00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.220
 Run, John, run, the law demands,

00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:06.860
 but neither gives us feet nor hands.

00:00:08.660 --> 00:00:11.419
 Run, Mike, run, the law demands,

00:00:12.419 --> 00:00:14.700
 but gives me neither feet nor hands.

00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:22.960
 Run, Joanne, run, the law demands,

00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:27.500
 but gives you neither feet nor hands.

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:30.500
 Far better news the gospel brings.

00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:34.039
 It bids us fly and gives us wings.

00:00:37.659 --> 00:00:40.420
 This past week, Jenny and I were in Chicago.

00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:44.100
 We went and saw the musical Hamilton,

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:45.100
 which was phenomenal,

00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:48.740
 and we stayed in a nice hotel,

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:50.840
 and of course when we checked in,

00:00:50.900 --> 00:00:52.179
 we were given the key card,

00:00:52.939 --> 00:00:54.420
 and so we went up into the room,

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:56.480
 kind of slid the key card,

00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:57.559
 opened the door,

00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.119
 and then that key card's work was done.

00:01:00.959 --> 00:01:02.679
 So I put it on the desk.

00:01:05.179 --> 00:01:08.679
 We limit our understanding

00:01:08.679 --> 00:01:11.099
 of the gospel of Jesus Christ

00:01:11.099 --> 00:01:16.859
 to a key card that gets us into Christianity,

00:01:17.659 --> 00:01:20.259
 and once we're into Christianity,

00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:23.800
 we think the gospel key card is done,

00:01:23.900 --> 00:01:25.859
 so we put it on the shelf.

00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:31.880
 And when we forget the cross of Jesus Christ,

00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:35.240
 what happens is we become more aware of our actions,

00:01:35.580 --> 00:01:37.260
 what we should or should not be doing.

00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:39.560
 You know, we shouldn't be lusting,

00:01:39.820 --> 00:01:40.780
 we shouldn't be swearing,

00:01:40.939 --> 00:01:41.880
 we shouldn't be lying,

00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:43.280
 we should be praying,

00:01:43.460 --> 00:01:44.719
 we should be writing our Bibles,

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:46.180
 we should be giving generously,

00:01:46.180 --> 00:01:48.220
 we should be going to church.

00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:50.700
 And so when we lose sight of the cross,

00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:52.860
 what we become more aware of

00:01:52.860 --> 00:01:55.180
 is what we are or are not doing,

00:01:55.320 --> 00:02:00.580
 and those things become what we determine

00:02:00.580 --> 00:02:03.500
 how we're doing with God.

00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:08.000
 I'm good with God if I am doing this.

00:02:08.139 --> 00:02:10.460
 I'm okay with God if I'm doing that.

00:02:10.539 --> 00:02:12.819
 I'm not good with God if I'm doing this.

00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.560
 So we can begin to measure

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.919
 our standing with God

00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.599
 based on our own obedience or lack thereof.

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:26.479
 What we fail to realize

00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:27.719
 is that the gospel

00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:32.759
 is not only the key that initiates our salvation,

00:02:33.500 --> 00:02:38.319
 the gospel is the very thing of our salvation.

00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.400
 It completes our salvation.

00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:47.639
 What God begins in us by gospel grace,

00:02:48.259 --> 00:02:53.020
 God will complete in us by gospel grace.

00:02:53.099 --> 00:02:54.740
 In other words, this gospel,

00:02:56.340 --> 00:02:57.520
 Christ crucified,

00:02:58.699 --> 00:03:01.500
 it's the announcement that God's salvation

00:03:01.500 --> 00:03:04.680
 salvation from beginning to end

00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.020
 is all a work of God's grace.

00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:13.660
 The book of Galatians

00:03:13.660 --> 00:03:15.320
 is the apostle Paul

00:03:15.320 --> 00:03:17.400
 writing to these young Christians

00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:18.580
 in the first century,

00:03:19.140 --> 00:03:20.700
 these Gentile Christians

00:03:20.700 --> 00:03:22.960
 in southern Galatia,

00:03:23.300 --> 00:03:24.660
 and he's really concerned about them.

00:03:25.660 --> 00:03:27.439
 If you'd open up your Bibles to Galatians,

00:03:27.480 --> 00:03:28.160
 if you haven't already,

00:03:28.300 --> 00:03:30.320
 let me just help you see the concern.

00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:32.920
 In Galatians 5.1,

00:03:33.420 --> 00:03:34.740
 Paul writes to these Christians,

00:03:34.740 --> 00:03:36.700
 for freedom Christ has set us free.

00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:38.540
 Stand firm, therefore,

00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:39.820
 and do not submit again

00:03:39.820 --> 00:03:40.780
 to a yoke of slavery.

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:42.340
 Christ, through the gospel,

00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:44.180
 sets you free, brothers and sisters.

00:03:45.320 --> 00:03:47.920
 Don't go back to the law.

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:49.000
 Slavery.

00:03:50.900 --> 00:03:51.439
 4.21,

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:52.080
 Tell me,

00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.300
 you who desire to be under the law,

00:03:54.420 --> 00:03:57.040
 do you not listen to the law?

00:03:57.600 --> 00:03:58.320
 4.9,

00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.680
 But now that you've come to know God,

00:04:00.739 --> 00:04:01.919
 or rather to be known by God,

00:04:02.139 --> 00:04:04.039
 how can you turn back again

00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:04.939
 to the weak and worthless

00:04:04.939 --> 00:04:06.400
 elementary principles of the world,

00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:06.680
 which,

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.859
 whose slaves you want to be once more?

00:04:10.739 --> 00:04:11.879
 You want to go back to that?

00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:16.360
 Way back in Galatians chapter 1,

00:04:16.719 --> 00:04:19.159
 this thing that Paul is really concerned about,

00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:20.500
 he uses different language

00:04:20.500 --> 00:04:21.899
 in Galatians 1.6,

00:04:21.899 --> 00:04:23.120
 I am astonished

00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:24.899
 that you are so quickly deserting him

00:04:24.899 --> 00:04:25.659
 who called you

00:04:25.659 --> 00:04:27.239
 in the grace of Christ

00:04:27.239 --> 00:04:28.819
 and are turning to a different gospel.

00:04:30.979 --> 00:04:32.399
 Going back to the law.

00:04:34.539 --> 00:04:37.099
 It's what Paul rebukes Peter for,

00:04:38.459 --> 00:04:40.419
 what we saw the last couple weeks

00:04:40.419 --> 00:04:41.259
 in 2.18,

00:04:41.419 --> 00:04:42.279
 when he says to Peter,

00:04:42.579 --> 00:04:44.359
 for if I rebuild what I tore down,

00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.159
 I prove myself to be a transgressor.

00:04:46.259 --> 00:04:47.779
 You're just going back to the law.

00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:51.560
 And in our passage today,

00:04:51.899 --> 00:04:53.620
 Galatians chapter 3,

00:04:53.719 --> 00:04:54.859
 verses 1 through 14,

00:04:54.979 --> 00:04:57.299
 if you look at Galatians 3.3,

00:04:57.679 --> 00:04:58.739
 are you so foolish,

00:04:59.779 --> 00:05:00.479
 Galatian Christians?

00:05:01.179 --> 00:05:02.319
 Are you so foolish?

00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:05.479
 Having begun by the Spirit,

00:05:05.699 --> 00:05:08.000
 are you now being perfected by the flesh

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.279
 by obeying the law?

00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:14.979
 What Paul is doing in the book of Galatians

00:05:14.979 --> 00:05:18.079
 is he's trying to free these Christians

00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:19.819
 from this false understanding

00:05:19.819 --> 00:05:21.579
 of a false gospel that says,

00:05:21.899 --> 00:05:23.739
 hey, you can start by believing in Jesus,

00:05:23.739 --> 00:05:26.219
 but you've got to finish what God starts

00:05:26.219 --> 00:05:28.599
 by obeying the law.

00:05:30.679 --> 00:05:32.779
 And so what ends up happening is

00:05:32.779 --> 00:05:34.859
 you've got, in the book of Galatians,

00:05:35.039 --> 00:05:37.839
 two incompatible ways to live life.

00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:42.099
 Option one is the gospel of self-dependence.

00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:44.379
 It's not really a gospel,

00:05:44.379 --> 00:05:47.680
 but it's spun as gospel.

00:05:47.820 --> 00:05:49.460
 It's spun as good news,

00:05:49.580 --> 00:05:50.939
 but it's not good news.

00:05:52.060 --> 00:05:54.700
 Here's the thinking of the gospel of self-dependence.

00:05:55.980 --> 00:05:58.580
 Hey, Jesus may have saved me,

00:05:58.840 --> 00:06:01.240
 but I need to trust in myself

00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.520
 to stay saved with God

00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:05.960
 by obeying his law.

00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.500
 And so what you're essentially saying is,

00:06:09.779 --> 00:06:12.799
 my salvation depends upon my obedience.

00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.439
 That's a gospel of self-dependence,

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.000
 or it's also known as legalism,

00:06:19.799 --> 00:06:22.279
 thinking that obeying the law

00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:23.740
 will keep me right with God.

00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:25.799
 Option two is the one true gospel,

00:06:26.799 --> 00:06:29.679
 that by trusting,

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:30.900
 not in myself,

00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:31.780
 but in Christ,

00:06:32.340 --> 00:06:34.420
 trusting in not my works,

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.259
 but Christ's finished work

00:06:36.259 --> 00:06:40.459
 by trusting in what Christ has already done.

00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.860
 I have been declared righteous forever

00:06:44.860 --> 00:06:45.980
 in God's sight.

00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.340
 All of my sin is forgiven.

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:52.939
 I am in righteous standing with God

00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:55.379
 because of Christ's righteousness given to me.

00:06:55.860 --> 00:06:57.560
 And so now I don't obey

00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.300
 in order to win God's favor,

00:06:59.300 --> 00:07:02.220
 thoroughly convinced of God's favor through Christ.

00:07:02.460 --> 00:07:04.139
 I want to obey him.

00:07:08.259 --> 00:07:11.720
 So either you're going to live your life

00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.379
 trusting in your own efforts

00:07:15.379 --> 00:07:18.180
 to stay right with God,

00:07:19.019 --> 00:07:23.580
 or trusting in Christ's finished work

00:07:23.580 --> 00:07:26.220
 who has made you right with God.

00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:30.560
 The two are incompatible.

00:07:31.340 --> 00:07:33.300
 And what the Galatians were being taught

00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:35.720
 by false teachers way back in the first century

00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:36.060
 was,

00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:36.980
 no, no, no,

00:07:37.200 --> 00:07:39.420
 you need to be circumcised,

00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:41.800
 you need to eat kosher foods,

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:44.240
 you need to observe Jewish holidays,

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.900
 and then you will stay right with God.

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:49.520
 And Paul says,

00:07:49.640 --> 00:07:50.420
 we'll have none of that.

00:07:50.420 --> 00:07:53.800
 And so in 3.1,

00:07:53.900 --> 00:07:54.319
 he says,

00:07:54.540 --> 00:07:57.879
 oh, foolish Galatians,

00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:59.400
 who has bewitched you?

00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:03.939
 One English translation says,

00:08:04.939 --> 00:08:06.439
 oh, you stupid Galatians,

00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:10.959
 who has cast this spell on you?

00:08:13.699 --> 00:08:18.579
 Who's telling you that what began by God's grace

00:08:18.579 --> 00:08:21.500
 is now finished by the power of the flesh?

00:08:21.779 --> 00:08:22.800
 He's like saying this,

00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.060
 as if it's possible that any sinner

00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:28.500
 can add to a salvation

00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:30.300
 that is by grace alone,

00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:31.300
 in Christ alone,

00:08:31.379 --> 00:08:32.240
 by faith alone,

00:08:32.299 --> 00:08:33.179
 from beginning to end.

00:08:33.179 --> 00:08:38.639
 Oh, foolish Galatians,

00:08:39.299 --> 00:08:41.639
 who's bewitched you?

00:08:43.059 --> 00:08:44.099
 And then he says,

00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:45.579
 in that same verse,

00:08:46.139 --> 00:08:47.379
 it was before your eyes

00:08:47.379 --> 00:08:49.399
 that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed

00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:50.419
 as crucified.

00:08:50.599 --> 00:08:51.419
 You know what he's talking about?

00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:52.559
 He's talking about,

00:08:53.099 --> 00:08:54.699
 in Acts 13 and 14,

00:08:54.819 --> 00:08:56.399
 when he's on his first missionary journey,

00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:58.679
 and he's cruising through southern Galatia,

00:08:58.719 --> 00:08:59.719
 and he's hitting all these cities,

00:08:59.719 --> 00:09:03.059
 and he's proclaiming Christ to the Galatians,

00:09:03.179 --> 00:09:05.179
 what the Spirit of God was doing,

00:09:05.299 --> 00:09:06.939
 is he's proclaiming Christ,

00:09:07.059 --> 00:09:07.859
 and they're thinking,

00:09:08.179 --> 00:09:11.219
 it's like Jesus is here being crucified,

00:09:11.439 --> 00:09:13.639
 and we're seeing it for us.

00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.679
 That's how impressive

00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.879
 the Spirit's work was

00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:21.379
 when they first were converted.

00:09:21.959 --> 00:09:22.599
 And he's saying,

00:09:22.959 --> 00:09:25.259
 I preach to you the true gospel,

00:09:25.839 --> 00:09:26.419
 two words,

00:09:26.419 --> 00:09:28.839
 Christ crucified, period.

00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.220
 And the way to respond to that

00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:34.259
 is by faith alone.

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:37.899
 And so,

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:39.500
 what we have here

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:41.460
 is a rebuke.

00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.240
 Paul is saying to these Galatians,

00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:46.019
 snap out of it.

00:09:47.300 --> 00:09:49.399
 Snap out of this

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.700
 legalistic spell on you.

00:09:52.700 --> 00:09:56.520
 And for the rest of these verses,

00:09:56.780 --> 00:09:58.720
 for verses 2 through 14,

00:09:59.540 --> 00:10:03.000
 he gives us three gospel convincers.

