0:00:00.000,0:00:05.441
Welcome to Lesson 5 of the Kingdom school.[br]I'm very excited to be with you.

0:00:05.441,0:00:08.332
I think that this lesson [br]will bless you a lot.

0:00:08.332,0:00:10.829
Some of you will experience [br]freedom today.

0:00:10.829,0:00:15.084
Some of you will have never [br]heard this before.

0:00:15.084,0:00:18.438
But I know some people will have [br]an issue with what I'm sharing.

0:00:18.438,0:00:23.500
But please bear with me. You’ll see [br]that these things are actually biblical.

0:00:23.500,0:00:33.336
Let’s start. I hope you're ready. [br]Lesson 4 was called: ‘Saved out of Egypt:

0:00:33.336,0:00:37.346
Our journey of salvation.’ [br]I love that lesson.

0:00:37.346,0:00:43.006
I want to start now by reading [br]this beautiful feedback:

0:00:43.006,0:00:47.353
A man wrote here: ‘Brother Torben![br]I'm 72 years old.

0:00:47.353,0:00:52.572
This is the first time I've heard [br]the Full Gospel message like this:

0:00:52.572,0:00:57.841
Preached out of the Old Testament. [br]That is such a great teaching.

0:00:57.841,0:01:01.810
The Church needs to hear it, [br]even more than the lost.’

0:01:01.810,0:01:05.100
So, this man is 72 years old.

0:01:05.100,0:01:12.555
This was the first time he’s heard the [br]gospel preached out of the Old Testament.

0:01:12.555,0:01:19.123
This comment really affected me. I [br]experienced the same thing in jail.

0:01:19.123,0:01:25.169
God revealed it to me in a new way: the [br]gospel in the Old and New Testaments.

0:01:25.169,0:01:30.891
The gospel of the Kingdom. [br]Much of this was new for me.

0:01:30.891,0:01:37.830
This is what the church needs. God [br]brought me to jail to reveal this to me.

0:01:37.830,0:01:42.560
So I get extremely excited [br]when I receive a comment like this.

0:01:42.560,0:01:48.534
The first four lessons:

0:01:48.534,0:01:51.552
Lesson 1: The Beginning of Eden [br]to the new Heaven and Earth:

0:01:51.552,0:01:56.519
The Fall, Noah, and the Flood.

0:01:56.519,0:01:59.840
Lesson 2: Abraham Our Father:

0:01:59.840,0:02:05.875
This happened after the fall, [br]wickedness and destruction.

0:02:05.875,0:02:12.807
How God desired a people who are [br]His, beginning with Abraham.

0:02:12.807,0:02:19.591
He is the father of Faith - a man had [br]a family that later became a nation.

0:02:19.591,0:02:25.277
Lesson 3: I explained how that [br]nation was called out of Egypt.

0:02:25.277,0:02:27.208
Likewise, we are called out of Babylon.

0:02:27.208,0:02:33.247
It was called: ‘Called out of Egypt’: How [br]that nation was called out from Egypt.

0:02:33.247,0:02:37.419
How we today are called [br]out to be the Church.

0:02:37.419,0:02:41.270
We are set apart as God's holy people.

0:02:41.270,0:02:47.637
I love that lesson. I want to start [br]with a personal testimony.

0:02:47.637,0:02:53.551
Last week, my daughter Simone got married.

0:02:53.551,0:03:01.819
Here’s a picture of the area just outside [br]this studio. I'm standing there, smiling.

0:03:01.819,0:03:07.820
Simone and Joshua have just said “Yes” [br]to each other. They were so excited.

0:03:07.820,0:03:18.324
This wedding, this past week, [br]is the strongest picture for me of this:

0:03:18.324,0:03:24.997
The church is those who are called out. [br]They are holy and separated.

0:03:24.997,0:03:32.566
This wedding was holy and so beautiful.

0:03:32.566,0:03:36.545
The fear of God was there [br]in a beautiful way.

0:03:36.545,0:03:45.346
What happened just [br]a few hours before this?

0:03:45.346,0:03:51.695
I saw my daughter Simone in her [br]wedding dress for the first time.

0:03:51.695,0:03:56.483
Her hair was done. She had makeup on [br]and everything. It was so, so beautiful.

0:03:56.483,0:04:03.955
Here is a one-minute video of my reaction.

0:04:03.955,0:04:08.475
For the first time I saw my daughter [br]standing in the beautiful wedding dress.

0:04:08.475,0:04:16.037
My reaction surprised me. [br]I really broke down.

0:04:16.037,0:04:20.197
I want to show you this clip [br]and then will continue talking it.

0:04:20.197,0:05:07.034
[Unclear speech and Danish, crying] [br]So, you can see here that I broke down.

0:05:07.034,0:05:10.564
It’s in Danish so it’s hard to understand.[br]Not a lot was said:

0:05:10.564,0:05:13.375
“You're beautiful”, “I love you Simone”, [br]“I love you Dad”

0:05:13.375,0:05:20.103
It was a strong experience for me. [br]I saw my daughter there.

0:05:20.103,0:05:28.718
She was so holy, beautiful, clean and [br]ready to be given away to Joshua.

0:05:28.718,0:05:36.249
This is what the bride is. [br]She is called-out and separated.

0:05:36.249,0:05:41.773
She is ready for her husband. [br]Here are some verses.

0:05:41.773,0:05:52.864
Paul wrote: “For I am jealous for you [br]with the jealousy of God himself”

0:05:52.864,0:05:55.527
God is also jealous for His people.

0:05:55.527,0:06:03.747
“I promised you as a pure bride [br]to one husband – Christ.”

0:06:03.747,0:06:11.746
So Paul promised the church [br]as a pure bride to one husband.

0:06:11.746,0:06:17.259
That husband is Christ. [br]Here are so many beautiful pictures.

0:06:17.259,0:06:24.048
Revelation 19: “Let us be glad and [br]rejoice, and let us give honour to him.

0:06:24.048,0:06:30.830
For the time has come for the wedding [br]feast of the Lamb, and his bride”

0:06:30.830,0:06:39.047
the church “has prepared herself.” [br]We, the church, prepare ourselves:

0:06:39.047,0:06:45.894
“She has been given the finest of [br]pure white linen to wear” What is that?

0:06:45.894,0:06:52.360
“For the fine linen represents the [br]good deeds of God's holy people.”

0:06:52.360,0:07:00.539
Here’s a photo of myself walking with [br]my daughter Simone. Here’s the kiss.

0:07:00.539,0:07:04.350
I actually made a video about it. [br]This is the thumbnail.

0:07:04.350,0:07:08.231
If you’ve not seen the video, please do.

0:07:08.231,0:07:14.056
I explain that this was the first time [br]they’d kissed each other.

0:07:14.056,0:07:17.574
He has been living with us for four years.

0:07:17.574,0:07:20.603
They never touched each other [br]intimately or kissed each other.

0:07:20.603,0:07:31.627
After the wedding, they left. [br]Then these two virgins became one flesh.

0:07:31.627,0:07:36.467
The blood was spilled. [br]They entered into a covenant.

0:07:36.467,0:07:42.124
Watch the video. Look at this wedding.

0:07:42.124,0:07:52.918
See that we, the church, have fallen [br]far away from God's grace and intentions.

0:07:52.918,0:07:57.858
This wedding was an extremely [br]clear example of what we should be:

0:07:57.858,0:08:04.578
Called-out, holy and separated. [br]We should be purifying ourselves.

0:08:04.578,0:08:14.045
We’re not only invited to a wedding: [br]We’re the bride and living for that day.

0:08:14.045,0:08:22.391
I’ll talk a lot more about the wedding [br]feast and God’s kingdom in another lesson.

0:08:22.391,0:08:28.868
But this is an extremely beautiful example[br]of the topic we’re speaking about here.

0:08:28.868,0:08:31.415
There’s a link under this video.

0:08:31.415,0:08:35.510
Please watch my video: [br]“Now you may kiss the bride”.

0:08:35.510,0:08:41.154
I explain that the wedding is [br]connected with the God’s kingdom.

0:08:41.154,0:08:43.972
We’re invited to the wedding feast.

0:08:43.972,0:08:53.973
Lesson 4: The Process of Being Called [br]Out: The Israelites were called out.

0:08:53.973,0:09:00.419
Likewise, we must remove the yeast [br]from our house (repentance).

0:09:00.419,0:09:05.717
There’s the blood (the cross) and [br]the Red Sea (baptism into Christ).

0:09:05.717,0:09:09.298
Then the Israelites walked through [br]the wilderness toward the Promised Land.

0:09:09.298,0:09:12.925
They were guided by the [br]Pillar of Cloud and Fire.

0:09:12.925,0:09:18.498
Likewise, we’ve received the Holy Spirit. [br]We walk by the Spirit toward our goal:

0:09:18.498,0:09:23.396
The heavenly Jerusalem that will [br]come down from heaven.

0:09:23.396,0:09:30.812
Those were the first four lessons. We’ll [br]move on now. I’ll talk about Moses today.

0:09:30.812,0:09:39.057
In these lessons, we look at the New and [br]Old Covenants and how they work together.

0:09:39.057,0:09:42.712
Today, we’ll look at Moses [br]and the giving of the law.

0:09:42.712,0:09:54.357
From the law with Moses, [br]to truth and grace in Christ.

0:09:54.357,0:09:57.673
There’s a difference between [br]the old and new covenants.

0:09:57.673,0:10:03.125
Lesson 5’s focus is on Freedom from sin.

0:10:03.125,0:10:07.344
We’re called to be free [br]and to live holy lives.

0:10:07.344,0:10:14.420
After a few more lessons, we’ll look at [br]how David is connected with God’s kingdom.

0:10:14.420,0:10:17.521
Then there’ll be a permanent shift.

0:10:17.521,0:10:24.716
Instead of focussing on the nation [br]of Israel, we'll focus on the kingdom.

0:10:24.716,0:10:28.861
I hope you're ready. I’ll pray [br]and then we'll start.

0:10:28.861,0:10:33.308
God, I thank You for this [br]revelation. I thank You for Your truth.

0:10:33.308,0:10:36.694
I pray that it will bring [br]understanding, God.

0:10:36.694,0:10:39.667
That it will bring truth and [br]freedom to people, God.

0:10:39.667,0:10:43.027
That they will experience the freedom, [br]Jesus, that You have for them.

0:10:43.027,0:10:45.831
Come with Your Holy Spirit. [br]Help me to share this.

0:10:45.831,0:10:51.383
Help people to receive this, God. [br]In the name of Jesus, Amen.

0:10:51.383,0:10:56.313
Lesson 5 will also be long. [br]I will talk about a lot of things.

0:10:56.313,0:11:01.940
But there’ll be a break in the middle, [br]if you need it.

0:11:01.940,0:11:08.713
Lesson 5: The law of Moses. There is [br]the word ‘Death’. That law brings death.

0:11:08.713,0:11:18.867
The law of Christ: That law brings [br]life. Here you can see:

0:11:18.867,0:11:27.731
True understanding (of [br]things being taught) brings:

0:11:27.731,0:11:36.318
Freedom from sin, holiness, purity, [br]victory and eternal life.

0:11:36.318,0:11:42.176
What happened with my daughter and [br]Joshua? Now you may kiss your bride.

0:11:42.176,0:11:46.549
This was the first time they kissed [br]and were together.

0:11:46.549,0:11:56.504
That’s the fruit of a true understanding. [br]It is not about an external law.

0:11:56.504,0:12:01.847
It’s actually about the heart. [br]This comes from a true understanding.

0:12:01.847,0:12:11.334
A false understanding brings slavery to [br]sin, a double life and eternal death.

0:12:11.334,0:12:20.058
A true understanding of what the [br]law means for us today, will bring that.

0:12:20.058,0:12:23.716
A false understanding of [br]the law will bring this.

0:12:23.716,0:12:28.195
A true understanding of [br]grace will bring this.

0:12:28.195,0:12:33.065
A false understanding of [br]grace will bring this.

0:12:33.065,0:12:39.729
Some people with a false [br]understanding talk a lot about the law.

0:12:39.729,0:12:42.025
You can know a tree by the fruit.

0:12:42.025,0:12:48.355
Those people are enslaved [br]and living a double life.

0:12:48.355,0:12:52.454
But others talk a lot about grace.

0:12:52.454,0:12:56.031
They are also enslaved [br]and living a double life.

0:12:56.031,0:12:59.501
They don't have the right [br]understanding of it.

0:12:59.501,0:13:06.329
It’s important to say this at the start, [br]when we look at the law of Moses.

0:13:06.329,0:13:13.560
Let’s move on: It’s possible to [br]divide this law into three parts:

0:13:13.560,0:13:18.098
1. Commandments governing [br]their personal lives.

