Classic Christianity – Law and Thanksgiving – Part 2 – 11-27-25

Law and Thanksgiving – Part 2 – 11-27-25

~ “Therefore carefully take heed how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Because of this, do not be foolish, but understand what is the Lord’s will, and not to be drunk with wine in which is debauchery. Instead be filled with the Spirit, speaking to each other in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, GIVING THANKS at all times for all things in the name our Lord Jesus Christ to the God and Father.” Ephesians 5:15-20

Live under the Law of Life today. In Christ Jesus, He is our everything. We have been given everything in Him, and as such there is only one thing we can do, Give Thanks. Give thanks with a grateful heart. Understand what the Lord has done for you. Share Truth with others. Share the message of Thanksgiving with those around you. Because we have a new identity. We are children of God!

…..

And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life?”
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good, except God alone. Luke 18:18,19

~ “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:12

~ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing in Me, even if he should die, he will live. And everyone living and believing in Me shall never die, to the age. Do you believe this?” John 11:25,26

Pray to God:

Do you really want to know the WHOLE Truth of what is going on today?

Lord Jesus, teach me the truth of the world today and give me the wisdom to know the truth and identify the lies of the devil. Thank you God.”

~ “Now, what is salvation guys? Oh, you’ve sinned. You need your sins forgiven. You know we’ve never gone beyond that you’ve sinned and you need your sins forgiven. That’s salvation to this day, that is the major teaching in Christendom, and all you need is to get your sins forgiven. Why? Because, basically, you’re a good person. No, you’re dead. You’re a stinking corpse, dead. Don’t care how nice you look. Don’t care what kind of spiritual perfume and deodorant you put on. You’re dead. And we said, no, no, no, no, no, you got to be politically correct. That’s not very nice to say about those sweet people. I mean, there’s some nice people over there, yeah, but they’re dead, yeah. Probably some nice corpses around, but they’re dead, and we have to understand this is what God had to come to do, not just to take away your sins. Your sins are what caused your death. So if I didn’t take away what caused it, why would I give you life, because if it didn’t take away what caused it and it gave you life, the next time you sinned, you’d be dead again. I had to free you guys from that whole realm over here, the whole realm that you live in, the whole realm of it under the control, prisoner, locked up until what? Faith in Christ should be revealed. Now, guys who in the world is going to be capable of taking you out of that state of death into life? Is Buddha going to do it? Is Mohammed going to do it? Is any man that you know going to do it? These people would get up and say, Oh, well, this religion is their bull. Religion, all of it is junk, all of it, including the Christian religion. If that’s all you have is religion. It’s all what he says, dung, compared to that of what? Knowing the only one whose life was capable of being laid down totally taking away the sins of the whole world, not covering them, taking them away and was raised from the dead so that you and I could be raised from the dead, new citizenship.” ~ Bob George

Because I was under the law. Now, did I know I was under the law? I didn’t know it because I didn’t pay attention to it, but it still was true. I was under a death penalty. I was still empty inside. I didn’t know it was because I was dead spiritually, but I sure knew I was empty spiritually, even though I went to church on Sunday and gave my dollar a week, if I felt generous that week. So you can play church over here and you can be aware of your emptiness over here. Why? Because the Scripture tells us that the purpose of the law is to manifest your sinfulness and to show you that you are sinful, and to show you that there is a consequence for sin called death, and you are dead spiritually and in need of spiritual life. That’s the purpose of the law, not to use it as a standard of holiness, because you cannot keep it, but to show you, your death, death is final. It’s bad. There’s no spiritual life over here. I mean, you can play church, don’t get me wrong. You can play church. You can dress up and go to church every Sunday. You can you can give tithes offerings, you can play religion. In fact, that’s what Satan gets you to do. Satan says, I sure the heck I’m not going to teach you that you’re dead and there’s spiritual life available to you, so I’ll teach you how to be religious. Teach you how to go to church, teach you how to dress up and look good. Teach you how to lie spiritually. Couldn’t teach you how to evangelicalize. I can teach you anything. You can be taught anything, but you’re dead. It’s not the case of how bad you are or how good you are, it’s how dead you are. It’s all through the script. The wages of sin is what? Death. Sin shall not be your master, which means, when you’re under the law, sin is your master. He’s your owner. You’re just like a slave with an owner, a mean one that takes you and manipulates us, coerces in every way, shape or form came to what? To steal, destroy and kill. That’s Satan. That’s your land over there.

