9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Welcome to Lesson 5 of the Kingdom school.[br]I'm very excited to be with you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I think that this lesson [br]will bless you a lot.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Some of you will experience [br]freedom today.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Some of you will have never [br]heard this before.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But I know some people will have [br]an issue with what I'm sharing.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But please bear with me. You’ll see [br]that these things are actually biblical.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let’s start. I hope you're ready. [br]Lesson 4 was called: ‘Saved out of Egypt:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Our journey of salvation.’ [br]I love that lesson.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I want to start now by reading [br]this beautiful feedback:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A man wrote here: ‘Brother Torben![br]I'm 72 years old.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is the first time I've heard [br]the Full Gospel message like this:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Preached out of the Old Testament. [br]That is such a great teaching.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The Church needs to hear it, [br]even more than the lost.’

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, this man is 72 years old.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This was the first time he’s heard the [br]gospel preached out of the Old Testament.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This comment really affected me. I [br]experienced the same thing in jail.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God revealed it to me in a new way: the [br]gospel in the Old and New Testaments.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The gospel of the Kingdom. [br]Much of this was new for me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is what the church needs. God [br]brought me to jail to reveal this to me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So I get extremely excited [br]when I receive a comment like this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The first four lessons:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lesson 1: The Beginning of Eden [br]to the new Heaven and Earth:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The Fall, Noah, and the Flood.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lesson 2: Abraham Our Father:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This happened after the fall, [br]wickedness and destruction.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How God desired a people who are [br]His, beginning with Abraham.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He is the father of Faith - a man had [br]a family that later became a nation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lesson 3: I explained how that [br]nation was called out of Egypt.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Likewise, we are called out of Babylon.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was called: ‘Called out of Egypt’: How [br]that nation was called out from Egypt.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How we today are called [br]out to be the Church.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We are set apart as God's holy people.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I love that lesson. I want to start [br]with a personal testimony.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Last week, my daughter Simone got married.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Here’s a picture of the area just outside [br]this studio. I'm standing there, smiling.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Simone and Joshua have just said “Yes” [br]to each other. They were so excited.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This wedding, this past week, [br]is the strongest picture for me of this:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The church is those who are called out. [br]They are holy and separated.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This wedding was holy and so beautiful.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The fear of God was there [br]in a beautiful way.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What happened just [br]a few hours before this?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I saw my daughter Simone in her [br]wedding dress for the first time.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Her hair was done. She had makeup on [br]and everything. It was so, so beautiful.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Here is a one-minute video of my reaction.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
For the first time I saw my daughter [br]standing in the beautiful wedding dress.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My reaction surprised me. [br]I really broke down.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I want to show you this clip [br]and then will continue talking it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[Unclear speech and Danish, crying] [br]So, you can see here that I broke down.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It’s in Danish so it’s hard to understand.[br]Not a lot was said:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“You're beautiful”, “I love you Simone”, [br]“I love you Dad”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was a strong experience for me. [br]I saw my daughter there.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
She was so holy, beautiful, clean and [br]ready to be given away to Joshua.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is what the bride is. [br]She is called-out and separated.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
She is ready for her husband. [br]Here are some verses.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Paul wrote: “For I am jealous for you [br]with the jealousy of God himself”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God is also jealous for His people.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“I promised you as a pure bride [br]to one husband – Christ.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So Paul promised the church [br]as a pure bride to one husband.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That husband is Christ. [br]Here are so many beautiful pictures.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Revelation 19: “Let us be glad and [br]rejoice, and let us give honour to him.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
For the time has come for the wedding [br]feast of the Lamb, and his bride”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the church “has prepared herself.” [br]We, the church, prepare ourselves:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“She has been given the finest of [br]pure white linen to wear” What is that?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“For the fine linen represents the [br]good deeds of God's holy people.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Here’s a photo of myself walking with [br]my daughter Simone. Here’s the kiss.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I actually made a video about it. [br]This is the thumbnail.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you’ve not seen the video, please do.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I explain that this was the first time [br]they’d kissed each other.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He has been living with us for four years.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They never touched each other [br]intimately or kissed each other.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
After the wedding, they left. [br]Then these two virgins became one flesh.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The blood was spilled. [br]They entered into a covenant.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Watch the video. Look at this wedding.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
See that we, the church, have fallen [br]far away from God's grace and intentions.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This wedding was an extremely [br]clear example of what we should be:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Called-out, holy and separated. [br]We should be purifying ourselves.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’re not only invited to a wedding: [br]We’re the bride and living for that day.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’ll talk a lot more about the wedding [br]feast and God’s kingdom in another lesson.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But this is an extremely beautiful example[br]of the topic we’re speaking about here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There’s a link under this video.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Please watch my video: [br]“Now you may kiss the bride”.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I explain that the wedding is [br]connected with the God’s kingdom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’re invited to the wedding feast.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lesson 4: The Process of Being Called [br]Out: The Israelites were called out.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Likewise, we must remove the yeast [br]from our house (repentance).

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There’s the blood (the cross) and [br]the Red Sea (baptism into Christ).

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then the Israelites walked through [br]the wilderness toward the Promised Land.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They were guided by the [br]Pillar of Cloud and Fire.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Likewise, we’ve received the Holy Spirit. [br]We walk by the Spirit toward our goal:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The heavenly Jerusalem will [br]come down from heaven.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Those were the first four lessons. We’ll [br]move on now. I’ll talk about Moses today.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Next time, we’ll look at the New and [br]Old Covenant and how they work together.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Today, we’ll look at Moses [br]and the giving of the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
From the law with Moses, [br]to truth and grace in Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There’s a difference between [br]the old and new covenants.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lesson 5’s focus is on Freedom from sin.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’re called to be free [br]and to live holy lives.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
After a few more lessons, we’ll look at [br]how David is connected with God’s kingdom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then there’ll be a permanent shift.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Instead of focussing on the nation [br]of Israel, we'll focus on the kingdom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I hope you're ready. I’ll pray [br]and then we'll start.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God, I thank You for this [br]revelation. I thank You for Your truth.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I pray that it will bring [br]understanding, God.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That it will bring truth and [br]freedom to people, God.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That they will experience the freedom, [br]Jesus, that You have for them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Come with Your Holy Spirit. [br]Help me to share this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Help people to receive this, God. [br]In the name of Jesus, Amen.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lesson 5 will also be long. [br]I will talk about a lot of things.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But there’ll be a break in the middle, [br]if you need it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lesson 5: The law of Moses. There is [br]the word ‘Death’. That law brings death.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The law of Christ: That law brings [br]life. Here you can see:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
True understanding brings:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Freedom from sin, holiness, purity, [br]victory and eternal life.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What happened with my daughter and [br]Joshua? Now you may kiss your bride.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This was the first time they kissed [br]and were together.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That’s the fruit of a true understanding. [br]It is not about an external law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It’s actually about the heart. [br]This comes from a true understanding.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A false understanding brings slavery to [br]sin, a double life and eternal death.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A true understanding of what the [br]law means for us today, will bring that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A false understanding of [br]the law will bring this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A true understanding of [br]grace will bring this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A false understanding of [br]grace will bring this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Some people with a false [br]understanding talk a lot about the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can know a tree by the fruit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Those people are enslaved [br]and living a double life.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But others talk a lot about grace.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They are also enslaved [br]and living a double life.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They don't have the right [br]understanding of it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It’s important to say this at the start, [br]when we look at the law of Moses.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let’s move on: It’s possible to [br]divide this law into three parts:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1. Commandments governing [br]their personal lives.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
2. Law for their social lives [br]with one another.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
3. Ordination for religious lives. We can [br]divide the law like this. I am not a Jew.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've never been a Jew. I'm a Gentile and [br]a born-again believer. I'm grafted in.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The promise is mine. But I'm not a Jew. [br]The law was given to Israel as a nation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Actually, it was never given to those who [br]are Gentiles and live in another country.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's really important to understand [br]this concept. Right now, I’m in Mexico.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I used to live in America.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In America, you can drive through [br]a red light if you’re turning right.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is not breaking the law. [br]But it's different in Mexico.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I can’t drive through a red light and [br]turn right, apart from a few exceptions.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In Europe, it's even worse. There, I’m [br]not allowed to drive through a red light.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But here in Mexico, I can’t say, “But [br]they do that in Denmark. Or in America.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, I can do it.” No. I'm here now. [br]It matters where you are.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I can see a great lack of [br]understanding here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Gentiles didn’t have ancestors [br]living in Israel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But those Gentiles try to apply [br]the law of Moses to today

