00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.320
 Well, good morning, everyone.

00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:03.300
 What is a Christian?

00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:09.019
 That's really the question that we're unpacking over the course of this series.

00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:10.939
 It's an important question.

00:00:11.179 --> 00:00:15.800
 It's an important question for those of us who would say that we are Christian

00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:15.800


00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.159
 because it's in fact possible that you have rejected Christianity

00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:40.579
 on a false assumption of what Christianity actually is about

00:00:40.579 --> 00:00:42.679
 and what it means to be a Christian.

00:00:43.579 --> 00:00:47.000
 And so if you are new amongst us today, welcome.

00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:58.079
 It's a great day to be in church because today we get to the heart of the Christian message today.

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.699
 What it fundamentally is all about.

00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:05.420
 And it's crucial because you could sit in church for decades

00:01:05.420 --> 00:01:08.780
 and not understand what we're unpacking this morning.

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.719
 You could call yourself a Christian for decades

00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:16.400
 and not understand what it is that we're unpacking this morning.

00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.959
 The language of the New Testament is that a Christian is someone who is in Christ.

00:01:21.539 --> 00:01:23.280
 Ash has already said that.

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.400
 A Christian is someone who's united to Christ in such a way that everything that is Christ,

00:01:30.980 --> 00:01:34.980
 everything that is his, all that he is, belongs to you, the Christian.

00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:41.480
 And so today we're discovering how do we get into Christ?

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.099
 That's the key thing that we're looking at today.

00:01:45.099 --> 00:01:48.079
 And I've got four points.

00:01:48.179 --> 00:01:55.679
 Unfortunately, I didn't get it done in time late last night in order to get it on the app.

00:01:56.259 --> 00:02:03.379
 So you'll just have to take notes or re-watch it later or something or get a copy.

00:02:03.539 --> 00:02:05.419
 Actually, you've got copies of it in front of you probably.

00:02:06.019 --> 00:02:08.799
 Okay, first of all, I've got four points.

00:02:08.939 --> 00:02:11.379
 First one is the need for justification.

00:02:11.379 --> 00:02:13.879
 Verse 21, Romans 3.

00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:19.079
 But now apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been made known.

00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:24.819
 Now, the word righteousness there is a word that we're not necessarily familiar with in the English language.

00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:27.519
 We don't kind of talk about it much, really.

00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:29.620
 It's not something that just flows around.

00:02:29.780 --> 00:02:34.439
 But the word righteousness in Romans 3, in fact, in the book of Romans,

00:02:34.859 --> 00:02:39.900
 is the same Greek word as the word justify.

00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:40.180
 Justify.

00:02:41.379 --> 00:02:42.180
 Justify.

00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:47.379
 So to justify your existence, if you like.

00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:52.800
 And so righteousness is, another way of understanding it,

00:02:52.900 --> 00:02:58.719
 is a performance record that validates you and removes barriers.

00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:01.480
 That's what righteousness is.

00:03:01.860 --> 00:03:05.280
 For instance, it's similar to a resume.

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:11.560
 You have a resume, a CV, and it's a record of your employment history,

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:13.659
 your accomplishments, your experiences.

00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:19.379
 And the purpose of a resume is to open doors for me,

00:03:19.900 --> 00:03:25.420
 to start a conversation, to potentially get a job.

00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.939
 But without the resume, you don't even get the door opened.

00:03:29.939 --> 00:03:38.460
 It's about the resume is the possibility of finding acceptance, approval,

00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:40.919
 of being granted something.

00:03:42.139 --> 00:03:45.060
 An academic record is the same thing.

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.060
 You want to apply to get into a university, academic record does the same thing.

00:03:49.259 --> 00:03:53.819
 Without the academic record, you're not going to get the door of university open to you.

00:03:53.819 --> 00:03:58.819
 Interesting enough, it happens right through all of life.

00:04:00.259 --> 00:04:01.919
 All the way through life.

00:04:02.939 --> 00:04:06.039
 Even on a social level, the clothes you wear, the cars we drive,

00:04:06.139 --> 00:04:08.120
 the suburbs we live in, the holidays we have,

00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:18.300
 all the things that are an attempt to get into an approval in a particular social group,

00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:25.020
 or a family, or even in my own sense, that I fit as part of this society.

00:04:26.300 --> 00:04:33.500
 And all of our records of righteousness in their various degrees are ways of saying,

00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:35.620
 please approve of me.

00:04:36.280 --> 00:04:37.580
 Please accept me.

00:04:38.379 --> 00:04:39.960
 Here is my record.

00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:42.819
 And everybody is doing it.

00:04:42.819 --> 00:04:47.439
 Everybody is seeking righteousness, seeking justification,

00:04:48.139 --> 00:04:50.500
 seeking validation, acceptance, approval.

00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:52.399
 It's not just a religious thing.

00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.079
 One of the best pictures of this is the,

00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:58.699
 it's in the epic movie, Chariots of Fire.

00:04:59.740 --> 00:05:07.600
 It chronicles the rise of two Scottish sprinters up to the 1924 Olympics.

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:12.340
 And it was the 100 meter sprint.

00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:16.820
 One of those sprinters was a guy named Harold Abrahams,

00:05:16.820 --> 00:05:18.240
 who went on to win the gold medal.

00:05:18.900 --> 00:05:21.420
 And Abrahams famously said,

00:05:21.900 --> 00:05:26.300
 I've got 10 lonely seconds to justify my whole existence.

00:05:28.080 --> 00:05:30.379
 When he was asked, why are you training so hard?

00:05:30.460 --> 00:05:31.939
 Why are you putting all this effort into the 100?

00:05:32.060 --> 00:05:36.260
 I've got 10 seconds to justify my whole existence.

00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:41.139
 He ran in order to prove himself to others that he mattered.

00:05:41.300 --> 00:05:43.980
 He ran to justify himself,

00:05:44.699 --> 00:05:47.379
 to know that he was worthy, acceptable.

00:05:49.019 --> 00:05:52.539
 Another example, Academy Award winning filmmaker Sidney Pollack

00:05:52.539 --> 00:05:59.240
 famously expressed that making movies was his way of justifying his existence.

00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:05.079
 Not long before he died, his family was pleading with him.

00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:05.819
 He was sick.

00:06:06.259 --> 00:06:07.539
 And they knew he was dying.

00:06:07.599 --> 00:06:11.620
 They were pleading with him to stop making movies because it's killing you.

00:06:11.980 --> 00:06:13.519
 The whole process is killing you.

00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:15.680
 And this is what he said in an interview.

00:06:16.139 --> 00:06:20.439
 Although the grueling filmmaking process is wearing me down,

00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:25.860
 I cannot justify my existence if I'm not creating something.

00:06:27.159 --> 00:06:29.480
 Of course, the great irony of it is,

00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.860
 because he had to keep making movies.

00:06:32.860 --> 00:06:33.220
 Because he had to keep making movies,

00:06:33.220 --> 00:06:35.920
 then it clearly wasn't justifying his existence.

00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:41.400
 It clearly wasn't filling up that thing that was inside of him that needed justification.

00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:46.019
 We do it in all kinds of different ways.

00:06:46.019 --> 00:06:50.819
 For instance, if being a parent with good and happy kids is our justification,

00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:58.799
 then psychologists will tell you that's a sure way of ensuring the kids are not good and they're miserable.

00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:04.520
 If that's your justification, it will never be your justification.

00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:09.579
 All self-justification is fragile.

00:07:09.579 --> 00:07:12.060
 All of it's fragile.

00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:19.139
 One more movie, just one more gold medal, one more promotion,

00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.599
 the kids being perfect,

00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.839
 or as the late American businessman and the world's very first billionaire,

00:07:28.339 --> 00:07:29.560
 John D. Rockefeller said,

00:07:29.659 --> 00:07:31.959
 just one more million and I feel I'm okay.

00:07:33.539 --> 00:07:34.860
 Just one more million.

00:07:34.860 --> 00:07:40.360
 You see, the problem is,

00:07:40.620 --> 00:07:42.220
 deep down,

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.060
 deep, deep, deep down inside of us,

00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.020
 we all know that we should be better than we are.

00:07:47.860 --> 00:07:50.400
 And so justifying our existence

00:07:50.400 --> 00:07:53.639
 for all of us is something that we do,

00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:54.580
 but for all of us,

00:07:54.660 --> 00:07:56.300
 it's just, it's out of reach.

00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:58.100
 One more million,

00:07:58.360 --> 00:07:59.240
 one more gold medal,

00:07:59.740 --> 00:08:00.660
 just out of reach.

00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:04.300
 All of us want a life that counts

00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:06.699
 and are worthy and are worthy enough

00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:08.180
 in order to be accepted by others,

00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:09.020
 approved of.

00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.220
 All of us want that validation.

00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:14.579
 Every culture and society does exactly the same thing,

00:08:14.780 --> 00:08:16.139
 even if it looks different

00:08:16.139 --> 00:08:19.040
 in how we might pursue that validation,

00:08:19.860 --> 00:08:20.660
 that justification,

00:08:21.060 --> 00:08:21.699
 that righteousness.

