R1206 One Life

Here's Dr. Don Wilton line is that human life is that God is saying to us when it comes down to the issue of abortion. For example, it's very in America that the birthday of Roe V Wade is also the 40th day of of unborn babies in our nation whole body nation in which we live infected very often it's a brand-new brand-new perspective. So many are saying is on the 10 Commandments from Dr. Don Wilton is changing their life have Dr. Don Wilton office of The Encouraging Word welcome to this addition, one like the title of this particular message in the living to the power series all about discovering the 10 Commandments in a fresh new way to how we live our life every day know that while we are studying the word together were also available to pray 866-899-WORD is our phone number 866-899-9673 meters online The Encouraging Word.org.today's Monday message with Dr. Don Wilton models. He threw this about lives. If you look at the Israelites so good things happen if we would just analyze them. There was a lot of good. I mean they were many times when they had every reason to say wow everything's great. They would be English, but suffice.

They went through some very difficult times and some of you today will identify with both states lunch Israelites as much as they serve the Lord.

They sinned against him in today. You will not find ourselves right and when God invited them to live up to the power of 10, he gave the Tampa Mongols. He wasn't giving them just simply a set of what he was doing as he was showing them how to live in relation to him and then how to live in relation to one another. It's not just about what happens with God but because of my relationship with God. He gives to me and to you the means by which we need to operate with one another and in and of ourselves, our lives are a direct reflection of our lives in Christ, and so he gave these Mongols and when Jesus came, Jesus didn't come to do away with the rules and regulations. He came to full food.

He put them in the context of relationship as I've seen from time to time. The choice we have is to invite Moses into our lives, or to invite Jesus. I'm going to invite Jesus.

If you run your life according to Moses going to be a legalist you going to be nothing but a policy and a manual and if your life is run according to rules and regulations.

You won't be able to do it. You cannot live according to rules and regulations.

Christ is the one who came not to replace that. But to fulfill.

To make it possible to live that out and he did it in the context of relationship. So here in Exodus chapter 20 we read this staggering statement that God made in verse 13.

One of the shortest versus I'm going to read you. Exodus chapter 20 you shall not murder. Some constellations use the word you shall not kill.

You may not take life. I want you to turn quickly with me to Psalm 159 Psalm 139. Just look at this passage wonderful passage turn their in your Bible to the Psalm hundred and 39 let's just begin reading.

For example, in verse 13, Psalm 139. This is what what the psalmist said concerning God, you, my inward parts, you, me, together in my mother's womb. You form in my inward parts, and me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works, my soul knows very well. My frame is not hidden from you when I was being made beautiful state intricately woven in the depths of the earth your eyes so my old substance storm of life in your book were written every one of them. The days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them precious to me on the thoughts of God, and it goes on very powerful yet guess what I want to do for you today. I want you to hear the love of God, not the condemnation of God's I'm going to make a statement. Everybody ready for this in the world today in which we have Columbine massacre's mass killings. How about you tell us. Barry said in a day in which abortion the killing of unborn babies is sanctioned fact it's just ramp windows that leave us the manner with which we carry out our lives concerning life is a direct reflection of the manner with which we use the source of life is God. So if you have a little view of God, you gonna have a load of life. If you have a nonexistent view of God, you have a nonexistent view of life, so this awful subject of murder, killing or taking of life and all the red Rick and all the political stuff that goes on bottom line is God saying to us.

I want you to know on the mountaintop that this whole issue of life is going to be governed by the manner with which you relate to me. And when you relate to me. I want you to see one thing and that is that I love. Let's remember this the 10 Commandments on Monday categorizing of sin. Sin is severe. No matter which way you look at it because Olson carries the penalty of God. I want to just make an announcement cannot just do this. Even the Son of Man verdict can be completely forgiven. So there might be someone today and for whatever reason, you've gone through an abortion for all I want you to know that Jesus loves you and I want you to know that when you turn to him that you are completely forgiven. You need to you need to accept that and you need to understand that and you need to be set free. Bob, you remember, even Jesus, when there was a woman who was caught in adultery symbol which one of you would like to throw the first start.