00:10:04.980 --> 00:10:07.379
 Three reasons why

00:10:07.379 --> 00:10:08.660
 the gospel,

00:10:08.980 --> 00:10:10.460
 Christ crucified,

00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:12.400
 in all of its grace,

00:10:12.820 --> 00:10:16.200
 keeps us from going back to legalism.

00:10:16.540 --> 00:10:18.000
 So if I can sum up this passage

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:18.800
 in one sentence,

00:10:18.900 --> 00:10:19.460
 it would be this.

00:10:19.460 --> 00:10:22.240
 In light of the gospel of grace,

00:10:23.139 --> 00:10:27.759
 don't go back to the law.

00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:30.500
 In light of the gospel of grace,

00:10:31.280 --> 00:10:33.300
 don't go back to the law.

00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:37.019
 So let's look at reason number one.

00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.000
 It's in verses 2 through 5.

00:10:40.160 --> 00:10:41.540
 The first reason why

00:10:41.540 --> 00:10:42.700
 we don't go back

00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:43.820
 to live for the law,

00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:44.860
 to try to finish

00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:46.360
 what God has begun,

00:10:46.680 --> 00:10:47.660
 we don't do that

00:10:47.659 --> 00:10:49.600
 because we are

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.980
 God's new covenant people now.

00:10:54.539 --> 00:10:57.019
 Indwelt by the Spirit of God.

00:11:00.219 --> 00:11:02.039
 Now if you look at verses 2 through 5,

00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:07.919
 I don't see any new covenant phrase.

00:11:09.500 --> 00:11:10.399
 No new covenant.

00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:11.959
 Verse 2, nope.

00:11:12.139 --> 00:11:12.679
 3, nope.

00:11:13.139 --> 00:11:13.579
 4, nope.

00:11:13.939 --> 00:11:14.339
 5, nope.

00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:17.580
 Where is this new covenant business

00:11:17.580 --> 00:11:18.060
 coming from?

00:11:19.780 --> 00:11:20.500
 Well let me give you

00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:21.139
 a little background.

00:11:22.680 --> 00:11:23.759
 In the Old Testament,

00:11:23.980 --> 00:11:25.019
 in Jeremiah 31

00:11:25.019 --> 00:11:26.759
 and Ezekiel 36,

00:11:27.420 --> 00:11:29.139
 God began promising

00:11:29.139 --> 00:11:31.220
 that he was going to establish

00:11:31.220 --> 00:11:32.759
 a new covenant

00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:34.540
 with a new people.

00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.060
 And in Jeremiah 31,

00:11:38.180 --> 00:11:38.720
 we learn that

00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:40.000
 this new covenant

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.040
 was going to be different

00:11:41.040 --> 00:11:42.240
 from the old covenant

00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:43.159
 that God had made

00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:43.879
 with Israel

00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:45.340
 on Mount Sinai

00:11:45.340 --> 00:11:46.680
 after he delivered them

00:11:46.680 --> 00:11:48.039
 from Egypt.

00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:49.899
 And in Ezekiel 36,

00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:51.200
 we learn more

00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:52.180
 about this new covenant,

00:11:52.340 --> 00:11:53.480
 this new way God relates

00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:54.100
 with a people.

00:11:54.700 --> 00:11:55.519
 And the new way

00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:56.860
 we learn in Ezekiel 36

00:11:56.860 --> 00:11:57.480
 is that

00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:58.840
 God himself

00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.879
 would put his spirit

00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:04.940
 in this new people

00:12:04.940 --> 00:12:07.240
 and radically transform

00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:09.720
 their hearts of stone

00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.139
 into hearts of flesh

00:12:12.139 --> 00:12:13.379
 so that

00:12:13.379 --> 00:12:15.700
 they would obey

00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:16.440
 God's law.

00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:19.240
 And so what you need

00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:20.200
 to understand is

00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:21.440
 the new covenant,

00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:23.000
 the hallmark,

00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.440
 is the pouring out

00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:27.320
 of the Holy Spirit

00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:29.700
 who radically changes

00:12:29.700 --> 00:12:30.660
 sinners' hearts

00:12:30.660 --> 00:12:31.980
 from hard

00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:33.540
 and not wanting God

00:12:33.540 --> 00:12:34.360
 to soft

00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:35.379
 and now wanting

00:12:35.379 --> 00:12:36.440
 to obey Him.

00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:37.820
 And so what we see

00:12:37.820 --> 00:12:38.840
 going on here,

00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:39.460
 you don't see

00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:40.540
 new covenant language

00:12:40.540 --> 00:12:41.560
 but you see

00:12:41.560 --> 00:12:42.460
 spirit language.

00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:46.840
 Let me ask you

00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:47.300
 only this,

00:12:47.379 --> 00:12:47.980
 did you receive

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:48.500
 the spirit

00:12:48.500 --> 00:12:49.500
 by works of the law?

00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:51.980
 Having begun

00:12:51.980 --> 00:12:52.580
 by the spirit,

00:12:52.660 --> 00:12:53.160
 are you now being

00:12:53.160 --> 00:12:54.259
 perfected by the flesh?

00:12:54.620 --> 00:12:55.519
 Does he who supplies

00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:56.480
 the spirit to you

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:57.440
 and works miracles

00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:57.860
 among you

00:12:57.860 --> 00:12:58.920
 do so by works of the law

00:12:58.920 --> 00:13:00.000
 or by hearing

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:00.480
 with faith?

00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:04.040
 Paul is pointing

00:13:04.040 --> 00:13:05.400
 to a new reality.

00:13:06.980 --> 00:13:08.019
 These Galatians,

00:13:08.019 --> 00:13:09.299
 these Gentiles,

00:13:09.860 --> 00:13:11.919
 they are God's

00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:13.319
 new covenant people

00:13:13.319 --> 00:13:15.860
 indwelt

00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:17.240
 by the spirit.

00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:19.279
 Now,

00:13:19.539 --> 00:13:20.419
 here's what you need

00:13:20.419 --> 00:13:20.860
 to understand.

00:13:21.980 --> 00:13:22.980
 The new covenant

00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:23.519
 of what

00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.819
 Jeremiah and Ezekiel

00:13:25.819 --> 00:13:26.980
 prophesied,

00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:28.960
 it has come.

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:30.980
 The new covenant

00:13:30.980 --> 00:13:31.819
 is here

00:13:31.820 --> 00:13:34.240
 and it has come

00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:35.440
 through Jesus

00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.160
 ratified by his

00:13:37.160 --> 00:13:38.020
 blood on the cross.

00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:38.379
 Do you remember

00:13:38.379 --> 00:13:39.200
 when we do communion,

00:13:39.660 --> 00:13:40.600
 hold up the cup

00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:42.240
 and we say these words,

00:13:42.540 --> 00:13:43.940
 this is the new covenant

00:13:43.940 --> 00:13:45.560
 given in my blood.

00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:48.379
 The new way

00:13:48.379 --> 00:13:49.379
 with which God

00:13:49.379 --> 00:13:50.780
 relates with his people

00:13:50.780 --> 00:13:51.879
 through the blood

00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:52.520
 of Jesus.

00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:52.699
 Jesus.

00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:56.059
 So,

00:13:56.220 --> 00:13:57.360
 this gospel,

00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:58.460
 Christ crucified,

00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:00.039
 is an announcement

00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.939
 of the new covenant.

00:14:04.500 --> 00:14:06.220
 And what we are learning

00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:07.480
 about the spirit here

00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:08.000
 is this,

00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:08.939
 the third person

00:14:08.939 --> 00:14:09.559
 of the Trinity,

00:14:09.699 --> 00:14:10.659
 the Holy Spirit

00:14:10.659 --> 00:14:11.840
 who is completely,

00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:13.100
 wonderfully a person,

00:14:13.439 --> 00:14:14.319
 what he is seeking

00:14:14.319 --> 00:14:14.939
 to do is

00:14:14.939 --> 00:14:16.240
 the spirit of God

00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:17.639
 is seeking to apply

00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:18.659
 the finished work

00:14:18.659 --> 00:14:19.220
 of Jesus,

00:14:19.220 --> 00:14:21.560
 freedom to every

00:14:21.560 --> 00:14:22.860
 single person

00:14:22.860 --> 00:14:23.920
 who believes.

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:26.220
 And so,

00:14:26.300 --> 00:14:27.259
 the spirit of God

00:14:27.259 --> 00:14:28.340
 is applying

00:14:28.340 --> 00:14:29.399
 the finished work

00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:30.139
 of Jesus

00:14:30.139 --> 00:14:32.460
 to anyone

00:14:32.460 --> 00:14:33.180
 who believes

00:14:33.180 --> 00:14:33.800
 in what Christ

00:14:33.800 --> 00:14:34.259
 has done.

00:14:37.040 --> 00:14:37.759
 It's

00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.360
 a working

00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:42.399
 of God's spirit

00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:44.139
 among a new covenant

00:14:44.139 --> 00:14:45.240
 people.

00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:46.800
 So,

00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:47.399
 the spirit

00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:48.379
 is seeking

00:14:48.379 --> 00:14:49.500
 to empower us

00:14:49.500 --> 00:14:50.059
 daily

00:14:50.059 --> 00:14:51.460
 to live out

00:14:51.460 --> 00:14:52.320
 the freedom

00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:52.939
 accomplished

00:14:52.939 --> 00:14:54.460
 by Christ's death.

00:14:55.700 --> 00:14:56.179
 That's

00:14:56.179 --> 00:14:56.919
 what it means

00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:57.620
 to walk

00:14:57.620 --> 00:14:58.600
 by the spirit,

00:14:58.799 --> 00:14:59.879
 Galatians 5 and 6.

00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:03.559
 So,

00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:05.799
 that's a little

00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:06.259
 background

00:15:06.259 --> 00:15:07.080
 of what's going

00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:07.559
 on here.

00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:09.019
 So,

00:15:09.100 --> 00:15:09.840
 in verse 2,

00:15:10.860 --> 00:15:11.500
 in verse 3,

00:15:11.580 --> 00:15:12.019
 in verse 4,

00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:12.799
 in verse 5,

00:15:12.940 --> 00:15:13.379
 we have

00:15:13.379 --> 00:15:14.620
 four rhetorical

00:15:14.620 --> 00:15:15.080
 questions.

00:15:16.299 --> 00:15:16.580
 Do you know

00:15:16.580 --> 00:15:17.320
 what a litmus test

00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:17.559
 is?

00:15:18.019 --> 00:15:18.279
 Remember,

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:18.679
 high school

00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:19.159
 chemistry?

00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:20.899
 Litmus paper,

00:15:21.740 --> 00:15:22.220
 there would be

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:23.039
 a petri dish,

00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:24.419
 some solution

00:15:24.419 --> 00:15:24.779
 in it,

00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:25.340
 you dip it

00:15:25.340 --> 00:15:25.700
 in there,

00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:26.519
 you pull it

00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:26.799
 out,

00:15:27.379 --> 00:15:28.559
 the litmus paper

00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:29.379
 turns colors

00:15:29.379 --> 00:15:29.840
 because there's

00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:30.120
 some kind

00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:30.559
 of chemical

00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:30.960
 in there,

00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:31.320
 and so you

00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:32.039
 see what's

00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:32.659
 in the dish,

00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:34.340
 you find out

00:15:34.340 --> 00:15:34.620
 what kind

00:15:34.620 --> 00:15:35.120
 of chemicals

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:35.580
 in there.

00:15:36.179 --> 00:15:37.000
 These rhetorical

00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:37.919
 questions are

00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.220
 a litmus test

00:15:39.220 --> 00:15:40.100
 for what's

00:15:40.100 --> 00:15:41.059
 going on

00:15:41.059 --> 00:15:42.159
 in the Galatians.

00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:44.819
 So,

00:15:45.019 --> 00:15:45.480
 let's just

00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:45.919
 look at two

00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:46.360
 questions,

00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:47.339
 verse 2

00:15:47.339 --> 00:15:48.259
 and verse 5.

00:15:49.699 --> 00:15:50.279
 Verse 2,

00:15:50.379 --> 00:15:50.699
 we read,

00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:51.379
 let me ask you

00:15:51.379 --> 00:15:52.059
 only this,

00:15:52.179 --> 00:15:52.779
 did you receive

00:15:52.779 --> 00:15:53.240
 the Spirit

00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:53.919
 by works

00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:54.480
 of the law

00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:54.980
 or by

00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:55.819
 hearing with

00:15:55.819 --> 00:15:56.199
 faith,

00:15:56.459 --> 00:15:57.159
 this new

00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:57.839
 covenant work

00:15:57.839 --> 00:15:58.339
 that God

00:15:58.339 --> 00:15:58.860
 has begun

00:15:58.860 --> 00:15:59.159
 in you,

00:15:59.240 --> 00:15:59.799
 Galatians,

00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:01.699
 is this new

00:16:01.699 --> 00:16:02.360
 covenant work

00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:03.139
 of the outpouring

00:16:03.139 --> 00:16:03.819
 of the Spirit,

00:16:04.219 --> 00:16:05.779
 did you earn

00:16:05.779 --> 00:16:06.919
 that by your

00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:08.019
 obedience to

00:16:08.019 --> 00:16:08.559
 the law?

00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:10.539
 option 1,

00:16:10.839 --> 00:16:12.299
 or did you

00:16:12.299 --> 00:16:13.539
 receive that

00:16:13.539 --> 00:16:14.379
 as a gift

00:16:14.379 --> 00:16:15.699
 by the hearing

00:16:15.699 --> 00:16:16.219
 of faith?

00:16:17.419 --> 00:16:18.299
 We know the

00:16:18.299 --> 00:16:18.599
 answer.

00:16:20.179 --> 00:16:21.299
 We received it

00:16:21.299 --> 00:16:21.959
 by the hearing

00:16:21.959 --> 00:16:22.500
 of faith.