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
– how we should live with each other.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Some try to apply the religious [br]laws of offerings and sacrifices today.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But those have nothing do with us.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It all goes wrong, if we don’t understand [br]to whom the law was given and when.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If we don’t understand the covenant [br]that it was part of.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is extremely important. [br]True understanding brings freedom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can fall into one of two ditches, [br]when listening to teaching about this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
One ditch is legalism, where you try to [br]go under the law and become bound to it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The other is lawlessness, where you say: [br]I'm not under the law of Moses. I'm free.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They don’t understand that we are under [br]a different law now, the law of Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That law is written on your heart. [br]I’ll talk about that later.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, there's a narrow road [br]between two ditches.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
On one side is legalism, and [br]on the other side is lawlessness.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’re called to live in the middle [br]of the road. I hope you're ready.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Exodus 20 is about Moses [br]and the Ten Commandments.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Exodus 19: “Now if you obey me fully” [br]Not 30% or half but fully

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“and keep my covenant, then out of all [br]nations you'll be my treasured possession.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Although the whole earth is mine,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you will be for me a kingdom [br]of priests and a holy nation.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Whom did God say that to? The [br]Israelites, not the Danish or Americans.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He said that to Israel. The promise was [br]given to them. The law was given to them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They needed to fully obey God’s [br]commands. Then He would do His part.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We read here: “The people [br]all responded together,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“We will do everything the LORD has [br]said.” Did they do what God had commanded?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
No. But God did not give up. [br]Keep my commands (laws).

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then you'll be my treasured possession… [br]a kingdom of priests, a holy nation…

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’ll talk about that later. Let’s read a [br]longer text that describes this"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What actually happened when the law [br]was given and Moses was on the mountain.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is a very significant event compared [br]to others recorded in the Bible.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Exodus 19: “On the morning of the third [br]day, there was thunder and lightning,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with a thick cloud over the mountain, [br]and a very loud trumpet blast.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Everyone in the camp trembled.” [br]The spectacle was frightening.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Then Moses led the people [br]out of the camp to meet God,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and they stood at the foot [br]of the mountain.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Mount Sinai was covered with smoke [br]because the LORD descended on it in fire.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The smoke billowed up…” [br]It was an incredible spectacle.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“As the sound of the trumpet [br]grew louder and louder, Moses spoke,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and the voice of God answered him.” [br]Moses talked with God.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“The LORD descended to the top of [br]Mount Sinai and called Moses

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to the top of the mountain. [br]So Moses went up.” What a spectacle!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“And the LORD said to him, [br]“Go down and warn the people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so they do not force their way through [br]to see the LORD and many of them perish.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So Moses was commanded to prevent [br]the people from going up.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Otherwise, they would die. Why? [br]Because this was a holy place.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A holy moment. We read here: [br]“Even the priests, who approach the LORD,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
must consecrate themselves, or [br]the LORD will break out against them.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So God was there. His holiness was there.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The other Israelites couldn’t simply [br]approach God like Moses could.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The priest needed to consecrate [br]themselves.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Otherwise, God would break out [br]against them. Then we read:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“When Moses went and told the [br]people all the LORD's words and laws,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they responded with one voice, [br]“Everything the LORD has said we will do.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Moses then wrote down [br]everything the LORD had said.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Moses built an altar. Israelites [br]sacrificed offerings on it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’m going through this quickly. [br]“Moses then took half of the blood…

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the other he splashed against the altar. [br]Then he took the Book of the Covenant

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and read it to the people. They responded,[br]“We will do everything the LORD has said;

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we will obey.” Moses then took the blood, [br]sprinkled it on the people, and said,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“This is the blood of the covenant that [br]the LORD has made with you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in accordance with all these words.” So, [br]Moses went up to God. God spoke to Moses.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Moses wrote it all down, and built [br]an altar. They slaughtered animals.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Moses splashed half of the blood [br]against the altar.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He sprinkled the other half on the [br]people. They had replied,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“We will obey everything the Lord [br]have said.” But did they do that?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
No, they didn’t. Read this: [br]“This is the blood of the covenant

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that the LORD has made” [br]This points to the New Testament.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Jesus said, “This is my blood of [br]the New Covenant.” It points to Jesus.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let’s continue: “The LORD said to [br]Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and stay here, and I will give you [br]the tablets of stone with the law

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and commandments I have [br]written for their instruction.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When Moses went up on the [br]mountain, the cloud covered it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then Moses entered the cloud [br]as he went on up the mountain.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And he stayed on the mountain [br]forty days and forty nights.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Please read the whole of Exodus, because [br]it's very important. This is our history.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It’s not just a Jewish story. It’s our [br]story. All of this points to Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In chapter 24, Moses went up the mountain.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In chapters 25 to 31, are some of the [br]things God revealed to Moses. Chapter 25:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The Ark of the Covenant, the Table for [br]the Bread and the Golden Lampstand.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Chapter 26: The Tabernacle [br](Tent of Meeting):

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
where God came down later and met with [br]them, while they were traveling around.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Chapter 27: The Bronze Altar. [br]Chapter 28: The Priests’ Garments.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Chapter 29: Consecration of the Priests. [br]Chapter 30: The Altar of Incense.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Chapter 31: The Sabbath. We read [br]after that: “When the LORD finished

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave [br]him the two tablets of the covenant law,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the tablets of stone inscribed [br]by the finger of God.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But what happened while Moses was [br]on the mountain in God’s presence?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Only a short time before, [br]the people had said,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“We will do everything the LORD [br]has said; we will obey.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But not long after, they did the opposite,[br]while Moses was on the mountain.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We read here: “When the people saw [br]that Moses was so long in coming down

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
from the mountain, they gathered [br]around Aaron and said,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Come, make us gods who will go before us.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
As for this fellow Moses who [br]brought us up out of Egypt,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we don't know what has [br]happened to him.””

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Try to imagine this situation. [br]They’d said, “God, we want to obey you.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then Moses had sprinkled the blood [br]of the covenant on the people.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Moses had gone up the mountain. [br]After less than 40 days, they said

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“We don't know what’s happened [br]about Moses. Let's make a golden calf.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then they broke God's law. [br]I’ll talk more about that later.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They actually broke the first [br]two of the ten commandments:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You shall have no other gods before me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You shan't make yourself an image in the[br]form of anything in heaven or on earth.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You shall not bow down to them. But that’s[br]what they did. They made a golden calf.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What did they call it? “This is the [br]LORD who brought us out of Egypt.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is the LORD our God, Yahweh, [br]who brought us out of Egypt.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They did not change God's name [br]but they changed his image.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We do the same in our minds today. We [br]say, “We serve God, the god of the Bible.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We serve Christ Jesus.” [br]We don’t change God’s name.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But we change His image in our minds. [br]Suddenly, this is a different Jesus.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A different God. I want to ask: Is your [br]God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Is He the God who brought [br]the Israelites out of Egypt?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If not, you’ve made yourself an idol. [br]You are serving a different god.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You’ve done the same as the Israelites. [br]Many people do that today.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They serve a New Testament god, [br]full of grace and mercy.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They say that the Old Testament god was [br]evil. But the Bible is true story.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’ll talk about that later. Three thousand[br]people were killed that day.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’ll talk about that, shortly. Before we [br]continue, I want to remind you of this:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The covenants point to Christ [br]and the New Covenant.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I want to show you these pictures [br]and shadows, that'll become clear to you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’ve looked now at Noah, [br]Abraham and Moses.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
With Noah, the sign of the covenant [br]was the rainbow:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A sign of hope and a new beginning [br]for those who were saved in the ark;

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the rest perished in the waters. [br]With Abraham, circumcision was the sign:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The cutting of the foreskin [br]was a sign of the Covenant

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
- so that the people would [br]not be cut off from the promise.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Instead, they would inherit through [br]Abraham. Now we have Moses.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God gave him stone tablets [br]with His laws written down:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The Israelites first needed [br]to keep His laws.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then God would make them [br]His treasured possession.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A kingdom of priests and a holy [br]nation. Let's look at Christ here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
With Noah: “In Christ, we are now saved [br]from the waters (symbolizing baptism).

