Disobedience

“We have to understand that. That's where the battle begins. Temptation is not sin, because Jesus was tempted, but he never allowed himself to begin to believe the lies. But when we do begin to believe the lies, we act out in sin and in disobedience, and disobedience always brings death. So how do we battle? How do we battle in that one little lane as best we can?”

“And this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins. As regards to the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For just as you were at one time disobedient to God, but now have received mercy because of their disobedience.”

“But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For just as you were at one time disobedient to God, but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you, they also may now receive mercy.”

“These play into, because of the fall, we're not existing and living as the original intent like Adam and Eve because of their disobedience and their willful disobedience to God. And because of our disobedience to God, we're living in a flesh.”

“We see that this covenant, it's based upon human obedience to some degree. That's why we can see that it had flaws. The problem with this old covenant is that the people they were disobedient, they were faithless and therefore the tabernacle it was inadequate. We because they were disobedient and faithless they did not uphold their part of the covenant and that's why it had to vanish and become obsolete.”

“But why were they disobedient? Remember unbelief. Again he appoints a certain day today saying through David so long ago afterward in the words of the already quoted today if you hear his voice do not harden your hearts. For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on.”

“And the consequences were tied to their disobedience to God's law. So just remember that there's consequences to their disobedience. That was a covenant with them. Um begin the wilderness wanderings and God led them through the wilderness and they were headed to the promised land, right? And he led them by cloud by day and by fire by night. I heard something on this and I always thought, "Oh, that's neat.”

“Disobedience and sin in our lives can be the most burdensome thing for us. And we may not realize it at the time, but if we are harboring bitterness or unforgiveness, disobedience, a lack of self-control, a lack of patience, anger, those things weigh us down. So we need to assess ourselves regularly. Okay, how's my thought life? What would I give myself on a scale of one to ten? You know, what would that be? Am I bitter about something? Am I holding some unforgiveness?”
