  SPEAKER_00: Hello, and welcome to another episode of Grace Explained.
• 0:04
  SPEAKER_00: Today we're going to talk about dispensational Bible study and how dispensational Bible study can save us and what it saves us from.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: Dispensational Bible studies, understanding that God has given or dispensed out different things throughout the ages.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: The biggest ones to really discuss are he's dispensed to the nation of Israel the law.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: And everything that they had to do, they had to do according to the law that he had given them.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: Today, we read, especially in Paul's epistles, that the dispensation of grace is what God is dealing out.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: And it's not just to the nation of Israel, but it's to everybody.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: It's to the Jew and to the Gentile because there is no difference.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: So for that reason, he is now dispensing out grace.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: He's not dispensing out the law.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what, in a quick nutshell, that's what dispensational Bible study is about.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: And we'll we'll dive into that deeper as we get on into studies further on down the road.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: But today, if you will, look at 2 Timothy chapter 2 and verse 15.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: 2 Timothy 2, verse 15.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: This is a very key verse, and understand and not only studying the Bible, but understanding the Bible.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: He says, study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: So there's three things here.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: The first thing is that we study to show ourselves approved, not to man, but to God.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: So the first thing is the idea of studying the Bible, not just reading the Bible, but studying the Bible.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: The second is he says, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: When you're studying the Bible, you want to be able to study it in the correct way, and you don't want to be ashamed.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: Where would where would this shame be?
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it could be a couple different places.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: You could be talking to someone, they may give you a verse or something that you don't understand, and you kind of feel like you know, a little shame in that.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's happened to me before.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: And so that could be it.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: And the one of the things that helps, and and that not helping, you may not have all the answers, but you understand what's written for you, and then also what's written to you.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: Those are two different things.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: Something that's written for your learning and admonition in an example, and then other things that are actually written to you that you're to live, you're to live by.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: So the way that you can understand the scriptures is to rightly divide it.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: And again, we'll look at that that idea of rightly divide dividing the word of truth probably in the next few weeks.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: But I wanted to just go through three things.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: And the first thing here is that we're going to look at today is that dispensational Bible study can save you from hell.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: And if you look at Ephesians chapter 3, Ephesians chapter 3, you're going to see some things that that kind of help us to understand what God is doing.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: And remember, this whole study is called Grace Explained.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: So everything is based around God's grace, and how that we're not not only is God giving us grace, but we're we're living in His grace, and that we need to understand His grace.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: In Ephesians chapter 3 and verse 1, he says, For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, if ye heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you word.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: So this dispensation of the grace of God is given to the Apostle Paul.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: That's who he who God chose to give it to.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: And he says in verse 3, how that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery which I wrote afore in a few words, whereby when you read you may understand my knowledge and the mystery of Christ.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: So there's two very important things here.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: Verse 2, he talks about the dispensation of the grace of God.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: That's the dispensation that we're living in today.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: And then he talks about how that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: So for something to be to be a mystery, it had to be kept secret.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: It was something that cannot be made known.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: It was something that people did not know before.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: It was something that was not prophesied.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: So it's not, when when you look at this time period and this dispensation of grace, you'll never find it anywhere in the Old Testament.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: You're not going to find it anywhere in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: You're not going to find it really in the book of Acts.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: You'll see about the dispensation of grace of God, but you're not going to see much about the mystery.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: The mystery is something that is given to the Apostle Paul by the resurrected and by the glorified Lord Jesus Christ.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: And he says, when he talks about that he made known unto me the mystery, he goes, which I wrote afore in a few words.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: So he had already written to the to the saints at Ephesus about this, he says, which I wrote afore in a few words, whereby when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge and the mystery of Christ.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: And just to tell you what that mystery is, again, it's another Bible study, but I'll just tell you.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: That in the body of Christ, there's neither Jew nor Gentile, there's neither bond nor free, there's neither male nor female.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: The body of Christ is one body made up of all the members, all the people who have believed and trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ, all those people, God has gone ahead and he has given them a position in the body of Christ.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: The moment that you've put your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, you're you're you're baptized by one Spirit into one body.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: That means you are identified.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: We looked at this before, you're identified with Christ into the body of Christ.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: You're in the body of Christ.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: So when God sees you, he doesn't see you, he sees his son.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: And you're in there with all the other members who have who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: And so that's the mystery.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: The mystery in a nutshell is the body of Christ.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: So when I say dispensational Bible study can save you from hell, if you look at Romans chapter 2 and verse 16, Romans chapter 2 and verse 16, he says, in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: So when you see when God judges the people that are living today, they're going to be judged based upon Paul's gospel, based upon the gospel which he gave to the apostle Paul, which we'll see later on in the study.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: But based upon that gospel, that's what they're going to be judged by.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: And he says in 2 Corinthians 11, if you'll go turn out 2 Corinthians 11, there's there's something that people have got to understand.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: When you you could if I told you to go to 10 different churches, or if you don't want to go to a church, you can turn on the television or the radio and listen to 10 different teachers or preachers.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: The problem is a lot of times you're going to probably hear, I won't say you're going to hear 10 different gospels, but you're going to hear probably at least five or six different gospels, if not maybe eight.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: But you'll hear at least five or six different gospels.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: And when I say different, they may all say some of the same things, but they're all going to either add or take away something that the other one did.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: So which one's right and which one's wrong?
