Yes gracious Heavenly Father, I pray Lord for this time that we're together in
Your Word. Help us to just push everything aside for the time being, just
to be with You and Your word and Your Holy Spirit who's the true teacher of
the word of God. I just pray in order to help me to get
out of your way and to teach the truth in Jesus' name. Amen.
I call this grace and truth most people don't think about it but grace is God's
policy and truth is His orientation to life and his word would be covering
2 Corinthians 5:10 through 6:2 - you know when you teach you always have to
be really careful and I think when you know putting Joe and and others taste
that our greatest desire is to get out of God's way you know it's not it's not
the it's not what you would think most people don't think that way but in
reality that the more I'm in God's Way that less I teach that truth and and
people who love the Lord never want to do that so we're gonna go over verse 10
Joe actually handled this last week is worth 11 but I wanted to touchbase
with it because there's a word in it that comes into my onto the other verses
that's that's a that's important it says for we must all appear before the
judgment seat of Christ for each of us which of us may receive what is due for
the things done well in the body whether good or bad
now the reason I'm looking for this the word appears is the is the first word
it's actually mentioned twice in the following sentence as following verse
verse 11 but it means to be manifest so it says appear here but that's what
we're talking about if I'm being manifest
it's about being perceptible it's about being obvious - to somebody but the the
the other word I look at here is that the word judgment seat of Christ here
many times you'll hear the expression maybe you heard it before it's called
the Bema seat BMA Bema seat it's a reference to the
judgement seat of Christ and this word here for judgment is the word Bheema you
know if the judgement seat of Christ is the Bema it's actual
the Greek word for it so it comes up here but I wouldn't mention one thing
about the this is whether it's good or bad and I just talked about this and our
constant revelation because the same thing came up this very verse is that it
isn't actually good and bad that's there it's actually good and worthless the
good is not human good but the word is Agathis it means good of intrinsic value
it's the good of God it's divine good that's done through us and the the word
the word for bad actually isn't like I said wasn't bad is the word fond loss
and it means refuge it means excrete meant for you guys know what that means
truth in Trivial so the reality is that Christians go to the judgment seat of
Christ with two things that they're going to be judged by discerned by
they're not to be judged like a condemnation they're gonna be discerned
by Christ Himself who has perfect vision and knows everything that we do and why
we do it clearly conspicuously in one hand that'll be the things that we've
done with the Holy Spirit in the direction of God's Word and the other
hand it'll be the things that we did that we thought were right and good now
what's important about that is that Christians need to know one from the
other because what's going to happen if you
remember the verse that Joe it read last week is that when you get to the
judgment seat of Christ the good things when they put when they got Christ puts
them under fire they will reveal that they are gold silver and precious stones
and the other stuff the stuff that we have done that we've done for Christ in
our own power that'll be like wood hay and stubble and when you put fire on it
it goes to smoke and dust okay so it means that whatever time that God has
given you to live you have wasted it and why have you wasted it because you are
ignorant of the Word of God and what he requires a deal
it's your choice God gives it to you but it is the desire of the Lord to know to
have you know that truth and that's what we're really talking about here is the
truth of God's Word when we must appear in the judgment seat of Christ so that
each of us may receive what is due to us like I said the judgment is not a
judgment of condemnation because we're familiar with where the verse it says
there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus so if you're
worried about sins or that you don't have to worry about the sins because
they were paid for cross never to come up again right I love that part far as
the East is from the West that's how far they were so when you confess a sin if
you bring that sin backup to God God God's gonna save you I don't know what
you're talking about okay and he knows all things so but we're gonna get a do
here and that do is going to be between doing the things that God has instructed
us clearly in his word and the things that we have been told by others are
godly but or not that we have thought was good but or not so if you want to
get to that my personal hope is that my golden silver will be nice and big and
the other stuff will be small okay but some people many people I would imagine
the maturity of Christians when they get to the judgement seat of Christ their
works will be set on fire and they will have nothing or very little because they
are ignorant of the Word of God the Ministry of reconciliation now when I
first started reading this thing I was kind of humored by it and I'll tell you