This is not about deeming this was about the redemption of God with in the battle of man, because ultimately what Jesus ended up signing Matthew 15 he pointed to the hockey said. He said let me really burst your bubble. Americans, if you think murdering your heart.

You are as guilty as someone who committed an atrocity at Newtown.

I mean that it might be guilty and that happens in the best of families. How is God involved in life what what is this got to do this is about life. It's about the sanctity of life. The reason God was saying do not murder, as he was saying you need to understand that life is absolutely sacred. Life is absolutely precious from conception windows life begin God's told us we don't need ex-wife God's told sub just read it to God said, not asking us if we'd like to go back to Congress about not for one minute what's there to talk about what's to negotiate over and what God is trying to show our shift funds is some very deep foods that are tied into the hot so how's God involved in life. Just think about this.

Number one he creates life life comes from him.

He's the originator number two. He redeems life when he created life, which is he is involvement at the very begin at the very inception of life and we use the word contraception when life begins between a mother and a father and that baby is conceived. We know what happened to that life that life sinned against God, and they came a check. It was disrupted the life blood flow between God and Creator and man created was interrupted so wanted God to do about it. He redeemed, he said I'm not I'm not going too late to be an interruption. I'm going to allow the blood to flow, so he redeems lot number three. He sustains life. He doesn't only save us from our sin, but he sustains us as we live our lives that are saved from certain he never leaves us never for psychosis and number 40 guarantees life that's eternal life. So yes operative things right. He creates life.

The redeems why he sustains life and guarantees life so is the taking of life, pure and simple. Killing is the taking of life. So what did God mean by this is interesting to look at some things that other people I look at many of my heroes in the Christian you take like John Calvin elaborate all of John Calvin's institutes of the Christian religion, and when I went back and I said to myself I wonder what John Calvin say about radiologist summarizing. John Calvin said when God spoke about our self, not he was talking about two things. The defense of life and the active recognition of life God was saying that we must actively life but we must also actively recognize the preciousness of life. Matthew Henry great Bible commentary written by Matthew Henry, I'm sure some of you have become well acquainted with Matthew Henry and I briefly say when God seemed docile, not murder. There were three things that he was not including in that I have found this to be true in my study. I'll explain it. He was not talking about wool. What is the law of war. We other people use were justified war in which there is evil if you take for example the second will those of you who were there. Those who started the second world war adult Hitler, the third Reich. The atrocities marching into Poland and Czechoslovakia taking over the murder. The things that were going on that justifiable that's what he's talking about God was not referring to, show you that just a minute number two. Necessary defense. He wasn't necessary for what's necessary defense where life is threatened.

So yes, will you justify abortion when I mother's life is threatened when they had been untoward circumstances that are being involved in someone walks in your home at night you got every right to confront that person to the point at which sadly that person's life would be because they are attacking and threatening your life that's necessary defense and then the third area is the dancing which is, of course, this issue of capital punishment which is very important late, but capital punishment.

This is not what God was talking about. In fact, throughout Scripture. He he reiterates that, in fact, capital punishment is tied into the cognitive goal because God tells us that anyone who sheds the blood of man by man his blood should because this is the Lord God said, capital punishment issue which I'm not getting into is the system of law. That's why we have one floor in the country when anarchy reigns.

If there is no system of law in the country. What happens is you threaten the sanctity of what God's promise that because people can be executed and justly one of the hardest things for me to deal with personally is the appeals process but we can't understand that the appeals process in a law-abiding country is actually very important.

A person condemned for a crime today to be able to have every meeting exhausted before they are executed. And that's hard to swallow sometimes and that brings the mitigating circumstances and all the other things in our attorneys at law will deal with those issues. So the bottom line is that human life is sacred, God is saying to us when it comes down abortion. For example, it's very in America that the birthday of Roe V Wade is also the day of of unborn babies in our nation more abiding nation in which we live. In fact, the very talk to about existence begins.

We the people there's more power in God's word to come in just a minute.

