Sweet Antinomianism

I. Those with the antinomian mindset not only try and set Law and Grace as opposing opposites, they set Law and the Gospel as opposing opposites too

A. Let us look at the definition of antinomianism again

24

Sweet Antinomianism

Def: Antinomianism (from the Greek αnτι, "against" + nομος, "law"), or lawlessness in theology, is the idea that members of a particular religious group are under no obligation to obey the laws of ethics or morality as presented by religious authorities

25

Sweet Antinomianism

B. SA is given out as kind and loving

26

Sweet Antinomianism

C. Look at how the bad old Law is juxtaposed to kind loving Gospel

1. The Law says: Do and thou shalt live

2. The Gospel says: Live and thou shalt do

a. How will just living have you “do” anything?

27

Sweet Antinomianism

3. How many Believers live an upright life, but never “do” anything for the Kingdom of GOD?

4. If you share the Gospel, you ARE doing something – it is called evangelism

5. When you donate food or clothing to the poor, you ARE doing something – it is called benevolence

28

Sweet Antinomianism

6. What is being misunderstood is that the “doing” for the Kingdom of GOD has NEVER engendered salvation or righteousness to anyone.

7. Adam, Noah, Enoch, Abraham, David and all the O/T saints received salvation by repentance of sins by the Grace of GOD, looking forward to the Cross

29

Sweet Antinomianism

D. Look at how the bad old Law is juxtaposed to kind loving Gospel in the next saying

1. The Law says: Pay what thou owest

2. The Gospel says: I freely forgive thee all

30

Sweet Antinomianism

3. The error here is again putting two different things together; spiritual and physical

4. When the Law says pay what you owe, it is talking about physical debts

a. If you borrow money or defraud someone, you must repay the physical debt before GOD will “Freely” forgive you spiritual debt

5. The Gospel says that our sins are freely forgiven; out spiritual debt is paid by the Cross (not your physical home mortgage).

31

Sweet Antinomianism

E. Look at how the bad old Law is juxtaposed to kind loving Gospel in the third saying

1. The Law says: Do

2. The Gospel says: Done

3. The “Do: of the Law concerns physical acts of right actions AFTER salvation; since acts can never give you salvation

4. The “Done” of the Gospel is the work on the Cross for forgiveness of sins

32

Sweet Antinomianism

F. Look at how the bad old Law is juxtaposed to the kind loving Gospel in the fourth saying

1. The Law says: The wages of sin is death

2. The Gospel says: The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

3. Are not the wages of sin still death today? The Cross did not change sin to not-sin; it gave a way for forgiveness of sin when one repents

33

Sweet Antinomianism

G. The whole point of SA is to say the Law has been done away with by Jesus

H. They will never admit that it was the Son part of GOD that gave the Law to Moses on Mt Sinai

J. They will never admit that a perfect GOD could not give anything else but a perfect Law

34

Sweet Antinomianism

K. What does the Word of GOD say concerning the Law?

Psalms 19:7-8

7 The Law of the LORD is perfect , converting the soul; The Testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;

8 The Statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The Commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;

NKJV

35

Sweet Antinomianism

L. What did Saul/Paul say about the Law in the N/T?

Romans 7:1212 Therefore the Law is holy, and

the Commandments holy and just and good .

NKJV

36

Sweet Antinomianism

II. Not even one Law of GOD was “done away with” on the Cross

A. The Cross was NOT about annulling the Law, it was about paying the debt for the sins of us all

Isaiah 53:5But He was wounded for our

transgressions , He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

NKJV

37

Sweet Antinomianism

B. If the Law was done away with, there would be no need for the Cross

1. If you did away with the Law, the wages of sin would NOT be spiritual death

2. If you do away with the Law, there would be no sinners – for the Law defines what is or what is not sin in GOD’s eyes.

38

Sweet Antinomianism

3. The Law does not make people sin; it is there to describe what is sin so that you know what is required of you by GOD.

4. When we do sin, we have a way to remove the sin penalty: repentance and turning from sin actuates GOD’s Grace because of the sin debt being paid on the Cross by Messiah Jesus.