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We leave behind the old life and [br]embrace hope for eternal life.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The ark is like Christ, in whom we are [br]now saved. We put off that old life.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We are saved through the water. [br]Now, we have hope and eternal life.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Abraham and the circumcision: In [br]Christ, we have circumcision of the heart.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We will inherit as children of Abraham. [br]Moses and the stone tablets: In Christ:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God has written His laws on our hearts. [br]We can become God's treasured possession.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A kingdom of priests and a holy nation. [br]This is so beautiful.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Each covenant adds another part to the [br]picture of what we have in Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now, I’ll talk about some things [br]in the New Testament.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
After that, we’ll return to the Old [br]Testament. Hebrews 9: “But when Christ

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
came as high priest of the good [br]things that are now already here,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he went through the greater [br]and more perfect tabernacle”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Christ came as high priest and went [br]through a greater, more perfect tabernacle

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“that is not made with human hands, that [br]is to say, is not a part of this creation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He did not enter by means of [br]the blood of goats and calves;

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but he entered into the Most Holy Place [br]once for all by his own blood,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
thus obtaining eternal redemption. The [br]blood of goats and bulls and the ashes…”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
could only clean people on the outside. [br]All the things we have read about:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Moses, the tabernacle, the priestly [br]garments, the high priest and the Sabbath.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
These are all pictures and shadows [br]of a new reality that is in Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He who went through the real tabernacle [br]in heaven. We read here: “How much more,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
then, will the blood of Christ, who [br]through the eternal Spirit offered himself

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
unblemished to God, cleanse our [br]consciences from acts that lead to death,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so that we may serve the living God!”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Offerings of goats and calves and their [br]blood could not cleanse the conscience.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But Christ did. It's not external.[br]It's an internal thing, that is deep:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“For this reason, Christ is the mediator [br]of a new covenant, that those who are

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
called may receive the promised eternal [br]inheritance - now that he has died as

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a ransom to set them free from the sins [br]committed under the first covenant.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’ll go on to explain this. “Now if you [br]obey me fully and keep my covenant,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
then out of all nations you will [br]be my treasured possession…

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you will be for me a kingdom of [br]priests and a holy nation.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That was God’s command. [br]Did the Israelites fully obey God?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
No. Did they break His laws? Yes. [br]Have you fully obeyed God? No.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Have you broken His laws? Yes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That means that if it depended on you, you[br]wouldn’t become a treasured possession.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Nor a kingdom of priests. Nor a holy [br]nation. You didn’t keep the conditions.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But Christ did. In Him, we’re forgiven. [br]In Him, we’re grafted in.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In Him, we’re free. In Him, [br]this belongs to us.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What did Peter say to the church [br]of Jewish and Gentile believers?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The same is true of born-again Jewish [br]and Gentile believers today:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“But you are a chosen people, [br]a royal priesthood, a holy nation,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God's special possession, that you may [br]declare the praises of him who called you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
out of darkness into his wonderful light. [br]Once you were not a people,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but now you are the people of God; [br]once you had not received mercy,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but now you have received mercy.” When [br]you understand this it’s really beautiful.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The law could not do this. We all [br]failed. We’ve all broken the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But Christ kept it. In him, we [br]become what God said. In Christ:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’re God's chosen people, [br]a royal priesthood, and a holy nation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’re God's special possession. I want to [br]say this: God hasn’t forgotten the Jews.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’ll talk about the Jews, shortly. [br]The promise is still for them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But this is our reality now, in Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But not everyone in a church [br]building, is part of the church.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Not everyone who professes [br]a faith in God, is a child of God.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Not everyone who confesses Jesus, actually[br]obeys Jesus. This is really important.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The promise is real. But to receive it, [br]you need to be fully born again.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You need to live this new life. [br]You need to be in Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then, this will be your reality. [br]Let's continue reading Hebrews:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“It was necessary, then, for [br]the copies of the heavenly things

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to be purified with these sacrifices”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What were the tabernacle in the desert, [br]the sacrifices and the offerings?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They were copies of the heavenly things.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“For Christ did not enter a sanctuary [br]made with human hands”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, he wasn’t like the other priests. That[br]earthly sanctuary was a copy, a picture.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was different. “that was only a copy of[br]the true one; he entered heaven itself”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We need to understand this. Let’s continue[br]reading. Hebrews is an amazing book.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The author wrote about offerings. [br]Then it’s written:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Just as people are destined to die once, [br]and after that to face judgment,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so Christ was sacrificed once to [br]take away the sins of many;

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and he will appear a second time, [br]not to bear sin, but to bring salvation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to those who are waiting for [br]him.” Remember this:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
At the time of Moses, [br]the tabernacle was temporary.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was a copy of the real heavenly one. [br]Like everything else, it points to Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This will get clearer as we continue. [br]Now, we'll return to the events in Exodus.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Moses came down the mountain. [br]The Israelites had made a golden calf.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We read about the events beforehand: “When[br]the people saw that Moses was so long

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in coming down from the mountain, [br]they gathered around Aaron and said,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Come make us gods who will go before us. [br]As for this fellow Moses who brought us

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
up out of Egypt, we don’t know [br]what has happened to him.””

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then they took the gold rings off that [br]their wives, sons, and daughters wore.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They brought them to Aaron. [br]“He took what they handed him and made it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
into an idol cast in the shape of a calf. [br]He shaped it with a tool. Then they said,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“This, Israel, is your god who brought [br]you out of the land of Egypt.””

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Try to imagine the situation. [br]God had brought them out.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now they’d made a golden calf [br]that had no connection with Yahweh.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The LORD had brought them out. [br]They said of the golden calf:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is Yahweh who brought us out. [br]They called it by His name:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Tomorrow there will be a festival [br]to the LORD.” to Yahweh.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They worshipped Him, in the [br]form of a golden calf.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“So the next day the people rose early [br]and sacrificed burnt offerings…

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then the people sat down to eat and [br]drink, and then they got up to play.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
People do this today. We call an idol [br]using God’s name. But He's not the same.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's scary. I could take ten Christians in[br]a line and ask them to say who God is.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In some cases, they’ll have weird ideas. [br]They are not serving the same god.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Not the God who brought [br]the people out of Egypt.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They’ve made an image of a god [br]in their minds, that suits them:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Oh, no, my God isn’t like that. He’s[br]like this” “Then the LORD said to Moses,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Go down, because your people, [br]whom you brought up out of Egypt,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
have become corrupt. They have been [br]quick to turn away from what

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I commanded them and have made themselves [br]an idol cast in the shape of a calf.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They have bowed down to it and [br]sacrificed to it and have said,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“This, Israel, is your god who brought [br]you out of the land of Egypt.””