0:13:18.098,0:13:23.011
2. Law for their social lives [br]with one another.

0:13:23.011,0:13:33.757
3. Ordination for religious lives. We can [br]divide the law like this. I am not a Jew.

0:13:33.757,0:13:40.694
I've never been a Jew. I'm a Gentile and [br]a born-again believer. I'm grafted in.

0:13:40.694,0:13:48.832
The promise is mine. But I'm not a Jew. [br]The law was given to Israel as a nation.

0:13:48.832,0:13:56.488
Actually, it was never given to those who [br]are Gentiles and live in another country.

0:13:56.488,0:14:05.163
It's really important to understand [br]this concept. Right now, I’m in Mexico.

0:14:05.163,0:14:07.956
I used to live in America.

0:14:07.956,0:14:16.698
In America, you can drive through [br]a red light if you’re turning right.

0:14:16.698,0:14:22.297
This is not breaking the law. [br]But it's different in Mexico.

0:14:22.297,0:14:27.072
I can’t drive through a red light and [br]turn right, apart from a few exceptions.

0:14:27.072,0:14:33.207
In Europe, it's even worse. There, I’m [br]not allowed to drive through a red light.

0:14:33.207,0:14:39.739
But here in Mexico, I can’t say, “But [br]they do that in Denmark. Or in America.

0:14:39.739,0:14:47.748
So, I can do it.” No. I'm here now. [br]It matters where you are.

0:14:47.748,0:14:52.255
I can see a great lack of [br]understanding here.

0:14:52.255,0:14:57.804
Gentiles didn’t have ancestors [br]living in Israel.

0:14:57.804,0:15:03.433
But those Gentiles try to apply [br]the law of Moses to today

0:15:03.433,0:15:07.686
– how we should live with each other.

0:15:07.686,0:15:14.301
Some try to apply the religious [br]laws of offerings and sacrifices today.

0:15:14.301,0:15:18.444
But those have nothing do with us.

0:15:18.444,0:15:28.790
It all goes wrong, if we don’t understand [br]to whom the law was given and when.

0:15:28.790,0:15:31.546
If we don’t understand the covenant [br]that it was part of.

0:15:31.546,0:15:41.951
This is extremely important. [br]True understanding brings freedom.

0:15:41.951,0:15:49.262
You can fall into one of two ditches, [br]when listening to teaching about this.

0:15:49.262,0:15:55.123
One ditch is legalism, where you try to [br]go under the law and become bound to it.

0:15:55.123,0:16:00.417
The other is lawlessness, where you say: [br]I'm not under the law of Moses. I'm free.

0:16:00.417,0:16:06.525
They don’t understand that we are under [br]a different law now, the law of Christ.

0:16:06.525,0:16:09.601
That law is written on your heart. [br]I’ll talk about that later.

0:16:09.601,0:16:11.860
So, there's a narrow road [br]between two ditches.

0:16:11.860,0:16:18.023
On one side is legalism, and [br]on the other side is lawlessness.

0:16:18.023,0:16:23.505
We’re called to live in the middle [br]of the road. I hope you're ready.

0:16:23.505,0:16:30.946
Exodus 20 is about Moses [br]and the Ten Commandments.

0:16:30.946,0:16:40.026
Exodus 19: “Now if you obey me fully” [br]Not 30% or half but fully

0:16:40.026,0:16:47.322
“and keep my covenant, then out of all [br]nations you'll be my treasured possession.

0:16:47.322,0:16:49.504
Although the whole earth is mine,

0:16:49.504,0:16:53.453
you will be for me a kingdom [br]of priests and a holy nation.”

0:16:53.453,0:17:05.618
Whom did God say that to? The [br]Israelites, not the Danish or Americans.

0:17:05.618,0:17:12.115
He said that to Israel. The promise was [br]given to them. The law was given to them.

0:17:12.115,0:17:18.401
They needed to fully obey God’s [br]commands. Then He would do His part.

0:17:18.401,0:17:20.762
We read here: “The people [br]all responded together,

0:17:20.762,0:17:27.740
“We will do everything the LORD has [br]said.” Did they do what God had commanded?

0:17:27.740,0:17:39.965
No. But God did not give up. [br]Keep my commands (laws).

0:17:39.965,0:17:51.421
Then you'll be my treasured possession… [br]a kingdom of priests, a holy nation…

0:17:51.421,0:17:57.909
I’ll talk about that later. Let’s read a [br]longer text that describes this.

0:17:57.909,0:18:02.548
What actually happened when the law [br]was given and Moses was on the mountain.

0:18:02.548,0:18:10.757
This is a very significant event compared [br]to others recorded in the Bible.

0:18:10.757,0:18:18.723
Exodus 19: “On the morning of the third [br]day, there was thunder and lightning,

0:18:18.723,0:18:23.509
with a thick cloud over the mountain, [br]and a very loud trumpet blast.

0:18:23.509,0:18:29.854
Everyone in the camp trembled.” [br]The spectacle was frightening.

0:18:29.854,0:18:34.300
“Then Moses led the people [br]out of the camp to meet God,

0:18:34.300,0:18:37.501
and they stood at the foot [br]of the mountain.

0:18:37.501,0:18:44.287
Mount Sinai was covered with smoke [br]because the LORD descended on it in fire.

0:18:44.287,0:18:49.322
The smoke billowed up…” [br]It was an incredible spectacle.

0:18:49.322,0:18:54.635
“As the sound of the trumpet [br]grew louder and louder, Moses spoke,

0:18:54.635,0:19:00.969
and the voice of God answered him.” [br]Moses talked with God.

0:19:00.969,0:19:05.379
“The LORD descended to the top of [br]Mount Sinai and called Moses

0:19:05.379,0:19:12.644
to the top of the mountain. [br]So Moses went up.” What a spectacle!

0:19:12.644,0:19:16.948
“And the LORD said to him, [br]“Go down and warn the people

0:19:16.948,0:19:23.400
so they do not force their way through [br]to see the LORD and many of them perish.”

0:19:23.400,0:19:27.100
So Moses was commanded to prevent [br]the people from going up.

0:19:27.100,0:19:31.390
Otherwise, they would die. Why? [br]Because this was a holy place.

0:19:31.390,0:19:37.030
A holy moment. We read here: [br]“Even the priests, who approach the LORD,

0:19:37.030,0:19:43.671
must consecrate themselves, or [br]the LORD will break out against them.”

0:19:43.671,0:19:48.585
So God was there. His holiness was there.

0:19:48.585,0:19:52.158
The other Israelites couldn’t simply [br]approach God like Moses could.

0:19:52.158,0:19:54.898
The priest needed to consecrate [br]themselves.

0:19:54.898,0:20:01.276
Otherwise, God would break out [br]against them. Then we read:

0:20:01.276,0:20:09.691
“When Moses went and told the [br]people all the LORD's words and laws,

0:20:09.691,0:20:14.882
they responded with one voice, [br]“Everything the LORD has said we will do.”

0:20:14.882,0:20:24.344
Moses then wrote down [br]everything the LORD had said.”

0:20:24.344,0:20:28.999
Moses built an altar. Israelites [br]sacrificed offerings on it.

0:20:28.999,0:20:36.485
I’m going through this quickly. [br]“Moses then took half of the blood…

0:20:36.485,0:20:50.588
the other he splashed against the altar. [br]Then he took the Book of the Covenant

0:20:50.588,0:20:54.631
and read it to the people. They responded,[br]“We will do everything the LORD has said;

0:20:54.631,0:21:01.430
we will obey.” Moses then took the blood, [br]sprinkled it on the people, and said,

0:21:01.430,0:21:08.205
“This is the blood of the covenant that [br]the LORD has made with you

0:21:08.205,0:21:17.539
in accordance with all these words.” So, [br]Moses went up to God. God spoke to Moses.

0:21:17.539,0:21:23.703
It was all written down. The altar was [br]built. They slaughtered animals.

0:21:23.703,0:21:28.661
Moses splashed half of the blood [br]against the altar.

0:21:28.661,0:21:32.077
He sprinkled the other half on the [br]people. They had replied,

0:21:32.077,0:21:39.230
“We will obey everything the Lord [br]have said.” But did they do that?

0:21:39.230,0:21:47.901
No, they didn’t. Read this: [br]“This is the blood of the covenant

0:21:47.901,0:21:52.139
that the LORD has made” [br]This points to the New Testament.

0:21:52.139,0:21:59.702
Jesus said, “This is my blood of [br]the New Covenant.” It points to Jesus.

0:21:59.702,0:22:08.666
Let’s continue: “The LORD said to [br]Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain

0:22:08.666,0:22:15.252
and stay here, and I will give you [br]the tablets of stone with the law

0:22:15.252,0:22:20.435
and commandments I have [br]written for their instruction.”

0:22:20.435,0:22:24.971
When Moses went up on the [br]mountain, the cloud covered it.

0:22:24.971,0:22:28.777
Then Moses entered the cloud [br]as he went on up the mountain.

0:22:28.777,0:22:34.614
And he stayed on the mountain [br]forty days and forty nights.”

0:22:34.614,0:22:42.281
Please read the whole of Exodus, because [br]it's very important. This is our history.

0:22:42.281,0:22:52.076
It’s not just a Jewish story. It’s our [br]story. All of this points to Christ.

0:22:52.076,0:22:56.128
In chapter 24, Moses went up the mountain.

0:22:56.128,0:23:02.400
In chapters 25 to 31, are some of the [br]things God revealed to Moses. Chapter 25:

0:23:02.400,0:23:08.503
The Ark of the Covenant, the Table for [br]the Bread and the Golden Lampstand.

0:23:08.503,0:23:12.991
Chapter 26: The Tabernacle [br](Tent of Meeting):

0:23:12.991,0:23:19.043
where God came down later and met with [br]them, while they were traveling around.

0:23:19.043,0:23:22.201
Chapter 27: The Bronze Altar. [br]Chapter 28: The Priests’ Garments.

0:23:22.201,0:23:26.167
Chapter 29: Consecration of the Priests. [br]Chapter 30: The Altar of Incense.

0:23:26.167,0:23:36.736
Chapter 31: The Sabbath. We read [br]after that: “When the LORD finished

0:23:36.736,0:23:43.371
speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave [br]him the two tablets of the covenant law,

0:23:43.371,0:23:47.243
the tablets of stone inscribed [br]by the finger of God.”

0:23:47.243,0:23:55.594
But what happened while Moses was [br]on the mountain in God’s presence?

0:23:55.594,0:23:58.772
Only a short time before, [br]the people had said,

0:23:58.772,0:24:03.998
“We will do everything the LORD [br]has said; we will obey.”

0:24:03.998,0:24:15.728
But not long after, they did the opposite,[br]while Moses was on the mountain.

0:24:15.728,0:24:21.692
We read here: “When the people saw [br]that Moses was so long in coming down

0:24:21.692,0:24:25.557
from the mountain, they gathered [br]around Aaron and said,

0:24:25.557,0:24:29.451
“Come, make us gods who will go before us.

0:24:29.451,0:24:33.055
As for this fellow Moses who [br]brought us up out of Egypt,

0:24:33.055,0:24:35.063
we don't know what has [br]happened to him.””

0:24:35.063,0:24:42.946
Try to imagine this situation. [br]They’d said, “God, we want to obey you.”

0:24:42.946,0:24:53.335
Then Moses had sprinkled the blood [br]of the covenant on the people.

0:24:53.335,0:24:57.430
They had said, "We will obey [br]everything the LORD has commanded."

0:24:57.430,0:25:07.671
Moses had gone up the mountain. [br]After less than 40 days, they said

0:25:07.671,0:25:13.395
“We don't know what’s happened [br]about Moses. Let's make a golden calf.”

0:25:13.395,0:25:21.490
Then they broke God's law. [br]I’ll talk more about that later.

0:25:21.490,0:25:24.280
They actually broke the first [br]two of the ten commandments:

0:25:24.280,0:25:27.398
You shall have no other gods before me.

0:25:27.398,0:25:32.733
You shan't make yourself an image in the[br]form of anything in heaven or on earth.

0:25:32.733,0:25:40.890
You shall not bow down to them. But that’s[br]what they did. They made a golden calf.

0:25:40.890,0:25:46.828
What did they call it? “This is the [br]LORD who brought us out of Egypt.

0:25:46.828,0:25:54.327
This is the LORD our God, Yahweh, [br]who brought us out of Egypt.”

0:25:54.327,0:25:59.061
They did not change God's name [br]but they changed his image.

0:25:59.061,0:26:09.505
We do the same in our minds today. We [br]say, “We serve God, the god of the Bible.

0:26:09.505,0:26:14.105
We serve Christ Jesus.” [br]We don’t change God’s name.

0:26:14.105,0:26:19.624
But we change His image in our minds. [br]Suddenly, this is a different Jesus.

