The Issues about Women's Liberty pt 21: The Giving of the Law

Welcome to NECF sermons. Each message here is

designed to uplift and strengthen you in your

walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until

the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive

right in. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. So we will

be looking at today the giving of the law. The

giving of the law. I believe that we have listened

to the last teaching, part 20. I don't know whether

this one should go outside the teaching. However,

we'll just continue like that. Amen. So, the

giving of the law. Now, don't forget that, as

we have noted, why we are going this far is to

come to an understanding regarding women's dressing.

although it affects men as well but because of

the series we are on we are focusing on women's

dressing and this part is an inclusion in the

entire series we've been doing the issues about

women liberty and as we said The first scripture

that many people run to each time they discuss

dressing is Deuteronomy 22, 5. The woman shall

not wear that which pertains to a man. That's

if you're using King James. Neither shall a man

put on woman's garment. For all that do so are

abomination unto the Lord. Now, and we answered

already two questions. That is, who wrote that?

We say Moses. And to who was he addressing that

text? And we said the Deuteronomy generation.

Because the Exodus generation had perished, and

this is they are about to enter the promised

land. And Moses wrote this to them. Amen. And

we noted carefully, which is very important and

is going to help us later on, that this generation

as well are unbelievers. Is that okay? Is that

what we said? Yes, they are rebellious generation.

Now, and last thing we did was to look at the

explanation of Jesus and Apostle Paul. And we

saw something very unique. They never called

the Ten Commandments the Ten Commandments. Is

that correct? Yes. So what they explain as what

we call the Ten Commandments is the love of God.

That is love of God. Amen? What you will do in

us and through us. Are we together? Amen. Yes.

So, and... We saw that the Ten Commandments,

they are a revelation of what God would do in

man and through man, in Christ. So in other words,

the Ten Commandments is the gospel. The Ten Commandments

is the gospel. Now, there are questions that

I want to begin to address in this teaching.

In trying to answer the thought questions, why

did Moses write that instruction in Deuteronomy

22 .5? Now, in trying to answer that that's why

we're going this far, why did he have, since

Jesus and the apostles explained it to us now,

and we now understand that, ah, It's not supposed

to be in that 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, what we call

the 10 today. No. Why then were the gospel, now,

why were the gospel written in that form, in

the form of regulations and rules? Why? Why?

Note, last time we also discussed and we noted

that God's plan is not to write his law on the

tablets of stones. That God's intention was to

write it in our heart. Is that correct? Yes.

So, since the 10th commandment is the gospel,

And we said that Moses' teaching material was

from what he was passed. How then did we have

courses in the law of Moses? Where did they come

from? Because we understood that it was from

what he was given that he started to use to teach

the people. Why did we have courses, sicknesses?

Remember, because we know that as Jesus and Paul

explain it, that the Ten Commandments is a gospel.

And of course, even though they were written

that way, at least we know that there is no curse,

there is no sicknesses, there is no diseases,

there is no disease. Where then did they smuggle

the issue of diseases, sicknesses, death, affliction?

You understand? In the law of Moses, where none

existed in the Ten Commandments. Now, answering

these questions, we will have to understand how

was the law given. That's why we are considering

this the giving of the law. Are we together?

There are certain details that I want us to note

carefully as we continue. And why are we careful?

It's because these details are not just captured,

especially in the Old Testament. The portion

of the Bible we call the Old Testament. And that's

why our sister helped us to read. Acts chapter

Acts 7 · chapter mention

7. Let's start from there. Are we together? Acts

Acts 7 · chapter mention

chapter 7. And I want to just leave out what

she read from the earlier verses. I'll just move

to verse 37. So come with me to verse 37. This

is that Moses who said to the children of Israel.

The Lord your God would raise up for you a prophet

like me. From your brethren, him you shall hear.

I remember we treated this. This is the gospel.

And when you read, Apostle Peter explained this

text in Acts chapter 3. And he told us that.

Acts 3 · chapter mention

This raising is not like raising a child. It's

resurrection. Are we together? Yes. Are we together?

Amen. And the essence is that he will bring,

he will bless his people by returning them away

from their sins. Why is he called a prophet like

unto me? Moses led the children of Israel from

Capa. into freedom. That is a foreshadow of what

the Christ was to do. That is to take his people

from bondage into captivity. That was why Moses

coded it and said a prophet like what? Unto me.