00:16:23.459 --> 00:16:24.079
 And so what Paul

00:16:24.079 --> 00:16:24.899
 is pointing back

00:16:24.899 --> 00:16:25.319
 to is,

00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:26.799
 your very salvation

00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:28.419
 began by

00:16:28.419 --> 00:16:29.439
 nothing you did.

00:16:30.719 --> 00:16:31.519
 It was all

00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:32.459
 a work of God

00:16:32.459 --> 00:16:33.179
 and outpouring

00:16:33.179 --> 00:16:34.079
 of Spirit

00:16:34.079 --> 00:16:35.339
 that you received

00:16:35.339 --> 00:16:37.319
 by faith.

00:16:37.479 --> 00:16:38.019
 The Galatians

00:16:38.019 --> 00:16:38.479
 were making

00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:39.080
 a classic

00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:39.639
 mistake.

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:40.399
 They were

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:40.800
 thinking,

00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:41.779
 verse 3,

00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:42.460
 that what

00:16:42.460 --> 00:16:43.279
 began by

00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:43.820
 the Spirit

00:16:43.820 --> 00:16:44.779
 that they

00:16:44.779 --> 00:16:45.920
 now are

00:16:45.920 --> 00:16:46.700
 to complete

00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:47.879
 by the works

00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:48.940
 of their flesh

00:16:48.940 --> 00:16:49.980
 by obeying

00:16:49.980 --> 00:16:50.519
 the law.

00:16:52.560 --> 00:16:53.580
 Not so.

00:16:57.139 --> 00:16:58.600
 In verse 5,

00:16:59.060 --> 00:16:59.620
 Paul moves

00:16:59.620 --> 00:17:00.519
 from talking

00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:01.120
 about what

00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:01.779
 happened at

00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:02.320
 the beginning

00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:03.300
 of their conversion

00:17:03.300 --> 00:17:04.220
 to what is

00:17:04.220 --> 00:17:05.900
 presently happening

00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:07.019
 in their midst.

00:17:07.019 --> 00:17:07.099
 present.

00:17:08.299 --> 00:17:09.000
 He says,

00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:09.599
 does he who

00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:10.420
 supply the Spirit

00:17:10.420 --> 00:17:11.019
 to you and

00:17:11.019 --> 00:17:11.920
 works miracles

00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:12.500
 among you do

00:17:12.500 --> 00:17:13.119
 so by works

00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:13.460
 of the law

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:13.879
 or by hearing

00:17:13.879 --> 00:17:14.420
 with faith?

00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:16.139
 It's all

00:17:16.139 --> 00:17:16.920
 present tense.

00:17:17.339 --> 00:17:18.079
 Does he who

00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:18.839
 is supplying

00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:19.420
 the Spirit

00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:20.220
 to you now

00:17:20.220 --> 00:17:21.000
 and working

00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:21.559
 of miracles

00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:22.099
 among you

00:17:22.099 --> 00:17:23.000
 now do

00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:23.799
 so because

00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:24.519
 you are

00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:25.259
 obeying

00:17:25.259 --> 00:17:26.180
 his law

00:17:26.180 --> 00:17:27.579
 or does he

00:17:27.579 --> 00:17:28.299
 do so because

00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:29.319
 you're just

00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:29.819
 hearing it

00:17:29.819 --> 00:17:30.400
 with faith?

00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.200
 We know

00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:33.680
 the answer.

00:17:35.300 --> 00:17:36.000
 We don't

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.820
 obey God

00:17:36.820 --> 00:17:37.240
 in order

00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:37.580
 for him

00:17:37.580 --> 00:17:38.040
 to bless

00:17:38.040 --> 00:17:38.540
 us.

00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:40.680
 We receive

00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:41.259
 his blessing.

00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:44.019
 So the

00:17:44.019 --> 00:17:44.500
 present

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:45.480
 working of

00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:45.940
 the Spirit

00:17:45.940 --> 00:17:46.620
 in Galatians

00:17:46.620 --> 00:17:47.060
 to which

00:17:47.060 --> 00:17:48.200
 the Apostle

00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:48.580
 Paul is

00:17:48.580 --> 00:17:49.360
 talking about,

00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.180
 he's saying

00:17:50.180 --> 00:17:50.840
 this isn't

00:17:50.840 --> 00:17:51.019
 some,

00:17:51.060 --> 00:17:51.320
 you've heard

00:17:51.320 --> 00:17:51.660
 it in the

00:17:51.660 --> 00:17:51.840
 news,

00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:52.560
 some quid

00:17:52.560 --> 00:17:53.180
 pro quo.

00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:54.700
 You scratch

00:17:54.700 --> 00:17:55.280
 God's back,

00:17:55.340 --> 00:17:55.860
 he scratches

00:17:55.860 --> 00:17:56.340
 yours.

00:17:56.340 --> 00:17:56.460
 He scratches

00:17:56.460 --> 00:17:56.480
 yours.

00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:01.180
 The

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:01.799
 outpouring

00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:02.120
 of the

00:18:02.120 --> 00:18:02.360
 Spirit

00:18:02.360 --> 00:18:02.759
 in our

00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:03.120
 past

00:18:03.120 --> 00:18:03.420
 to in

00:18:03.420 --> 00:18:03.559
 our

00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:03.900
 present

00:18:03.900 --> 00:18:04.599
 is all

00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:05.319
 by God's

00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:05.720
 grace

00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:06.200
 and it's

00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:06.920
 all received

00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:07.599
 by faith.

00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:08.819
 And so

00:18:08.819 --> 00:18:09.200
 here's the

00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:09.819
 Apostle Paul

00:18:09.819 --> 00:18:10.319
 doing this

00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:11.079
 litmus test

00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:11.779
 in the

00:18:11.779 --> 00:18:12.380
 Galatians.

00:18:13.700 --> 00:18:14.500
 And he's

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:15.579
 pulling out

00:18:15.579 --> 00:18:16.200
 this paper

00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:16.700
 through these

00:18:16.700 --> 00:18:17.200
 questions

00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:18.120
 so that the

00:18:18.120 --> 00:18:18.799
 Galatians

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:20.039
 can understand

00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:21.220
 what their

00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:22.299
 true colors

00:18:22.299 --> 00:18:22.740
 are,

00:18:23.860 --> 00:18:24.519
 who they're

00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:25.900
 truly trusting.

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:28.680
 And Paul

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:29.039
 is trying

00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:29.559
 to convince

00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:29.980
 them,

00:18:30.579 --> 00:18:31.400
 you are

00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:32.299
 new covenant,

00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:34.160
 new covenant

00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:36.759
 people indwelt

00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:37.559
 by the Spirit.

00:18:38.620 --> 00:18:39.799
 So what that

00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:40.460
 means is,

00:18:40.940 --> 00:18:41.440
 they don't go

00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:41.819
 back to

00:18:41.819 --> 00:18:43.980
 legalism because

00:18:43.980 --> 00:18:44.460
 they've been

00:18:44.460 --> 00:18:45.339
 made new by

00:18:45.339 --> 00:18:46.759
 the Spirit and

00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:47.539
 the Spirit is

00:18:47.539 --> 00:18:48.400
 at work in

00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:49.420
 them to begin

00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:50.740
 all the way

00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:51.420
 to completing

00:18:51.420 --> 00:18:52.940
 them all the

00:18:52.940 --> 00:18:53.500
 way through.

00:18:53.500 --> 00:19:02.660
 another way

00:19:02.660 --> 00:19:02.900
 to think

00:19:02.900 --> 00:19:03.180
 about it

00:19:03.180 --> 00:19:03.640
 is this.

00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:06.579
 In light

00:19:06.579 --> 00:19:06.880
 of the

00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:07.579
 nature of

00:19:07.579 --> 00:19:08.480
 the new

00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:08.859
 covenant,

00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:09.880
 Jeremiah 31

00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:10.680
 and Ezekiel

00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:11.240
 36,

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:13.900
 we don't

00:19:13.900 --> 00:19:14.779
 obey God

00:19:14.779 --> 00:19:16.579
 in order

00:19:16.579 --> 00:19:17.319
 to be given

00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:18.339
 new hearts.

00:19:19.539 --> 00:19:20.339
 We've been

00:19:20.339 --> 00:19:21.039
 given new

00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:21.839
 hearts by the

00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:22.180
 Spirit,

00:19:22.180 --> 00:19:24.060
 in order

00:19:24.060 --> 00:19:24.640
 to obey

00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:25.080
 God.

00:19:25.779 --> 00:19:26.600
 The first

00:19:26.600 --> 00:19:27.360
 is legalism,

00:19:27.820 --> 00:19:28.259
 the second

00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:28.860
 is gospel.

00:19:32.340 --> 00:19:33.100
 So here's

00:19:33.100 --> 00:19:33.420
 what this

00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:33.820
 means for

00:19:33.820 --> 00:19:34.140
 us.

00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:36.460
 I know

00:19:36.460 --> 00:19:36.940
 many people

00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:37.380
 in the room

00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:38.560
 want to see

00:19:38.560 --> 00:19:39.600
 an outpouring

00:19:39.600 --> 00:19:40.160
 of God's

00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:40.820
 Spirit in

00:19:40.820 --> 00:19:41.279
 our midst.

00:19:42.019 --> 00:19:42.560
 We want

00:19:42.560 --> 00:19:43.200
 to experience

00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:44.039
 the presence

00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:44.620
 of the third

00:19:44.620 --> 00:19:45.180
 person of the

00:19:45.180 --> 00:19:46.320
 Trinity in

00:19:46.320 --> 00:19:46.720
 greater and

00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:47.279
 greater measure.

00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:48.279
 God's

00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:48.519
 love.

00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:48.799
 And so what

00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:49.299
 we're learning

00:19:49.299 --> 00:19:50.000
 here is

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:51.759
 that's not

00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:52.940
 something we

00:19:52.940 --> 00:19:53.859
 swap for.

00:19:54.779 --> 00:19:55.420
 We don't

00:19:55.420 --> 00:19:56.339
 obey God

00:19:56.339 --> 00:19:57.379
 so that He

00:19:57.379 --> 00:19:57.779
 would pour

00:19:57.779 --> 00:19:58.139
 out His

00:19:58.139 --> 00:19:58.720
 Spirit on

00:19:58.720 --> 00:19:59.039
 us.

00:20:00.399 --> 00:20:01.160
 It doesn't

00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:01.619
 work that

00:20:01.619 --> 00:20:01.920
 way.

00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:05.399
 Our

00:20:05.399 --> 00:20:06.220
 experience of

00:20:06.220 --> 00:20:06.539
 the Holy

00:20:06.539 --> 00:20:07.059
 Spirit

00:20:07.059 --> 00:20:08.859
 doesn't come

00:20:08.859 --> 00:20:09.500
 as a result

00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:10.279
 of our

00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:11.399
 performance.

00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:14.160
 our experience

00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:14.620
 of the Holy

00:20:14.620 --> 00:20:15.420
 Spirit is

00:20:15.420 --> 00:20:17.680
 solely a

00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:18.120
 working of

00:20:18.120 --> 00:20:18.820
 God's grace

00:20:18.820 --> 00:20:20.259
 which we

00:20:20.259 --> 00:20:20.860
 receive by

00:20:20.860 --> 00:20:21.180
 faith.

00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:25.180
 But it

00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:25.600
 raises an

00:20:25.600 --> 00:20:25.880
 interesting

00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:26.360
 question.

00:20:30.780 --> 00:20:31.480
 Let's say

00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:32.080
 that God

00:20:32.080 --> 00:20:32.800
 we're asking

00:20:32.800 --> 00:20:33.440
 God to pour

00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:33.920
 out the Holy

00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:34.500
 Spirit on

00:20:34.500 --> 00:20:34.740
 us.

00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:39.960
 How will

00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:40.560
 we know

00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:43.879
 that the

00:20:43.879 --> 00:20:44.379
 Spirit is

00:20:44.379 --> 00:20:45.119
 moving in

00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:45.619
 our midst?

00:20:47.779 --> 00:20:48.500
 Will people

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:49.480
 start prophesying?

00:20:50.139 --> 00:20:50.720
 Speaking in

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:51.039
 tongues?

00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:52.179
 Will there be

00:20:52.179 --> 00:20:52.460
 healing?

00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:53.599
 Perhaps.

00:20:54.579 --> 00:20:54.819
 We'd

00:20:54.819 --> 00:20:55.319
 welcome that.

00:20:58.339 --> 00:20:59.399
 But the

00:20:59.399 --> 00:21:00.099
 onus of this

00:21:00.099 --> 00:21:01.059
 passage and

00:21:01.059 --> 00:21:01.399
 of the New

00:21:01.399 --> 00:21:03.460
 Testament is

00:21:03.460 --> 00:21:04.000
 that when the

00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:04.619
 Spirit of God

00:21:04.619 --> 00:21:05.519
 is moving in

00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:07.139
 the midst of

00:21:07.139 --> 00:21:08.139
 His sons and

00:21:08.139 --> 00:21:08.500
 daughters,

00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:11.920
 the hallmark

00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:13.339
 of the

00:21:13.339 --> 00:21:13.779
 Spirit's

00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:14.279
 activity

00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:17.839
 is freedom.

00:21:19.460 --> 00:21:20.160
 When the

00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:20.819
 Holy Spirit

00:21:20.819 --> 00:21:21.660
 moves on

00:21:21.660 --> 00:21:22.400
 us and

00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:23.279
 applies the

00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:23.920
 finished work

00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:24.500
 of Christ

00:21:24.500 --> 00:21:25.279
 to us in

00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:25.680
 greater and

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:26.299
 greater measure

00:21:26.299 --> 00:21:27.140
 and we are

00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:27.759
 experiencing

00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:28.339
 greater and

00:21:28.339 --> 00:21:29.200
 greater measures

00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:29.759
 of freedom

00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:30.759
 to not be

00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:31.720
 ruled by sin,

00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:32.579
 to not be

00:21:32.579 --> 00:21:33.440
 ruled by fear,

00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:34.359
 but to be

00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:35.460
 ruled by grace

00:21:35.460 --> 00:21:37.680
 and to live

00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:38.680
 our lives

00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:40.240
 out of the

00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:41.680
 freedom purchased

00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:42.559
 for us by

00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:43.600
 Christ, the

00:21:43.600 --> 00:21:44.600
 Holy Spirit is

00:21:44.600 --> 00:21:45.180
 seeking to do

00:21:45.180 --> 00:21:46.160
 that in our

00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:47.579
 midst so we

00:21:47.579 --> 00:21:48.340
 don't need to

00:21:48.340 --> 00:21:48.900
 go back to

00:21:48.900 --> 00:21:49.440
 legalism.