00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:24.379
 And that's why

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:26.560
 every culture

00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.240
 and every religion

00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:30.280
 thinks it's the same

00:08:30.280 --> 00:08:31.400
 when it comes to God.

00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.699
 To get in with the divine,

00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:37.379
 to get in with a God,

00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:40.059
 requires a spiritual

00:08:40.059 --> 00:08:42.220
 and a moral resume

00:08:42.220 --> 00:08:44.360
 of our performance

00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:45.840
 that says,

00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:47.139
 please validate me,

00:08:47.259 --> 00:08:48.079
 please accept me,

00:08:48.199 --> 00:08:49.100
 please approve of me,

00:08:49.199 --> 00:08:50.299
 please justify me,

00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:53.100
 please find me righteous.

00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:55.939
 And so we develop

00:08:55.939 --> 00:08:57.319
 our record of righteousness

00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.420
 and hope in the end

00:08:59.420 --> 00:09:00.680
 that we will be accepted.

00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:03.120
 And the problem

00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:04.360
 with self-justification

00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.600
 is that all of us know

00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:07.860
 that we should be far better

00:09:07.860 --> 00:09:08.540
 than we are.

00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:09.960
 Forget about living

00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:11.620
 according to anyone else's standards.

00:09:12.500 --> 00:09:13.300
 Forget about living

00:09:13.300 --> 00:09:14.720
 to the divine standards.

00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:15.660
 Forget about living

00:09:15.660 --> 00:09:16.840
 even in obedience

00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:17.920
 to the Ten Commandments.

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:18.900
 Forget about all of that.

00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:21.480
 None of us even live up

00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:22.420
 to our own standards.

00:09:22.419 --> 00:09:25.899
 And that's why

00:09:25.899 --> 00:09:27.339
 we're constantly pursuing it.

00:09:28.899 --> 00:09:30.939
 In the chapter before this,

00:09:31.439 --> 00:09:32.459
 in Romans 3,

00:09:32.599 --> 00:09:33.339
 Paul writes,

00:09:34.019 --> 00:09:35.919
 you therefore have no excuse,

00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:37.159
 you who pass judgment

00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:38.059
 on someone else,

00:09:38.579 --> 00:09:40.199
 for at whatever point

00:09:40.199 --> 00:09:41.659
 you judge another,

00:09:42.579 --> 00:09:43.759
 you're condemning yourself.

00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:46.299
 Because you who pass judgment

00:09:46.299 --> 00:09:48.819
 do the same things.

00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:51.320
 And so when you,

00:09:51.520 --> 00:09:52.780
 a mere human being,

00:09:52.920 --> 00:09:54.100
 pass judgment on them

00:09:54.100 --> 00:09:56.060
 and yet do the same things,

00:09:56.140 --> 00:09:56.660
 do you think

00:09:56.660 --> 00:09:57.420
 that you'll escape

00:09:57.420 --> 00:09:58.120
 God's judgment?

00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:02.140
 He's saying there,

00:10:02.220 --> 00:10:03.200
 there's not a single

00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:04.480
 human being

00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:06.740
 who is able to live up

00:10:06.740 --> 00:10:08.160
 to their own convictions

00:10:08.160 --> 00:10:10.060
 of what is right and wrong,

00:10:10.940 --> 00:10:12.180
 let alone to God's.

00:10:13.940 --> 00:10:15.500
 How can we possibly

00:10:15.500 --> 00:10:16.820
 justify ourselves,

00:10:17.300 --> 00:10:17.820
 validate ourselves,

00:10:18.820 --> 00:10:22.120
 if we can't live up

00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.460
 to even our own standards?

00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:29.540
 And it's important.

00:10:30.660 --> 00:10:31.960
 Because the word justification

00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:34.120
 is a word that belongs

00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:36.540
 to a law court setting.

00:10:38.460 --> 00:10:40.660
 Where God is viewed

00:10:40.660 --> 00:10:42.640
 as the judge

00:10:42.640 --> 00:10:44.680
 and we are the accused

00:10:44.680 --> 00:10:45.600
 before him.

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:49.800
 And by our own standards,

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:52.879
 the evidence is against us.

00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:55.460
 Just by our own standards.

00:10:58.100 --> 00:11:00.080
 And so verses 22 to 23

00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.139
 say that all of us

00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:02.899
 stand accused.

00:11:03.040 --> 00:11:03.840
 There's no difference

00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.060
 between Jew and Gentile.

00:11:05.139 --> 00:11:05.600
 In other words,

00:11:05.659 --> 00:11:06.620
 for all of humanity,

00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:08.800
 all have sinned

00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:09.600
 and fall short

00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:12.080
 of the glory of God.

00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:16.580
 What Paul's pointing to here

00:11:16.580 --> 00:11:18.660
 is that early in Romans,

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.240
 he's writing that

00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:23.180
 humanity,

00:11:24.180 --> 00:11:24.800
 people,

00:11:25.060 --> 00:11:25.280
 us,

00:11:25.379 --> 00:11:26.040
 we were made

00:11:26.040 --> 00:11:27.480
 by God

00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:28.420
 in his likeness

00:11:28.420 --> 00:11:29.540
 to bring him glory

00:11:29.540 --> 00:11:31.220
 and to enjoy his glory.

00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:33.940
 And sin

00:11:33.940 --> 00:11:35.300
 is the rejection

00:11:35.300 --> 00:11:36.200
 of the God

00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:37.379
 who has made us.

00:11:37.379 --> 00:11:39.580
 And so we have lost

00:11:39.580 --> 00:11:40.259
 his glory.

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:42.759
 Sin means we can't

00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:43.539
 be in relationship

00:11:43.539 --> 00:11:44.059
 with him.

00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:45.320
 We rebel against him.

00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:46.439
 We want to live life

00:11:46.439 --> 00:11:47.419
 without him.

00:11:48.820 --> 00:11:49.379
 And we,

00:11:49.820 --> 00:11:50.139
 therefore,

00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:51.399
 do not enjoy

00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:52.259
 his approval.

00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:54.720
 We do not have

00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:55.539
 a right standing

00:11:55.539 --> 00:11:56.200
 before him.

00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:57.399
 We are not justified

00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:58.820
 before him.

00:11:58.919 --> 00:11:59.399
 We stand

00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:00.820
 accused

00:12:00.820 --> 00:12:02.279
 and condemned

00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:03.120
 before him.

00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.440
 And earlier

00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:07.360
 in chapter 3,

00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:08.000
 we are told

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:09.100
 that all of us,

00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:10.539
 the religious

00:12:10.539 --> 00:12:11.679
 and the non-religious,

00:12:11.820 --> 00:12:12.779
 are under sin.

00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:14.000
 The moral

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:14.879
 and the immoral

00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:15.919
 are under sin.

00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:18.679
 Our condition

00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:21.220
 is all the same.

00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:23.639
 Our legal standing

00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:24.840
 before God

00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:27.120
 is not justified.

00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:30.240
 There is no degrees

00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:31.740
 of unrighteousness

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:32.440
 and justification.

00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:34.779
 We are all

00:12:34.779 --> 00:12:35.740
 unrighteous.

00:12:39.700 --> 00:12:41.240
 And then Paul

00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:41.759
 writes

00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.299
 these words

00:12:43.299 --> 00:12:45.560
 in Romans 3.

00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:47.220
 But now,

00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:52.019
 for the first

00:12:52.019 --> 00:12:52.700
 time

00:12:52.700 --> 00:12:53.620
 ever

00:12:53.620 --> 00:12:55.019
 and for the

00:12:55.019 --> 00:12:56.019
 only time

00:12:56.019 --> 00:12:56.580
 ever,

00:12:58.600 --> 00:12:59.779
 the righteousness,

00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:00.779
 the justification

00:13:00.779 --> 00:13:01.680
 of God

00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:02.460
 has been made

00:13:02.460 --> 00:13:02.740
 known.

00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.820
 in other words,

00:13:05.860 --> 00:13:06.360
 what he's saying

00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:06.919
 here is,

00:13:07.340 --> 00:13:08.379
 this is a totally

00:13:08.379 --> 00:13:09.000
 new approach

00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:09.580
 to getting in

00:13:09.580 --> 00:13:10.179
 with God

00:13:10.179 --> 00:13:11.379
 and it's just

00:13:11.379 --> 00:13:12.179
 been revealed.

00:13:14.500 --> 00:13:15.480
 And what has

00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:16.299
 been revealed

00:13:16.299 --> 00:13:17.279
 is that the

00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:18.360
 righteousness of God,

00:13:18.419 --> 00:13:19.039
 the justification

00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:20.139
 of God,

00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:20.960
 the perfect

00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:21.700
 record,

00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:22.799
 the validation

00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:23.639
 of God

00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:24.700
 has been

00:13:24.700 --> 00:13:25.840
 revealed.

00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:25.940
 revealed.

