God's purpose in giving the law

You glory. Open up to Romans. The end of the first chapter and you
might put a marker in a couple of places about second. Corinthians
third chapter 6s will also be in the book of Galatians. 6s Hallelujah.
We'll be in the third 4th chapter of Galatian. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Hide. We're going into a time of teaching dividing the law. Bornagain
experience and eventually the difference between that, the law, the
bornagain experience, and the promise that God had made to
Abraham.

In my introduction, basically to this part, I said that one reason that the
book of Romans was locked up to me is because of the teaching I'd
received that some of the greater teachers taught that Romans Seven
was simply a Christian having problems with her flesh. The good that
I'd do, I cannot, and the evil that would do, I end up doing. And they
said it was just believer having problems with his flesh. And because I
believed that for many years, in fact, I'd fluctuate, I'd believe it for a
while. And then I would see something that would seem to convince me
back the other way that it wasn't. It was an unregenerated man, a Jew
particularly, that received the law and couldn't keep it. And so when I
fluctuate back, no, it's just a believer having problems with his flesh. But
when it finally settled in my spirit, what it was that it is an unregenerated
man, a Jew that received the law and could not keep it. And once I
passed over that line and received that for good on the inside of my
spirit, then I was able to back up to Romans and take her all the way
through.

And chapter after chapter began to open up. And not only did it begin to
open up complicated verses, as we're going to explore just a little bit in
Galatians, complicated verses in Corinthians, two corinthians in
particular just very hard for me to understand. They're the kind that
nobody ever preaches on. You know, they're just they've just sat there.
They're real lonesome. Nobody ever reads them unless they're just
reading through the Bible.

And again. That all those verses that are so exciting the works I do,
you'll do also nothing shall be impossible to him that believe it those
exciting verses I found what I need to see them come to pass more so
in the verses nobody teaches on than even the verses that we all teach
on now. Like what Gary said when he was talking about it's expedient
that I go away. If I go not away, the comforter will not come talking
about the works I do, you'll do also and greater works jesus said
because I go to the Father, it's expedient that I go away. And young
Gary was arguing with God it's expedient that you go away. I think it
would have been better that you stay. And even if you had your
headquarters in Jerusalem, at least I could take my mother, who was
dying of any kind of disease, and make an appointment. And even if it
took me three months to get an appointment, maybe even a year or two
to get an appointment, at least I know when I took her over there, she
would get healed. So when he said the works I do, you'll do also, he
meant this.

You know he meant it. That in our inheritance, everything he's made
available to the Church, it is ours. These signs will follow them that
believe to cast devils out, lay hands on the sick, speak with new
tongues. All the signs and wonders. I think our generation needs them
as much as any generation has ever needed them. Well, there's a way
into that full inheritance, but obviously it's not walking down the
traditional limb. You know, if what I'm doing is not producing that,
obviously I shouldn't be smart enough to change what I'm doing. Well, I
have. I have you.

And when he put me on this born again trail, I'll just tell you, I took by
faith what he told me. Until I looked down that path that first time, the
gift of faith seemed to drop on me. When it dropped on me for that little
period of time, I felt like God. I was thinking like God. When I say felt
like, I mean, I felt like I had his faith. I felt like the way that he looked at
things. He doesn't look at things like you look at things.

They're not that kind of problem to Him. And for just a short time, I
knew that. I knew that. I knew looking through God's eyes, I could have
it all. He said, if you'll just walk it out when I first begin to mention it, I'm
thinking, or born again trail. I've seen it, but I couldn't explain it. I knew
that the holy ghost had to back up and get behind what happened to me
in Christ. And that was the only thing he could bring forward.
 It's the only thing that he was qualified to bring forward, authorized to
bring forward. And then a lot of limbs that we've crawled on, he's not in.
They're the limbs that need to be purged. He says, cut off any branch in
me that bears not fruit. It's to your advantage that he cut it off, because
it takes your time, your wrong believing it wastes your life. And the limb
produces had fruit, no fruit. So. Says it's expedient. He says if you bear
fruit, I'll purge you, that you bear more.

He wants everything that Christ is flowing through maximum of what

you are. And I'll tell you again, when he backed up behind that
bornagain experience on that trail, and as I would let Him bring what
I've become in my spirit forward, that was the only time that he could
advance my life. It well, you know, he gave us things to come forward
with, like meditation. I've got something to offer my mind, my will, my
intellect and my emotions to it's the word of God.

I've got something to offer my spirit to praying in the Holy Ghost and
that continual meditation of His Word. And as he brings forth everything
that I've been made in Christ, which is what we've been studying, I've
been born again. What's happened to me? As he's permitted to bring
forward what I've become in Christ, then the earnest of my inheritance
begins to materialize. I mean, my inheritance starts materializing. And
that's when you cannot be stopped.