Now, what is salvation guys? Oh, you’ve sinned. You need your sins forgiven. You know we’ve never gone beyond that you’ve sinned and you need your sins forgiven. That’s salvation to this day, that is the major teaching in Christendom, and all you need is to get your sins forgiven. Why? Because, basically, you’re a good person. No, you’re dead. You’re a stinking corpse, dead. Don’t care how nice you look. Don’t care what kind of spiritual perfume and deodorant you put on. You’re dead. And we said, no, no, no, no, no, you got to be politically correct. That’s not very nice to say about those sweet people. I mean, there’s some nice people over there, yeah, but they’re dead, yeah. Probably some nice corpses around, but they’re dead, and we have to understand this is what God had to come to do, not just to take away your sins. Your sins are what caused your death. So if I didn’t take away what caused it, why would I give you life, because if it didn’t take away what caused it and it gave you life, the next time you sinned, you’d be dead again. I had to free you guys from that whole realm over here, the whole realm that you live in, the whole realm of it under the control, prisoner, locked up until what? Faith in Christ should be revealed. Now, guys who in the world is going to be capable of taking you out of that state of death into life? Is Buddha going to do it? Is Mohammed going to do it? Is any man that you know going to do it? These people would get up and say, Oh, well, this religion is their bull. Religion, all of it is junk, all of it, including the Christian religion. If that’s all you have is religion. It’s all what he says, dung, compared to that of what? Knowing the only one whose life was capable of being laid down totally taking away the sins of the whole world, not covering them, taking them away and was raised from the dead so that you and I could be raised from the dead, new citizenship.

As an example you have, Let’s say we have a map and of the United States. And at the lower end of that map, do we have that map on the computer? On the yeah, there it is on the southern end is Mexico, Northern end Canada. Now let’s say that you were born in Mexico. And in Mexico, and again, these are just examples. In Mexico, it’s tough life. You got a tyrant, that’s your master, and he reigns, does he? Not as long as you’re there, he reigns. But one day, somebody comes and comes and gets you, as we showed last week with James and his wife, and picks you up and moves you over to Grace land. You’re no longer over here, and that’s why it says you used to live there. Shall sin? If we died to sin, shall we live in it anymore? You don’t live there anymore. You don’t live under the sin principle God, folks, is not dealing with you as a born again believer. And James, I wish you guys should just get up move again. Will you do that for me? In fact, let’s all of you move out of there. All of you who are born again move out of there. And what I’m saying is you’re all under the law. So when you move you’re moving out of the law. So get out of there. Empty that place out. You’re over here now in Grace land, and I can see you better too. Now you got one couple back there that wants to stay dead, and if they want to stay dead, that’s their choice, but you’re dead under the law, and if you stay there, you’re going to go where you want to go, because you don’t want to go to Grace land. You want to stay under the law, dead. And you got a privilege, you got the right to do that, and you got a choice to do that. But to those who said, no, no, I want to live. I don’t want to live under that law, it kills me. I want to live under grace. I want to be led internally by the Spirit of God, and now they’re over here, brand new, brand new place. They’ve moved out of Mexico, and now they live in the United States. And in the United States you can choose many, many places to live. That’s why they call it the United States. Is because it’s states that are united, one to another, and even though different states can have different laws, they’re all under the one law called America, the United States of what? America you are now children of the living God. You are now not a Baptist or a Presbyterian or a Methodist. Your identity isn’t where you park your body on Sundays or Saturdays, your identity is who you are. You’ve been made into a new creation. You’re over here now you’re no longer over there.

Now you say, Well, I can I go back? No, you can’t go back. You absolutely cannot go back, any more than a caterpillar can go back, or a butterfly can go back to being a caterpillar. He’s new creation, but you can visit close by, and that’s what a lot of Christians do. They say, Well, I know I can’t go back, but I’m going to sit on this aisle right over here, where Gene is close as I can get to the law, but realizing that, no, I’m not under it, but I’m close to it, because it was my friend.

Says, heaven forbid. Heaven forbid. Now let’s read this. Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? In other words, it says, where the law is, Grace increases where sin increases, Grace increases all the more. So he said, well, then should we go on sinning so this grace could increase? Said, by no means, you died to sin. You’re over here. You die where you lived. That’s sin and death over here. Guys, do you realize that God is no longer dealing with you on the basis of sin and death? Do you realize that he’s not dealing with you on the basis of sin? Not if you’re over here. You say, God, I did it again. He said, did what again? Well, the sin that I committed yesterday, it’s been taken away. Well, the sin I’m going to commit tomorrow, it’s been taken away. What are you coming to me for? For the sin issue? I’ve dealt with it. I dealt with it 2000 years ago, I dealt with it at the cross. Your sins were judged. The verdict was guilty, the punishment was death, and I took it all. That’s why there’s none left for you. That’s why it says in the Bible there is now No condemnation awaiting you, who belong to Christ, Jesus, well, why isn’t there any condemnation awaiting you? I deserve some condemnation. He said, That’s not the issue. The issue is I’ve dealt with it, and I dealt with it in the most harsh way that I knew. I crucified my Son so that that blood that was shed for you could be put on you, and you could be identified with Him, and it’s through that identification be free from sin. I’m not dealing with you on the basis of sin today.

