Galatians Zoom February 12

getting that that church going and he as we know was working through the issue of the Judaizers taking the people back or putting them back in the bondage of the law trying to anyway uh and we had worked through this first few first sections of uh chapter 3 but I want to start back and I know we did uh verse 5 but I want to go back and start back there and uh and then move down from there uh starting at verse 5 it says that therefore he who supplies the spirit to you and works miracles among you among you does he do it by works of the law or by the hearing of faith just as Abraham believed God and it was the counted to him for righteousness i believe that is Genesis 15:6 that is quoting right there uh that Abraham believed God it was counted to him for righteousness okay and uh therefore that only therefore know that only those who are of faith are the sons of Abraham and a scripture foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand saying in you all nations shall be blessed so then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham now and we covered this last week but the emphasis on the idea uh when we start to think about uh it is God that did all of these works and is God that carried everything forward and we should only be looking to God as the source of our faith now the thing is where that becomes relevant even now even now is as as it was then with the the the Jews people were looking towards men or looking towards p particular individuals or or particular uh belief systems or whatever for righteousness and how to obtain righteousness and Paul was redefining the idea that it all comes from God it all comes from God and it's him who does it and it's not he because uh he does it by through works of law because the law was unable to do anything law was unable to do anything however he did it through faith and then again I want to retouch on the idea of the preaching of the gospel when it says that he preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham saying and you all nationally blessed this was something that was going to happen generations generations and generations and generations after uh Abraham was long gone that through him that all nations of the world we will will be blessed because when we start thinking about this we start thinking about this abraham Abraham was of originally a a nomadic people abraham originally his concept of the nations when this this this uh text saying and you all nations be blessed and that's what uh um Genesis 15:6 says his concept of nations in itself would have been extremely limited it would have been extremely limited because he only knew those people that he ran into or they came across or those people that they interacted with but of the broad scheme of the world or the broad scheme of all nations and all that that is not something that would have even been in the uh focus for Abraham uh so when he was saying that it was definitely a prophecy it was definitely something that was to come and something that was as Paul said beforehand the gospel or the result of the gospel long before Christ came okay so then those who are of faith in other words uh being justified by faith are uh blessed with the believing Abraham so we're coming to this fact that Abraham who was given the promises in Genesis 12 and was asked to leave his land and understand this was a kind of a a foreshadow for Christians today abraham was asked to leave everything he knew behind and go and do what God would have him go and do now he did take with him his possessions and the people that were around him he took them with him but his way of life and all of the things that he had come to know he left behind it's similar to what we're talking about when a person becomes a Christian you don't just throw away everything you have you don't uh get stop you know being in your family being around your family and so forth but you leave that way of life that you had known before behind in favor of that for which God has shown us in scripture here Abraham left everything he knew of his way of life behind based on the word of God okay and it goes on here saying in verse 10 for as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse under this curse for it is written curssees everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them this is the interesting thing i mean uh and if I can I'm going to take just a few seconds here because uh I was I like I said we just got back we were in Teloma for a few days and uh went to Walmart and I don't know uh the purpose of of of what went on but the Lord knows um we were in Walmart and a young man came up to me uh came up to both my wife and I and uh asked us about being Christians and then started talking to us about the era of uh worshiping on the Lord's day and how we supposed to be worshiping on the Sabbath on Saturday and that it was an error well um I'm sure the young man has a lot to think about now because we had a a a significant conversation and uh it it it's just one of those being uh prepared in season out of season thing uh but I was able to take him to his own scriptures uh show and he had his Bible there and he was pointing things out and I was saying "Well what does the scripture say?" And I was able to go right through his own scriptures and show him that what this verse here is saying that curses everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them so going back and grabbing something out of the law and saying this applies to the Christian church you better bring it all you better bring some bulls and some sparrows and some doves and and some goats and everything else because you're going to need it because you have to do it all if you're going to do any of it but I was able to take him from his scripture and show him the truth but the thing is is the scripture i mean this happens even today many people believe that you can take part of what was written in the law and bring it forward and and then uh put that on the