00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.520
 Joy to proclaim this to you.

00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:06.000
 I want to read a bigger passage, verses 3-14 first,

00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:12.720
! And then we'll zero in on our sermon passage for today, which is only verses 6-10.

00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:15.759
! Hear the Word of God.

00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:24.960
 It says, inspired, inerrant, infallible, clear, sufficient, powerful word for you and me, his people.

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.199
 Ephesians 1, starting at verse 3.

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:41.780
 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:54.200
 just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.

00:00:54.200 --> 00:01:06.180
 In love, he predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:12.980
 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he made us accepted in the Beloved.

00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:23.180
 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace,

00:01:23.180 --> 00:01:32.560
 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of his will,

00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:37.700
 according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in himself,

00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:46.260
 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times, he might gather together in one all things in Christ,

00:01:46.260 --> 00:01:52.020
 both which are in heaven and which are on earth in him.

00:01:52.019 --> 00:02:02.699
 In him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things,

00:02:02.819 --> 00:02:10.960
 according to the counsel of his will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of his glory.

00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:18.500
 In him you also trusted after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation,

00:02:18.500 --> 00:02:24.319
 in whom also having believed you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:34.460
 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession to the praise of his glory.

00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:36.860
 The word of God for the people of God.

00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:40.480
 Thanks be to God. Please be seated.

00:02:40.960 --> 00:03:04.540
 Oh Lord, we rest in the promise that Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, lives to intercede for his people.

00:03:04.539 --> 00:03:13.000
 We rest on the promise, Lord, that through his churches, his word, his gospel goes forth.

00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.459
 And by the ministry of the Holy Spirit, it works with power.

00:03:18.079 --> 00:03:25.979
 Lord, we pray along with Christ that his word will work powerfully in his people today.

00:03:25.979 --> 00:03:55.979
 Lord, you may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may

00:03:55.979 --> 00:04:02.199
 That your Holy Spirit will cause those who are blind to see Jesus.

00:04:02.859 --> 00:04:07.239
 Those who are deaf to hear the good news for themselves.

00:04:08.079 --> 00:04:12.599
 Those who are in slavery, Lord, to send captive in bondage.

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:17.079
 That the gospel of Jesus will work with power and set them free.

00:04:18.339 --> 00:04:23.099
 Those who are orphans, hopeless in this world.

00:04:23.100 --> 00:04:30.939
 Lord, in darkness, Lord, that your Holy Spirit will draw in Christ to yourself, into your family.

00:04:31.500 --> 00:04:36.400
 Please do this, Lord, for his precious namesake, for your glory. Amen.

00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:36.539
 Amen.

00:04:48.739 --> 00:04:52.959
 There is a love that is so deep.

00:04:54.060 --> 00:04:56.000
 Words can't explain it.

00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:03.339
 There is a love that you feel that can only come from heaven.

00:05:03.339 --> 00:05:06.639
 Do you know this love I'm speaking of?

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.519
 There are times where God's people are moved to tears.

00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.639
 With a love from God, a love from Christ.

00:05:18.919 --> 00:05:23.379
 And I know it's from heaven because it would make no sense according to our flesh.

00:05:23.579 --> 00:05:25.079
 No sense according to the world.

00:05:26.259 --> 00:05:30.439
 There are times when the Lord will so stir the hearts of his people for one another.

00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:35.360
 And it's because God so much loves his people that way.

00:05:36.899 --> 00:05:42.439
 Some of us have known this love even thinking of our missionaries or reading a report from one of them.

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.860
 Some of you, you've told me, you've been moved to tears this week.

00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:49.220
 Out of love for one another.

00:05:49.540 --> 00:05:51.839
 Concern for one another within the body of Christ.

00:05:51.839 --> 00:06:00.039
 This is the love that is put on display in the person of Jesus Christ in this passage.

00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.699
 Our focus is verses six through ten.

00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.599
 Notice how how our focus now moves from God the Father.

00:06:11.059 --> 00:06:13.439
 Up to verse six to God the Son.

00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.959
 And look with me one more time at verse six.

00:06:17.740 --> 00:06:19.879
 How God the Son is described.

00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:30.579
 Up to verse six, we're told that God the Father chose us in him, in Jesus Christ, before the foundation of the world.

00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.220
 He predestined us to be adopted in Jesus Christ.

00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.480
 Verse six, why did he do this?

00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:42.280
 It's to the praise of the glory of his grace by which he made us accepted.

00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:45.780
 Notice how he calls God the Son.

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.140
 In the beloved.

00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.840
 Jesus Christ, the beloved, is our great focus for today.

00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:05.739
 And in these verses six through ten, Paul gives us at least four reasons why we can praise God through Jesus Christ.

00:07:06.239 --> 00:07:10.579
 I'd like to walk us through these one by one today, starting right here on verse six.

00:07:11.479 --> 00:07:15.719
 Praise the beloved in whom God accepts you.

00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.959
 Praise the beloved in whom God accepts you.

00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:27.060
 You may be wondering if you really are accepted by God today.

00:07:28.979 --> 00:07:35.779
 On the other hand, we may have a false sense that we are accepted by God when we have no right to claim that.

00:07:37.779 --> 00:07:42.439
 Satan has these these two lies that are really stemming from the same deception.

00:07:43.179 --> 00:07:44.879
 The first lie is this.

00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.819
 God can never accept me because fill in the blank.

00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:50.859
 About me.

00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:53.899
 But here's the second lie.

00:07:54.859 --> 00:07:58.299
 You might think, of course, God accepts me because blank.

00:07:58.539 --> 00:07:59.299
 About me.

00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.099
 Both of these lies are from hell.

00:08:06.259 --> 00:08:09.120
 And both are deceiving us with the same trick.

00:08:10.459 --> 00:08:13.599
 They deceive because they begin with a faulty premise.

00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:22.280
 The premise is this, that your life, whether you're focused on what you think is good or what you think is so bad,

00:08:22.620 --> 00:08:26.420
 is what determines your acceptance by God.

00:08:26.960 --> 00:08:36.180
 This way of thinking is robbing the beloved of God, Jesus Christ, of the glory that he deserves instead of you and me.

00:08:36.179 --> 00:08:38.879
 Look at verse six one more time.

00:08:39.659 --> 00:08:43.779
 God made us accepted on what basis?

00:08:44.719 --> 00:08:46.459
 What are the next three words in yours?

00:08:46.839 --> 00:08:50.579
 He made us accepted in the beloved.

00:08:50.580 --> 00:08:54.620
 Beloved to the praise of the glory of his grace.

00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.120
 Well, let's focus on that for a moment.

00:08:59.160 --> 00:09:01.720
 How is this something for which we are to praise God?