And that's why he said hear him. Him shall you

hear. And verse 38. He said, this is he who was

in the congregation in the wilderness with the

angel who spoke to him on where? Where? Mount

Sinai. And with our fathers. The one who received

the living oracles to give to us. Whom our fathers

will not do what? Will not obey. Remember? Moses

told them, him shall you hear. But they refused

to what? They refused to hear. Look at it. What

did he say? He said, one of who received the

living oracles. The living oracles. I want you

to look at that word. The living oracles. It's

supposed to be lively oracles, actually. Living.

Not really. Because that word is zao. Are we

together? Zao, the Greek word. And we noted last

time that word living. Lively. Supposed to be

lively oracles. It's from the word we obtain

zoe. Right? Yes. So, zao. Z -A -O in Greek. It

means the life -giving words. It means the life.

Do what? Life -giving word. That's why they are

called the... The lively oracles. And they mean

the revelation or the message delivered by God

to Moses. Now, I want you to note, what did God

deliver to Moses? The lively oracles. That is

the life -giving word. Please note that one.

Very important. That was what God gave to Moses.

But how come? Come to me. Just fold your hands

in acts and come with me. I'm trying not to rush

because I'm praying God will help me. Romans

Romans 7 · chapter mention

chapter 7. We read that text before. I want you

to see something here. Don't forget. What did

God pass to Moses? Lively oracles. Look at verse

7. Romans 7 verse 7. He said, what shall we say

Romans 7:7

then? Is the law sin? Certainly not. On the contrary,

I will not have known sin except through the

law. Did you see the problem before we even continue?

He already said, is the law sin? He said, certainly

not. But the same that is not sin, he said, I

would not have known sin except through the law.

He said, for would not have known covetousness

unless the law had said, you shall not covet.

But sin, taking advantage or taking opportunity

by the commandment, produced in me all manner

of evil desires. For apart from the law, sin

was dead. I was alive. Apart from the law, sin

was dead. I was alive once without the law. But

when the commandment came, sin revived and I

died. Remember we... we explain that text. And

we say what the explanation is that Paul is saying,

when I was living without the law, you understand?

I didn't know the consciousness of sin. But then

when the law came, it brought the consciousness

of sin at my state. Are we together? Yes. So,

verse 10. And the commandment which was to bring

life. Please, I want you to note verse 10 again.

The commandment doesn't look like what Stephen

told us. The lively oracles, right? So, the commandment.

Which was to bring life? Or which is life? Or

which life? Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yes. If you remove those things, the translators

added. He said, I found to bring death. Or I

found death. How could something that was given,

meant to give life? Produced it. Are we together?

The reason is because what was supposed to give

life was turned to legalism. Are you here with

me? So, because it was spoken as the gospel.

But you are given to men that reject it. And

so they transform it into regulations. And so

what was supposed to be life now produced death.

It produced death. Come with me. That's the same

thing Paul also said. So it's not here that Paul

only said. You understand? Go to 2 Corinthians

2 Corinthians 3 · chapter mention

chapter 3. So Paul repeated this teaching, this

explanation. You understand what I'm saying?

He repeated this explanation in 2 Corinthians

3. Let me read from verse 4. And we have such

trust through Christ toward God. Not that we

are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything

as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency

is from God. Who made us sufficient as ministers

of the new covenant? Now look at it. What is

the new covenant? The new covenant is not of

letters. but of the Spirit, for they let us kill

it. But the Spirit gives life. But if the ministry

of the dead written and engraved on stones was

glorious so that the children of Israel could

not look steadily at the face of Moses because

of the glory of his countenance, which was...

which glory was passing away, how will the ministry

of the Spirit not be more glorious? For if the

ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry

of righteousness exceeds more of glory. For even

what was made glorious had no glory in this respect

because of the glory that excelled. For if what

is passing away was glorious, what remains is

much more glorious. Because there was a system

that came in between that is to change what was

to give light into letters. to transform what

was to give life into regulations and rules.

That's a hardened man. That's a hardened heart.

That refused, that rejected the word which was

to give life, but transformed them into rules

and regulations, into legalism. That was why

what was supposed to give life now produce what?