0:26:19.624,0:26:28.762
A different God. I want to ask: Is your [br]God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?

0:26:28.762,0:26:31.912
Is He the God who brought [br]the Israelites out of Egypt?

0:26:31.912,0:26:36.218
If not, you’ve made yourself an idol. [br]You are serving a different god.

0:26:36.218,0:26:41.155
You’ve done the same as the Israelites. [br]Many people do that today.

0:26:41.155,0:26:45.004
They serve a New Testament god, [br]full of grace and mercy.

0:26:45.004,0:26:53.282
They say that the Old Testament god was [br]evil. But the Bible is the true story.

0:26:53.282,0:26:57.818
I’ll talk about that later. Three thousand[br]people were killed that day.

0:26:57.818,0:27:05.394
I’ll talk about that, shortly. Before we [br]continue, I want to remind you of this:

0:27:05.394,0:27:13.906
The covenants point to Christ [br]and the New Covenant.

0:27:13.906,0:27:19.521
I want to show you these pictures [br]and shadows, that'll become clear to you.

0:27:19.521,0:27:23.614
We’ve looked now at Noah, [br]Abraham and Moses.

0:27:23.614,0:27:27.982
With Noah, the sign of the covenant [br]was the rainbow:

0:27:27.982,0:27:35.138
A sign of hope and a new beginning [br]for those who were saved in the ark;

0:27:35.138,0:27:45.730
the rest perished in the waters. [br]With Abraham, circumcision was the sign:

0:27:45.730,0:27:49.922
The cutting of the foreskin [br]was a sign of the Covenant

0:27:49.922,0:27:56.467
- so that the people would [br]not be cut off from the promise.

0:27:56.467,0:28:01.626
Instead, they would inherit through [br]Abraham. Now we have Moses.

0:28:01.626,0:28:08.199
God gave him stone tablets [br]with His laws written down:

0:28:08.199,0:28:10.371
The Israelites first needed [br]to keep His laws.

0:28:10.371,0:28:13.046
Then God would make them [br]His treasured possession.

0:28:13.046,0:28:20.283
A kingdom of priests and a holy [br]nation. Let's look at Christ here.

0:28:20.283,0:28:36.714
With Noah: “In Christ, we are now saved [br]from the waters (symbolizing baptism).

0:28:36.714,0:28:43.476
We leave behind the old life and [br]embrace hope for eternal life.

0:28:43.476,0:28:51.978
The ark is like Christ, in whom we are [br]now saved. We put off that old life.

0:28:51.978,0:28:58.274
We are saved through the water. [br]Now, we have hope and eternal life.

0:28:58.274,0:29:09.139
Abraham and the circumcision: In [br]Christ, we have circumcision of the heart.

0:29:09.139,0:29:18.681
We will inherit as children of Abraham. [br]Moses and the stone tablets: In Christ:

0:29:18.681,0:29:26.964
God has written His laws on our hearts. [br]We can become God's treasured possession.

0:29:26.964,0:29:34.426
A kingdom of priests and a holy nation. [br]This is so beautiful.

0:29:34.426,0:29:46.481
Each covenant adds another part to the [br]picture of what we have in Christ.

0:29:46.481,0:29:51.694
Now, I’ll talk about some things [br]in the New Testament.

0:29:51.694,0:29:59.437
After that, we’ll return to the Old [br]Testament. Hebrews 9: “But when Christ

0:29:59.437,0:30:04.735
came as high priest of the good [br]things that are now already here,

0:30:04.735,0:30:09.100
he went through the greater [br]and more perfect tabernacle”

0:30:09.100,0:30:17.291
Christ came as high priest and went [br]through a greater, more perfect tabernacle

0:30:17.291,0:30:25.747
“that is not made with human hands, that [br]is to say, is not a part of this creation.

0:30:25.747,0:30:30.205
He did not enter by means of [br]the blood of goats and calves;

0:30:30.205,0:30:37.677
but he entered into the Most Holy Place [br]once for all by his own blood,

0:30:37.677,0:30:46.281
thus obtaining eternal redemption. The [br]blood of goats and bulls and the ashes…”

0:30:46.281,0:30:54.827
could only clean people on the outside. [br]All the things we have read about:

0:30:54.827,0:31:01.490
Moses, the tabernacle, the priestly [br]garments, the high priest and the Sabbath.

0:31:01.490,0:31:07.795
These are all pictures and shadows [br]of a new reality that is in Christ.

0:31:07.795,0:31:15.438
He who went through the real tabernacle [br]in heaven. We read here: “How much more,

0:31:15.438,0:31:22.663
then, will the blood of Christ, who [br]through the eternal Spirit offered himself

0:31:22.663,0:31:29.008
unblemished to God, cleanse our [br]consciences from acts that lead to death,

0:31:29.008,0:31:33.183
so that we may serve the living God!”

0:31:33.183,0:31:44.466
Offerings of goats and calves and their [br]blood could not cleanse the conscience.

0:31:44.466,0:31:54.376
But Christ did. It's not external.[br]It's an internal thing, that is deep:

0:31:54.376,0:32:03.662
“For this reason, Christ is the mediator [br]of a new covenant, that those who are

0:32:03.662,0:32:11.714
called may receive the promised eternal [br]inheritance - now that he has died as

0:32:11.714,0:32:19.803
a ransom to set them free from the sins [br]committed under the first covenant.”

0:32:19.803,0:32:26.297
I’ll go on to explain this. “Now if you [br]obey me fully and keep my covenant,

0:32:26.297,0:32:31.182
then out of all nations you will [br]be my treasured possession…

0:32:31.182,0:32:34.452
you will be for me a kingdom of [br]priests and a holy nation.”

0:32:34.452,0:32:42.804
That was God’s command. [br]Did the Israelites fully obey God?

0:32:42.804,0:32:51.249
No. Did they break His laws? Yes. [br]Have you fully obeyed God? No.

0:32:51.249,0:32:54.057
Have you broken His laws? Yes.

0:32:54.057,0:32:58.087
That means that if it depended on you, you[br]wouldn’t become a treasured possession.

0:32:58.087,0:33:04.404
Nor a kingdom of priests. Nor a holy [br]nation. You didn’t keep the conditions.

0:33:04.404,0:33:18.041
But Christ did. In Him, we’re forgiven. [br]In Him, we’re grafted in.

0:33:18.041,0:33:21.908
In Him, we’re free. In Him, [br]this belongs to us.

0:33:21.908,0:33:28.906
What did Peter say to the church [br]of Jewish and Gentile believers?

0:33:28.906,0:33:36.685
The same is true of born-again Jewish [br]and Gentile believers today:

0:33:36.685,0:33:44.781
“But you are a chosen people, [br]a royal priesthood, a holy nation,

0:33:44.781,0:33:51.766
God's special possession, that you may [br]declare the praises of him who called you

0:33:51.766,0:33:59.693
out of darkness into his wonderful light. [br]Once you were not a people,

0:33:59.693,0:34:08.555
but now you are the people of God; [br]once you had not received mercy,

0:34:08.555,0:34:16.498
but now you have received mercy.” When [br]you understand this it’s really beautiful.

0:34:16.498,0:34:23.747
The law could not do this. We all [br]failed. We’ve all broken the law.

0:34:23.747,0:34:32.075
But Christ kept it. In Him, we [br]become what God said. In Christ:

0:34:32.075,0:34:39.738
We’re God's chosen people, [br]a royal priesthood, and a holy nation.

0:34:39.738,0:34:45.817
We’re God's special possession. I want to [br]say this: God hasn’t forgotten the Jews.

0:34:45.817,0:34:53.603
I’ll talk about the Jews, shortly. [br]The promise is still for them.

0:34:53.603,0:34:59.323
But this is our reality now, in Christ.

0:34:59.323,0:35:08.317
But not everyone in a church [br]building, is part of the church.

0:35:08.317,0:35:14.139
Not everyone who professes [br]a faith in God, is a child of God.

0:35:14.139,0:35:26.204
Not everyone who confesses Jesus, actually[br]obeys Jesus. This is really important.

0:35:26.204,0:35:33.051
The promise is real. But to receive it, [br]you need to be fully born again.

0:35:33.051,0:35:37.536
You need to live this new life. [br]You need to be in Christ.

0:35:37.536,0:35:49.018
Then, this will be your reality. [br]Let's continue reading Hebrews:

0:35:49.018,0:35:53.603
“It was necessary, then, for [br]the copies of the heavenly things

0:35:53.603,0:35:56.502
to be purified with these sacrifices”

0:35:56.502,0:36:02.619
What were Moses' tabernacle in the desert[br]the sacrifices and the offerings?

0:36:02.619,0:36:06.141
They were copies of the heavenly things.

0:36:06.141,0:36:13.831
“For Christ did not enter a sanctuary [br]made with human hands”

0:36:13.831,0:36:18.865
So, he wasn’t like the other priests. That[br]earthly sanctuary was a copy, a picture.

0:36:18.865,0:36:28.837
It was different. “that was only a copy of[br]the true one; he entered heaven itself”

0:36:28.837,0:36:36.574
We need to understand this. Let’s continue[br]reading. Hebrews is an amazing book.

0:36:36.574,0:36:43.153
The author wrote about offerings. [br]Then it’s written:

0:36:43.153,0:36:47.103
“Just as people are destined to die once, [br]and after that to face judgment,

0:36:47.103,0:36:52.059
so Christ was sacrificed once to [br]take away the sins of many;

0:36:52.059,0:36:57.206
and he will appear a second time, [br]not to bear sin, but to bring salvation

0:36:57.206,0:37:02.609
to those who are waiting for [br]him.” Remember this:

0:37:02.609,0:37:06.783
At the time of Moses, [br]the tabernacle was temporary.

0:37:06.783,0:37:16.845
It was a copy of the real heavenly one. [br]Like everything else, it points to Christ.

0:37:16.855,0:37:23.769
This will get clearer as we continue. [br]Now, we'll return to the events in Exodus.

0:37:23.769,0:37:27.129
Moses came down the mountain. [br]The Israelites had made a golden calf.

0:37:27.129,0:37:31.643
We read about the events beforehand: “When[br]the people saw that Moses was so long

0:37:31.643,0:37:35.389
in coming down from the mountain, [br]they gathered around Aaron and said,

0:37:35.389,0:37:39.881
“Come make us gods who will go before us. [br]As for this fellow Moses who brought us

0:37:39.881,0:37:42.688
up out of Egypt, we don’t know [br]what has happened to him.””

0:37:42.688,0:37:49.080
Then they took the gold rings off that [br]their wives, sons, and daughters wore.

0:37:49.080,0:37:54.871
They brought them to Aaron. [br]“He took what they handed him and made it

0:37:54.871,0:38:03.973
into an idol cast in the shape of a calf. [br]He shaped it with a tool. Then they said,

0:38:03.973,0:38:09.077
“This, Israel, is your god who brought [br]you out of the land of Egypt.””

0:38:09.077,0:38:13.653
Try to imagine the situation. [br]God had brought them out.

0:38:13.653,0:38:22.719
Now they’d made a golden calf [br]that had no connection with Yahweh.

0:38:22.719,0:38:26.090
The LORD had brought them out. [br]They said of the golden calf:

0:38:26.090,0:38:29.402
This is Yahweh who brought us out. [br]They called it by His name:

0:38:29.402,0:38:34.162
“Tomorrow there will be a festival [br]to the LORD.” to Yahweh.

0:38:34.162,0:38:41.719
They worshipped Him, in the [br]form of a golden calf.

0:38:41.719,0:38:49.502
“So the next day the people rose early [br]and sacrificed burnt offerings…

0:38:49.502,0:38:53.867
Then the people sat down to eat and [br]drink, and then they got up to play.”

0:38:53.867,0:39:08.057
People do this today. We call an idol [br]using God’s name. But He's not the same.

0:39:08.057,0:39:13.590
It's scary. I could take ten Christians in[br]a line and ask them to say who God is.

0:39:13.590,0:39:23.175
In some cases, they’ll have weird ideas. [br]They are not serving the same god.

0:39:23.175,0:39:25.655
Not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

0:39:25.655,0:39:28.027
Not the God who brought [br]the people out of Egypt.

0:39:28.027,0:39:35.278
They’ve made an image of a god [br]in their minds, that suits them:

0:39:35.278,0:39:44.107
“Oh, no, my God isn’t like that. He’s[br]like this” “Then the LORD said to Moses,

0:39:44.107,0:39:49.673
“Go down, because your people, [br]whom you brought up out of Egypt,

0:39:49.673,0:39:57.883
have become corrupt. They have been [br]quick to turn away from what

0:39:57.883,0:40:03.350
I commanded them and have made themselves [br]an idol cast in the shape of a calf.