00:09:03.220 --> 00:09:12.259
 That we are to praise God, focused on the person of Jesus Christ, because we are accepted in him whom God calls the beloved.

00:09:12.259 --> 00:09:15.100
 So God is the lover.

00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.439
 Christ is the recipient of God's love.

00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.980
 The one from whom love flows is God.

00:09:23.220 --> 00:09:28.960
 And that's because the Bible tells us in first John 416, God is love.

00:09:30.179 --> 00:09:36.179
 God is so loving, so holy, so pure that he cannot love that which is evil.

00:09:36.179 --> 00:09:44.359
 In a sweeping way, the object of God's love is and can only be the holy God himself.

00:09:45.419 --> 00:09:53.719
 But from this verse, we can see in a particular way, the object of God, the father's love is and can only be God, the son.

00:09:55.939 --> 00:09:59.399
 This is how God, the son is described throughout all of scripture.

00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.000
 It's prophesied in Isaiah 41 one.

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:06.320
 We know this speaks of Christ because it's quoted in Matthew 12, 18.

00:10:06.899 --> 00:10:16.860
 God says, behold, my servant whom I uphold, my elect one in whom my soul delights.

00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:24.299
 The servant, God, the son is the one in whom God delights in his soul, so to speak.

00:10:24.299 --> 00:10:36.120
 Because God is infinite and holy, he can only rightly love a recipient of his love who is perfectly pure.

00:10:36.659 --> 00:10:38.419
 God can't love what is evil.

00:10:38.620 --> 00:10:39.819
 God can't love what is sinful.

00:10:40.339 --> 00:10:46.979
 So from all eternity, the perfect object of the father's delight is God, the son, his beloved.

00:10:46.980 --> 00:10:57.659
 Notice how when God, the son takes on flesh, this is exactly how the voice from heaven, the voice of God confirms him in his ministry.

00:10:58.379 --> 00:11:09.680
 At his baptism, God confirms that this man now, Christ Jesus of Nazareth, is the son of God in the flesh, the beloved of God.

00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:15.599
 Can you picture that scene there in the brown waters of the Jordan River?

00:11:16.899 --> 00:11:22.739
 The beloved of God in the flesh is prepared to serve as the great high priest.

00:11:22.939 --> 00:11:32.699
 And in Matthew 3, God's voice comes from heaven saying, this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.

00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:42.660
 Then at the transfiguration, God confirms that this man, Christ Jesus of Nazareth, is God, the son in the flesh, the beloved of God.

00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:54.580
 There at Mount Tabor, God gives the authority of Christ as the perfect prophet who alone can reveal God's wisdom in its full brilliance.

00:11:54.580 --> 00:12:11.320
 Matthew 17, Matthew 17, the voice of God declares, behold, and with a bright cloud overshadowing them, the voice comes out of the cloud saying, this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.

00:12:11.780 --> 00:12:12.740
 Hear him.

00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.620
 So he's washed by the water to prepare him to serve as a priest.

00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.820
 And now he's declared, this is my beloved.

00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:20.800
 Hear him.

00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:21.940
 He will serve as a prophet.

00:12:21.940 --> 00:12:30.480
 And the Holy Spirit confirms that this same man, Christ Jesus of Nazareth, is God, the son in the flesh, the beloved of God.

00:12:31.280 --> 00:12:45.640
 And summing up his completed ministry, now sitting at the right hand of God, the father in John 335, we are told that the father loves the son and has given all things into his hand.

00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.699
 This is language of a king.

00:12:48.699 --> 00:12:52.379
 All things given to Christ who rules from authority.

00:12:52.379 --> 00:13:10.500
 We are to praise God through Jesus Christ, who from his baptism as our priest, his transfiguration as our prophet, and now in his heavenly exaltation, he reigns as the king of kings.

00:13:10.500 --> 00:13:17.679
 He stands as the only mediator who can carry God's love perfectly.

00:13:19.139 --> 00:13:19.820
 Unblemished.

00:13:20.340 --> 00:13:21.940
 The worthy recipient.

00:13:22.820 --> 00:13:24.960
 The beloved of the holy God.

00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:31.780
 And the good news of our passage, praise the glory of God's grace.

00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:35.800
 It's through Christ that we have been made accepted.

00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:36.160
 How?

00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:37.440
 In Christ.

00:13:38.500 --> 00:13:49.900
 The love that God has for Jesus Christ, his beloved, is now that same love coming with all the force of God on you, his people who are in him.

00:13:49.899 --> 00:14:10.639
 And this thought that the holy God who elected and predestined his church is is now viewing his people, you and me, blamelessly embraced, welcomed, accepted in the beloved before the face of the holy God.

00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:21.600
 With that thought at the end of verse six, it's like like popping off the cork of the next overflow of praise that comes from Paul's pen.

00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:26.960
 The next focus of doxology is is how this can be so.

00:14:27.059 --> 00:14:32.679
 How can you and me be found accepted in his beloved and Jesus Christ?

00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:36.739
 And so he overflows into verse seven in him.

00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:46.479
 We have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.

00:14:46.839 --> 00:14:50.639
 Let's open up each of these phrases before we do.

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:54.459
 Put the first pin there on verse six.

00:14:54.460 --> 00:15:04.660
 Our first reason to praise God through the person of Jesus Christ, the beloved, is because it's in him that God accepts you and me.

00:15:05.780 --> 00:15:09.180
 Praise the beloved in whom God accepts you.

00:15:09.780 --> 00:15:12.600
 Now, here comes the second reason, starting at verse seven.

00:15:13.420 --> 00:15:17.519
 Praise the beloved in whom we have redemption.

00:15:18.680 --> 00:15:21.780
 Praise the beloved in whom we have redemption.

00:15:21.779 --> 00:15:30.519
 Verse seven calls Jesus Christ, the beloved, the one in whom we have redemption through his blood.

00:15:31.199 --> 00:15:36.620
 The word redemption, it can also be translated in English as deliverance.

00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:40.860
 It means to buy something back or to ransom something.

00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.959
 In these ancient times, you can picture the marketplace in Ephesus.

00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:54.240
 You would go to buy not just something made by goldsmith, not not just something that you could take back and use within your home as a vessel.

00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.420
 You could go and buy a human being, a slave.

00:15:57.820 --> 00:15:59.420
 But first, you have to ransom them.

00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:02.920
 You have to pay the price that the slave owner demands.

00:16:04.820 --> 00:16:06.259
 To ransom something.

00:16:06.540 --> 00:16:09.460
 It means to to move their status.

00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:13.019
 They were in captivity and bondage, but now they've been moved.

00:16:13.019 --> 00:16:14.799
 They are now under new ownership.