Produce death. So Jesus and the apostles, when

they had to explain what was transformed into

regulations, they now return it back from how

it was intended. Are we together? That the message

was that God will do it by himself. Did you hear

what I said? Jesus and the apostles. Now, take

what we call the Ten Commandments and then return

it to how it was originally intended. That's

the message. God is the one to do it all the

way. Are we together? Yes. All you need to do

is to receive. Now, not longer. One, two, three,

four, five. Don't do this, do that. Don't do

this, do that. Don't do this, do that. We're

going to read subsequently. You will see that

is how the law is when you read Colossians. Touch

not. Handle not. You understand? That is the

law. That's the way of the law. But the way of

righteousness, that's why he said the ministry

of righteousness. The way of righteousness is

you receiving God the doer. You understand? And

that's why we saw love. Love the Lord. You just

believe. He comes into you and he produces his

work through you. And that's why we call the

love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus said, the

second is as the first. Because all is by the

Spirit. Say, all is by the Spirit. Hallelujah.

Now, but we need to answer a question. How did

we have it transform into legalism? You know,

that's where we are going. Yes. How did we, how

did we have, end up having it as legalism? Go

back to our scripture. Let's go back to our scripture

where we started. Acts chapter... Look at verse

51. You stiff necked and uncircumcised in the

heart and ears. You always resist the Holy Spirit

as your fathers did. So do you. Verse 52. Verse

53. Please look at this place. 53. Who have received

the law? How? By the direction of angels. And

have not kept it. Now I want you to note that

word. The direction of angels. That is. The law.

Was received. Was given. How? By the direction

of angels. This means. Angels were involved in

the giving of the law. Angels were involved in

the giving of the law. Look at verse 38. Go back

to verse 38. This is he who was in the congregation

in the wilderness. With who? Oh, talk to me now.

With who? Who do what? Spoke to him where? On

Mount Sinai. Now, we need to study Mount Sinai.

You know, last week, I deliberately used that.

You know, when we are... I mean, not last week.

Sorry. Not even the last... Earlier, when we

started in this direction, you know, I did a

comparison. It's deliberately a user. I said,

God was the one who gave the Ten Commandments

in the sun directly. And then Moses wrote the

book of the Lord, right? We did that comparison.

Are we together? Amen. But because I'm coming

to teach further, I didn't mention anything around

that. Now you know that God did not give the

Ten Commandments in the way we have it. Are we

together? Are we together? Because what he gave

to Moses was lively oracles. And we said, by

the explanation of Jesus, now again, Stephen

helping us, we now know that that was the gospel.

That the Ten Commandments is the gospel. So,

but we need to study Mount Sinai. That means,

what we normally see there, that we know I say,

and the Lord spoke to him, and the Lord spoke

to him. There is other beings there doing some

things that we need to keep, we need to study,

you understand? Because this is, you know, this

is one of the things that we just brush and leads

us to accord to God or to push the responsibility

of certain things, you understand, toward God.

while God knew nothing about it. Are we together?

So now we know that it was an angel who spoke

to Moses on Mount Sinai. And verse 53 tells us

that the law, the giving of the law, is by the

direction of angels. Now, let's look at that

word direction. Go to verse 53. Who have received

the law by the direction of angels. Now, what

is that word direction? Direction. It was translated

from the Greek word diatage. D -I -A T -A -G

-E D -I -A T -A -G -E The word is used incidentally

in only two places in the standard word direction.

Let's look at the other one. The first one is

at 53. Act 753. But the second one is in Romans

13. Romans 13. Verse 2. Romans 13. Verse 2. Therefore,

whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance

of God. That word ordinance. Ordinance. It means

the direction. It's a noun. The ordinance of

God. And those who resist will bring judgment

on themselves. To that word ordinance is the

word direction. So direction implies ordinance.

It implies disposition. It implies arrangement.

It implies arrangement. It also implies instrumentality.

That is, you can substitute it and say, through

the instrumentality of angels. Did you understand

what I'm trying to say? Yes. Through the instrumentality,

Or through the arrangements of angels. Through

the arrangement of angels. You see, I see some

of us are not writing. You can't learn like that.

You understand? You can't know God. The church

is a school. Understand that some of us, where

we are coming, It has been a challenge because

the church has not been ordered exactly the way

it's supposed to be. The church is a training

ground. So when you come, you come with seriousness.

We don't want that which was ordained to life

to produce death. Did you understand what I'm

trying to say? No, no, no, no. You know, there

are so many mistakes we are doing. It's because

we have not spent time to learn the Word. Our

attitude towards church needs to change if we

want to see a difference. Hallelujah. So we have

encouraged people to always come with a book.

Understand? With a Bible. Understand? That is

how... To learn. We are students of the word.