I mean, you're going to advance. It doesn't matter who you're married

to, who you're not married to, what your circumstances say, who you
are, what you are, what nation, what creed you are, where you are,
doesn't make any difference. Your inheritance is from another world.
Glory be to God, it's taking it out of this one. Doesn't matter. You can
take care of everybody around you because you have faith. And your
father is God. Hallelujah. But as you've seen, traditional limbs of men
have fallen far short of his glory, has it not? Well, now that I'm
beginning to understand this more and more and more, he's opening up
more and more chapters.

And right now I know he wants me to go into to give you an

understanding of the law so it can give you an understanding of the
verses we're about to explore. So it'll finally give you an understanding
that my God, he has set me free from sin and all of its friends. It really
doesn't have dominion over me, does it? Boy, you know, that's such a
good statement with the head. Boy, that is such a good statement. But
it really, really has not lost dominion. And to understand or that it has
lost dominion and understand the degree it's lost it, I mean, to
understand that, then you have to understand this turn of covenant for
the Jew and it's freedom from the law and for us. He simply said sin
does not have dominion over you, does not see in the whole thing with
the law and the change of covenants, the right standing of the law now
can be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. For
what the law couldn't do is weak through the flesh. God sent his Son in
the likeness of sinful flesh and by sacrifice for sin, condemned sin in the
flesh.

Thank God the whole change of covenants was to illustrate the whole
reason for the law was a schoolmaster to school, a spiritually dead man
to the fact he could not quit sinning. He needed a redeemer. Well when
they changed covenant. So you might as well know you're free. Sin
doesn't have dominion over you. It can't make you do anything that you
don't want to do. It can't conquer you. Neither can any of its friends.
Poverty, sickness, disease, depression. Neither can any of its friends.
They do not have dominion over you. And that's the first eight ball that
the Holy Ghost backs up and gets behind.

And he says, if you let me bring this forward, you're going to find out. It
does not have dominion over you. So now, in the first chapter, he
basically describes the destruction of the early world and the world in
general and all the nations and the sin that they was in. So in essence,
the destruction of the early world was caused by. Oh, the epitome of
idolatry, which is homosexuality. All flesh went his way. Satans. So
God destroyed the world and reduced it down to one family. And you'll
have to admit that the knowledge of God was in the whole earth when
Noah got off the ark.

And amen. The knowledge of God was in the whole earth. And now
Paul is teaching salvation. A bunch of the Jews was trying to go back
under the law. They were trying to get the Gentiles to go with them in
Antioch. When Peter was there, some came from the church in
Jerusalem, from James and Peter. He got caught up in a dissimulation
with the Jews. The other Jews, plus Barnabas, who was with him,
jumped up and run off with Peter. And that also spread to the Galatian
church. So Paul spent a lot of his time trying to get the foundation back
to the Church. I firmly believe the reason that Paul was born out of due
season is because after the other apostles who had walked with Jesus
in his natural life, they were trying to go back under the law. Paul born
out of due season, he said, I received this from no man. It was given to
me by the Lord Jesus.

Jesus Christ, his apostle died of due season, and just in time, too,
because even Peter, James, all of them was beginning to go back
under the law. He came back on the scene, and he's the one that put
the brakes on the whole thing and give the Church a backer foundation.
So he's reasoning with the Jews. If you don't understand how he came
in the book of Romans, you have to understand that most of his epistles
was addressing a problem. When you understand the problem they're
addressing, then the revelation begins to flow. And you want to talk
about freedom.

So the Jews was attempting to go back under the law in the Roman
Church as they were in Galatians. So after he outlined basically the
destruction of the early world and the way that the Gentiles lived, then
he enters into the first verse of the second chapter with a remarkable
statement. Now watch this very, very closely and follow me. Now. Glory
be of God. Now look how he outlines the sin backing up to the 28th
verse. Even they did not like to retain God in their knowledge.

God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things they

wanted to do, which was not convenient, being filled with all
unrighteousness fornication, wickedness, covetous, maliciousness, full
of envy, murder, debate seat, malignity, whisperers, backbiters haters
of god, despiteful proud boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to
parents without understanding, covenant breakers without natural
affection, implacable and merciful, who, knowing the judgment of God
that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the
same.
But have pleasure in them that do them. Therefore therefore thou art
inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest for wherein thou
judgest another. Thou condemnst thyself for thou judgest does the
same things. Now, what he was getting at here was these Jews that
was attempting to go back under the law.

