Pentecost—The New Church—Tongues—Outpouring_ Behavior of the Church_ Apostles Doctrine, Peter's Teaching - Jewish Distinctive -- Continued

Your father we thank you for this day that has been set aside that we're able to use to come and study. Your word would be involved in the process of mining the jewels and your place within your word or lard goal is to go through that process of epistemological Rehabilitation where our orientation the truth is changed to come from your scripture Lord. And with that we understand and recognize that the spiritual life is lived by Grace is not a matter of work. It's not a matter of priest not a matter of the incantations or mysticism. Not a matter of our will and desire to do things the hard it is a matter of a provision has been made available to us to the person in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ there for a Reliance on that. We have trusted in his work in person for our Salvation having Not imputed in a crude to us. We know we have been made eternally alive to God certainly alive to you dear heavenly father. And so we thank you for that new realm the new Supernatural round the we can function and if we recognize that the function It Is by grace that is trusting in receiving and relying on the work that you have done on our behalf more till we come to your word that we might learn about that. We might learn about the things that are relevant to that and today that we might learn about the things relevant to the church and the distinctive that is still there for the Jewish people that we need to recognize and understand it. So we praise you we thank you. I am the Blessed name of our Lord savior Christ Jesus amen

So we've been on any interesting Journey this last year more ways than one and I'm continually reminded that God the holy spirit gives the Divine architect as we are submitted to the process of rightly dividing God's word. Of course, we are going through a Doctrine in categories of Doctrine and our teaching in our orientation, but even more specifically we have been submitted to an idea of going through scripture verse by verse and submitting to that process. It's interesting from a pastoral perspective how God always shakes that tractor or interactions between the various teachings and sermons that were involved in we have the three main studies be Wednesday night, which is a study in right now. Ezekiel in eschatology, we have the Sunday morning study, which has been a review going from Hanukkah to Christmas to New Year's dealing with the various topics that are there biblically and then jumping into an investigation of the church in light of Pentecost, which we started on the day of Pentecost back in when was that May June forget what day it was studying that we've been working our way to the book of Acts, which also dovetails into our need to reorient as a congregation to what scripture says about the church or ecclesiology the study of the things of the church and what we need to understand a lot of this is background for rightly orienting to all of the candy. Scripture but it also is relevant to our understanding of how we might function as an assembly with gifts and rolls and God is distributed for the benefit of the assembly and how those are to be utilized in what guidance we will have an app right. Now. We're dealing with the issue that comes out of her to verse 42 we read that having been converted. I'm all these 3,000-plus Jews who received the Lord Jesus Christ as their Messiah. They were oriented to Doctrine and the teaching of the Apostles. They were oriented to The Taking of communion, which is about Doctrine. So there is no such thing as communion where you just take away four in a cup and you sip it and you drink it, but you don't know what it represents. Communion is not what the Lord said before us. He set before us doctrines and precepts which we are to understand which we are thinking about at the time that we take communion. So we have again the orientation to the apostles teaching in orientation to the doctrine of communion and an orientation to prayer which is again application of Bible Doctrine in our soul in our fellowship with God and then that Word Fellowship itself has to do with how we connect on a point of Truth with God in his we are examining his truth which he is set before us there is that Fellowship that we have that is the basis or the key of Fellowship Fellowship is rightly orienting towards the doctrine of God has set before us. Male, some people may think that's dry. I need a little get up and go and my Sunday morning service. We need to clap our hands and shout and jump up and down a little bit but maybe not so much here, but there are many places. Look at that seems to be what they want or at least I need some hugs and some smiles when I come in the door to feel good about what's going on. Well, that's all good. That's nice. Nothing wrong with that. But that is not full of s*** photo ship is thinking of touching on the things of God and in the filling of the spirit as I am focused and I am unable to walk in the power of the spirit. God himself can mix with me is I am orienting towards truth. We have spent some time looking at Ephesians 5:18 where it