0:40:03.350,0:40:07.697
They have bowed down to it and [br]sacrificed to it and have said,

0:40:07.697,0:40:11.050
“This, Israel, is your god who brought [br]you out of the land of Egypt.””

0:40:11.050,0:40:14.762
So, God sees everything. He saw exactly [br]what they were doing.

0:40:14.762,0:40:18.198
“I have seen these people,” [br]the LORD said to Moses.

0:40:18.198,0:40:22.645
“and they are a stiff-necked people.” [br]Notice what He said here:

0:40:22.645,0:40:32.915
“Now leave me alone so that my anger may [br]burn against them that I may destroy them.

0:40:32.915,0:40:37.467
Then I will make you into a great nation.”

0:40:37.467,0:40:49.463
When this happened, God wanted to destroy [br]Israel, those he saved out of Egypt.

0:40:49.463,0:40:56.000
They’d slaughtered the Passover lambs. [br]He’d passed over their houses.

0:40:56.000,0:41:10.250
They’d went through the Red Sea. A few [br]weeks later, He was ready to destroy them.

0:41:10.250,0:41:17.430
But He wouldn’t destroy all of them. Why? [br]Because He’d made a promise to Abraham.

0:41:17.430,0:41:20.560
He'll keep that – to make Abraham [br]into a great nation.

0:41:20.560,0:41:24.255
But whom will He keep the promise with? [br]He wanted to destroy the Israelites.

0:41:24.255,0:41:29.970
Then He said, “I will make you, Moses, [br]into a great nation.”

0:41:29.970,0:41:37.618
It’s important to understand this: God [br]gave a promise to Abraham. He'll keep it.

0:41:37.618,0:41:45.733
God is a promise keeper. But with whom? [br]With Abraham’s descendants.

0:41:45.733,0:41:50.994
But not every descendant of Abraham [br]is a child of Abraham, in that sense.

0:41:50.994,0:41:56.846
Here, He was ready to destroy everyone [br]and then keep His promise with Moses.

0:41:56.846,0:42:01.708
God is faithful and will do everything[br]He has said. But the question is:

0:42:01.708,0:42:07.022
Are you part of that or not? Are we [br]part of what God wants to do?

0:42:07.022,0:42:16.099
God will do what He’s promised to Abraham,[br]Isaac, Jacob, David and Jesus.

0:42:16.099,0:42:21.199
But the question is, are we a part of [br]that? Let's learn from this.

0:42:21.199,0:42:26.774
Let’s have a healthy fear of God in our[br]lives, so we won't be cut off.

0:42:26.774,0:42:33.604
Many Israelites were cut off when these [br]events happened. Moses interceded:

0:42:33.604,0:42:39.338
“But Moses sought the favour of the [br]LORD his God. “LORD,” he said,

0:42:39.338,0:42:44.267
“why should your anger burn against your [br]people, whom you brought out of Egypt

0:42:44.267,0:42:50.796
with great power and a mighty hand? [br]Why should the Egyptians say,

0:42:50.796,0:42:55.479
“It was with evil intent that he brought [br]them out to kill them in the mountains and

0:42:55.479,0:43:00.154
to wipe them off the face of the earth”?[br]Turn from your fierce anger; relent

0:43:00.154,0:43:06.756
and do not bring disaster on your people.”[br]Moses interceded “Remember your servants

0:43:06.756,0:43:13.994
Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to whom [br]you swore by your own self:

0:43:13.994,0:43:20.289
“I will make your descendants as numerous [br]as the stars in the sky and I will give

0:43:20.289,0:43:32.064
your descendants all this land I [br]promised them… Then the Lord relented

0:43:32.064,0:43:35.154
and did not bring on his people [br]the disaster he had threatened.”

0:43:35.154,0:43:40.710
Reading how Moses interceded, [br]reminds us of something:

0:43:40.710,0:43:44.712
Wickedness was all over the earth [br]but Noah found favour.

0:43:44.712,0:43:51.282
God wanted to destroy the Israelites [br]but Moses interceded.

0:43:51.282,0:43:57.307
The whole world will be destroyed, [br]but Christ can save us from that.

0:43:57.307,0:44:03.977
This is a picture of Christ, who stood [br]in the gap for us. It's really beautiful.

0:44:03.977,0:44:09.325
Moses interceded and later [br]went down from the mountain:

0:44:09.325,0:44:19.187
“When Moses approached the camp and saw [br]the calf and dancing, his anger burned,

0:44:19.187,0:44:26.644
and he threw the tablets out of his [br]hands, breaking them into pieces…”

0:44:26.644,0:44:34.563
He also destroyed the golden calf. [br]Judgement came. We read:

0:44:34.563,0:44:42.542
“that day about three thousand [br]of the people died.” This is interesting.

0:44:42.542,0:44:44.817
What is the clear message here?

0:44:44.817,0:44:56.895
As soon as the Old Covenant law [br]was given, 3,000 people died.

0:44:56.895,0:45:03.746
As soon as the New Covenant Spirit [br]was given, 3,000 received new life.

0:45:03.746,0:45:17.563
This is all connected. [br]This all points to Christ. Exodus 32:

0:45:17.563,0:45:22.027
“The next day Moses said to the people, [br]“You have committed a great sin.””

0:45:22.027,0:45:26.085
By this time, around 3,000 people had [br]been killed. Moses said to the rest:

0:45:26.085,0:45:29.443
“You have committed a great sin. [br]But now I will go up to the LORD;

0:45:29.443,0:45:31.845
perhaps I can make atonement [br]for your sin.”

0:45:31.845,0:45:35.809
So Moses went back to the LORD [br]and said, “Oh, what a great sin

0:45:35.809,0:45:41.361
these people have committed! [br]They have made themselves gods of gold.

0:45:41.361,0:45:44.537
But now, please forgive their sin”

0:45:44.537,0:45:52.346
Then Moses interceded in an amazing [br]and beautiful way: “but if not,

0:45:52.346,0:46:03.287
then blot me out of the book you have [br]written.” Moses really stood in the gap.

0:46:03.287,0:46:11.347
He said, “Either forgive them or blot me [br]out of the book.” What a man! “The LORD

0:46:11.347,0:46:17.304
replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned [br]against me I will blot out of my book.””

0:46:17.304,0:46:20.583
Now, we read about the book of life.

0:46:20.583,0:46:26.446
Books will be opened at the great [br]judgment, at the great judgment seat:

0:46:26.446,0:46:31.461
At the end of Revelation. I’ll talk about [br]these books later in this series.

0:46:31.461,0:46:36.287
It's possible to be blotted out of the [br]book of life. People say today:

0:46:36.287,0:46:39.517
“If your name is written in the book [br]of life, everything is fine.”

0:46:39.517,0:46:46.362
That’s true if your name is there and [br]stays there. But what is very clear here?

0:46:46.362,0:46:53.562
That a person can be blotted out of God's [br]book. Then God said to Moses: “Now go,

0:46:53.562,0:47:01.825
lead the people to the place I spoke of, [br]and my angel will go before you.

0:47:01.825,0:47:09.121
However, when the time comes for me to [br]punish, I will punish them for their sin.”

0:47:09.121,0:47:22.243
So about 3,000 people died right away. In [br]Lesson 3 (‘Called-out’), I explained this:

0:47:22.243,0:47:33.711
The sinful generation didn’t enter the [br]promised land, but later were punished.

0:47:33.711,0:47:42.449
It's a very clear picture of our salvation[br]journey. Someone commented on Lesson 3

0:47:42.449,0:47:46.196
(‘Called-out’): “Yeah, but you can’t use [br]the example of the promised land.

0:47:46.196,0:47:52.437
There were giants in the promised land.” [br]Yeah, we can use that example.

0:47:52.437,0:47:56.890
What will happen when Jesus sets up [br]God’s kingdom on earth?

0:47:56.890,0:48:04.142
He will need to deal with some things [br]at the beginning. We’ll take the land.

0:48:04.142,0:48:11.457
People will submit under Jesus’ Lordship [br]and rule. All will bow down at His feet.

0:48:11.457,0:48:19.090
But there’ll be a time of judgment. The [br]righteousness will bring peace on earth.

0:48:19.090,0:48:23.099
It'll be cleaned up. It won’t just happen, [br]from one day to another.

0:48:23.099,0:48:28.472
Those of us who are there, will receive [br]heavenly bodies and rule with him.

0:48:28.472,0:48:33.143
There’ll be a time of cleaning up. Giants [br]in the land is a really good picture.

0:48:33.143,0:48:37.908
Other good pictures are possessing, [br]taking and subduing the land.

0:48:37.908,0:48:41.891
I’ll talk about the promised land [br]in a later lesson.

0:48:41.891,0:48:52.029
But the Israelites didn’t enter because [br]of disobedience. God is very serious.

0:48:52.029,0:48:55.352
Sometimes, judgment come right away [br]and sometimes it’s delayed.

0:48:55.352,0:48:59.775
This should really create a fear of God [br]in our lives, a healthy fear of God.

0:48:59.775,0:49:05.011
After this God called Moses up the [br]mountain again. “The LORD said to Moses,

0:49:05.011,0:49:12.572
“Cut out for yourself two stone tablets [br]like the first ones, and I’ll write on

0:49:12.572,0:49:18.093
the tablets the words which were on [br]the first tablets which you broke.””

0:49:18.093,0:49:24.020
So there were two sets of tablets. [br]The first set of tablets were destroyed.

0:49:24.020,0:49:28.309
Then God called Moses up again [br]and said, “Cut out two new tablets.

0:49:28.309,0:49:35.023
I will write the same on them.” [br]This is very interesting.

0:49:35.023,0:49:42.286
God wrote on the first tablets. Later, [br]Moses made new ones. God wrote on those.

0:49:42.286,0:49:50.829
This points forward to God writing [br]His law on new tablets.

0:49:50.829,0:50:01.829
He is writing His law on our hearts, [br]not with written code on stone tablets.

0:50:01.829,0:50:08.515
He is writing on our hearts by His Spirit.[br]This is all about the gospel.

0:50:08.515,0:50:11.971
It points to Christ, to the time we are[br]living in and to God’s kingdom.

0:50:11.971,0:50:33.697
Many years after Moses, Jeremiah [br]prophesied this: “The days are coming,”

0:50:33.697,0:50:40.372
declares the LORD, “when I will make a [br]new covenant with the people of Israel

0:50:40.372,0:50:47.005
and with the people of Judah. It will [br]not be like the covenant”

0:50:47.005,0:50:52.958
So, it’s not just a continuation of the [br]Mosaic covenant. It’s different:

0:50:52.958,0:50:58.087
“It will not be like the covenant I made [br]with their ancestors when I took them

0:50:58.087,0:51:02.974
by the hand to lead them out of Egypt.” [br]Why will it be different? “because

0:51:02.974,0:51:10.922
they broke my covenant, though I was [br]a husband to them,” declares the LORD.”

0:51:10.922,0:51:19.792
So, it’s a New Covenant. They broke [br]the other one.

0:51:19.792,0:51:26.906
“This is the covenant I'll make with the [br]people of Israel” With Israel the nation.

0:51:26.906,0:51:33.164
Now, we’re grafted in and have received [br]it in Christ. I’ll talk about it later.

0:51:33.164,0:51:41.452
“After that time” declares the LORD. “I'll[br]put my law in their minds and write it”

0:51:41.452,0:51:49.277
on stone tablets? No, He’d already done [br]that and it hadn’t worked.

0:51:49.277,0:51:56.813
The law, written externally, brought [br]death. It didn't work.

0:51:56.813,0:52:01.772
You cannot obey a law as an [br]external written code.

0:52:01.772,0:52:16.220
It's to be written on the heart. Or [br]it won't work: “write it on their hearts.

0:52:16.220,0:52:21.250
I'll be their God, and they'll be my [br]people. No longer will they teach

0:52:21.250,0:52:25.175
their neighbour, or say to one [br]another, “Know the LORD””

0:52:25.175,0:52:29.037
We don’t need a human priest in order [br]to have a relationship with God: "because

0:52:29.037,0:52:32.083
they will all know me, from the least of [br]them to the greatest,”

0:52:32.083,0:52:35.790
“For I will forgive their wickedness [br]and will remember their sins no more.”

0:52:35.790,0:52:44.162
Ezekiel prophesied similar things around [br]the same time. He added some things:

0:52:44.162,0:52:50.268
“I will give them an undivided HEART [br]and put a new spirit in them;”

0:52:50.268,0:52:52.917
So, we read about God writing [br]the law on our hearts.

0:52:52.917,0:52:57.400
We read about an undivided heart [br]and a new spirit.

0:52:57.400,0:53:00.417
“I will remove from them their [br]heart of stone”

0:53:00.417,0:53:08.158
- God won’t write His law on a heart [br]of stone or tablets. He will remove that.

