  • Or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith."
  • 00:01:32.267 --> 00:01:34.269
  • Now the promise,

  • Now the promise, this is god's promise,
  • 00:01:35.237 --> 00:01:36.438
  • Now the promise, this is god's promise, god's promise to abraham that

  • This is god's promise, god's promise to abraham that he will be the heir of the world
  • 00:01:38.674 --> 00:01:40.142
  • God's promise to abraham that he will be the heir of the world was not to abraham

  • He will be the heir of the world was not to abraham or to his seed through the law,

  • Or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
  • 00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:46.448
  • But through the righteousness of faith. so, let's establish first
  • 00:01:46.515 --> 00:01:47.282
  • The righteousness of faith. so, let's establish first and foremost,
  • 00:01:47.349 --> 00:01:48.650
  • So, let's establish first and foremost, abraham we all know,
  • 00:01:48.717 --> 00:01:50.319
  • And foremost, abraham we all know, but who is abraham's seed?
  • 00:01:50.385 --> 00:01:52.254
  • Abraham we all know, but who is abraham's seed? that's you and i,
  • 00:01:52.321 --> 00:01:53.589
  • But who is abraham's seed? that's you and i, we are abraham's seed.
  • 00:01:53.655 --> 00:01:55.724
  • That's you and i, we are abraham's seed. the bible says in galatians
  • 00:01:55.791 --> 00:01:57.192
  • We are abraham's seed. the bible says in galatians if you are christ's then are
  • 00:01:57.259 --> 00:01:58.994
  • The bible says in galatians if you are christ's then are you abraham's seed and you are
  • 00:01:59.061 --> 00:02:01.263
  • If you are christ's then are you abraham's seed and you are heirs according to the promise.
  • 00:02:01.330 --> 00:02:03.365
  • You abraham's seed and you are heirs according to the promise. so from now on, when you see
  • 00:02:03.432 --> 00:02:04.666
  • Heirs according to the promise. so from now on, when you see the word "seed," abraham's seed,
  • 00:02:04.733 --> 00:02:06.201
  • So from now on, when you see the word "seed," abraham's seed, think of yourself, amen?
  • 00:02:06.268 --> 00:02:08.070
  • The word "seed," abraham's seed, think of yourself, amen? because the bible says
  • 00:02:08.136 --> 00:02:09.238
  • Think of yourself, amen? because the bible says you are abraham's seed,
  • 00:02:09.304 --> 00:02:10.806
  • Because the bible says you are abraham's seed, so this promise that
  • 00:02:10.872 --> 00:02:12.107
  • You are abraham's seed, so this promise that he'll be the heir of the world,
  • 00:02:12.174 --> 00:02:13.242
  • So this promise that he'll be the heir of the world, god promised abraham that
  • 00:02:13.308 --> 00:02:14.309
  • He'll be the heir of the world, god promised abraham that he'll be the heir of the world,
  • 00:02:14.376 --> 00:02:15.611
  • God promised abraham that he'll be the heir of the world, it was not a promise
  • 00:02:15.677 --> 00:02:17.212
  • He'll be the heir of the world, it was not a promise through the law, but through
  • 00:02:17.279 --> 00:02:18.180
  • It was not a promise through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
  • 00:02:18.247 --> 00:02:19.314

  • The righteousness of faith. now before that, let's establish again, okay, first and foremost,
  • 00:02:21.183 --> 00:02:22.985

  • The promise is that he will be the heir of the world. as believers, we are not to look
  • 00:02:27.456 --> 00:02:29.891
  • The heir of the world. as believers, we are not to look at the blessings of daniel
  • 00:02:29.958 --> 00:02:32.160
  • As believers, we are not to look at the blessings of daniel or the blessings of david
  • 00:02:32.227 --> 00:02:33.862
  • At the blessings of daniel or the blessings of david or the blessings of isaiah;

  • 00:02:55.284 --> 00:02:56.451
  • Says that's recorded, we know that noah as well, but abraham in a fuller way,

  • We know that noah as well, but abraham in a fuller way, the bible says that abraham
  • 00:02:58.253 --> 00:02:59.655
  • But abraham in a fuller way, the bible says that abraham believed the lord and it was