00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:53.539
 So the first

00:21:53.539 --> 00:21:54.380
 reason why we

00:21:54.380 --> 00:21:55.220
 must not revert

00:21:55.220 --> 00:21:56.079
 back to a

00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:57.660
 legalism is

00:21:57.660 --> 00:22:00.620
 that we are

00:22:00.620 --> 00:22:01.259
 God's new

00:22:01.259 --> 00:22:02.279
 covenant people

00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:03.160
 indwelt by the

00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:03.420
 Spirit.

00:22:03.539 --> 00:22:04.000
 Isn't that good

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:04.259
 news?

00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:07.359
 Here is the

00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:07.960
 second reason.

00:22:08.900 --> 00:22:09.440
 The second

00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:10.119
 reason is in

00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:11.359
 verses 6

00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:12.579
 through 9.

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:12.940
 Now it is

00:22:12.940 --> 00:22:13.759
 unfortunate in

00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:15.799
 the ESV that

00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:17.660
 verse 6 is

00:22:17.660 --> 00:22:18.279
 at the end of

00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:18.819
 a paragraph

00:22:18.819 --> 00:22:21.220
 after verse 5

00:22:21.220 --> 00:22:22.720
 when verse 6

00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:23.440
 should actually

00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:24.799
 begin beginning

00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:25.579
 the paragraph

00:22:25.579 --> 00:22:27.039
 before verse 7.

00:22:27.740 --> 00:22:28.119
 And so that

00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:29.339
 question mark at

00:22:29.339 --> 00:22:29.660
 the end of

00:22:29.660 --> 00:22:30.700
 verse 6 should

00:22:30.700 --> 00:22:32.339
 be following the

00:22:32.339 --> 00:22:33.160
 word faith at

00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:33.480
 the end of

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:34.240
 verse 5 because

00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:35.240
 Paul is making

00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:35.940
 a really important

00:22:35.940 --> 00:22:36.220
 argument.

00:22:36.339 --> 00:22:36.539
 I am going to

00:22:36.539 --> 00:22:37.140
 help you to

00:22:37.140 --> 00:22:37.599
 see that.

00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:40.420
 But here is the

00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:41.039
 second reason

00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:41.539
 why.

00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:44.180
 Brothers and

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:44.559
 sisters,

00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:46.359
 Gentile brothers

00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:47.019
 and sisters,

00:22:48.019 --> 00:22:49.960
 the second

00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:50.859
 reason why we

00:22:50.859 --> 00:22:51.359
 don't go back

00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:52.339
 to legalism is

00:22:52.339 --> 00:22:54.420
 we are sons and

00:22:54.420 --> 00:22:55.620
 daughters of

00:22:55.620 --> 00:22:55.980
 Abraham.

00:22:57.420 --> 00:22:58.299
 And Abraham

00:22:58.299 --> 00:22:59.240
 was no

00:22:59.240 --> 00:22:59.779
 legalist.

00:22:59.779 --> 00:23:00.779
 father Abraham.

00:23:00.779 --> 00:23:03.139
 Maybe you have

00:23:03.139 --> 00:23:03.720
 heard that

00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:04.599
 familiar song,

00:23:05.339 --> 00:23:06.420
 classic Sunday

00:23:06.420 --> 00:23:07.220
 school hit.

00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:09.160
 Father Abraham.

00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:11.259
 Sing with me.

00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:13.059
 Father Abraham

00:23:13.059 --> 00:23:14.720
 had many sons

00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:16.240
 and many sons

00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:17.420
 had father

00:23:17.420 --> 00:23:18.039
 Abraham.

00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:19.740
 I am one of

00:23:19.740 --> 00:23:20.859
 them and so

00:23:20.859 --> 00:23:21.440
 are you.

00:23:21.879 --> 00:23:23.319
 So let's all

00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:24.160
 praise the

00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:24.720
 Lord.

00:23:26.019 --> 00:23:26.940
 Let me ask you

00:23:26.940 --> 00:23:27.120
 this.

00:23:27.940 --> 00:23:28.680
 How is it

00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:30.640
 that Gentiles

00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:32.360
 living in the

00:23:32.360 --> 00:23:33.420
 21st century

00:23:33.420 --> 00:23:35.240
 can say

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:36.519
 we are

00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:36.960
 somehow

00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:37.940
 related to

00:23:37.940 --> 00:23:38.440
 Abraham

00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:39.620
 who lived

00:23:39.620 --> 00:23:40.720
 thousands of

00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:41.279
 years before

00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:42.299
 us and we

00:23:42.299 --> 00:23:43.259
 have no

00:23:43.259 --> 00:23:44.220
 common DNA?

00:23:45.360 --> 00:23:46.279
 How are we

00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:46.660
 related?

00:23:51.539 --> 00:23:52.140
 Amen.

00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:54.840
 In verse 6

00:23:54.840 --> 00:23:56.080
 we read this.

00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:57.660
 Just as

00:23:57.660 --> 00:23:59.140
 Abraham believed

00:23:59.140 --> 00:24:00.120
 God

00:24:00.120 --> 00:24:02.120
 and it was

00:24:02.120 --> 00:24:02.720
 counted to him

00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:03.320
 as righteousness.

00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:04.580
 Here's what

00:24:04.580 --> 00:24:05.759
 is being said

00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:07.340
 in Genesis 15

00:24:07.340 --> 00:24:07.680
 6.

00:24:07.780 --> 00:24:08.100
 That's the

00:24:08.100 --> 00:24:08.380
 quote.

00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:10.880
 God promised

00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:12.100
 that Abraham

00:24:12.100 --> 00:24:13.340
 would give

00:24:13.340 --> 00:24:15.460
 a descendant

00:24:15.460 --> 00:24:15.860
 would come

00:24:15.860 --> 00:24:16.500
 from despite

00:24:16.500 --> 00:24:17.360
 his old age

00:24:17.360 --> 00:24:18.259
 and God

00:24:18.259 --> 00:24:19.360
 would populate

00:24:19.360 --> 00:24:20.000
 the earth

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:20.380
 with his

00:24:20.380 --> 00:24:21.240
 descendants

00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:22.079
 as the

00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:22.680
 stars and

00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:23.160
 the heavens.

00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:24.660
 Abraham

00:24:24.660 --> 00:24:25.440
 believed that

00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:26.019
 promise

00:24:26.019 --> 00:24:28.019
 and God

00:24:28.019 --> 00:24:29.019
 credited

00:24:29.019 --> 00:24:30.480
 that belief

00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:31.480
 God

00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:32.160
 credited

00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:32.920
 it in

00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:33.620
 his sight

00:24:33.620 --> 00:24:34.400
 as

00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:35.299
 righteousness.

00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:37.920
 At that

00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:38.480
 moment

00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:40.039
 Abraham

00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:41.140
 was justified

00:24:41.140 --> 00:24:43.039
 made right

00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:43.620
 with God.

00:24:44.500 --> 00:24:45.039
 Nothing he

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:45.460
 did.

00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:46.400
 The law

00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:47.099
 had not come

00:24:47.099 --> 00:24:47.339
 yet.

00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:48.140
 He wasn't

00:24:48.140 --> 00:24:49.099
 circumcised.

00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:52.740
 He believed

00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:53.259
 and God

00:24:53.259 --> 00:24:53.779
 said you're

00:24:53.779 --> 00:24:54.299
 right with

00:24:54.299 --> 00:24:54.620
 me

00:24:54.620 --> 00:24:56.420
 because you

00:24:56.420 --> 00:24:57.120
 trust me.

00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:00.120
 And so the

00:25:00.120 --> 00:25:00.680
 argument goes

00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:01.319
 like this.

00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:03.259
 Just as

00:25:03.259 --> 00:25:04.059
 Abraham was

00:25:04.059 --> 00:25:04.799
 justified by

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:05.279
 faith

00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:06.680
 verse 6

00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:07.440
 7

00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:08.460
 no

00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:09.880
 believe it

00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:10.660
 bank on

00:25:10.660 --> 00:25:11.019
 it

00:25:11.019 --> 00:25:12.880
 know then

00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:13.599
 that it is

00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:14.220
 those

00:25:14.220 --> 00:25:15.240
 anyone

00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:17.039
 of faith

00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:18.120
 anyone

00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:19.359
 who believes

00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:19.619
 in the

00:25:19.619 --> 00:25:19.839
 finished

00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:20.259
 work of

00:25:20.259 --> 00:25:20.739
 Christ

00:25:20.739 --> 00:25:21.619
 know

00:25:21.619 --> 00:25:22.500
 that it

00:25:22.500 --> 00:25:22.839
 is

00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:23.439
 those

00:25:23.439 --> 00:25:23.639
 of

00:25:23.639 --> 00:25:23.979
 faith

00:25:23.979 --> 00:25:24.679
 who are

00:25:24.679 --> 00:25:25.079
 the

00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:25.479
 real

00:25:25.479 --> 00:25:25.899
 sons

00:25:25.899 --> 00:25:26.059
 of

00:25:26.059 --> 00:25:26.459
 Abraham.

00:25:27.059 --> 00:25:27.199
 Do you

00:25:27.199 --> 00:25:27.479
 know what's

00:25:27.479 --> 00:25:27.839
 going on

00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:28.299
 in Galatia?

00:25:29.199 --> 00:25:29.699
 Here's these

00:25:29.699 --> 00:25:30.239
 false teachers

00:25:30.239 --> 00:25:30.500
 who are

00:25:30.500 --> 00:25:31.239
 saying oh

00:25:31.239 --> 00:25:31.539
 you want

00:25:31.539 --> 00:25:31.879
 to be a

00:25:31.879 --> 00:25:32.199
 son or

00:25:32.199 --> 00:25:32.619
 daughter of

00:25:32.619 --> 00:25:32.899
 Abraham?

00:25:33.299 --> 00:25:33.779
 Oh you

00:25:33.779 --> 00:25:33.959
 need to

00:25:33.959 --> 00:25:34.079
 get

00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:34.619
 circumcised.

00:25:35.419 --> 00:25:35.679
 Oh you

00:25:35.679 --> 00:25:35.879
 need to

00:25:35.879 --> 00:25:36.359
 eat kosher.

00:25:37.099 --> 00:25:37.719
 Oh really?

00:25:37.919 --> 00:25:38.079
 Oh you

00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:38.319
 need to

00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:38.979
 observe Jewish

00:25:38.979 --> 00:25:39.379
 holidays.

00:25:39.779 --> 00:25:40.059
 And Paul

00:25:40.059 --> 00:25:40.419
 is saying

00:25:40.419 --> 00:25:41.159
 no no

00:25:41.159 --> 00:25:41.539
 no.

00:25:41.539 --> 00:25:44.500
 a true

00:25:44.500 --> 00:25:44.940
 son or

00:25:44.940 --> 00:25:45.379
 daughter of

00:25:45.379 --> 00:25:45.740
 Abraham

00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:47.619
 is one

00:25:47.619 --> 00:25:48.379
 who doesn't

00:25:48.379 --> 00:25:49.200
 perform the

00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:49.659
 law to be

00:25:49.659 --> 00:25:50.119
 justified.

00:25:51.379 --> 00:25:52.139
 A true

00:25:52.139 --> 00:25:52.500
 son or

00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:52.859
 daughter of

00:25:52.859 --> 00:25:53.200
 Abraham

00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:54.759
 is justified

00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:55.559
 by faith.

00:25:58.579 --> 00:25:59.180
 Abraham

00:25:59.180 --> 00:25:59.700
 was no

00:25:59.700 --> 00:26:00.259
 legalist

00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:02.019
 and we

00:26:02.019 --> 00:26:02.559
 as his

00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:03.019
 sons and

00:26:03.019 --> 00:26:03.339
 daughters

00:26:03.339 --> 00:26:03.940
 are no

00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:04.480
 legalists

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:04.839
 either.

00:26:05.420 --> 00:26:05.980
 What has

00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:06.359
 made us

00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:06.879
 right with

00:26:06.879 --> 00:26:07.519
 God is

00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:08.259
 not what

00:26:08.259 --> 00:26:08.899
 we do

00:26:08.899 --> 00:26:09.619
 it's what

00:26:09.619 --> 00:26:10.319
 Christ has

00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:10.680
 done.

00:26:11.539 --> 00:26:15.700
 And you

00:26:15.700 --> 00:26:15.980
 know what?

00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:16.720
 It gets

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.000
 better.

00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:17.299
 Look at

00:26:17.299 --> 00:26:17.720
 verse 8.

00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:19.960
 And the

00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:20.299
 scripture

00:26:20.299 --> 00:26:21.559
 foreseeing

00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:22.000
 that God

00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:22.680
 would justify

00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:23.379
 the Gentiles

00:26:23.379 --> 00:26:24.039
 by faith

00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:24.940
 preached the

00:26:24.940 --> 00:26:25.859
 gospel beforehand

00:26:25.859 --> 00:26:26.500
 to Abraham

00:26:26.500 --> 00:26:27.619
 saying in

00:26:27.619 --> 00:26:28.259
 you shall all

00:26:28.259 --> 00:26:28.680
 the nations

00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:29.180
 be blessed.

00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:30.180
 Literally in

00:26:30.180 --> 00:26:30.899
 you shall all

00:26:30.899 --> 00:26:31.619
 the Gentiles

00:26:31.619 --> 00:26:32.180
 be blessed.