why because I am not an evangelist okay I don't have an evangelist bone in my
body but I do know the gospel and another doctor of the gospel and I
thought to myself Joe would have been great for this Charles would have been
great for this because they are both good evangelist but I did not get that
gift but good for me that this is talking about doctrine and I can handle
doctrine but I will be evangelizing you tonight since you're all saved anyway
right since then since then we know what it is
to fear the Lord we try to persuade others what we are is plain to God and I
hope it is also plain to your conscience not about you but that's kind of
confusing but the first thing that comes up here let me reread it in a way this
it's I think it's translated better it says since we know what it is that
causes fear of the Lord keep on persuading people but we are
made manifest to god I hope this is manifest to your conscience and what it
means is that the first question that comes out of here is that and I love
this part because the first thing I hae said okay so tell me what is the fear of
God that's not a real question I'm gonna answer before you don't worry okay don't
sweat not estimate heads what is the fear of God when when an unbeliever has
a fear of God what is that fear now one of the problems we have is we become
Christians God cleans up our life so good that we actually start to think
it's about us you know as I think that we're better people okay and we are
we're better because we're saved or better because hopefully we do what God
asked us to but in reality we're pretty much the same okay nothing what I'm
missing here was being this here is that why are people afraid of God because
they don't understand his grace they don't understand his grace now I don't
know about you my favorite part of God is his grace okay
God's not gonna hold me responsible for being stupid
he's not gonna hold me responsible for my sins okay I love that part about God
so what happens when people that come to God usually it is their fear of his
power and of his judgment which we were to before we were saved we had that same
fear the gospel is the teaching of grace in order to have somebody hear you
this sounds funny you don't want to scare the you-know-what out of them I
don't think I can say hell right I could say hell this is church yeah there's
hell you can scare the hell out of them and what I mean by that is that when you
tell somebody you know if you believe in God you're going to hell
that's a great message okay sure sounds like good news to me yeah and if you
know the reason I say that most of us know the word gospel means good news
it means the good news it means that it's good news so in order to approach
somebody who has fear God because people who do not know God
do not know how gracious he is you know if I'd have known how gracious God was I
believe I would come to him sooner but my idea of God was that he was mean you
know bad things happen you do what I tell you to or I'm gonna smoke you I'm
gonna put flames on you you know I thought but what I didn't know is that
God is the most gracious loving kind being in the universe in an infinite way
yes and I'll tell you right now if God could save everyone he would we know the
verse right the verse says it is God's desire that all men be saved but her all
men saved no is God lacking power conundrum huh
you don't you what's the answer to that it's confusing God does not violate
volition well this is the word for choice it means that God gave you a will
and you have to choose him you have to or you're not going to heaven and a
conversation there's no other way there's only one way okay the so it's
ignorance of grace and many times when believers are talking about the gospel
to somebody they forget the grace they forget the grace okay the word here in
persuade appear the word persuaded is two things it's a word that doesn't mean
persuade like the cell it sounds like to sell somebody something what the word
actually means to make something clear to present the evidence clearly the
evidence of Jesus Christ the evidence of the cross the evidence of the
resurrection okay it's also in which and I'm gonna talk about this a lot so it's
only one thing I'm teaching you in Greek grammar it's called the president acted
indicative okay the president acted indicative has it something that the
English language doesn't have it means to keep on doing some
okay so it says we try we try to keep on making the evidence of Christ's clear to
others that's what that says okay it says here that we are clearly seen by
God and he said what this means that you know because it's not he's making a
comparison here the word for it is to make something perfectly clear and known
and what it says here is that God knows us perfectly clear okay
I love that part because you know something you can't hide anything from
God your deepest darkest nastiest thoughts have always been known by God
forever that's good because then you can kind of give that up you know I think
that's cool but what is saying here is he's making a comparison Paul's making a
comparison by saying he says yes I mean God knows us perfectly and the the word
he says here he says and I hope it yeah what's the it see whenever you reading
word of God you always have to ask the question who's he talking about who's
talking about here who is this person he's talking to who does the who refer
to what does the it refer to okay in this in trite here is talking about