00:16:15.779 --> 00:16:19.799
 Their status is no longer in bondage to that slave master.

00:16:21.419 --> 00:16:24.819
 And he says we have redemption through his blood.

00:16:25.439 --> 00:16:27.579
 The forgiveness of sins.

00:16:28.199 --> 00:16:29.960
 That's what we're delivered from.

00:16:30.340 --> 00:16:32.620
 That's what we're redeemed out of.

00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:35.799
 It's both the guilt and the power of sin.

00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:35.879
 Sin.

00:16:37.959 --> 00:16:41.799
 This passage tells us in verse seven that sin is bondage.

00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.240
 Do you know that sin is bondage?

00:16:47.539 --> 00:16:50.179
 Every Christian is saying, at least in your heart, amen.

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.259
 May I never have to go back to that again.

00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:56.799
 Sin is bondage.

00:16:58.019 --> 00:16:58.899
 Sin is slavery.

00:16:58.899 --> 00:17:05.779
 Psalm 107.10 says, because we rebelled against the words of God.

00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:07.859
 That's what sin is.

00:17:08.420 --> 00:17:10.900
 Because we rebelled against the word of God.

00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:13.740
 We sat in darkness, in the shadow of death.

00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:15.019
 Bound.

00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:16.319
 Tied up.

00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:17.119
 Chained down.

00:17:17.779 --> 00:17:18.619
 In affliction.

00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:20.440
 As with iron.

00:17:22.900 --> 00:17:25.500
 Through Micah, chapter 6, verse 4.

00:17:25.500 --> 00:17:26.720
 God has promised.

00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:31.440
 I buy back and bring up my people from slavery.

00:17:31.900 --> 00:17:34.079
 He points to the story of the Exodus.

00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:37.900
 How the nation of Israel was in captivity to Egypt.

00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:43.279
 And the Lord himself redeemed them from that house of bondage.

00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:44.740
 This is the language.

00:17:44.859 --> 00:17:47.200
 He's speaking to Jews mixed with Greeks.

00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:52.819
 And he's bringing the weight of the Old Testament to bear on what Christ accomplished as redeemer.

00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:54.200
 As deliverer.

00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:56.779
 In the beloved, Paul is preaching.

00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:59.039
 In Jesus Christ, we have redemption.

00:17:59.660 --> 00:18:01.019
 We have deliverance.

00:18:02.120 --> 00:18:04.100
 And it's through his blood.

00:18:06.299 --> 00:18:10.019
 Redemption means we are emancipated from slavery.

00:18:11.299 --> 00:18:14.279
 Redemption means we are released from captivity.

00:18:15.580 --> 00:18:19.519
 Redemption means we are ransomed from bondage.

00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:20.519
 Redemption means we are released from slavery.

00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:21.599
 In verse 7.

00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:23.599
 We have redemption through his blood.

00:18:23.819 --> 00:18:25.160
 The blood of Jesus Christ.

00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:26.720
 The beloved of God.

00:18:27.859 --> 00:18:29.480
 The forgiveness of sins.

00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:34.019
 Do you know this forgiveness of sins?

00:18:36.420 --> 00:18:41.119
 Our sin problem is most likely deeper and worse than we understand.

00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:44.539
 We are born in sin.

00:18:46.699 --> 00:18:51.179
 We are guilty of sin even inside the womb of your mother.

00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:56.660
 And we are born carrying this curse of sin from Adam in the fall.

00:18:56.660 --> 00:19:02.980
 And on top of that, every inclination of our own hearts is away from God.

00:19:03.259 --> 00:19:04.100
 It's toward evil.

00:19:05.540 --> 00:19:09.300
 The problem of sin, the bondage of sin is so pervasive.

00:19:09.299 --> 00:19:14.200
 The wages of your sin and mine are death.

00:19:15.059 --> 00:19:20.839
 What we deserve for our sin is for the blood to be let out of our bodies.

00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:25.599
 Until there is no more life in that vessel of your body and mine.

00:19:26.919 --> 00:19:31.500
 You and I deserve this because we have sinned against the holy God.

00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:38.960
 And God, in his righteousness, cannot justly pass over your sin and mine.

00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:44.259
 The price that we owe God must be paid in order for us to be ransomed.

00:19:45.819 --> 00:19:48.740
 The problem for us is worse than that, though.

00:19:49.700 --> 00:19:55.720
 Even if we were to pay for our sin with our own lives by dying for our sin,

00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:00.779
 we still have failed to merit the eternal life.

00:20:01.339 --> 00:20:04.220
 Because God not only must punish sin,

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:09.220
 he must also have a people clothed in perfect righteousness.

00:20:09.299 --> 00:20:15.639
 And none of us born under Adam's curse are capable of living a righteous life.

00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:22.359
 We cannot buy everlasting life for ourselves.

00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:31.639
 God requires a sinless savior who will then also pay the penalty that sin deserves.

00:20:31.640 --> 00:21:01.640
 None may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may

00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:08.560
 gracious he abounds in his mercy and he's pleased to declare what he has purpose to do all along in

00:21:08.560 --> 00:21:16.100
 isaiah 61 1 which is we know it speaks of christ it's in it's called forth in luke 4 18 we're told

00:21:16.100 --> 00:21:24.340
 the spirit of the lord has anointed me that servant that god prepared to preach good tidings to the

00:21:24.340 --> 00:21:31.580
 poor he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening

00:21:31.579 --> 00:21:38.359
 of the prison to those who are bound this is the mission of god the son the beloved

00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:47.319
 it's to do what no man could do how is it that god the son the beloved accomplished this great plan

00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:56.839
 of redemption that god prepared all along it's through his own life in the flesh and his blood

00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:59.299
 shed for his people

00:21:59.299 --> 00:22:05.500
 it's one thing if you have to see yourself bleed

00:22:05.500 --> 00:22:13.559
 uh emergency nurse told us some people have a real phobia of blood but others have a real phobia

00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:19.419
 of needles and the two are not the same she said her boyfriend works as a police officer and he sees

00:22:19.420 --> 00:22:26.560
 blood a lot it doesn't bother him but when he sees a needle he he gets wheezy to see your own blood is is

00:22:26.560 --> 00:22:27.519
 one thing but now

00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:37.860
 to see one of your loved ones bleeding that's a whole different thing isn't it to see a loved one

00:22:37.859 --> 00:22:46.319
 it's a horrible thought but i do invite you to go there because this is the gospel it's a bloody gospel

00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:55.199
 because we need this i mean picture your beloved losing blood hemorrhaging unstoppably

00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:58.100
 to the point of death

00:22:58.100 --> 00:23:15.160
 first peter 1 18 and 19 says you church you have been redeemed not with corruptible things

00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:23.279
 but with the blood the precious blood of christ