  • If you lie, there's a consequence. god didn't bless abraham
  • 00:03:45.967 --> 00:03:46.668
  • There's a consequence. god didn't bless abraham because of the lie,
  • 00:03:46.735 --> 00:03:48.036
  • God didn't bless abraham because of the lie, god blessed abraham because
  • 00:03:48.103 --> 00:03:49.237

  • 00:03:53.408 --> 00:03:54.409
  • He was under god's grace, do you understand? that's why we cannot
  • 00:03:54.476 --> 00:03:55.344
  • Do you understand? that's why we cannot look at david.
  • 00:03:55.410 --> 00:03:56.044
  • That's why we cannot look at david. david was punished.
  • 00:03:56.111 --> 00:03:57.145
  • Look at david. david was punished. even though his punishment
  • 00:03:57.212 --> 00:03:58.313
  • David was punished. even though his punishment was tempered with a lot of mercy
  • 00:03:58.380 --> 00:03:59.781
  • Even though his punishment was tempered with a lot of mercy and grace, david is a picture
  • 00:03:59.848 --> 00:04:01.616
  • Was tempered with a lot of mercy and grace, david is a picture of a man under law.
  • 00:04:01.683 --> 00:04:03.318
  • And grace, david is a picture of a man under law. david lived after
  • 00:04:03.385 --> 00:04:04.086
  • Of a man under law. david lived after the ten commandments,
  • 00:04:04.152 --> 00:04:05.520
  • David lived after the ten commandments, post-ten commandments.
  • 00:04:05.587 --> 00:04:06.855
  • The ten commandments, post-ten commandments. you cannot look at other people
  • 00:04:06.922 --> 00:04:08.557
  • Post-ten commandments. you cannot look at other people under the law and say
  • 00:04:08.623 --> 00:04:09.224
  • You cannot look at other people under the law and say that they were punished,
  • 00:04:09.291 --> 00:04:10.225
  • Under the law and say that they were punished, how can we expect any different?
  • 00:04:10.292 --> 00:04:12.160
  • That they were punished, how can we expect any different? no, we have to look at abraham.
  • 00:04:12.227 --> 00:04:14.029
  • How can we expect any different? no, we have to look at abraham. abraham was never punished
  • 00:04:14.096 --> 00:04:16.398

