05 27 2024 The Immutability of God’s Law · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much, because yesterday's
• 0:05
  food is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do
• 0:10
  some of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change
• 0:19
  all of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need
• 0:25
  to live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  author speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, good morning, good
• 0:34
  morning, good morning. It is Monday, May twenty seven, twenty twenty
• 0:38
  four. Hello, my name is El David Harris. I am your host,
• 0:41
  and this is your Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single
• 0:45
  day, and today is no exception. We are continuing in God's word.
• 0:50
  In our lesson study. The theme excuse me is the great controversy, and
• 0:57
  our caption for today is the immutability of God's law that means it cannot be
• 1:03
  changed. The immutability of God's law that means it cannot be silenced. But
• 1:07
  before I get too far into this, I'd like to just say welcome to
• 1:11
  everyone joining us, especially those joining us for the very first time, I
• 1:15
  would like to welcome you to your Daily Portion dot com. Please pick up
• 1:19
  the Your Daily Portion book. Also let us know where you are in the
• 1:22
  world. Also, please join our online community and the coaching program at your
• 1:29
  Daily Portion dot com. This is a way that we continue to build faith
• 1:33
  and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and then we will get underway.
• 1:38
  Father in Heaven, thank you for giving us this new morning and for the
• 1:41
  work week that we are already into. Father, thank you for giving us
• 1:46
  the opportunity to pray and to open up your word. And Father, I
• 1:49
  do thank you for those who in the United States of America. I have
• 1:53
  not forgotten who gave their lives. They gave the ultimate gift as they were
• 2:00
  serving in the armed forces. Father, please help us not to just make
• 2:04
  it a day, or those who are living in America, not to just
• 2:07
  make it a day where you just have fun and picnics and so forth,
• 2:09
  without remembering those who gave the ultimate price. In Jesus' name, I pray
• 2:15
  a men and a man again the immutability of God's law, and so my
• 2:23
  key for today is that if God's law could be changed, maybe I'll say
• 2:30
  it another way. If God's law could have been changed, then we wouldn't
• 2:34
  need Jesus. You're like, hold on now, Dave, you are bordering
• 2:38
  on sacrilege. No, No, those who think that you can change the
• 2:43
  law of God, you're sacrilege like You're not bordering on sacrilege? Like that
• 2:49
  is an unmentionable thought. If God's law could be changed or quote done away
• 2:53
  with or edited somehow, or muted or abrogated somehow edited, ah, if
• 3:00
  something could be added or taken away from God's law, then we would have
• 3:04
  no need for Jesus as our savior. What you know that Jesus came to
• 3:09
  save us from our sins? Right? Can I say that again? Jesus
• 3:14
  came to save us from our sins. And this means that the only way
• 3:21
  that we could be seen as a sinner is if we broke the law,
• 3:28
  which law the law of God. The only way that we could be called
• 3:31
  a sinner because the Bible says that all unrighteousness is sin. The Bible says
• 3:38
  that sin is the transgression of God's law. The only way that we could
• 3:46
  be considered a sinner is if we break a faith relationship and break His law.
• 3:53
  God's law, the foundation of his government, the law of love.
• 3:57
  Remember that one. Yeah, And so if nobody can break the law,
• 4:02
  because the law can just be changed, then that means that we don't need
• 4:05
  Jesus as our savior. I hope you just got that. The only reason
• 4:11
  Jesus needed to die is because we broke the law of God. And the
• 4:16
  way to bridge the divide as if the perfect son of God, one who
• 4:20
  was equal to our God, our Father, who was equal to or greater
• 4:26
  than the law that was broken, and also took on human form. The
• 4:30
  only way that we can be delivered is if all of that that I just
• 4:34
  described gets on the cross and takes your place, brothers and sisters, and
• 4:42
  dies for you. And because Jesus was holy all the time, because Jesus
• 4:47
  never broke the law, not even in the least particular, because he was
• 4:51
  fully innocent and fully holy, and in his humanity, he did die.