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, God sees everything. He saw exactly [br]what they were doing.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“I have seen these people,” [br]the LORD said to Moses.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“and they are a stiff-necked people.” [br]Notice what He said here:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Now leave me alone so that my anger may [br]burn against them that I may destroy them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then I will make you into a great nation.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When this happened, God wanted to destroy [br]Israel, those he saved out of Egypt.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They’d slaughtered the Passover lambs. [br]He’d passed over their houses.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They’d went through the Red Sea. A few [br]weeks later, He was ready to destroy them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But He wouldn’t destroy all of them. Why? [br]Because He’d made a promise to Abraham.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He'll keep that – to make Abraham [br]into a great nation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But whom will He keep the promise with? [br]He wanted to destroy the Israelites.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then He said, “I will make you, Moses, [br]into a great nation.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It’s important to understand this: God [br]gave a promise to Abraham. He'll keep it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God is a promise keeper. But with whom? [br]With Abraham’s descendants.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But not every descendant of Abraham [br]is a child of Abraham, in that sense.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Here, He was ready to destroy everyone [br]and then keep His promise with Moses.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God is faithful and will do everything[br]He has said. But the question is:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Are you part of that or not? Are we [br]part of what God wants to do?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God will do what He’s promised to Abraham,[br]Isaac, Jacob, David and Jesus.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But the question is, are we a part of [br]that? Let's learn from this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let’s have a healthy fear of God in our[br]lives, so we won't be cut off.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Many Israelites were cut off when these [br]events happened. Moses interceded:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“But Moses sought the favour of the [br]LORD his God. “LORD,” he said,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“why should your anger burn against your [br]people, whom you brought out of Egypt

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with great power and a mighty hand? [br]Why should the Egyptians say,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“It was with evil intent that he brought [br]them out to kill them in the mountains and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to wipe them off the face of the earth”?[br]Turn from your fierce anger; relent

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and do not bring disaster on your people.”[br]Moses interceded “Remember your servants

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to whom [br]you swore by your own self:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“I will make your descendants as numerous [br]as the stars in the sky and I will give

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
your descendants all this land I [br]promised them… Then the Lord relented

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and did not bring on his people [br]the disaster he had threatened.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Reading how Moses interceded, [br]reminds us of something:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Wickedness was all over the earth [br]but Noah found favour.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God wanted to destroy the Israelites [br]but Moses interceded.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The whole world will be destroyed, [br]but Christ can save us from that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is a picture of Christ, who stood [br]in the gap for us. It's really beautiful.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Moses intercedes and later [br]went down from the mountain:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“When Moses approached the camp and saw [br]the calf and dancing, his anger burned,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and he threw the tablets out of his [br]hands, breaking them into pieces…”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He also destroyed the golden calf. [br]Joshua was also there. We read:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“that day about three thousand [br]of the people died.” This is interesting.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What is the clear message here?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
As soon as the Old Covenant law [br]was given, 3,000 people died.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
As soon as the New Covenant Spirit [br]was given, 3,000 received new life.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is all connected. [br]This all points to Christ. Exodus 32:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“The next day Moses said to the people, [br]“You have committed a great sin.””

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
By this time, around 3,000 people had [br]been killed. Moses said to the rest:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“You have committed a great sin. [br]But now I will go up to the LORD;

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
perhaps I can make atonement [br]for your sin.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So Moses went back to the LORD [br]and said, “Oh, what a great sin

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
these people have committed! [br]They have made themselves gods of gold.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But now, please forgive their sin”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then Moses interceded in an amazing [br]and beautiful way: “but if not,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
then blot me out of the book you have [br]written.” Moses really stood in the gap.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He said, “Either forgive them or blot me [br]out of the book.” What a man! “The LORD

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned [br]against me I will blot out of my book.””

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now, we read about the book of life.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Books will be opened at the great [br]judgment, at the great judgment seat:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
At the end of Revelation. I’ll talk about [br]these books later in this series.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's possible to be blotted out of the [br]book of life. People say today:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“If your name is written in the book [br]of life, everything is fine.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That’s true if your name is there and [br]stays there. But what is very clear here?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That a person can be blotted out of God's [br]book. Then God said to Moses: “Now go,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
lead the people to the place I spoke of, [br]and my angel will go before you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
However, when the time comes for me to [br]punish, I will punish them for their sin.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So about 3,000 people died right away. In [br]Lesson 3 (‘Called-out’), I explained this:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The sinful generation didn’t enter the [br]promised land, but later punished.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's a very clear picture of our salvation[br]journey. Someone commented on Lesson 3

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(‘Called-out’): “Yeah, but you can’t use [br]the example of the promised land.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There were giants in the promised land.” [br]Yeah, we can use that example.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What will happen when Jesus sets up [br]God’s kingdom on earth?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He will need to deal with some things [br]at the beginning. We’ll take the land.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
People will submit under Jesus’ Lordship [br]and rule. All will bow down at His feet.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But there’ll be a time of judgment. The [br]righteousness will bring peace on earth.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It'll be cleaned up. It won’t just happen, [br]from one day to another.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Those of us who are there, will receive [br]heavenly bodies and rule with him.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There’ll be a time of cleaning up. Giants [br]in the land is a really good picture.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Other good pictures are possessing, [br]taking and subduing the land.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’ll talk about the promised land [br]in a later lesson.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But the Israelites didn’t enter because [br]of disobedience. God is very serious.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Sometimes, judgment come right away [br]and sometimes it’s delayed.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This should really create a fear of God [br]in our lives, a healthy fear of God.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
After this God called Moses up the [br]mountain again. “The LORD said to Moses,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Cut out for yourself two stone tablets [br]like the first ones, and I’ll write on

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the tablets the words which were on [br]the first tablets which you broke.””

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So there were two sets of tablets. [br]The first set of tablets were destroyed.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then God called Moses up again [br]and said, “Cut out two new tablets.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I will write the same on them.” [br]This is very interesting.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God wrote on the first tablets. Later, [br]Moses made new ones. God wrote on those.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This points forward to God writing [br]His law on new tablets.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He is writing His law on our hearts, [br]not with written code on stone tablets.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He is writing on our hearts by His Spirit.[br]This is all about the gospel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It points to Christ, to the time we are[br]living in and to God’s kingdom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Many years after Moses, Jeremiah [br]prophesied this: “The days are coming,”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
declares the LORD, “when I will make a [br]new covenant with the people of Israel

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and with the people of Judah. It will [br]not be like the covenant”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, it’s not just a continuation of the [br]Mosaic covenant. It’s different:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“It will not be like the covenant I made [br]with their ancestors when I took them

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
by the hand to lead them out of Egypt.” [br]Why will it be different? “because

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they broke my covenant, though I was [br]a husband to them,” declares the LORD.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, it’s a New Covenant. They broke [br]the other one.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“This is the covenant I'll make with the [br]people of Israel” With Israel the nation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now, we’re grafted in and have received [br]it in Christ. I’ll talk about it later.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“After that time” declares the LORD. “I'll[br]put my law in their minds and write it”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on stone tablets? No, He’d already done [br]that and it hadn’t worked.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The law, written externally, brought [br]death. It didn't work.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You cannot obey a law as an [br]external written code.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's to be written on the heart. Or [br]it won't work: “write it on their hearts.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'll be their God, and they'll be my [br]people. No longer will they teach

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
their neighbour, or say to one [br]another, “Know the LORD””

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We don’t need a human priest in order [br]to have a relationship with God: "because