He said, well, let's just look, this is why the judgment of God came on
basically the early world. Now, you might be under the law, but he says
you're judging another man because they have not got salvation as
comes through the law, and you're doing the same thing. He said, this
is why the judgment of God came on them. The law doesn't save you.
He said, is herein, O man, that you judge us another and do us the
same things. Do you think your salvation is in the law? It's not in the
law.

The law can't save you as long as you're doing these things. And the
same judgment that came upon them is going to come upon. Now,
notice what he goes on to say. We'll get the belly of this later, but go on
to the 14th verse. Here in the second chapter, he says for when the
Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in
the law, these having not the law, are law unto themselves. In other
words, the law said, thou shalt not made adultery. Now this Gentile gets
born again, and because he has a new nature, he now sin has lost
dominion over him, and he does not have to do any of those things that
God says that he cannot do.

So what he's saying now, the Gentiles fulfilling what you could not do,
even though you had circumcision, you tried to do it and you couldn't do
it, and now they're doing it. So isn't their uncircumcision made
circumcision because they're keeping a law you couldn't keep? Look
what he says. Postly.

For when the Gentiles which have not the law do my nature those
things contained in the law, these have not a law, are a law unto
themselves which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their
conscience which has been born again, also bearing witness and their
thoughts the meanwhile accusing or else excusing one another in the
day when God will judge the secrets of men's hearts according to my
gospel, which is Gospel of Christ which he preached. And the excusing
are not excusing. None of it is based on the word of God. Their
conscience bearing witness. He says, look, aren't they fulfilling what
God asked the Jew to do and couldn't do? So what makes you think
that it doesn't become circumcision to them? He said, look owed you.
You listen to me. It's not the law that saves you. I'll tell you something
else. All those who had a form of salvation under the generation they
walked in were all waiting in Abraham's bosom. And the blood of
animals could not get them out because it could not give them a new
nation. Her so going on now going on now.

Look at 17. He says, Behold, thou are called a Jew, and you rest in the
law and make thy boast in God, and knowest his will and approvest the
things that are more excellent. Being instructed out of the law, thou art
confident that thou, thou self, are a guide to the blind, a light to them
which are in darkness, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes
which has a form of the knowledge of the truth in the law. Thou,
therefore, which teachest another. Don't you teach yourself when you
preachest? A man should not steal? Do you steal?

Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, DOST thou commit
adultery? Thou that HoareSt idols, DOST thou commit sacrilege? Thou
that makes thy boast of the law, thou breaking the law, dishonost thou
God, for the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through
you, as it is written for circumcision verily profited if thou keep the law.
But if thou be a breaker of the law, thou circumcision is made
uncircumcision. Therefore, if the uncircumcision which is Gentile keep
the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted
for circumcision and shall not uncircumcision, which is by nature the
Gentile law, if it fulfill the law that is able to keep the Ten
Commandments?

Thou shalt not, thou shalt not, shall not. Doesn't it judge thee who by
letter and circumstance on does transgress the law? Now, look at 28.
For he is not a Jew, which is won outwardly, not in this covenant. He is
not a Jew, which is one outwardly, not in this covenant, neither is that
circumcision, which is outward of the flesh. But he is a Jew which is
won inwardly. And circumcision is of the heart. If he's been born again
in the spirit and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Hallelujah. Who's a Jew? I am. Because I've been circumcised in spirit.
Hallelujah. Who's a Jew? I am. Glory be to God. Well, now, here's the
question the Jew had. Now, do you understand all that? Now here's
the question the Jew had. Because, see, in essence, now the Jews
standing there, they're looking at Paul and they're saying, well, my God,
Dan, then what good did it be to be one of the promised people? What
good did it be to be a Jew? I mean, if these Gentiles, if they're going to
inherit all the blessings of these swine eating Gentiles? I mean, what
did it profit us to keep the law if these swine eating Gentiles are going to
inherit the blessings of you know how spiritually dead man is? He's our
god.

You don't get him. We're special. You're a slime. So notice the first
verse. In the third chapter, he says, what advantage then, hath the
Jew? And what advantage then, has the Jew? Or what profit was there
in circumcision? And he answers his own question. In the second
verse, he says, much in every way, chiefly, though, the main reason,
because that unto them was committed. What? What? The Oracles of
God. Now. Stay with me. God. He had to get Jesus into the earth. He
had to choose somebody to talk to. He said, hey, I need somebody to
give the word to. And that's what his covenant in this earth was all
about. He said, what prophet?

The Jew. Well, he says, there's many reasons, but here's the main
one. He had to pick a people. To give the oracles of God. Now he
picked a man by the name of Abraham who grew into a nation.
Nevertheless, he said what the law says it says to them that are under
the law. In fact, let's just go ahead here. Go on to the 19th verse. It he
said, what prophet is there being a Jew? What prophet is there in
circumcision? He said much in every way, but mostly because God had
to select some nation to give the oracles of God to. Now, notice verse
19. He says, now we know that the things whoever the law saith it says
to who it says to them that are under the law, why, that every mouth
may be stopped and all the world become guilty before God.