00:13:26.940 --> 00:13:28.240
 And it puts

00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:29.100
 an end,

00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:30.139
 what it does,

00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:30.420
 it puts

00:13:30.420 --> 00:13:30.860
 an end

00:13:30.860 --> 00:13:31.480
 to all

00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:31.879
 of our

00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:32.800
 striving

00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:33.840
 and struggling

00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:35.720
 for self-validation

00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.379
 because the

00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:39.800
 righteousness

00:13:39.800 --> 00:13:40.660
 has been

00:13:40.660 --> 00:13:41.580
 revealed.

00:13:41.580 --> 00:13:41.680
 world.

00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.020
 It's a gift.

00:13:48.020 --> 00:13:48.980
 And here's the

00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:49.259
 gift.

00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:53.920
 None of us

00:13:53.920 --> 00:13:54.720
 can justify

00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:55.520
 ourselves.

00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:56.680
 And verse

00:13:56.680 --> 00:13:57.639
 24 says,

00:13:57.639 --> 00:13:58.480
 all are

00:13:58.480 --> 00:13:58.960
 justified

00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:00.259
 freely

00:14:00.259 --> 00:14:01.799
 by his

00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:02.379
 grace

00:14:02.379 --> 00:14:03.360
 through the

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:03.759
 redemption

00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:04.519
 that came

00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:05.240
 by Christ

00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:05.799
 Jesus.

00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:07.379
 Justified

00:14:07.379 --> 00:14:08.700
 freely.

00:14:12.539 --> 00:14:13.620
 Now the

00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:14.539
 word freely

00:14:14.539 --> 00:14:15.059
 there

00:14:15.059 --> 00:14:16.659
 is really

00:14:16.659 --> 00:14:17.419
 important.

00:14:17.419 --> 00:14:21.019
 it's

00:14:21.019 --> 00:14:21.759
 used

00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:22.519
 in

00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:22.959
 another

00:14:22.959 --> 00:14:23.419
 place

00:14:23.419 --> 00:14:23.740
 in the

00:14:23.740 --> 00:14:23.919
 New

00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:24.459
 Testament

00:14:24.459 --> 00:14:25.000
 in

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:25.500
 John

00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:26.439
 chapter

00:14:26.439 --> 00:14:27.120
 15

00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:28.259
 verse 25

00:14:28.259 --> 00:14:29.620
 when

00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:30.139
 Jesus

00:14:30.139 --> 00:14:30.919
 says,

00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:31.639
 they

00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:32.159
 hated

00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:32.699
 me

00:14:32.699 --> 00:14:33.519
 without

00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:34.979
 a cause,

00:14:35.779 --> 00:14:36.240
 without

00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:36.860
 a reason.

00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:41.599
 Literally,

00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:42.819
 they

00:14:42.819 --> 00:14:43.259
 hated

00:14:43.259 --> 00:14:43.759
 me

00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:44.959
 freely.

00:14:47.419 --> 00:14:47.740
 without

00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:48.399
 reason,

00:14:48.659 --> 00:14:48.899
 without

00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:49.639
 cause.

00:14:50.959 --> 00:14:51.339
 And the

00:14:51.339 --> 00:14:51.959
 word freely

00:14:51.959 --> 00:14:52.799
 means there

00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:53.639
 in a way

00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:54.019
 that is

00:14:54.019 --> 00:14:54.679
 totally,

00:14:55.179 --> 00:14:55.979
 completely

00:14:55.979 --> 00:14:57.439
 unwarranted.

00:15:01.699 --> 00:15:02.519
 It is

00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:03.000
 something that

00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:03.439
 is given

00:15:03.439 --> 00:15:03.959
 or done

00:15:03.959 --> 00:15:04.360
 for no

00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:04.939
 reason at

00:15:04.939 --> 00:15:05.339
 all.

00:15:06.539 --> 00:15:07.179
 It's

00:15:07.179 --> 00:15:07.759
 unwarranted.

00:15:09.839 --> 00:15:10.639
 And here

00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:11.599
 we

00:15:11.599 --> 00:15:12.319
 penetrate

00:15:12.319 --> 00:15:13.839
 into the

00:15:13.839 --> 00:15:14.740
 core

00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:15.319
 difference

00:15:15.319 --> 00:15:15.679
 between

00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:16.360
 Christianity

00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:17.099
 and

00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:17.700
 every

00:15:17.700 --> 00:15:18.139
 other

00:15:18.139 --> 00:15:18.560
 world

00:15:18.560 --> 00:15:19.040
 religion.

00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:20.440
 We

00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:21.120
 become,

00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:21.659
 a

00:15:21.659 --> 00:15:22.019
 Christian

00:15:22.019 --> 00:15:22.519
 becomes

00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:23.159
 acceptable

00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:23.639
 and

00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:24.159
 beautiful

00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:24.759
 before

00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:25.379
 God

00:15:25.379 --> 00:15:26.440
 not

00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:26.779
 by

00:15:26.779 --> 00:15:27.159
 what

00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:27.519
 we

00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:28.120
 bring

00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.200
 but

00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:30.560
 by

00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:30.840
 what

00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:31.420
 Christ

00:15:31.420 --> 00:15:32.060
 brings.

00:15:33.060 --> 00:15:33.800
 Not

00:15:33.800 --> 00:15:34.360
 by what

00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:34.700
 we

00:15:34.700 --> 00:15:35.360
 do

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:36.580
 but

00:15:36.580 --> 00:15:36.920
 what

00:15:36.920 --> 00:15:37.379
 Christ

00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:37.759
 has

00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:38.399
 done.

00:15:40.100 --> 00:15:40.340
 The

00:15:40.340 --> 00:15:41.019
 glorious

00:15:41.019 --> 00:15:41.680
 reality

00:15:41.680 --> 00:15:42.220
 is

00:15:42.220 --> 00:15:42.800
 expressed

00:15:42.800 --> 00:15:43.160
 in one

00:15:43.160 --> 00:15:43.360
 of the

00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:43.600
 most

00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:44.379
 significant

00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:44.800
 verses

00:15:44.800 --> 00:15:45.259
 in all

00:15:45.259 --> 00:15:45.399
 the

00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:45.720
 Bible.

00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:47.259
 I quote

00:15:47.259 --> 00:15:47.420
 it

00:15:47.420 --> 00:15:47.860
 regularly.

00:15:49.680 --> 00:15:49.840
 For

00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:50.300
 our

00:15:50.300 --> 00:15:50.759
 sake

00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:51.120
 he

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:51.620
 made

00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:51.980
 him

00:15:51.980 --> 00:15:52.160
 to

00:15:52.160 --> 00:15:52.399
 be

00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:53.040
 sin

00:15:53.040 --> 00:15:54.120
 who

00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:54.379
 knew

00:15:54.379 --> 00:15:54.740
 no

00:15:54.740 --> 00:15:55.060
 sin

00:15:55.060 --> 00:15:56.040
 so

00:15:56.040 --> 00:15:56.300
 that

00:15:56.300 --> 00:15:56.680
 in

00:15:56.680 --> 00:15:57.360
 him

00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:58.399
 we

00:15:58.399 --> 00:15:58.740
 might

00:15:58.740 --> 00:15:59.340
 become

00:15:59.340 --> 00:15:59.600
 the

00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:00.060
 righteousness

00:16:00.059 --> 00:16:00.419
 of

00:16:00.419 --> 00:16:00.819
 God.

00:16:02.239 --> 00:16:02.500
 We

00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:02.939
 might

00:16:02.939 --> 00:16:03.679
 come

00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:03.959
 the

00:16:03.959 --> 00:16:04.739
 justification

00:16:04.739 --> 00:16:05.299
 of

00:16:05.299 --> 00:16:05.699
 God

00:16:05.699 --> 00:16:06.779
 justified

00:16:06.779 --> 00:16:07.319
 before

00:16:07.319 --> 00:16:07.719
 God

00:16:07.719 --> 00:16:08.139
 right

00:16:08.139 --> 00:16:08.459
 before

00:16:08.459 --> 00:16:08.799
 God

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:09.139
 perfect

00:16:09.139 --> 00:16:09.739
 record

00:16:09.739 --> 00:16:10.719
 before

00:16:10.719 --> 00:16:11.219
 God

00:16:11.219 --> 00:16:12.199
 we

00:16:12.199 --> 00:16:12.479
 might

00:16:12.479 --> 00:16:12.799
 have

00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:13.699
 God's

00:16:13.699 --> 00:16:14.539
 perfect

00:16:14.539 --> 00:16:15.299
 record

00:16:15.299 --> 00:16:15.799
 that's

00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:16.000
 the

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:16.479
 righteousness

00:16:16.479 --> 00:16:16.819
 of

00:16:16.819 --> 00:16:17.179
 God

00:16:17.179 --> 00:16:17.179


00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:19.639
 Jesus

00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:20.099
 Christ

00:16:20.099 --> 00:16:20.319
 had

00:16:20.319 --> 00:16:20.679
 no

00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:21.039
 sin

00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:21.159
 of

00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:21.299
 his

00:16:21.299 --> 00:16:21.539
 own

00:16:21.539 --> 00:16:21.699
 but

00:16:21.699 --> 00:16:21.819
 at

00:16:21.819 --> 00:16:22.000
 the

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:22.379
 cross

00:16:22.379 --> 00:16:22.839
 he

00:16:22.839 --> 00:16:23.239
 took

00:16:23.239 --> 00:16:23.699
 on

00:16:23.699 --> 00:16:24.939
 himself

00:16:24.939 --> 00:16:25.419
 all

00:16:25.419 --> 00:16:25.559
 of

00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:26.059
 ours.