says do not be filled with wine, but rather be filled by means of the Examine that and showed you that it doesn't actually say be filled up with this. It's not like we're the cop and the Holy Spirit is the coffee that gets poured in and we get filled up with the spirit rather. It says by means of the spirit. What were filled up with is not the spirit per se but we are filled with the spirit. We do have the presence of God the Holy Spirit, but we're filled up with as we looked at the pillow passage and clock Shannon's chapter 3. We are filled up with the word of God. It is the word of God that the Holy Spirit fills us with so we're to be constantly Orion. It's a Doctrine to doctrinal teaching to the word of God that is where we have that connection. There is a joy cuz I just don't know how to express in any other way that comes from. Spending time in God's word whose I spend time in the study of God's word. There is within my being a rejoicing there is within my being a sense of the rightness of God's order. That's why when we hear someone teaching incorrectly or wrongly or with a orientation that is not Grace Orient. It is not doctor oriented or they have the misunderstanding of the things of the spirit. So they're pneumatology is incorrect. We have a wind scene inside because we have learned proper Doctrine like that is a ride, but then when we hear the right thing the right teaching and it's about Grace it's about the work that God himself does the word that God the Holy Spirit does man we have that sense of rejoicing inside. So that has been happening in following our track of what we're reviewing the next chapter 2 with all of those brand new Believers that has been happening with them and Peter addresses that in the Epistle of First Peter and he talks about these basic doctrines really in many ways our review of what time to be happening at the beginning and Acts chapter 2. the idea Yeah, is that there's some essential things you need to understand number one Peter starts out in chapter 1 in the last portion, which we studied through here about 3 weeks ago. Number one we have the idea that we are oriented to understand that salvation is from the seed of God of gods were heard of that. The word in the vocabulary for seed use there in 1st Peter is the same term same idea that we get sperm from that is it is the basis of conception. It is the basis of causing fertility that word comes into the being of a person they receive it just like a pig or an ovum receives the sperm and then we have life and that's what happens at that moment, but it is different than biological life. And Peter makes it very clear. It is the Eternal Word of God. It is an eternal seed or an eternal sperm. If you will the comes and causes this life and that is the moment at which we are regenerate that is we are born again. We are made and brought to a point of new life that has the word of God which we have Reese. Therefore we are changed in a sense that new spiritual life begins. And it is Peter says eternal life because the word is eternal. The sperm is eternal there for when we receive it. We are made you truly alive. That is the nature of the new life when we are born into new life. We are made eternally alive. It's not a life that can come and go but I might have it today and lose it tomorrow like some of your minions might teach or minions would be your opinion costals. Hello. I've got the spirit. I got the spirit. Oh, I've lost my salvation. That would be the Pentecostal view or maybe some of your friends so you can go to one of the Wesleyan style churches the we have a few of them around here and I won't name names specifically but come up to me afterwards and all let you in on who they are. But the idea that they have is all that person's following a life of sin now they were doing good. But now they're not doing good. And so obviously they lost their salvation because they don't have the fruit that shows that they're born. Again. That's an Armenian view. What God is saying, is it somehow you had me Turtle life, but then you lost it. That's not Eternal lie to see Eternal goes on forever forever and ever were in fine. So for our perspective eternity is here for word, and it keeps on going without ever stopping that is eternity from our perspective. There's even more to it than that. We might say they're from God's perspective. There is also the idea of eternal life has to do with the volume of what is available to you. Also the strength the Vitality the resources that are eminently right now available to you at every situation you are in throughout your Christian Life. There is more life available to you. Then you have the capacity to handle. Eternal life is beyond your grasp and yet you haven't you've been given that you've been made in Eternal creature. So this idea is then that you are born it is any true life. Therefore you must understand the some people call the once saved always saved view of Christianity or we might call it the security of your salvation. That is your salvation is secure yourselves a shin is certain because you are born of God. You did not warn yourself. It's not how it happens. We don't born ourselves. We're not amoebas. We don't split off and say oh