Therefore, by the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight.
For by the law is the knowledge of sin. Now backing up again to 19 now
we know what serveth in the law says. It says to them that under the
law who the Jew? That every mouth might be stopped and the whole
world might be guilty before God. In other words, every nation on this
earth was his spiritually dead is a doorknow.

But God had to deliver the Oracles to somebody. So for the sake of
teaching here's, the whole world spend it out here and every nation on
it. Spiritually dead by the transgressionist, one man sin entered into the
world and death by sin. Every human being on the earth was spiritually
dead. Not one was spiritual, he says, not one righteous? No, not one.
So God looks at the earth, he says, well, what am I going to do? So he
reaches down and he swoops up the nation of Israel, abraham's seed.
He holds them in his hands and he says, I've got to give the Oracles to
somebody.

So what the law says, it says to them that are under the law that every
mouth might be stopped and the whole world become guilty before
God. So he sweeps this one nation up and he looks at him and he says,
I want you to keep the Ten Commandments. I want you to keep the law.
Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not bear false witness. Thou
shalt have no other gods before you.

He gave them the law fully knowing that I couldn't keep it. He knew
they couldn't keep it. He knew that nobody could. Why did he give it to
him for? So he could judge the whole world and declare the whole
world. He said, look, gentile nations, I give this law to the Jew and they
can't keep it. I give it to them so every mouth might be stopped and the
whole world declared guilty before me. If they can't keep it, gentile, you
can't keep it. So I'm declaring not only the Jew, but the gentile guilty so
he could lay all the world's sins on one man, which is Jesus Christ.
What was the purpose of the law?

The knowledge of sin was by the law because a spiritually dead man,
he didn't know that he was spiritually dead. So God had to give him the
law to tell him he was even dead. So he give it to one nation and every
mouth was stopped. And he judged the whole world according to that
one nation declared both Jew and gentile under sin so that he could lay
all of our transgressions on one man. Jesus. Whose name is Jesus.
Hallelujah. Look at this verse again. Then. Now we know that what
things soever the Law seth. That Seth to them that are under the law.
Why, that every mouth may be stopped and all the world us may
become guilty before God. Therefore, by the leads of the Law shall no
flesh be justified in his sight.

For the law is simply the knowledge of sin. This is why he called the
Law our schoolmaster that led us to Christ. Why? Because the
transgression of one man sin entered in the world. Death by sin. Every
human being was born spiritually dead. You don't know you dead. You
don't know know what you are. But by the spirit that's in you, you never
know anything. You couldn't know anything else. That's why he said,
what man knoweth the things of man saved the spirit of man that's in
him.

The only thing you can know is the things of spiritually dead men. You
have no way of knowing anything else. And you'll have to admit the
God of the Old Testament. And you couldn't tell what nature he was of,
particularly by his axe, because he was protecting the seed until the
seed should come to whom the promises was made, which is Christ.
He sent him into Canaan land and killed every man, woman and child
and wiped them off the face of the earth. And he spiritually did man.

They're running out thinking that's the nature of God, that's not his
nature. They didn't know anything else. What man knoweth the things
of man, save the spirit of man's in him? Corinthian said, how could I
know anything else? So God had to send a schoolmaster because he is
by the transgression of this one man, who is Adam. By this one man,
sin entered the world, death by sin. In that we've all sinned. We don't
know that we were anything else.

All of a sudden, here comes the schoolmaster. And God described in

the law how he really was. He says now if you want to come to heaven
keep these things, ten commandments in particular. Keep them, keep
them. They couldn't. So it became our schoolmaster. And by it we
found out we were guilty before God. And God is just in his
condemnation on the human race. We could not keep the law. We was
guilty. We could not stop the sinning because we were sinners. We had
the nature of sin. We didn't know anything else. That's why that verse
said what they man knoweth the things of man saved the spirit of man
that's in him. How could I know anything else? But the second half of
that verse says no man can know the things of God, save the spirit of
God.

He was talking about the born again spirit that's in him. Now he can
know God because the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set
me free. And finally I do have a spirit. Now I can know the things that be
of God. I have been set free. Hallelujah. Well, folks, now you really
understand Romans seven. Go over there with me. Now you'll really
understand it. Are you with me? Look at the 7th verse. 7th verse. I
love this. I just love this. This used to give me fits. 7th verse says,
what? Shall we then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, most
emphatically no.

