Speaker 1: I remember this physics professor, he has a PhD, and
Speaker 1: he was he was going to have a tour talking
Speaker 1: about Quang physics quantum mechanics in the academ several schools
Speaker 1: and several institutions talking about this new theories on quantum
Speaker 1: physics and quantum mechanics. So every day, for two straight weeks,
Speaker 1: every night, for three to four hours, he would conduct
Speaker 1: a lecture and every night pan lecturing Ama the brightest
Speaker 1: of the bright Samanasa physics.
Speaker 2: So he'd go there give his lecture, of course, a
Speaker 2: physics teacher.
Speaker 1: Lecture. So after one week of every night Nagli lecturer, Shah, Driver,
Speaker 1: I don't think i can go to this next you know,
Speaker 1: lecture because I'm feeling sick. Maybe I'll take a break,
Speaker 1: to which Sabin and driver Sir, I don't you know
Speaker 1: you don't have to take a break. Huh. You know
Speaker 1: I've been listening to you every night for the whole week,
Speaker 1: and I can do your lectures, even your hat. I
Speaker 1: have memorized that. Okay, so you don't have So I'll
Speaker 1: let's switch roles.
Speaker 2: I'll be the physics professor. You will be the chauffeur.
Speaker 1: Okay. Sure. When he goes to the lecture hall, so
Speaker 1: he began to the lecture coul he got everything perfectly.
Speaker 1: The mannerism they he observed and sow. After the lecture
Speaker 1: three hour lectur, yay. And then he was about to
Speaker 1: get off the stage, and suddenly there are a lot
Speaker 1: of hands raised questions, and so he pointed to one person,
Speaker 1: and this person began to ask this complicated question about
Speaker 1: quantum physics, into which he said, is.
Speaker 2: That your question?
Speaker 1: That question is so simple that even my driver could
Speaker 1: answer it. Come on here, can you answer that? And
Speaker 1: he goes off the stage. I mean, you know, if
Speaker 1: it's rocket science, it's hard. For example, let me do
Speaker 1: it practically. I want you to you have a partner,
Speaker 1: your seat mate, right, I want you to explain, within
Speaker 1: thirty seconds to your seat mate, Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Speaker 1: Anyone here can do it in thirty seconds to begin
Speaker 1: on premio nepastor Ryan. We can't write it's rocket science.
Speaker 1: It's complicated. But again, to your seat mate, can you
Speaker 1: share with your seat mate? Okay, God's greatest commandment go
Speaker 1: for God so loved the world. It's not rocket science.
Speaker 1: It's simple. It's near. It's near us. That's what worse
Speaker 1: force ys, the world of God is very near you.
Speaker 1: How near it's in your mouth, how near it's in
Speaker 1: your heart so that you may obey it. So that
Speaker 1: you may obey it. It's near our mouths so that
Speaker 1: we can talk about it to our friends, to our classmates,
Speaker 1: to our officemates. Right, it's near so that we can
Speaker 1: talk about it. But the question are you talking about
Speaker 1: it with your friends, with your classmates, with your office mats?
Speaker 1: Simple like mom money? But are we doing it? It's
Speaker 1: so near that it's in our heart so that we
Speaker 1: may obey it. The reason why we want to know
Speaker 1: and understand God's word so that we can obey God.
Speaker 1: That's the bottom line. This is not a display in
Speaker 1: your living room. Right, This is not supposed to be
Speaker 1: a display in your living room. Holy Bible, it's so
Speaker 1: holy that you cannot touch it. No, it's meant for
Speaker 1: us to be near our hearts and our mouths so
Speaker 1: that we can obey it. Why. Because if truth is near,
Speaker 1: obedience is expected. If truth is near, obedience is expected.
Speaker 1: If it's not clear, how can you obey it? Application
Speaker 1: is possible because scripture is accessible. We can apply it
Speaker 1: because it's so near us.
Speaker 2: It's so accessible. It's so simple.
Speaker 1: God's word is near. But not only that God's.
Speaker 2: Word is clear, say that to your seat mate.
Speaker 1: God's word is clear. Now if we push back a little, okay,
Speaker 1: if we go back a little.