Now that’s a far cry from that continual teaching is, Joe, you keep on sinning, brother and God’s going to get you, and you keep on sinning, Jim and God can take your business away from you, or you keep on sinning and I’m going to take my Cowboy tickets away from you. It’s a far cry, because that’s not true. It’s not true. Do we deserve punishment? Yeah. Do we get it? No, no condemnation. Why? Because that was God’s plan. He said, I’m not going to be dinking around with you folks for 1000s of years. I’m going to deal with sin one time. I’m going to deal with it, I’m going to judge it, I’m going to eliminate it. To all of those who come to Christ by faith, you’re in a different realm. You live in a different community, you live in a different country. You no longer live in Mexico, you live in United States. No longer live in Canada, you live in the United States. You’re under the rule and the reign of the United States, a different ruler. Our ruler is Jesus. Their ruler was Satan. Which would you want to live in Satan’s world or God’s world? You got a choice over here. What does this world bring you? Misery. Misery, doesn’t it? It sounds so good, it sounds so tempting, but the end of it is Death.

Bob George 13:36
You remember we’re coming close to New Year’s, do you remember New Year’s parties when you were lost? How many of you remember New Year’s parties when you were lost? Have you ever been a dumber thing in the world? You sit around and blow these dumb things out and twirl your little deals and get drunk and they Oh, boy, I have fun. I got such a headache, I can’t walk today, but I was that fun. Fun? The most boring thing you ever go to in your life. Boring, but we make it look good. You see all this stuff on television. You see these young ladies dressed up in these scantily clothed girls and saying, oh, it’s fun to be bad. And I think, have you ever been in that realm, giving your bodies up like a piece of chattel, like a toilet seat, and turning your bodies over to any Tom, Dick and Harry that wants to come along and use you, make you feel good? You feel like a tramp. Don’t tell me you feel good. We know better. The sexual stuff that is going on today with teenagers is unbelievable to me. It’s what’s going on. And yet we sit back and say, Oh, well, just boys will be boys, and girls will be boys. Nonsense. You had better discipline your kids and teach them that this stuff will drive you to destruction. A girl many times or a guy, especially, girls have to live with that all their lives, the guilt of it. And instead of men having respect for women and having a respect to treat a girl decently, it’s not the thing to do anymore. That’s law land. That’s over there where you don’t even know right from wrong. You know the purpose of the law is to define what sin is. And we sit down and say, Oh no, it’s we rename it. If you rename it, you can redefine it, but it’s there to teach you what sin is and what the consequence of sin is.

And so, guys, you now live in a new realm. You live in a new location. This is called Grace land. Under Grace land, there’s no condemnation awaiting you. Who belong to Christ, Jesus. Under Grace land, you are not people who get forgiven. You are forgiven people. You’re not people who ask if you’re going to walk by faith, because this is Grace land and it’s faith land over there is law land. Over here, you’re living in a new realm altogether. To ask for what you already have would be ludicrous, wouldn’t it? You have eternal life. You have been given an eternal inheritance in Christ, Jesus. You have all of the promises. Everything that belongs to Christ belongs to you. Because what he’s saying here is you have been identified now with Christ. It says you have been baptized. And what is interesting, folks, is when it talks in verse three in chapter six of Romans. Don’t you know that all of you who are baptized into Christ were baptized into his death, and instead of glorying in the fact of you’re in Christ now, we start paying attention on baptism, and put emphasis on baptism. Well, guys, there’s a physical baptism and there is a spiritual baptism. Remember, John the Baptist said that I baptize with water, but in a few days, the one coming after me, whose sandals I’m not worthy of untying, will baptize you with who? The Holy Spirit. So when you come to Christ, Jesus, the Spirit of God, comes to live in you, to indwell you. And the Bible says, If the Spirit does not live in you, you do not belong to Him. You cannot be saved apart from the life of Christ. The Spirit of God, who now comes to live in you, baptizes or places you into his body. He is now the head. You are the body. You’re not the body of Christ over here, there’s only two of you there. You’re not the body of Christ. There’s the body of Christ, there’s the graveyard, here’s the body of Christ, there’s the dead, here’s the living. And so he says to us that you were baptized into Christ, were baptized into his death. We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, and again, we get all hung up on the baptism instead of the fact that this is an act of God. This is not an act of man. This is an act of God where He places you into his body, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