00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:28.120
 as a lamb without blemish

00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:32.920
 you see jesus christ the beloved of god

00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:39.960
 lived a life that was sinless faultless righteous which god can bless and promise to bless

00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:50.279
 and secure eternal life because of his obedience and jesus christ the beloved of god bled out

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:55.799
 before the face of god on the cross

00:23:55.799 --> 00:24:03.840
 for the forgiveness of sins of his people this is the gospel

00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:10.159
 you and i need the blood of jesus christ

00:24:10.159 --> 00:24:17.819
 he has redeemed us with the precious blood of his beloved

00:24:17.819 --> 00:24:25.299
 if you're sitting there wondering was his blood for me

00:24:25.299 --> 00:24:29.359
 did he purchase me with this precious blood

00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:33.159
 we need to ask this question looking at our passage

00:24:33.159 --> 00:24:36.299
 who is it that jesus christ ransomed

00:24:36.299 --> 00:24:38.399
 who is it that he redeemed

00:24:38.399 --> 00:24:42.019
 look at our passage starting

00:24:42.019 --> 00:24:44.579
 at verse 3

00:24:44.579 --> 00:24:49.119
 he's writing to a local church

00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:51.179
 gathered hearing the word of god

00:24:51.179 --> 00:24:52.819
 and he says you

00:24:52.819 --> 00:24:55.339
 are blessed with every spiritual blessing

00:24:55.339 --> 00:24:57.819
 in verse 4 he tells the same

00:24:57.819 --> 00:25:00.259
 people you were chosen

00:25:00.259 --> 00:25:02.720
 in christ before the foundation of the world

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:04.899
 in verse 5 you were predestined

00:25:04.899 --> 00:25:06.659
 to be adopted

00:25:06.659 --> 00:25:07.559
 by him

00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:10.559
 in verse 6 it's you

00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:13.859
 you same ones who were accepted by him

00:25:13.859 --> 00:25:16.759
 now verse 7 it's

00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:18.379
 the audience has not changed

00:25:18.379 --> 00:25:20.960
 the recipients of god's grace

00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:22.220
 have not changed

00:25:22.220 --> 00:25:23.960
 it's those same people

00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:26.079
 that christ has redeemed

00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:28.619
 it's the one that he has

00:25:28.619 --> 00:25:29.720
 loved

00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:31.879
 before time and space began

00:25:31.879 --> 00:25:32.960
 in christ

00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:34.919
 this is who christ

00:25:34.919 --> 00:25:36.119
 has ransomed

00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:40.559
 it was helpful for me in preparing to picture

00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:43.859
 myself at that marketplace in ephesus

00:25:43.859 --> 00:25:46.179
 and here's a row of slaves

00:25:46.179 --> 00:25:47.659
 and i'm one of them

00:25:47.659 --> 00:25:49.559
 i'm chained up

00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:50.679
 and i'm standing there

00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:53.000
 and the slave traders

00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:54.360
 would would show the teeth

00:25:54.360 --> 00:25:55.660
 i mean they treat human beings

00:25:55.660 --> 00:25:56.940
 like like a horse

00:25:56.940 --> 00:25:59.140
 you know test your strength

00:25:59.140 --> 00:26:03.460
 we're told that christ

00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:05.640
 actually ransomed

00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.039
 from that row of captives

00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:09.620
 those whom he loved

00:26:09.620 --> 00:26:12.220
 those whom he predestined

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:13.000
 to be adopted

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:17.240
 actually purchased them

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:18.039
 with his blood

00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:21.539
 if you put your faith

00:26:21.539 --> 00:26:22.819
 in jesus christ today

00:26:22.819 --> 00:26:23.920
 you don't need to wonder

00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:25.400
 if you're the ones

00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:26.819
 that he has done this

00:26:26.819 --> 00:26:27.440
 for

00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:28.339
 that he's purchased

00:26:28.339 --> 00:26:29.120
 that he's claimed

00:26:29.120 --> 00:26:30.940
 you trust in him

00:26:30.940 --> 00:26:32.200
 because he purchased you

00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:33.319
 with his precious blood

00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:35.460
 he took you off of that row

00:26:35.460 --> 00:26:36.120
 and said

00:26:36.120 --> 00:26:36.660
 this one

00:26:36.660 --> 00:26:38.019
 is my child

00:26:38.019 --> 00:26:40.279
 i clothe this one

00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:41.420
 with my own robes

00:26:41.420 --> 00:26:43.200
 this one belongs to me

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:46.380
 see when we preach

00:26:46.380 --> 00:26:46.980
 the redemption

00:26:46.980 --> 00:26:48.039
 of jesus christ

00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:49.180
 by his blood

00:26:49.180 --> 00:26:51.580
 this can be taken

00:26:51.580 --> 00:26:52.840
 in three different ways

00:26:52.840 --> 00:26:53.900
 but only one fits

00:26:53.900 --> 00:26:55.340
 with what the bible teaches

00:26:55.340 --> 00:26:56.819
 the first way

00:26:56.819 --> 00:26:57.740
 that does not fit

00:26:57.740 --> 00:26:58.279
 is to say

00:26:58.279 --> 00:26:59.340
 that the blood of christ

00:26:59.340 --> 00:26:59.940
 was shed

00:26:59.940 --> 00:27:01.519
 to save

00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:02.940
 all human beings

00:27:02.940 --> 00:27:03.660
 universally

00:27:03.660 --> 00:27:05.860
 this is a false

00:27:05.860 --> 00:27:06.819
 gospel

00:27:06.819 --> 00:27:07.559
 it's a lie

00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:09.840
 to say that

00:27:09.840 --> 00:27:12.120
 love wins in the end

00:27:12.120 --> 00:27:12.360
 you know

00:27:12.360 --> 00:27:12.960
 in other words

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:13.660
 no one

00:27:13.660 --> 00:27:14.700
 will receive

00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:15.220
 the wrath

00:27:15.220 --> 00:27:15.900
 and the judgment

00:27:15.900 --> 00:27:16.980
 that they deserve

00:27:16.980 --> 00:27:17.579
 for their sins

00:27:17.579 --> 00:27:18.720
 outside of christ

00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:19.759
 they'll still be forgiven

00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:21.559
 there is no forgiveness

00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:23.500
 outside of jesus christ

00:27:23.500 --> 00:27:27.380
 that's universal redemption

00:27:27.380 --> 00:27:28.160
 that's false

00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:29.620
 the bible does not teach that

00:27:29.620 --> 00:27:31.240
 we need to shut it down

00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:33.120
 the second option

00:27:33.120 --> 00:27:33.640
 is called

00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:34.700
 hypothetical

00:27:34.700 --> 00:27:36.559
 universalism

00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:38.960
 and this basically says