Bible doctrine it's talking about the gospel of Jesus Christ the doctrine of
Jesus Christ it's called soteriology it means you to
know how the Savior did it that's what it means okay so the it is the doctrine
of salvation and what he's saying he's saying and I hope it the gospel of God
of Jesus Christ the doctrine I hope it is and he uses the same word plain it
says here but it's not plain it's the same word he's talking about with God
he's saying to be perfectly perspicuous now that means a word that that's a word
it means perfectly crystal clear okay who says and is plain into your
conscience now conscience we don't know about conferences but conscience is what
it is it's it's the norms and standards of your of your mentality okay it's it's
your brain it's the way it works it's the things that you hold to be
absolutely unequivocally true okay so what this course is telling us it says
he's comparing guy says as God knows us perfectly clear I hope that you know the
gospel of Jesus Christ in that same clarity I hope you know it in your
mentality so you are not lost for words okay
so that you don't present the gospel
stupidly that's good words I love the words stupid I try to figure what to get
in there but so you don't so do you not ignorant okay I don't want to break it
to you if you don't know the gospel you don't know the basic elements of
Christianity and shame on you okay we'll get to it though it's actually pretty
simple it's really simple okay so verse 12 that's still up there yeah
good it says we are not trying to commend ourselves to you again but are
giving you an opportunity to take pride in us so that you can answer those who
take pride in what is seen rather than what is in the heart well you have to
sort through these things huh sometimes Lord makes you work it's a bitter one
peace with this we said we commend not ourselves but give you the Corinthians
an occasion to glory through us okay not not to us
but through us that you might have something in opposition to those who
boast about the outer parent appearances rather than the heart and what does
Jesus says he say he is saying that by teaching Bible doctrine to you
Corinthians we are giving you an opportunity to glorify God not us okay
and so he's pleased saying here say say you something right now you are these
people are telling you all these things that have to do with the world about how
great they are about how it is to be paid and how what does it do all these
for them but reality we teach you Bible doctrine so that you have the
opportunity to straighten these people out and have them see who God really is
okay who he truly is and this is saying in the heart so he's asking them he says
what you need to discern what the world wants for you that sounds good because
remember these people are Judaizers they're telling immorality they're
saying I want you to tell you how to be good this is how you do to be good okay
you believe in Christ and you you follow the Mosaic law those are mutually
exclusive by the way you cannot do both okay they are not the directions of
Christianity okay what he's saying there says I want you to be able to discern
which is which how much you understand the things that God's doctrine gives
which are perfect jewels perfect gold perfect silver and I want to be able to
be able to understand that so well so you can give that to them your
opposition these people who are telling you these things are not true so they
and you will glorify God okay it's an opportunity to counter pseudo love
pseudo love means that which is not true okay
worldly physical beautiful prosperous and our time we have throw something
very simple very similar we have people who teach the prosperity gospel okay
this is the stuff of the world you know if God wants you to give you money trust
me you'll have so much money you don't want to do with it but a lot of times
you can't give you money because you would destroy yourself with it so he
won't he loves you too much okay it is important it is important what God sees
in you not what other people seeing you that's his point okay you're accountable
to God measured by his truth which is the Word of God which is called Bible
doctrine Bible doctrine is the principles that we find in the Bible
they're not a cute story about Jonah and a whale that's not a whale okay it's the
truth Jonah you're an idiot you think you can
run away from God you're a moron you're gonna get spit up by some stupid fish
that's the lesson don't run from God it's a mistake he's powerful all knowing
the fish story does not kind of cool the orientation piece these these others
glorify in the outer appearance that's what he's talking about but not in the
heart the heart is not here so that woke you up huh me too
okay the heart's not here whenever it talks in the Bible about the heart it's
not talking about here it's talking about here it's talking about the
mentality of your soul the essence the point of what you are okay it's you it's
that piece of you the essence of you it's called the mentality of the soul
sometimes called the mind but the minds more pervasive the the the heart itself
when it says that your ear that he wants you to understand your heart he wants
you to understand it in the deepest part of who you are okay first John was the
only having a perf for the law was given through Moses and grace and truth came
through Jesus Christ the law was very exacting and what he's doing here is