00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:27.159
 Romans

00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:27.539
 back to

00:16:27.539 --> 00:16:28.219
 Romans 3

00:16:28.219 --> 00:16:28.899
 it

00:16:28.899 --> 00:16:29.319
 unpacks

00:16:29.319 --> 00:16:29.439
 this

00:16:29.439 --> 00:16:29.719
 for us

00:16:29.719 --> 00:16:30.120
 all

00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:30.399
 are

00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:30.939

00:16:30.939 --> 00:16:31.659
 freely

00:16:31.659 --> 00:16:32.500
 without

00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:34.759
 freely

00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:35.379
 by

00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:35.699
 his

00:16:35.699 --> 00:16:36.199
 grace

00:16:36.199 --> 00:16:36.959
 through

00:16:36.959 --> 00:16:37.179
 the

00:16:37.179 --> 00:16:37.620
 redemption

00:16:37.620 --> 00:16:38.839
 excuse

00:16:38.839 --> 00:16:39.159

00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:39.939
 through

00:16:39.939 --> 00:16:40.120
 the

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:40.459
 redemption

00:16:40.459 --> 00:16:40.719
 that

00:16:40.719 --> 00:16:41.059
 came

00:16:41.059 --> 00:16:41.319
 by

00:16:41.319 --> 00:16:41.699
 Christ

00:16:41.699 --> 00:16:42.099
 Jesus

00:16:42.099 --> 00:16:43.079
 God

00:16:43.079 --> 00:16:43.579
 presented

00:16:43.579 --> 00:16:44.179
 Christ

00:16:44.179 --> 00:16:44.799
 as a

00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:45.599
 sacrifice

00:16:45.599 --> 00:16:45.799
 of

00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:46.299
 atonement

00:16:46.299 --> 00:16:46.919
 through

00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:47.120
 the

 shedding

00:16:47.359 --> 00:16:47.500
 of

00:16:47.500 --> 00:16:47.639
 his

00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:47.959
 blood

00:16:47.959 --> 00:16:49.359
 as

00:16:49.359 --> 00:16:49.459
 I

00:16:49.459 --> 00:16:49.679
 said

00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:50.159
 justification

00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:51.179
 is a

00:16:51.179 --> 00:16:52.759
 legal

00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:53.439
 term

00:16:53.439 --> 00:16:55.079
 that's

00:16:55.079 --> 00:16:55.379
 connected

00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:55.719
 to the

00:16:57.299 --> 00:16:57.939
 redemption

00:16:57.939 --> 00:16:58.620
 here

00:16:58.620 --> 00:16:59.419
 is a

00:16:59.419 --> 00:16:59.979
 word

00:16:59.979 --> 00:17:00.719
 that

00:17:00.719 --> 00:17:01.039
 is

00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:01.479
 much

00:17:01.479 --> 00:17:01.740
 more

00:17:01.740 --> 00:17:02.240
 uglier

00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.740
 it's

00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:04.000
 a

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:04.279

00:17:12.879 --> 00:17:13.319
 why

00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:14.059
 humanity

00:17:14.059 --> 00:17:14.839
 none

00:17:20.919 --> 00:17:21.699
 we are

00:17:21.699 --> 00:17:22.659
 captivated

00:17:22.659 --> 00:17:23.179
 to a

00:17:23.179 --> 00:17:23.419

00:17:23.419 --> 00:17:23.679
 of

00:17:49.239 --> 00:17:49.519
 debt

00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:49.779

00:17:49.779 --> 00:17:50.259
 come

 Jesus

00:17:51.779 --> 00:17:52.399
 paid

00:17:54.719 --> 00:17:55.000
 Romans

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:55.779

00:17:59.199 --> 00:17:59.639
 cross

00:17:59.639 --> 00:18:00.919
 you see

00:18:00.919 --> 00:18:01.419
 on the

00:18:01.959 --> 00:18:03.599
 Jesus

00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:04.179
 Christ

00:18:04.179 --> 00:18:04.679
 received

00:18:04.679 --> 00:18:05.139
 the wrath

00:18:05.139 --> 00:18:05.539
 of God

00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:06.099
 for our

00:18:06.099 --> 00:18:06.459
 sin

00:18:06.460 --> 00:18:07.259
 and in

00:18:07.259 --> 00:18:07.940
 doing so

00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:08.920

00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:10.220
 wrath

00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:10.819
 away

00:18:10.819 --> 00:18:11.579
 from us

00:18:11.579 --> 00:18:15.980
 as I

00:18:15.980 --> 00:18:16.259
 said a

 couple of

00:18:19.700 --> 00:18:21.880
 there's

00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:22.259
 no more

00:18:22.259 --> 00:18:22.779
 you can't

00:18:22.779 --> 00:18:23.340
 light another

00:18:23.340 --> 00:18:24.240
 fire there

00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:27.079
 the wrath

00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:27.579
 of God

00:18:27.579 --> 00:18:28.019
 has been

00:18:28.019 --> 00:18:28.620
 removed

00:18:28.620 --> 00:18:29.279
 from us

00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:29.900
 turned

00:18:29.900 --> 00:18:30.440
 away

00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:32.519
 you see

00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:33.000
 God

00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:33.700
 does not

00:18:33.700 --> 00:18:35.220
 sit up

00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:35.779
 there and

00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:36.579
 go oh

00:18:36.579 --> 00:18:37.339
 it's

00:18:37.339 --> 00:18:37.900
 okay I

00:18:37.900 --> 00:18:38.140
 just

00:18:38.140 --> 00:18:38.460
 forgive

00:18:38.460 --> 00:18:38.940
 you all

00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:41.140
 he does

00:18:41.140 --> 00:18:41.660
 not set

00:18:41.660 --> 00:18:42.339
 aside

00:18:42.339 --> 00:18:42.680
 his

00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:43.200
 justice

00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:46.299
 he just

00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:46.920
 turns it

00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.779
 on himself

00:18:47.779 --> 00:18:49.039
 on the

00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:49.420
 cross

00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:52.100
 it's the

00:18:52.100 --> 00:18:52.640
 place where

00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:53.140
 God's

00:18:53.140 --> 00:18:53.740
 justice and

00:18:53.740 --> 00:18:54.160
 love are

00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:55.100
 fully satisfied

00:18:55.100 --> 00:18:56.940
 and God

00:18:56.940 --> 00:18:57.980
 imputes to

00:18:57.980 --> 00:18:58.360
 Christ

00:18:58.360 --> 00:18:58.860
 Jesus

00:18:58.860 --> 00:18:59.700
 it's the

00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:00.660
 great exchange

00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:01.680
 he imputes

00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:02.200
 to Christ

00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:02.680
 Jesus

00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:03.240
 our

00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:03.940
 rebellious

00:19:03.940 --> 00:19:04.480
 record

00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:05.460
 and Jesus

00:19:05.460 --> 00:19:06.779
 satisfies the

00:19:06.779 --> 00:19:07.360
 debt of

00:19:07.360 --> 00:19:08.140
 that rebellious

00:19:08.140 --> 00:19:08.940
 record as

00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:09.420
 God

00:19:09.420 --> 00:19:10.700
 pours out

00:19:10.700 --> 00:19:11.539
 his anger

00:19:11.539 --> 00:19:12.240
 on him

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:13.120
 and punishes

00:19:13.120 --> 00:19:14.039
 him for

00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:14.980
 our record

00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:16.519
 and because

00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:17.779
 Jesus does

00:19:17.779 --> 00:19:18.920
 that and

00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:19.680
 fulfills it

00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:20.279
 completely

00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:22.000
 God

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:23.019
 legally

00:19:23.019 --> 00:19:24.319
 imputes

00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:25.420
 Jesus

00:19:25.420 --> 00:19:26.819
 right record

00:19:26.819 --> 00:19:27.620
 with God

00:19:27.620 --> 00:19:29.700
 to us

00:19:29.700 --> 00:19:31.700
 and so

00:19:31.700 --> 00:19:32.400
 we are

00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:33.860
 redeemed

00:19:33.859 --> 00:19:38.279
 you see

00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:38.659
 when we

00:19:38.659 --> 00:19:39.339
 come to

00:19:39.339 --> 00:19:39.919
 Jesus

00:19:39.919 --> 00:19:41.259
 we enter

00:19:41.259 --> 00:19:41.740
 into this

00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:42.439
 kind of

00:19:42.439 --> 00:19:42.859
 union

00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:43.500
 with him

00:19:43.500 --> 00:19:45.359
 and the

00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:45.719
 union

00:19:45.719 --> 00:19:46.759
 in Christ

00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:48.619
 because of

00:19:48.619 --> 00:19:49.559
 his justifying

00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:50.459
 work means

00:19:50.459 --> 00:19:51.339
 that everything

00:19:51.339 --> 00:19:52.819
 that naturally

00:19:52.819 --> 00:19:53.719
 belongs to

00:19:53.719 --> 00:19:54.139
 Jesus

00:19:54.139 --> 00:19:54.719
 becomes

00:19:54.719 --> 00:19:55.500
 ours

00:19:55.500 --> 00:19:56.859
 at the

00:19:56.859 --> 00:19:57.259
 cross

00:19:57.259 --> 00:19:57.839
 everything

00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.679
 that naturally

00:19:58.679 --> 00:19:59.339
 is ours

00:19:59.339 --> 00:19:59.799
 becomes

00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:00.259
 his

00:20:00.259 --> 00:20:01.279
 and because

00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:01.859
 he was

00:20:01.859 --> 00:20:02.539
 successful

00:20:02.539 --> 00:20:03.379
 at the

00:20:03.379 --> 00:20:03.720
 cross

00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:04.220
 in bringing

00:20:04.220 --> 00:20:04.839
 justification

00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:05.799
 for humanity

00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:06.859
 everything that

00:20:06.859 --> 00:20:07.299
 is his

00:20:07.299 --> 00:20:08.039
 now becomes

00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:08.559
 mine

00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:09.640
 and yours

00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:10.440
 in Christ

00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:12.079
 that's what

00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:12.799
 it means to

00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:13.339
 be one

00:20:13.339 --> 00:20:13.940
 with him

00:20:13.940 --> 00:20:14.819
 the new

00:20:14.819 --> 00:20:15.200
 testament

00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:15.920
 language is the

00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:16.519
 language of the

00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:17.519
 Christ is our

00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:18.379
