I. EXORDIUM:

Are you saved by the law?

No. I'm saved by grace.

Ephesians 2:8-9 (Amplified Bible)

For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God;

Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.]

Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.]

VIII. MAIN BODY:

Luke 11:46 (Amplified Bible)

But He said, Woe to you, the lawyers, also! For you load men with oppressive burdens hard to bear, and you do not personally [even gently] touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

Luke 11:46 (King James Version)

And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

A. Law imposes burdens on the inhabitants of this world

"But He said, Woe to you, the lawyers, also! For you load men with oppressive burdens hard to bear,"

Isaiah 10:1 (Amplified Bible)

WOE TO those [judges] who issue unrighteous decrees, and to the magistrates who keep causing unjust and oppressive decisions to be recorded,

Matthew 23:2-4 (Amplified Bible)

The scribes and Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat [of authority].

So observe and practice all they tell you; but do not do what they do, for they preach, but do not practice.

They tie up heavy loads, hard to bear, and place them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves will not lift a finger to help bear them.

Galatians 6:13 (Amplified Bible)

For even the circumcised [Jews] themselves do not [really] keep the Law, but they want to have you circumcised in order that they may glory in your flesh (your subjection to external rites).

B. Law will not be able to help people but GOD will.

"and you do not personally [even gently] touch the burdens with one of your fingers"

Isaiah 58:6 (Amplified Bible)

[Rather] is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every [enslaving] yoke?

GOD, the LORD JESUS CHRIST came here on earth, became human being to break the bonds of wickedness, that consciousness of sin to turn it into consciousness of grace.

Psalms 97:11 (Amplified Bible)

Light is sown for the [uncompromisingly] righteous and strewn along their pathway, and joy for the upright in heart [the irrepressible joy which comes from consciousness of His favor and protection].

Now we have CONSCIOUSNESS OF HIS FAVOR AND PROTECTION.

Acts 8:23 (Amplified Bible)

For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in a bond forged by iniquity [to fetter souls].

Think of ourselves first for a moment, we need to have personal relationship before the the LORD first. Don't look on others but look on ourselves, then afterwards we can clearly remove other sins by sharing to them the gospel.

Matthew 7:3-5 (Amplified Bible)

Why do you stare from without at the very small particle that is in your brother’s eye but do not become aware of and consider the beam of timber that is in your own eye?

Or how can you say to your brother, Let me get the tiny particle out of your eye, when there is the beam of timber in your own eye?

You hypocrite, first get the beam of timber out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the tiny particle out of your brother’s eye.

ILLUSTRATION: This world cannot accept the HOLY SPIRIT because it tells itself that they are clean, they have nothing to do with the filth of this world, yeah they do sins according to themselves that will not affect others, it's their right, it's their sexual right, they became lesbians, they became homosexuals but it's their right they claim their sexual preferences, but they forgot about GOD, they turn to themselves as gods and rejected the WORD OF GOD.

Romans 1:17-29 (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.

For God’s [holy] wrath and indignation are revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who in their wickedness repress and hinder the truth and make it inoperative.

For that which is known about God is evident to them and made plain in their inner consciousness, because God [Himself] has shown it to them.

For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification],

Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened.

Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves].

And by them the glory and majesty and excellence of the immortal God were exchanged for and represented by images, resembling mortal man and birds and beasts and reptiles.

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their [own] hearts to sexual impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves [abandoning them to the degrading power of sin],

Because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen (so be it).

For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one,

And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another—men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own odies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.

And so, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or approve of Him or consider Him worth the knowing, God gave them over to a base and condemned mind to do things not proper or decent but loathsome,

Until they were filled (permeated and saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, iniquity, grasping and covetous greed, and malice. [They were] full of envy and jealousy, murder, strife, deceit and treachery, ill will and cruel ways. [They were] secret backbiters and gossipers,

Take a look at how this world's principle turned men into something else, GOD created Heaven for us to enjoy Heaven with Him, but people turned into darkness and they see fit and find pleasure in hell that was created by GOD for the enemy and his followers. Too sad, but you can't help people who don't need any help.

Blessed be GOD, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, my LORD and SAVIOR that He opened my eyes, He initiated saving me, and He came to my life, I turned to Him in godly grief.

2 Corinthians 7:10 (Amplified Bible)

For godly grief and the pain God is permitted to direct, produce a repentance that leads and contributes to salvation and deliverance from evil, and it never brings regret; but worldly grief (the hopeless sorrow that is characteristic of the pagan world) is deadly [breeding and ending in death].

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You saved me through Your Grace and none of my human effort have saved me but through Your Grace alone.
