The Covenant Of Sinai Series

Galatians 3

Been looking at Covenants

This Sinai Covenant- Old Covenant- OLD TESTAMENT

Covenant of LAW-

The Law has Created more confusion that any other thing in the Bible

Why did God give us the Law? Should I obey it?

Can’t mix the 2 covenants- Old wine in new wine skins

If I said- “OLD DRESS- NEW DRESS” which ones for today

You have to understand- the difference between OLD AND NEW

Abraham- Isaac- Jacob- Joseph- Pharoh – moved to Egypt- 430 yrs- Moses

More Jews than there are people with FAITH

MORE BAPTIST THAN CHRISTIANS

“LET MY PEOPLE GO” 10 Plagues- All plagues were their gods

What motivated God to Set the Children FREE -----

Exodus 2:24

God set His people free- because of the Abraham Covenant

The covenant of Law was God’s marriage contract with ISRAEL

Sinai and the law- was proving Israel was a NATION

God becomes a Husband they become a wife

Deuteronomy 28:1-14

Why did God give them law

1. The Knowledge of sin – to define sin- Romans 3:20

The law helps us remember WHAT IS WRONG!!

Romans 3:23 “ All have sinned and come short of the glory of God”

I WAS TAUGHT- SIN IS MISSING THE MARK

WHAT IS THE MARK?--- THE GLORY OF GOD

Exodus 33:12- 34:7

The glory of God, is God’s character-

Basically- GOD’s CHARACTER IS LOVE –

Romans 13

10Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Galatians 5

14For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Sin is not loving each other

2. Reveals your sin to You – I don’t care how good you are

YOU ARE A SINNER

ROMANS 3:19

Romans 5:20Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Cor. 15: 56The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

ROMANS 7:9-20

FINDING NEMO

Nemo gets kidnapped- Dori and Merlin go to find Nemo

Great White Shark- nice and kind

Invites Marlin and Dori- Support Group

These sharks are pretending

“I am a nice shark” “I am not a mindless eating maching”

“Fish are friends not food”

Dori bumps her nose- Bruce the Shark cares for minute- till he smells blood

Started chasing her---“Don’t fall off of the wagon”

The Blood revealed their true nature

The law doesn’t make you a sinner

The law shows you who you really are

The Law Shows you who you are-

But it cannot make you Righteous and Holy

Only Jesus can change your nature

Galatians 3:15-25

1. It was added because of Sin

TILL WHEN?

2. Until the seed comes

Once we have been brought to Christ-

We no longer need a TUTOR
