VIII. MAIN BODY:

Deuteronomy 25:13 (Amplified Bible)

You shall not have in your bag true and false weights, a large and a small.

Deuteronomy 25:13 (King James Version)

Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

A. No true and false standards

"You shall not have in your bag true and false weights,"

Diverse weights or "eben" in Hebrew meaning: to build, a stone. A stone has a weight. There are two standards in this world: (1) good, (2) bad. False balance or weight represents bad standards, while true balance or weight represents good standards. Since time immemorial, there has been a battle for good and evil, and it seems evil is winning, but it's not because the LORD JESUS CHRIST, two thousand years ago was already victorious, and even before the foundation of the world He has already been crucified, because even before the foundation of the world, we are already victorious and champions of righteousness for the LORD.

Ephesians 1:4 (Amplified Bible)

Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love.

1 Peter 1:20 (Amplified Bible)

It is true that He was chosen and foreordained (destined and foreknown for it) before the foundation of the world, but He was brought out to public view (made manifest) in these last days (at the end of the times) for the sake of you.

1. False weights or standards : to do evil

Proverbs 11:1 (Amplified Bible)

A FALSE balance and unrighteous dealings are extremely offensive and shamefully sinful to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.

2. True balance or GOD's standards

Proverbs 16:11 (Amplified Bible)

A just balance and scales are the Lord’s; all the weights of the bag are His work [established on His eternal principles].

Job 31:6 (Amplified Bible)

Oh, let me be weighed in a just balance and let Him weigh me, that God may know my integrity!

I'll choose GOD's sets of standards that are found in His WORDS, I have chosen righteousness, I have chosen the yoke of the LORD, it has weight, but it's light.

Deuteronomy 30:19 (Amplified Bible)

I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live

Romans 1:17 (Amplified Bible)

For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith.

Romans 10:5 (Amplified Bible)

For Moses writes that the man who [can] practice the righteousness (perfect conformity to God’s will) which is based on the Law [with all its intricate demands] shall live by it.

1 Peter 2:24 (Amplified Bible)

He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed.

When we choose GOD's righteousness we are deciding to live by faith not by sight.

Matthew 11:30 (New International Version)

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Matthew 11:30 (Amplified Bible)

For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.

ILLUSTRATION: There's one co-worker who appear to be alpha male on us and he beats everyone and he's showing he's tough, cruel and brave, but when I confronted him on accepting the LORD JESUS CHRIST, he said he can't make a decision right now, so I called him coward, because he can't make a decision but I already made mine.

B. Great and small are nothing, but GOD's standards only matter

"a large and a small"

Micah 6:11-12 (Amplified Bible)

Can I be pure [Myself, and acquit the man] with wicked scales and with a bag of deceitful weights?

For [the city’s] rich men are full of violence; her inhabitants have spoken lies and their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.

Ezekiel 45:10-11 (Amplified Bible)

You shall have just weights on your scales and just measures—both a just ephah measure and a just bath measure.

The ephah and the bath measures shall both be the same size, the bath containing one tenth of a homer and the ephah one tenth of a homer; the standard measure shall be the homer.

Proverbs 20:10 (Amplified Bible)

Diverse weights [one for buying and another for selling] and diverse measures—both of them are exceedingly offensive and abhorrent to the Lord.

Don't carry two standards: one wordly and the other GODly. Carry only 1, that is GOD.

Matthew 6:24 (Amplified Bible)

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in).

Luke 16:13 (Amplified Bible)

No servant is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (riches, or anything in which you trust and on which you rely).

1 Timothy 6:2 (Amplified Bible)

Let those who have believing masters not be disrespectful or scornful [to them] on the grounds that they are brothers [in Christ]; rather, they should serve [them all the better] because those who benefit by their kindly service are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these duties.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You are my Sets of Standards, and You alone can set me free.