Speaker 2: Moses gave this.
Speaker 1: Commandment in Deuteronomy chapter six, which is one of the
Speaker 1: most famous commandments. Deuteronomy chapter six, verse six to seven, Sabaa,
Speaker 1: These commandments that I give you today are to be
Speaker 1: on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about
Speaker 1: them when you sit at home, Okay, when you walk
Speaker 1: along the road, when you lie down, when you get
Speaker 1: up latlan, but tagisimo patulukmo bagla laga, everywhere you go,
Speaker 1: you talk about it. Wow, this is to be a lifestyle.
Speaker 1: The scripture, the Bible is supposed to be part of
Speaker 1: our life. But what's in here is Abiah. Impress them
Speaker 1: on your children, talk to them. You don't need to
Speaker 1: wait for your children to have a degree in order
Speaker 1: to engage them with God's word.
Speaker 2: Even as little as they are.
Speaker 1: You can do it already.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The public reading of the scripture was very, very common.
Speaker 1: The scripture was read over and over again. That's why
Speaker 1: the culture and tradition of Israel was preserved. Because orally
Speaker 1: in tradition in La they would publicly speak of God's
Speaker 1: word of this of what God did for Israel. Okay,
Speaker 1: public reading of scripture. It was meant for the people
Speaker 1: to hear, all of the people to hear the word
Speaker 1: of the Lord, not just for the intellectual elite. Okay.
Speaker 1: In fact, if you go to Nayemiah chapter eight, verses
Speaker 1: one to three, remember when Israel was exiled to Babylon
Speaker 1: for seventy years, and then when they came back by
Speaker 1: God's sovereign hand. Okay, I think nothing in the last time.
Speaker 1: When they came.
Speaker 2: Back, Ezra, who was the priestident, gathered.
Speaker 1: All the people, all the men and women of Israel
Speaker 1: during that time.
Speaker 2: And he began to read the word of God.
Speaker 1: It says there from dawn till noonday, the public reading
Speaker 1: of scriptures, not on the pastor Ryan pan, going from
Speaker 1: non dawn till noonday. And they made upon Sara visit
Speaker 1: within Elam. Okay. So, but imagine it's a public reading
Speaker 1: so that they could understand what God was saying, so
Speaker 1: that they could be reminded of what God had done
Speaker 1: for them, Remember they were in exile. In fact, when
Speaker 1: Paul was writing his epistles, his letters to the different church.
Speaker 2: It was called a circuit letter.
Speaker 1: It was meant to be read aloud to the synagogue
Speaker 1: or to the church, and then for the people got
Speaker 1: to make copies and to share it to the other,
Speaker 1: their relatives or their friends, their oi, cause there's fear
Speaker 1: of relationship.
Speaker 2: Okay, So it's not just okay t Lanta. In fact,
Speaker 2: let me show you one.
Speaker 1: Particular text of his epistle in Ephesians chapter six.
Speaker 2: You know this.
Speaker 1: It's a quotation from the Ten Commandments Ephesian six, verse
Speaker 1: one to three. Children, obey your parents in the Lord,
Speaker 1: for this is right. Honor your father and mother. This
Speaker 1: is the first commandment where they promise that it may
Speaker 1: go well with you and that you may live long
Speaker 1: in the land. Know this. Paul did not say parents,
Speaker 1: tell your children to obey you in the Lord. He
Speaker 1: wrote children. He was addressing the children, children and talking
Speaker 1: to you, obey your parents in the Lord.
Speaker 2: Because Bible is so.
Speaker 1: Plain and clear and near children can understand. And I
Speaker 1: remember when my own children, Okay, I asked that we
Speaker 1: we of course, umpisa, we asked them to read the Bible,
Speaker 1: some simula, some picture, your mamma, my mamma, pictures and
Speaker 1: all of that. Right, But I remember as we continue
Speaker 1: to engage them with God's word. You know, Danny, my eldest,
Speaker 1: when he was four years old, he began to have
Speaker 1: a he began to question some things. At that time.
Speaker 1: With four years olds, she could not really read, but
Speaker 1: we were impressing the.
Speaker 2: Bible to her.