• 4:57
  And then he rolls that Sunday morning with all of power in his hands,
• 5:01
  with the keys of hell, the grave and death in his hands. Because
• 5:05
  of this, now there is no not, now, no condemnation for those
• 5:09
  who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according
• 5:13
  to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life, which is
• 5:15
  in Christ. Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
• 5:19
  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak in
• 5:23
  the flesh, God did by sending his own son in the likeness of sinful
• 5:28
  flesh. And he fulfilled the righteous requirements of the law in us who walk
• 5:33
  not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Aren't you glad
• 5:39
  that Jesus Christ died for you and he didn't stay dead. Jesus rose on
• 5:45
  that Sunday morning, and he went to heaven ultimately and began to minister on
• 5:50
  your behalf so you could be forgiven. But he did not stop there,
• 5:54
  brothers and sisters. He also moved into the most holy placed ministry, where
• 6:00
  he could expunge your sin record and mine. And then when the devil,
• 6:03
  now the accuser of the brethren, who the Bible says is cast down,
• 6:08
  who does accuse you both day and night all the time, that's all he
• 6:13
  wants to do. He wants to seek to kill and steal and to destroy.
• 6:17
  But when he accuses you, if you are yielded to God's will,
• 6:21
  huh. If you have the love of God written in your heart and on
• 6:26
  your mind, and that means you're in relationship with God. Then there is
• 6:29
  no evidence. That's why I said, according to Romans chapter eight, I
• 6:32
  just didn't tell you where it was, beginning at verse one. There's no
• 6:34
  condemnation for those who are in Christ. You see all that happens if we
• 6:41
  try to say and then believe the lies that we've been told. Unfortunately in
• 6:46
  church sometimes that the law of God was changed, was done away with.
• 6:49
  What No, the only law that was done away with was that law of
• 6:55
  sin and death, according to Romans chapter eight, the law of sin and
• 7:00
  death, and the law that is contained in ordinances and sacrifices and all of
• 7:04
  that, that Old Testament system of sacrifices. What's fulfilled in Christ that was
• 7:10
  done away with. But the Ten Commandments law. You can't get rid of
• 7:14
  the foundation of God's government, the transcript of God's character. That cannot happen,
• 7:17
  brothers and sisters. And therefore we read now. We read now from
• 7:23
  the Book of Matthew. The Book of Matthew, chapter five, Verses seventeen
• 7:29
  and eighteen. The Bible reads, think not that I am come to destroy
• 7:31
  the law or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to
• 7:36
  fulfill. For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass,
• 7:42
  not one jot or tittle shall in anywise pass from the law till all be
• 7:48
  fulfilled. And then the Bible reads in Psalm chapter one hundred eleven, verses
• 7:54
  seven and eight, the works of his hands are verity and judgment. All
• 7:59
  his commandments are sure, they stand fast forever, how long, forever and
• 8:05
  ever in case you didn't get it the first time, and are done in
• 8:09
  truth and uprightness. Ah. The reliability and the eternal stability of God's law
• 8:18
  is evident in the fact that Jesus Christ gave us his life so he could
• 8:22
  save us from our sins, which are the which is the transgression of God's
• 8:26
  law. The stability of God's government is predicated upon the immutability of his law.
• 8:33
  That I used too many big words. The law of God has to
• 8:35
  stand, or else there's no government of God. There is no sacrifice of
• 8:41
  Jesus Christ if the law of God can be tampered with. And then the
• 8:45
  Bible says here in the Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter twelve, verses thirteen,
• 8:48
  and fourteen. Let us hear the conclusion of the entire matter. Fear God.
• 8:54
  That means to respect him, keep his commandments, for this is the
• 8:58
  whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment and every
• 9:03
  secret thing, whether it be good or it be evil. And you're like,
• 9:07
  day, that sounded really cool. You're shouting in the microphone, you're
• 9:11
  getting excited. But what does that have to do with me. Let me
• 9:15
  just share a little bit with you as we get come to a swift clothes.
• 9:18
  What that has to do with you is that since the law of God
• 9:20
  can't be changed, and we're all guilty of breaking the love of God,
• 9:24
  we don't have to fear now. Why not because if we surrender our will
• 9:30
  to God in Jesus Christ, we are seen as perfect law keepers one hundred
• 9:35
  percent of the time if we yield our will to Him, and that means
• 9:39
  we can live etermintively with God. Make it a great day, peace.
• 9:45
  Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot live by bread
• 9:48
  alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
• 9:52
  has been your daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