church now there is a difference and where the misunderstanding here is is I am not saying that you can go out or not you I'm saying a person can go out and act any kind of way and and do things that are contrary to what was written in the law no we have a law written in our hearts also we have the word of God we are supposed to live according to the word to the will of God that's it but the burden of the law is not placed on us in the Christian church does that mean we go out and do things that are are by nature negative or sinful no however however because we have a law written in our hearts we have the spirit of God living within us we have the word of God to guide us we know what to do and how to live in this world world as God would have us do therefore we are not subject to those things in the law neither is it necessary for us to be uh acceptable to God he has given us what he expects in order for us to be accepted to him he has told us that we have to repent he has told us that we have to confess our faults he's told us that we have to be baptized he's told us that we are to be faithful until death he's told us to assemble together he's told us exactly the things that we need to do he told us to love one another he told us to honor God first he told us all these things okay so we have that we have that and we have the definition of how that's fleshed out throughout the scriptures that's the kind of the background issue the background of why the epistles were written can give us the fleshing out of of those directions those commands so we can understand how God wants us to walk but we can do all this without having the written code of the law which was enforced enforced by men understand this if you go back and read the laws all of the laws had punishments associated with them that were carried out by men okay that is not the grace of God that is not uh God's will uh to say uh God he said "Vengeance is mine i will repay." That's his word that's his will so we're not looking at the law there's a lot of things there and I'm not going to go too far into that but a lot of things there that we don't need to be burdened with or the Christian church doesn't need to be burdened with at this point in time but the important point is you can't go grab little things out of the law and bring them forward if it benefits something and I'm gonna say that that ugly word uh in just a moment that people try to bring forward a lot uh and that is tithing people try to bring that the laws associated with how the Jews were commanded to give and bring it forward into the Christian church that is not what God commands of the Christian church we do what we do out of love not out of law we give according to what we purpose in our heart according to uh uh Corinthians 9:6 when we start looking at this we have to understand that we don't need those trappings or those burdens applied to the Christian church in order to do the will of God and when Christ came he fulfilled that law and it the scripture says he did not do away with it but he fulfilled it and we're going to go a little bit further into that as we go into further into Galatians but he fulfilled that laws because he was the only one that ever could we don't need to bring forward any of the things from the law at all in order to live for God now that does not mean that the Old Testament text is irrelevant it does not mean that because there are two there's this left and right swing of this pendulum because people want to believe a that the Old Testament text and the laws and things apply to us and then there's people that want to make the entire Old Testament text irrelevant that is not the case the entire Old Testament text is not irrelevant it actually gives us a very very good view of the nature of God when we start looking at the Old Testament text also uh the scripture says that everything that was written beforehand was written for our learning so we can learn from what the scriptures are saying what is said in the Old Testament text that does not make us subject to the burden of the law it does not make us subject to any of the things that the Judaizers were trying to imply or trying to place onto the churches in Galatia so uh that's based situation but like I said it's not just then it's now as well we have people that will do that we'll have people that will actually try to bring those things back but in most cases even with the rebbitic code that this uh the the uh Jewish most of the Jewish people are following right now it even cherrypicks what was there in order to make it theirs well we are not burdened by that we are not subject to that there is not something that we have to to carry forward however what Paul is implying here clearly is that anyone who does that if you want to bring a little bit of that that law in you got to bring it all and as the scripture says no one could do that no one can complete it it's not just a burden that we have from the past not some burden that we have here but it's something that happens in churches today these are errors these are errors that are made in in churches that end up causing division and those errors that end up calling causing a division is why we have so many religious bodies uh around the world today the scripture is simple the scripture is plain and it's saying here that curses anyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them and it's just that's not something that you that we have to deal with let me pause and hear for comments and thoughts anyone um so brother Pinkington that was a good that was a good summary what you just said to us um so Paul so Paul in Galatian is trying to I'm thinking about Paul in Romans 14 versus Paul in Galatians 3 mhm and um cuz we still deal dealing with I guess in Galatians it's dealing with the liberality right that they now have liberty they are not bound by these laws okay so this is for these particular people who think they have to be bound but then when we get to Romans Romans 14 where he