What does the Bible say about God? What does the Old Testament say about Him? And what does the word of God say about the world? In this episode, Pastor Ken continues the argument that God's voice is not merely about the Second Table of the Law, but about himself.

00:00:00 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. God brings nations up and
00:00:30 brings them down based on their commitment to Him, whether or not they're righteous.
00:00:35 And if a nation does wicked things, God will bring them down, bring them low, destroy them.
00:00:40 And in doing wicked things, what's mentioned in Jeremiah 18 is one of the wicked things,
00:00:45 or what causes them to do wicked things, is not listening to God's voice. Okay? Well,
00:00:49 what if they never had God's voice? What if this nation doesn't have the Bible? It doesn't matter.
00:00:53 God's voice comes through the Bible, but it also comes through what he has made through natural
00:00:58 revelation. Skies are preaching, pouring forth speech, beast, birds, fish, all these things
00:01:04 that God has made so that all men are without an excuse, which we'll land on that. That's Romans 1.00
00:01:09 1, 18 through 20. And what is God? So that's how God is speaking. Who is he speaking to? Everyone.
00:01:16 How is he speaking? By what he has made. What is he speaking? According to Job chapter 12,
00:01:21 or seven through 10, one of the things that he's speaking is that he exists and that he's the source
00:01:26 of life and that he holds every living creature in the breath of mankind in his hand. And that
00:01:32 if something takes place, it is the Lord who has done it. That's the message. So we've talked about
00:01:38 how he speaks, who he speaks to, but what does he speak? What he speaks is that he exists,
00:01:45 that he is the creator he is the source and he is sovereign everything that happens happens
00:01:53 underneath his providence and his sovereign banner he decreed it lastly if it wasn't already
00:01:59 clear enough just for those of you who just feel like yeah but it's old testament i really love
00:02:05 the idea of unhitching unhitching well let me give you a new testament verse that you really don't
00:02:10 need because the doctrine has already been firmly established at this point but we'll go ahead put
00:02:15 the final nail in the coffin. This is Romans chapter 1 verse 18 through 20. For the wrath of
00:02:19 God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who by their unrighteousness
00:02:26 suppress the truth. For what can be known, here's again the contents, what is God's voice saying?
00:02:33 What can be known about God? Let me stop for just a moment here. This is the argument that I'm trying
00:02:39 to make. I'm just going to say it abundantly clearly so that nobody could possibly miss it.
00:02:43 the voice of God through natural revelation and creation
00:02:46 does not just communicate to man
00:02:49 the contents of the second table of the law.
00:02:53 Through natural revelation,
00:02:54 through birds and fish and beasts and skies
00:02:56 and day to day and night to night,
00:02:59 God is not through natural revelation
00:03:01 merely communicating to man that it's wrong to murder
00:03:04 and that he should honor his father and mother,
00:03:08 that it's wrong to steal,
00:03:10 that it's wrong to covet,
00:03:11 it's wrong to lie. 0.50
00:03:13 that's not the only message, wrong to commit adultery. I knew there was one more, that's it.
00:03:21 God is not merely communicating through natural revelation to nations everywhere in the world
00:03:25 that it's wrong to breach the second table of the law. That's not what the Bible teaches.
00:03:31 What the Bible instead teaches is that through natural revelation, one of the prominent
00:03:36 tenets of the contents of God's message is not about the second table of the law, but the first.
00:03:42 one of the things that God's communicating is himself not just horizontal um moral rules for
00:03:50 our interaction with our fellow man but God is actually speaking about not just morality and
00:03:55 how we treat fellow people but he's talking about himself it speaks to himself his sovereignty his
00:04:02 power his existence and Romans 1 makes this plain I believe Job's 12 already suffices but Romans 1
00:04:09 makes it abundantly plain. So for what can be known about how we treat our neighbor, how to
00:04:16 love our neighbor, the second table of the law, what can be known about God? God is plain to them
00:04:21 because God has shown it to them for his, not just his laws and how we treat our fellow man,
00:04:29 but his invisible attributes, his own character, things about himself, namely his eternal power
00:04:36 and divine nature have been not just his voice pouring forth, speech pouring forth, not just has
00:04:42 the message been sent out, but it's been clearly perceived. So God spoke, every man heard, and what
00:04:50 was the message about? How to love your neighbor, uh-huh, but also how to love the Lord your God.
00:04:57 That God exists, God is sovereign, God is holy, and you, oh man, need to bow the knee, kiss the sun,
00:05:06 lest he be angry and his wrath quickly kindled.
00:05:10 Pay homage to King Jesus.
00:05:14 That is a message that everyone knows.
00:05:16 Whether they've had one verse of the Bible
00:05:18 delivered to them or not.
00:05:21 Every single person knows there is a God in heaven.
00:05:24 He made all things.
00:05:26 He is sovereign.
00:05:27 He is holy.
00:05:28 And he is worthy of our worship.
00:05:30 And that's precisely why Romans 1 goes on to say
00:05:33 that those who refuse these things that god has said his eternal power his divine nature has
00:05:41 clearly been perceived ever since the creation of the world and still to this day 2 000 years
00:05:45 after the cross and how is it perceived what's the vehicle in the things that have been made
00:05:50 that's nature itself creation natural revelation
00:05:53 We'll be right back.