Speaker 1: And one night she asked us that why is it
Speaker 1: that I want to obey you? But it's hard because
Speaker 1: sometimes I boss my you know, boss around you. Oh,
Speaker 1: then we explain the scripture, we explain the gospel, we explain.
Speaker 1: At four years old, she gave her life to Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: And my youngest Luigius now nine years old. Last starting
Speaker 1: last year, Sabian, Mom, can I use another Bible because
Speaker 1: other illustrated Bibles? Can I use what he calls the
Speaker 1: big Bible? I mean the one you're using the ESB
Speaker 1: Bible to read? Okay instead of that? Because you know,
Speaker 1: as he continued to engage, he understanding rue. So even
Speaker 1: at eight years old he is nine now, this was
Speaker 1: last year, he began to read what we're reading right now.
Speaker 1: Your children can do it. You know. My third my
Speaker 1: son Si John, when he three years ago and he
Speaker 1: was eleven, Okay, in their school, they were asked to
Speaker 1: memorize Hebrew's chapter eleven. The entire chapter at eleven is
Speaker 1: a class Mila sa Hebrews Chapter eleven. Imagine that. That's
Speaker 1: why I challenge myself. Okay, this year I'm gonna memorize
Speaker 1: some chapter one hundred and nineteen, but thinking one seventy verses.
Speaker 1: But I'm just one third of the way. But anyway,
Speaker 1: memorization of scripture is just one aspect. I mean there's reading,
Speaker 1: there's there's memorizing, meditating. I mean, all of that is
Speaker 1: important because this is life unto us. You know how
Speaker 1: the Bible describes itself. These are spirit and life to us.
Speaker 1: This is important. Now you know the problem why people
Speaker 1: don't read the Bible. It's not because it isn't clear.
Speaker 1: The problem why people don't read the Bible is precisely
Speaker 1: because it's so clear and it's so simple. Because if
Speaker 1: they read it, they'll be accountable. Because if you read this,
Speaker 1: thou shall not steal, Thou shalt not gay murder, or
Speaker 1: Jesus put it be angry in your heart, that's murder.
Speaker 1: If we read this, it exposes things in our hearts.
Speaker 1: You know, Thesami said in some one nineteen that the
Speaker 1: bord of God is a lamp and a light unto us.
Speaker 1: Peter actually echoes this in Tecod Peter one, verse nineteen,
Speaker 1: when it says, the prophecy of Scripture is like a
Speaker 1: shining light in the midst of darkness.
Speaker 2: See this Bible.
Speaker 1: It shines, it puts, it puts light. Okay, it becomes
Speaker 1: a beacon of light, not just to reveal the darkness
Speaker 1: around us, but to reveal the darkness inside of us,
Speaker 1: in our hearts, in our souls. It reveals the greed,
Speaker 1: the unforgiveness, the lusts, and all the other things that
Speaker 1: in our hearts. That's why people don't want to read
Speaker 1: this word. See the law is perfect. The law is perfect.
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with the Word of God. But there's
Speaker 1: something wrong with our hearts. I want you to closure
Speaker 1: eyes very quickly. Close your eyes. Imagine there's an intensity
Speaker 1: twelve earthquake in this room. It's pitch black. There's only
Speaker 1: one exit door, and it's not to your left. It's
Speaker 1: somewhere in this room, but you don't know where. You're
Speaker 1: not familiar. It's pitch black. There's only one way out,
Speaker 1: one exit, one way to be saved. You don't know
Speaker 1: where to go. The word of God is like a
Speaker 1: flashlight that's going to be given to you, point you
Speaker 1: to the way out. You can open your eyes.
Speaker 2: You see.
Speaker 1: The Law was that beacon of life to point you
Speaker 1: to the door, which is Jesus Christ. Jesus said, I
Speaker 1: am the gate, I am the door, I am the way.
Speaker 1: This Bible was a tutor to point us to Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: This revelation of God is to point us to redemption.
Speaker 1: The Bible, which is perfect, the written word of God,
Speaker 1: is supposed to point us to the living word of God.