 bridegroom and

00:20:18.379 --> 00:20:18.799
 we're his

00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:19.339
 bride

00:20:19.339 --> 00:20:20.480
 it's the

00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:21.359
 marriage

00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:22.039
 the marriage

00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:22.559
 union

00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:25.639
 it's what

00:20:25.639 --> 00:20:26.240
 we say

00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:26.619
 you know

00:20:26.619 --> 00:20:27.279
 I do

00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:27.799
 weddings

00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:28.839
 in my

00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:29.139
 gig

00:20:29.139 --> 00:20:29.559
 and

00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:30.459
 you know

00:20:30.459 --> 00:20:32.059
 your bride

00:20:32.059 --> 00:20:32.679
 and bridegroom

00:20:32.679 --> 00:20:33.059
 are there

00:20:33.059 --> 00:20:34.019
 and they

00:20:34.019 --> 00:20:34.839
 say words

00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:35.279
 like

00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:36.240
 with all

00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:36.519
 that I

00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:36.959
 am

00:20:36.959 --> 00:20:37.619
 and all

00:20:37.619 --> 00:20:37.959
 that I

00:20:37.959 --> 00:20:38.539
 have

00:20:38.539 --> 00:20:39.959
 I own

00:20:39.959 --> 00:20:40.159
 you

00:20:40.159 --> 00:20:41.159
 it's the

00:20:41.159 --> 00:20:41.379
 great

00:20:41.379 --> 00:20:42.119
 exchange

00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:43.739
 I

00:20:43.739 --> 00:20:44.879
 did the

00:20:44.879 --> 00:20:45.159
 same

00:20:45.159 --> 00:20:46.419
 27

00:20:46.419 --> 00:20:47.939
 odd

00:20:47.939 --> 00:20:48.599
 years ago

00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:49.719
 or something

00:20:49.719 --> 00:20:50.339
 27 and a

00:20:50.339 --> 00:20:50.719
 half years

00:20:50.719 --> 00:20:50.979
 ago

00:20:50.979 --> 00:20:51.319
 I think

00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:51.539
 that's

00:20:51.539 --> 00:20:51.719
 right

00:20:51.719 --> 00:20:53.079
 yeah

00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:56.859
 yes

00:20:56.859 --> 00:20:57.199
 it is

00:20:57.199 --> 00:20:57.519
 right

00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:01.559
 in my

00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:02.039
 case

00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:02.500
 I was

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:03.179
 a student

00:21:03.179 --> 00:21:04.559
 I had

00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:05.179
 a student

00:21:05.179 --> 00:21:05.579
 debt

00:21:05.579 --> 00:21:06.199
 I owed

00:21:06.199 --> 00:21:06.859
 my father

00:21:06.859 --> 00:21:07.179
 in law

00:21:07.179 --> 00:21:07.819
 $2,000

00:21:07.819 --> 00:21:08.659
 for our

00:21:08.659 --> 00:21:09.139
 honeymoon

00:21:09.140 --> 00:21:10.940
 and I

00:21:10.940 --> 00:21:11.240
 had

00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:11.660
 virtually

00:21:11.660 --> 00:21:12.440
 no money

00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:12.740
 in the

00:21:12.740 --> 00:21:13.080
 bank

00:21:13.080 --> 00:21:13.800
 and I

00:21:13.800 --> 00:21:14.180
 said to

00:21:14.180 --> 00:21:14.380
 Nat

00:21:14.380 --> 00:21:15.060
 all that I

00:21:15.060 --> 00:21:15.440
 am

00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:15.740
 and all

00:21:15.740 --> 00:21:16.060
 that I

00:21:16.060 --> 00:21:16.640
 have

00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:18.000
 is yours

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.860
 you are

00:21:20.860 --> 00:21:21.820
 now bound

00:21:21.820 --> 00:21:22.460
 with me

00:21:22.460 --> 00:21:23.360
 in debt

00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:26.440
 and that's

00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:27.160
 what happens

00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:27.720
 to the

00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:28.160
 Christian

00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:32.100
 the infinite

00:21:32.100 --> 00:21:32.860
 debt is

00:21:32.860 --> 00:21:33.740
 now his

00:21:33.740 --> 00:21:36.480
 and he

00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:37.040
 pays it

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:44.980
 you see

00:21:44.980 --> 00:21:45.399
 the death

00:21:45.399 --> 00:21:45.960
 and resurrection

00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:46.500
 of Jesus

00:21:46.500 --> 00:21:46.940
 is the

00:21:46.940 --> 00:21:47.259
 marriage

00:21:47.259 --> 00:21:47.559
 ceremony

00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:47.960
 for the

00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:48.319
 Christian

00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:49.759
 Romans

00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:50.440
 425

00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:51.039
 says

00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:51.740
 Jesus

00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:52.079
 was

00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:52.460
 delivered

00:21:52.460 --> 00:21:52.779
 up

00:21:52.779 --> 00:21:53.299
 for our

00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:54.119
 trespasses

00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:55.240
 and he

00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:56.220
 was raised

00:21:56.220 --> 00:21:57.299
 for our

00:21:57.299 --> 00:21:58.440
 justification

00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:02.460
 the

00:22:02.460 --> 00:22:03.099
 resurrection

00:22:03.099 --> 00:22:03.680
 I don't

00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:03.779
 know if

00:22:03.779 --> 00:22:03.899
 you've

00:22:03.899 --> 00:22:04.039
 thought

00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:04.200
 about

00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:04.359
 this

00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:04.579
 before

00:22:04.579 --> 00:22:04.899
 but the

00:22:04.899 --> 00:22:05.460
 resurrection

00:22:05.460 --> 00:22:06.279
 was the

00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:06.599
 act

00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:07.059
 by which

00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:07.419
 God

00:22:07.419 --> 00:22:07.879
 said

00:22:07.879 --> 00:22:08.099
 to

00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:08.399
 his

00:22:08.399 --> 00:22:08.819
 son

00:22:08.819 --> 00:22:10.419
 who

00:22:10.419 --> 00:22:10.899
 bore

00:22:10.899 --> 00:22:11.319
 our

00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:11.939
 sin

00:22:11.939 --> 00:22:14.379
 you

00:22:14.379 --> 00:22:14.740
 are

00:22:14.740 --> 00:22:15.459
 justified

00:22:15.459 --> 00:22:19.039
 you

00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:19.439
 are

00:22:19.439 --> 00:22:20.099
 justified

00:22:20.099 --> 00:22:23.419
 and

00:22:23.419 --> 00:22:23.919
 because

00:22:23.919 --> 00:22:24.219
 the

00:22:24.219 --> 00:22:24.740
 son

00:22:24.740 --> 00:22:25.119
 is

00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:25.959
 justified

00:22:25.959 --> 00:22:27.139
 Christ

00:22:27.139 --> 00:22:27.539
 is

00:22:27.539 --> 00:22:28.139
 justified

00:22:28.140 --> 00:22:28.880
 the

00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:29.320
 verdict

00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:29.320
 verdict

00:22:29.320 --> 00:22:29.740
 can

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:31.140
 never

 will

00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:31.920
 ever

00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:32.320
 ever

00:22:32.320 --> 00:22:32.600
 be

00:22:32.600 --> 00:22:33.200
 reversed

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:35.920
 and

00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:36.360
 when we're

00:22:36.360 --> 00:22:36.960
 united to

00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:37.340
 Christ

00:22:37.340 --> 00:22:37.780
 the same

00:22:37.780 --> 00:22:38.240
 is true

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:38.860
 of us

00:22:38.860 --> 00:22:40.280
 our

00:22:40.280 --> 00:22:40.860
 justification

00:22:40.860 --> 00:22:41.700
 is

00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:42.400
 participation

00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:43.700
 in

00:22:43.700 --> 00:22:44.520
 his

00:22:44.520 --> 00:22:45.220
 justification

00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:49.800
 and

00:22:49.800 --> 00:22:50.220
 so the

00:22:50.220 --> 00:22:50.580
 newest

00:22:50.580 --> 00:22:51.120
 Christian

00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:52.300
 world

00:22:52.300 --> 00:22:53.460
 is no

00:22:53.460 --> 00:22:53.759
 less

00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:54.340
 justified

00:22:54.340 --> 00:22:54.860
 than the

00:22:54.860 --> 00:22:55.100
 most

00:22:55.100 --> 00:22:55.540
 mature

00:22:55.540 --> 00:22:56.020
 Christian

00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:00.960
 in glory

00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:02.700

00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:02.960
 more

00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:03.480
 justified

00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:03.960
 than the

 most

 recent

00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:05.960
 Christ

00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:08.619
 we

00:23:08.619 --> 00:23:09.220
 receive

00:23:09.220 --> 00:23:09.700
 what is

00:23:09.700 --> 00:23:10.099
 properly

00:23:10.099 --> 00:23:10.759
 his

00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:12.480
 and he

00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:13.079
 receives

00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:13.420
 what is

00:23:13.420 --> 00:23:13.779
 properly

00:23:13.779 --> 00:23:14.519
 ours

00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:16.160
 and it

00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:16.480
 is the

00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:16.839
 fruit of

00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:17.019
 our

00:23:17.019 --> 00:23:17.440
 union

00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.360
 we

00:23:19.360 --> 00:23:19.539
 are

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:20.080
 clothed

00:23:20.080 --> 00:23:20.240
 in

00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:20.779
 his

00:23:20.779 --> 00:23:21.440
 righteousness

00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:23.180
 because

00:23:23.180 --> 00:23:23.660
 we

00:23:23.660 --> 00:23:23.980
 are

00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:24.700
 in

00:23:24.700 --> 00:23:25.240
 him

00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:31.320
 justification

00:23:31.320 --> 00:23:33.600
 when we

00:23:33.600 --> 00:23:34.140
 read

00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:34.380