I had not known sin but by the law, for I had not known lust except the
law said, thou shalt not covet, he said, but sin, taking occasion by the
commandment, rotted me all manner a concupisance. For without the
law, sin was dead. For I was alive without the law once, but when the
commandment came, sin revived, and I died. And the commandment
which was ordained to life, I found to be death. For sin taking occasion
by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. Now, when he
says, I was alive without the law once, but in the law came sin revived,
and I died. Everybody says, Well, Paul was talking about before his age
of accountability.

No, he wasn't. He was, hypothetically speaking, in the place of every

Jew who received a law and could not keep it. He was saying, I was
lied without the law once, but when the law came, sin revived, and I
died. He said in the next verse, and the commandment which was
ordained to life, I found to be death. For sin taking occasion by the
commandment, deceived me and it slew me. What he was saying here.
When I was alive without the law once, but when the law came, sin
revived, and I died. What he was saying when I was sin, I didn't know I
was sin, so I didn't know I was doing anything wrong.
And because I didn't have a conscience, it made no difference if you
killed a race of people one day and sat down and had dinner the next.
When you have no conscience, you don't know you're spiritually dead
until God comes along says, y'all shall not. And then you try to stop and
you find out you had a master the whole time and didn't know it, who
was sin. So you try.

So it slays you. You can't have God's way. It's going to have its way.
And this was the dilemma Paul was describing. He says, My God, o
wretched man that I am, who can save me from this? And he finally
says, thank God through Jesus Christ. My Lord. Let's go through this
quickly. Boy, I love this. 9th verse again. I was alive without the law
once.

Commandment came, sin revived, and I died. And the commandments

which was ordained to life I found to be death. For sin taken occasion
by the commandment 11th verse deceived me then it slew me
wherefore the laws holy, the commandments holy and just and good
was then that which is good made death to me. God forbid. But sin that
was already there, that it might appear sin working death in me by that
which is good that sin by the commandment might become exceedingly
sinful or amplified. For we know that the law spiritual, certainly it is.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Thou shalt not bear false witness. Certainly it is, for we know the law
spiritual. But I'm carnal my great, great, great forefather, adam sold me
out under sin. For that which I do I allow not for that I would that do I
not. But what I hate. I end up doing. If then I do that which I would not,
I consent that the law is good now, then it is no more I that do it, but sin
that dwelleth in me. It is that old nature mastering me, for I know that is
in my flesh dwells no good thing, for to will is present with me. I want to
do what you want me to do, God, but how to perform that which is
good? I have found no way to this point to do so, for the good that I
would I do not.

But the evil which I would not, that I end up doing. Now, if I do that that I
would not, it is no more I that do it. But it is that old nature that's
dwelling on the inside of me. I find then a law, that when I would do
good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the
inward man, meaning with my heart, God, I really do want to serve you.
But I see another law and my members warring against the law of my
mind and bringing me in captivity to the law of sin which is in my
members. O wretched man that I am, who is going to deliver me from
this body of death?

Or this death that's in me, that's delivering me to death? In the 25th

verse, he answers his own question and says, I thank God through
Jesus Christ our Lord. So then, with the mind now switching back and
bringing culmination to Romans seven, a spiritually dead man received
the law and couldn't keep it is the last half of this verse he says, I think
God answers his own question. In fact, that part should have been
tagged to the 24th verse. 24th should have read like this o wretched
man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? And
he answers his own question I thank God through Jesus Christ, my
Lord.

Now, verse 25, conclusion to the chapter. So then with the mind I
myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh, the law of sin, then the
covenant changes. There is, therefore now to the bornagain man and
woman no condemnation. The word condemnation is as in a judiciary
system, meaning, there is, therefore now no condemnation. In this
particular sense, right now he's talking about the dilemma the
unregenerated Jew was placed in when he was spiritually dead and
received a spiritual law and could not keep it. There is, therefore now
no condemnation. That word condemnation is as such that a judge
would sit behind a desk, say, this man is guilty, and he's them to death.
There is, therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not after the what flesh, but after the what. Spirit.

Now, right here, we're going to stop for a little bit. Whenever you see
the terminology through this entire chapter, paul, acting as a lawyer,
positions himself between these two chapters. Romans seven and
eight. I can't say this enough. Romans Seven is a spiritually dead man
that couldn't keep the law. He was placed in the dilemma of trying to
keep it and could not. Romans Eight. There is therefore now the
change of covenants and the same person is born again. Now. The
same condemnation that judged them to death when they were
spiritually dead and tried to keep the law? Is the condemnation he's
talking about here? There is therefore now to who? The bornagain man.
No more of these condemning sentences from that spiritually dead
nature declaring war against his mind and condemning him to hell
because he cannot keep the righteousness of the law guilty and
condemned.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them who in Christ Jesus

who walk no longer after the flesh. Whenever you see that terminology,
not after the flesh, but in the spirit. Through this whole chapter. It is
dividing a walk between a man who is in the spirit and is born again as
versus a man in the 7th chapter who is in the flesh, who has received
the law as an unregenerated man and cannot keep it.