00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:35.200
 Is that

00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:35.440
 in my

00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:35.720
 Bible?

00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:37.740
 Is that

00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:38.079
 in your

00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:38.420
 Bible?

00:26:39.700 --> 00:26:39.960
 Do you

00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:40.180
 know what

00:26:40.180 --> 00:26:40.399
 that's

00:26:40.399 --> 00:26:40.720
 saying?

00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:43.319
 The gospel

00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:45.339
 that justifies

00:26:45.339 --> 00:26:46.000
 people by

00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:47.559
 faith has

00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:48.399
 been God's

00:26:48.399 --> 00:26:50.039
 plan all

00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:51.180
 along.

00:26:52.379 --> 00:26:54.240
 Way back

00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:54.920
 in Genesis

00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:58.159
 the scriptures

00:26:58.159 --> 00:26:59.700
 were preaching

00:26:59.700 --> 00:27:00.420
 the gospel

00:27:00.420 --> 00:27:01.940
 to Abraham

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:03.500
 saying not

00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:04.339
 by works

00:27:04.339 --> 00:27:05.799
 but by faith

00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:06.440
 in what God

00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:06.879
 has done.

00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:13.180
 So what

00:27:13.180 --> 00:27:13.540
 that means

00:27:13.540 --> 00:27:14.120
 for us

00:27:14.120 --> 00:27:15.960
 is that

00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:16.560
 we are

00:27:16.560 --> 00:27:17.120
 sons and

00:27:17.120 --> 00:27:17.440
 daughters

00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:18.120
 of Abraham

00:27:18.120 --> 00:27:19.740
 not because

00:27:19.740 --> 00:27:20.940
 we're

00:27:20.940 --> 00:27:21.460
 obeying

00:27:21.460 --> 00:27:22.120
 the law

00:27:22.120 --> 00:27:23.500
 but because

00:27:23.500 --> 00:27:23.940
 we've been

00:27:23.940 --> 00:27:24.380
 justified

00:27:24.380 --> 00:27:25.220
 by faith

00:27:25.220 --> 00:27:26.060
 and that

00:27:26.060 --> 00:27:26.620
 was God's

00:27:26.620 --> 00:27:27.380
 plan all

00:27:27.380 --> 00:27:27.920
 along.

00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:29.500
 Next week

00:27:29.500 --> 00:27:30.240
 we're going

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:30.620
 to see

00:27:30.620 --> 00:27:31.580
 the fireworks

00:27:31.580 --> 00:27:33.520
 of how

00:27:33.520 --> 00:27:34.360
 this blessing

00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:35.099
 has come

00:27:35.099 --> 00:27:35.779
 to us

00:27:35.779 --> 00:27:36.139
 as

00:27:36.139 --> 00:27:36.899
 Gentiles.

00:27:39.819 --> 00:27:40.759
 But here's

00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:41.219
 the intended

00:27:41.219 --> 00:27:41.659
 effect.

00:27:43.659 --> 00:27:44.639
 Because God

00:27:44.639 --> 00:27:45.179
 has always

00:27:45.179 --> 00:27:45.599
 intended

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:46.439
 Gentiles

00:27:46.439 --> 00:27:46.819
 to be

00:27:46.819 --> 00:27:47.079
 fully

00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:47.659
 included

00:27:47.659 --> 00:27:48.199
 into his

00:27:48.199 --> 00:27:48.699
 new covenant

00:27:48.699 --> 00:27:49.199
 people

00:27:49.199 --> 00:27:49.819
 sons and

00:27:49.819 --> 00:27:50.079
 daughters

00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:50.659
 of Abraham

00:27:50.659 --> 00:27:52.779
 and it's

00:27:52.779 --> 00:27:53.139
 always

00:27:53.139 --> 00:27:54.379
 by faith

00:27:54.379 --> 00:27:56.959
 there's

00:27:56.959 --> 00:27:57.799
 no distinction

00:27:57.799 --> 00:27:58.519
 among God's

00:27:58.519 --> 00:27:58.819
 people.

00:27:58.819 --> 00:28:01.559
 the issue

00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:02.000
 isn't if

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:02.299
 you're a

00:28:02.299 --> 00:28:02.599
 Jew or

00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:03.179
 Gentile

00:28:03.179 --> 00:28:04.720
 the issue

00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:06.059
 is how

00:28:06.059 --> 00:28:06.379
 you've

00:28:06.379 --> 00:28:06.859
 responded

00:28:06.859 --> 00:28:07.439
 to Christ

00:28:07.439 --> 00:28:08.039
 crucified.

00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:09.960
 Have you

00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:10.439
 believed

00:28:10.439 --> 00:28:10.799
 that?

00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:13.319
 Have you

00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:14.019
 trusted in

00:28:14.019 --> 00:28:14.240
 that?

00:28:14.639 --> 00:28:15.039
 And so in

00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:15.480
 this first

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:16.000
 century

00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:16.700
 Galatia

00:28:16.700 --> 00:28:17.579
 the issue

00:28:17.579 --> 00:28:18.539
 was these

00:28:18.539 --> 00:28:19.859
 Christian

00:28:19.859 --> 00:28:20.599
 Jews were

00:28:20.599 --> 00:28:21.559
 saying hey

00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:21.879
 we're kind

00:28:21.879 --> 00:28:22.240
 of first

00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:22.579
 class

00:28:22.579 --> 00:28:23.059
 Christians

00:28:23.059 --> 00:28:23.579
 I mean

00:28:23.579 --> 00:28:24.759
 we're

00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:25.119
 Jews

00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:26.779
 and

00:28:26.779 --> 00:28:28.240
 Gentiles

00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:28.680
 were being

00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:29.120
 thought of

00:28:29.120 --> 00:28:29.440
 as kind

00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:29.700
 of a

00:28:29.700 --> 00:28:30.039
 second

00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:30.539
 class

00:28:30.539 --> 00:28:31.079
 Christian

00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:31.799
 and what

00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:32.440
 was happening

00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:33.220
 was in

00:28:33.220 --> 00:28:33.759
 order for

00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:34.680
 a Gentile

00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:35.299
 to become

00:28:35.299 --> 00:28:35.960
 a Christian

00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:36.599
 they needed

00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:37.039
 to become

00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:37.680
 a Jew

00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:41.759
 and what

00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:42.240
 Paul is

00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:42.579
 saying here

00:28:42.579 --> 00:28:42.900
 is no

00:28:42.900 --> 00:28:44.519
 no you got

00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:44.880
 the whole

00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:45.319
 sons and

00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:45.740
 daughters of

00:28:45.740 --> 00:28:46.359
 Abraham thing

00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:46.680
 wrong.

00:28:47.019 --> 00:28:47.460
 According to

00:28:47.460 --> 00:28:48.140
 my Bible

00:28:48.140 --> 00:28:49.240
 Paul says

00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:51.200
 what justified

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:53.120
 Abraham was

00:28:53.120 --> 00:28:53.539
 his faith.

00:28:54.019 --> 00:28:54.700
 So anybody

00:28:54.700 --> 00:28:55.839
 who has

00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:57.259
 faith in

00:28:57.259 --> 00:28:58.019
 God will

00:28:58.019 --> 00:28:58.700
 be justified

00:28:58.700 --> 00:28:59.500
 by God

00:28:59.500 --> 00:29:01.639
 and therefore

00:29:01.639 --> 00:29:02.759
 the difference

00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:03.720
 between Jew

00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:04.460
 and Gentile

00:29:04.460 --> 00:29:04.759
 if you're

00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:05.359
 believers in

00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:05.720
 Christ

00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:08.500
 it's not a

00:29:08.500 --> 00:29:09.619
 big difference

00:29:09.619 --> 00:29:11.119
 because the

00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:11.759
 issue is

00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:12.119
 Jesus.

00:29:15.099 --> 00:29:15.599
 Now

00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:17.639
 today

00:29:17.639 --> 00:29:20.660
 in our

00:29:20.660 --> 00:29:21.220
 congregation

00:29:21.220 --> 00:29:23.059
 we're not

00:29:23.059 --> 00:29:23.759
 having fights

00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:24.160
 over

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:25.940
 who's

00:29:25.940 --> 00:29:26.379
 Jewish

00:29:26.380 --> 00:29:27.260
 who's

00:29:27.260 --> 00:29:27.860
 Gentile

00:29:27.860 --> 00:29:28.340
 and what

00:29:28.340 --> 00:29:28.620
 does that

00:29:28.620 --> 00:29:28.960
 mean for

00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:29.280
 us.

00:29:31.020 --> 00:29:31.680
 But

00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:32.920
 we deal

00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:33.680
 with other

00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:34.240
 issues.

00:29:35.220 --> 00:29:36.000
 We deal

00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:36.760
 with other

00:29:36.760 --> 00:29:37.400
 kinds of

00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:37.920
 differences

00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:39.700
 other

00:29:39.700 --> 00:29:40.640
 distinctions

00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:41.400
 that are

00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:41.860
 made

00:29:41.860 --> 00:29:43.080
 and they

00:29:43.080 --> 00:29:43.720
 can fall

00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:44.340
 along a

00:29:44.340 --> 00:29:45.160
 very similar

00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:46.540
 first class

00:29:46.540 --> 00:29:47.880
 second class

00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:48.880
 Christian kind

00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:49.560
 of line.

00:29:50.760 --> 00:29:51.640
 Now I'm not

00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:52.000
 going to go

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:53.279
 into all

00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:53.859
 of the

00:29:53.859 --> 00:29:54.279
 differences

00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:55.359
 but here's

00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:56.099
 one that

00:29:56.099 --> 00:29:56.339
 you need

00:29:56.339 --> 00:29:56.539
 to be

00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:57.119
 aware of.

00:29:58.700 --> 00:29:59.400
 There can

00:29:59.400 --> 00:29:59.740
 be a

00:29:59.740 --> 00:30:00.279
 difference

00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:01.859
 between

00:30:01.859 --> 00:30:03.220
 churchy

00:30:03.220 --> 00:30:03.599
 people

00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:05.440
 and

00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:06.900
 non-church

00:30:06.900 --> 00:30:07.380
 people.

00:30:08.859 --> 00:30:09.079
 And

00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:09.980
 churchy

00:30:09.980 --> 00:30:10.400
 people are

00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:11.000
 those people

00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:11.440
 who've spent

00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:11.839
 a lot of

00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:12.400
 time going

00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:12.900
 to church.

00:30:13.339 --> 00:30:13.960
 They are

00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:15.480
 the religious

00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:16.480
 insiders.

00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:18.240
 They've got

00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:19.200
 I'm one

00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:19.500
 of them

00:30:19.500 --> 00:30:20.079
 churchy

00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:20.700
 language

00:30:20.700 --> 00:30:21.620
 churchy

00:30:21.620 --> 00:30:22.480
 expectations

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:23.559
 kind of a

00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:23.960
 churchy

00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:24.640
 schedule that

00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:25.019
 they live

00:30:25.019 --> 00:30:25.759
 off of.

00:30:27.620 --> 00:30:28.519
 And so

00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:29.200
 these

00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:29.759
 churchy

00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:30.299
 people which

00:30:30.299 --> 00:30:30.660
 I would

00:30:30.660 --> 00:30:31.359
 count myself

00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:31.839
 one of

00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:33.680
 what can

00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:34.500
 happen is

00:30:34.500 --> 00:30:35.240
 we can

00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:35.759
 think that

00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:36.759
 we got it

00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:37.200
 down.

00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:39.180
 And in

00:30:39.180 --> 00:30:39.519
 order for

00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:39.920
 someone to

00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:40.339
 become a

00:30:40.339 --> 00:30:40.799
 Christian they

00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:41.059
 got to

00:30:41.059 --> 00:30:41.380
 become

00:30:41.380 --> 00:30:42.339
 churchy

00:30:42.339 --> 00:30:43.299
 like us.

00:30:44.420 --> 00:30:44.779
 And so

00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:45.160
 there's this

00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:45.759
 other group

00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:46.319
 of people

00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:47.220
 people who

00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:47.859
 have not

00:30:47.859 --> 00:30:48.639
 spent most

00:30:48.639 --> 00:30:48.939
 of their

00:30:48.939 --> 00:30:49.759
 lives inside

00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:50.219
 the church

00:30:50.219 --> 00:30:51.000
 but outside

00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:51.619
 of the church

00:30:51.619 --> 00:30:52.500
 and all of a

00:30:52.500 --> 00:30:52.899
 sudden when

00:30:52.899 --> 00:30:53.240
 they're around

00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:53.939
 churchy people

00:30:53.939 --> 00:30:54.759
 they can feel

00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:55.279
 like they're a

00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:55.659
 religious

00:30:55.659 --> 00:30:56.359
 outsider.

00:30:58.419 --> 00:30:59.279
 And they can

00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:00.119
 start drawing

00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:00.639
 the false

00:31:00.639 --> 00:31:01.659
 conclusion that

00:31:01.659 --> 00:31:02.539
 in order for

00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:03.199
 me to become

00:31:03.199 --> 00:31:03.699
 a Christian

00:31:03.699 --> 00:31:04.399
 I need to

00:31:04.399 --> 00:31:05.240
 become churchy.

00:31:09.719 --> 00:31:10.379
 But the

00:31:10.379 --> 00:31:11.139
 gospel says

00:31:11.139 --> 00:31:12.000
 none of that

00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:12.500
 business

00:31:12.500 --> 00:31:15.339
 because that

00:31:15.339 --> 00:31:16.379
 is not

00:31:16.379 --> 00:31:17.539
 what makes

00:31:17.539 --> 00:31:19.000
 one a

00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:19.379
 Christian

00:31:19.379 --> 00:31:19.920
 or not.

00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:21.759
 What makes

00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.899
 one a

00:31:22.899 --> 00:31:23.279
 Christian

00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:24.240
 is not if

00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:24.420
 they're

00:31:24.420 --> 00:31:25.159
 churchy or

00:31:25.159 --> 00:31:25.460
 not

00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:26.460
 it's how

00:31:26.460 --> 00:31:26.960
 you have

00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:27.759
 responded to

00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:28.859
 Christ crucified.