John's making a comparison God gave us perfect truth and the Mosaic
law but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ grace has to come Grace is
the essence of who God is it is the way that God deals with us all the way all
the time and if you don't think that's true my suspicions are if God held you
responsible for your behavior there would be nobody here including me okay
from the perfect truth that's what it looks like so grace is the policy of God
it's the way he does things it's always his policy if you are complete moron and
you come to Jesus Christ he will save you okay if you're the poorest person
he'll save you if you're a bad person he'll save you if
you're the chief of sinners that's Paul's name he'll save you truth always
orient us that's what it does okay that's what is there yeah Jesus
Christ gave us the truth that was not given before okay it's called the
mystery doctrine I love this particular one here it says if we are out our
online as some say it is for God if we are in our right minds it is for you
what are you saying here though interesting the word if see if there's
two of them those are what they call in Greek a first-class condition
now there's four conditions on an if and if give me four different things it can
mean yes and it's true it means you wish it was true but it's not maybe it is
maybe it's not it's called a third-class condition and the fourth class condition
is one you wish it were true but it is not true okay so ii was actually if it's
not this is the first class condition so he's saying if we are out of our minds
and we are okay says some say it is forgot if and we are in our right minds
it is for you okay now the word here first of all the word
out of your mind is not out of your mind the word is a maximum it's a word for
maximum emotion okay but look who the maximum emotion is directed to God okay
people who know me know I'm not much under motion barely find them you know I
have to ask my wife what they are because she knows but this is nothing
what is this thing it says if we are if we have maximum emotion towards God
because we know him we love him we know how kind he is I know how stupid I can
be God hold that against me he protects me from myself he protects me in spite
ignorance and about you but that's the kind of I'll use a euphemism
the kind of guy I want on my team okay I love God
okay and what I say is that if what happens here is that the emotion is
actually what they call an appreciator of the soul okay
it's when your mind grasp something and your soul says I love that okay when we
hear the star-spangled banner we feel that way the United States
viewer a patriot of this country when you hear it you love the country and
maybe that makes you makes you well up okay and that's interesting because even
in spite of how stupid this country has been lately we still love it okay it's a
it's an emotion that we have because we know what it can be we know that it is a
beacon in a really black world okay we love this country
now take this what he's saying here he says but with God when I understand who
God is I have maximum emotion I'm not talking
about weeping I'm not talking about any of that stuff I'm talking about
appreciation the deepest appreciation that my soul has because I know God is
there the maximum and that's what he's talking about here when we have it if
you notice whenever you're talking if you love God I'll say if and you do okay
and you actually clearly understand who he is and the only way you can clearly
understand God is you have to know him otherwise what happens is you end up
with emotional you're gonna put all this weird emotional stuff and people act
weird but an example I'll use my wife I love my wife I know who my wife is
I know all of her faults and I'll oh I know her fears oh she's gonna watch this
later her stop there I know my wife i watch everything she does she's the most
beautiful woman in the world to me I know her I know her fears I know her
fault I love her faults I think they're cute
drives her crazy when I say that but it's true why why do I love her so it's
because I know her she is she's the kindest person that I know she's kind
see I'm not a kind person okay I'm not God had to teach me to be
kind so I work on it at all time my wife is like kind out-of-the-box
she just you have to do push her the other way okay me I'm already over there
I have to push myself this way but she's very kind and I love that part and she
she loves the Lord much more than she loves me that was the first thing that
trapped me she loves the Lord she wants to know who he is I was impressed when I
first met her I thought who are you I never see anybody like you before anyway
so it was the first thing I fell in love with her about and that was before I
really knew her so this is anything we've got you know how when you really
love God and you talk about him people who do not know go what do they think
you're out of your mind okay that's what that is okay because in
this respect if if human beings are the measure of us being out of our mind they
were happily crazy right we're happy to be out of our minds if this if this is
the truth and it is and we and we show that then I gladly accept that title if
that's a fool that's the fool I want to be okay no the the the love that you
have for God it's the first love remember the first level talked about in
Revelation that he'll they lost their first love