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Let me read very quickly. Is the Romans
Speaker 1: Chapter seven says in Romans Chapter seven, Verse one of
Speaker 1: thetis to make this point, do you not know, brothers,
Speaker 1: For I'm speaking to those who know the Lord. The
Speaker 1: law binding on a person only as long as he lives.
Speaker 1: For a married woman is bound by law to her
Speaker 1: husband while he lives, but if her husband dies, she
Speaker 1: is released from the law of marriage. Accordingly, she will
Speaker 1: be called an adult rest if she lives with another
Speaker 1: man while her husband is alive, but if her husband dies,
Speaker 1: she is free from the law. And if she marries
Speaker 1: another man, she is not an adulter rist. Okay, So
Speaker 1: what is Paul talking about here? He is actually alluding
Speaker 1: to the church, to us God's people. We are the wife,
Speaker 1: we are married, okay, to the law. Now a look
Speaker 1: of Valentine's da, I mean Valentines. So let me ask
Speaker 1: cynidite young single ladies, single ladies in the house a
Speaker 1: lamb very quickly condolam, sorry, I'm a lap it. Can
Speaker 1: you stand up? What's your name? Hi? How do you? Okay? No,
Speaker 1: Mike cherry Lyn, chary Lyne, cherry Lyne. Hello, there you go,
Speaker 1: all right, so see me chary line. Can you tell
Speaker 1: us a new young you list mon ideal husband more? Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll prompt you, for example, in terms of looks at
Speaker 1: youra sur face, see ideal? Okay, it's okay, pa safe
Speaker 1: if you had a list right or see on.
Speaker 4: Our lab specific nada CAUs s what I'm bringing? WILLI
Speaker 4: lord in your your physical appearance? It's just a bonus along.
Speaker 1: But then Lord an e bonus? What's your answer?
Speaker 2: What if? Okay? Sure?
Speaker 1: Parents is all am, I'll give you wisdom. But the
Speaker 1: other things what are the other things? The looks cigurable
Speaker 1: sabotage sabotage, yeah, sigurable omna right now Korea whatever.
Speaker 4: In line with my la.
Speaker 2: Specific okay lake in Korea.
Speaker 4: Cigurubo or most of them see lemon ga ladies.
Speaker 1: All right, okay, how about the physique, Sabi lord, we
Speaker 1: began choice physic young physical Yeah, because young some someone like,
Speaker 1: can you take Samson? Do you know that Samson? Indeed
Speaker 1: madom physically fifth the Bible says he was strong and
Speaker 1: people were wondering why he was strong anyway, okay, so
Speaker 1: when he needs a Samson, then you you very spiritual,
Speaker 1: very you know, no more indicator judge okay, the people
Speaker 1: will judge.
Speaker 2: Heard you ba normal. How about intellect?
Speaker 4: A very intellectual smart in terms of human educational on
Speaker 4: a backgrounds is in line with gods smart mming alarm
Speaker 4: with gods.
Speaker 1: They're given an iron, given a young o. All kay,
Speaker 1: start working, okay, so someone we are giving that SPIRITU
Speaker 1: Walsh loves God loves and know so in terms of intellect,
Speaker 1: but you know my here I mean I did.
Speaker 2: S are you more more?
Speaker 1: And with H. C. Bas Nickson pastor and pastor Dannis
Speaker 1: and this is called mayaman Canino yama envision.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much Cherylyn, What if God will give her?
Speaker 1: Are you an im alista that perfect person? Yeah, that
Speaker 1: looks like the pape And then physic Nino Samson, Right,
Speaker 1: Casino Nino, Let's say see another La see Einstein, and
Speaker 1: then Cassing funny pastor Nixon, and then Cayamanino chin kitan
Speaker 1: all right, but godly there was album of godly spiritual
Speaker 1: italy indeed and godly and spiritual perfect. Oh, he would
Speaker 1: always be perfect in terms of God's God's will and
Speaker 1: God's law you knew in you. But the side issue
Speaker 1: there is He's so perfect indition aka kamalay and every
Speaker 1: time the man talian a ka kamala, it will be noticed.
Speaker 1: He never makes a mistake. The inside issue being married
Speaker 1: to someone perfect right indition kamala perfect battalio better perfectly God.
