*The Two Ways of **Ivation*
*A.
Introduction*
1.
There are many things that can be done in more than one way.
i. Dieting
ii.
Grading papers in class iii.
Games: Checkers, Football iv.
Driving from Joplin to Tulsa
2. Do you realize that you can also relate to God in more than one way?
Jack Cottrell at CBS.
i.
You can relate to God by way of law & try to be saved by law-keeping
ii.
Or you can relate to God by way of grace & accept the salvation that he offers through grace
3. The two ways illustrated: Two windows of heaven
i.
The window of law: He sees everyone who chooses to relate to him by way of law.
*Everyone **God sees **through **this **window is treated by **God the **way **he **deserves to **be treated.*
ii.
The window of grace: He sees everyone who chooses to relate to him by way of grace.
*Everyone **God **sees through **this **window is treated just **the opposite **of the way he **deserves to **be treated.*
\\ 4. Illustrated again: Two gates of heaven
i. Law Gate: These people ar3 lined up trying to earn the r way into heaven
ii.
Grace Gate: These people have given up on trying to earn their way and have simply decided to accept i:h /i /gift of salvation that is offered by God
5. 2 Questions
i. Which gate has the most people lined up trying] to ge; through?
ii.
Which gate actually has the most people going throng i t?
*I. i **want you **to think about the **first **gate for a **minute.
Think **about: *ls.w *as a way of **salvation.*
*A.
Groundrules*
1. Keep the commandments ard escape the penalty of the lav~/.
2. Break the commandments and suffer the penalty of the law.
*B.
But along with Ithe groundrulos **come several **pieces **of bad naws*
1. Everyone, from the age of accountability begins to relate to God by way of law.
NOT just the law of Moses;.
There is a law that applies to everyone.
2. According to the lav~/ system ir order to be saved by aw /one-must /keep the law.
\\ Baseball 30%; Basketball 50%; School 60%; LAW 100%!!
3. Nobody except for Messiah keeps the law perfectly.
This really is bad news.
It is the point of Paul in the early parts of Romans where he concludes that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
And you do remember the groundruies, don't you?
The second one:
"Break the commandments and suffer the penalty
So what are we saying?
All you have to do to be saved by the law is to keep it- but you must keep it perfectly.
But nobody does that ... so nobody is saved by keeping the law.
4. But is that any big deal?
What difference does it make if we break the law and incur the penalty?
Ah, here is where we need to remember what the penalty is.
*The **penalty **of **lawbreaking is **death.*
So how many people are actually moving through that gate of law into heaven?
NONE!!
Why?
Because their way has been blocked by their own sins.
\\ *C.
**So what **is it **like **trying to live **under the law? 2 illustrations*
1. Concentration camp Olympics
2. Orphan girl with a list of 27 "To Do" items
*Grace as a **way of **salvation **A.
Groundruies (listen closely)*
1. Keep the commandments ard suffer the penalty
2. Break the commandments and escape the penalty
3. Our immediate reaction: It
doesn't sound fair.
It isn't fair, t is more than fair.
*B.
Which groundruies apply to *US?
1.
From the law system: "Break t ie commandment and suffer the penalty"
2. From the grace system
i.
Does the first one appy to is? Keep the commandments end suffer the penalty?
No
ii.
Only the second one applies to us.
It says Break the commandments and escape the penalty.
*C.
Which groundruies apply to **Jesus?*
1.
Who alone has kept all the commands of the law system perfectly?
Jesus.
So he did not deserve to receive the penahy,
2. Isn't it ironic.
The only one win ever kept the law perfectly died on a cross under a curse.
3. Do you remember that first groundrule of the grace way of
\\ salvation?
Keep the commandments and suffer the penalty.
That is Jesus.