00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:40.059
 god didn't actually

00:27:40.059 --> 00:27:40.880
 save anyone

00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:41.519
 by the blood

00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:42.420
 of christ

00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:44.380
 it's like saying

00:27:44.380 --> 00:27:45.580
 he paid the price

00:27:45.580 --> 00:27:46.539
 but he just set it off

00:27:46.539 --> 00:27:47.180
 over here

00:27:47.180 --> 00:27:47.779
 and then whichever

00:27:47.779 --> 00:27:48.700
 ones of these slaves

00:27:48.700 --> 00:27:49.320
 want to come over

00:27:49.320 --> 00:27:50.160
 and take the ransom

00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:50.920
 price

00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:51.960
 then they can be free

00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:53.600
 that means he didn't

00:27:53.600 --> 00:27:54.539
 actually ransom

00:27:54.539 --> 00:27:56.820
 those people that he loved

00:27:56.820 --> 00:27:58.220
 before the foundation

00:27:58.220 --> 00:27:58.740
 of the world

00:27:58.740 --> 00:27:59.440
 he didn't really

00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:00.380
 redeem anything

00:28:00.380 --> 00:28:01.600
 with his blood

00:28:01.600 --> 00:28:02.920
 he just hypothetically

00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:04.060
 made it available

00:28:04.060 --> 00:28:04.720
 if you want to come

00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:05.240
 grab it

00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:07.080
 that does not fit

00:28:07.080 --> 00:28:08.019
 what the bible teaches

00:28:08.019 --> 00:28:10.180
 what the bible teaches

00:28:10.180 --> 00:28:11.240
 is definite

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:12.539
 redemption

00:28:12.539 --> 00:28:14.339
 definite

00:28:14.339 --> 00:28:16.139
 atonement

00:28:16.139 --> 00:28:18.000
 the blood of christ

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:19.559
 actually purchased

00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:20.339
 you

00:28:20.339 --> 00:28:22.500
 who trusted in him

00:28:22.500 --> 00:28:24.480
 you are redeemed

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:27.839
 this made me want to study

00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:29.680
 this wording very carefully

00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:31.019
 in verse 7 he says

00:28:31.019 --> 00:28:32.579
 we have

00:28:32.579 --> 00:28:33.019
 redemption

00:28:33.019 --> 00:28:33.579
 redemption

00:28:33.579 --> 00:28:36.160
 we have redemption

00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:37.220
 that verb

00:28:37.220 --> 00:28:38.000
 to have

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:39.299
 to have

00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:39.660
 it can

00:28:39.660 --> 00:28:40.819
 it can be translated

00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:42.319
 in the three most common ways

00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:42.980
 throughout all the

00:28:42.980 --> 00:28:43.779
 new testament

00:28:43.779 --> 00:28:45.220
 it can mean to

00:28:45.220 --> 00:28:46.259
 hold something

00:28:46.259 --> 00:28:47.639
 you actually hold

00:28:47.639 --> 00:28:48.180
 this redemption

00:28:48.180 --> 00:28:49.559
 it can mean to

00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:50.420
 count

00:28:50.420 --> 00:28:51.259
 something

00:28:51.259 --> 00:28:52.799
 i'm counting

00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:54.059
 the exact price

00:28:54.059 --> 00:28:54.879
 he paid

00:28:54.879 --> 00:28:56.700
 and it can mean to

00:28:56.700 --> 00:28:57.960
 wear something

00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:00.379
 to wear this redemption

00:29:00.380 --> 00:29:02.080
 isn't that beautiful

00:29:02.080 --> 00:29:04.280
 this is the relationship

00:29:04.280 --> 00:29:05.400
 between the christian

00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:06.580
 and the redemption

00:29:06.580 --> 00:29:07.480
 that christ purchased

00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:08.280
 with his blood

00:29:08.280 --> 00:29:10.200
 here's how you

00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:11.340
 have it

00:29:11.340 --> 00:29:14.940
 we hold

00:29:14.940 --> 00:29:17.800
 what christ secured

00:29:17.800 --> 00:29:18.380
 for us

00:29:18.380 --> 00:29:19.060
 truly

00:29:19.060 --> 00:29:21.020
 we apprehend this

00:29:21.020 --> 00:29:22.680
 we can have assurance

00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:23.380
 of salvation

00:29:23.380 --> 00:29:23.900
 in christ

00:29:23.900 --> 00:29:25.040
 and the way you hold

00:29:25.040 --> 00:29:25.640
 it is faith

00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:27.620
 not looking to anything

00:29:27.620 --> 00:29:27.860
 else

00:29:27.860 --> 00:29:28.300
 it's my

00:29:28.300 --> 00:29:29.280
 my poor beggars

00:29:29.280 --> 00:29:30.000
 empty hands

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:32.019
 holding christ's promises

00:29:32.019 --> 00:29:32.940
 of redemption

00:29:32.940 --> 00:29:35.059
 we can have this redemption

00:29:35.059 --> 00:29:36.519
 by by counting

00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:37.160
 by seeing

00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:38.339
 his blood

00:29:38.339 --> 00:29:39.059
 and his wisdom

00:29:39.059 --> 00:29:40.480
 is it's perfect

00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:42.279
 he

00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:43.759
 fully paid

00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:45.059
 for all my sin

00:29:45.059 --> 00:29:46.599
 there's nothing left

00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:47.579
 not a penny left

00:29:47.579 --> 00:29:49.059
 i owe him of good works

00:29:49.059 --> 00:29:49.759
 not a

00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:51.180
 not a single ounce

00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:51.839
 of my blood

00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:53.019
 that i need to go shed now

00:29:53.019 --> 00:29:54.460
 i counted

00:29:54.460 --> 00:29:55.440
 and his wisdom

00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:55.980
 is perfect

00:29:55.980 --> 00:29:56.779
 i am redeemed

00:29:56.779 --> 00:29:58.279
 completely by christ

00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:00.000
 and we can wear

00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:00.700
 this redemption

00:30:00.700 --> 00:30:04.180
 i'm a slave there

00:30:04.180 --> 00:30:04.639
 dirty

00:30:04.639 --> 00:30:06.039
 neglected

00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:07.000
 injured

00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:09.420
 he takes me

00:30:09.420 --> 00:30:10.200
 as his child

00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:11.079
 and washes me

00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:12.460
 and heals my wounds

00:30:12.460 --> 00:30:14.180
 and and robes me

00:30:14.180 --> 00:30:15.700
 with his righteousness

00:30:15.700 --> 00:30:18.200
 like that prodigal son

00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:19.000
 i mean jesus told