How do you know? Well, lots of reasons. But I can back up to the 7th
chapter and read you a verse if you like. Which it would be the fifth
verse of the 7th chapter of Romans. For when we were in the flesh.
The motions of sin, which were by the law did work in our members to
bring forth fruit. And the final analogy was what? Death. When you were
where? In the where? In the flesh. Where was the Jew? In the flesh.
When you were in the flesh. What's? A man in the flesh again. He's an
unregenerated man that received the law and cannot keep it. So it
worked to death in him, condemns him to hell. Now, Romans eight
one.

There's, therefore now no condemnation. Then which? Christ jesus.

Who walk not after the judicial system of the law, being spiritually dead
and condemned to death, but on the other hand, that walks after the
what? What. Now you tell me what kind of s should be there? Big s?
Little s? Smaller? What? Everybody? Everybody for a small s?
Everybody a big ass. So. See some of you use psychology. You knew
that I'd never mentioned it. If it wouldn't have been a little s because
why bother mention it? It's generally accepted by most as a big s.
Except except those Bibles.

I understand that they've really did an exhaustive search. Exhaustive

search of everything. And I understand there's Bibles that's written out
there like this. Hallelujah. But we found it with virtually no library. That
means the Holy Ghost can walk us into everything else. He said amen.
I've got a teacher. I've got a teacher. So what's he saying? There is
therefore now no condemning sentences. Flesh devil the world our
covenant, judicial systems of the law, the Jews covenant can be carried
out in me anymore because I do not walk after the flesh but after the
law of the spirit of life. That new nature that is coming to my spirit and
has set me free from the law of sin and death every time you see who
walks not after the flesh but after the spirit is talking about an
unregenerated man received along couldn't keep it as a verse. Now to
the man who's been born again.

My God. Sin has no more dominion over me, has taken on a new
terminology. None of those condemning sentence can be carried out in
me anymore. Why? Simply because I have been born again.

All right. I would like to take the time to just but this chapter is reserved
for another day. Now, I can help you out a little. I'll just turn you loose
on this chapter a little. Let's just go down to how about the 15th verse?
Just for a minute. Said, Brother Roberson, when's the first time that the
Holy Spirit is mentioned in this chapter? In the 16th verse. First time
he's mentioned the 16th verse. The Spirit itself bears witness with our
Spirit. Wouldn't you agree that that's the Holy Ghost there? Well, they
got it right here. They put a little s there and put a little s in the second
half of that verse. The Spirit itself bears witness with our Spirit that we
are the children of God.

That's the first time he's mentioned well, Brother Roberson, what? I
thought he's mentioned in the 15th verse. No, he's not. For you have
not received the spirit of bondage again to fear. Well, what's that spirit?
The spirit of bondage again to fear. For the Jew was every time he tried
to keep the lot, brought him into bondage and fear. But the Gentile, he
said it this way in one Corinthians, the second chapter, this is how he
said it. You've not received the spirit of this world, but the spirit that's of
God. Here. He said it this way. For you not received the spirit of
bondage again to fear. But you've received the spirit that's of God. But
notice how he said, you've received the spirits of God here, he says,
but you've received the spirit of what? Of adoption. Whereby who cries?
Who got adopted? Well, how could that spirit be the Holy Ghost? He
was never adopted.

I'm not crying by him. The Holy Ghost didn't become my father.
Hallelujah. So then he finally, in this chapter, he finally mentions the
Holy Ghost. He says, now that you've been adopted, his spirit bears
witness with our spirit that we are a child of God. Hallelujah. And,
people, you don't have to get up in God's face and scream at. You have
a covenant. Your covenant was actually fulfilled in Abraham. And then
when Jesus was delivered to the world, you went from having to cut a
contract to a son. Now, how many of your children has ever come up
with a contract to make sure you'd feed them? 6s I must, son. I am a
son because adoption has taken place and I've become a son of God.
And I now serve him as a son, knowing I have full inheritance. Do you
think I stormed the gates of heaven and threatened my father? No, sir. I
don't have to. I have inherited as a son. And I'll tell you what, my father
has a real weakness. He's just got a big heart. I tried to tell him you've
got a weakness, Father.