00:31:29.940 --> 00:31:30.579
 Of whether

00:31:30.579 --> 00:31:31.019
 or not you

00:31:31.019 --> 00:31:31.720
 have believed

00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:32.159
 that

00:31:32.159 --> 00:31:33.899
 alone

00:31:33.899 --> 00:31:35.119
 for your

00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:35.740
 salvation.

00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:37.720
 So the

00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:38.319
 issue is not

00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:38.759
 whether or not

00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:39.680
 you've been

00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:40.240
 growing up in

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:40.639
 the church

00:31:40.639 --> 00:31:41.259
 or not

00:31:41.259 --> 00:31:42.059
 the issue

00:31:42.059 --> 00:31:43.039
 is if you're

00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:43.940
 justified by

00:31:43.940 --> 00:31:44.920
 faith or not

00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:45.759
 of whether

00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:46.259
 or not

00:31:46.259 --> 00:31:46.740
 you're a

00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:47.259
 son or

00:31:47.259 --> 00:31:47.580
 daughter

00:31:47.580 --> 00:31:48.880
 of Abraham.

00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:52.519
 So in

00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:53.140
 verse 9 we

00:31:53.140 --> 00:31:53.519
 have this

00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:54.300
 summary statement.

00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:55.880
 So then

00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:56.539
 those who are

00:31:56.539 --> 00:31:57.660
 of faith

00:31:57.660 --> 00:31:58.580
 justified by

00:31:58.580 --> 00:31:59.640
 faith they

00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:00.500
 are blessed

00:32:00.500 --> 00:32:01.080
 along with

00:32:01.080 --> 00:32:02.620
 Abraham who

00:32:02.620 --> 00:32:04.019
 also exercised

00:32:04.019 --> 00:32:04.420
 faith.

00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:05.640
 And that

00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:06.680
 word blessed

00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:08.300
 is carrying

00:32:08.300 --> 00:32:09.039
 with it

00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:09.720
 Paul is

00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:10.980
 connecting the

00:32:10.980 --> 00:32:11.900
 blessing of God

00:32:11.900 --> 00:32:12.560
 in Galatians

00:32:12.560 --> 00:32:13.200
 with us

00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:14.180
 being justified

00:32:14.180 --> 00:32:15.160
 by God

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:15.700
 according to

00:32:15.700 --> 00:32:16.220
 our faith.

00:32:17.740 --> 00:32:18.580
 So what he's

00:32:18.580 --> 00:32:19.259
 saying is here

00:32:19.259 --> 00:32:20.519
 is we don't

00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:21.320
 revert back

00:32:21.320 --> 00:32:22.080
 to legalism

00:32:22.080 --> 00:32:24.220
 because we're

00:32:24.220 --> 00:32:24.800
 sons and

00:32:24.800 --> 00:32:25.320
 daughters of

00:32:25.320 --> 00:32:26.940
 Abraham and

00:32:26.940 --> 00:32:28.160
 he wasn't a

00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:28.700
 legalist.

00:32:28.860 --> 00:32:29.880
 He was justified

00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:30.580
 by faith.

00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:31.820
 We are the

00:32:31.820 --> 00:32:33.360
 legit sons

00:32:33.360 --> 00:32:33.860
 and daughters

00:32:33.860 --> 00:32:34.540
 of Abraham.

00:32:36.940 --> 00:32:37.580
 Members

00:32:37.580 --> 00:32:38.640
 of God's

00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:39.240
 new covenant

00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:39.759
 people.

00:32:41.900 --> 00:32:42.560
 That's the

00:32:42.560 --> 00:32:43.120
 second reason.

00:32:44.180 --> 00:32:44.600
 Don't go

00:32:44.600 --> 00:32:45.740
 back in

00:32:45.740 --> 00:32:46.300
 light of the

00:32:46.300 --> 00:32:46.880
 gospel of

00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:49.180
 grace that

00:32:49.180 --> 00:32:49.540
 has made

00:32:49.540 --> 00:32:50.080
 you a son

00:32:50.080 --> 00:32:50.460
 or daughter

00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:50.820
 of Abraham.

00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:51.440
 Don't go

00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:51.860
 back.

00:32:54.220 --> 00:32:54.960
 The third

00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:57.300
 reason why

00:32:57.300 --> 00:32:57.759
 we don't go

00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:58.320
 back to

00:32:58.320 --> 00:32:59.580
 legalism trying

00:32:59.580 --> 00:33:00.259
 to finish

00:33:00.259 --> 00:33:01.660
 what God

00:33:01.660 --> 00:33:02.120
 has begun

00:33:02.120 --> 00:33:03.960
 in us is

00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:04.540
 third reasons

00:33:04.540 --> 00:33:05.019
 found in

00:33:05.019 --> 00:33:05.540
 verses 10

00:33:05.540 --> 00:33:06.080
 through 14.

00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:10.340
 It goes

00:33:10.340 --> 00:33:10.840
 something like

00:33:10.840 --> 00:33:11.200
 this.

00:33:11.900 --> 00:33:12.900
 We don't

00:33:12.900 --> 00:33:13.540
 go back

00:33:13.540 --> 00:33:15.340
 because we

00:33:15.340 --> 00:33:16.000
 who were

00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:16.660
 under a

00:33:16.660 --> 00:33:17.600
 curse, that

00:33:17.600 --> 00:33:18.460
 curse has

00:33:18.460 --> 00:33:18.840
 put on

00:33:18.840 --> 00:33:19.880
 Christ and

00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:20.500
 the blessing

00:33:20.500 --> 00:33:21.220
 in Christ

00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:21.680
 has been

00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:22.019
 given to

00:33:22.019 --> 00:33:22.400
 us.

00:33:23.340 --> 00:33:24.140
 Don't go

00:33:24.140 --> 00:33:24.560
 back.

00:33:24.900 --> 00:33:25.300
 Another way

00:33:25.300 --> 00:33:25.640
 to say it

00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:26.080
 is this.

00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:27.880
 Legalism

00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:28.940
 leads to

00:33:28.940 --> 00:33:29.900
 being cursed

00:33:29.900 --> 00:33:30.800
 and that

00:33:30.800 --> 00:33:31.740
 curse was

00:33:31.740 --> 00:33:32.280
 put on

00:33:32.280 --> 00:33:33.000
 Christ's

00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:33.680
 head so

00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:34.320
 don't go

00:33:34.320 --> 00:33:34.860
 back to

00:33:34.860 --> 00:33:35.960
 legalism for

00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:36.600
 which Christ

00:33:36.600 --> 00:33:37.340
 was cursed.

00:33:37.339 --> 00:33:42.039
 all

00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:42.279
 throughout

00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:42.539
 this

00:33:42.539 --> 00:33:42.959
 passage

00:33:42.959 --> 00:33:43.480
 Paul is

00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:44.139
 appealing

00:33:44.139 --> 00:33:44.359
 to

00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:44.939
 multiple

00:33:44.939 --> 00:33:45.259
 Old

00:33:45.259 --> 00:33:45.579
 Testament

00:33:45.579 --> 00:33:46.139
 passages.

00:33:46.379 --> 00:33:46.699
 In this

00:33:46.699 --> 00:33:47.059
 section

00:33:47.059 --> 00:33:47.419
 in 10

00:33:47.419 --> 00:33:47.980
 through 14

00:33:47.980 --> 00:33:48.980
 there are

00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:49.559
 multiple

00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:50.179
 Old Testament

00:33:50.179 --> 00:33:50.759
 passages

00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:51.220
 that he

00:33:51.220 --> 00:33:51.740
 appeals to.

00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:54.419
 So in

00:33:54.419 --> 00:33:54.879
 verse 10

00:33:54.879 --> 00:33:55.319
 he says

00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:55.779
 for all

00:33:55.779 --> 00:33:56.339
 who rely

00:33:56.339 --> 00:33:56.639
 on the

00:33:56.639 --> 00:33:56.899
 works

00:33:56.899 --> 00:33:57.159
 of the

00:33:57.159 --> 00:33:57.359
 law

00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:57.799
 are under

00:33:57.799 --> 00:33:58.179
 a curse.

00:33:58.619 --> 00:33:58.759
 Now

00:33:58.759 --> 00:33:59.319
 those

00:33:59.319 --> 00:33:59.819
 who rely

00:33:59.819 --> 00:34:00.079
 on the

00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:00.319
 works

00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:00.559
 of the

00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:00.759
 law

00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:01.279
 are in

00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:01.720
 contrast

00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:02.139
 to

00:34:02.139 --> 00:34:02.859
 verse 9

00:34:02.859 --> 00:34:03.759
 those

00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:04.059
 who are

00:34:04.059 --> 00:34:04.479
 of faith

00:34:04.479 --> 00:34:05.139
 are blessed

00:34:05.139 --> 00:34:05.539
 with

00:34:05.539 --> 00:34:06.000
 Abraham.

00:34:06.979 --> 00:34:07.619
 So those

00:34:07.619 --> 00:34:08.279
 who are

00:34:08.279 --> 00:34:09.039
 relying on

00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:09.400
 the law

00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:09.900
 are the

00:34:09.900 --> 00:34:10.779
 ones who

00:34:10.779 --> 00:34:12.219
 are actually

00:34:12.219 --> 00:34:13.119
 trusting in

00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:13.839
 their obedience

00:34:13.839 --> 00:34:14.460
 to make

00:34:14.460 --> 00:34:14.900
 them right

00:34:14.900 --> 00:34:15.480
 with God.

00:34:16.839 --> 00:34:17.179
 And he

00:34:17.179 --> 00:34:17.739
 says

00:34:17.739 --> 00:34:18.579
 for all

00:34:18.579 --> 00:34:19.059
 who rely

00:34:19.059 --> 00:34:19.279
 on the

00:34:19.279 --> 00:34:19.659
 works of

00:34:19.659 --> 00:34:19.980
 the law

00:34:19.980 --> 00:34:20.420
 are

00:34:20.420 --> 00:34:22.099
 blessed.

00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:22.980
 Man

00:34:22.980 --> 00:34:23.619
 that guy's

00:34:23.619 --> 00:34:23.940
 blessed.

00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:24.219
 You see

00:34:24.219 --> 00:34:24.500
 how much

00:34:24.500 --> 00:34:25.079
 he obeys?

00:34:26.859 --> 00:34:27.460
 It says

00:34:27.460 --> 00:34:27.739
 here

00:34:27.739 --> 00:34:28.219
 for all

00:34:28.219 --> 00:34:28.779
 who rely

00:34:28.779 --> 00:34:29.059
 on the

00:34:29.059 --> 00:34:29.440
 works of

00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:29.719
 the law

00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:30.059
 who are

00:34:30.059 --> 00:34:30.519
 trusting

00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:30.920
 in their

00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:31.199
 own

00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:31.519
 flesh

00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:31.900
 to make

00:34:31.900 --> 00:34:32.059
 them

00:34:32.059 --> 00:34:32.279
 right

00:34:32.279 --> 00:34:32.480
 with

00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:32.759
 God

00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:33.180
 they're

00:34:33.180 --> 00:34:33.440
 not

00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:33.940
 blessed

00:34:33.940 --> 00:34:34.240
 they're

00:34:34.240 --> 00:34:34.480
 under

00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:34.740
 a

00:34:34.740 --> 00:34:35.180
 curse.

00:34:37.660 --> 00:34:37.920
 And he

00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:39.200
 appeals to

00:34:39.200 --> 00:34:39.620
 Deuteronomy

00:34:39.620 --> 00:34:40.140
 27

00:34:40.140 --> 00:34:40.860
 26

00:34:40.860 --> 00:34:43.420
 for

00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:48.619
 up.

00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:50.240
 Quoting

00:36:50.240 --> 00:36:51.059
 Deuteronomy

00:36:51.059 --> 00:36:51.679
 27.

00:36:52.780 --> 00:36:53.139
 If you're

00:36:53.139 --> 00:36:53.380
 seeking

00:36:53.380 --> 00:36:53.960
 to justify

00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:54.599
 yourself

00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:56.559
 in your

00:36:56.559 --> 00:36:57.099
 flesh by

00:36:57.099 --> 00:36:57.539
 obeying

00:36:57.539 --> 00:36:57.980
 any

00:36:57.980 --> 00:36:58.579
 of God's

00:36:58.579 --> 00:36:58.820
 law

00:36:58.820 --> 00:36:59.679
 you are

00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:00.420
 obligated

00:37:00.420 --> 00:37:00.880
 to obey

00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:01.599
 all of

00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:01.940
 God's

00:37:01.940 --> 00:37:02.240
 law.

00:37:02.860 --> 00:37:03.199
 Which

00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:03.440
 means

00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:03.760
 this

00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:04.220
 if you

00:37:04.220 --> 00:37:04.440
 just

00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:04.699
 break

00:37:04.699 --> 00:37:05.000
 one

00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:05.139
 of

00:37:05.139 --> 00:37:05.440
 God's

00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:05.639
 law

00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:06.260
 you've

00:37:06.260 --> 00:37:06.539
 broken

00:37:06.539 --> 00:37:06.780
 the

00:37:06.780 --> 00:37:07.059
 whole

00:37:07.059 --> 00:37:07.440
 thing.

00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:10.360
 That's

00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:10.539
 why

00:37:10.539 --> 00:37:10.720
 he

00:37:10.720 --> 00:37:11.039
 says

00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:11.260
 you're

00:37:11.260 --> 00:37:11.500
 under

00:37:11.500 --> 00:37:11.740
 a

00:37:11.740 --> 00:37:12.119
 curse.