39

Sweet Antinomianism

40

Sweet Antinomianism

C. Is it really a choice between “Religion or Relationship” comparing the O/T and the N/T?

1. It seems to me that Enoch had “Relationship” in the O/T

Genesis 5:24And Enoch walked with God ; and

he was not, for God took him. NKJV

41

Sweet Antinomianism

D. It seems to me that Abraham had “Relationship” with GOD in the O/T.

Isaiah 41:8

"But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend .

NKJV

42

Sweet Antinomianism

E. It seems to me that Daniel, Noah and Job had a “Relationship” with GOD in the O/T

Ezekiel 14:14Even if these three men , Noah,

Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness," says the Lord GOD.

NKJV43

Sweet Antinomianism

1. These three men are those chosen by GOD to be examples of righteous men

2. That is relationship, not formal religion

44

Sweet Antinomianism

45

Sweet Antinomianism

II. The “Hard Way” or “GOD’s Way”?

A. The Law was and is GOD’s Way

B. This antinomian cliché is trying to insinuate that the Law was not GOD’s Way!

C. The Way of the Cross IS a yoke; but through Messiah it is an easy yoke

D. However the yoke still exists

46

Sweet Antinomianism

Matthew 11:30For My yoke is easy and My

burden is light." NKJV

The Hebrew Gospel of Matthew says:

“Because my yoke is soft and my burden is easy.”

47

Sweet Antinomianism

III. Separating Salvation from Rewards

A. In Greek think it is: either A or B

B. In Hebrew think it is: both A and B

48

Sweet Antinomianism

C. There are no physical actions we can take that will earn us salvation

1. Salvation only comes by repentance and turning from sin by the power of GOD’s Grace

3. Grace gets you to heaven

2. But Grace issues no rewards in heaven

49

Sweet Antinomianism

D. Our rewards in heaven are given to us by virtue of our righteous works for GOD on this earth

1. So good works have nothing to do with salvation

2. Good works have everything to do with rewards

50

Sweet Antinomianism

E. That good works (not dead works) equals rewards is quite clear

Matthew 16:27For the Son of Man will come in

the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works .

NKJV

51

Sweet Antinomianism

F. Don’t lose your “good works” credits

Matthew 6:1"Take heed that you do not do

your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.

NKJV

52

Sweet Antinomianism

G. If you lose your salvation, all the rewards for your prior good works are lost

2 John 1:8Look to yourselves, that we do not

lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward .

NKJV53

Sweet Antinomianism

Ezekiel 18:24"But when a righteous man turns

away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die.

(NKJ)54

Sweet Antinomianism

H. Rewards are given to those who belong to Messiah Jesus

Mark 9:41For whoever gives you a cup of

water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward .

NKJV

55

Sweet Antinomianism

J. Your good works show forth that you are working for the Kingdom of GOD

John 5:36But I have greater witness than

that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

(KJV)56

Sweet Antinomianism

1. Since we are to pattern ourselves after our LORD: He did good work – so should we do good works

Matthew 25:38-4038 When did we see you a stranger and

invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?

39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

40 "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

(NIV)57

Sweet Antinomianism

K. The Apostle James tells how it is

James 2:19-2019 Are there still some among you

who hold that "only believing" is enough? Believing in one God? Well, remember that the demons believe this too-- so strongly that they tremble in terror!

20 Fool! When will you ever learn that "believing" is useless without doing what God wants you to? Faith that does not result in good deeds is not real faith.

(TLB)58

Sweet Antinomianism

L. Do not confuse the Grace of Salvation with your Rewards you will receive by your Good Works.

M. Good Works can never merit us with Salvation

N. IF we are truly Saved, our life will show that by the Good Works we do for the LORD.

59

Sweet Antinomianism

IV. List of some Good Works – rewarded if done with the right motive

A. Feeding and clothing the poor

B. Acts of kindness

C. Praying for the sick

D. Extending compassion for the bereaved

E. Treating our brothers and sisters in the LORD with love and dignity

F. Helping widows and orphans

60

Sweet Antinomianism

Luke 6:35"But love your enemies, do good,

and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.