talks about the liberality whether if your brother wants to eat meat if your brother want to um what is it annowled a certain day or whatever it's not anything for us to debate over right just let them be and then um trying to reconcile just let them do that if that's what they want to do there are some Christians who try to do both and so I'm thinking he's saying in Romans 14 that it's nothing for us to debate over if if they're weak and I think he even call them weaker at that point you know when people first come into the church sometime they have these things they hard time to get over not doing them so it's different from what he's talking to these Galatians though I understand that but for people who still been brought up like that to um not eating certain things not eating certain meats or whatever we don't try to convince them that it's okay we just let them do it so we can have peace is that what we're supposed to do well actually your your comments are are relevant to to what we're saying uh because this we we can't say for sure but it's probably the one of the issues that we're in Galatia um liberality the liberality that we find in Christ um understand the the one thing we need to understand is the liberality we have the freedom we have in Christ is not freedom to sin it's not freedom to sin uh we do not have the freedom to do that which we know that we can show that we can see is contrary to the will of God there's no freedom to that that that the grace does not extend to the acceptance of sin okay put it that way however however liberality when we start thinking about that and especially when he's talking about the eating of meats the sacrificed idols and all this type of stuff and what the actual implications there are i can say this when we are talking to people we work with people when we we live with people day by day there is no value in browbeating people uh for habits or issues of things that they may have we only should be showing people if we see errors according to scripture and we see errors according to scripture which as Paul pointed out the eating of meat and different things associated with that uh are not errors uh the what some of the stuff we see in modern day uh some modern day um religious bodies where women can only wear dresses um women can't wear pants and uh I'm doing a similar thing here uh uh we see uh a lot of other trappings which are not scriptural uh things that are being carried out yet we see people wanting to lord over folks to judge people based on these superficial things and actually can end up pushing people away from Christ with those things that is not something that we need to be engaged in and that's that's what Paul's essential message was was that's not something we need to be engaged in we need to be engaged with the gospel of Christ we need to be engaged with what the scripture actually says and not engage with what people look like or uh all these different things uh and and for for lack of a better way of explaining it that we should be engaged fully with the word of God we should be engaged fully with the word the will of God as written in the word of God and engaged in the pursuit of the acceptability making ourselves acceptable to God um and we should teach that uh in the sense of you know how we live and how we converse with people that working towards acceptability in God now we have to ask ourselves what is acceptable to God what do we expect to be acceptable to God do we believe our actions that we take day by day are acceptable to God and use that as kind of a a a a uh a guide uh as we work towards our acceptability god knows I'm saying acceptability not worthy because I don't think we ever can actually get to that point of of actually being worthy of the sacrifice that that God made for us that Christ made for us however we make ourselves acceptable by following his will and his way and his word uh and and living for him every day and that's what we should be focused on and when we talk to people if we see errors when we talk to people we should be able to point people in love point to people uh to the scripture the scriptural error that they may be making because if there's not scripture if there's no scripture how do we know it's an error if we don't uh if we can't point to it ourselves and this can be kind of a guiding thing if you will if you can't point to the scripture yourself then that's not something you should be applying your words to uh and what I'm saying is if it's scripture you notice an error you notice something and you can point people to what word of God is saying about that fine right but if you can't you might should leave it alone uh because of the fact that we need to let God speak right let the will of God the word of God speak and not us it's not of us because the person we might be looking at to try to guide might be trying their best to be acceptable to God just like we are right you know they just might have be in different places on the same continuum of trying to be acceptable to God so we do not have the right nor do we have the privilege to in ourselves correct anyone the word of God has the ability to correct to rebuke you know to do all the things that need to be done uh you know to instruct everything uh that needs to be happen can happen through the word of God we should only be vessels to promote what the word of God what the will of God is therefore if we can't speak from scriptural from a scriptural basis and show people the scriptural basis from what we're speaking from we should probably remain silent and that is true amen amen other thoughts and comments i know people got something in their mind about that i agree with you i have I have Amen i agree with you i have acquaintances that are of different faith different religion and quite a few I've come into who are Jehovah Witnesses and what I found out I just whatever they they don't want to celebrate this they don't want to do that i just respect them of that and get along with