 we're

00:23:34.380 --> 00:23:34.680
 justified

00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:34.900
 in

00:23:34.900 --> 00:23:35.360
 Christ

00:23:35.360 --> 00:23:36.380
 Christians

00:23:36.380 --> 00:23:36.799
 have a

00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:37.059
 tendency

00:23:37.059 --> 00:23:37.400
 to go

00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:37.660
 that

00:23:37.660 --> 00:23:37.860
 means

00:23:37.860 --> 00:23:38.019
 I'm

00:23:38.019 --> 00:23:38.360
 forgiven

00:23:38.360 --> 00:23:40.559
 that's

00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:40.779
 what the

00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:40.920
 word

00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:41.299
 justification

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:42.080
 means

00:23:42.080 --> 00:23:43.820
 justification

00:23:43.820 --> 00:23:44.820
 is not

00:23:44.820 --> 00:23:45.559
 less than

00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:46.019
 forgiveness

00:23:46.019 --> 00:23:46.559
 but it's

00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:46.980
 so much

00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:47.359
 more than

00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:47.759
 forgiveness

00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:50.680
 forgiveness

00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:51.400
 says

00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:51.980
 it's a

00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:52.259
 negative

00:23:52.259 --> 00:23:52.599
 term

00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:52.960
 forgiveness

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:53.700
 it says

00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:55.119
 you are

00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:55.759
 you are

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.200
 free

00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:57.339
 to go

00:23:57.339 --> 00:23:58.559
 there's no

00:23:58.559 --> 00:23:59.059
 more debt

00:23:59.059 --> 00:23:59.539
 to pay

00:23:59.539 --> 00:24:00.000
 you're free

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:00.299
 to go

00:24:00.299 --> 00:24:00.579
 that's what

00:24:00.579 --> 00:24:00.980
 forgiveness

00:24:00.980 --> 00:24:01.480
 is

00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:03.119
 justification

00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:04.220
 says

00:24:04.220 --> 00:24:05.400
 come

00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:08.640
 come

 you are

00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:11.640
 welcome

00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:12.100

00:24:12.100 --> 00:24:12.740
 all

00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:13.480
 that is

00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:13.900
 mine

00:24:13.900 --> 00:24:15.920
 all of

 my love

 mine

00:24:20.019 --> 00:24:20.840
 is yours

00:24:20.840 --> 00:24:22.180
 that's

00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:22.740
 justification

00:24:22.740 --> 00:24:25.759
 so how

00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:25.960
 do we

00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:27.140
 receive it

00:24:27.140 --> 00:24:29.660
 verse

00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:30.480
 22

00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:32.759
 25

00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:34.019
 26

00:24:34.019 --> 00:24:36.059
 it's

00:24:36.059 --> 00:24:36.519
 all

00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:37.220
 by

00:24:37.220 --> 00:24:37.819
 faith

00:24:37.819 --> 00:24:39.240
 we receive

00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:39.539
 it by

00:24:39.539 --> 00:24:40.000
 faith

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.900
 a person

00:24:40.900 --> 00:24:41.619
 is justified

00:24:41.619 --> 00:24:42.240
 approved

00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:43.139
 by God

00:24:43.139 --> 00:24:44.599
 validated

00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:45.180
 in right

00:24:45.180 --> 00:24:45.639
 standing

00:24:45.639 --> 00:24:46.500
 with God

00:24:46.500 --> 00:24:48.200
 by faith

00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:49.359
 in Jesus

00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:50.059
 Christ

00:24:50.059 --> 00:24:52.099
 now

00:24:52.099 --> 00:24:53.259
 we need

00:24:53.259 --> 00:24:53.500
 to be

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:53.920
 careful

00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:54.299
 here

00:24:54.299 --> 00:24:54.740
 because

00:24:54.740 --> 00:24:55.519
 there is

00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:56.099
 a bunch

00:24:56.099 --> 00:24:56.819
 of common

00:24:56.819 --> 00:24:57.339
 mistakes

00:24:57.339 --> 00:24:57.980
 with this

00:24:57.980 --> 00:24:59.119
 and

00:24:59.119 --> 00:24:59.700
 they're

00:24:59.700 --> 00:25:00.319
 subtle

00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:01.519
 subtle

00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:02.180
 mistakes

00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:05.480
 it is

00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:05.980
 so

00:25:05.980 --> 00:25:06.900
 often

00:25:06.900 --> 00:25:07.320
 that we

00:25:07.320 --> 00:25:07.860
 think

00:25:07.860 --> 00:25:08.720
 that the

00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:09.220
 faith

00:25:09.220 --> 00:25:10.039
 I have

00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:10.720
 it is

00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:11.160
 what the

00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:11.360
 thing

00:25:11.360 --> 00:25:11.580
 that

00:25:11.580 --> 00:25:12.400
 justifies

00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:12.720
 me

00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:13.440
 it's

00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:13.620
 my

00:25:13.620 --> 00:25:14.060
 faith

00:25:14.060 --> 00:25:14.279
 that

00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:14.920
 justifies

00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:15.220
 me

00:25:15.220 --> 00:25:16.640
 and

00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:17.160
 if I

00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:17.640
 think

00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:18.080
 it is

00:25:18.080 --> 00:25:18.320
 my

00:25:18.320 --> 00:25:18.799
 faith

00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:19.000
 that

00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:19.440
 saves

00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:19.620
 me

00:25:19.620 --> 00:25:19.779
 and

00:25:19.779 --> 00:25:20.340
 justifies

00:25:20.340 --> 00:25:20.720
 me

00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:21.600
 what

00:25:21.600 --> 00:25:21.940
 happens

00:25:21.940 --> 00:25:22.240
 is

00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:22.539
 I

00:25:22.539 --> 00:25:23.220
 stop

00:25:23.220 --> 00:25:23.820
 looking

00:25:23.820 --> 00:25:24.340
 to

00:25:24.340 --> 00:25:25.080
 Jesus

00:25:25.080 --> 00:25:26.940
 and

00:25:26.940 --> 00:25:27.360
 his

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:30.059
 and

00:25:30.059 --> 00:25:30.240
 I

00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:30.819
 start

00:25:30.819 --> 00:25:31.200
 looking

00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:31.539
 to

 my

00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:41.240
 and

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:41.419
 so

00:25:41.419 --> 00:25:41.659
 every

00:25:41.659 --> 00:25:42.039
 time

00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:42.419
 there's

00:25:42.419 --> 00:25:42.700
 a

00:25:42.700 --> 00:25:44.599
 failure

00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:45.399
 a sin

00:25:45.399 --> 00:25:46.059
 every

00:25:46.059 --> 00:25:46.419
 time

00:25:46.419 --> 00:25:46.599
 I'm

00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:46.759
 not

00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:47.059
 able

00:25:47.059 --> 00:25:47.619
 to

00:25:47.619 --> 00:25:49.700
 fulfill

00:25:49.700 --> 00:25:50.279
 the

00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:50.639
 Christian

00:25:50.639 --> 00:25:51.200
 life

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:51.839

00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:52.319
 crushes

00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:52.659
 me

00:25:52.659 --> 00:25:54.299
 every

00:25:54.299 --> 00:25:54.619
 time

00:25:54.619 --> 00:25:54.839
 there's

00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:54.980
 a

00:25:54.980 --> 00:25:55.359
 doubt

00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:55.599
 that

00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:55.960
 comes

00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:56.240
 in

00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:56.579
 I'm

00:25:56.579 --> 00:25:57.139
 stumble

00:25:57.140 --> 00:25:59.300
 when

00:25:59.300 --> 00:25:59.420
 I

00:25:59.420 --> 00:25:59.600
 don't

00:25:59.600 --> 00:26:00.060
 feel

00:26:00.060 --> 00:26:00.380
 right

00:26:00.380 --> 00:26:00.580
 with

00:26:00.580 --> 00:26:01.020
 God

00:26:01.020 --> 00:26:02.160
 I

00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:02.720
 stumble

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:04.820
 when

00:26:04.820 --> 00:26:04.940
 I'm

00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:05.100
 not

00:26:05.100 --> 00:26:05.759
 excited

00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:06.560
 as I

00:26:06.560 --> 00:26:06.960
 once

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:07.420
 was

00:26:07.420 --> 00:26:07.580
 in

00:26:07.580 --> 00:26:07.759
 the

00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:08.100
 presence

00:26:08.100 --> 00:26:08.320
 of

00:26:08.320 --> 00:26:08.600
 Christ

00:26:08.600 --> 00:26:08.860
 I

00:26:08.860 --> 00:26:09.420
 stumble

00:26:09.420 --> 00:26:12.240
 and

00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:12.480
 that's

00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:12.740
 because

00:26:12.740 --> 00:26:12.980
 I'm

00:26:12.980 --> 00:26:13.259
 trusting

00:26:13.259 --> 00:26:13.480
 in

00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:13.660
 my

00:26:13.660 --> 00:26:14.180
 faith

00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:21.800
 and

00:26:21.800 --> 00:26:22.100
 faith

00:26:22.100 --> 00:26:22.259
 has

00:26:22.259 --> 00:26:22.560
 become

00:26:22.560 --> 00:26:22.720
 a

00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:23.060
 work

00:26:23.060 --> 00:26:26.280
 so

00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:26.619
 imagine

00:26:26.619 --> 00:26:26.960
 someone

00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:27.299
 asked

00:35:09.980 --> 00:35:10.319
 is

00:35:10.319 --> 00:35:10.940
 fed

00:35:10.940 --> 00:35:11.420
 by

00:35:11.420 --> 00:35:12.420
 constantly

00:35:12.420 --> 00:35:13.420
 staying

00:35:13.420 --> 00:35:13.940
 there

00:35:13.940 --> 00:35:13.980
!