00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:19.859
 this parable

00:30:19.859 --> 00:30:20.619
 the prodigal son

00:30:20.619 --> 00:30:21.399
 before he even

00:30:21.399 --> 00:30:22.460
 went to accomplish

00:30:22.460 --> 00:30:23.019
 the redemption

00:30:23.019 --> 00:30:23.779
 on the cross

00:30:23.779 --> 00:30:25.339
 and there's the son

00:30:25.339 --> 00:30:26.399
 loved by the father

00:30:26.399 --> 00:30:27.079
 embraced

00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:29.779
 clothed in his righteousness

00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:30.700
 brought home

00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:32.480
 wear this redemption

00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:34.619
 that christ has purchased

00:30:34.619 --> 00:30:35.500
 for you

00:30:35.500 --> 00:30:39.460
 praise the beloved

00:30:39.460 --> 00:30:41.019
 in whom

00:30:41.019 --> 00:30:42.180
 we have

00:30:42.180 --> 00:30:43.099
 redemption

00:30:43.099 --> 00:30:43.920
 amen

00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:46.839
 here's our third reason

00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:47.599
 to praise

00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:48.379
 god the son

00:30:48.379 --> 00:30:49.399
 praise the beloved

00:30:49.399 --> 00:30:50.339
 who reveals

00:30:50.339 --> 00:30:52.099
 god's gracious will

00:30:52.099 --> 00:30:52.980
 toward us

00:30:52.980 --> 00:30:54.559
 praise the beloved

00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:55.859
 who reveals

00:30:55.859 --> 00:30:56.639
 god's gracious

00:30:56.639 --> 00:30:57.359
 will

00:30:57.359 --> 00:30:58.539
 toward us

00:30:58.539 --> 00:31:01.619
 he says in verse 7

00:31:01.619 --> 00:31:03.099
 these are the

00:31:03.099 --> 00:31:04.279
 the riches

00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:05.519
 of his grace

00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:07.059
 which he made to

00:31:07.059 --> 00:31:08.240
 abound

00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:09.259
 toward us

00:31:09.259 --> 00:31:10.379
 other wonderful

00:31:10.379 --> 00:31:11.199
 translation is

00:31:11.199 --> 00:31:12.480
 he lavished

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:13.599
 upon us

00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:16.179
 well paul

00:31:16.179 --> 00:31:17.480
 has used that language

00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:18.179
 speaking of

00:31:18.179 --> 00:31:19.279
 allusions to the

00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:20.059
 ceremonial law

00:31:20.059 --> 00:31:20.740
 the blood of a

00:31:20.740 --> 00:31:21.859
 perfect lamb

00:31:21.859 --> 00:31:22.819
 the lamb of god

00:31:22.819 --> 00:31:24.799
 and he's

00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:25.539
 reminding them

00:31:25.539 --> 00:31:25.939
 how christ

00:31:25.939 --> 00:31:26.740
 fulfills all

00:31:26.740 --> 00:31:27.359
 the promises

00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:27.959
 of the old

00:31:27.959 --> 00:31:28.359
 covenant

00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:29.799
 and now he

00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:30.339
 makes an

00:31:30.339 --> 00:31:30.719
 allusion

00:31:30.719 --> 00:31:31.599
 next to

00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:32.619
 to ephesus

00:31:32.619 --> 00:31:33.179
 i believe

00:31:33.179 --> 00:31:34.259
 to the greco-roman

00:31:34.259 --> 00:31:34.659
 world

00:31:34.659 --> 00:31:35.899
 remember how

00:31:35.899 --> 00:31:36.599
 ephesus was

00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:37.539
 that international