Speaker 1: But every time we make a mistake, small or big,
Speaker 1: it will be obvious and it will be stated every
Speaker 1: single day La malampa malin salita malingaamo, it will be revealed.
Speaker 1: You imagine that living like that, we will live lives
Speaker 1: that are condemned. No, maally, you want to be married
Speaker 1: to a perfect person. Again, That's exactly what Paul is
Speaker 1: saying here, this law is perfect. We're married to this,
Speaker 1: and every time we relate to this, it will point
Speaker 1: out the bad things. It will point out the darkness
Speaker 1: inside of us. It's like a shining light. Ops malayu
Speaker 1: in mo ops malayusin abimo, opps malayan gamo, and he
Speaker 1: would always be right right. So we have a problem,
Speaker 1: a dilemma. We are bound to live with this person
Speaker 1: all our lives, but if her husband dies, she is
Speaker 1: released from the law of marriage. But if not, we
Speaker 1: will be called an adulterer. Now there's only one problem.
Speaker 1: The Bible is not only perfect, it is also eternal.
Speaker 1: It will never pass away. So what's the solution. The
Speaker 1: solution is found in verse four. Likewise, my brother, you
Speaker 1: also have died to the law, to the body of
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. It's not the law who will die, it's us.
Speaker 1: We will die through the body of Jesus Christ, so
Speaker 1: that we may belong to another, to him who has
Speaker 1: been raised from the dead. Listen as I wrap this up.
Speaker 1: This written word, this written revelation of God points us
Speaker 1: to the living Word of God, Jesus Christ, and the
Speaker 1: interplay interaction of both. They are distinct but separate the
Speaker 1: written word was revelation that points to redemption. They tell
Speaker 1: us something about the nature of sin, the way to
Speaker 1: be saved, the character of God. This is not meant
Speaker 1: to make you smartyr, It's meant.
Speaker 2: To get you saved.
Speaker 1: Redemption, revelation redeems and redemption reveals. And Jesus Christ is
Speaker 1: the full expression of both. Jesus Christ is the full
Speaker 1: expression of both. Christ is God's full and final app
Speaker 1: or redemption and God's full and final revelation of himself. Listen,
Speaker 1: not close. As I've said, scripture perplexity. Scripture is clear.
Speaker 1: Scripture is near. It is plain to our understanding. It
Speaker 1: is a light to our path. The Bible is for
Speaker 1: all of us. It's for everyone, not just for a
Speaker 1: few people. As someone said, it's like it can be
Speaker 1: both a brook by which lambs can drink, but it's
Speaker 1: also an ocean where elephants may drown. It's so simple
Speaker 1: that children can read it, but it's so vast and
Speaker 1: wide that it is inexhaustible, as God is. That's why
Speaker 1: let me encourage you read this. This is God's gift
Speaker 1: to us so that we can know him. Read it,
Speaker 1: memorize it, meditate, study, obey it. Josu said, if we
Speaker 1: do that, prosperity and success, they'll mark your life. Now,
Speaker 1: final thing with that lens of the living word and
Speaker 1: the written word about revelation and redemption. With that lens.
Speaker 1: Let's go back to what we read from the beginning,
Speaker 1: our original text in deuteronim thirty. This time I want
Speaker 1: us to see the lens of Paul as he wrote
Speaker 1: this very quickly. Romance chapter ten, verse five says, for
Speaker 1: Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law,
Speaker 1: that the person who does the commandment shall live by them.
Speaker 1: But the righteousness based on faith, says again this is
Speaker 1: he quotes Moses. Deuteronomy is thirty. Do not say in
Speaker 1: your heart, who will ascend it to heaven, that is
Speaker 1: to bring Christ down. It's not the scripture, it's not
Speaker 1: the written it's the living word, or who will descend
Speaker 1: in to the abyss, that is to bring Christ up
Speaker 1: from the dead. But what does it say?
Speaker 2: The Word is near you in your mouth and in
Speaker 2: your heart.
Speaker 1: Us. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord,
Speaker 1: and believe in your heart that God raised him from
Speaker 1: the dead, you will be saved.