In other words, I’m identified with the one who died to take away my sins. I’m identified the one who was buried in order to prove his death, and I’m identified with the one who was raised from the dead so that I could be raised from the dead. I’m in Christ, all that belongs to Christ belongs to me. He’s seated in the heavenly so am I? You say, Well, no, you’re here. Well, spiritually, I’m there. I’m already there. That’s what negates, to me, this idea that you could lose your salvation. To me, it’s nonsense. We had somebody tried to stop our program in when we were out in California, was going to going to picket the church for sponsoring us there because we teach you have eternal security. Say Dumb and Dumber. Anybody thinks that you can lose salvation does not know what salvation is, period. You just don’t know what it is. Because if you can lose it, it’s all tied up in sin. But you can out sin the grace of God. Well, I tell you, you can’t out sin the saved grace of God. As a matter of fact, if you’re in Christ, Your sins have been wiped away, never to see never to see him again. So how you going to walk away? If you’re in the light as he’s in the light, how you ever going to get in darkness?

So at any rate, everything that belongs to Christ is yours. He’s your inheritance. Do you believe that, guys? I mean, is that good news, or is just ho hum? Seems to me it should be good news. We’ve been united with Him, in His death. We certainly will also be united with Him in His resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be done away with, and that we should no longer be a slave to sin. Because anyone has died has been, what guys, what does it say? That’s in verse, what six, seven. What’s it say? Because anyone has died has been, what freed from the law. Again, back to the law. You’re not under it. Do we understand that if you’re saved, you’re not under the law. You may be saved and be stupid in your teaching and get yourself back under the law or keep yourself under the law, but if you’re saved, you’re not under it from God’s standpoint, you’re just you’re just fooling around. You’re just pretending you’re over there, but you’re not, from God’s standpoint, that’s not where you are. You’re over here. So you say, what are you hanging on to that over here for? That killed you. Don’t you know that the wages of sin under the law is death that killed you, what do you want to hang on to that for? And there are people tenaciously want to hang on to that why? They’re either lost or they’ve never known their identity in Christ, never known it. Sad.

The dynamic, my friends of evangelicalism, is not just you get your sins forgiven, it’s the fact that you have been placed into Christ. That’s the dynamic of evangelicalism. God has placed you into his Son. You’re in the Son. I’m crucified with Christ. Nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me, and the life that I live in this flesh of mine, I live by faith in the Son of God, the One who loved me and gave himself for me. That’s who you are. Transferred. No longer over there, look that’s empty. No longer there. Don’t belong to that over there. Stay away from it. Rejoice in what you have. Now, if we died to Christ, we believe it, will also live with Him. Verse eight, chapter six, For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he can’t die again. Death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once and for all, but the life that He lives, He lives for God to God. In the same way King James says, reckon reckon yourself. I reckon so. We say, I reckon so. Count yourself. Count on it. Guys, in other words, believe it. That’s what he’s saying. Put your faith in it. Quit talking like it’s you’re one way over here, when, in essence, you’re still over here.

Is there anything that the law can do to you today as a born again believer? No, not really. Can you make it appear as if he’s doing something to you? Yeah, you can imagine it, but it’s all imagination. It’s not real. We believe that we live with him. He can’t die again. He died to sin once and for all. He’s not going to die again. Is there any more forgiveness to be executed on your behalf by God? Is there, and if there was, what would he have to do? Die again. Is he going to do it? How many of you believe Jesus is coming back? What do you say is going to happen when he came back? Going to come back to bear sin? No, he said, I’m not coming back to bear sin, but to bring salvation for those who are waiting for me. Why isn’t he coming back to bear sin? Seems like there’s sure been a lot of it since he was here. Already done it. The quality of the life of God. The life is in the blood. It’s not just a liquid that you’re talking about. When you’re talking about the blood of Christ, you’re talking about the life of Christ. He laid his life down for you and me, the shedding of His forfeiture of his life. Of such quality being God that it was capable of reaching back to Adam and forward to this very day and on. And so he says, reckon yourself dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ, Jesus.

Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Is there sin in our mortal bodies? He says it there, but don’t let it reign. You don’t need to let it reign, because how does it reign by the law. What is the reign of sin under the law? What’s the reign? What control does that have over you? The wages of sin is what? Death, not under that anymore. So offer your parts of your body as instruments. Don’t offer as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God is those who have been brought from death to life, and offer parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. Why? Look in your Bibles, folks, that’s where you’re going to find this verse 14, For sin shall not be your master, because you’re not under law, but under grace, meaning that if you’re under the law, sin is your master. Where you say, Well, I know a lot of people that are under the law, but they sure are nice acting people. I don’t care how nice they act. That’s not the issue. The issue the Bible says that if you’re under the law, sin is your master. You’re being mastered by someone other than who came to master you, and that’s God.
