07 Study Of The Law Love - CoveteousnessDon McClain
We live in the richest country in the history of the world – YET we live in a society where unhappiness is an epidemic
Advertisers are always sending messages of "You won't be happy until you get our product"
This attitude makes it difficult to enjoy the riches we do have – (our possessions, income, spouse)
Clarke, “The Second Book of Kings contains the history of three hundred and eight years, from the rebellion of Moab, A.M. 3108, to the ruin of the kingdom of Judah, A.M. 3416. The history, on the whole, exhibits little less than a series of crimes, disasters, Divine benefits, and Divine judgments. In the kingdom of Judah we meet with a few kings who feared God, and promoted the interests of pure religion in the land; but the major part were idolaters and profligates of the highest order. The kingdom of Israel was still more corrupt: all its kings were determined idolaters; profligate, vicious, and cruel tyrants. Elijah and Elisha stood up in the
behalf of God and truth in this fallen, idolatrous kingdom, and bore a strong testimony against the corruptions of the princes, and the profligacy of the people: their powerful ministry was confined to the ten tribes; Judah had its own prophets, and those in considerable number.”

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

8. It is not a sin to be rich Abraham was rich, but he walked with God He was used by God to bless the world James confronted the selfish rich He told them to “weep & wail” He gave three reasons:
9. 1. The Way They Got Their Money James 5:4 NIV Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. James 5:6 NIV You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you.
10. The Bible does not discourage acquiring wealth Law of Moses laid down rules for wealth Jews in Canaan owned property, worked it, & benefited from its produce Jesus’ parables showed respect for personal property & private gain The Book of Acts had wealthy Christians Nothing in the NT contradicts the right of private ownership & profit
11. Bible condemns acquiring wealth illegally or for illegal purposes Amos exposed the wealthy who robbed the poor & used wealth for selfish luxuries Isaiah & Jeremiah warned the rich of coming judgment James addresses how the rich acquired their wealth
12.
13. Holding back wages James 5:4 NIV Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.
14. These were day laborers Hired & paid by the day No legal contracts with their employers The Parable of the Workers (Matthew 20) gives insight into the system OT laws to protect labor from employers
15. Deuteronomy 24:14-15 NIV Do not take advantage of a hired man who is poor and needy, whether he is a brother Israelite or an alien living in one of your towns. (15) Pay him his wages each day before sunset, because he is poor and is counting on it. Otherwise he may cry to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.

19. The wealthy think they can do whatever they want James 2:6 NIV But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?
20. When Watergate is mentioned,nobody thinks of a beautiful hotel An ugly episode in American history Perjury, obstruction of justice, manipulation of laws & resignation of the President God gave Israel a system of courts (Deuteronomy 17)
21. Courts were supposed to be fair Not partial to rich or poor (Leviticus 19:15) Perjury was not to be tolerated (Deuteronomy 19:16-21) Bribery & extortion were condemned (Isaiah 33:15)
22. Amos denounced judges who took bribes and “fixed” cases Amos 5:12 NIV …You oppress the righteous and take bribes and you deprive the poor of justice in the courts. Amos 5:15 NIV Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the LORD God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
23. The courts were easy to control if you had enough money Laborers could not afford expensive lawsuits, so they were beaten down every time They were right, but they couldn’t get justice James 5:6 NIV You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you. “Murder” is probably figurative Poor did not oppose rich because it was futile All he could do was call on the Lord for justice

James 5:5 NIV You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.
25. It is wrong to store up wealth when you owe wages These were hoarding grain, gold & garments Thought selves rich because of possessions Not laying up treasures in heaven by using their wealth for God’s glory (Matthew 6:19) Rather, selfishly guarding it for themselves Ten years later, Jerusalem fell to the Romans & all this accumulated wealth was taken
26. They kept others from benefiting from it James 5:4 NIV Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.
27. The rich had robbed the poor by fraud They were not living on their own money Using laborers’ money they should’ve paid Should have seen selves as stewards 1 Corinthians 4:2 NIV Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.

(2) Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. (3) Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. (4) Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.

33. It is a mistake to think there is security in wealth 1 Timothy 6:17 NIV Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 1 Timothy 6:10 NIV For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
34.
35. Their wealth will testify against them James 5:3 NIV Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.
36. Money talks! Stolen salaries cry out to God for justice God heard Abel’s blood cry out from the ground (Genesis 4:10) He hears this stolen money cry out, too Deuteronomy 24:14-15 NIV Do not take advantage of a hired man who is poor and needy, whether he is a brother Israelite or an alien living in one of your towns. (15) Pay him his wages each day before sunset, because he is poor and is counting on it. Otherwise he may cry to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.

38.
39. It is possible to be poor in this world & rich in the next James 2:5 NIV Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? It is also possible to be rich in this world & poor in the next 1 Timothy 6:17 NIV Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

41. What we keep, we lose; what we give to God, we keep with interest! A long-winded preacher was asked to give the annual “charity sermon” for the poor It was suggested that if he preached too long, the congregation might not give as much as they should
42. The preacher read his text Proverbs 19:17 NIV He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done. His sermon was brief: “If you like the terms, then put down your money.”
