We'll be glad. We will Rejoice in, and rejoice in every single moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful, be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice. Praise. Praise him and thank Him. Be ye joyous. I did not do that thing teaching over the weekend, but I gotta figure out, like, what I. What I can do to. To. So you can hear the audio and whatever. But I have to figure that out. But I hope you had a great weekend. I hope you're excited about today. I was reading and have been reading in different translations because when I'm going over like a macro concept, I like to read something that's more it. It's easier to understand. And if you go to. It's called the Modern Language. It's the Berkeley edition. It's. I think it's from like the 50s. I always like this one. But if you go to chapter four, verse one, it says now I affirm that so long as an heir is a minor, he differs in no way from a slave, although everything belongs to him. But he is under guardians and trustees. Until the time that was prearranged by the Father. This is our situation. While we were minors, we were subservient to the world's elementary teachings. This is talking about the law. And what happened was, is he's upset that once they believed in the name of Jesus Christ, they were going back and being enslaved under the law.
[00:01:30] If you follow and if you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you are righteous at that moment. If thou shalt confess, these are the words, the specific words of faith. Romans 10, 9, 10. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart, God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. So you have to believe Jesus Christ that God raised him from the dead, that he's your Lord and Savior. And you have to say it out loud. For with the heart, man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation or safety or preservation.
[00:02:02] It's that simple. But he was upset with that situation and he's talking to them that that law was there to find Christ. And it's an elementary law. It's like the beginning.
[00:02:13] Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you have the opportunity to walk by the spirit because you are a son. Of God at that point.
[00:02:20] Now keep going. I'll show you what I'm talking about.
[00:02:23] But when the time was completed, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem those who were under the law and that we might receive the adoptions as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the spirit of His Son into our hearts. Crying, all crying, calling out, abba, Father, you are therefore a slave no longer, but through God, a son. And if a son, then an heir.
[00:02:56] You're an heir of God the minute you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you're a son. And you're. No, you're no longer under the elementary rules of the cosmos. You're no longer under the servitude of the law. Now, do we just remove them? No, we uphold the law.
[00:03:09] But the point is, is what makes you righteous is not law.
[00:03:14] Now there's people that will argue that, but it's not correct.
[00:03:18] You have to believe in the name of Jesus Christ and you have to work the Word and see exactly what it says. Where are we now?
[00:03:25] The law came to bring us to Christ.
[00:03:28] But where there is no law. Christ came to justify that law, to accomplish that law, in order that we might be free and named as the sons of God. If you go to chapter five, verse one, for this freedom, Christ has liberated us. Stand firm then. And do not be held again by the yoke of servitude. And that's servitude to the law. Verse 2. Take note of what I, Paul, tell you. If you become circumcised, Christ will not benefit you in the least. Circumcision was an act to show that the covenant, that there was a covenant between God and His people.
[00:04:04] And he's saying that that circumstance, circumcision means nothing now because we're circumcised in the heart. Verse 3. Once more, I assure every person who gets circumcised that he is obligated to practice the entire law. All of you whom who aim at justification by the law are severed from Christ. You have fallen away from grace.
[00:04:32] If your whole life revolves around your acts, you're missing the point of why Christ died for you.
[00:04:39] Now you have the Holy Spirit. Now you can build the relationship with God. Grace, which is God's loving disposition and peace, will make you full through the instrument of the epignosis. Having a true and personal relationship with God and His Son, Jesus Christ.
[00:04:56] That's what fills you up, the relationship. We are no longer severed from God.
[00:05:02] You're a son of God. You can have a relationship. You can communicate, you can talk to you, you can hear from.
[00:05:09] That's what the beauty is now. We don't just throw it away. You uphold the law, but it's not that doesn't make you righteous. You're already righteous.
[00:05:19] You're already righteous with God. You don't have to condemn yourself if you do something wrong.
[00:05:24] Godly grief worketh a change in your moral position.
[00:05:27] You're going to feel it. You're going to want to change it in your life. You know it. Anguish. Anguish and tribulation comes to those who do evil. That's just the way it is. That's the result of doing wrong.
[00:05:39] But that's not how God looks at you.
[00:05:42] He looks at you as sons and as righteous. And sometimes you got to understand that, because how do you look at yourself? What are you telling yourself?
[00:05:50] The things. We're to think on things. Think to yourselves on psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord. Those are the things you're to think on.
[00:06:00] You're to think on God's word and let that stuff just revolve in your mind.
[00:06:06] What are you thinking on and where are you spinning out on? I guess where are you spending out at? That's even. I'm ending that in a preposition. We'll skip that. But where are you spinning out?
[00:06:16] You gotta choose God. You gotta choose what God tells you in life. And you gotta stay.
[00:06:22] Pray the big prayers today lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. When you pray, it's always to God. The word prayer means to God. Depending on where it is you pray to God, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ with the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Have a great day. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:06:51] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much for everything you do for us. I pray for last night and I mean just take care of the situation. Just heal whatever it is that got damaged and that I don't even have to see it, that it's taken care of before I even see it. I thank you again for the moments of my life. I pray for my family. I'm very, very grateful for those you've surrounded me with. Thank you for my friends, thank you for the fellowship and everybody who comes to fellowship. I also thank you for the believers out there that you take care of them. I also pray for everything that's going on, especially in the atmosphere. You take care of that situation because it's making me crazy. And I thank you again for the moments of my life, for the little things, for the big things and that we can just figure out everything that's going on with these stumps and this gets done today.
[00:07:38] And yeah, I'm grateful for it. Thank you for everything you do for me. In the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
[00:12:36] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much for today. Thank you for kind of calming my mind down and getting me to a point where I'm not. I'm not losing it. I thank you for just everything that's going on, that you just show me the way to do it and how to do it.
[00:12:51] I pray for the teachings that they just continually bless those that listen. And yeah, for just everybody in the business. For Terry, I just pray that you just take care of him and his pursuits and for Brian and that you just bless him coming in and yeah, I'm just thankful for what you do for us.