00:37:13.740 --> 00:37:14.340
 Even

00:37:14.340 --> 00:37:14.539
 if

00:37:14.539 --> 00:37:14.740
 you're

00:37:14.740 --> 00:37:15.000
 thinking

00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:15.300
 you're

00:37:15.300 --> 00:37:15.780
 obeying

00:37:15.780 --> 00:37:16.099
 God

00:37:16.099 --> 00:37:16.260
 in

00:37:16.260 --> 00:37:16.880
 these

00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:17.119
 three

00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:17.599
 commands

00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:19.420
 and

00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:19.800
 failing

00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:20.019
 to

00:37:20.019 --> 00:37:20.699
 obey

00:37:20.699 --> 00:37:21.079
 God

00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:21.220
 in

00:37:21.220 --> 00:37:21.440
 these

00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:21.699
 other

00:37:21.699 --> 00:37:22.800
 610

00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:23.360
 commands

00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:25.840
 you're

00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:26.000
 under

00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:26.179
 a

00:37:26.179 --> 00:37:26.539
 curse.

00:37:28.720 --> 00:37:29.320
 Failure

00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:29.940
 at any

00:37:29.940 --> 00:37:30.199
 point

00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:30.320
 in

00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:30.639
 God's

00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:30.920
 law

00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:31.800
 brings

00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:31.980
 us

00:37:31.980 --> 00:37:32.179
 under

00:37:32.179 --> 00:37:32.579
 failure

00:37:32.579 --> 00:37:32.820
 of

00:37:32.820 --> 00:37:33.119
 all

00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:33.260
 of

00:37:33.260 --> 00:37:33.619
 God's

00:37:33.619 --> 00:37:33.900
 law

00:37:33.900 --> 00:37:34.679
 which

00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:35.079
 means

00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:35.699
 we

00:37:35.699 --> 00:37:35.900
 are

00:37:35.900 --> 00:37:36.500
 condemned

00:37:36.500 --> 00:37:37.220
 by

00:37:37.220 --> 00:37:37.559
 God.

00:37:37.720 --> 00:37:37.940
 That's

00:37:37.940 --> 00:37:38.079
 in

00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:38.300
 verse

00:37:38.300 --> 00:37:39.220
 312

00:37:39.219 --> 00:37:39.899
 he says

00:37:39.899 --> 00:37:40.199
 but the

00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:40.399
 law

00:37:40.399 --> 00:37:40.559
 is

00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:40.719
 not

00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:40.839
 a

00:37:40.839 --> 00:37:41.039
 faith

00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:41.299
 rather

00:37:41.299 --> 00:37:41.480
 the

00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:41.679
 one

00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:41.839
 who

00:37:41.839 --> 00:37:42.119
 does

00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:42.319
 them

00:37:42.319 --> 00:37:42.539
 shall

00:37:42.539 --> 00:37:42.779
 live

00:37:42.779 --> 00:37:42.980
 by

00:37:42.980 --> 00:37:43.219
 them

00:37:43.219 --> 00:37:43.559
 all

00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:43.719
 of

00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:43.939
 them.

