Preparing yourself for the study of God’s Word
Before we begin, if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (that is— you have trusted in Him for eternal life), it is important to prepare yourself to take-in God’s Word or participating in a Communion Service, so take a moment to name, cite or acknowledge your sins privately directly to God the Father. This will assure that you are in fellowship with God the Father and the Holy Spirit’s convicting ministry, also called the convincing ministry will then be able to teach you as the Holy Spirit is the real teacher and the pastor’s message is the vehicle the Holy Spirit uses to convince you what you are learning is true or not.
1 John 1:9 says—“If we confess [simply name, cite or acknowledge to God the Father] our sins [known sins], He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins [known sins] and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness [all unknown and forgotten sins];” NKJV (New King James Version); we call this REBOUND, read the full doctrine as to “why” we need to use 1 John 1:9 to grow spiritually. REBOUND
If you have never personally believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior (
that is, believed in Him for eternal life), the issue for you is not to name your sins to God; the issue for you is to believe by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life and you will be saved the very second you believe in Him:
John 6:47 says: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” NKJV
Notice again what John 6:47 says,
“he who believes in Me [
Jesus Christ]
has everlasting life.” It doesn’t say, “will have”; it says, “
has.” Therefore, the very moment you believe Jesus Christ’s promise of everlasting life, you have it (
it’s really just that simple), and it can never be lost or taken away from you (
John 10:28-29). Furthermore, the gift of everlasting life (
also called eternal life in scripture) is available to every human being; there are absolutely no exceptions.
John 3:14-18 says: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” NKJV
Let us now bow our hearts and take a moment to prepare for learning God’s Word, if there is any known sin in your life, this is the time to just cite it privately to God the Father with your thoughts directed towards Him. With your head bowed and your eyes closed, you have total privacy in your mind and soul:
Our Pastor-Teacher is:
This ministry is non-denominational and is dedicated to
teaching the Word of God from the original languages and
making it available at no charge throughout the world.
Sermon
NOTES
Unlike the bible study, these notes are not just for reading without watching the video. These notes are more designed to follow along during the sermon and to bring up the “hover pop-up scripture references” (some websites may require to left click the link, if that doesn’t work then look them up in your Bible) when the Pastor asks everyone to turn to that passage in their bibles.
Sermon: Dispensation of the Mosaic Law.
The Fifth Commandment. Authority is Important.
We have now begun a study on the Fifth Commandment — Honor Your Father and Mother or Respect for Authority = applies to the four divine institutions: (1) Volition; (2) Marriage; (3) Family; (4) Nationalism; produces patriotism.
The Hebrew verb in Exo 20:12 is kabad which refers to honor and respect.
Here, the word kabad refers to respect for the AUTHORITY of your father and your mother with the promise of blessings for those who respond to the command.
This is not a commandment to love your parents or even to respect them as a person but, it is a
commandment TO RESPECT and honor THEIR AUTHORITY.
Now, I said on Sunday that marriage and the family for the Christian is the most difficult, the most challenging and the place of more failures in the Christian life than anything else.
2Ti 3:12 And indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
Ecc 9:9 says Enjoy life with the woman whom you love all the days of your life which woman God has given to you under the sun; for this is your reward in life, and in your toil in which you have labored under the sun.
And so when the Lord created the woman for the man, He desired that marriage should be the beginning of virtue-love and respect in your relationship, not the end of love.
There has to be an understanding of the principles of Bible doctrine and respect for the authority within the marriage and the family.
Now, when Eph 5:32 talks about the mystery, it is referring to the mystery that goes back to the Garden of Eden and the principle of what the first Adam lost in the Garden at the fall and what the last Adam, TLJC, restored and how it relates to the angelic conflict.
All it takes is one person in a marriage to become degenerate or involved with apostasy and that marriage has an excellent chance of self-destruction.
The woman must respect the man. The man must respect the woman, while the family is taught legitimate principles of authority.
A genuine marriage starts with some sort of love and as time goes on and the two involved become less attractive physically, the relationship even becomes greater because it becomes spiritual.
Any relationship in life, to be successful, must be founded upon principle.