We can't do that when we can't generate ourselves. Not a single one of us just showed up on this few we might wonder about but none of us just showed up on this Earth. We are all born of a mother and a father that came together. And therefore there was a generation of life and in the case of eternal life. That is we receive the word of God. We are made generatore born again. So what I'm trying to paint is an idea to Peter here was confusing and his first epistle and when he gets through all of that when he makes all of his statements about the word of God and about the nature of our salvation and he steps in the First Peter chapter 2, and he says this thing he says put aside and he gives a list of mental attitude sins put aside all of these things. Chains which will inhibit your growth that is if you have any Turtle nature, but you block The Taking of the food which is eternal eat turtle food needed to grow in your Eternal nature in your Eternal spiritual life. If you don't take him that food, you won't grow and he says you need to put upside all of these until we went through that list of different middle-latitude sins that are there allowed you to address those and see those we are the best those put them aside. Not only put them aside but we are to do that putting off and putting on of the new what are we putting off soon? Make sure how do we do that by confession of sin? And then cuz he had just confessed soon and then it's over with Because Paul tells us in multiple Epistles. We have to put off the old and put on the new in Ephesians even gives us examples. He says if you are a lawyer, then you are to put that off and speak words of truth. He senior fill the void of the sin by confessing and then living the spiritually empowered life is as if you're a thief you are to put away the thieving and become employed make sure that you are a person who has gained by virtue of employment and through the abundance the God gives you an unemployment. Then you are to give to the poor and help those people in need. So you go from one who is stealing and robbing others by virtue of taking what is not yours to being a person of productivity is and then gives of your productivity to others. This is a supernatural reality. Funny the Divine institution principles match it in terms of responsibility. If our nation weren't you overnight switch from the entitlement mentality that we live in all these individuals for living off of the teat of the government that is they are getting their resources or money their cell phones or apartments the provisions for all of their six kids from five different fathers, whatever it maybe if we were to move away from that the whole situation looks very different. We are not to be those who steal we are to be those who work and therefore have means and therefore give we have much in the ghettos where the individuals have learned you either get it by fraud with the government stealing from the government and a system of socialism where in you're taking from other people or I doing illicit drugs, which is against stealing. From the resources of others and then those people who are involved in the use of drugs or stealing from other places to get the money to pay the people who are stealing really / for their community. So there is a multiple levels of Deceit and fraud and lying and all of that that is going on and answer is to become productive. But you see the difference between the believer in the unbeliever is that the believer has Supernatural means to be involved in these things and there are Supernatural rewards by being involved in these things as I put off soon. Goodnight take on the new there is a change that happened to our Supernatural benefits. God is glorified in that process is I depend on him because I work in the power of the spirit is I am gauge the doctor. Orientation is I'm engaged and Grace orientation. God is glorified the Lord Jesus Christ Who provided the means is glorify God the Holy Spirit who is involved in the lifting up of the individual the supporting in the empowerment is glorified. The whole different process and it man just does it by himself any man can do that stop doing one thing and start doing another anyone can change from a bad habit to a good habit. Everyone can do that. But to utilize Super Natural Resources only a Believer can do that anime. Look the same from the outside looking in we may say or do will that person has changed her life. Good for that. They may say they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps. That is they had the Jena se qua to be able to do that, which is needed to get them into a productive life.

Or we might say, oh look at that person who's a Believer how much they have changed in their motivation in there thinking they are actually dependent on God and look at how God meets their every need and every situation. They learn to live by faith rest in the character in the person of God. He is providing you see we as Believers have the ability oftentimes to perceive that sometimes people who have eyes opened and 10 is ready. They are open to the gospel, but they haven't stepped through that place of Faith. They haven't been born again yet, but oftentimes are aware. They see it they get it. They see that there's something that they don't have that. Is there remember sitting on the back porch in my parents house many many decades ago and the neighbor from across the street neighbors were over in there visiting with Mom and Dad on the back porch and sitting there talking and stuff and my mom had that, you know been through a brain tumor and all kinds of issues had to have brain surgery back in the 80s 81 remember repercussions of the for that adapter and my mom was saying, you know, it's just

she was explaining my my mom has a way of being transparent sheet as a person whom there is no guile. She doesn't pretend to thing you just is who she is and says what's going on and she says, you know people may look at me or not.