0:53:08.158,0:53:14.558
He'll then write on a new heart by the [br]Spirit - “and give them a heart of flesh.”

0:53:14.558,0:53:22.541
This is not a license for us to sin: “Then[br]they will follow my decrees and be

0:53:22.541,0:53:27.175
careful to keep my laws. They will [br]be my people, and I will be their God.”

0:53:27.175,0:53:30.296
God writes His laws on our hearts, [br]so that we can obey Him.

0:53:30.296,0:53:38.978
Not so we can continue sinning. He did it,[br]so we can be holy as our Father is holy.

0:53:38.978,0:53:42.966
Now you may kiss your bride.

0:53:42.966,0:53:49.720
Now you can enter into a covenant [br]and be one flesh in a marriage.

0:53:49.720,0:53:54.484
You can’t do that if your heart [br]is not transformed.

0:53:54.484,0:54:01.989
It has to come from your heart, [br]not from an external law: “You may not….”

0:54:01.989,0:54:08.635
No, we need a changed heart. [br]We’ll look at that later.

0:54:08.635,0:54:18.229
I have some more slides here[br]before we shortly have a break.

0:54:18.229,0:54:22.299
I want to talk more here about [br]Israel as a nation.

0:54:22.299,0:54:28.146
The fact is, the law of Moses was [br]never actually given to Gentiles.

0:54:28.146,0:54:34.403
It was given to Israel as a nation. [br]These are not laws for me.

0:54:34.403,0:54:41.052
They were for Israel as a nation. But in [br]Christ, I am grafted into the promise.

0:54:41.052,0:54:44.248
I am not part of the physical [br]nation of Israel.

0:54:44.248,0:54:47.235
But I have been grafted into the [br]promise in a spiritual sense.

0:54:47.235,0:54:52.881
I talked about in previous lessons. So[br]now, we’re a holy people. We’re called out.

0:54:52.881,0:54:58.802
We’re God's possession. But that doesn’t [br]mean that God has rejected Israel.

0:54:58.802,0:55:08.339
I want to talk about that before we move [br]on. Romans 11:25-29 is very important.

0:55:08.339,0:55:15.667
Paul writes: “Brothers and sisters, here [br]is a mystery I want you to understand.

0:55:15.667,0:55:23.118
It'll keep you from being proud.” But [br]many people have rejected the Jews.

0:55:23.118,0:55:26.650
They’re very proud: “We’re now the [br]people of God. I am a holy nation.”

0:55:26.650,0:55:34.285
But it's only because of Christ that [br]you are. So please don't be proud.

0:55:34.285,0:55:41.672
Remember this: “Part of Israel” not all of[br]Israel. There are people who love Jesus.

0:55:41.672,0:55:45.912
They are born again and follow [br]the Messiah Jesus.

0:55:45.912,0:55:50.520
“Part of Israel has refused to obey [br]God.” We see this today.

0:55:50.520,0:56:02.814
“That will continue until the full number [br]of non-Jews has entered God's kingdom.”

0:56:02.814,0:56:06.314
So, at the moment they still reject [br]God as a whole.

0:56:06.314,0:56:15.503
This will continue until we as [br]Gentiles have come in.

0:56:15.503,0:56:22.431
This will create jealousy and so on. [br]“And so all Israel will be saved.”

0:56:22.431,0:56:27.029
There’s a hardness right now. But there’ll[br]be a time when all Israel will be saved.

0:56:27.029,0:56:31.063
“It is written, “The One who saves [br]will come from Mount Zion.

0:56:31.063,0:56:35.588
He will remove sin from Jacob.” [br]God has said that. He’ll do it.

0:56:35.588,0:56:39.951
“Here is my covenant with them. [br]I will take away their sins.”

0:56:39.951,0:56:46.990
So, this covenant has been given [br]to the Jews.

0:56:46.990,0:56:53.450
“As far as the gospel is concerned, [br]the people of Israel are enemies.”

0:56:53.450,0:56:57.484
So many of the Jews are enemies. [br]They're not in the New Covenant.

0:56:57.484,0:56:59.797
God’s laws are not yet written [br]on their hearts.

0:56:59.797,0:57:05.660
They haven’t received the spirit, nor are [br]obeying God's laws as a whole.

0:57:05.660,0:57:15.456
They’re enemies according to the gospel. [br]“But as far as God's choice is concerned,

0:57:15.456,0:57:20.709
the people of Israel are loved.” [br]They’re still called.

0:57:20.709,0:57:29.749
“That is because of God's promises [br]to the founders of our nation.

0:57:29.749,0:57:35.461
God does not take back his gifts.

0:57:35.461,0:57:39.531
He does not change his mind [br]about those he has chosen.”

0:57:39.531,0:57:44.529
So, the nation of Israel is still [br]chosen and called.

0:57:44.529,0:57:49.196
God’ll establish a new covenant [br]with them, in their hearts.

0:57:49.196,0:57:55.098
But right now, this belongs to us. [br]Each one of us can receive it.

0:57:55.098,0:58:04.500
A new covenant where the law is written [br]on the heart. I will be their God.

0:58:04.500,0:58:09.949
They'll be my people. Then they'll follow [br]my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.

0:58:09.949,0:58:16.556
All will know me and I will [br]remember their sins no more.

0:58:16.556,0:58:21.156
We’re talking here about [br]following God’s law.

0:58:21.156,0:58:26.724
So, should we go back and do everything [br]God spoke to Israel as a nation? No.

0:58:26.724,0:58:31.675
That law was given to Israel as a nation. [br]I'm not a Jew and never have been.

0:58:31.675,0:58:36.619
I'm a Gentile. But I'm following Christ [br]and His word.

0:58:36.619,0:58:42.111
We need to understand that there [br]is a change in the law. Hebrews 7:

0:58:42.111,0:58:45.790
We read here that Jesus is in the [br]priestly order of Melchizedek.

0:58:45.790,0:58:51.258
There is a change in the priesthood. [br]Please read it yourself.

0:58:51.258,0:58:58.047
“For when the priesthood is changed, [br]the law must be changed also.”

0:58:58.047,0:59:05.892
Because of this change, we’re not bound [br]to the written code given to Moses.

0:59:05.892,0:59:13.154
Instead, we’re bound to the law of Christ.[br]The law of God's written on our hearts.

0:59:13.154,0:59:23.272
Let’s read a few verses from Romans. [br]There’ll be a break shortly.

0:59:23.272,0:59:28.934
“A person is not a Jew who is one only [br]outwardly, nor is circumcision merely

0:59:28.934,0:59:38.041
outward and physical. No, a person is a [br]Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision

0:59:38.041,0:59:45.246
is circumcision of the heart, by the [br]Spirit, not by the written code.”

0:59:45.246,0:59:51.999
That was the Pharisees’ problem. [br]Jesus said this to them: “Woe to you,

0:59:51.999,0:59:57.443
teachers of the law and Pharisees, [br]you hypocrites! You clean the outside of

0:59:57.443,1:00:02.661
the cup and dish, but inside they are [br]full of greed and self-indulgence.

1:00:02.661,1:00:10.257
Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside [br]of the cup and dish,

1:00:10.257,1:00:20.091
and then the outside also will be clean.” [br]Our hearts need to be transformed.

1:00:20.091,1:00:25.786
The law is not written on books or [br]tablets, but on the heart.

1:00:25.786,1:00:30.297
Of course, we have a physical Bible. [br]God is speaking to through His Word.

1:00:30.297,1:00:34.496
But we are loosed from the law of Moses.

1:00:34.496,1:00:44.042
I’ll talk more about that after the break [br]and read more of Romans 6 and 7.

1:00:44.042,1:00:54.027
In Romans 7, we read: “But now, by dying[br]to what once bound us (the law),

1:00:54.027,1:01:05.632
we have been released from the law so [br]that we serve in the new way of the Spirit

1:01:05.632,1:01:12.888
and not in the old way of the written [br]code.” We’ve been released from the law.

1:01:12.888,1:01:21.426
Now we can serve in a new way. [br]The covenant with Moses was everlasting.

1:01:21.426,1:01:33.875
However, it has changed (in Christ). [br]It's not written on stone tablets.

1:01:33.875,1:01:42.373
It’s being written on our hearts, not as [br]a written code. The new way of the Spirit.

1:01:42.373,1:01:53.127
From law to grace. From death to life. [br]I’ll talk more about that after the break.

1:01:53.127,1:02:02.220
It's extremely important. I believe that [br]this will set you free.

1:02:02.220,1:02:05.836
You’ll understand that you don't need to [br]be under the law anymore.

1:02:05.836,1:02:10.822
You can be under grace. You can walk in [br]freedom and listen to the Spirit in you.

1:02:10.822,1:02:29.878
So let's take a break here [Music] We’re [br]back again. This’ll be very interesting.

1:02:29.878,1:02:35.821
I hope you're ready for this. We’ll read [br]in Romans. We see the cross here.

1:02:35.821,1:02:42.456
I already talked about it in Romans 6. [br]But we’ll read it again.

1:02:42.456,1:02:54.482
Bear the law of Moses in mind: “Don’t [br]touch this. Don’t eat that food etc.”

1:02:54.482,1:03:01.117
Romans 6: “Or don’t you know that all of [br]us who were baptized into Christ Jesus

1:03:01.117,1:03:05.804
were baptized into his death?” So, a [br]death takes place when we are baptized.

1:03:05.804,1:03:10.190
We’re baptized into Christ’s death. [br]Death is important. Bear that in mind.

1:03:10.190,1:03:16.333
“We were therefore buried with him [br]through baptism into death in order that,

1:03:16.333,1:03:19.773
just as Christ was raised from the dead [br]through the glory of the Father,

1:03:19.773,1:03:24.672
we too may live a new life.” We’re [br]baptized into His death. That’s important.

1:03:24.672,1:03:31.006
Why? Because we’re only bound [br]to a law, as long as you live.

1:03:31.006,1:03:41.877
But when we die, we’re loosed from that[br]law. Romans 6 and 7 focus on that.

1:03:41.877,1:03:46.771
“Because anyone who had died [br]has been set free from sin.”

1:03:46.771,1:03:52.204
But this is not only about sin. [br]The law is connected with sin.

1:03:52.204,1:03:59.693
Here’s something important. Romans 7: [br]“Do you not know, brothers and sisters

1:03:59.693,1:04:05.239
- for I am speaking to those who know [br]the law - that the law has authority

1:04:05.239,1:04:19.957
over someone only as long as that person[br]lives? For example, by law a married woman

1:04:21.848,1:04:30.138
is bound to her husband as long as he is [br]alive, but if her husband dies, she is

1:04:30.138,1:04:40.968
released from the law that binds her to [br]him.” Why does Paul write about this?

1:04:40.968,1:04:48.657
Romans 6 - 8 is about the new life and [br]freedom from the law of sin and death.

1:04:48.657,1:04:56.601
Paul not only teaches about marriage [br]and divorce, but also about the law.

1:04:56.601,1:05:10.377
It’s an example to show this: We’re [br]bound to the law as long as we live.

1:05:10.377,1:05:17.447
But we can read beforehand that we're [br]baptized into Christ, into His death.

1:05:18.319,1:05:28.392
The baptism is a death. The law was [br]never given to me as a Gentile.

1:05:28.392,1:05:33.327
I'm not physically part of Israel. [br]I was without hope in this world.

1:05:33.327,1:05:39.999
I was lost without hope and without God. [br]But the law is also spiritual.

1:05:39.999,1:05:44.481
In that sense, it’s working in everyone.

1:05:44.481,1:05:53.823
When we start to sin, [br]you become a slave to that sin.

1:05:53.823,1:05:59.185
The law is at work in a way [br]we don’t realise.

1:05:59.185,1:06:06.027
To take an example, imagine that [br]you’re going to stay at someone’s house.

1:06:06.027,1:06:09.308
The person says, “Hey, you can stay at [br]my house. Here's the kitchen.

1:06:09.308,1:06:14.240
Just take some breakfast in the morning. [br]Here are all the things you can take.

1:06:14.240,1:06:20.257
You can eat anything you want. But [br]you’re not allowed to open this closet.

1:06:20.257,1:06:27.301
It’s very important [br]that you don’t open it.”

1:06:27.301,1:06:31.741
If someone tells you not to [br]do something, what happens?

1:06:31.741,1:06:38.226
You’ll think, “Why can’t I [br]open that closet?”

1:06:38.226,1:06:42.378
When we’re told not to do something, [br]something happens inside us.

1:06:42.378,1:06:46.061
For example, imagine a man [br]going to a Walmart.

1:06:46.061,1:06:55.728
Before he goes in, he repeats to himself, [br]“Don’t look with lust on a woman”.

1:06:55.728,1:06:58.743
What will happen? He’ll go in [br]and continue thinking of that.