Amen. Now that word. Arrangement. Which was used

by Stephen. Was derived from another word. So

that means. That word was derived from another

word. That's to so. That's to so is a verb. In

a sense. D -I -A -T -O -S -S -O. D -I -A -T -O

-S -S -O. And this word, you know, sometimes

you can understand even more about the noun from

the verb. Do you understand what I'm trying to

say? Yes. So, if we go further to study this

arrangement, instrumentality, direction, you

understand? From the verb. And Paul used the

verb. Did you understand what I'm saying? Hallelujah.

Galatians chapter 3 verse 19. Let's go to how

Galatians 3:19

Paul used the word. You understand? Galatians

Galatians 3:19

3 verse 19. Now look at it. He said, what purpose

then does the law serve? He said, it was added.

It was added because of transgression. Till the

seed shall come to whom the promise was made.

And it was appointed. It was appointed through

the, through who? Angels by the what? Are we

together? That word appointed is a verb. That's

the soul, you understand, of what we saw Stephen

used. So, it is appointed. So that means this

death to sow implies to appoint. It implies to

command. It means to ordain. It means to give

order. It means to give responsibility to another.

So, The verb there, to sow, means to command,

to appoint, to ordain, to give order, or to give

responsibility to another. And there are a lot

of places where you can find that, particularly

the verb, it's not just only that. Let me call

those scriptures so that when you go back, you

just read them. You understand? Now, in Matthew

Matthew 11:1

11, verse 1, the same diastole was used, but

in that you will see it commanding. That's how

it was put, commanding. Matthew 11, verse 1.

Matthew 11:1

Luke 8. Luke 8. Verse 55. Luke 17. Now, this

one, from the next one, which is the Luke part,

you will see it as commanded. Commanded. Commanded.

So, this scripture is under commanded. This scripture

is used to show as commanded. Luke 8 .55. Luke

17 .9. And 10. Acts chapter 18 verse 2. Acts

Acts 18:2 Acts 23:31

chapter 23 verse 31. Acts 24 verse 23. 1 Corinthians

Acts 24:23 1 Corinthians 9:14

9 verse 14. And Titus 1 verse 5. Luke 8 verse

Titus 1:5 Luke 8:55

55. Luke 17, 9 and verse 10. Acts 18, 2. Acts

23, 31. Acts 24, 23. 1 Corinthians 9, 14. And

Titus 1, verse 5. As commanded. Now the next

Titus 1:5

one is as appointed. Luke 3, verse 13. Luke 3,

Luke 3:13 Luke 3:13

verse 13. And Acts 7 verse 44. Acts 7 verse 44.

Acts 7:44 Acts 7:44

And then it was also used to give orders. Like

give orders. Acts 20 verse 13. And 1 Corinthians

Acts 20:13 1 Corinthians 16:1

16 verse 1. Then it is also used as ordain. Ordain.

1 Corinthians 7 verse 17. 1 Corinthians 7 verse

1 Corinthians 7:17 1 Corinthians 7:17

17. And then it is also used as to set in order.

To set in order. 1 Corinthians 11 verse 34. Hallelujah.

1 Corinthians 11:34

Are we together? We are moving together. Good.

So Stephen now and Paul help us to understand

and they explain by the Spirit that the involvement

of angels on Mount Sinai was actually an order.

It was a sign. It was appointed by Moses. Are

we together? It was appointed by who? By Moses.

If we read that part 19, you understand. He said

that, and it was appointed through angels by

who? Oh, are we together? Are we together? He

said by the hand of who? By the hand of a mediator.

In the text of scripture, we only have two people.

One who was assigned by men and one who is the

plan of God. Christ the mediator and Moses the

man -made mediator. We're going to study that

to see how people appointed Moses the mediator.

So I want you to have it at the back of your

mind. When we are talking about that the law

was added, it's not just only the law that was

added, but mediation was also added. Because

that mediation of Moses was not the plan of God.

That Moses mediated between the people and God

was never the plan of God. It's a system of the

law. It was brought by unbelief and rejection

of the gospel. Are we together? So the word added

implies that it was not part of the promise.

So both the mediation of Moses as well as the

law were an addition. It was brought by Moses

through the instrumentality, through the disposition,

through angels. I know some people will say,

wait a minute. How did the angels get involved?

That's why we are taking time to study. And the

reason is that because there are some strange

things we have been seeing that we need to explain

where they are coming. You know there are some

people who have accorded all those things to

God. Are we together? Hallelujah. Amen. So there

would have been no need for the addition. Because

the promise was there. What did... Abraham and

the rest live without the law. Do you understand

what I'm saying? So, there came a generation

that are rebellious. You know, sir? And they

don't want to. They rejected what their fathers

have received. They are quick to say, Abraham

is our father. You know, sir? But they did not

follow the ways of Abraham. Are we together?