But see what's going on not understand how dependent I am on God and the people who are sitting there the neighbors who are not Believers said, oh we can absolutely see that you're depending on God and the God is taking care of you. But they were born again Believers and yet they could perceive they could see it. They were very aware that God was involved in that why so be aware that that is the case that is possible there many unbelievers who still have the ability to perceive which means that they are open to the gospel and that the Lord is Ministry and witnessing to them so you can share and be involved in that process. So again back to 1st Peter chapter 2 Paul or Peter Peter Peter. Peter says put away all these ways of thinking is mental attitude since because every one of these blocks takes away your desire for the doctrine and for the word of God. This is key. This is a baby believer thing because he is saying now it's interesting. He doesn't say you are all to be like babies.

You are oriented towards baby milk in the baby food know he's saying something different. You says you are all to be like babies in the sense that you have a funker and a thirst for milk milk of the doctrine of God's word. You were to have an appetite for God's word that is only like that which a newborn baby has Which they eat breathe sleep poop. A nurse, that's all they do. That's all they wanted and there's crying baby crying and keeping you up seems to be part of it. No sleep allowed for the parents. But the idea here is it weird to have but absolutely need a desire and absorption for the word of God. Now if things are right in your life that will be the case. If you don't have a desire for God's word, if you don't have that itch like, it's Sunday morning. I need to get down there. I can't do it, but I'm going to do it anyways, because I need to hear I need to drink I need to take him God's word. That's a good sign. It doesn't matter what your baby believer or you're an adult believer. The issue is the same weird having an intense desire computer lays it out there. There's just a handful of things are going to get between you and the word of God is so you were to deal with these using Supernatural means you might have a supernatural hunger. Which is normal and healthy in the Supernatural realm so Peter dwells deals with that and then he pops into that passage, which we reviewed Verses 4 through 10 of 1st Peter chapter 2 and there are he explained to us a couple of things.

Number one. He's addressing because Peter is the Apostle to the Jews as Paul is the Apostle to the Gentiles Peter is the Apostle to the Jews and so 1st Peter and 2nd Peter are what we call Jewish Epistles. The target audience is Jews not all believers is not writing to the Gentiles know that's important because I'm Verses 4 through 10. There are things that are specifically addressed to the Jews that are not addressed to the Gentiles. And so we spend a couple of weeks digging into that going through and reviewing that No.

We catch the slides up here.

Ugly went through that process. We uncovered a number of ways in which this passage only refers to Jews but does not refer to all of the church there certain distinctives in there. That's what we're working on right now is the Hebrew Christian.

For the Messianic Jewish distinctive that is what is different. What is distinct for a Jewish believer right now in the church age?

What is different for a Jew than it is for a gentile? That's part of what we've been working on the last week. We took a look at the the bremec Covenant.

So we have essentially Four Points.

So the distinctives lie in four lines of Doctrine or four points of biblical truth. How are the Jews different?