1:06:58.743,1:07:09.745
In the end, he’ll look at a woman. It does[br]not work. That law doesn't bring freedom.

1:07:09.745,1:07:19.347
Christ brings freedom. If we’re bound to[br]the law of sin and death, it works in us.

1:07:19.347,1:07:25.533
We’re bound to that law as long as [br]we live. That's why we need to die.

1:07:25.533,1:07:35.212
Read Romans 6 about dying to [br]the law. We’re dead to the law.

1:07:35.212,1:07:41.426
We're not under the law. We are freed [br]or loosed from the law. We read here:

1:07:41.426,1:07:52.429
“For sin shall no longer be your master” [br]Sin won’t have authority over us. Why not?

1:07:52.429,1:07:56.739
Because the law only has authority [br]over a person as long as he lives.

1:07:56.739,1:08:01.519
But in baptism, we die. [br]It's no longer we who live, but Christ.

1:08:01.519,1:08:04.079
So the law of sin and death [br]has no authority over me.

1:08:04.079,1:08:08.800
“For sin shall no longer be [br]your master” Why not?

1:08:08.800,1:08:17.906
“because you are not under the law” [br]You’re dead to the law “but under grace”

1:08:17.906,1:08:26.972
So, the law came with Moses. [br]Grace and truth came with Christ.

1:08:26.972,1:08:33.660
Many people try to follow Christ [br]by trying to keep the law of Moses.

1:08:33.660,1:08:37.887
They don’t realise that they’ve [br]been loosed from that law.

1:08:37.887,1:08:44.035
That's when they were baptized into [br]Christ. They entered into a new covenant.

1:08:44.035,1:08:51.457
It’s not about the written code written [br]on stones, what's written on your heart.

1:08:51.457,1:09:03.825
That’s where true freedom is. Let’s move [br]on: Under the law, sin was our master.

1:09:03.825,1:09:14.357
Under grace, you're baptized into Christ. [br]You’re dead to the law, alive in Christ.

1:09:14.357,1:09:21.266
You’re free from the law and the sin [br]that once kept you enslaved.

1:09:21.266,1:09:28.793
If you’re a slave to sin, [br]you’re still not under grace.

1:09:28.793,1:09:32.687
Remember that true grace [br]is not a cover up for sin.

1:09:32.687,1:09:38.734
True Grace empowers us to [br]live a new life, free from sin.

1:09:38.734,1:09:48.349
You can still be a Christian [br]and have your mind set on Egypt.

1:09:48.349,1:09:52.495
That’s because you’ve never really left.

1:09:52.495,1:09:58.943
It's time to leave and [br]live a new life by the Spirit.

1:09:58.943,1:10:05.685
I’m saying here that many Christians [br]are still under the law.

1:10:05.685,1:10:10.467
They’re still trying to obey [br]the law instead of living by the spirit.

1:10:10.467,1:10:13.085
They’re not living [br]the new way of the spirit.

1:10:13.085,1:10:18.870
Their minds are still set on the old ways [br]of Egypt. They’re never really left.

1:10:18.870,1:10:24.807
They haven’t experienced the freedom, [br]with the law written on their hearts.

1:10:24.807,1:10:31.428
The ministry we bring, [br]should set people free.

1:10:31.428,1:10:38.289
Paul wrote about this ministry [br]we’ve been given. 2 Corinthians 3:

1:10:38.289,1:10:44.755
“You show that you're a letter from [br]Christ, the result of our ministry,

1:10:44.755,1:10:58.558
written not with ink but with the Spirit [br]of the living God, not on tablets of stone

1:10:58.558,1:11:08.685
but on tablets of human hearts.” Our [br]ministry's different from Moses' law.

1:11:08.685,1:11:14.074
That was the old covenant written on [br]stones. Now, we have a new ministry.

1:11:14.074,1:11:19.909
A new way. God’s laws are written on the [br]heart by the spirit of the Living God.

1:11:19.909,1:11:25.475
Paul continues: “Now if the ministry [br]that brought death”

1:11:25.475,1:11:32.727
What happened when the law of Moses [br]was given? 3,000 died right away.

1:11:32.727,1:11:44.588
His ministry brought death that "was [br]engraved in letters on stone, came with

1:11:44.588,1:11:48.955
glory, so that the Israelites could[br]not look steadily at the face of Moses

1:11:48.955,1:11:54.494
because of its glory, transitory though it[br]was, will not this ministry of the Spirit

1:11:54.494,1:12:04.218
be even more glorious?” Of course. “If[br]the ministry that brought condemnation”

1:12:04.218,1:12:11.344
bringing death and condemnation “was [br]glorious, how much more glorious is

1:12:11.344,1:12:20.476
the ministry that brings righteousness!”[br]We have the ministry of the new covenant.

1:12:20.476,1:12:28.050
This doesn't bring condemnation. [br]It can truly cleanse our conscience.

1:12:28.050,1:12:35.922
It can bring righteousness. Then [br]we’re free, not to live in condemnation.

1:12:35.922,1:12:39.473
We’re free from the law, free [br]to live by the spirit.

1:12:39.473,1:12:45.988
You need to receive this through [br]the new birth, by faith.

1:12:45.988,1:12:50.152
I'm going to share a personal testimony [br]and experience shortly:

1:12:50.152,1:12:57.293
“Therefore, since we have such a hope, [br]we are very bold. We are not like Moses,

1:12:57.293,1:13:04.607
who would put a veil over his face to [br]prevent the Israelites from seeing the end

1:13:04.607,1:13:09.473
of what was passing away.” So, the [br]law of Moses was passing away.

1:13:09.473,1:13:15.104
Moses’ face was veiled, so the Israelites [br]wouldn’t see it. "But their minds were

1:13:15.104,1:13:23.368
made dull, for to this day the same veil [br]remains when the old covenant is read.”

1:13:23.368,1:13:27.819
Also today when people read about [br]Moses and the old Covenant,

1:13:27.819,1:13:32.322
there’s a veil over their faces. [br]So, they don’t understand it:

1:13:32.322,1:13:41.836
“It has not been removed, because [br]only in Christ is it taken away.”

1:13:41.836,1:13:51.934
Many read the law in the Bible. They have[br]a blindness. They don’t understand it.

1:13:51.934,1:13:58.962
Only in Christ, is the blindness taken [br]away. Some people have a fear.

1:13:58.962,1:14:03.160
They say: “We need law. If we don’t, [br]people will live in sin.”

1:14:03.160,1:14:09.628
But what happened with the law? Did [br]the law help people to live holy lives?

1:14:09.628,1:14:13.991
Did the Israelites live holy lives because[br]they had the law? No.

1:14:13.991,1:14:19.220
But God gave a new spirit and [br]wrote a new law in our hearts.

1:14:19.220,1:14:29.596
So, we’ll obey God's decree and follow His[br]laws. How do we live that holy life?

1:14:29.596,1:14:37.452
Not by following Moses, but by following [br]Christ by the spirit. Paul continues:

1:14:37.452,1:14:42.768
“But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, [br]the veil is taken away.

1:14:42.768,1:14:50.498
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the [br]Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

1:14:50.498,1:15:01.479
Freedom. You need to receive this by [br]the Spirit. Here's some examples.

1:15:01.479,1:15:07.070
I heard the gospel for the first time [br]from my friend Tommy.

1:15:07.070,1:15:13.269
I told him, he was brainwashed. I couldn't[br]see it. I said, he was brainwashed.

1:15:13.269,1:15:16.863
It was wrong. He was in a cult. [br]He should be careful.

1:15:16.863,1:15:19.943
I thought that he was crazy [br]and brainwashed. I thought:

1:15:19.943,1:15:23.446
I needed to help him and save him out [br]of that cult. I didn't understand.

1:15:23.446,1:15:29.982
A few days later, I got born again. [br]My eyes opened. The veil was taken away.

1:15:29.982,1:15:34.742
Then my father told me, “Torben, [br]you’re brainwashed. It’s a cult.”

1:15:34.742,1:15:38.900
My father couldn’t see it. Why? Because [br]he still had a a veil over his face.

1:15:38.900,1:15:45.145
He couldn’t see it. I told him, “Father, [br]you’re saying what I said to Tommy.

1:15:45.145,1:15:50.644
But it's the truth. I see it now.” Before [br]I was blinded, like my father was blinded.

1:15:50.644,1:15:54.054
But some years later, he repented. [br]Then he saw it.

1:15:54.054,1:15:59.258
This happens when someone truly repents [br]and is born again. Their eyes open.

1:15:59.258,1:16:06.205
However, my mind was still set on Egypt [br]for the first years of my Christian life.

1:16:06.205,1:16:13.865
I did not understand that I had buried [br]the old life in the baptism.

1:16:13.865,1:16:24.067
That I had died to the law of sin and [br]death, and wasn’t bound to it anymore.

1:16:24.067,1:16:27.629
I was free from sin. I didn't need [br]to be a slave anymore.

1:16:27.629,1:16:31.621
During the first six years of my [br]Christian life, I was repenting.

1:16:31.621,1:16:35.327
The law was written on my heart.[br]I had received a new spirit.

1:16:35.327,1:16:41.976
Many things in my life changed. [br]But in some areas, I was not free.

1:16:41.976,1:16:49.058
I kept falling into the same sins. I felt,[br]I was becoming a slave of sin again.

1:16:49.058,1:16:56.180
I was not free. Then one day I read [br]Romans 6. I really understood it.

1:16:56.180,1:17:02.944
God revealed it to me by the Spirit: [br]“Hey, I'm dead to the law! I'm free!

1:17:02.944,1:17:06.474
I don't need to sin anymore! [br]The law is spiritual!”

1:17:06.474,1:17:08.867
So, this broke down something [br]wrong inside me.

1:17:08.867,1:17:12.827
I realised, I wasn’t not under the [br]law of sin and death anymore.

1:17:12.827,1:17:21.542
I'm free to follow Christ. This gave [br]me a totally new freedom.

1:17:21.542,1:17:29.369
I've been free ever since for many years.[br]It doesn't mean that I'm sinless.

1:17:29.369,1:17:34.207
We can still do wrong things. [br]But then we feel convicted right away.

1:17:34.207,1:17:37.802
We ask God for forgiveness. He’s[br]faithful to forgive us. Then we move on.

1:17:37.802,1:17:45.832
I'm not bound. I don’t ask forgiveness, [br]to repeat the sin 2 weeks later.

1:17:45.832,1:17:52.341
I don’t feel like a slave to sin. No. [br]I feel free. I'm not focused on the law.

1:17:52.341,1:17:58.250
I'm don’t go into a mall, telling myself [br]repeatedly “Don't look at woman” and fail.

1:17:58.250,1:18:03.639
I'm free to go into the mall. I focus [br]on Christ. I don’t think like this:

1:18:03.639,1:18:09.238
“Don't touch! Don't watch! Don't do [br]this or that!” I'm free to follow Christ.

1:18:09.238,1:18:16.772
You need a revelation so you can [br]really experience that freedom.

1:18:16.772,1:18:22.747
You can love Jesus, walk by the spirit,[br]occasionally doing something wrong.

1:18:22.747,1:18:28.226
I don't have the ten commandments [br]written in my phone or on a poster.

1:18:28.226,1:18:34.041
Why not? Because I'm not under [br]the law. It's written in my heart.

1:18:34.041,1:18:41.886
I'm following Christ and obeying [br]His words. I read His words.

1:18:41.886,1:18:56.510
But if I do, say or think something wrong,[br]I feel it right away: “Oh, I know it.”

1:18:56.510,1:19:00.790
No one needs to teach me to know the Lord [br]and to do different things. I know Him.

1:19:00.790,1:19:09.134
I feel it in my heart. Why? The law’s [br]written on my heart. I am convicted.

1:19:09.134,1:19:12.467
From this perspective, the Christian [br]life is actually really easy:

1:19:12.467,1:19:18.961
Don't follow the law of Moses. Listen [br]to Christ and obey His word.

1:19:18.961,1:19:26.801
Listen to the Spirit, God has [br]given you. Follow the Holy Spirit.

1:19:26.801,1:19:30.917
If Holy Spirit says, “Don't say that. [br]Don't look at that. Don’t do this.

1:19:30.917,1:19:34.469
Don’t do that” then stop doing it. [br]Listen to the Spirit.

1:19:34.469,1:19:40.507
Let the Spirit guide you through [br]the wilderness toward the promised land.

1:19:40.507,1:19:46.080
Let the Holy Spirit guide you. [br]God speaks to us about different things.

1:19:46.080,1:19:55.789
We really need to follow God [br]and live in that freedom. 1 Corinthians:

1:19:55.789,1:20:03.995
“He has made us competent [br]as ministers of a new covenant, not

1:20:03.995,1:20:15.800
of the letter but of the Spirit; for the[br]letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”

1:20:15.800,1:20:24.270
The letter kills, [br]but the Spirit gives life.