You keep taking in these orphans. This whole world's been orphaned.
They don't have a father except the devil, and he orphans them. You
know, this whole world's been orphaned, and you keep wanting to take
them all in. And, you know, I'm I'm your son, and I'm telling you, I've
been looking at your account, and I don't think you got enough money
to feed them. It he says, that's exactly why I'm not giving it to you to
feed them with. I have to find somebody I can trust with, because I'm
going to keep adopting kids. And if you want to go get a yacht, you can
go get a yacht. But I want to adopt kids. So the prodigal comes back
home, okay?

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. And he says, Go get your elder brother. He's out
under law. He's out in the field. He's under law. Go get him. You just
come back and you're my son, and you got your full inheritance back.
And then he said, Glory be to myself. You got your full inheritance
back, and let's kill the fatted calf. Let's celebrate an older son. He's out
going, all these years, I've never dreadgrressed any commandment.
You never killed a fatted calf for a minute. He gets him aside, he says,
Listen, you blubbering baby. All I've ever had is yours. But you've
never known me well enough to know that I'd have killed the fatted calf
every day of your life if that's what you wanted to do. Because all I've
ever had, my full inheritance, has been yours. And you didn't know me
because we've always just had a relationship. We've never had
fellowship, son. It's always been yours. You've never fellowshipped with
me. See, relationship is two fellows in the same ship because of the
same gene pool. But fellowship is two fellas in the same ship because
they want to be. Now, son, I've been to your father in the same gene
pool, but you don't know me very well.

All this was yours the whole time. Him. So come in and celebrate. Glory
be to God. No, sir. I know I have an inheritance now. I know that. I know
that. I know that. So that fifth, that 614 15 verse said will you not
receive the spirit of bondage again to fear you receive the spirit of
adoption whereby you cry who more than Father? You're my my daddy.
It speaks intimacy. He said, now the Holy Ghost itself is bearing witness
with your spirit, with his nature with your nature that you're his children.
But in Corinthians Corinthians it says all of this like this, it says the
same thing.

Now, from 15 to 17, it says the same thing, says you not receive the
spirit of bondage again to fear that you've been born again. Receive the
spirit of adoption whereby you receive my nature and you cry, Abba,
Father. The Spirit itself, Holy Spirit bears witness with our Spirit, your
Spirit, that we're the children of God. But in Corinthians it said it like this
he says you've not received the spirit of this world but the spirit that's of
God that you might know the things that are freely given to you of God.
Which things we speak.

Not in the wisdom that man speaks in or the language man speaks, but
the language which God speaks. Comparing spiritual things to what
spiritual that is the Holy Ghost, you think the things of God and teaching
them to our new nature, spiritual to spiritual. Here he simply said it this
way and His Spirit bears witness with our Spirit that we're what his
children, what's he bearing witness to? Well, you wouldn't know that till
you went to the next verse which says and if children, then he bears
witness that we're, his child, then heirs. Heirs of who? God. Then join
heirs with who? Christ, if so be, we fulfill our ministries here, suffer with
Him that we would be glorified together. But in Corinthians, he just
simply said the Holy Spirit teaches all these wonderful things we can
know spiritual to spiritual, comparing the spiritual things of God to the
understanding of our new nature. But here he says the Spirit bears
witness with our Spirit what we're an heir of God and a joint heir with
Jesus. And everything between all of it is saying the same thing I've
been born again. It. Hallelujah. So the first time he mentions Holy
Ghost is right there, and he still just calls him the Spirit, although he
does put a big s there. And I think we probably need to go over to
Corinthians there and look at the brother of this second chapter, 12th
verse.

Now, this saying exactly the same thing, see, from 1415 and 16 in
Romans eight, these are the same verses, only he's not talking to a
man coming out of the law. He's talking to pagan born again idolatrous.
Now, we've not received the spirit of the world same statement as you
not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear but the spirit which is of
God. But notice here he puts a little s. How many has King James, how
many has a little s? Raise your hand. How many has a big s said? A
little s is correct.

Now tell me. Romans 80 said it this way. You've not received the spirit
of bondage again to fear but the spirit but you received the spirit of
adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Now, he called it the spirit of
adoption, but yet he put a big ass. Saying that he was talking about the
Holy Ghost. But here he puts a little s because he's talking about your
spirit. Now how could these both be saying the same thing but
contradictory? This one is right. Now I'll tell you again, there's only one
Greek word for the word spirit. It's the same word for the spirit of God,
the same word for the spirit of man. The only way you can know the
difference is the sentence structuring. It's the only way. So now he's
saying exactly the same thing. He says twelve again. Now we receive
not the spirit of the world, but the little s spirit which is of God.