00:35:13.980 --> 00:35:18.400
 and

00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:18.780
 ever

00:35:18.780 --> 00:35:19.079
 more

00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:19.519
 deeply

00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:19.980
 going

00:35:19.980 --> 00:35:20.579
 into

00:35:20.579 --> 00:35:21.079
 the

00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:21.380
 event

00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:21.539
 of

00:35:21.539 --> 00:35:22.039
 justification

00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:22.760
 in

00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:23.220
 Christ

00:35:23.220 --> 00:35:24.880
 and

00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:25.059
 when

00:35:25.059 --> 00:35:25.320
 we

00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:25.740
 do

00:35:25.740 --> 00:35:27.159
 here's

00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:28.320
 what

00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:28.880
 happens

00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:29.780
 we

00:35:29.780 --> 00:35:30.079
 grow

00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:30.280
 in

00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:30.780
 humility

00:35:30.780 --> 00:35:31.360
 verse

00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:32.059
 27

00:35:32.059 --> 00:35:32.800
 then

00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:33.039
 what

00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:33.639
 becomes

00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:34.059
 of our

00:35:34.059 --> 00:35:34.500
 boasting

00:35:34.500 --> 00:35:34.960
 it's

00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:35.720
 excluded

00:35:35.720 --> 00:35:36.820
 by

00:35:36.820 --> 00:35:37.000
 what

00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:37.280
 kind

00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:37.440
 of

00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:37.820
 law

00:35:37.820 --> 00:35:38.360
 by

00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:38.820
 a

00:35:38.820 --> 00:35:39.019
 law

00:35:39.019 --> 00:35:39.260
 of

00:35:39.260 --> 00:35:39.800
 works

00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:40.599
 no

00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:40.940
 but

00:35:40.940 --> 00:35:41.360
 by

00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:41.640
 the

00:35:41.640 --> 00:35:41.920
 law

00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:42.180
 of

00:35:42.180 --> 00:35:42.640
 faith

00:35:42.640 --> 00:35:43.240
 the

00:35:43.240 --> 00:35:43.519
 very

00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:44.000
 first

00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:44.660
 effect

00:35:44.660 --> 00:35:45.420
 of

00:35:45.420 --> 00:35:45.980
 truly

00:35:45.980 --> 00:35:47.059
 understanding

00:35:47.059 --> 00:35:47.519
 how

00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:47.840
 we're

00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:48.300
 justified

00:35:48.300 --> 00:35:48.860
 in

00:35:48.860 --> 00:35:49.400
 Christ

00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:50.000
 is

00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:50.160
 the

00:35:50.160 --> 00:35:50.599
 removal

00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:51.039
 of

00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:51.320
 all

00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:51.800
 boasting

00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:52.300
 and

00:35:52.300 --> 00:35:52.500
 the

 word

 Paul's

 very

00:35:53.780 --> 00:35:54.800
 emphatic

00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:55.140
 here

00:35:55.140 --> 00:35:55.519
 in the

 Greek

00:35:55.720 --> 00:35:56.160
 language

00:35:56.160 --> 00:35:56.920
 it

00:35:56.920 --> 00:35:57.559

 excluded

 moral

00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:06.099
 righteousness

 entirely

00:36:09.059 --> 00:36:09.800
 excluded

00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:10.519
 it is

00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:11.160
 blank

00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:12.500
 there's

00:36:12.500 --> 00:36:12.839
 nothing

00:36:12.839 --> 00:36:13.519
 there

00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:19.679
 boasting

00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:20.279
 in

00:36:20.279 --> 00:36:20.859
 ourselves

00:36:20.859 --> 00:36:21.460
 cannot

00:36:21.460 --> 00:36:22.159
 coexist

00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:22.759
 with a

00:36:22.759 --> 00:36:23.039
 true

00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:23.539
 grasp

00:36:23.539 --> 00:36:24.179
 of what

00:36:24.179 --> 00:36:24.500
 Jesus

00:36:24.500 --> 00:36:24.819
 done

00:36:24.819 --> 00:36:25.059
 for

00:36:25.059 --> 00:36:25.359
 us

00:36:25.359 --> 00:36:26.259
 I

00:36:26.259 --> 00:36:26.739
 contribute

00:36:26.739 --> 00:36:27.399
 nothing

00:36:27.399 --> 00:36:27.819
 to my

00:36:27.819 --> 00:36:28.399
 salvation

00:36:28.399 --> 00:36:29.079
 other than

00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:29.299
 my

00:36:29.299 --> 00:36:29.920
 colossal

00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:29.920


00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:30.299
 need

00:36:30.299 --> 00:36:30.879
 for it

00:36:30.879 --> 00:36:34.799
 our

00:36:34.799 --> 00:36:35.299
 righteousness

00:36:35.299 --> 00:36:36.139
 is credited

00:36:36.139 --> 00:36:36.960
 and received

00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:37.480
 which means

00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:37.980
 I boast

00:36:37.980 --> 00:36:38.539
 in Christ

00:36:38.539 --> 00:36:38.859
 I give

00:36:38.859 --> 00:36:39.119
 glory

00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:39.679
 to God

00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:41.839
 and free

00:36:41.839 --> 00:36:42.539
 to see

00:36:42.539 --> 00:36:44.659
 and be

00:36:44.659 --> 00:36:45.259
 really

00:36:45.259 --> 00:36:46.219
 really

00:36:46.219 --> 00:36:46.819
 understand

00:36:46.819 --> 00:36:47.440
 for the

00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:48.000
 first time

00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:48.519
 who I

00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:48.879
 truly

00:36:48.879 --> 00:36:49.319
 am

00:36:49.319 --> 00:36:51.859
 another

00:36:51.859 --> 00:36:52.419
 thing that

00:36:52.419 --> 00:36:53.000
 flows from

00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:53.500
 justification

00:36:53.500 --> 00:36:54.619
 in Christ

00:36:54.619 --> 00:36:55.299
 is grateful

00:36:55.299 --> 00:36:55.839
 joy

00:36:55.839 --> 00:36:56.980
 and a deep

00:36:56.980 --> 00:36:57.539
 security

00:36:57.539 --> 00:36:58.239
 through all

00:36:58.239 --> 00:36:59.399
 the times

00:36:59.399 --> 00:37:00.099
 of uncertainty

00:37:00.099 --> 00:37:01.480
 my

00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:01.699
 joy

00:37:01.699 --> 00:37:02.019
 is not

00:37:02.019 --> 00:37:02.739
 rocked

00:37:02.739 --> 00:37:03.699
 because I

00:37:03.699 --> 00:37:04.219
 have the

00:37:04.219 --> 00:37:04.819
 praise and

00:37:04.819 --> 00:37:05.380
 the approval

00:37:05.380 --> 00:37:05.799
 of the

00:37:05.799 --> 00:37:06.339
 praiseworthy

00:37:06.339 --> 00:37:06.739
 one

00:37:06.739 --> 00:37:08.460
 it also

00:37:08.460 --> 00:37:09.259
 produces a

00:37:09.259 --> 00:37:09.519
 greater