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they will all know me, from the least of [br]them to the greatest,” declares the LORD.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“For I will forgive their wickedness [br]and will remember their sins no more.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Ezekiel prophesied similar things around [br]the same time. He added some things:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“I will give them an undivided HEART [br]and put a new spirit in them;”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, we read about God writing [br]the law on our hearts.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We read about an undivided heart [br]and a new spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“I will remove from them their [br]heart of stone”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
- God won’t write His law on a heart [br]of stone. He will remove that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He'll then write on a new heart by the [br]Spirit - “and give them a heart of flesh.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is not a license for us to sin: “Then[br]they will follow my decrees and be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
careful to keep my laws. They will [br]be my people, and I will be their God.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God writes His laws on our hearts, [br]so that we can obey Him.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Not so we can continue sinning. He did it,[br]so we can be holy as our Father is holy.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now you may kiss your bride.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now you can enter into a covenant [br]and be one flesh in a marriage.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can’t do that if your heart [br]is not transformed.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It has to come from your heart, [br]not from an external law: “You may not….”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
No, we need a changed heart. [br]We’ll look at that later.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I have some more slides here[br]before we shortly have a break.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I want to talk more here about [br]Israel as a nation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The fact is, the law of Moses was [br]never actually given to Gentiles.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was given to Israel as a nation. [br]These are not laws for me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They were for Israel as a nation. But in [br]Christ, I am grafted into the promise.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I am not part of the physical [br]nation of Israel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But I have been grafted into the [br]promise in a spiritual sense.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I talked about in previous lessons. So[br]now, we’re a holy people. We’re called out.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’re God's possession. But that doesn’t [br]mean that God has rejected Israel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I want to talk about that before we move [br]on. Romans 11:25-29 is very important.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Paul writes: “Brothers and sisters, here [br]is a mystery I want you to understand.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It'll keep you from being proud.” But [br]many people have rejected the Jews.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They’re very proud: “We’re now the [br]people of God. I am a holy nation.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But it's only because of Christ that [br]you are. So please don't be proud.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Remember this: “Part of Israel” not all of[br]Israel. There are people who love Jesus.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They are born again and follow [br]the Messiah Jesus.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Part of Israel has refused to obey [br]God.” We see this today.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“That will continue until the full number [br]of non-Jews has entered God's kingdom.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, at the moment they still reject [br]God as a whole.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This will continue until we as [br]Gentiles have come in.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This will create jealousy and so on. [br]“And so all Israel will be saved.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There’s a hardness right now. But there’ll[br]be a time when all Israel will be saved.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“It is written, “The One who saves [br]will come from Mount Zion.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He will remove sin from Jacob.” [br]God has said that. He’ll do it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Here is my covenant with them. [br]I will take away their sins.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, this covenant has been given [br]to the Jews. This is for our good:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“As far as the gospel is concerned, [br]the people of Israel are enemies.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So many of the Jews are enemies. [br]They're not in the New Covenant.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God’s laws are not yet written [br]on their hearts.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They haven’t received the spirit, nor are [br]obeying God's laws as a whole.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They’re enemies according to the gospel. [br]“But as far as God's choice is concerned,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the people of Israel are loved.” [br]They’re still called.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“That is because of God's promises [br]to the founders of our nation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God does not take back his gifts.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He does not change his mind [br]about those he has chosen.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, the nation of Israel is still [br]chosen and called.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God’ll establish a new covenant [br]with them, in their hearts.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But right now, this belongs to us. [br]Each one of us can receive it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A new covenant where the law is written [br]on the heart. I will be their God.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They'll be my people. Then they'll follow [br]my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
All will know me and I will [br]remember their sins no more.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’re talking here about [br]following God’s law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, should we go back and do everything [br]God spoke to Israel as a nation? No.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That law was given to Israel as a nation. [br]I'm not a Jew and never have been.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm a Gentile. But I'm following Christ [br]and His word.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We need to understand that there [br]is a change in the law. Hebrews 7:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We read here that Jesus is in the [br]priestly order of Melchizedek.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There is a change in the priesthood. [br]Please read it yourself.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“For when the priesthood is changed, [br]the law must be changed also.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Because of this change, we’re not bound [br]to the written code given to Moses.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Instead, we’re bound to the law of Christ.[br]The law of God's written on our hearts.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let’s read a few verses from Romans. [br]There’ll be a break shortly.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“A person is not a Jew who is one only [br]outwardly, nor is circumcision merely

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
outward and physical. No, a person is a [br]Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is circumcision of the heart, by the [br]Spirit, not by the written code.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That was the Pharisees’ problem. [br]Jesus said this to them: “Woe to you,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
teachers of the law and Pharisees, [br]you hypocrites! You clean the outside of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the cup and dish, but inside they are [br]full of greed and self-indulgence.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside [br]of the cup and dish,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and then the outside also will be clean.” [br]Our hearts need to be transformed.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The law is not written on books or [br]tablets, but on the heart.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Of course, we have a physical Bible. [br]God is speaking to us.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But we are loosed from the law of Moses.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’ll talk more about that after the break [br]and read more of Romans 6 and 7.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In Romans 7, we read: “But now, by dying[br]to what once bound us (the law),

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we have been released from the law so [br]that we serve in the new way of the Spirit

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and not in the old way of the written [br]code.” We’ve been released from the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now we can serve in a new way. [br]The covenant with Moses was everlasting.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
However, it has changed (in Christ). [br]It's not written on stone tablets.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It’s being written on our hearts, not as [br]a written code. The new way of the Spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
From law to grace. From death to life. [br]I’ll talk more about that after the break.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's extremely important. I believe that [br]this will set you free.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You’ll understand that you don't need to [br]be under the law anymore.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can be under grace. You can walk in [br]freedom and listen to the Spirit in you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So let's take a break here [Music] We’re [br]back again. This’ll be very interesting.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I hope you're ready for this. We’ll read [br]in Romans. We see the cross here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I already talked about it in Romans 6. [br]But we’ll read it again.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Bear the law of Moses in mind: “Don’t [br]touch this. Don’t eat that food etc.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Romans 6: “Or don’t you know that all of [br]us who were baptized into Christ Jesus

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
were baptized into his death?” So, a [br]death takes place when we are baptized.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’re baptized into Christ’s death. [br]Death is important. Bear that in mind.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“We were therefore buried with him [br]through baptism into death in order that,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
just as Christ was raised from the dead [br]through the glory of the Father,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we too may live a new life.” We’re [br]baptized into His death. That’s important.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Why? Because we’re only bound [br]to a law, as long as you live.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But when we die, we’re loosed from that[br]law. Romans 6 and 7 focus on that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Because anyone who had died [br]has been set free from sin.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But this is not only about sin. [br]The law is connected with sin.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Here’s something important. Romans 7: [br]“Do you not know, brothers and sisters

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
- for I am speaking to those who know [br]the law - that the law has authority

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
over someone only as long as that person[br]lives? For example, by law a married woman