  • 00:12:59.520 --> 00:13:00.355
  • It's all based on, like, what i'm sharing. you know, the church as a whole,
  • 00:13:00.421 --> 00:13:02.824
  • Like, what i'm sharing. you know, the church as a whole, we still don't understand
  • 00:13:02.891 --> 00:13:05.026
  • You know, the church as a whole, we still don't understand the fact that
  • 00:13:05.093 --> 00:13:05.994
  • We still don't understand the fact that we are under grace.
  • 00:13:06.060 --> 00:13:07.128
  • The fact that we are under grace. grace is all about supply,
  • 00:13:07.195 --> 00:13:09.564
  • We are under grace. grace is all about supply, law is all about demand, amen?
  • 00:13:09.631 --> 00:13:13.768
  • Grace is all about supply, law is all about demand, amen? the law was given by moses,
  • 00:13:13.835 --> 00:13:15.637
  • Law is all about demand, amen? the law was given by moses, grace and truth
  • 00:13:15.703 --> 00:13:16.938
  • The law was given by moses, grace and truth came by jesus christ.
  • 00:13:17.005 --> 00:13:18.473
  • Grace and truth came by jesus christ. the law demands righteousness
  • 00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:20.408
  • Came by jesus christ. the law demands righteousness from man, and man could not,
  • 00:13:20.475 --> 00:13:23.311
  • The law demands righteousness from man, and man could not, it's a perfect righteousness,
  • 00:13:23.378 --> 00:13:24.646
  • From man, and man could not, it's a perfect righteousness, but under grace god supplies
  • 00:13:24.712 --> 00:13:25.580
  • It's a perfect righteousness, but under grace god supplies that perfect righteousness
  • 00:13:25.647 --> 00:13:27.615
  • Through christ
  • 00:13:27.682 --> 00:13:30.084
  • Through christ to be received as a gift.
  • 00:13:30.151 --> 00:13:32.020
  • Through christ to be received as a gift. can i have a good amen?
  • 00:13:32.086 --> 00:13:33.054
  • To be received as a gift. can i have a good amen? the bible says that
  • 00:13:33.121 --> 00:13:34.155
  • Look up here, romans 3,
  • 00:13:36.391 --> 00:13:38.059
  • Look up here, romans 3, it says, "being justified."
  • 00:13:38.126 --> 00:13:39.794
  • It says, "being justified." by the way, this is quite
  • 00:13:39.861 --> 00:13:41.195
  • By the way, this is quite amusing for me, because many of
  • 00:13:41.262 --> 00:13:43.965
  • Amusing for me, because many of us know the verse before this,
  • 00:13:44.032 --> 00:13:45.633
  • Us know the verse before this, we do not know this verse.
  • 00:13:45.700 --> 00:13:47.068
  • We do not know this verse. the church as a whole knows
  • 00:13:47.135 --> 00:13:48.336
  • The church as a whole knows the verse before this.
  • 00:13:48.403 --> 00:13:49.137
  • The verse before this. you know what's the verse
  • 00:13:49.203 --> 00:13:49.804
  • You know what's the verse before this?
  • 00:13:49.871 --> 00:13:50.438
  • Before this? let me show you,
  • 00:13:50.505 --> 00:13:51.339
  • Let me show you, "for all have sinned and
  • 00:13:51.406 --> 00:13:53.341
  • "for all have sinned and fall short the glory of god."
  • 00:13:53.408 --> 00:13:55.009
  • Fall short the glory of god." this was our memory verse.
  • 00:13:55.076 --> 00:13:57.145
  • This was our memory verse. when i was in school last time,
  • 00:13:57.211 --> 00:13:58.379
  • When i was in school last time, i memorized this verse, "for
  • 00:13:58.446 --> 00:13:59.414
  • I memorized this verse, "for all have sinned and come short
  • 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:00.381
  • All have sinned and come short the glory of god," all right?
  • 00:14:00.448 --> 00:14:01.783
  • The glory of god," all right? but no one taught me
  • 00:14:01.849 --> 00:14:02.750
  • But no one taught me the verse after, "being
  • 00:14:02.817 --> 00:14:04.619
  • The verse after, "being justified freely by his grace
  • 00:14:04.686 --> 00:14:07.455
  • Justified freely by his grace through the redemption
  • 00:14:07.522 --> 00:14:08.957
  • Through the redemption that is in christ jesus."
  • 00:14:09.023 --> 00:14:10.124
  • That is in christ jesus." now, this word "freely,"
  • 00:14:10.191 --> 00:14:11.292
  • Now, this word "freely," i highlighted that
  • 00:14:11.359 --> 00:14:12.427
  • I highlighted that to show you something.
  • 00:14:12.493 --> 00:14:13.127
  • And dorean means, listen,
  • 00:14:15.229 --> 00:14:17.332
  • And dorean means, listen, dorean means
  • 00:14:17.398 --> 00:14:19.000
  • And dorean means, listen, dorean means freely without a cost.
  • 00:14:19.067 --> 00:14:21.436
  • Dorean means freely without a cost. you know, jesus said
  • 00:14:21.502 --> 00:14:22.704
  • Freely without a cost. you know, jesus said in the upper room on the night
  • 00:14:22.770 --> 00:14:25.206
  • You know, jesus said in the upper room on the night that he was betrayed, he talked
  • 00:14:25.273 --> 00:14:26.474
  • In the upper room on the night that he was betrayed, he talked about the nation of israel
  • 00:14:26.541 --> 00:14:27.875
  • That he was betrayed, he talked about the nation of israel and the way they treated him.
  • 00:14:27.942 --> 00:14:29.077
  • About the nation of israel and the way they treated him. he says that they hated
  • 00:14:29.143 --> 00:14:29.744
  • And the way they treated him. he says that they hated me without a cause.
  • 00:14:29.811 --> 00:14:32.213
  • He says that they hated me without a cause. that phrase, "without a cause,"
  • 00:14:32.280 --> 00:14:33.748
  • Me without a cause. that phrase, "without a cause," is actually dorean,
  • 00:14:33.815 --> 00:14:35.583
  • That phrase, "without a cause," is actually dorean, without a cause.
  • 00:14:35.650 --> 00:14:37.452
  • Is actually dorean, without a cause. so, being justified
  • 00:14:37.518 --> 00:14:38.619
  • Without a cause. so, being justified freely means what?
  • 00:14:38.686 --> 00:14:39.754
  • So, being justified freely means what? we are all justified
  • 00:14:39.821 --> 00:14:40.922
  • Freely means what? we are all justified in god's eyes, made righteous,
  • 00:14:40.989 --> 00:14:42.390
  • We are all justified in god's eyes, made righteous, without a cause in us.
  • 00:14:42.457 --> 00:14:44.859
  • In god's eyes, made righteous, without a cause in us. the cause is not in you.
  • 00:14:44.926 --> 00:14:47.028
  • Without a cause in us. the cause is not in you. there is no reason,
  • 00:14:47.095 --> 00:14:48.329
  • The cause is not in you. there is no reason, all right, that is in you
  • 00:14:48.396 --> 00:14:50.231
  • There is no reason, all right, that is in you that god justifies you,
  • 00:14:50.298 --> 00:14:51.466
  • All right, that is in you that god justifies you, all the cause is in him.
  • 00:14:51.532 --> 00:14:55.436
  • That god justifies you, all the cause is in him. so, right now we still see,
  • 00:14:55.503 --> 00:14:58.106
  • All the cause is in him. so, right now we still see, well, you know, maybe god
  • 00:14:58.172 --> 00:14:59.907
  • So, right now we still see, well, you know, maybe god declares me righteous because
  • 00:14:59.974 --> 00:15:01.509
  • Well, you know, maybe god declares me righteous because i prayed extra today or maybe
  • 00:15:01.576 --> 00:15:04.212
  • Declares me righteous because i prayed extra today or maybe i treated someone good today.
  • 00:15:04.278 --> 00:15:06.748
  • I prayed extra today or maybe i treated someone good today. we are still trying to find
  • 00:15:06.814 --> 00:15:08.082
  • I treated someone good today. we are still trying to find a cause in ourselves,
  • 00:15:08.149 --> 00:15:09.884
  • We are still trying to find a cause in ourselves, but the cause is not in you.
  • 00:15:09.951 --> 00:15:11.686
  • A cause in ourselves, but the cause is not in you. dorean means without any cause,
  • 00:15:11.753 --> 00:15:14.922
  • But the cause is not in you. dorean means without any cause, c-a-u-s-e, not c-o-s-t,
  • 00:15:14.989 --> 00:15:17.125
  • Dorean means without any cause, c-a-u-s-e, not c-o-s-t, without any reason.
  • 00:15:17.191 --> 00:15:18.393
  • C-a-u-s-e, not c-o-s-t, without any reason. the reason is not in you.
  • 00:15:18.459 --> 00:15:20.161
  • Without any reason. the reason is not in you. there's no reason in you for god
  • 00:15:20.228 --> 00:15:21.095
  • The reason is not in you. there's no reason in you for god to declare you righteous,
  • 00:15:21.162 --> 00:15:22.497
  • By one man's disobedience,
  • 00:15:24.599 --> 00:15:26.634
  • By one man's disobedience, adam's disobedience,
  • 00:15:26.701 --> 00:15:27.902
  • Adam's disobedience, many were made sinners.
  • 00:15:27.969 --> 00:15:30.004
  • Many were made sinners. by the obedience of one man,
  • 00:15:30.071 --> 00:15:31.005
  • By the obedience of one man, jesus christ,
  • 00:15:31.072 --> 00:15:32.173
  • Jesus christ, we are all made righteous, amen.
  • 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:35.376
  • We are all made righteous, amen. now,
  • 00:15:35.443 --> 00:15:35.843
  • You all know the first adam,
  • 00:15:37.945 --> 00:15:38.980
  • You all know the first adam, right?