them very well on the things that we do agree on you know that's what I've come i don't try to debate with them about what they need to do or anything and have peaceful relationships that's that's what I've come to understand for myself it's a good rule of thumb it's a good rule of thumb because you can't convince anyone well I can't do a blanket statement very few people are actually convinced of anything through adversarial you know engagement uh if if we are arguing or we are lording over or we are trying to force our particular perspective on anyone at all very few people are ever convinced by anything like that that's Christ didn't do that christ didn't condemn anyone he didn't condemn anyone he taught them he told them the truth but he stopped short of condemning could he have yes he could have but he didn't he didn't he taught people he showed people the truth he told them the truth and he performed the will of God he performed the things that he needed to do in order to express that however as far as lording over or probably saying you know that's all that no no mhm you won't see that in scripture you won't see it in scripture at all so uh you know it it's just one of those things is very relevant because I think that that that liberality issue was that issue here in the church of Galatia because once you understand the liberality we have in Christ there is a tendency to wonder where the guard rails are for lack of a way better way of saying it uh and um the grace of God allows us being free moral agents to make decisions and we have to make sure that those decisions and and are based on what God would have us do in scripture because the scripture does provide us the path that we're supposed to follow it's just the scripture doesn't is not big on negatives if you will it's not big on the New Testament text is not big on negatives as far as uh you shall not things um that's not the will of God under grace under love it's not a lot of you shall nots in the in the uh uh New Testament text other thoughts i don't believe in debating with anybody but do I do believe uh well if you have a friend who tells you all of a sudden hey I'm getting baptized Sunday and then you look look closer into what his inscription says he's going to be a baptized in the church of of the Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints so I'm I'm much I'm taken back a little bit by that because he we never talk about religion i've been knowing this guy for 50 years so I wanted to engage in him to make sure he knows what he's doing i said "Uh I said "That sounds good uh let me let me ask you something did you study with them if so what does the doctrine say about salvation?" And he never answered me so he got baptized according to the text message it was the 2nd of March so I'm assuming he's already That's Utah isn't it do they have that here i don't even know if they have that religion here it's probably all over though but no I'm not trying to debate with anybody but you want to make sure your friend knows what they're doing exactly and and one of the best ways of doing that is exactly what you just said ask questions when people uh uh say those you know present those things to you ask questions ask questions and then uh when they present their case you can take them right there from right there and show them what the word of God says and then uh let them make a decision it's not doesn't have to be a debate at all uh brother Jones used to say a long time ago 30 30 35 years ago as he said it that person who asks the questions controls the conversation that's what bro Jones used to say that and uh the thing is is ask questions when people visit those things uh you don't have to debate uh just ask questions usually usually or more time than not when people are in error their logic will disintegrate it will fall apart uh and when they just try to answer the question because there won't be a scriptural basis for them to be able to respond to the question uh and then when you see that then you can show them the scriptural truth and then give them a foundation to stand on and that is received a lot different it received differently it's not adversarial it's not argumentative or not a strong debate however um you know you can get that get the same message across now don't get me wrong have I done that yeah when I was younger yeah we used we debate debate till you the white stuff come outside your mouth you debating until things are you know till you just debate all night long till the sun comes up next day but it's not fruitful it's not fruitful um so uh you know well anyway uh other thoughts comments well getting back to this text here uh he said "But no one," verse 11 "but no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident." No one that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident in other words there's no evidence of justification based on all the things that all the physical things that uh people carried out and that were punished or uh whatever by man there was no there was no evidence that justification ever came from that it said "For the just will live by faith yet the law is not of faith the man who does them shall live by them." Now thinking about this like I said if you just need to carry out an act if you just carry out an act you know and and and that's it punch your ticket and you're done you know it doesn't make any sense really but the law was a lot of ticket punching you had to do this do that don't do this don't do that faith you have to live by the word of God live by the will of God and it speaks to us from a character perspective that means living by the word and will of God when you're with people and when you're by yourself uh when when nobody can see you or you're not around the church or whatever are still living according to the will and the and the word of God you know uh you know we used to have and and I see brother Washington is on on on here uh we used to have a thing in Europe where uh the Christians in