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is bound to her husband as long as he is [br]alive, but if her husband dies, she is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
released from the law that binds her to [br]him.” Why does Paul write about this?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Romans 6 - 8 is about the new life and [br]freedom from the law of sin and death.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Paul not only teaches about marriage [br]and divorce, but also about the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It’s an example to show this: We’re [br]bound to the law as long as we live.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But we can read beforehand that we're [br]baptized into Christ, into His death.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The baptism is a death. The law was [br]never given to me as a Gentile.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm not physically part of Israel. [br]I was without hope in this world.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I was lost without hope and without God. [br]But the law is also spiritual.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In that sense, it’s working in everyone.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When we start to sin, [br]you become a slave to that sin.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The law is at work in a way [br]we don’t realise.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
To take an example, imagine that [br]you’re going to stay at someone’s house.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The person says, “Hey, you can stay at [br]my house. Here's the kitchen.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Just take some breakfast in the morning. [br]Here are all the things you can take.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can eat anything you want. But [br]you’re not allowed to open this closet.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It’s very important [br]that you don’t open it.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If someone tells you not to [br]do something, what happens?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You’ll think, “Why can’t I [br]open that closet?”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When we’re told not to do something, [br]something happens inside us.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
For example, imagine a man [br]going to a Walmart.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Before he goes in, he repeats to himself, [br]“Don’t look with lust on a woman”.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What will happen? He’ll go in [br]and continue thinking of that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In the end, he’ll look at a woman. It does[br]not work. That law doesn't bring freedom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Christ brings freedom. If we’re bound to[br]the law of sin and death, it works in us.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’re bound to that law as long as [br]we live. That's why we need to die.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Read Romans 6 about dying to [br]the law. We’re dead to the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We're not under the law. We are freed [br]or loosed from the law. We read here:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“For sin shall no longer be your master” [br]Sin won’t have authority over us. Why not?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Because the law only has authority [br]over a person as long as he lives.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But in baptism, we die. [br]It's no longer we who live, but Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So the law of sin and death [br]has no authority over me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“For sin shall no longer be [br]your master” Why not?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“because you are not under the law” [br]You’re dead to the law “but under grace”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, the law came with Moses. [br]Grace and truth came with Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Many people try to follow Christ [br]by trying to keep the law of Moses.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They don’t realise that they’ve [br]been loosed from that law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That's when they were baptized into [br]Christ. They entered into a new covenant.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It’s not about the written code written [br]on stones, what's written on your heart.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That’s where true freedom is. Let’s move [br]on: Under the law, sin was our master.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Under grace, you're baptized into Christ. [br]You’re dead to the law, alive in Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You’re free from the law and the sin [br]that once kept you enslaved.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you’re a slave to sin, [br]you’re still not under grace.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Remember that true grace [br]is not a cover up for sin.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
True Grace empowers us to [br]live a new life, free from sin.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can still be a Christian [br]and have your mind set on Egypt.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That’s because you’ve never really left.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's time to leave and [br]live a new life by the Spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’m saying here that many Christians [br]are still under the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They’re still trying to obey [br]the law instead of living by the spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They’re not living [br]the new way of the spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Their minds are still set on the old ways [br]of Egypt. They’re never really left.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They haven’t experienced the freedom, [br]with the law written on their hearts.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The ministry we bring, [br]should set people free.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Paul wrote about this ministry [br]we’ve been given. 2 Corinthians 3:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“You show that you're a letter from [br]Christ, the result of our ministry,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
written not with ink but with the Spirit [br]of the living God, not on tablets of stone

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but on tablets of human hearts.” Our [br]ministry's different from Moses' law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That was the old covenant written on [br]stones. Now, we have a new ministry.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A new way. God’s laws are written on the [br]heart by the spirit of the Living God.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Paul continues: “Now if the ministry [br]that brought death”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What happened when the law of Moses [br]was given? 3,000 died right away.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
His ministry brought death that "was [br]engraved in letters on stone, came with

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
glory, so that the Israelites could[br]not look steadily at the face of Moses

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because of its glory, transitory though it[br]was, will not this ministry of the Spirit

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
be even more glorious?” Of course. “If[br]the ministry that brought condemnation”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
bringing death and condemnation “was [br]glorious, how much more glorious is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the ministry that brings righteousness!”[br]We have the ministry of the new covenant.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This doesn't bring condemnation. [br]It can truly cleanse our conscience.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It can bring righteousness. Then [br]we’re free, not to live in condemnation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’re free from the law, free [br]to live by the spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You need to receive this through [br]the new birth, by faith.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm going to share a personal testimony [br]and experience shortly:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Therefore, since we have such a hope, [br]we are very bold. We are not like Moses,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who would put a veil over his face to [br]prevent the Israelites from seeing the end

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of what was passing away.” So, the [br]law of Moses was passing away.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Moses’ face was veiled, so the Israelites [br]wouldn’t see it. "But their minds were

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
made dull, for to this day the same veil [br]remains when the old covenant is read.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Also today when people read about [br]Moses and the old Covenant,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
there’s a veil over their faces. [br]So, they don’t understand it:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“It has not been removed, because [br]only in Christ is it taken away.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Many read the law in the Bible. They have[br]a blindness. They don’t understand it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Only in Christ, is the blindness taken [br]away. Some people have a fear.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They say: “We need law. If we don’t, [br]people will live in sin.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But what happened with the law? Did [br]the law help people to live holy lives?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Did the Israelites live holy lives because[br]they had the law? No.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But God gave a new spirit and [br]wrote a new law in our hearts.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, we’ll obey God's decree and follow His[br]laws. How do we live that holy life?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Not by following Moses, but by following [br]Christ by the spirit. Paul continues:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, [br]the veil is taken away.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the [br]Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Freedom. You need to receive this by [br]the Spirit. Here's some examples.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I heard the gospel for the first time [br]from my friend Tommy.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I told him, he was brainwashed. I couldn't[br]see it. I said, he was brainwashed.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was wrong. He was in a cult. [br]He should be careful.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I thought that he was crazy [br]and brainwashed. I thought:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I needed to help him and save him out [br]of that cult. I didn't understand.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A few days later, I got born again. [br]My eyes opened. The veil was taken away.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then my father told me, “Torben, [br]you’re brainwashed. It’s a cult.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My father couldn’t see it. Why? Because [br]he still had a a veil over his face.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He couldn’t see it. I told him, “Father, [br]you’re saying what I said to Tommy.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But it's the truth. I see it now.” Before [br]I was blinded, like my father was blinded.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But some years later, he repented. [br]Then he saw it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This happens when someone truly repents [br]and is born again. Their eyes open.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
However, my mind was still set on Egypt [br]for the first years of my Christian life.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I did not understand that I had buried [br]the old life in the baptism.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That I had died to the law of sin and [br]death, and wasn’t bound to it anymore.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I was free from sin. I didn't need [br]to be a slave anymore.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
During the first six years of my [br]Christian life, I was repenting.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The law was written on my heart.[br]I had received a new spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Many things in my life changed. [br]But in some areas, I was not free.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I kept falling into the same sins. I felt,[br]I was becoming a slave of sin again.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I was not free. Then one day I read [br]Romans 6. I really understood it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God revealed it to me by the Spirit: [br]“Hey, I'm dead to the law! I'm free!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I don't need to sin anymore! [br]The law is spiritual!”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, this broke down something [br]wrong inside me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I realised, I wasn’t not under the [br]law of sin and death anymore.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm free to follow Christ. This gave [br]me a totally new freedom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've been free ever since for many years.[br]It doesn't mean that I'm sinless.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We can still do wrong things. [br]But then we feel convicted right away.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We ask God for forgiveness. He’s[br]faithful to forgive us. Then we move on.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm not bound. I don’t ask forgiveness, [br]to repeat the sin 2 weeks later.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I don’t feel like a slave to sin. No. [br]I feel free. I'm not focused on the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm don’t do into a mall, tell myself [br]repeatedly “Don't look at woman” and fail.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm free to go into the mall. I focus [br]on Christ. I don’t think like this:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Don't touch! Don't watch! Don't do [br]this or that!” I'm free to follow Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You need a revelation so you can [br]really experience that freedom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can love Jesus, walk by the spirit,[br]occasionally doing something wrong.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I don't have the ten commandments [br]written in my phone or on a poster.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Why not? Because I'm not under [br]the law. It's written in my heart.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm following Christ and obeying [br]His words. I read His words.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But if I do, say or think something wrong,[br]I feel it right away: “Oh, I know it.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
No one needs to teach me to know the Lord [br]and to do different things. I know Him.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I feel it in my heart. Why? The law’s [br]written on my heart. I am convicted.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
From this perspective, the Christian [br]life is actually really easy:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Don't follow the law of Moses. Listen [br]to Christ and obey His word.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Listen to the Spirit, God has [br]given you. Follow the Holy Spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If Holy Spirit says, “Don't say that. [br]Don't look at that. Don’t look at this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Don’t look at that” then stop doing it. [br]Listen to the Spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let the Spirit guide you through [br]the wilderness toward the promised land.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let the Holy Spirit guide you. [br]God speaks to us about different things.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We really need to follow God [br]and live in that freedom. 1 Corinthians:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“He has made us competent [br]as ministers of a new covenant, not