1:20:24.270,1:20:31.743
What happened when the law was given [br]on Mount Sinai? 3,000 were killed.

1:20:31.743,1:20:36.605
What happened when the Spirit [br]was given on Pentecost in Jerusalem?

1:20:36.605,1:20:45.330
Three thousand received new life. The[br]letter kills but the Spirit gives life.

1:20:45.330,1:20:49.647
We read that in Acts 2: “Those who [br]accepted the message were baptized,

1:20:49.647,1:20:54.511
and about three thousand were [br]added to their number that day.”

1:20:55.617,1:21:05.213
When did that happen? On Pentecost, [br]Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks.

1:21:05.213,1:21:11.972
At that time, Israelites from all over [br]Israel came to Jerusalem to celebrate:

1:21:11.972,1:21:30.671
The giving of the law. It happened on [br]that day, not a week or month before.

1:21:30.671,1:21:38.963
So, when we read about Moses and the [br]law, we read about temporary things.

1:21:38.963,1:21:43.727
These are just pictures that point [br]to Christ and the New Covenant.

1:21:43.727,1:21:45.615
Today, we are under the New Covenant.

1:21:45.615,1:21:53.275
Sadly, many people today prefer [br]following the law than the Spirit.

1:21:53.275,1:22:02.021
They don't have the Spirit. So, they [br]follow the law. You need to be born again.

1:22:02.021,1:22:08.522
You need the Holy Spirit. It must come [br]from your heart. Walking by the Spirit.

1:22:08.522,1:22:12.436
Live a life with a clean conscience.

1:22:12.436,1:22:16.543
If you step out of God's plan, [br]you’ll feel it in your heart.

1:22:16.543,1:22:19.014
Then you must return to the narrow road.

1:22:19.014,1:22:25.343
But if you stop listening to the Spirit [br]and go into the law, you’ll become bound.

1:22:25.343,1:22:31.782
You’ll walk away from Christ and the road [br]that leads to righteousness.

1:22:31.782,1:22:39.336
I've seen so many people start in the [br]spirit but end in the flesh under the law.

1:22:39.336,1:22:47.690
We are loosed from the law. [br]I don't keep the Sabbath. People tell me,

1:22:47.690,1:22:50.940
“You need to keep the Sabbath.” [br]They only read some of the verses.

1:22:50.940,1:22:54.360
What did God say? Keep the Sabbath. [br]Have one day of rest per week.

1:22:54.360,1:22:56.386
No, he also told them to work six days.

1:22:56.386,1:23:04.149
But most people I know who are eager [br]to keep Sabbath, don’t work six days.

1:23:04.149,1:23:10.790
They work five days. Why do they do that? [br]How can people say,

1:23:10.790,1:23:14.460
“Oh, we keep the Sabbath. This is [br]our Sabbath” if they only work five days?

1:23:14.460,1:23:19.717
God didn’t say that. He told them [br]to work six days and take one day off.

1:23:19.717,1:23:24.411
This law was never given to Gentile. [br]It was given to the Israelites.

1:23:24.411,1:23:30.125
This doesn’t mean, I can’t learn from it. [br]It is important. I do some things.

1:23:30.125,1:23:37.065
Sometimes the Holy Spirit tells me to rest[br]one day. I have a day that I take off.

1:23:37.065,1:23:43.945
I don't work seven days and then start [br]a new week of seven days. We need this.

1:23:43.945,1:23:48.374
But this is not because of the Mosaic [br]law. It’s not an obligation or a law.

1:23:48.374,1:23:50.328
It’s nothing to do with righteousness.

1:23:50.328,1:23:59.345
It just shows us that God want us [br]also to rest and take time with him.

1:23:59.345,1:24:03.861
Don't be too busy. We need to [br]understand this rightly.

1:24:03.861,1:24:07.661
But some people are so fixed on [br]keeping the Mosaic law.

1:24:07.661,1:24:13.239
But the Sabbath law said that people [br]shouldn’t light a fire on that day.

1:24:13.239,1:24:16.674
Do you do that? At that time, they [br]lit fires using wood.

1:24:16.674,1:24:18.794
Do you turn on the oven on the Sabbath?

1:24:18.794,1:24:24.102
If you start going down that road, [br]you’ll suddenly become bound.

1:24:24.102,1:24:28.818
If you keep a little of the law, [br]you’re obligated to keep it all.

1:24:28.818,1:24:35.488
Christ kept it for us, to set us free from[br]the law: Not that we could live in sin.

1:24:35.488,1:24:42.647
It was so we could walk by the Spirit in [br]freedom. Listen to this. Romans 2:

1:24:42.647,1:24:50.757
“All who sin apart from the law will [br]also perish apart from the law,

1:24:50.757,1:24:54.829
and all who sin under the law [br]will be judged by the law.”

1:24:54.829,1:24:59.643
So, if we sin apart from the law [br]we’ll perish apart from the law.

1:24:59.643,1:25:02.711
If we sin under the law, we’ll be [br]judged by the law.

1:25:02.711,1:25:04.522
This refers to Jews and Gentiles.

1:25:04.522,1:25:10.749
“For it is not those who hear the law [br]who are righteous in God's sight,

1:25:10.749,1:25:15.310
but it is those who obey the law [br]who will be declared righteous.

1:25:15.310,1:25:23.437
(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have [br]the law” as the law wasn’t given to us

1:25:23.437,1:25:33.659
“do by nature the things required by the [br]law, they are a law for themselves,

1:25:33.659,1:25:36.238
even though they do not have the law.)

1:25:36.238,1:25:44.972
They show that the requirements of [br]the law are written on their hearts”

1:25:44.972,1:25:47.950
How do we obey the law?

1:25:47.950,1:25:52.887
Love God with all your heart and love your[br]neighbour as yourself. What is the law?

1:25:52.887,1:25:57.044
What is the heart of the law?[br]“written on their hearts,

1:25:57.044,1:26:04.784
their consciences also bearing witness, [br]and their thoughts sometimes

1:26:04.784,1:26:10.193
accusing them and at other times [br]even defending them.”

1:26:10.193,1:26:15.488
This is extremely important. [br]Gentiles don't have this law.

1:26:15.488,1:26:16.828
It was never given to them.

1:26:16.828,1:26:20.436
We’ll still be judged even if we’re [br]not under the law - if we live in sin.

1:26:20.436,1:26:29.601
But Gentiles who are born again, have [br]the Christ's law written on the heart.

1:26:29.601,1:26:34.996
They have a conscience. [br]The conscience bears witness.

1:26:34.996,1:26:42.735
Sometimes our thoughts accuse us [br]and other times they defend us.

1:26:42.735,1:26:54.415
I'm free. I'm free to eat things. [br]I don’t think about the Sabbath.

1:26:54.415,1:26:57.091
When I was born again, [br]the law was written on my heart.

1:26:57.091,1:27:14.247
I never felt when I made food on a[br]Sabbath (or Saturday): “I can’t do this.”

1:27:14.247,1:27:17.779
I’ve never felt that I can’t do a [br]kickstart or training on that day.

1:27:17.779,1:27:22.465
I’ve never felt condemned in that [br]area. It's not written on my heart.

1:27:22.465,1:27:28.016
It’s the same with head coverings. [br]We need to understand the context.

1:27:28.016,1:27:29.386
I’ll talk about that later.

1:27:29.386,1:27:33.890
I've never met anyone who'd just received [br]the Holy Spirit and God’s love, saying:

1:27:33.890,1:27:38.032
“The Holy Spirit says that I need to cover[br]my head. I can’t work on the Sabbath.

1:27:38.032,1:27:41.567
I have to do this. I can’t play cards. [br]I have to wear a long dress.”

1:27:41.567,1:27:46.606
I never met someone who said that [br]that is written on their heart.

1:27:46.606,1:27:51.816
Then they read the law and get confused: [br]“Oh no! I need to do this and that.”

1:27:51.816,1:27:55.522
Condemnation comes. [br]Then they try to keep the law.

1:27:55.522,1:27:58.943
This leads them away from the [br]pure and narrow road in Christ.

1:27:58.943,1:28:02.366
They try to do this, not to do that, [br]not to eat that and all the rest.

1:28:02.366,1:28:05.917
But I have been convicted [br]in my heart many times.

1:28:05.917,1:28:10.168
I had said, done or looked [br]at something wrong.

1:28:10.168,1:28:15.557
For example, after I got born again, [br]I slept with my girlfriend.

1:28:15.557,1:28:20.306
I felt so condemned: What have I done? [br]Red light, red light, sin, sin, sin!

1:28:20.306,1:28:23.955
I knew it was sin. I did not need [br]to read it in the Bible.

1:28:23.955,1:28:26.734
I hadn’t read that yet, [br]but it was written on my heart.

1:28:26.734,1:28:29.949
This happens with so many other things.

1:28:29.949,1:28:38.655
For example, if I say something wrong [br]or reply in anger, I feel condemned.

1:28:38.655,1:28:45.562
It happened once when I was in jail. You [br]can read my book, if you haven’t already.

1:28:45.562,1:28:53.870
There was a nasty guard in jail, [br]who was not nice.

1:28:53.870,1:28:56.940
They came in and checked us, [br]when we were sitting in there.

1:28:56.940,1:29:01.620
They scanned our card for their records.

1:29:01.620,1:29:09.468
For a long time, we’d been allowed [br]to leave some food to eat later.

1:29:09.468,1:29:13.022
But he suddenly changed all the rules [br]and they took all our food away.

1:29:13.022,1:29:20.232
He was nasty. I remember sitting there [br]in my cell. He opened my cell and came in.

1:29:20.232,1:29:22.022
He wanted to scan my card.

1:29:22.022,1:29:24.779
He had just taken some food away [br]or something like that.

1:29:24.779,1:29:31.242
I felt irritated. He said, “Give me your [br]card” [Showing irritation] “Here”

1:29:31.242,1:29:36.137
He said, “Don't be so nasty.” [br]I just took the card out of his hand.

1:29:36.137,1:29:39.041
I was just irritated. Then he moved on.

1:29:39.041,1:29:47.624
As soon as I reacted like that,[br]I felt that it was wrong of me.

1:29:47.624,1:29:53.332
I asked God to forgive me [br]for reacting like that.

1:29:53.332,1:29:59.877
I have many examples like that. [br]It’s because of my conscience.

1:29:59.877,1:30:03.339
But other times, I stand up, [br]preach and do things.

1:30:03.339,1:30:05.825
Then my conscience bears [br]witness that all is good.

1:30:05.825,1:30:10.467
But other times, I feel that I [br]shouldn’t have done something.

1:30:10.467,1:30:12.646
I've seen that happening [br]with other people.

1:30:12.646,1:30:21.612
When anyone is at the start of their [br]new life, they have a clean conscience.

1:30:21.612,1:30:25.792
The Holy Spirit teaches, helps [br]and purifies them.

1:30:25.792,1:30:30.931
But then I see them suddenly turning [br]away from that, going under the law.

1:30:30.931,1:30:36.782
They start trying to keep the rules [br]and guidelines, and get confused.

1:30:36.782,1:30:38.780
That doesn’t lead to holiness.

1:30:38.780,1:30:43.782
Suddenly they feel condemned, [br]whereas before they did not:

1:30:43.782,1:30:47.112
“Oh, I cannot drive. I cannot wear a [br]dress. I have to cover my head.

1:30:47.112,1:30:50.466
I cannot do this or that.” They start [br]to feel condemned all the time.

1:30:50.466,1:30:55.625
Why? Because they're going [br]back under the law.

1:30:55.625,1:30:59.752
They don't know that they're in a New [br]Covenant and are free from the law.

1:30:59.752,1:31:02.256
I want to do a Q&A video very soon.

1:31:02.256,1:31:05.582
I know that many people are asking [br]questions about this topic.

1:31:05.582,1:31:09.066
Please come with your questions. [br]I'll do a Q&A video.

1:31:09.066,1:31:13.599
Lesson 6 will be about Hagar and Sarah.

1:31:13.599,1:31:23.559
I’ll talk much more about the spirit, the [br]flesh, the law, grace and freedom etc.

1:31:23.559,1:31:27.706
I’ll go over all of this, because [br]it’s new for many of you.

1:31:27.706,1:31:30.180
You’re saying, “Torben, [br]what are you saying?

1:31:30.180,1:31:33.699
Are you saying that we don't need to [br]obey the law of Moses?” Yes, I am.

1:31:33.699,1:31:37.882
“Are you saying that we’re just free to [br]live the way we want to?” No, I'm not.

1:31:37.882,1:31:45.496
You're free to walk by the spirit. [br]You’re free to listen to your conscience.

1:31:45.496,1:31:48.651
Keep your conscience clean, [br]above all things.

