00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.640
real life presents the Jack Kibs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim

2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:17.160
truth equip the saints and impact our culture. God gave the law to not make us

3
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:22.960
better but to show us how bad we are. Is God's law pure and awesome and holy

4
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:30.200
absolutely? Should we not seek to perform it and do it? Yes, but not to think

5
00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:33.880
it's gonna give you salvation. I said it last week I got in trouble for it so I'll

6
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:43.440
say it again. Nowhere in the Old Testament is salvation promised to anyone. It's

7
00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:53.440
only prophesied to come. You can get the outlines of this podcast by going to

9
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:04.440
to live a more fulfilled life in Christ then make sure you leave us one of those

10
00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:10.520
five star ratings. To us that's like saying amen or yes then that rating will

11
00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:15.680
encourage others to listen. Now open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you.

12
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:22.320
Here is Jack Kibs. Today's your day my friend at least it can be because of what

13
00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:33.320
you're learning right now today. You've heard that now learn this. Verse 24 is

14
00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:37.600
beyond our I believe it's beyond our ability to comprehend. I personally believe

15
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:45.400
this being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in

16
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:57.720
Christ Jesus. Verse 24 is in my opinion the Holy of Holies of truth. If you could

17
00:01:57.720 --> 00:02:06.240
dream up a path of forgiveness you couldn't dream this one. It's beyond your dream.

18
00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:11.640
It's beyond your wildest expectations being justified freely. You have to

19
00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:16.440
remember this word in the Greek language is being watch everybody are you guys

20
00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:20.800
with me. You're very quiet and don't tell me you're listening that you look

21
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:27.240
kind of sleepy today. The word being here in the Greek language is being

22
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:35.040
perpetually ongoing. It's a very cool statement. You begin justified the moment you

23
00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:41.360
come to faith. You're justified and all the way through life until you breathe

24
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:46.840
your last breath you're justified. Wow God does that for me yes he does it for

25
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.640
you because he's got a big problem. He wants you with him but he's holy and

26
00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:55.200
you're not. So how does God maintain his holy character and his integrity

27
00:02:55.200 --> 00:03:02.720
without compromise. He's just if he's just he can't turn his back he can't turn

28
00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:06.640
his eyes away and act like you didn't commit adultery or rob a bank or have a

29
00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:12.880
dirty prideful thought. That's got to be dealt with. What does he do he's got a

30
00:03:12.880 --> 00:03:21.600
problem. How does he retain his character of being just and justify the

31
00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:28.560
ungodly. It's got to be big. It's got to be amazing being justified freely by

32
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:34.280
his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Messiah Jesus, Yeshua

33
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:41.400
Hamashiyah, verse 25, whom God set forth. Wow the word set forth is put on

34
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:54.560
display. Think of that. Put on display. A propitiation by his blood. In some of

35
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.040
your study Bibles the word propitiation don't let the word scare you it is a

36
00:03:58.040 --> 00:04:06.440
big word. You don't you don't read it every day. Propitiation is both in this

37
00:04:06.440 --> 00:04:13.560
context of Scripture is both a person and a place. Hear me out. Especially those

38
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:17.400
of you who know your Old Testament. You say wait a minute Jack the mercy seat

39
00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:23.040
propitiation the place of the blood that's the lid that goes on top of Stephen

40
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:30.520
Spielberg's Ark and Raiders of the Lost Ark. That's true the lid with the

41
00:04:30.520 --> 00:04:36.680
chairman on top right. That said remember on the day of atonement blood was

42
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:42.080
sprinkled upon that and put upon that lid so that when the glory of God looked

43
00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:50.200
down he saw a watch. Please get this. Do you guys remember what's inside the the

44
00:04:50.200 --> 00:04:55.240
box? What's inside the Ark? The law. Thank you. Somebody simply went right to it.

45
00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:00.120
Aaron's rod that butted manna and the 10 Commandments but we're going

46
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:05.840
regarding the 10 Commandments right now. The law. The laws in the box and on top of

47
00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:12.640
the lid of gold, Acacia Wood, overlaid with gold are two cheruban bowing their

48
00:05:12.640 --> 00:05:16.120
face down toward the lid with their wings touching in the middle. I got to I

49
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.240
gotta tell you they'll do respect Stephen Spielberg's rendering of the Ark of

50
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:23.680
the Covenant is geniusly brilliant and extremely biblically accurate. Go

51
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.200
look at that picture. The angels are looking down and they would be looking at

52
00:05:28.200 --> 00:05:34.400
the blood and above that the glory of God would appear. The chicana glory of God

53
00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:40.000
would appear and he would cover the sins of the nation for the whole year.