Europe we used to talk about how a lot of Christians would drop Jesus off on the Atlantic when they when they flew over into Europe and they call themselves picking him back up when they came back to the United States and they just totally left they didn't do the things that they did when they were in the United States in Europe they didn't go to church they didn't attend worship service they didn't do the things that they would normally do as Christians um you know if we're going to live by faith and we are going to live you know according to the word of God we're going to do that all the time and the thing is the law the acts of the law were all witnessed by people they were all things that you carried out in public it wasn't things that you carried before God we sing to God we give to God we pray to God we serve God we do nothing for man's sake except we serve our fellow man we help them where we can but nothing that we do even when we serve our fellow man we're doing that unto God is not uh you know for world for people to reward us to see our deeds here on earth in the law it was exactly the opposite you had to bring the sacrifice to the priests you had to bring your uh offering according to uh what the standard was that particular uh offer because there was three major times a year they had to do it and whatever the standard was that particular time you had to uh do all these things before men god is not looking at those overt physical acts that you do in front of men he's doing what you're doing in your heart how you're serving him how you're serving him everything now when you're serving God and when you're believing God there should be some manifestation in your life that shows that you serve God that you believe God that you follow God it should your works should be evident before men but that work should be generated by your faith in God not to be seen by men so the when we look at this particular passage you talk about you know no one no one is justified by the law in the sight of uh God is evident and the just live by faith yet the law is not of faith it is that code the law was that code you do the things according to the code to have your sins rolled forward uh to the next year then you did uh then you did those things according to the code again and said but the man who does them shall live by them they live by those things okay christ has redeemed us from that curse and you really think about it think about it was the law good paul argues this in uh in Romans yes the law was good the law was good there's no evil in the law there's no evil in the law uh and he also stated that through the law we understood what sin was and through the law and the knowledge of the law we understand that sin was utterly sinful this was stuff that God did not accept we understand that through the law so the law itself is good however trying to lift the burden or carry the burden of the law trying to obey the law and and not having uh the ability to come to Christ and appeal to him and ask for forgiveness and things like that that is what Paul's talking about uh when he says Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law the curse because it was it was that burden that shackling that that that all that that the law did and caused on people end up being a curse okay and if we really want to look at it can think about what happened with u the Israelites in while they were in Egypt they were considered detestable to the Egyptians even a lot of other countries uh and other other historical writings talk about the Jews being so detestable because their beliefs and things like that the law actually caused that but when we look at this having not because the law was evil but because the burden that would it placed on men that men could not follow uh and and cause a lot of other ramifications said having become a curse for us it's talking about Christ having become a curse for us for it's written curses everyone who hangs on the tree that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus that we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith now that statement ties a whole lot of stuff together it ties a whole lot of stuff together because he's tying in the prophecy of Christ then he's tying in Abraham who the actual sons of Abraham are that uh is spoken back about back in verse 7 and tying in what we receive through the obedience of the gospel so he's going reaching all the way back to Abraham and going all the way forward to the obedience of the gospel when he says that that we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith we know that we receive the spirit only by obeying go the gospel only by obeying the gospel once we repent and have been baptized then we re receive gifts of the Holy Spirit that's what the scripture says okay so that means that if he's talking about receiving the promise of the spirit he's talking about obeying the gospel so he goes back to Abraham and comes all the way forward to the obedience of the gospel and how it happened by Christ becoming the curse becoming the curse himself taking on that burden so that the blessings that were promised to Abraham before the law was could be passed to the Gentiles through faith let me stop here uh thoughts this is deep that's all I want to say it is it is uh because of the thing is what what Paul is doing the Judaizers have came in and corrupted the church in Galatia okay so Paul had take them to what the what the law was that the Judaizers were trying to say had to be followed and explain to the Gentiles why the gospel of Christ supersedes that which the Judaizers was bringing to them and doing it in a manner to understand that what God had done in the past was Good what God is doing now as scripture says is better we have a better covenant we have a better covenant it does not mean that the one before was bad brother Jones he also used to have a saying and I'm not going to quote brother Jones a bunch of times tonight but I will say this about 35 40 years