00:37:46.019 --> 00:37:46.579
 So

00:37:46.579 --> 00:37:46.759
 what

00:37:46.759 --> 00:37:47.000
 Paul

00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:47.159
 is

00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:47.419
 saying

00:37:47.419 --> 00:37:47.699
 here

00:37:47.699 --> 00:37:47.879
 is

00:37:47.879 --> 00:37:48.199
 this

00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:49.000
 don't

00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:49.139
 you

00:37:49.139 --> 00:37:49.599
 realize

00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:50.179
 Galatians

00:37:50.179 --> 00:37:50.799
 don't

00:37:50.799 --> 00:37:50.939
 you

00:37:50.939 --> 00:37:51.379
 realize

00:37:51.379 --> 00:37:51.679
 Christ

00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:51.839
 the

00:37:51.839 --> 00:37:51.980
 King

00:37:51.980 --> 00:37:52.339
 Church

00:37:52.339 --> 00:37:53.359
 that

00:37:53.359 --> 00:37:53.559
 by

00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:53.980
 trying

00:37:53.980 --> 00:37:54.199
 to

00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:54.679
 justify

00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:55.419
 yourself

00:37:55.419 --> 00:37:56.259
 by

00:37:56.259 --> 00:37:56.759
 obeying

00:37:56.759 --> 00:37:57.219
 any

00:37:57.219 --> 00:37:57.679
 command

00:37:57.679 --> 00:37:58.679
 obligates

00:37:58.679 --> 00:37:58.959
 you

00:37:58.959 --> 00:37:59.399
 to

00:37:59.399 --> 00:37:59.899
 all

00:37:59.899 --> 00:38:00.119
 of

00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:00.239
 the

00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:00.639
 commands

00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:01.019
 of

00:38:01.019 --> 00:38:01.339
 God

00:38:01.339 --> 00:38:02.000
 which

00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:02.539
 no

00:38:02.539 --> 00:38:02.719
 one

00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:03.099
 can

00:38:03.099 --> 00:38:03.619
 obey

00:38:03.619 --> 00:38:04.119
 and

00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:04.259
 are

00:38:04.259 --> 00:38:04.639
 therefore

00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:05.299
 under

00:38:05.299 --> 00:38:05.500
 a

00:38:05.500 --> 00:38:05.699
 curse

00:38:05.699 --> 00:38:05.959
 it's

00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:06.139
 not

00:38:06.139 --> 00:38:06.260
 that

00:38:06.260 --> 00:38:06.380
 you

00:38:06.380 --> 00:38:06.579
 just

00:38:06.579 --> 00:38:06.880
 can't

00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:07.179
 obey

00:38:07.179 --> 00:38:07.420
 it

00:38:07.420 --> 00:38:08.119
 you're

00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:08.460
 cursed

00:38:08.460 --> 00:38:08.699
 for

00:38:08.699 --> 00:38:09.220
 trying

00:38:09.220 --> 00:38:14.599
 so

00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:14.840
 here's

00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:14.960
 the

00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:15.260
 point

00:38:15.260 --> 00:38:16.720
 we

00:38:16.720 --> 00:38:17.079
 don't

00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:17.260
 go

00:38:17.260 --> 00:38:17.559
 back

00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:17.760
 to

00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:18.320
 legalism

00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:19.539
 because

00:38:19.539 --> 00:38:19.679
 it

00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:19.900
 only

00:38:19.900 --> 00:38:20.159
 leads

00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:20.360
 to

00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:20.960
 cursing

00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:25.199
 in

00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:25.380
 verse

00:38:25.380 --> 00:38:25.800
 11

00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:27.039
 here's

00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:27.220
 this

00:38:27.220 --> 00:38:27.500
 ray

00:38:27.500 --> 00:38:27.659
 of

00:38:27.659 --> 00:38:27.960
 light

00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:29.940
 now

00:38:29.940 --> 00:38:30.340
 it

00:38:30.340 --> 00:38:30.480
 is

00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:30.740
 evident

00:38:30.740 --> 00:38:30.980
 that

00:38:30.980 --> 00:38:31.220
 no

00:38:31.220 --> 00:38:31.400
 one

00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:31.619
 is

00:38:31.619 --> 00:38:32.119
 justified

00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:32.539
 before

00:38:32.539 --> 00:38:32.880
 God

00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:33.039
 by

00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:33.199
 the

00:38:33.199 --> 00:38:33.420
 law

00:38:33.420 --> 00:38:33.940
 for

00:38:33.940 --> 00:38:34.619
 the

00:38:34.619 --> 00:38:34.900
 righteous

00:38:34.900 --> 00:38:35.220
 shall

00:38:35.220 --> 00:38:35.400
 live

00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:35.579
 by

00:38:35.579 --> 00:38:35.820
 faith

00:38:35.820 --> 00:38:36.400
 Paul's

00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:36.559
 point

00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:36.700
 is

00:38:36.700 --> 00:38:36.920
 this

00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:37.680
 even

00:38:37.680 --> 00:38:38.039
 the

00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:38.380
 law

00:38:38.380 --> 00:38:38.760
 says

00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:39.340
 no

00:38:39.340 --> 00:38:39.580
 one

00:38:39.580 --> 00:38:39.800
 can

00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:39.960
 be

00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:40.380
 justified

00:38:40.380 --> 00:38:40.720
 by

00:38:40.720 --> 00:38:40.920
 the

00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:41.240
 law

00:38:41.240 --> 00:38:42.300
 and

00:38:42.300 --> 00:38:42.420
 he

00:38:42.420 --> 00:38:42.640
 quotes

00:38:42.640 --> 00:38:43.260
 Habakkuk

00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:43.840

00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:45.480
 he

00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:45.640
 says

00:38:45.640 --> 00:38:46.680
 only

00:38:46.680 --> 00:38:47.180
 the

 justified

00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:48.320

 faith

00:38:48.900 --> 00:38:51.059
 even

00:41:04.720 --> 00:41:05.039
 to

00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:05.220
 be

00:41:05.220 --> 00:41:05.619
 cursed

00:41:05.619 --> 00:41:06.340
 is

00:41:06.340 --> 00:41:06.519
 to

00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:06.740
 be

00:41:06.740 --> 00:41:07.360
 condemned

00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:08.280
 by

00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:08.539
 our

00:41:08.539 --> 00:41:09.119
 works

00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:13.659
 and

00:41:13.659 --> 00:41:13.940
 here

00:41:13.940 --> 00:41:14.220
 is

00:41:14.220 --> 00:41:14.579
 what

00:41:14.579 --> 00:41:16.019
 Christ

00:41:16.019 --> 00:41:17.019
 has

00:41:17.019 --> 00:41:17.380
 done

00:41:17.380 --> 00:41:21.240
 he

00:41:21.240 --> 00:41:21.480
 took

00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:21.720
 our

00:41:21.720 --> 00:41:22.240
 curse

00:41:22.240 --> 00:41:23.740
 on

00:41:23.740 --> 00:41:24.240
 himself

00:41:24.240 --> 00:41:26.860
 he

00:41:26.860 --> 00:41:27.460
 redeemed

00:41:27.460 --> 00:41:27.900
 us

00:41:27.900 --> 00:41:28.519
 he

00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:29.579
 paid

00:41:29.579 --> 00:41:29.900
 for

00:41:29.900 --> 00:41:30.420
 us

00:41:30.420 --> 00:41:32.159
 he

00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:32.880
 delivered

00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:33.539
 us

00:41:33.539 --> 00:41:35.200
 through

00:41:35.200 --> 00:41:35.639
 a

00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:36.159
 payment

00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:38.159
 from

00:41:38.159 --> 00:41:38.440
 the

00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:38.980
 curse

00:41:38.980 --> 00:41:41.019
 by

00:41:41.019 --> 00:41:41.519
 taking

00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:41.880
 our

00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:42.320
 curse

00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:42.720
 on

00:41:42.720 --> 00:41:43.300
 himself

00:41:43.300 --> 00:41:46.680
 my

00:41:46.680 --> 00:41:47.139
 favorite

00:41:47.139 --> 00:41:47.720
 words

00:41:47.720 --> 00:41:48.920
 in this

00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:49.360
 section

00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:50.139
 are

00:41:50.139 --> 00:41:50.400
 two

00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:50.980
 words

00:41:50.980 --> 00:41:52.180
 the

00:41:52.180 --> 00:41:52.639
 words

00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:53.340
 for

00:41:53.340 --> 00:41:53.880
 us

00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:54.720
 Christ

00:41:54.720 --> 00:41:55.280
 redeemed

00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:55.940
 us

00:41:55.940 --> 00:41:56.280
 from

00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:56.500
 the

00:41:56.500 --> 00:41:56.860
 curse

00:41:56.860 --> 00:41:57.159
 of

00:41:57.159 --> 00:41:57.500
 the law

00:41:57.500 --> 00:41:57.719
 by

00:41:57.719 --> 00:41:58.139
 becoming

00:41:58.139 --> 00:41:58.420
 a

00:41:58.420 --> 00:41:58.779
 curse

00:41:58.779 --> 00:42:00.539
 for

00:42:00.539 --> 00:42:02.139
 us

00:42:02.139 --> 00:42:03.299
 you know

00:42:03.299 --> 00:42:03.839
 the irony

00:42:03.839 --> 00:42:04.279
 of this

00:42:04.279 --> 00:42:05.319
 is that

00:42:05.319 --> 00:42:05.899
 Jesus

00:42:05.899 --> 00:42:06.899
 lived a

00:42:06.899 --> 00:42:07.559
 perfect life

00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:09.819
 every thought

00:42:09.819 --> 00:42:11.079
 every feeling

00:42:11.079 --> 00:42:12.219
 every action

00:42:12.219 --> 00:42:13.379
 was pleasing

00:42:13.379 --> 00:42:14.059
 to God

00:42:14.059 --> 00:42:15.579
 he honored

00:42:15.579 --> 00:42:16.199
 God

00:42:16.199 --> 00:42:17.159
 every day

00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:18.339
 of his life

00:42:18.339 --> 00:42:19.960
 all 613

00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:20.579
 Old Testament

00:42:20.579 --> 00:42:21.119
 commandments

00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:22.259
 he fulfilled

00:42:22.259 --> 00:42:23.119
 fully

00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:24.299
 every day

00:42:24.299 --> 00:42:25.079
 he walked

00:42:25.079 --> 00:42:25.779
 this earth

00:42:25.780 --> 00:42:26.540
 so how

00:42:26.540 --> 00:42:27.019
 is it

00:42:27.019 --> 00:42:27.780
 that

00:42:27.780 --> 00:42:28.340
 this

00:42:28.340 --> 00:42:28.940
 perfect

00:42:28.940 --> 00:42:29.440
 man

00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:30.060
 can

00:42:30.060 --> 00:42:30.700
 hang

00:42:30.700 --> 00:42:31.040
 on a

00:42:31.040 --> 00:42:31.480
 cross

00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:32.240
 cursed

00:42:32.240 --> 00:42:34.880
 because

00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:35.220
 cursed

00:42:35.220 --> 00:42:35.600
 is the

00:42:35.600 --> 00:42:35.760
 one

00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:35.880
 who

00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:36.080
 hangs

00:42:36.080 --> 00:42:36.340
 on a

00:42:36.340 --> 00:42:36.620
 tree

00:42:36.620 --> 00:42:38.660
 God's

00:42:38.660 --> 00:42:38.920
 curse

00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:39.260
 is on

00:42:39.260 --> 00:42:39.480
 him

00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:44.019
 it's

00:42:44.019 --> 00:42:44.280
 because

00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:44.600
 he did

00:42:44.600 --> 00:42:44.720
 it

00:42:44.720 --> 00:42:45.400
 for us

00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:48.160
 knowing

00:42:48.160 --> 00:42:49.300
 all

00:42:49.300 --> 00:42:50.000
 Jews

00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:50.300
 and

00:42:50.300 --> 00:42:50.920
 Gentiles

00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:51.320
 who would

00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:51.820
 one day

00:42:51.820 --> 00:42:52.280
 believe

00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:52.740
 in him

00:42:52.740 --> 00:42:53.560
 Jesus

00:42:53.560 --> 00:42:54.360
 took

00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:55.180
 on our

00:42:55.180 --> 00:42:55.780
 curse

00:42:55.780 --> 00:42:56.740
 at the

00:42:56.740 --> 00:42:57.160
 cross

00:42:57.160 --> 00:42:57.360
 he

00:42:57.360 --> 00:42:58.160
 paid

00:42:58.160 --> 00:42:59.000
 in full

00:42:59.000 --> 00:42:59.680
 for all

00:42:59.680 --> 00:42:59.980
 of our

00:42:59.980 --> 00:43:00.800
 failures

00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:01.820
 to obey

00:43:01.820 --> 00:43:02.579
 all of

00:43:02.579 --> 00:43:03.000
 God's

00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:03.599
 commands

00:43:03.599 --> 00:43:04.980
 that resulted

00:43:04.980 --> 00:43:05.400
 in the

00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:05.579
 curse

00:43:05.579 --> 00:43:06.220
 he took

00:43:06.220 --> 00:43:06.559
 it

00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:08.500
 God

00:43:08.500 --> 00:43:08.980
 poured out

00:43:08.980 --> 00:43:09.780
 his wrath

00:43:09.780 --> 00:43:10.539
 for our

00:43:10.539 --> 00:43:10.900
 curse

00:43:10.900 --> 00:43:11.840
 on Christ's

00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:12.059
 head

00:43:12.059 --> 00:43:14.500
 but it

00:43:14.500 --> 00:43:14.900
 doesn't end

00:43:14.900 --> 00:43:15.120
 there

00:43:15.120 --> 00:43:15.579
 because there's

00:43:15.579 --> 00:43:16.260
 verse 14

00:43:16.260 --> 00:43:18.079
 Christ

00:43:18.079 --> 00:43:18.680
 redeemed us

00:43:18.680 --> 00:43:19.180
 from the curse

00:43:19.180 --> 00:43:19.539
 of the law

00:43:19.539 --> 00:43:20.019
 by becoming

00:43:20.019 --> 00:43:20.400
 a curse

00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:21.120
 for us

00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:21.900
 14

00:43:21.900 --> 00:43:22.719
 so that

00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:24.119
 in Christ

00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:24.539
 Jesus

00:43:24.539 --> 00:43:25.699
 the blessing

00:43:25.699 --> 00:43:26.420
 justification

00:43:26.420 --> 00:43:27.279
 by faith

00:43:27.279 --> 00:43:27.880
 that

00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:29.159
 justifying

00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:29.619
 blessing

00:43:29.619 --> 00:43:30.420
 of Abraham

00:43:30.420 --> 00:43:31.559
 might come

00:43:31.559 --> 00:43:32.440
 to us

00:43:32.440 --> 00:43:34.139
 Gentiles

00:43:34.139 --> 00:43:36.259
 so that

00:43:36.259 --> 00:43:37.179
 we might

00:43:37.179 --> 00:43:37.900
 receive the

00:43:37.900 --> 00:43:38.359
 promised

00:43:38.359 --> 00:43:39.579
 spirit

00:43:39.579 --> 00:43:40.299
 new covenant

00:43:40.299 --> 00:43:41.799
 through faith

00:43:41.799 --> 00:43:45.460
 Jesus

00:43:45.460 --> 00:43:46.619
 removed the

00:43:46.619 --> 00:43:46.980
 curse

00:43:46.980 --> 00:43:47.659
 from us

00:43:47.659 --> 00:43:48.219
 by taking

00:43:48.219 --> 00:43:48.619
 it on his

00:43:48.619 --> 00:43:49.099
 own head

00:43:49.099 --> 00:43:50.759
 and we

00:43:50.759 --> 00:43:51.299
 are brought

00:43:51.299 --> 00:43:52.500
 into Christ

00:43:52.500 --> 00:43:53.299
 because he

00:43:53.299 --> 00:43:53.719
 is the

00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:54.119
 offspring

00:43:54.119 --> 00:43:54.779
 of Abraham

00:43:54.779 --> 00:43:55.319
 through whom

00:43:55.319 --> 00:43:55.699
 all the

00:43:55.699 --> 00:43:56.000
 nations

00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:56.339
 will be

00:43:56.339 --> 00:43:56.699
 blessed

00:43:56.699 --> 00:43:58.860
 and in

00:43:58.860 --> 00:43:59.279
 Christ

00:43:59.279 --> 00:44:00.360
 we experience

00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:01.239
 the blessing

00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:02.659
 of having

00:44:02.659 --> 00:44:03.319
 his righteousness

00:44:03.319 --> 00:44:04.019
 imputed to

00:44:04.019 --> 00:44:04.360
 us

00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:08.819
 that's good

00:44:08.819 --> 00:44:09.219
 news

00:44:09.219 --> 00:44:11.279
 we don't

00:44:11.279 --> 00:44:11.940
 go back

00:44:11.940 --> 00:44:13.039
 to legalism

00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:14.839
 because

00:44:14.839 --> 00:44:16.199
 our legalism

00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:17.159
 led to a

00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:17.579
 curse

00:44:17.579 --> 00:44:19.259
 which

00:44:19.259 --> 00:44:19.619
 Jesus

00:44:19.619 --> 00:44:20.239
 paid for

00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:20.779
 in full

00:44:20.779 --> 00:44:22.480
 we don't

00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:22.920
 go back

00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:26.940
 okay

00:44:26.940 --> 00:44:27.480
 this morning

00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:27.759
 we've

00:44:27.759 --> 00:44:28.259
 looked at

00:44:28.259 --> 00:44:30.159
 reasons

00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:30.759
 why we

00:44:30.759 --> 00:44:31.199
 don't

00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:31.819
 go back

00:44:31.819 --> 00:44:32.619
 to legalism

00:44:32.619 --> 00:44:34.400
 the gospel

00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:34.880
 of grace

00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:35.599
 is wonderful

00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:37.420
 and when you

00:44:37.420 --> 00:44:37.860
 get it

00:44:37.860 --> 00:44:38.319
 you don't

00:44:38.319 --> 00:44:38.940
 go back

00:44:38.940 --> 00:44:39.840
 to legalism

00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:40.440
 you fight

00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:40.659
 it

00:44:40.659 --> 00:44:41.519
 it's because

00:44:41.519 --> 00:44:42.279
 you're part

00:44:42.279 --> 00:44:42.880
 of the new

00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:43.279
 covenant

00:44:43.279 --> 00:44:44.039
 community

00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:45.139
 indwelt

00:44:45.139 --> 00:44:45.579
 by the

00:44:45.579 --> 00:44:45.880
 spirit

00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:46.880
 you are

00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:47.619
 united

00:44:47.619 --> 00:44:48.559
 to Abraham

00:44:48.559 --> 00:44:49.140
 in a

00:44:49.140 --> 00:44:49.440
 shared

00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:49.980
 faith

00:44:49.980 --> 00:44:50.460
 a

00:44:50.460 --> 00:44:51.099
 justifying

00:44:51.099 --> 00:44:51.599
 faith

00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:52.360
 and you

00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:52.559
 don't

00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:53.059
 go back

00:44:53.059 --> 00:44:53.720
 because the

00:44:53.720 --> 00:44:54.180
 curse

00:44:54.180 --> 00:44:55.240
 for your

00:44:55.240 --> 00:44:56.200
 disobedience

00:44:56.200 --> 00:44:56.760
 has fallen

00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:57.400
 on Christ

00:44:57.400 --> 00:44:59.599
 so you

00:44:59.599 --> 00:44:59.880
 don't go

00:44:59.880 --> 00:45:00.260
 back

00:45:00.260 --> 00:45:04.220
 which means

00:45:04.220 --> 00:45:04.619
 this

00:45:04.619 --> 00:45:06.260
 when you

00:45:06.260 --> 00:45:07.140
 realize all

00:45:07.140 --> 00:45:07.599
 that God

00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:08.000
 and Christ

00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:08.380
 has done

00:45:08.380 --> 00:45:08.780
 for you

00:45:08.780 --> 00:45:11.000
 you realize

00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:12.059
 I don't

00:45:12.059 --> 00:45:12.420
 need to

00:45:12.420 --> 00:45:12.719
 obey

00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:13.380
 in order

00:45:13.380 --> 00:45:13.780
 to gain

00:45:13.780 --> 00:45:14.639
 God's

00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:14.920
 favor

00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:16.579
 God

00:45:16.579 --> 00:45:17.199
 has already

00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:17.960
 shown me

00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:18.579
 his favor

00:45:18.579 --> 00:45:18.980
 through the

00:45:18.980 --> 00:45:19.460
 cross of

00:45:19.460 --> 00:45:19.760
 Jesus

00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:21.679
 and therefore

00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:22.300
 I obey

00:45:22.300 --> 00:45:26.420
 I began

00:45:26.420 --> 00:45:27.179
 by reading

00:45:27.179 --> 00:45:29.179
 a little

00:45:29.179 --> 00:45:29.599
 poem

00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:30.059
 attributed

00:45:30.059 --> 00:45:30.519
 to John

00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:30.940
 Bunyan

00:45:30.940 --> 00:45:33.280
 run

00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:33.539
 John

00:45:33.539 --> 00:45:33.760
 run

00:45:33.760 --> 00:45:34.079
 the law

00:45:34.079 --> 00:45:34.559
 demands

00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:35.860
 but gives

00:45:35.860 --> 00:45:36.260
 us neither

00:45:36.260 --> 00:45:36.559
 feet

00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:37.159
 nor hands

00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:39.079
 much better

00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:39.519
 news the

00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:40.420
 gospel brings

00:45:40.420 --> 00:45:42.079
 it bids us

00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:42.599
 fly and

00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:43.000
 gives us

00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:43.500
 wings

00:45:43.500 --> 00:45:45.940
 we don't

00:45:45.940 --> 00:45:46.360
 go back

00:45:46.360 --> 00:45:46.680
 to the

00:45:46.680 --> 00:45:47.200
 misery of

00:45:47.200 --> 00:45:47.659
 trying to

00:45:47.659 --> 00:45:48.200
 win God's

00:45:48.200 --> 00:45:48.700
 favor by

00:45:48.700 --> 00:45:49.200
 obeying the

00:45:49.200 --> 00:45:49.480
 law

00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:51.099
 we

00:45:51.099 --> 00:45:51.720
 indwelt

00:45:51.720 --> 00:45:52.159
 by the

00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:52.500
 spirit

00:45:52.500 --> 00:45:53.659
 walk by

00:45:53.659 --> 00:45:54.220
 the spirit

00:45:54.220 --> 00:45:55.159
 and now

00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:56.260
 live out

00:45:56.260 --> 00:45:57.099
 the freedom

00:45:57.099 --> 00:45:57.860
 that is

00:45:57.860 --> 00:45:58.380
 ours

00:45:58.380 --> 00:45:59.579
 in Christ

00:45:59.579 --> 00:46:00.000
 Jesus

00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:01.340
 in light

00:46:01.340 --> 00:46:01.579
 of the

00:46:01.579 --> 00:46:02.139
 gospel of

00:46:02.139 --> 00:46:02.480
 grace

00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:04.320
 we don't

00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:04.760
 go back

00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:05.460
 to legalism

00:46:05.460 --> 00:46:06.599
 let's pray

00:46:06.599 --> 00:46:08.920
 God in

00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:09.180
 heaven

00:46:09.180 --> 00:46:10.079
 would you

00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:10.799
 press this

00:46:10.799 --> 00:46:11.400
 into our

00:46:11.400 --> 00:46:11.840
 hearts

00:46:11.840 --> 00:46:13.259
 would you

00:46:13.259 --> 00:46:14.039
 help us

00:46:14.039 --> 00:46:14.639
 to live

00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:15.059
 out

00:46:15.059 --> 00:46:16.139
 the freedom

00:46:16.139 --> 00:46:16.940
 that Christ

00:46:16.940 --> 00:46:17.980
 has purchased

00:46:17.980 --> 00:46:18.639
 for us

00:46:18.639 --> 00:46:19.259
 in the power

00:46:19.259 --> 00:46:19.679
 of your

00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:20.219
 spirit

00:46:20.219 --> 00:46:21.940
 God would you

00:46:21.940 --> 00:46:22.719
 keep us

00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:23.319
 by the

00:46:23.319 --> 00:46:23.699
 gospel

00:46:23.699 --> 00:46:24.279
 from going

00:46:24.279 --> 00:46:24.739
 back

00:46:24.739 --> 00:46:26.000
 to trying

00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:26.279
 to live

00:46:26.279 --> 00:46:26.759
 a life

00:46:26.759 --> 00:46:27.259
 that you've

00:46:27.259 --> 00:46:27.739
 delivered us

00:46:27.739 --> 00:46:28.000
 from

00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:29.259
 in Jesus

00:46:29.259 --> 00:46:29.679
 name we

00:46:29.679 --> 00:46:29.980
 pray

00:46:29.980 --> 00:46:31.019
 amen

00:46:31.019 --> 00:46:33.259
 I'm

00:46:37.759 --> 00:46:39.039
 really

00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:39.860
 I'm

00:46:39.860 --> 00:46:40.199
 doing

00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:42.559
 that