00:31:37.539 --> 00:31:39.799
 hub for trade

00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:40.500
 people coming

00:31:40.500 --> 00:31:41.179
 from all over

00:31:41.179 --> 00:31:42.159
 east meets west

00:31:42.159 --> 00:31:42.959
 and bringing

00:31:42.959 --> 00:31:43.659
 their goods

00:31:43.659 --> 00:31:45.759
 ephesus housed

00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:46.240
 one of the

00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:47.240
 largest ancient

00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:47.679
 banks

00:31:47.679 --> 00:31:49.119
 of the world

00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:50.559
 and it was

00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:51.559
 a bustling

00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:52.459
 city with

00:31:52.459 --> 00:31:53.399
 extravagant

00:31:53.399 --> 00:31:53.959
 wealth from

00:31:53.959 --> 00:31:54.459
 that great

00:31:54.459 --> 00:31:55.139
 temple of

00:31:55.139 --> 00:31:55.959
 diana

00:31:55.959 --> 00:31:57.519
 where people

00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:57.819
 would come

00:31:57.819 --> 00:31:58.219
 from all

00:31:58.219 --> 00:31:58.559
 over the

00:31:58.559 --> 00:31:59.000
 world as

 provincial capital

00:32:05.699 --> 00:32:06.179
 empire

00:32:06.179 --> 00:32:07.879
 he's saying

00:32:07.879 --> 00:32:08.299
 you want to

00:32:08.299 --> 00:32:08.879

 see riches

00:32:10.639 --> 00:32:11.559

00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:12.679

 of diana

00:32:15.019 --> 00:32:16.700

00:32:16.700 --> 00:32:17.160
 the demon

 god has come

00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:19.259
 to meet with

00:32:19.259 --> 00:32:19.660
 the church

00:32:19.660 --> 00:32:20.119
 of god's

00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:20.420
 people

00:32:20.420 --> 00:32:21.920
 this is where

00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:22.460
 the creator

00:32:22.460 --> 00:32:22.920

00:32:33.740 --> 00:32:36.480
 to abound

00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:36.940
 means

00:32:36.940 --> 00:32:38.240
 that god's

00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:38.559
 riches

00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:39.879
 they excel

00:32:39.879 --> 00:32:40.920
 toward you

00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:42.879
 it's like

00:32:42.879 --> 00:32:43.480
 opening up

00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:44.379
 the floodgates

00:32:44.380 --> 00:32:44.680
 and here

00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:45.160
 come the

00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:46.360
 the blessings

00:32:46.360 --> 00:32:46.980
 of heaven

00:32:46.980 --> 00:32:48.020
 flowing forth

00:32:48.020 --> 00:32:49.380
 excelling

00:32:49.380 --> 00:32:50.620
 gaining momentum

00:32:50.620 --> 00:32:51.280
 and speed

00:32:51.280 --> 00:32:52.560
 like an avalanche

00:32:52.560 --> 00:32:53.180
 poured over

00:32:53.180 --> 00:32:53.900
 god's people

00:32:53.900 --> 00:32:55.600
 it all can

00:32:55.600 --> 00:32:56.100
 also mean

00:32:56.100 --> 00:32:56.740
 that may

00:32:56.740 --> 00:32:57.380
 these riches

00:32:57.380 --> 00:32:58.000
 of god's

00:32:58.000 --> 00:32:58.380
 grace

00:32:58.380 --> 00:32:59.460
 increase

00:32:59.460 --> 00:33:00.100
 in you

00:33:00.100 --> 00:33:01.520
 may they

00:33:01.520 --> 00:33:02.340
 remain in

00:33:02.340 --> 00:33:02.580
 you

00:33:02.580 --> 00:33:03.480
 this is what

00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:03.760
 it means

00:33:03.760 --> 00:33:04.520
 to be lavish

00:33:04.520 --> 00:33:05.160
 to abound

00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:06.140
 it's never

00:33:06.140 --> 00:33:06.480
 going to be

00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:06.920
 a part of

00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:07.480
 a christian's

00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:07.940
 life that's

00:33:07.940 --> 00:33:08.580
 lacking god's

00:33:08.580 --> 00:33:08.900
 grace

00:33:08.900 --> 00:33:10.380
 you can look

00:33:10.380 --> 00:33:10.720
 here and

00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:11.040
 there there's

00:33:11.040 --> 00:33:11.620
 not a dry

00:33:11.620 --> 00:33:12.080
 spot

00:33:12.080 --> 00:33:12.920
 you are

00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:13.760
 smothered

00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:14.640
 in grace

00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:19.359
 why us

00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:21.259
 everyone must

00:33:21.259 --> 00:33:22.559
 ask whether

00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:22.839
 you're in

00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:23.440
 ephesus or

00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:23.859
 right here

00:33:23.859 --> 00:33:25.660
 well let's

00:33:25.660 --> 00:33:26.140
 recall the

00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:26.500
 words of

00:33:26.500 --> 00:33:27.039
 deuteronomy

00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:27.799
 7 and 8

00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:29.119
 because god

00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:29.680
 does not

00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:30.220
 change

00:33:30.220 --> 00:33:32.099
 the lord

00:33:32.099 --> 00:33:32.660
 did not

00:33:32.660 --> 00:33:33.200
 set his

00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:33.879
 love on

00:33:33.879 --> 00:33:34.259
 you

00:33:34.259 --> 00:33:36.299
 nor choose

00:33:36.299 --> 00:33:36.799
 you

00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:38.460
 to sum

00:33:38.460 --> 00:33:38.779
 it up

00:33:38.779 --> 00:33:39.420
 for any

00:33:39.420 --> 00:33:39.799
 reasons

00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:40.379
 based on

00:33:40.380 --> 00:33:40.640
 you

00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:42.240
 for you

00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:42.800
 were the

00:33:42.800 --> 00:33:43.280
 least of

00:33:43.280 --> 00:33:43.800
 all people

00:33:43.800 --> 00:33:45.480
 but because

00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:46.840
 the lord

00:33:46.840 --> 00:33:47.920
 loves

00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:48.480
 you

00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:50.940
 he loves

 the beloved

00:33:52.560 --> 00:33:54.200
 he always

00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:54.880
 has loved

00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:55.480
 you in

00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:56.420
 his beloved

00:33:56.420 --> 00:33:57.320
 jesus christ

00:33:57.320 --> 00:33:59.200

 house of

00:34:02.140 --> 00:34:02.840

00:34:02.840 --> 00:34:03.540
 where his

00:34:03.540 --> 00:34:04.600
 love runs

00:34:04.600 --> 00:34:05.060
 toward you

00:34:05.060 --> 00:34:05.580

 you with a

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:07.700
 fatherly

00:34:07.700 --> 00:34:08.340
 embrace that

00:34:08.340 --> 00:34:08.980
 he will

00:34:08.980 --> 00:34:09.539
 never let

00:34:09.539 --> 00:34:09.780
 go

00:34:09.780 --> 00:34:11.260
 we read

00:34:11.260 --> 00:34:11.740
 next in

00:34:11.740 --> 00:34:12.300
 verse 8

00:34:12.300 --> 00:34:13.539
 here's how

00:34:13.539 --> 00:34:14.079
 we go into

00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:15.059
 this this

00:34:15.059 --> 00:34:15.900
 treasure house

00:34:15.900 --> 00:34:17.300
 it's through

00:34:17.300 --> 00:34:17.920
 the wisdom

00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:18.760
 and prudence

00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:19.960
 that he's

00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:20.420
 made known

00:34:20.420 --> 00:34:20.940
 to us

00:34:20.940 --> 00:34:23.100
 so he

00:34:23.100 --> 00:34:23.900
 reveals this

00:34:23.900 --> 00:34:24.519
 to us

00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:26.360
 through christ

00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:27.160
 pulling us

00:34:27.160 --> 00:34:27.700
 deeper and

00:34:27.700 --> 00:34:28.120
 deeper and

00:34:28.120 --> 00:34:28.480
 deeper and

00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:28.920
 deeper in

00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:31.140
 he has

00:34:31.140 --> 00:34:31.559
 shown

00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:32.500
 christ's

00:34:32.500 --> 00:34:32.820
 perfect

00:34:32.820 --> 00:34:33.300
 fulfillment

00:34:33.300 --> 00:34:33.660
 of the

00:34:33.660 --> 00:34:34.539
 jewish

00:34:34.539 --> 00:34:35.340
 ceremonial

00:34:35.340 --> 00:34:35.640
 law

00:34:35.640 --> 00:34:36.800
 and now

00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:37.240
 he says

00:34:37.240 --> 00:34:37.620
 it's all

00:34:37.619 --> 00:34:37.980

00:34:38.500 --> 00:34:39.400
 and prudence

00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:41.880
 i believe

00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:42.420
 this is

00:34:42.420 --> 00:34:42.940
 alluding

00:34:42.940 --> 00:34:43.359