  • Right? the first man, adam. by the way, his wife
  • 00:15:40.715 --> 00:15:41.949
  • The first man, adam. by the way, his wife is the first wife, right?
  • 00:15:42.016 --> 00:15:45.787
  • By the way, his wife is the first wife, right? like, eve asked adam one time,
  • 00:15:45.853 --> 00:15:47.789
  • Is the first wife, right? like, eve asked adam one time, "do you love me?"
  • 00:15:47.855 --> 00:15:49.257
  • Like, eve asked adam one time, "do you love me?" adam says, "who else?"
  • 00:15:49.323 --> 00:15:52.693
  • "do you love me?" adam says, "who else?" if she's like some wives, you
  • 00:15:52.760 --> 00:15:54.896
  • Adam says, "who else?" if she's like some wives, you know, i know when adam is
  • 00:15:54.962 --> 00:15:57.432
  • If she's like some wives, you know, i know when adam is sleeping, she'll probably creep
  • 00:15:57.498 --> 00:15:58.900
  • Know, i know when adam is sleeping, she'll probably creep slowly and then count the number
  • 00:15:58.966 --> 00:16:00.668
  • Sleeping, she'll probably creep slowly and then count the number of his ribs to make sure
  • 00:16:00.735 --> 00:16:02.537
  • Slowly and then count the number of his ribs to make sure that not another one is missing.
  • 00:16:02.603 --> 00:16:05.873
  • Of his ribs to make sure that not another one is missing. well, the first man, adam,
  • 00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:07.842
  • That not another one is missing. well, the first man, adam, that adam sinned against god,
  • 00:16:07.909 --> 00:16:11.012
  • Well, the first man, adam, that adam sinned against god, and as a result
  • 00:16:11.079 --> 00:16:12.146
  • That adam sinned against god, and as a result all were made sinners.
  • 00:16:12.213 --> 00:16:13.781
  • And as a result all were made sinners. by the same token,
  • 00:16:13.848 --> 00:16:15.416
  • All were made sinners. by the same token, the last adam, the second man,
  • 00:16:15.483 --> 00:16:17.285
  • By the same token, the last adam, the second man, all right, the last adam,