Hallelujah. Amen. You know, I challenged one

lady one day in the sand, the way she was dressed.

I said, where are you? She said, she's from Winner's

Chapel. I said, you are not from there. I said,

why? I said, because you are not following the

headman. Because I know momy faith in the son.

I don't see any attribute of her in you. So they

are like the Pharisee that will say, Abraham

is our father, but his ways they are not following.

Are we together? Amen. So they rejected it. So,

What do we do? Now, it is important that now

let's study something about this mediation. You

know, remember I said by the hand of a mediator.

Are we together? Let's go back to Exodus 20.

Exodus 20. Exodus. chapter 20. Look at verse

Exodus 20 · chapter mention

18. He said, now Mount Sinai was completely in

smoke. Please, just be observing the events that

are happening. We are going to go slowly. You

understand? Now Mount Sinai was completely in

smoke because the Lord descended upon it in fire.

Its smoke ascended like the smoke of the furnace

and the whole mountain quaked greatly. That's

how the Lord normally descends. Hallelujah. Verse

19. And when the blast of the trumpet sounded

long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke.

And God answered him by voice. He spoke and God

answered him how? By voice. Amen? Amen? Where

was I reading? 19, right? Oh, sorry. Did you?

Let's start from 19. I was just moving very fast.

Yes, chapter 19. Yes, chapter 19, please. Oh,

and you are looking at me. Yes, let's start from

there, chapter 19. Yes, I mentioned the scripture

ahead and then I started behind. Sorry for that.

Understand. Are we together? Now, did you see

those events? I want you to pay attention. We

are coming back to them. How they said the Lord

descended. Remember I said we're going to study

Mount Sinai. It's very important. Right? Now

move to verse 20 which I said earlier on. 20

verse what? 18. Now all the people witnessed

the thundering. Did you see again? Are we together?

Witnessed the what? The thundering. The lightning

flashes. The sound of the trumpet. And the mountain

smoking. When the people saw it, they did what?

They trembled and stood where? Afar. Then they

said to Moses, you speak with us and we will

hear. But let not God speak with us. Lest we

do what? Lest we do what? How can someone who

wants life for you and what you are perceiving

is that? So, you see, this is telling us, this

is where the beginning of they never wanted to

hear directly from God. Remember when Moses was

going, Moses also told a prophet like unto me,

he said, hear what? Hear him. They refused. Moses,

where Moses was going? He also told them, hear

him. They never wanted to hear from God. You

understand? I think we did that study in this

church. But the point is that they rejected God

and just wanted Moses. Go and hear and then tell

us. This is how they meet Moses the mediator.

So as we read, he said, appointed by angels by

the hand of a mediator. So Moses was a man -made

mediator through unbelief and rejection of the

gospel. Through unbelief and rejection of the

gospel. Come down to Hebrews chapter 8. Hebrews

Hebrews 8 · chapter mention Hebrews 8 · chapter mention

chapter 8. Hebrews chapter 8. Look at verse 7.

Hebrews 8 · chapter mention

Verse 7. For if that first covenant had been

faultless, then no place would have been sought

for a second. Now, most people when they read

this, they would think that God gave first, the

first one. You understand? Do you understand

what I'm saying? So they said, that's how they

look at it, that the first covenant God gave

it, so it fails. They say, okay, let me bring

the second one. No, there has no time. God has

given multiple covenants. It has always been

one, one, one, and one. And the covenant, please

hold your hand here. Come to that Galatians we

read. There's something I want to point out before

we jump in the sun. Because we are at the time

where we need to wrap up something for this session.

Galatians 3 verse what? Verse 19. He said, what

purpose then does the law serve? He said, it

was added because of transgression till the seed

should come to whom the promise was made. To

whom the promise was made in the Son. Now, you

have to understand that the covenant is not with

you. Are we together? God made the covenant with

himself. We are the beneficiaries. Let me repeat

again. We are the beneficiaries of God's covenant.

The covenant is not with you. Because, you know,

when you talk about covenant, It means you have

a part to play. You don't, sir. Sorry. You don't

have a part in it. Because he promised it by

himself, to himself, to keep it by himself. We

are beneficiaries. We received it. What he has

promised. Hallelujah. Now go back to where I

was trying to read. He now said, verse 7, right?

For if that first covenant had been faultless,

then no place would have been sought for a second.