 now to

 proved

00:35:00.839 --> 00:35:01.559
 in christ

00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:03.500
 for those

00:35:03.500 --> 00:35:03.940
 who studied

00:35:10.799 --> 00:35:11.379
 principles

00:35:11.379 --> 00:35:12.679
 so for

00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:13.079
 the church

00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:13.480

00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:50.860
 decision

00:35:50.860 --> 00:35:52.559
 paul's

00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:53.160
 emphasizing

00:35:53.160 --> 00:35:53.660
 here that

00:35:53.660 --> 00:35:54.180
 god does

00:35:54.180 --> 00:35:54.860
 not merely

00:35:54.860 --> 00:35:55.820
 reveal

00:35:55.820 --> 00:35:57.120
 this grand

00:35:57.120 --> 00:35:57.519
 plan of

00:35:57.519 --> 00:35:57.860
 redemption

00:35:57.860 --> 00:35:58.200
 but he

00:35:58.200 --> 00:35:59.140
 also lavishes

00:35:59.140 --> 00:36:00.099
 on his

00:36:00.099 --> 00:36:00.480
 people

00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:01.579
 the daily

00:36:01.579 --> 00:36:02.260
 discernment

00:36:02.260 --> 00:36:02.880
 we need

00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:03.720
 to belong

00:36:03.720 --> 00:36:04.160
 to him

00:36:04.160 --> 00:36:04.420
 in the

00:36:04.420 --> 00:36:04.840
 heavenlies

00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:05.320
 while still

00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:05.700
 walking

00:36:05.700 --> 00:36:06.480
 here on

00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:06.760
 earth

00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:07.760
 he doesn't

00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:08.160
 take us

00:36:08.160 --> 00:36:08.960
 out of

00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:09.440
 this fallen

00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:09.840
 world

00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:10.480
 but we

00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:11.140
 taste

00:36:11.140 --> 00:36:12.360
 by faith

00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:13.220
 his grace

00:36:13.220 --> 00:36:13.620
 now

00:36:13.620 --> 00:36:14.920
 we are

00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:15.380
 in the

00:36:15.380 --> 00:36:15.599
 world

00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:15.980
 but not

00:36:15.980 --> 00:36:16.320
 of the

00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:16.640
 world

00:36:16.640 --> 00:36:20.120
 verse 9

00:36:20.120 --> 00:36:20.500
 says

00:36:20.500 --> 00:36:21.260
 having made

00:36:21.260 --> 00:36:21.699
 known

00:36:21.699 --> 00:36:23.000
 having

00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:23.840
 declared

00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:24.820
 or certified

00:36:24.820 --> 00:36:25.920
 to us

00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:27.340
 the mystery

00:36:27.340 --> 00:36:28.559
 of his

00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:28.840
 will

00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:31.320
 he's

00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:31.760
 kept it

00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:32.300
 veiled

00:36:32.300 --> 00:36:33.199
 he's

00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:33.760
 he's been

00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:34.599
 saving

00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:35.300
 this great

00:36:35.300 --> 00:36:35.679
 moment

00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:36.079
 for the

00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:36.360
 fullness

00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:37.039
 of time

00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:38.619
 and he's

00:36:38.619 --> 00:36:38.800
 been

00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:39.480
 promising

00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:39.760
 it

00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:40.000
 and

00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:40.579
 and

00:36:40.579 --> 00:36:41.219
 prophesying

00:36:41.219 --> 00:36:41.940
 and casting

00:36:41.940 --> 00:36:42.639
 shadows

00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:43.719
 forward toward

00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:44.440
 the substance

00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:44.960
 which is

00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:45.320
 coming

00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:46.619
 Jeremiah

00:36:46.619 --> 00:36:47.539
 31 3

00:36:47.539 --> 00:36:48.079
 we're told

00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:48.739
 that the

00:36:48.739 --> 00:36:49.619
 Lord appeared

00:36:49.619 --> 00:36:50.000
 to me

00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:50.699
 of old

00:36:50.699 --> 00:36:51.480
 see this

00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:51.780
 has been

00:36:51.780 --> 00:36:52.260
 God's

00:36:52.260 --> 00:36:53.019
 revelation

00:36:53.019 --> 00:36:53.800
 all along

00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:54.920
 he says

00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:55.300
 I have

00:36:55.300 --> 00:36:55.679
 loved

00:36:55.679 --> 00:36:55.940
 you

00:36:55.940 --> 00:36:56.500
 with

00:36:56.500 --> 00:36:56.940
 an

00:36:56.940 --> 00:36:58.019
 everlasting

00:36:58.019 --> 00:36:58.920
 love

00:36:58.920 --> 00:36:59.820
 therefore

00:36:59.820 --> 00:37:00.199
 with

00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:00.539
 loving

00:37:00.539 --> 00:37:01.000
 kindness

00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:01.519
 I have

00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:01.980
 drawn

00:37:01.980 --> 00:37:02.300
 you

00:37:02.300 --> 00:37:04.239
 see you

00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:04.539
 can look

00:37:04.539 --> 00:37:04.920
 back on

00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:05.360
 all of

00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:05.679
 God's

00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:05.900
 word

00:37:05.900 --> 00:37:06.280
 and it's

00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:06.619
 always

00:37:06.619 --> 00:37:06.880
 been

00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:07.320
 pointing

00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:07.840
 toward

00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:08.039
 being

00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:08.400
 loved

00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:08.619
 by

00:37:08.619 --> 00:37:08.920
 God

00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:09.079
 in

00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:09.460
 Christ

00:37:09.460 --> 00:37:10.519
 this

00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:10.659
 is

00:37:10.659 --> 00:37:10.800
 what

00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:11.019
 it's

00:37:11.019 --> 00:37:11.260
 all

00:37:11.260 --> 00:37:11.519
 built

00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:11.860
 toward

00:37:11.860 --> 00:37:13.340
 God

00:37:13.340 --> 00:37:13.599
 makes

00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:13.820
 this

00:37:13.820 --> 00:37:14.179
 known

00:37:14.179 --> 00:37:14.719
 to

00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:15.119
 us

00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:15.920
 the

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:16.480
 mystery

00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:18.159
 of

00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:18.340
 his

00:37:18.340 --> 00:37:18.639
 will

00:37:18.639 --> 00:37:20.619
 when

00:37:20.619 --> 00:37:20.800
 we

00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:20.940
 hear

00:37:20.940 --> 00:37:21.079
 the

 word

00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:21.780
 mystery

 our

00:37:22.539 --> 00:37:22.900
 Bibles

00:37:22.900 --> 00:37:24.380
 it

00:37:24.380 --> 00:37:24.639
 doesn't

00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:24.800
 mean

00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:25.000
 to

00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:25.280
 hide

00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:25.659
 something

00:37:25.659 --> 00:37:25.840
 it's

00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:25.980
 the

00:37:25.980 --> 00:37:26.300
 opposite

00:37:26.300 --> 00:37:26.519

00:37:27.699 --> 00:37:27.860
 a

00:37:27.860 --> 00:37:28.420
 form

00:37:28.420 --> 00:37:28.860
 of

00:37:28.860 --> 00:37:29.420
 revelation

00:37:29.420 --> 00:37:30.800
 it's

 a

00:37:32.260 --> 00:37:33.280
 of

00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:33.559
 something

00:37:33.559 --> 00:37:33.800
 that

00:37:33.800 --> 00:37:34.059
 had

00:37:34.059 --> 00:37:34.400
 been

00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:35.199
 been

00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:35.579
 wrapped

00:37:35.579 --> 00:37:36.019
 up

00:37:36.019 --> 00:37:37.400
 until
