  Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
• 0:02
  Huddle for May 20, 2025, your two-minute
• 0:04
  play of the day for applying God's word
• 0:07
  in your life. So, let's huddle up and
• 0:08
  hear today's play from Acts 21, which
• 0:11
  says, "The next day, Paul and the rest
• 0:14
  of us went to see James and all the
• 0:16
  elders who were present. Paul greeted
• 0:18
  them and reported in detail what God had
• 0:20
  done among the Gentiles through his
• 0:23
  ministry. When they heard this, they
• 0:25
  praised God. And they said to Paul, "You
• 0:28
  see, brother, how many thousands of Jews
• 0:30
  have believed, and all of them are
• 0:33
  zealous for the law. They've been
• 0:35
  informed that you teach all the Jews who
• 0:37
  live among the Gentiles to turn away
• 0:39
  from Moses, telling them not to
• 0:42
  circumcise their children or live
• 0:44
  according to our
• 0:46
  customs." That was probably true.
• 0:49
  Perhaps the reason the apostles didn't
• 0:51
  originally obey the great commission to
• 0:53
  go and make disciples is because they
• 0:56
  interpreted Jesus's work as the
• 0:58
  fulfillment of the religion rather than
• 1:00
  the replacement of that religion. The
• 1:03
  apostles allowed the gospel to make the
• 1:05
  people more zealous for obedience to the
• 1:09
  law. They became more focused on their
• 1:11
  personal righteousness rather than on
• 1:14
  disciplehip by following Jesus to seek
• 1:17
  and save the lost. The gospel should not
• 1:20
  cause us to become more self-conscious
• 1:23
  of our own righteousness or lack
• 1:25
  thereof, but on God's glory on earth
• 1:28
  proclaimed through the gospel and
• 1:29
  obedience to the great commission as
• 1:32
  modeled by the Apostle Paul, a Hebrew of
• 1:35
  Hebrews and among the Jews faultless.
• 1:38
  This is true because the gospel message
• 1:40
  is righteousness is appropriated to
• 1:43
  God's redeemed redeemed children by
• 1:46
  faith and not by works. We cannot add to
• 1:49
  the work of Jesus. We can only live in
• 1:52
  adherence to the work appropriated to
• 1:55
  us. We do this by living as Jesus lived.
• 1:58
  Jesus did not teach a righteousness of
• 2:01
  greater adherence to the law of Moses.
• 2:04
  God in Jesus taught us that
• 2:06
  righteousness comes by faith in him
• 2:08
  alone, appropriated to us through the
• 2:10
  cross, where he paid the debt of sin. We
• 2:13
  could in no way overcome through our own
• 2:16
  acts of righteousness. The correct
• 2:18
  response to the gospel isn't to become
• 2:21
  more concerned about our
• 2:23
  perfection. We're declared that already
• 2:26
  in Christ. Our proper response is to
• 2:28
  live as Jesus did, taking up our cross,
• 2:31
  denying ourselves, and seeking and
• 2:34
  saving the lost until all peoples in all
• 2:37
  nations are obedient to the Lord Jesus's
• 2:40
  command to repent and believe in him.
• 2:43
  His righteousness gained by his perfect
• 2:46
  life is ours by faith. Now we live to
• 2:50
  please God, to glorify him in the world.
• 2:53
  This is most and best accomplished when
• 2:56
  every knee bows and every tongue
• 2:58
  confesses that Jesus is Lord to the
• 3:01
  glory of God the Father. Yeah.