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of the letter but of the Spirit; for the[br]letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The letter kills, [br]but the Spirit gives life.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What happened when the law was given [br]on Mount Sinai? 3,000 were killed.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What happened when the Spirit [br]was given on Pentecost in Jerusalem?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Three thousand received new life. The[br]letter kills but the Spirit gives life.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We read that in Acts 2: “Those who [br]accepted the message were baptized,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and about three thousand were [br]added to their number that day.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When did that happen? On Pentecost, [br]Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
At that time, Israelites from all over [br]Israel came to Jerusalem to celebrate:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The giving of the law. It happened on [br]that day, not a week or month before.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, when we read about Moses and the [br]law, we read about temporary things.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
These are just pictures that point [br]to Christ and the New Covenant.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Today, we are under the New Covenant.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Sadly, many people today prefer [br]following the law than the Spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They don't have the Spirit. So, they [br]follow the law. You need to be born again.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You need the Holy Spirit. It must come [br]from your heart. Walking by the Spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Live a life with a clean conscience.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you step out of God's plan, [br]you’ll feel it in your heart.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then you must return to the narrow road.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But if you stop listening to the Spirit [br]and go into the law, you’ll become bound.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You’ll walk away from Christ and the road [br]that leads to righteousness.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've seen so many people start in the [br]spirit but end in the flesh under the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We are loosed from the law. [br]I don't keep the Sabbath. People tell me,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“You need to keep the Sabbath.” [br]They only read some of the verses.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What did God say? Keep the Sabbath. [br]Have one day of rest per week.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
No, he also told them to work six days.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But most people I know who are eager [br]to keep Sabbath, don’t work six days.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They work five days. Why do they do that? [br]How can people say,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Oh, we keep the Sabbath. This is [br]our Sabbath” if they only work five days?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God didn’t say that. He told them [br]to work six days and take one day off.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This law was never given to Gentile. [br]It was given to the Israelites.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This doesn’t mean, I can’t learn from it. [br]It is important. I do some things.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Sometimes the Holy Spirit tells me to rest[br]one day. I have a day that I take off.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I don't work seven days and then start [br]a new week of seven days. We need rest.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But this is not because of the Mosaic [br]law. It’s not an obligation or a law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It’s nothing to do with righteousness.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It just shows us that God want us [br]also to rest and take time with him.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Don't be too busy. We need to [br]understand this rightly.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But some people are so fixed on [br]keeping the Mosaic law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But the Sabbath law said that people [br]shouldn’t light a fire on that day.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Do you do that? At that time, they [br]lit fires using wood.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Do you turn on the oven on the Sabbath?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you start going down that road, [br]you’ll suddenly become bound.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you keep a little of the law, [br]you’re obligated to keep it all.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Christ kept it for us, to set us free from[br]the law: Not that we could live in sin.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was so we could walk by the Spirit in [br]freedom. Listen to this. Romans 2:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“All who sin apart from the law will [br]also perish apart from the law,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and all who sin under the law [br]will be judged by the law.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, if we sin apart from the law [br]we’ll perish apart from the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If we sin under the law, we’ll be [br]judged by the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This refers to Jews and Gentiles.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“For it is not those who hear the law [br]who are righteous in God's sight,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but it is those who obey the law [br]who will be declared righteous.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have [br]the law” as the law wasn’t given to us

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“do by nature the things required by the [br]law, they are a law for themselves,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
even though they do not have the law.)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They show that the requirements of [br]the law are written on their hearts”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How do we obey the law?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Love God with all your heart and love your[br]neighbour as yourself. What is the law?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What is the heart of the law?[br]“written on their hearts,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
their consciences also bearing witness, [br]and their thoughts sometimes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
accusing them and at other times [br]even defending them.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is extremely important. [br]Gentiles are not under the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was never given to them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’ll still be judged even if we’re [br]not under the law - if we live in sin.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But Gentiles who are born again, have [br]the Christ's law written on the heart.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They have a conscience. [br]The conscience bears witness.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Sometimes our thoughts accuse us [br]and other times they defend us.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm free. I'm free to eat things. [br]I don’t think about the Sabbath.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When I was born again, [br]the law was written on my heart.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I never felt when I made food on a[br]Sabbath (or Saturday): “I can’t do this.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’ve never felt that I can’t do a [br]kickstart or training on that day.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’ve never felt condemned in that [br]area. It's not written on my heart.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It’s the same with head coverings. [br]We need to understand the context.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’ll talk about that later.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've never met anyone who'd just received [br]the Holy Spirit and God’s love, saying:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“The Holy Spirit says that I need to cover[br]my head. I can’t work on the Sabbath.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I have to do this. I can’t play cards. [br]I have to wear a long dress.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I never met someone who said that [br]that is written on their heart.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then they read the law and get confused: [br]“Oh no! I need to do this and that.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Condemnation comes. [br]Then they try to keep the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This leads them away from the [br]pure and narrow road in Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They try to do this, not to do that, [br]not to eat that and all the rest.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But I have been convicted [br]in my heart many times.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I had said, done or looked [br]at something wrong.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
For example, after I got born again, [br]I slept with my girlfriend.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I felt so condemned: What have I done? [br]Red light, red light, sin, sin, sin!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I knew it was sin. I did not need [br]to read it in the Bible.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I hadn’t read that yet, [br]but it was written on my heart.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This happens with so many other things.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
For example, if I say something wrong [br]or reply in anger, I feel condemned.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It happened once when I was in jail. You [br]can read my book, if you haven’t already.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There was a nasty guard in jail, [br]who was not nice.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They came in and checked us, [br]when we were sitting in there.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They scanned our card for their records.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
For a long time, we’d been allowed [br]to leave some food to eat later.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But he suddenly changed all the rules [br]and they took all our food away.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He was nasty. I remember sitting there [br]in my cell. He opened my cell and came in.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He wanted to scan my card.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He had just taken some food away [br]or something like that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I felt irritated. He said, “Give me your [br]card” [Showing irritation] “Here”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He said, “Don't be so nasty.” [br]I just took the card out of his hand.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I was just irritated. Then he moved on.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
As soon as I reacted like that,[br]I felt that it was wrong of me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I asked God to forgive me [br]for reacting like that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I have many examples like that. [br]It’s because of my conscience.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But other times, I stand up, [br]preach and do things.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then my conscience bears [br]witness that all is good.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But other times, I feel that I [br]shouldn’t have done something.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've seen that happening [br]with other people.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When anyone is at the start of their [br]new life, they have a clean conscience.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The Holy Spirit teaches, helps [br]and purifies them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But then I see them suddenly turning [br]away from that, going under the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They start trying to keep the rules [br]and guidelines, and get confused.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That doesn’t lead to holiness.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Suddenly they feel condemned, [br]whereas before they did not:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Oh, I cannot drive. I cannot wear a [br]dress. I have to cover my head.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I cannot do this or that.” They start [br]to feel condemned all the time.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Why? Because they're going [br]back under the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They don't know that they're in a New [br]Covenant and are free from the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I want to do a Q&A video very soon.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I know that many people are asking [br]questions about this topic.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Please come with your questions. [br]I'll do a Q&A video.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lesson 6 will be about Hagar and Sarah.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’ll talk much more about the spirit, the [br]flesh, the law, grace and freedom etc.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’ll go over all of this, because [br]it’s new for many of you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You’re saying, “Torben, [br]what are you saying?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Are you saying that we don't need to [br]obey the law of Moses?” Yes, I am.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Are you saying that we’re just free to [br]live the way we want to?” No, I'm not.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You're free to walk by the spirit. [br]You’re free to listen to your conscience.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Keep your conscience clean, [br]above all things.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If your conscience starts to condemn [br]you, do something about it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But don’t do it in your own strength.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Ask God to give you a revelation [br]of who you are in Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Listen to these verses in 1 John. [br]This lesson is almost finished.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But this is important: “Dear friends, [br]now we are children of God,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and what we will be has not [br]yet been made known.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But we know that when Christ [br]appears, we shall be like him,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for we shall see him as he is. All who [br]have this hope in him” That is our hope.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’re invited to a wedding. We, [br]the bride, need to purify ourselves