But there is usually “no time off” from marriage.
And sometimes it may start out as a good marriage but it isn’t going to make it because it just takes one in the marriage who fails in the spiritual life.
Now, two people who are mismatched in marriage, without the principle of Bible doctrine or without the establishment principles for the unbeliever, will not make in marriage.
Now more mistakes are made today in Christian marriages than anywhere else because marriage is also a very sensitive spot with regard to your spiritual life.
Privacy should continue after marriage but in many cases, it doesn’t.
And you surrender a certain amount of privacy in marriage and as you do so it is inevitable that you get to know the one that you’re married to.
In reality the ultimate in happiness is fulfilling the PPOG [Predesigned Plan of God].
Once people get their eyes on people it is very difficult to remain in objectivity in the PPOG.
Subjectivity = Occupation with yourself Objectivity = Occupation with others.
And when you’re stuck with someone and the facade of their beauty or their attractiveness or whatever it was disappears….. then it is very difficult to remain in a situation like that.
If you are a woman with money never marry a man who doesn’t have money unless you have seen your lawyer and he has written up for you a contract where your money always stays with you.
The tragedy in marriage is not the problems between the husband and wife but the fact that born-again believers cannot handle their own problems – because of a lack of understanding Bible doctrine!
1. Marital problems are symptoms but the disease is the OSN = Human failure in life.
This is why 2Co 5:16-17, says Therefore from now on we recognize no man according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
2. Marriages fail because people are failures as human beings NOT BECAUSE OF MARRIAGE. It’s not the failure of marriage but the failure of people in marriage.
3. Marriage is not designed for happiness but for virtue. Virtue = conforming to certain standards or rights. Virtue = Christian Doctrine applied to every facet of life.
4. Virtue is the source of happiness not marriage.
Marriage is not a solution to anything but it’s for those who have found their solutions.
5. Most people try to solve marital problems by changing their partners.
6. The problem with marriage therefore is people – not marriage.
7. The Man must never use his authority to try and change his wife.
8. Marital counseling is a waste of time – all counciling does is give people personal attention rather than – Bible doctrine.
9. Most people approach marital problems from the standpoint of subjectivity – self being justified in their own actions.
However, in marriage there are TWO souls involved AND sets of volition – one should never dis-regard the input of the other.
He has no virtue, honor, or integrity when he doesn’t realize the woman has a soul – ie. (Free-will).
10. Men-you can’t destroy your wife’s free-will and then expect them to love you, etc.
11. Solutions to marital problems are never permanent because people are failures.
12. Marital problems should never be made public property but solved in privacy.
13. Solutions for believers only in marriage is spiritual growth.
14. Real decision therefore to solve your marital problems is your daily attitude toward doctrine – and how high in your scale of values doctrine is.
15. Problems in marriage is not incompatibility with believers but failure to apply two doctrines: 1) Humility 2) Virtue
16. Most marriages are failures for the following reasons (I have seven): a. Bad decisions in the selection of a mate. This is why losers shouldn’t make a decision for marriage until doctrine matures them!
17. Inability to handle personal problems before, during, and after marriage.
18. Failure to learn doctrine
19. Unstable in church attendance = instability in marriage.
20. Taking bad advice – (friends, ministers, mommy, daddy, etc).
21. Dis-loyalty and unfaithfulness on the part of one or both mates – Prov 6:32.
22. (7) No personal sense of responsibility on one or both mates.
23. You can’t solve a bad marriage by having children, you just make a bad marriage worse.
24. A pastor must learn the humility of not answering marital problems because he doesn’t have all the facts even though he may have answers.
25. Marriage is not designed for perfect people but for people with OSN. So, don’t think there’s a perfect person for you.
26. Therefore, the only wrong with marriage is not principal of marriage – but people.
27. No woman can be successful in marriage unless she has learned to entertain herself.
28. Ladies again – you did not marry an entertainer but a provider.
29. No man can be a successful lover of a woman and at the same time be a successful lover of himself.
This is why Paul says in Eph 5:28 So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;
24. No man can exercise his authority properly as a husband without honor, integrity, and virtue.