Which one's that born again, one that we might know the things that
are freely given to us by God. Now I have a nature that can be taught.
13th verse which things also we speak these things which are given to
us by God, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but what but
what the Holy Ghost teacheth. Comparing what spiritual things of God
to the understanding that we have for spiritual things in our new nature,
that in Romans eight he just simply said, receive the spirit of adoption,
whereby we cry Abba, Father, and his spirit is bearing witness with our
spirit. But what's he bearing witness to? All the things that we can know
that God has made available to us an heir and a joint heir with Christ
time. Says the same thing. Let me tell you something. You're free.
You're free. Now, when you read down through Romans eight now and
every time you see walks not after the flesh, but after the spirit, just
remember, he's talking about that man and the judicial system of the
law.

And he's talking about a man who's been born again. Now, and he
doesn't have to be condemned because now there's something that he
can do about the sin. Stop it. Amen. Hallelujah. All right, while we're
over here now, let's answer a few mysteries. Go to Second Corinthians.
Hallelujah. Now now, five minutes of teaching. It seems like an eternity
to me. Now got all this time. Third chapter two, corinthians one. Now
Paul's talking about when Moses came down off the mountain, he had
a veil over his face and he gave them the law. He gave them the Ten
Commandments.

And this is basically what he's talking about. Without getting into any
more, but I want you to look at the 7th verse. He says but if the
administration of what death engraving in what is that about covered,
what did he call the law? And what was engraving in stones? If it wasn't
the Ten Commandments, why would he call it? And people I've had
some of the greatest teachers when we get to fellowshipping about
word and things, I've had some of the greatest teachers ask me, they
said, you know what this is talking about here? And I said, fortunately, I
do. But he called the Ten Commandments under the law of the
administration of death. Why? Because they were spiritually dead and
couldn't keep it. Well, what did the veil cover up? That veil was a type of
spiritual death. That's why they couldn't keep it, because the Ten
Commandments was the righteousness of the law. In other words, it
was virtually the description of the new nature.
So it was cloaked by spiritual death. That's why they couldn't see it and
couldn't keep it. That's what the veil represented, which we will get into
later. Are you following me? The. Now look what he called the Ten
Commandments. The good good. What I do, I cannot. And what I try to
do, the evil I don't want to do, I end up doing. Why? The administration
of death. Written engraving in stones. And if that wasn't enough for you,
look at the 9th verse. For if the administration of calm to nation be glory
I mean, now he calls the giving of the Ten Commandments the
administration of condemnation. Why? Because it was our
schoolmaster to reveal to us that we were spiritually dead. Guilty before
God.

Every mouth could be stopped. And then God could lay all the sin.
Both Jew and Gentile say they're underneath sin and lay all our
transgression on one man, who is Jesus Christ. If that's not enough,
that's not enough. We got a whole minute and a half. Go to Galatians.
This is really good here. This is really good. How about the 10th verse
of Galatians three? Now, I'm going to blurt this out. Now, look at this
verse. For as many as are under the works of the law are under the
curse. He didn't put any condition on it. For as many as under the works
of the law are under the curse. The curse of what? Well, they've been
charged by God to keep his commandments, and they can't you can
only kill animals so long.

Then he has to lock them up. Abraham's Bosom for as many as under
the works of the law under the curse. For it is written. Now, notice
closely cursed is everyone that continueth not in all things which are
written in the book of the law to do them. Now, he says, as many as
under the law, under the curse of the law. Why? Because cursed is
every man that continueth not in all the things that's written in the law.
See, it was impossible to continue in these things. They could not keep
the law. That was Paul's point. I'd had not known covetous, and God
said, Stop, and I found out I couldn't stop. So he says, Every man that's
under the law is under the curse of the law. Why? Because he can't
continue in the law.

To do all that's written in it was an impossibility that. Well, thank God

that Jesus become the curse of the law. Well, the 11th verse says, but
that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God's evident. For the
judge shall live by faith. And the law is not a faith, but the man which
doth them shall live in them.

Christ has redeemed us. From what? The curse of the law being made.
A curse for us. For it is written, cursed is ever man that Hanth on a tree.
Well, why? How could he redeem us from the curse of the law? He's
talking the same problem to the Galatians as the Romans had. How
can he do that? Because he was born under the law. And if he was
born under the law, then he was obligated to fulfill the law. Here's the
good news.

In him was life, and the life was the light of man. He's the first man to be
born spiritually alive since Adam, and he was born under the law. So he
was the first man who had a nature that was qualified to keep the law.
So before he was condemned under the law, he kept it to the fullness
with absolute perfection.

Then, because he was spiritually alive, he could keep it. Then he turned
to the Jew and says, I'm going to become the curse of the law. Why are
you going to do that? Because, Jew, none of you could keep the law. I
kept it. But now I'm going to take your sin into myself and die under the
penalty of the law to free them that are under the law that they might
accept Jesus Christ. You get all that? As you know, I'm a repeater,
right? For we will be back into it. Hallelujah.