ago he used to say stuff like uh they didn't invent the car because the horse was broken he say stuff like that the there was nothing wrong the old covenant was good the new covenant is just better it's a better covenant that invites all to come before God in faith so uh that's just what it's saying let me pause here other thoughts uh so Brother Hankington okay so vers 7 through nine okay now Abraham we know he's known for his faith we know We know he's known for great faith i mean he had it to do what he did whatever God asked him to do he did it okay now the thing about the spirit um the spirit are we only when we talking about Abraham we're really just are we just really attributing the part dealing with his faith cuz then he goes on a verse like Mary said this is so deep he goes on later that he talks about the spirit um when he says uh I guess we if we have faith then that associates us with Abraham yes according to verse seven yeah okay okay but then when talking about the Holy Spirit that is something added on cuz I don't think I don't recall it was talking about Abraham having the Holy Spirit right well you won't see that language uh directly when it's talking about Abraham um however however you will see where God was speaking to Abraham exactly uh on uh several occasions and if we try not to open the door but if we look at the scripture we'll see that God guides us and he and he uh communicates with us through his spirit and through his word and you saw that more often before the written word was completed for we had text like we have now however which God is still speaking to us through his spirit through his word okay however when we uh look at that you'll see how God actually communicated directly with Abraham and uh how that was carried out was probably through the spirit however we can't really the scripture doesn't really use that type of language what we're seeing here is that when the sacrifice for sin the atonement the atoning sacrifice that we see when we're looking at first John the text of first John especially chapter 2 uh when we're looking at it uh uh that propitiation for sin that that price that was paid but sin is why he carries that forward into Christ because you had the law like I said the law was good in itself but it became a curse to men because men couldn't could not follow it men could not could not achieve that was required of the law okay so it became a curse uh for men and Jesus taking that curse on himself paid the price of that curse by coming becoming the curse itself and taking that away from men allowing us to get back to the promise that was made to Abraham before the law ever was understand is not a situation where we are going to something new we're going to something actually that God intended for the beginning that direct relationship that he had with Abraham that rel relationship that God spoke with Abraham is what we have now through Christ remembering the trinity remember the trinity you have the father son and the holy spirit and the three are one right so when we look at that when we look at that idea what Abraham had in the be beginning to communicate with God Christ restored his sacrifice us being able to come to him so the thing is is what we're seeing is the price being paid what Paul's explaining is the price being paid that takes us from that curse to the blessings that were giving the blessings of Abraham bless Abraham taking us back to what God originally intended for us to be where God originally intended us to to be in a relationship with him and uh he did that so he could bring it through to the Gentiles as well great answer thank you now um thank you one one thing I I thought about uh when I was out uh just thinking uh uh we thought about uh the scripture uh and how Paul puts this it kind of makes it relevant when Jesus was in the boat with Peter when Jesus was in the boat with Peter after he finished preaching he told Peter to cast out a little further and to cast out on the other side for a draw before a big catch that statement is more than about fish understand they had been under the law they had been dealing with you know the Jewish bloodline Jewish folks and and so forth what was the other side the Gentiles the Gentiles so God was casting his net on the other side to bring in all men bring in everyone to bring in everyone here and how he did it was through the sacrifice on the cross the only way it had it could be done was through that sacrifice the only way it could be done because justice had to be satisfied the price had to be paid in order for the law to be fulfilled the price had to be had to be paid and by Jesus becoming a cross for us becoming a curse some say becoming a curse for us being hung on that tree he satisfied the cost or the price of justice and when he did that he cast a net far and wide for everybody to come in not by the old way the way they had been fishing the whole night before but by the new way on the other side this is a transition from the law to the gospel to grace in Christ this is newness this is something that God has done he intended from the very beginning to reconcile man back to him that we can have a true relationship with him not a relationship is just if you could put yourself in the place of even the most Orthodox Jew at the time not a relationship was that was based on sacrifices of animals sacrifices of different uh products and and produce and all these different things not that but a relationship based on faith based on love based on understanding based on that benevolent relationship that he gave for us the only way to do it was to eliminate the curse that was burdening men and pay the price of justice and that's what happened here that's what Paul is teaching them here so that the Gentiles and when he's saying Gentiles he's speaking primarily to a Gentile audience but it's all men everyone has the ability to come to God through Christ because that price has been paid now the thing is here uh we're going to see and and