Dr. Wilton has a great deal more to come but he insisted I let you know we hear from you to pray with you and for you keyboard keyboard on a website@theencouragingword.org that's the Encouraging Word.org or on the phone line at 8668. That's 866-899-9673 again. We had some friends asking yesterday about the growing TBN broadcasting and DayStar broadcast. The Encouraging Word is now on television literally around the globe and if you'd like to discover more, visit our website The Encouraging Word.org, or you happen to get TBN today Mondays at 630 Eastern Dr. Wilson's current exciting message that's coming up later today. Had the Encouraging Word.org all the times to see the broadcaster available right there. We love to get you connected Palestine back into today's message one life, all part of the living to the power of 10 message series Dr. Don Wilton. In fact, the very talk to about existence begins. We the people we spend most of our waking hours. The value of every individual person and we are so determined. We even expand that to what if I reached up in in the west part of our country and got caught in the sound. It is amazing how many millions of dollars will be spent trying to save a whale, but we are not concerned about killing the babies in defiance of God's will. It's a reflection of who we are and it's a reflection of our attitude toward God. It's not justified, it cannot fall into any category. And so what we've done as a nation is recording beautiful phrases like a woman's right got nothing to do with woman's right because we value all people man and woman in every way and we got a lot of work to do in every way. This is not about the right of a woman to choose. If that were the case, and we would follow that logical in the nation in which we pride ourselves on the fact that we trust in God, then we would about telling that same woman that she cannot go and buy cocaine and put it in her body. We wouldn't care about the FDA, the Federal drug administration, we wouldn't care about saying no, there are some things you can do that you cannot do this is harmful to you. You cannot man, woman, boy, so therefore we as a nation would just simply sanctified and say what you got a right to kill that baby in your body. Even fact we are a Christian nation when you interfere with life interfere with the giver of life team mom and some other attached series of instructions that are basic unit beginning gone. Often they are expressed through our hearts. You remember a group of people came to Jesus and said to him, what's the greatest commandment, Jesus said in Matthew chapter 22. He said love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind and what's the second part of love your neighbor as you love yourself is not amazing that Jesus would've connected that interrelationship between God on the mountain and man in the Valley, and God is not saying let me tell you what, I'm the low down not robbing you sit on them to bring you to the mountain I'm going to give you the means by which you indeed can live to the power of 10 and so we know that sin is not equal if not equal in consequence of sin is not equal in severity, but sin is the unity of God.

So, for example, young people watch this if I was to put up right now. A big sheet of gloss just a huge sheet of gloss and I was to get a hammer and one 1 mile and I was choosing the point on that gloss and I was smacked that mail into that sheet of gloss at any point.

What would happen it would shatter the entire gloss. It would break the whole thing so it is what God is saying it. This is not a detached series of legalistic tomorrow. What an easy and fusion of the relationship that we have in Christ. And so yes it maybe just one doctor or one little spec but sin is the unity of God and if you get real close to this. We then begin to understand that is a heart problem.

That's why Jesus said what he said in Matthew 15 is a reflection of a heart problem with God. It's a reflection of a heart problem with your silk and it's a reflection of a heart problem with you fellow man whose God yourself and your fellow man in the eyes of God. Take a closer I'm looking to get into much detail about this, but that he is very important when it comes to this tomorrow is the Hebrew verb.

I'll just transliterated Rick RTZ ACH or CEC H Rick set okay in the Hebrew it's a it's an interesting word and it has a wide range of means it's the good that God uses to in this particular passage. It generally describes destructive activities, but it also specifically includes the bright dashed to pieces or to slate to the murder and the Bible never uses this stuff in relation to just toward fighting warfarin zones never uses #it's not the same word that is used when necessary paints. It's not the same that is used when you deal with the same capital punishment. When God uses this word concerning this one life.

What is he using uses that would result with Israel. When the Egyptian slave killed the Israelites when Moses met when Moses and Egyptian another place, when used with pain killed his brother Abel.

Powerful message and we are just halfway through. Forgive the interruption, but we have to break and come back tomorrow with the rest of it.