Because finding fault with them, he says, behold,

the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will

make a new covenant. With the house of Israel.

And the house of Jacob. Now look at that word

in verse 8. He said finding fault with them.

The question is. Who or what finds fault with

them? Are we together? Did you hear my question?

Who or what finds fault with them? Remember in

verse 7 he said. For if. The first covenant had

been faultless. That means the first covenant

has a fault. There will not have been need for

the second because the second is faultless. So

what this verse is saying is that the faulted

or fault covenant was the one that find fault.

You understand? That's why I say because finding

fault. Who finds fault? The covenant that has

fault was the one that had fault in them. Because

God does not find fault. The covenant of righteousness

does not find fault in men. Did you understand

what I'm trying to say? No fault. And there are

scriptures that tell us more about that God does

not find fault. He does not find. You understand?

James told us. Right? James 1, verse 5. Right?

James 1:5

Are we together? Please, come with me. I want

to show you that God's covenant of righteousness

does not do what? Does not find fault. It is

the fault covenant. That old system brought by

unbelief that find fault. You know, sir, Remember

what we said, Paul said in the psalm. I would

not have known. Did you understand what I'm saying?

Except the Lord came. When the Lord came, that

was when sin revived. Meaning, that was when

I became aware of sin. That was when I became

aware of sin. Oh, glory to God. Look at verse

5. He said, If any of you lack wisdom, let him

ask God. Who give how? Liberally. Without what?

Without reproach. That word reproach. Without

shame. Eh? Without shame. Without abuse. Without

shaming you. Huh? There's one song, you see.

Oh, God, no, go shame us. You know that song?

You know, these people are laughing. Yes. God

does not shame. Did you understand what I'm saying?

Yes. He doesn't insult. He doesn't abuse. He

does not defame. That's what reproach means.

Defame me. Reproach. He said he doesn't do that.

He gives liberally without looking for fault.

When he's trying to give you something, he will

not be looking and say, hey, okay, he did this

thing. No. You understand? We shall deal with

him. He did that. He did that. No, he doesn't

pile up to watch your iniquities. You understand?

To give. No, that's not God. Look at that text

we normally read. Hallelujah. 2 Corinthians.

2 Corinthians 5. 2 Corinthians 5, what? 19. Let

me read from verse 18. Now all things are of

God who has reconciled us to himself through

Jesus Christ and has given us the ministry of

reconciliation. Look at verse 19. He said, that

is, That God was where? In Christ reconciling

the world to himself. Not doing what? Not imputing

their trespasses to them. And has committed unto

us the word of reconciliation. So God does not

do what? Does not impute. You understand? He

does not impute sin. Faults of man. No. But what

system does that? Romans 5. What system does

that? Romans 5. 13. Are we together? Amen. Romans

5. 13. For unto the law, sin, Was where? But

sin is not imputed when there is no... So during

the days of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, you know,

sir, there was no imputation of sin. God relate

with men not finding fault. It was when the Lord

came in and piled up, say, you do this, you do

that, you do that, you do this, you do this,

you know, sir. So when that text, you know, sir,

in fact... Romans 3, when you move back a little

bit, Romans 3 .20, Romans 3 .20, it says, Therefore,

by the deeds of the law, no flesh will be justified

in its sight. For by the law is the what? Is

the knowledge of sin. You cannot live by the

law not to be, you must be beholding your sins

and iniquities every day. That is that law. That

is that covenant. That was why that verse we

read in Hebrews says what? Finding fault with

them. You understand? That is the covenant. That

is a system that finds faults. You understand?

This new system is the one that takes away the

fault of men. Are we together? He's the one that

takes away the iniquity. The Lord laid upon him

the iniquities of us all. You understand? Hallelujah.

So God's intention is not to have anyone as a

mediator between God and man. But for he himself

to come. For Jesus himself to be the mediator.

The mediator of better covenant and not Moses.

So both the law and the mediation of Moses were

an addition. Where is an old system. So God revealed

his plan. Lively oracles. But to a rebellious

people. He rejected it. And what happened? Moses

gave the law. How? By the instrumentality of

angels. We're going to further look at that to

study much more. You understand? Study much more

to see other texts that talks about also because

we're going to read other texts. Now we just

studied Stephen and Paul. We're going to study

others to see how the law was given to the instrumentality

of angels. Now you should begin to picture. Does

that mean that means those things we've been

seeing, angels were the ones doing those things?

We shall see. Hallelujah. Can you just pray and

thank the Lord? We appreciate you being here