We have the abramo Covenant you see the abramo coming and we went through we study that is to the descendants of Abraham. So if you are a descendant of Abraham, then this applies to you if you have Jewish background, if you have Jewish Family Heritage FedEx in this applies to you, there isn't a bramon covenant. It is still available to those who are Jews whether they're saved or not saying for you now you are to be saved. If you want to go to heaven you are to be saved. If you want to have eternal life you are to be saved if you want to step into the fullness of the experience, but the promise to the Jewish people is through Abraham. The second thing we see it. We're going to look at the second third and fourth points today. We have the doctrine of the remnant. We're going to beat review. So this is a specific principle that is called out in the text of scripture the doctrine of the remnant. So you should understand the concept of Remnant. It is those people who are left over if you remove a bunch of people those who left are the remnant if a bunch of people are killed those who lived are the remnant if you have a mission like Israel or the Jewish people and only a portion believe on your shoe at Jesus as their machines as their Messiah they are the remnant of God. The believing Jews are the remnant thanks will be looking at that and then we have the doctrine of the Olive Tree. Which Paul presents Us in Romans chapter 9 10 and 11. We have that passage where he is explaining what's going on with the Jewish people in with Israel. And how do we Gentiles relate to that? And so we have the doctrine of the Olive Tree? We need to examine that so in short what it means is that we come by haven't been grafted into the tree. We have benefits they come from the Jewish people, but God is not cutting off. The Jewish people is the entire point and they will be grafted back into the tree their unbelieving now when they believe they will be grafted back into the tree and then fourth we we have the doctrine of the Israel of God. So we have the house of Israel, which is all Jews believing and unbelieving and then we have the Israel of God and distinct way the god addresses a group of people in those group of people are Jewish Believers. We need to understand that there are distinct is there are difference is that scripture makes about Jewish people than from the gentile people in that should be in our mind reading through Acts chapter two going through that passage because it is all Jewish people at that point beginning of the church age is Jewish people who are the remnant of Israel are those who are say the church is built on the back of Jesus and the Gentiles are grafted into that. And so we're going to dress that.

Couple of questions that I had left for you guys to be thinking through his are there distinct is left in place a scripture is determined for us that need to be noted. So that's what we're answering. So you get to think about where answering this question or their distinctive and I just laid out the four lines. We're going to be pursuing so last week we pursued the abrahamic Covenant other question. We had is are the Jews and Gentiles alike in one single homogeneous mixture. Or do we need to think differently about our Jewish Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Do they function different in the spiritual life? Do they have different promises available to them? How do we need to understand that so that's part of what we're making sure we understand as I mentioned before what we are up to right now is taking the systematic View and understanding of what Arnold fruchtenbaum is called is real study of Israel has been missing from all of the Systematic Theology that is out there. Even our own history though. It's been right in many ways is not fully expose or brought forward the doctrine of Israel ologies to work making sure that we are spending some time on that. So we have those distinctive in mine. Rights were picking up on the doctrine of the remnant. the doctrine of the rims

So the second base is the first was the Brannock Covenant the second basis of the Hebrew Christian distinctive is described and Romans chapter 11 verses 1 through 10. So we're going to read that Romans 11 verses 1 through 10. Who Paul is addressing this?

Vanessa Guillen

No, no, it's just different terminologies and some people like to use one term or another or just like anything. You know, you have a house you have a home you got a place whatever we want to call it. You know, you got your Mansion everyone is a different way of viewing the same thing. So there are many who are out there. But who because they are part of the Jewish Community to his cousins, you know, a Jewish Family Jewish people who know that they're Jewish they want to say I'm a Messianic Jew Cuz they're saying I'm not following the ortho Orthodox Judaism or Reform Judaism, but I'm actually following this idea that Jesus or are you sure he is the best the Messiah or in the Hebrew the machine. The way the Jews understand him how they hear it. So they want to have something that doesn't come across Tenney. If you will, sometimes we hear someone say something in the way they say it doesn't ring right but has a Tim sound to camera goes back to the days when we started out and radio and you can hear certain types of the microphones and sounds were recording. There's a warmth that came across so people would sit around their radios listening to the shows and there is a warrant the sense that you're there you could hear the motion and the breadth of the Mission of the people's voices when he got a different kind of Mike and I have it in the sound like there is a 10-cup there and it was the reverberating it just sounds off and not right. So that's the idea of something sounding too and it's a mini who are Jewish hearing about Jesus sounds to me but it should because there was no Jesus actually he was Joshua. His Hebrew name jeshua, which is the same as Joshua. It's the exact same Hebrew word and name Joshua. God Saves what it means and so when they hear it in the Hebrew that I can actually hear it instead of this westernized weird it up way that we have transliterated the sound and everything, you know from the Hebrew to the Greek and from the Greek to the Latin Latin to English. The moon were walking around talking about Jesus has absolutely nothing in common with your shoe up. so what they're doing by saying Messianic Jews is they're taking away the two meanest and they're giving a recep tivity and an ability for other Jews build to hear what's going on with him to not immediately put up roadblocks and say oh you're talking about