1:31:48.651,1:31:53.421
If your conscience starts to condemn [br]you, do something about it.

1:31:53.421,1:31:56.338
But don’t do it in your own strength.

1:31:56.338,1:32:00.519
Ask God to give you a revelation [br]of who you are in Christ.

1:32:00.519,1:32:05.180
Listen to these verses in 1 John. [br]This lesson is almost finished.

1:32:05.180,1:32:17.690
But this is important: “Dear friends, [br]now we are children of God,

1:32:17.690,1:32:21.454
and what we will be has not [br]yet been made known.

1:32:21.454,1:32:24.664
But we know that when Christ [br]appears, we shall be like him,

1:32:24.664,1:32:30.911
for we shall see him as he is. All who [br]have this hope in him” That is our hope.

1:32:30.911,1:32:36.073
We’re invited to a wedding. We, [br]the bride, need to purify ourselves

1:32:36.073,1:32:39.641
“purify themselves, just as he is pure.

1:32:39.641,1:32:46.519
Everyone who sins breaks the law; [br]in fact, sin is lawlessness.

1:32:46.519,1:32:51.716
But you know that he appeared so [br]that he might take away our sins.

1:32:51.716,1:33:01.022
And in him is no sin. No one who [br]lives in him keeps on sinning.”

1:33:01.022,1:33:10.323
That is the secret. Live in Christ. “No [br]one who lives in him keeps on sinning.”

1:33:10.323,1:33:14.084
This doesn’t mean that we can never sin. [br]But we are not to keep on sinning.

1:33:14.084,1:33:15.655
That’s not how we live.

1:33:15.655,1:33:23.613
“No one who continues to sin has [br]either seen him or known him.”

1:33:23.613,1:33:28.520
Many people who sit in church [br]buildings, don’t really know Him

1:33:28.520,1:33:30.305
- they keep on sinning.

1:33:30.305,1:33:34.350
“Dear children, do not let [br]anyone lead you astray.

1:33:34.350,1:33:38.233
The one who does what [br]is right is righteous”

1:33:38.233,1:33:42.893
It's not so much about what we believe, [br]but what we do “just as he is righteous.

1:33:42.893,1:33:45.903
The one who does what is sinful [br]is of the devil,

1:33:45.903,1:33:48.524
because the devil has been [br]sinning from the beginning.

1:33:48.524,1:33:55.167
The reason the Son of God appeared [br]was to destroy the devil’s work.

1:33:55.167,1:34:07.900
No one who is born of God will continue to[br]sin, because God's seed remains in them;”

1:34:07.900,1:34:10.992
God’s law is written on our hearts.

1:34:10.992,1:34:16.358
His seed is the Spirit we’ve now [br]received, the word of God.

1:34:16.358,1:34:23.472
“they cannot go on sinning because [br]they have been born of God.”

1:34:23.472,1:34:26.945
It's not about praying the sinner's [br]prayer. It's about the new birth.

1:34:26.945,1:34:30.976
“This is how we know who the [br]children of God are

1:34:30.976,1:34:34.609
and who the children of the devil are:” [br]The way we live.

1:34:34.609,1:34:37.831
“Anyone who does not do what [br]is right is not God’s child,

1:34:37.831,1:34:41.405
nor is anyone who does not love [br]their brother and sister.”

1:34:41.405,1:34:45.455
So, let’s close this lesson. [br]What do we need to do?

1:34:45.455,1:34:55.967
Repent and be baptized, [br]and receive the Holy Spirit.

1:34:55.967,1:35:03.176
Then: Know that you are free from [br]the law of sin and death. Pray.

1:35:03.176,1:35:08.873
Ask God to reveal this truth to you. [br]You need to live it by faith.

1:35:08.873,1:35:14.423
It’s a revelation. I am free. [br]Yes. I don't need to sin anymore.

1:35:14.423,1:35:16.625
You are dead to the law. You are free.

1:35:16.625,1:35:23.408
Know, you're free from the law of sin and [br]death that once bound and enslaved you.

1:35:23.408,1:35:28.726
Believe it. Understand that Christ [br]has set you free.

1:35:28.726,1:35:39.974
Now walk by the Spirit in a new life. [br]Paul wrote so clearly about the law:

1:35:39.974,1:35:45.991
“Though I am free and belong to no one, [br]I have made myself

1:35:45.991,1:35:48.801
a slave to everyone, to win [br]as many as possible.”

1:35:48.801,1:35:54.218
Now, he wrote something interesting here: [br]“To the Jews, I became like a Jew,

1:35:54.218,1:36:01.670
to win the Jews. To those under the law, [br]I became like one under the law

1:36:01.670,1:36:05.415
(though I myself am not under the law)”

1:36:05.415,1:36:08.345
Paul wrote that he became like them [br]when he was with them.

1:36:08.345,1:36:11.422
He became like them to win them. [br]But he wasn’t under the law.

1:36:11.422,1:36:15.169
Me, neither. I'm not under the law. [br]I'm free from the law.

1:36:15.169,1:36:17.950
You're free from the law. We are [br]free from the law. Why?

1:36:17.950,1:36:22.054
Because we’re dead to the law.[br]The law bound us as long we lived.

1:36:22.054,1:36:25.597
But it's no longer I who live, it’s Christ[br]who lives. I'm dead to the law.

1:36:25.597,1:36:30.793
What does that mean, to not be [br]under the law? Are we without law? No.

1:36:30.793,1:36:36.900
Paul continues: “To those not having the [br]law, I became like one not having the law

1:36:36.900,1:36:43.538
(though I am not free from God's law [br]but am under Christ’s law)”

1:36:43.538,1:36:48.293
Paul wrote in one place that [br]he wasn’t under the law.

1:36:48.293,1:36:54.023
In another place, he said he wasn’t free [br]from God's law, but under Christ’s law.

1:36:54.023,1:37:00.654
What does that mean? We're not under the [br]law of sin and death, that Moses brought.

1:37:00.654,1:37:05.799
But we’re under the law of Christ. [br]What is that?

1:37:05.799,1:37:08.616
That is to listen to Him and His word.

1:37:08.616,1:37:13.921
Law is not only written commandments [br]written in the Bible.

1:37:13.921,1:37:16.762
It is what Jesus said. [br]Read what Jesus said.

1:37:16.762,1:37:21.530
Did he say, “If you love me, keep what [br]Moses said.” No, He didn’t say that.

1:37:21.530,1:37:24.975
He said “If you love me, [br]keep my commands…”

1:37:24.975,1:37:29.494
Some people are very eager [br]to keep the Mosaic law.

1:37:29.494,1:37:32.890
They keep the feasts, the food laws, [br]the Sabbath and the dress code.

1:37:32.890,1:37:37.673
But they are not eager to keep Jesus’ law:[br]Love your neighbour as yourself.

1:37:37.673,1:37:45.858
Go out and make disciples. [br]Preach the gospel. Obey Christ.

1:37:45.858,1:37:52.804
“If you love me, keep my commands.” Jesus [br]said. I need to finish the lesson here:

1:37:52.804,1:38:00.341
“So the law” with Moses “was [br]our guardian until Christ came

1:38:00.341,1:38:02.653
that we might be justified by faith.

1:38:02.653,1:38:09.275
Now that this faith has come, [br]we are no longer under a guardian.”

1:38:09.275,1:38:14.857
We're now in faith. “So in Christ Jesus, [br]you're all children of God through faith,

1:38:14.857,1:38:19.796
for all of you who were baptized into Christ [br]have clothed yourselves with Christ.”

1:38:19.796,1:38:23.478
We can say it like this: You are [br]baptized into Christ’s death.

1:38:23.478,1:38:30.903
Therefore, you're no longer bound to the [br]law. You don't need a guardian anymore.

1:38:30.903,1:38:34.849
You are now in Christ. “There is neither [br]Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free…

1:38:34.849,1:38:37.500
If you belong to Christ, [br]then you are Abraham’s seed”.

1:38:37.500,1:38:41.401
So, I’ll finish the lesson now. [br]Old Covenant (Moses): Until Christ.

1:38:41.401,1:38:55.107
Law on stone tablets. Written code. [br]Brought death. Could not obey the old way.

1:38:55.107,1:38:57.138
God rejected the whole generation.

1:38:57.138,1:39:03.375
Did not inherit the Promised Land but [br]Joshua brought the next generation in.

1:39:03.375,1:39:06.219
Joshua’s and Jesus’ [br]names are directly related.

1:39:06.219,1:39:11.663
Moses could not bring them [br]into the promised land but Joshua did.

1:39:11.663,1:39:15.799
The law cannot bring you into the [br]kingdom of God but Jesus can.

1:39:15.799,1:39:28.249
The law is good if we use it the rightly: [br]to reveal sin so we can come to Christ.

1:39:28.249,1:39:35.779
But in baptism, we die to the law. New [br]Covenant (Jesus): Everlasting covenant.

1:39:35.779,1:39:46.209
Law is written on hearts of flesh. [br]New way by the Spirit. Brought life.

1:39:46.209,1:39:49.128
Can now obey in the new way.

1:39:49.128,1:39:52.578
We’ll one day enter into [br]the Promised Land:

1:39:52.578,1:39:56.528
If we are victorious and [br]continue in Christ.

1:39:56.528,1:40:07.515
Jesus fulfilled the law’s requirements. [br]We are now: God's treasured possession.

1:40:07.515,1:40:11.678
A kingdom of priests. A holy nation. [br]But it's not complete yet.

1:40:11.678,1:40:14.696
We will be those things one day [br]when he comes.

1:40:14.696,1:40:24.043
Then we’ll rule with Him here on earth. [br]A few more verses:

1:40:24.043,1:40:31.240
“Therefore, there is no condemnation [br]for those who are in Christ Jesus…

1:40:31.240,1:40:38.681
because through Christ Jesus the law [br]of the Spirit who gives life

1:40:38.681,1:40:43.137
has set us free from the law [br]and sin and death.”

1:40:43.137,1:40:51.826
When you’re in Christ, you are under the[br]law of the spirit written on your heart.

1:40:51.826,1:40:55.426
You’re set free from the law of sin [br]and death.

1:40:55.426,1:41:00.349
“For what the law was powerless to do [br]because it was weakened by the flesh, God

1:41:00.349,1:41:05.772
did by sending his own Son in the likeness[br]of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.

1:41:05.772,1:41:13.137
And so he condemned sin in the flesh, [br]in order that the righteous requirement

1:41:13.137,1:41:20.331
of the law might be fully met in us, [br]who do not live according to the flesh

1:41:20.331,1:41:27.092
but according to the Spirit.” [br]So, get born again. Live by the spirit.

1:41:27.092,1:41:32.989
Listen to the Holy Spirit. [br]When your heart condemns you, repent.

1:41:32.989,1:41:38.566
Don't try to live by the law of Moses [br]and go under the law.

1:41:38.566,1:41:44.685
That’ll bring condemnation and death. [br]Live in the New Covenant, by the Spirit.

1:41:44.685,1:41:50.032
Obey Jesus. If you love Him, [br]keep His commands and you will live.

1:41:50.032,1:41:53.768
I’ll pray for you. God, I thank You [br]for everyone who’s seen this.

1:41:53.768,1:41:58.488
I pray that this will bring freedom to [br]them. Freedom from the law.

1:41:58.488,1:42:01.200
Freedom to live a holy life [br]as You are holy.

1:42:01.200,1:42:05.583
Freedom to live by the Spirit. I pray [br]that everyone will understand this:

1:42:05.583,1:42:11.481
When we are baptized, Jesus, we [br]are baptized into Your death.

1:42:11.481,1:42:17.504
It's no longer I who live, [br]but it's You who lives.

1:42:17.504,1:42:21.565
A woman is only bound to the law, [br]as long as her husband is alive.

1:42:21.565,1:42:24.006
But when we die, we’re loosed [br]from that law.

1:42:24.006,1:42:29.305
We're free to be married to somebody [br]else. Christ Jesus is our bridegroom.

1:42:29.305,1:42:34.690
Help us to purify ourselves. [br]Purify us by the Spirit.

1:42:34.690,1:42:37.390
Help us to walk by the Spirit, [br]without condemnation.

1:42:37.390,1:42:42.664
Then, one day, Jesus, we’ll inherit this [br]earth together with You.

1:42:42.664,1:42:46.964
Thank You for what You're doing. I pray [br]that it will bring freedom to people.

1:42:46.964,1:42:52.032
Come and speak to people out there [br]through this. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

1:42:52.032,1:42:55.066
See you next time. Come with [br]your questions.

1:42:55.066,1:42:59.961
I'll do a Q&A video soon where I will [br]answer some of them. God bless you.

1:42:59.961,1:43:04.372
Let's live the new life by the Spirit [br]that God has for all of us. Bye bye.