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: Um look at Second Corinthians chapter eleven and verse two.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: He says, For I am a jealous I am for I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: For I have espoused you to be to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through the subtlety, so your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: For if he had cometh, for for he that hath that cometh preacheth another gosp another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye have received another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might ye might well bear with him.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: So what Paul is telling the the saints at Corinth here, he says, I have a godly jealousy over you because I've given you the gospel, I've taught you the mystery, I've taught you the things about the dispensation of grace, and others are coming in and they're teaching you another Jesus.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: Well, what other D Jesus are they teaching you?
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: Well, if you think about it, we understand the scriptures and we understand who Jesus Christ is as Christ sitting on the right hand of God in his glorified state.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: He's he was he was he he was he died, he was buried, he rose again the third day, he ascended up to up to God, and that's where he's seated now.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_00: But there's others who teach Christ and they teach Jesus only way.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: And the only way they teach Jesus is in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: And if you read those words in red, if you have a red letter Bible, those words in red are more important because those are Jesus' words.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: Well, if the whole Bible is the word of God and Jesus is God, wouldn't the black words be his words also?
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: But see, people make a bigger deal about the Lord Jesus Christ's earthly ministry.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: We've seen verses Christ did not come for the Gentiles, Christ came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: So when you preach another Jesus, you're pre you're preaching Jesus based on his earthly ministry and not on not as who he is as the glorified, ascended Christ in heaven, the Son of God.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: Um He talks about as you receive another Spirit.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: People preaching another Spirit and teaching things about the Holy Spirit that the Holy Spirit is not doing today.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um and there's things that the Holy Spirit is doing today that people don't teach, but there's things that the Holy Spirit is not doing today that he did in times past, mainly in Acts chapter 2, he's not doing those things today.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um, or another gospel.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: Well, what's that mean?
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: That tells me something that there evidently is another gospel being preached.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_00: There's something being preached about the Lord Jesus Christ that is different than what Paul is preaching.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: So either Paul is wrong or Paul is right.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: And if Paul is right, then we need to listen to what he has to say and not listen to the other gospels being preached about the Lord Jesus Christ and who he is and what you need to do to have eternal life.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: If you follow what Jesus said in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, it's not the same gospel as what Paul is preaching.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: Look at Galatians chapter 1.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_00: Galatians chapter 1.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: Paul speaks here and he says, I marvel, he's talking to the saints at Galatia, he goes, I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: He goes, I was there, I preached unto you the grace of God, I preached unto you the grace of Christ, I preached unto you how that Christ died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again the third day, and that by simply putting your faith and trust in that alone, God will save you by his grace.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: And that you don't have to do the law, you don't have to keep the law, you don't have to do works, you don't have to pray a prayer, you don't have to say a thing, you don't have to do anything but believe.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: He says, I'm surprised, I marvel at this, I can't believe it, that so quickly after you believe the gospel that all of a sudden now you're starting to believe another gospel.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: And the other gospel that was being preached was the gospel that was being preached about the law.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_00: The gospel that was being preached, not about who, about who we should, about Christ and the body of Christ and the dispensation of grace, but hey, the law says to do this, the law says not to eat this, the law says to keep this, the law says you should do this.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_00: And people, and people were coming in and giving them another gospel.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: And he says in verse 7, he goes, which is not another.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_00: But there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: So what they'll do is they'll go, yeah, Christ came, he died on the cross, and and you need to believe that, and you need to do this.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_00: You see, we're we believe, we believe the gospel of Christ.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: Folks, I have I have talked to people at my front door before about this, and they and the things that they say and the way that they say it would make you believe that they believe and understand the exact same thing as you, and they don't.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: And the reason they're doing that is because they're deceiving.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: And he says, there's people that will come and pervert the gospel, and what they'll do, because the gospel is the gospel of grace, and what they'll do is they will go ahead and they will say, Yes, Christ is the Son of God.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: And yes, and they won't say he's God, they'll just say he's the Son of God, and yes, he did die, and yes, it was your sins, and yes, you need to do that, and yes, and for you to be saved, you need to believe in Jesus and that he died on the cross, and you must be water baptized, or you must do this, or you must keep this commandment, or you must do this thing.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever it may be, they add something to it that you need to do, and they pervert the gospel of Christ.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: He says in verse 8, but though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_00: As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_00: There's one gospel today.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_00: One gospel, and it's the gospel of the grace of God that was given by Jesus Christ to the apostle Paul.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: And if you preach anything outside of what Paul preached and what Paul says you need to do to be saved, then you're preaching another gospel.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_00: And Paul says, this is the Holy Scriptures, this is the Word of God, he says, Let him be accursed.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_00: If you compare that, look at look at um Acts chapter 2.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: Acts chapter 2 and verse, Acts 2 and verse 37, he says, Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_00: Can I tell you when Peter preached that, he was preaching the truth.