Doesn't sound right doesn't make sense. If you have a Jewish background, it's kind of a crazy weird thing. But if they're talking about there a Messianic Jew and they have come to believe in Yeshua as the meshiaak mean. They're going to tell me more about that. The instant revulsion and repulsion what's being said doesn't come up. So that is one of the reasons why they want to call themselves Messianic Jews who call themselves completed Jews or talk about others as completed use because they are a Jew but has come to completion as the point of being Jewish and having found the real Messiah. That is Jesus. So, why'd you are to our passage then I save in has God Cast Away his people. Which you speaking of? the Jewish people He says certainly not it's actually a strong statement that Paul uses again and again throughout the book.

The Book of Romans he says for I also he says I am an Israelite so Israelite is who he's talking about his people

The Seed of Abraham see how important this is, but it is every juice every person with a promise comes from the CD. That is they are down line. Probably knows any ancestor Abraham of The Tribe of Benjamin. So he's making a point. Not only is he of the Seed of Abraham, but he is up one of the 12 tribes of Israel or Jacob and that happens to be the Tribe of Benjamin Benjamin was the good-looking happy-go-lucky last child born to Jacob and the 12th son. It was the son the love of Jacob's life. The one that he could not live without especially after having lost Joseph the way that his brothers took him and threw in a bit and then pretended like he was dead when they sold them off to a traveling slavers.

And Paul is tracing his roots back you saying I am not only of Abraham. I have my Benjamin the distinctive is here. I know it and I'm keeping it by Castaway his people whom he foreknew or do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel. Saying boo, or they have killed your prophets and torn down your altar. alone, and I'm left the receipt my life now was

Rewind your right was he alone left? No, that was a response. That was a reaction. You had a sense that there was nothing left, but it was only he would have made it through the Judgment that was there for all the other prophets have been killed by a band Jezebel and all of the all of the altars. I've been torn down. That is the place of worship. Beyond basic my life

before but what does the Divine response say to him? I have reserved for myself 7000 men who have not bowed the knee to Baal. They have not bowed. We need to bail. 7000 thousand men

No notice this back in verse 3.

I alone am left but they're seeking to kill me. He's saying I'm the remnant. I'm all that's left but God is saying no, there's actually a larger rementin. You know, there are 7000 Will Not Bow the knee to Baal in the land of Israel the northern kingdom. There are seven thousand men who are faithful to me who are honoring me respond. I even sold in Paul says at this present time.

There is a remnant. according to the election of Grace There is a Remnant according to the election of Grace know what we're saying here. Is this not talking about predestination, but there are those who are

Appointed to survive when everyone else is appointed to destruction. What we're saying here is that God has a plan and a provision and in that plan in the provision. There is a Grace presentation, but in his plan and his provision he knew and understood there would be many who would follow after. so Paul is addressing this issue of the Jews but Jewish nation and Romans is written about a d 5052 I believe and so this is years before the fall of Jerusalem. And he's addressing this idea that the Jews have been dislocated and then taken out of the planet. So, you know know there's plenty of Jews who believe and God has established a man called them and they're believing Jews. He is saying here are the remnant according to the election of Grace. There's a great plan and Grace provision. And so therefore there are Jews who have been said then it's part of his eternal plan. He has elected that he will protect and provide and Israel that is the descendants of Abraham will continue until he returns and then all Israel will be saved will have the Messianic Kingdom moving forward but the remnant heater in this context According to the election of Grace that means there is a remnant of those who are Jewish who have been saved.

