[759.54 --> 762.86] And it's also selfish because who are you doing it for?
[764.02 --> 764.72] For me?
[765.58 --> 766.82] I'm doing it for myself.
[767.20 --> 768.22] That's the point there.
[768.50 --> 782.06] But if I obey because God saved me, because I have everything I need, because Jesus is enough, and then I'm completely loved even though I still struggle, and my future is assured, then I can rest in that.
[782.06 --> 789.92] And so I obey because God shows me what real life looks like.
[789.98 --> 792.66] And I obey out of gratitude and joy and love.
[792.92 --> 798.82] And I ask, how can I love more fully like Jesus loves me so I can love others like Jesus?
[798.82 --> 809.78] I don't love to score points, but to bless others as God has blessed me.
[810.22 --> 817.16] And the sad thing is, is that many who go to church live by the wrong order, the Jesus plus order.
[817.56 --> 824.16] I believe, I have to obey, then I'm saved, and then I'll please God.
[824.16 --> 834.40] I believe, I'm saved, I'm saved, I'm going to live like Jesus and obey out of joy.
[834.78 --> 836.26] There's such a difference there.
[836.60 --> 840.14] When I obey to try to score points and get saved, my heart is a mess.
[841.62 --> 844.00] I'm anxious, I'm never sure I'm good enough.
[844.26 --> 846.32] It's all a burden, it's all up to me.
[846.32 --> 851.34] And then you're an irritable kind of person, you're touchy because if anyone criticizes you,
[851.58 --> 854.66] you get very upset since you're struggling to be good enough,
[854.82 --> 857.38] and now you have the audacity to tell me I'm not.
[861.04 --> 862.18] I can't hear that.
[863.94 --> 866.04] Or you have to be right all the time.
[866.26 --> 870.06] Because, you know, it's important that everyone knows how right I am,
[870.06 --> 873.32] because when I'm right, I'm therefore righteous.
[876.32 --> 882.76] Two people sitting together at church every week,
[882.96 --> 886.18] both reading their Bibles, both praying, both attending regularly,
[886.54 --> 888.76] trying to live a good life, doing the same thing,
[888.84 --> 890.90] but for radically different reasons and motives,
[891.18 --> 893.14] with radically different results.
[893.62 --> 898.64] If you obey to be accepted, you'll get self-righteous, self-loathing,
[898.96 --> 900.80] anger, fighting all the time,
[900.80 --> 904.00] versus love, joy, peace, patient, kindness,
[904.40 --> 907.00] and we'll get to that when we get further into Galatians,
[907.12 --> 907.96] the fruits of the Spirit.
[908.92 --> 910.20] Those are the two alternatives.
[914.36 --> 915.64] Most people, I think,
[916.56 --> 917.78] live the old order
[917.78 --> 920.14] and not the new order of the gospel.
[921.56 --> 923.50] The gospel that says you're justified
[923.50 --> 924.70] not by your good works,
[924.70 --> 925.88] not by your obedience,
[926.04 --> 927.76] but by the saving work of Jesus Christ.
[927.76 --> 929.20] Paul says,
[929.74 --> 931.96] I've been crucified with Christ.
[932.08 --> 932.72] What does that mean?
[932.94 --> 934.66] It means that the moment you believe,
[934.82 --> 936.24] you are united with Christ
[936.24 --> 939.34] and all he has done in his death and resurrection.
[939.78 --> 940.98] It means, in a sense,
[941.28 --> 943.20] you died with Christ.
[945.28 --> 948.26] And therefore, you're raised with Christ,
[948.60 --> 949.86] made new in Christ.
[949.86 --> 952.22] The old you is dead.
[952.22 --> 957.76] Jesus' righteousness becomes your righteousness.
[958.18 --> 961.16] He was treated as if he had done all you had done,
[961.32 --> 964.88] and you are treated as if you had done all he had done.
[966.04 --> 967.34] That's the gospel.
[970.04 --> 973.14] God sees you in Jesus.
[973.14 --> 977.10] Isn't that incredibly freeing?
[979.42 --> 980.58] So, let me ask you,
[980.64 --> 982.30] which order are you living by?
[988.30 --> 990.18] Martin Luther, the great reformer,
[990.88 --> 991.72] struggled with this.
[992.54 --> 993.20] He was a monk.
[993.30 --> 994.06] He was very religious.
[994.56 --> 996.62] When he saw the kind of life the Bible called for,
[996.68 --> 998.00] he knew he was coming up short.
[998.24 --> 999.42] It bothered him a lot.
[1000.20 --> 1002.12] He knew he didn't love his neighbors as himself.
[1002.12 --> 1006.08] He was doing the Jesus plus life.
[1007.48 --> 1008.16] And he said this,
[1008.66 --> 1011.08] Night and day I pondered,
[1011.60 --> 1015.14] and then I saw that the righteousness in the gospels
[1015.14 --> 1018.20] is that righteousness whereby this grace
[1018.20 --> 1021.68] and sheer mercy God gives us.
[1023.24 --> 1024.54] God gives us.
[1025.20 --> 1027.72] He realized, I don't give God a righteousness,
[1028.14 --> 1029.24] and then he blesses me.
[1029.24 --> 1032.00] No, he gives me his righteousness.
[1033.12 --> 1034.98] The moment he understood that,
[1035.08 --> 1036.34] he said this, and I quote,
[1036.90 --> 1039.60] Thereupon, I felt myself to be reborn
[1039.60 --> 1043.14] and gone through the doors into paradise
[1043.14 --> 1045.84] when I discovered the distinction.
[1046.70 --> 1048.14] I broke through.
[1049.90 --> 1051.94] When I got the order right,
[1052.22 --> 1053.68] believe, saved, obey,
[1053.80 --> 1055.04] versus believe, obey, saved,
[1055.16 --> 1057.34] I broke through when I understood the distinction.
[1057.88 --> 1058.60] Let me ask you this,
[1058.60 --> 1060.12] Have you broken through?
[1062.34 --> 1063.50] Have you broken through?
[1065.04 --> 1067.06] As a pastor of many, many years now,
[1067.16 --> 1068.44] and as a fellow struggler,
[1068.96 --> 1073.30] I see often that we might confess the right order,
[1074.50 --> 1075.84] believe, saved, obey,
[1076.24 --> 1078.70] and live out the other order,
[1079.38 --> 1081.08] believe, obey, saved.
[1081.08 --> 1084.22] We might be able to say the right thing,
[1084.32 --> 1085.26] grace alone,
[1086.04 --> 1088.40] and live the other order.