54
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:46.040
Yom Kapoor. The day of atonement. Are you with me? Are you tracking? So watch

55
00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:51.920
this. The glory of God is here. The blood is here. Where's the law down here? This

56
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:59.960
is holy. I'm not. I need blood to shield me from the law. That blood that

57
00:05:59.960 --> 00:06:07.200
shields me from the law pleases God but only the blood of himself could please

58
00:06:07.200 --> 00:06:12.560
him because he only is holy, pure and righteous and just. Does that make sense? A

59
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:17.440
good man could not have died for us my friend. The best man in the world could

60
00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:22.160
never have died for us. God's problem was he had to come into the world and

61
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:29.080
become incarnate like you and I and live among us so that he would fulfill the

62
00:06:29.080 --> 00:06:35.240
law. Jesus lived a perfect life. He absolutely by merit fulfilled the demands

63
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:42.200
of the law and then he turned around and assumed our guilt and then his blood

64
00:06:42.200 --> 00:06:48.040
read the book of Hebrews carefully. The Bible tells us that he took his blood and

65
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:56.720
presented it upon the ark that is in heaven above of which Moses made a copy on

66
00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:06.160
earth. Are you hearing me? Are you excited? I hope you're excited. My goodness. I

67
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:11.280
need to calm down actually. I'm getting so I should pace myself. There's three more

68
00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:21.680
services. I have to just calm down. We learned in verse 24 that there's a

69
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:27.240
recreation from God and I did this deliberately. I could have I could have said with

70
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:33.520
a dash, R E dash creation, recreation. But recreation means recreation. Did you

71
00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:38.480
know that? When you go on vacation you're supposed to recreate. That means

72
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:47.560
recreate. Learn that there's a recreation from God, a rest. There's a rest to

73
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:56.720
the believer. See we're justified freely. Don't let the word free fool you. We are

74
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:05.200
dumb Southern Californians. If somebody comes along and says I can I can put

75
00:08:05.200 --> 00:08:12.600
shingles on your roof for 500 bucks and another guy comes along and says I can

76
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:18.360
put shingles on your roof for 500,000 bucks. We're tempted by that. What

77
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.720
decision am I going to make here on this? We think we think the more we pay the

78
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.520
better off it's going to be. That's not always true. By the way, contractors will

79
00:08:28.520 --> 00:08:31.160
tell you that depending upon the zip code they're going to go do that

80
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:38.000
estimation changes the price of the job. I had a contractor tell me that I

81
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:46.960
so much true. Just remember this now we get to that point where that that

82
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:57.760
which is free. It's free to us. Cost God everything. This is as maybe as far as

83
00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:03.520
we'll go here. I have to show you this regarding the fact that God recreates

84
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:10.520
gives us recreation being justified freely by his grace. How Lindsay said he invented

85
00:09:10.520 --> 00:09:18.720
the acronym of grace. God's riches at Christ expense. Grace means unmerited

86
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.640
favor in the Greek language. It means that God gives you something that you

87
00:09:22.640 --> 00:09:28.200
could never earn. You can't buy it. You can't be good enough. Just the word

88
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:35.280
carous alone indites every legalist on the planet. The word grace insults

89
00:09:35.280 --> 00:09:42.840
pride. The man the woman who says I've got my my life's put in order. I'm doing

90
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:55.760
pretty good. Then explain to me the grace of God. You see God paid to afford

91
00:09:55.760 --> 00:10:04.800
you and I grace at his own expense. I want to show you something which is so

92
00:10:04.800 --> 00:10:08.800
precious. It actually shocked me when I found this out. I actually found it out

93
00:10:08.800 --> 00:10:16.280
by accident. It's a long time ago June 11th 20 or 2000. I can't remember that

94
00:10:16.280 --> 00:10:23.240
for a back. Judge centels rent dispute with own money. Fairfax Virginia. Judge

95
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:31.160
Donald McDonnell. How do you say that's name? Donahoe. None of you know it

96
00:10:31.160 --> 00:10:39.800
either. So Judge Donald handles about 150 landlord tenet disputes a day. But

97
00:10:39.800 --> 00:10:45.480
the verdict he gave a death couple facing eviction was unique. The case

98
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:52.360
involved Deborah Morris and Lewis Swan who were taken to court by their landlord

99
00:10:52.360 --> 00:11:00.200
because they were $250 short on their rent. After hearing arguments the judge abruptly

100
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:09.360
left the courtroom then returned a minute later holding to $100 bills and $150 bill and

101
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:16.960
said consider it paid. He said leaning over the bench and handing in his own money to

102
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:24.240
the landlord's stunned attorney on Friday. As a sign language interpreter translated

103
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:31.360
Morris pressed her hands to her chest. I couldn't say a word. It said Morris 48. It just

104
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:44.400
blew me away. As a sign language interpreter. The couple married in October learned only

105
00:11:44.400 --> 00:11:50.800
recently that their married status meant a drop in Morris's disability benefits. What

106
00:11:50.800 --> 00:12:01.920
a rip off Virginia is was without the aid they couldn't pay their $630 a month rent.