00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:10.839
 identity and

00:37:10.839 --> 00:37:11.380
 purpose in

00:37:11.380 --> 00:37:11.779
 life

00:37:11.779 --> 00:37:13.179
 because we're

00:37:13.179 --> 00:37:13.880
 included in

00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:14.440
 God's great

00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:15.239
 plan for all

00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:15.699
 time and

00:37:15.699 --> 00:37:16.460
 space in

00:37:16.460 --> 00:37:17.380
 Jesus Christ

00:37:17.380 --> 00:37:19.079
 another one

00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:20.259
 assurance

00:37:20.260 --> 00:37:22.840
 knowing the

00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:23.460
 blessing of

00:37:23.460 --> 00:37:24.100
 the righteousness

00:37:24.100 --> 00:37:24.800
 of Jesus

00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:25.560
 Christ being

00:37:25.560 --> 00:37:26.520
 credited to

00:37:26.520 --> 00:37:28.420
 me is the

00:37:28.420 --> 00:37:30.120
 only way to

00:37:30.120 --> 00:37:31.180
 be liberated

00:37:31.180 --> 00:37:32.760
 to see who

00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:33.340
 I truly

00:37:33.340 --> 00:37:33.920
 am

00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:37.060
 too many

00:37:37.060 --> 00:37:37.980
 Christians are

00:37:37.980 --> 00:37:39.260
 shocked when

00:37:39.260 --> 00:37:40.080
 they fail

00:37:40.080 --> 00:37:43.120
 shocked when

00:37:43.120 --> 00:37:43.740
 they fail

00:37:43.740 --> 00:37:44.380
 and there's

00:37:44.380 --> 00:37:44.760
 plenty of

00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:45.280
 non-Christians

00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:45.580
 who are happy

00:37:45.580 --> 00:37:46.560
 to point it

00:37:46.560 --> 00:37:46.980
 out to you

00:37:46.980 --> 00:37:47.500
 as well

00:37:47.500 --> 00:37:49.420
 the reality

00:37:49.420 --> 00:37:50.420
 is we

00:37:50.420 --> 00:37:50.960
 should be

00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:51.699
 shocked when

00:37:51.699 --> 00:37:52.440
 we actually

00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:53.280
 don't fail

00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:56.420
 that's

00:37:56.420 --> 00:37:57.300
 where the

00:37:57.300 --> 00:37:57.800
 shock should

00:37:57.800 --> 00:37:58.340
 be

00:37:58.340 --> 00:38:05.199
 self-justification

00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:06.059
 leads to a

00:38:06.059 --> 00:38:06.500
 life of

00:38:06.500 --> 00:38:07.000
 ignoring

00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:07.980
 excusing

00:38:07.980 --> 00:38:09.420
 or despairing

00:38:09.420 --> 00:38:10.420
 over our

00:38:10.420 --> 00:38:11.219
 failures and

00:38:11.219 --> 00:38:11.880
 our flaws

00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:13.199
 we are

00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:14.280
 constantly worried

00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:14.699
 about what

00:38:14.699 --> 00:38:15.280
 people think

00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:15.739
 about us

00:38:15.739 --> 00:38:16.320
 we can't

00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:16.820
 take any

00:38:16.820 --> 00:38:17.420
 criticism

00:38:17.420 --> 00:38:18.559
 we want

00:38:18.559 --> 00:38:19.159
 to defend

00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:19.680
 ourselves

00:38:19.680 --> 00:38:20.619
 consistently

00:38:20.619 --> 00:38:21.940
 justification

00:38:21.940 --> 00:38:22.920
 by faith

00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:23.599
 in Christ

00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:24.220
 means there

00:38:24.220 --> 00:38:24.820
 is nothing

00:38:24.820 --> 00:38:25.700
 to defend

00:38:25.700 --> 00:38:28.960
 it's a

00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:29.659
 blank sheet

00:38:29.659 --> 00:38:30.280
 I've got

00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:30.700
 nothing to

00:38:30.700 --> 00:38:31.019
 offer

00:38:31.019 --> 00:38:31.920
 there is no

00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:32.380
 record of

00:38:32.380 --> 00:38:32.760
 righteousness

00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:33.460
 to defend

00:38:33.460 --> 00:38:37.619
 one more

00:38:37.619 --> 00:38:38.159
 justification

00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:39.220
 in Christ

00:38:39.220 --> 00:38:39.760
 gives us

00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:40.300
 hope when

00:38:40.300 --> 00:38:40.740
 hope is

00:38:40.740 --> 00:38:41.059
 gone

00:38:41.059 --> 00:38:42.619
 we have

00:38:42.619 --> 00:38:43.300
 no hope

00:38:43.300 --> 00:38:43.860
 for eternal

00:38:43.860 --> 00:38:44.539
 life except

00:38:44.539 --> 00:38:45.139
 that God has

00:38:45.139 --> 00:38:45.760
 promised that

00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:46.440
 in Christ

00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:46.840
 Jesus

00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:48.860
 and that

00:38:48.860 --> 00:38:49.240
 we can be

00:38:49.240 --> 00:38:49.760
 made right

00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:50.220
 with him

00:38:50.220 --> 00:38:51.900
 and that

00:38:51.900 --> 00:38:52.240
 means we

00:38:52.240 --> 00:38:52.579
 can face

00:38:52.579 --> 00:38:52.920
 the loss

00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:53.360
 of all

00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:53.960
 things that

00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:54.720
 we enjoy

00:38:54.720 --> 00:38:56.000
 and deeply

00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:57.059
 grieve those

00:38:57.059 --> 00:38:57.579
 things

00:38:57.579 --> 00:38:59.420
 when they're

00:38:59.420 --> 00:39:00.200
 taken away

00:39:00.200 --> 00:39:01.579
 and yet we

00:39:01.579 --> 00:39:02.100
 can still have

00:39:02.100 --> 00:39:02.460
 hope

00:39:02.460 --> 00:39:07.160
 because all

00:39:07.160 --> 00:39:07.460
 that is

00:39:07.460 --> 00:39:08.220
 Christ's

00:39:08.220 --> 00:39:09.640
 is mine

00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:12.219
 I'm united

00:39:12.219 --> 00:39:12.679
 with him

00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:14.579
 free

00:39:14.579 --> 00:39:15.159
 justification

00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:16.420
 in Christ

00:39:16.420 --> 00:39:16.779
 Jesus

00:39:16.779 --> 00:39:17.719
 makes every

00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:18.400
 difference to

00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:19.059
 where we are

00:39:19.059 --> 00:39:19.339
 heading

00:39:19.339 --> 00:39:20.639
 but also

00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:21.500
 to how we

00:39:21.500 --> 00:39:22.579
 act and how

00:39:22.579 --> 00:39:23.159
 we feel

00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:24.420
 now in both

00:39:24.420 --> 00:39:24.759
 the good

00:39:24.759 --> 00:39:26.059
 times and the

00:39:26.059 --> 00:39:26.839
 hard times

00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:30.579
 and the

00:39:30.579 --> 00:39:30.800
!

00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:31.900
 and the

00:39:31.900 --> 00:39:32.180
 other

00:39:32.180 --> 00:39:32.820
 things

00:39:32.820 --> 00:39:33.380
 are

00:39:33.380 --> 00:39:33.680
 going to be

00:39:33.680 --> 00:39:34.240
 to

00:39:34.240 --> 00:39:34.539
 the

00:39:34.539 --> 00:39:34.800
 end

00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:35.360
 of all