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_00: When Peter preached that that you need to repent and you need to be baptized, you need to repent of and change your mind, of of your understanding of who you are, that you're a sinner, that you need a savior, that Jesus was the Christ, that he actually was the Son of God, that he actually was God the Son.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_00: He actually said who he was, and you believe that, and and you get baptized, every one of you, in the name, and they did water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: It wasn't the water baptism that remitted their sins, it was them repenting and and and believing that Jesus was the Christ.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_00: They would have remission of sins and they were going to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_00: That's what Peter preached, and that was true, and that was the truth, and that was the gospel on the day of Pentecost.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_00: But if you go further in that book, in the book of Acts and verse in chapter 16, the book of Acts and chapter 16, he says, um, this is when we've talked about this before.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_00: Saul is in Paul is in prison, and when he's in prison, he's singing all the songs and he's praising the Lord, and the earthquake happens and the doors go open, and the Philippian jailer comes running in and he's expecting everybody who to have left and he's getting ready to kill himself.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_00: And uh Paul says, Hold on, wait, don't kill yourself.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: We're all here.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_00: Don't don't hurt yourself.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: We're here.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: None of us left.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: And that was that would, first of all, I think to the Philippian jailer, that was a miracle in itself that no one had left.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_00: And he knew something was different about Paul.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: And he went in and he said, and he brought them out, he brings out Paul and Silas, and he says, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: And in verse 31, it does not say, Repent and be baptized, every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't say that.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_00: You know what it says?
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_00: And Paul said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved in thy house.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: So what's the difference?
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: One was they were to repent, they were to believe something, they were to do an act, they were to be baptized, and then they were gonna receive remission of sin.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_00: In the second one, he said, What do I need to do to be saved?
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_00: And he says, You need to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_00: Didn't tell him to do anything else.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: There was not one other work involved in that.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_00: Simply believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_00: And thy house.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_00: If you will look at 1 Corinthians 15 and verse 1.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_00: 1 Corinthians 15 and verse 1.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_00: There was a time period where I struggled with whether I had eternal life or not.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: I struggled on whether I was saved or not.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: Um I had I had a lot of doubt.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't know did I get saved when I was in middle school, and I heard my brother preaching in like a junior church thing, and I and I prayed a prayer, and I said, Oh, I I believe that.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: I struggled then.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_00: I struggled all through high school.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: Um I went to church every Sunday, went to a Baptist church, um, and I struggled.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_00: Am I saved?
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_00: Am I not saved?
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_00: People are saying you need to know the date and time, and I was like, I don't know the date and time.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, let me I belie I believe I believe Jesus now, and then you know, and I would do a prayer, and and okay, it's January 1st on this date, and so I can always remember that.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: And and there was but I always had doubts, literally always had doubts.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_00: And then I went to um I went to Bible college, went to Baptist University, and I went to Bible college, and I was listening to tapes by a dear friend of mine and a preacher by the name of Richard Jordan.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_00: And Pastor Jordan um had some tapes on rightly dividing the word of truth, and I was listening, there were cassette tapes, so this shows you how old how old this was.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_00: And so I'm going to Baptist University and I'm home and I'm in my apartment and I'm listening to these tapes, and I'm studying, and I'm trying to figure out what this is about rightly dividing the word and dispensationalism.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: And he read this passage of scripture.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_00: He said, Turn to 1 Corinthians 15 and verse 1.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_00: He goes, You want to know what this what the what the gospel of the grace of God is?
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: You want to know what the gospel is in a nutshell?
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_00: You simply want to know what it is.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_00: He goes, This is it in a nutshell.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_00: And 1 Corinthians 15 and verse 1, he says, Moreover, brethren.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand, by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_00: For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died on the cross for our sins, according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_00: And I remember looking at that verse, and I said, I believe that.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_00: Now something happened at that moment.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_00: Either that was the moment I was saved, because I said, I believe that.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't just believe it in my head, I believe it in my heart.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_00: I believe that Christ dying on the cross for my sins, him being buried and rose again, I know that's the only way I can have eternal life is through that.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_00: And one of two things happened.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: Either that was the moment that I was saved, or that was the moment I understood my salvation.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_00: But I can tell you this, and I know it was in the fall.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_00: That's all I can tell you.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_00: I can't give you the date.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_00: I know what the year was, because I know when I was at Baptist University, it was 1984.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_00: But it hadn't has nothing to do with I know the date until I just know listening to that tape, hearing that passage of scripture, and saying, I believe that.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_00: Again, whether that confirmed what I had already believed, or whether that was when I truly believed it, I've never doubted my salvation again.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_00: And I've not lived the perfect life, but I've never, ever, ever doubted my salvation again.
• 23:55