46 and it says and if by Grace then it is no longer of Works. Otherwise Grace is no longer Grace, but it is of works. It is no longer Grace otherwise works is no longer work. So he's making a statement here that God has provided a means for those who are Jewish to be saved and that means is Grace at work. It's not by works. Yeah, you may hear a term called dual covenants dual covenants what this says is put in the Old Testament. The Jews were saved by The Works that they did keep in the law was how they were say and they will tell you this themselves rabbis teach this by their works if they were saved do we get into the reformed Jews and they start teaching you that it's actually by your orientation to scripture. As you connect the scripture to the Torah and that way you will be saved. We have a modern heresy that has jumped up and is taught by Christians who say well, it's a dual covenant. I means if you're a gentile your saved by grace, you have to appeal to the grace work of Jesus Christ. But if you're a Jew you're saying done the old-fashioned way in the Old Testament way. But you see they're mixing their Concepts in the right ideas together their confusing the Brannock Covenant with the Mosaic Covenant and they're trying to act like they are required to keep the Mosaic government in order to be saved. Let me be very clear on this. No one ever in the history of the Earth has ever been saved by keeping the Mosaic Covenant. Is that a shark? No one ever has been saved by keeping the Mosaic Covenant the law will you read an in The Exodus Leviticus Numbers and Deuteronomy? No individual was saved by the keeping of the law. The law was established for multiple purposes and their different divisive that is separate sections of the law, but long story short the Lord Jesus Christ Alone of all individuals actually was able to keep all tenants of the law number one because he wasn't a legalist. He wasn't trying to fulfil the letter of the law, but

Avoid the spirit the meaning the intent of the law brother. He understood God's intentions what he wanted what he meant and he live perfectly seamless Lee and as a Jew he kept the aspects of the law that God had communicated without sin. He was a perfect and therefore able to be presented in our place and its Perfection because he kept the Mosaic law which showed that he was perfect in every aspect. He never had to go and give a Sim off ring for his sins because he never did Sin Interesting everyone else when they send they had to go in and bring sin offerings for the sins. We have no record of the gospels tonuzi. Jesus went into offer sin offerings though because he didn't send and he was actually the savior. He was the sin offering for the whole world, but we're told that the law comes to an end because it is fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ and what laws at talking about the Mosaic law, so people who try to confuse the abrahamic Covenant with the Mosaic and it makes me think that there is a need to keep the law. So if no one was ever saved by keeping the law, why would someone be trying to keep the law now for salvation? Why would a Christian be teaching that the Jews need to keep the law to be saved and the Christians need to have faith in the soya to be safe? One has to have faith in the Messiah to be safe. That's the entire point of Peter.

We watched him Ascend into heaven is seated at the right hand of God, and he said his holy spirit which you are seeing now here on the temples of the steps. I'm sure Boo. It's on the day of Pentecost. You are seeing it now being poured out these people speaking in tongues. This is an indication that God the holy spirit is doing that new thing for those who turn to him who shoob respond to the messiahship of Jesus Christ.

What then must we do to be saved. They said and he said to them well He says believe be baptized and then there will be the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

So what are they believing but your shoe what is indeed the Messiah as he's been outlining as he's been speaking about in Acts chapter 2 so important that you stay with the story you keep up with the narrative you understand what's going on you make the connection to Joel chapter 2 is dealing with the issue of the shoe being of Israel before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit comes on. Now what happens in Acts chapter 2 is not what Joel to is prophesying Peter said this is like that