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“purify themselves, just as he is pure.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Everyone who sins breaks the law; [br]in fact, sin is lawlessness.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But you know that he appeared so [br]that he might take away our sins.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And in him is no sin. No one who [br]lives in him keeps on sinning.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That is the secret. Live in Christ. “No [br]one who lives in him keeps on sinning.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This doesn’t mean that we can never sin. [br]But we are not to keep on sinning.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That’s not how we live.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“No one who continues to sin has [br]either seen him or known him.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Many people who sit in church [br]buildings, don’t really know Him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
- they keep on sinning.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Dear children, do not let [br]anyone lead you astray.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The one who does what [br]is right is righteous”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's not so much about what we believe, [br]but what we do “just as he is righteous.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The one who does what is sinful [br]is of the devil,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because the devil has been [br]sinning from the beginning.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The reason the Son of God appeared [br]was to destroy the devil’s work.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
No one who is born of God will continue to[br]sin, because God's seed remains in them;”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God’s law is written on our hearts.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
His seed is the Spirit we’ve now [br]received, the word of God.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“they cannot go on sinning because [br]they have been born of God.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's not about praying the sinner's [br]prayer. It's about the new birth.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“This is how we know who the [br]children of God are

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and who the children of the devil are:” [br]The way we live.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Anyone who does not do what [br]is right is not God’s child,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
nor is anyone who does not love [br]their brother and sister.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, let’s close this lesson. [br]What do we need to do?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Repent and be baptized, [br]and receive the Holy Spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then: Know that you are free from [br]the law of sin and death. Pray.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Ask God to reveal this truth to you. [br]You need to live it by faith.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It’s a revelation. I am free. [br]Yes. I don't need to sin anymore.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You are dead to the law. You are free.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Know, you're free from the law of sin and [br]death that once bound and enslaved you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Believe it. Understand that Christ [br]has set you free.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now walk by the Spirit in a new life. [br]Paul wrote so clearly about the law:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Though I am free and belong to no one, [br]I have made myself

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a slave to everyone, to win [br]as many as possible.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now, he wrote something interesting here: [br]“To the Jews, I became like a Jew,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to win the Jews. To those under the law, [br]I became like one under the law

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(though I myself am not under the law)”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Paul wrote that he became like them [br]when he was with them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He became like them to win them. [br]But he wasn’t under the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Me, neither. I'm not under the law. [br]I'm free from the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You're free from the law. We are [br]free from the law. Why?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Because we’re dead to the law.[br]The law bound us as long we lived.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But it's no longer I who live, it’s Christ[br]who lives. I'm dead to the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What does that mean, to not be [br]under the law? Are we without law? No.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Paul continues: “To those not having the [br]law, I became like one not having the law

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(though I am not free from God's law [br]but am under Christ’s law)”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Paul wrote in one place that [br]he wasn’t under the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In another place, he said he wasn’t free [br]from God's law, but under Christ’s law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What does that mean? We're not under the [br]law of sin and death, that Moses brought.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But we’re under the law of Christ. [br]What is that?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That is to listen to Him and His word.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Law is not only written commandments [br]written in the Bible.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It is what Jesus said. [br]Read what Jesus said.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Did he say, “If you love me, keep what [br]Moses said.” No, He didn’t say that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He said “If you love me, [br]keep my commands…”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Some people are very eager [br]to keep the Mosaic law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They keep the feasts, the food laws, [br]the Sabbath and the dress code.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But they are not eager to keep Jesus’ law:[br]Love your neighbour as yourself.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Go out and make disciples. [br]Preach the gospel. Obey Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“If you love me, keep my commands.” Jesus [br]said. I need to finish the lesson here:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“So the law” with Moses “was [br]our guardian until Christ came

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that we might be justified by faith.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now that this faith has come, [br]we are no longer under a guardian.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We're now in faith. “So in Christ Jesus, [br]you're all children of God through faith,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for all of you who were baptized into Christ [br]have clothed yourselves with Christ.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We can say it like this: You are [br]baptized into Christ’s death.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Therefore, you're no longer bound to the [br]law. You don't need a guardian anymore.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You are now in Christ. “There is neither [br]Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free…

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you belong to Christ, [br]then you are Abraham’s seed”.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, I’ll finish the lesson now. [br]Old Covenant (Moses): Until Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Law on stone tablets. Written code. [br]Brought death. Could not obey the old way.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
God rejected the whole generation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Did not inherit the Promised Land but [br]Joshua brought the next generation in.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Joshua’s and Jesus’ [br]names are directly related.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Moses could not bring them [br]into the promised land but Joshua did.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The law cannot bring you into the [br]kingdom of God but Jesus can.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The law is good if we use it the rightly: [br]to reveal sin so we can come to Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But in baptism, we die to the law. New [br]Covenant (Jesus): Everlasting covenant.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Law is written on hearts of flesh. [br]New way by the Spirit. Brought life.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Can now obey in the new way.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We’ll one day enter into [br]the Promised Land:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If we are victorious and [br]continue in Christ.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Jesus fulfilled the law’s requirements. [br]We are now: God's treasured possession.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A kingdom of priests. A holy nation. [br]But it's not complete yet.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We will be those things one day [br]when he comes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then we’ll rule with Him here on earth. [br]A few more verses:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“Therefore, there is no condemnation [br]for those who are in Christ Jesus…

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because through Christ Jesus the law [br]of the Spirit who gives life

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
has set us free from the law [br]and sin and death.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When you’re in Christ, you are under the[br]law of the spirit written on your heart.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You’re set free from the law of sin [br]and death.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“For what the law was powerless to do [br]because it was weakened by the flesh, God

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
did by sending his own Son in the likeness[br]of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And so he condemned sin in the flesh, [br]in order that the righteous requirement

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of the law might be fully met in us, [br]who do not live according to the flesh

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but according to the Spirit.” [br]So, get born again. Live by the spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Listen to the Holy Spirit. [br]When your heart condemns you, repent.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Don't try to live by the law of Moses [br]and go under the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That’ll bring condemnation and death. [br]Live in the New Covenant, by the Spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Obey Jesus. If you love Him, [br]keep His commands and you will live.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I’ll pray for you. God, I thank You [br]for everyone who’s seen this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I pray that this will bring freedom to [br]them. Freedom from the law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Freedom to live a holy life [br]as You are holy.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Freedom to live by the Spirit. I pray [br]that everyone will understand this:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When we are baptized, Jesus, we [br]are baptized into Your death.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's no longer I who live, [br]but it's You who lives.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A woman is only bound to the law, [br]as long as that person is alive.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But when we die, we’re loosed [br]from that law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We're free to be married to somebody [br]else. Christ Jesus is our bridegroom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Help us to purify ourselves. [br]Purify us by the Spirit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Help us to walk by the Spirit, [br]without condemnation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then, one day, Jesus, we’ll inherit this [br]earth together with You.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Thank You for what You're doing. I pray [br]that it will bring freedom to people.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Come and speak to people out there [br]through this. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
See you next time. Come with [br]your questions.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'll do a Q&A video soon where I will [br]answer some of them. God bless you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let's live the new life by the Spirit [br]that God has for all of us. Bye bye.