107
00:12:01.920 --> 00:12:08.360
Morris said Judge Donald what's his name? 55 years of age declined to be interviewed only

108
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:16.760
in America said prosecutor Robert Herron. Herron. Huh whatever his name is. I've heard

109
00:12:16.760 --> 00:12:23.440
of judges suspending judgments. I've never heard of a judge chipping in. And that's pretty

110
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:29.720
cool because listen if an earthly judge can chip in the holy heavenly judge he does more

111
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:35.320
than chip in. Okay you can't pay your debt back to God. You can't pay your bill back

112
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:47.920
to God. God is the one who says I'll pay for it. I'll pay for it and he does that. We're

113
00:12:47.920 --> 00:12:54.320
going to end right here. I'm going to ask you right now today where are you with Jesus

114
00:12:54.320 --> 00:13:02.840
Christ on these matters? Where is your heart on these matters? Today's your day if you

115
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:07.700
think about it. Listen this is what you've heard. That by the works of the law no flesh

116
00:13:07.700 --> 00:13:15.920
can be justified in the sight of God. That by the keeping of the law you wind up finding

117
00:13:15.920 --> 00:13:24.240
out that it cannot be kept. In other words you break it before you even get started because

118
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:30.720
God gave the law to not make us better but to show us how bad we are. Is God's law pure

119
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:39.440
and awesome and holy? Absolutely. Should we not seek to perform it and do it? Yes but

120
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:44.080
not to think it's going to give you salvation. I said it last week I got in trouble for

121
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:55.040
it's I'll say it again. Nowhere in the Old Testament is salvation promised to anyone. It's

122
00:13:55.040 --> 00:14:05.120
only prophesied to come through the prophets. Moses himself said you're not listening to me

123
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:12.240
Israel. You're not listening to me but I tell you what? God will raise up a prophet like unto

124
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:23.280
me. Him you shall listen to. Moses said that prophesying about faith and God's atoning work

125
00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:34.000
everything that we've seen in life in God's word was pointing to Jesus. Psalm 40 says

126
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:40.160
behold in the volume of the book it is written of me and if you study Psalm 40 it's speaking about

127
00:14:40.160 --> 00:14:49.120
the Messiah. Micah chapter 5 verse 2 said the Messiah will be born in Bethlehem. Dear friends

128
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:56.000
listen there's no prophecies of Joseph Smith. My Mormon friends listen there's no prophecies of

129
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:04.400
Joseph Smith. Listen my Catholic friends there's no there's no popory. That's a real word what do

130
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:16.880
you're thinking of the other thing popory it's the papacy is also referred to anyway. The Old

131
00:15:16.880 --> 00:15:26.880
Testament doesn't promise an earthly priest coming to be able to set you free. Think of it. So what

132
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:40.720
will you do? God's word says that if you believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again

133
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:51.280
and if you confess that with your mouth you shall be saved. So that's too easy.

134
00:15:51.760 --> 00:16:02.480
It's too easy to the person who's not getting it. The person who's getting it says oh my gosh thank

135
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:09.280
you for throwing me a lifeline. The person who says that's all you go to do say that and keep

136
00:16:09.280 --> 00:16:14.640
I can I can say that and then go do it everyone come back next Sunday and say it again what a deal

137
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:23.120
no you didn't get it no now I'm talking about me in a believer for realsies where God moves into your

138
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:29.920
life God moves in personally because I don't have the time to tell you how the Bible says

139
00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:35.200
there would be a day when the temple would have to be destroyed there's no temple in Jerusalem

140
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:41.600
and God says in his word I will no longer dwell in the temple made with stone I will dwell in your

141
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:47.520
hearts by the way he said that first of Jeremiah then he said it again in Ezekiel

142
00:16:49.520 --> 00:16:54.080
and it's spoken again in Romans and in first great things. God must have lived inside of you.

143
00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:00.800
He says the body I've given you the body I've made you I want that body of yours to be my temple

144
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:06.320
doesn't that make sense I'm gonna honestly come on it makes perfect sense it really does

145
00:17:07.120 --> 00:17:12.960
don't pass up this opportunity to know the God that if Abraham were standing here today he'd say

146
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:24.320
he'd say what's wrong with all you people believe believe like me Abraham would say