Freddie Gibbs the illustration and what that is actually at the New Covenant that is at the end of the tribulation when all Israel believes or shoobs Jesus Christ returns and he opens up the Messianic Kingdom in an opening up the Messianic Kingdom. He pours out his Spirit on the Jews on Jewish Believers Peter saying this is like that this is not that this is an application of that concept is for any who you pouring out his Spirit. There is a new thing that is being done here. So Paul here in Romans 11:6 the saying it's it's by Grace. You can't say there's one system for Jews and one system for Gentiles. It's all by Grace. You said it's by Grace. Then there isn't works. He's already taught them and all of Romans in the last many passages and chapters that line by line point-by-point. It's by Grace because it's by faith you believe by faith in the work of your shoe at the mess as you believe in his work at that moment. You're made regenerate your imputed righteousness. You are born again. God gives you provision and power to live a spiritual why so by the time we're up here in Romans chapter 11, he's making that reference. He's already made this point very solid. He says if it's by Grace, which I've already Established then it can no longer be of works works have nothing to do with it. He says otherwise Grace is no longer. If you put Works into the middle of it, then it's not Grace. That's why when we were talking to our calvinistic friends and we're dealing with what they call lordship Salvation. They're saying you are born again. But if you're born again, you will have works. So you're saved by faith plus works is what they're saying. They literally doing change the definition of faith or to believe when they turn into a theological donut and in the center of it, they say actually to believe means to obey. Where does it say that anywhere in Scripture? It doesn't they jump through all kinds of Hoops and put all kinds of distortions in the text to try to prove that. It is a fail concept doesn't make any sense or trying to impose a system at the Ola Gian scripture. But that's what they're trying to say. If you have faith. That means you are they doing. They were heading Works to Faith Works to Grace. And Paul here says Grace is no longer Grace if works is involved. But if it is of works, it is no longer Grace. Otherwise work is no longer work. Besides you can't mix the two so I can corn oil and water you put them together. You can shake it up and get it instantly separate because all is a oil water is water get make them blend.

Oil separate out from water and Grace is always separate from worse. You can't make oil in the water and you can't make water and oil in the same way. You can't make Gracin to works that make works in the grace 47 what Ben Israel has not obtained. What is 6?

but the elect

obtained it and the rest were blinded. So what is he saying here? Saying that Israel trying to obtain through works is trying to seek salvation is trying to seek one miss with God but they're trying to do it through work. He said they aren't able to do it, but the elect. Here that is those who are born again. The born-again Jews have obtained it because they have crossed it in the provision in the work of your shoes, which they received by grace through faith Miss as in the rest were blinded everyone else of Israel who refused you shua Jesus we're blinded but I did not see they did not perceive because they refused it's not that they were blind and therefore they refused. Make sure you get that distinction. They refused the Messiah it's an act of the will it's a decision. We will not have that man rule over us. We will not have that Jesus rule over us. Sadducees the Pharisees those in the Sanhedrin the leading group of individuals who ruled over Israel kind of like the knesset today people of power and authority the elected body says we will not have that man rule over us.

So they refused therefore they were blinded. They were blinded to the truth to the understanding. Because when they did see they refuse therefore they could no longer see it's not that they couldn't see it. So they lost out there. That's not the way God works. God always gives us the ability to see to understand there is always a volitional component that's involved in blindness. We choose to not be there for we become blind. It's a matter of scar tissue in the soul. It's a matter of reaping what we sow the repercussions of refusing God's word. Same Doctrine is true of the believer has we refused the ology is refused applicable Doctrine and we develop a blindness and inability to operate correctly or right when we become blind because we have not received it verse 8 just as it is written.

Why is it they should not see any years that they should not here to this very day because they refused Jesus as Messiah. There is a stupor.

you ever wake up in the morning and

is just Alright, you're stumbling around you're doing the wrong things. You can't figure out what's going on.

I remember one day I won't tell you what you my brothers, but one of my brothers got up and went to use the bathroom and strangely. He walked in the kitchen and did his thing into the trash that was there. And you know, we all thought it was pretty funny. But sometimes you're so sleepy that you're in the wrong place doing something different than what you think you're doing. He thought he was in the right place, you know in the bathroom doing what you do there, but no he went in the kitchen and found the trash and Hard to understand but that is a matter of stupor stupor is related to the word stupid. That is we have an inability to think there is a blockage of right functioning that happens is that they should not see ears that they should not here to this very day. Why because they reject the Messiah therefore they cannot understand the things of God. Verse 9 and David says let their table become a snare and a trap and a stumbling block and their recompense to them or recompense let their table become snare and a trap.