  • The federal head brought sin and death into the world, another federal head
  • 00:16:24.959 --> 00:16:25.993
  • And death into the world, another federal head was raised by god, jesus christ.

  • 00:16:30.064 --> 00:16:32.633
  • God sent his son to become a man, to die as a federal head, and then that obedience
  • 00:16:32.700 --> 00:16:34.335
  • A man, to die as a federal head, and then that obedience at the cross,
  • 00:16:34.402 --> 00:16:35.436

  • 00:16:39.674 --> 00:16:42.210
  • We are all made righteous, amen, amen, but the church still has this thinking,
  • 00:16:42.276 --> 00:16:44.412
  • Amen, but the church still has this thinking, i'm righteous until my next sin.
  • 00:16:44.479 --> 00:16:47.515
  • Still has this thinking, i'm righteous until my next sin. let me ask you a question, okay?
  • 00:16:47.582 --> 00:16:49.250
  • I'm righteous until my next sin. let me ask you a question, okay? this is where it really gets
  • 00:16:49.317 --> 00:16:50.284
  • Let me ask you a question, okay? this is where it really gets tough for some people because
  • 00:16:50.351 --> 00:16:51.953
  • This is where it really gets tough for some people because their religious emotions will
  • 00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:53.121
  • Tough for some people because their religious emotions will rise up and they'll fight it.
  • 00:16:53.187 --> 00:16:54.889
  • Their religious emotions will rise up and they'll fight it. when you sin,
  • 00:16:54.956 --> 00:16:56.424
  • Rise up and they'll fight it. when you sin, now i'm not--listen,
  • 00:16:56.491 --> 00:16:58.259
  • When you sin, now i'm not--listen, i'm not against holiness,

  • Now i'm not--listen, i'm not against holiness, i am for holiness.
  • 00:17:00.228 --> 00:17:01.762
  • I'm not against holiness, i am for holiness. i'm not against the law,
  • 00:17:01.829 --> 00:17:03.131
  • I am for holiness. i'm not against the law, i am for the law for the reason
  • 00:17:03.197 --> 00:17:05.900
  • I'm not against the law, i am for the law for the reason god gave the law, and god never
  • 00:17:05.967 --> 00:17:08.035
  • I am for the law for the reason god gave the law, and god never gave the law to justify men by,
