00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.140
 Well, what we've been seeing in Ephesians over the past number of weeks is who the church is

00:00:08.140 --> 00:00:10.859
! From God's perspective, not from ours.

00:00:11.660 --> 00:00:20.359
 What we've seen is the church is central to God's plan for history, to unite all things under Jesus Christ.

00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:24.859
 It's a plan that he achieves through the death and resurrection of Jesus.

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:34.340
 It's a plan that's, in fact, being worked out right now through time and space, through his church,

00:00:34.379 --> 00:00:40.539
 as both Jews and Gentiles, people from every tribe, language and nations, are united together under the Lord Jesus.

00:00:40.859 --> 00:00:44.939
 That's really the summary of the first three chapters.

00:00:45.939 --> 00:00:59.500
 What we're starting to see now is that Christianity isn't about giving ourselves a little boost to live a better life,

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.700
 a better version of the life that we're currently living.

00:01:04.380 --> 00:01:09.219
 What we're seeing is that Christianity is nothing less than being a Christian,

00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:17.960
 is nothing less than a sweeping revolution that changes every aspect of life.

00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:26.319
 And this is what Paul is addressing in the opening verse in our section today,

00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:29.579
 which is what he's already been doing since the beginning of chapter 4,

00:01:29.899 --> 00:01:30.419
 where he says,

00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:45.480
 What our topic today is, Paul's calling us here, is to be transformed.

00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.859
 That is, to be who we already are.

00:01:49.859 --> 00:01:55.780
 So, four points, which is going to be our progression today.

00:01:56.219 --> 00:01:57.700
 First of all, already transformed.

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:06.819
 Now, the key to this whole section, and I'm really covering right through to chapter 5, verse 21,

00:02:06.819 --> 00:02:20.319
 the key to the section is verses 22 and 24, putting off the old self and putting on the new self.

00:02:21.239 --> 00:02:27.240
 Now, I need to get a little bit technical here for a moment, so just bear with me,

00:02:27.699 --> 00:02:30.039
 because it's really, really important.

00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:39.000
 I'm going to talk linguistics and language, and particularly in the original language of the New Testament,

00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:48.000
 the Greek language, both verse 22 and 24 is in what is called the aorist tense.

00:02:48.139 --> 00:02:52.299
 The verb there, to put on to put off, is in the aorist tense.

00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:59.039
 Now, the aorist tense is not something the English language, or virtually any other language, understands.

00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:04.759
 It doesn't, the aorist tense doesn't exist for English language.

00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:09.439
 But what it means, what the aorist tense means for Greek language,

00:03:10.399 --> 00:03:19.419
 is it's a single action that's happened in the past, that's finalised,

00:03:20.180 --> 00:03:24.859
 but has ongoing implications for my very present.

00:03:25.659 --> 00:03:27.340
 That's what the aorist tense means.

00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:34.579
 And what that means is, when you look at verse 22 and verse 24, putting on and putting off,

00:03:35.079 --> 00:03:42.180
 the Ephesians have already put off and have already put on.

00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:43.959
 That's what it means.

00:03:44.739 --> 00:03:45.539
 It's already happened.

00:03:45.539 --> 00:03:55.599
 And what it means is, in the past, there's been a conscious, decisive decision that they've made.

00:03:56.139 --> 00:04:04.680
 And it's been a decision to turn away from the old life, to take off the old life, like an old piece of garment,

00:04:05.079 --> 00:04:07.939
 and to put on a new self.

00:04:07.939 --> 00:04:13.539
 And what they've turned away from is described in verses 17 to 19.

00:04:13.539 --> 00:04:18.199
 You must no longer live, as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

00:04:18.620 --> 00:04:21.839
 They are darkening their understanding and separated from the life of God,

00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.219
 because of the ignorance that is in them, due to the hardening of their hearts,

00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:26.779
 having lost all sensitivity.

00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:32.379
 They have given themselves over to sensuality, so as to indulge in every kind of impurity.

00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:34.839
 And they are full of greed.

00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:43.719
 Now, what we have here in these verses is Paul's psychology of unbelief, of life without God.

00:04:45.139 --> 00:04:55.359
 This is how our minds and our hearts work when they are separated from what Paul says here is the life in God,

00:04:55.559 --> 00:04:56.519
 the life of God.

00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:01.339
 It's a life that is marked by futility and vanity.

00:05:01.339 --> 00:05:10.859
 It's a sense, if you like, of doing life, of an awful lot of work, doing an awful lot of things,

00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.819
 and not actually getting anywhere.

00:05:14.539 --> 00:05:19.500
 Of all of those things, still having a sense of hollowness to it all,

00:05:20.419 --> 00:05:21.979
 not accomplishing anything.

00:05:22.699 --> 00:05:25.719
 And this futility leads to verse 19.

00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:31.820
 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality,

00:05:31.900 --> 00:05:37.200
 so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.

00:05:37.780 --> 00:05:46.780
 This futility in life means that eventually we give ourselves over to things.

00:05:46.779 --> 00:05:54.679
 Now, they are things like pleasures and activities and indulgences in life.

00:05:54.779 --> 00:05:59.459
 They are things that, on the surface, might appear to be harmful and good for us,

00:05:59.579 --> 00:06:08.279
 but all of those things are designed to soothe this sense of futility and vanity in life.

00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:16.179
 They are things, you know, you might say things like, well, you know, life might be futile,

00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:22.379
 but maybe it'd be better if I could run a marathon under three hours.

00:06:23.579 --> 00:06:29.319
 And so that becomes the driving force of my life, or if I'm financially secure in retirement,

00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:33.959
 or I've got more than 2,000 friends on Facebook, or I get an ATAR over 98,

00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:38.419
 or my kids are happy, or I've got a career that I'm validated in,

00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:43.439
 or that I've got the ability to have holidays wherever and whenever I want.

00:06:45.299 --> 00:06:50.979
 And what it says here, all of those things become the markers for who we are,

00:06:51.679 --> 00:06:58.899
 and it's designed to soothe this sense that my life is futile and a vanity.

00:06:58.899 --> 00:07:04.979
 And then eventually it says we give ourselves to them.

00:07:05.939 --> 00:07:08.039
 That is, we give ourselves over to them.

00:07:08.060 --> 00:07:13.099
 In other words, that they become the controlling things in our life.

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:14.939
 They become the advantages of our life.

00:07:15.579 --> 00:07:17.959
 And we need it more and more and more.

00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:20.479
 I've achieved three hours marathon.

00:07:20.679 --> 00:07:22.919
 Maybe two and a half would be better now.

00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:29.340
 And it's a sense of I'm now controlled by the futility of life.

00:07:36.340 --> 00:07:43.300
 And that goes on, and I get busier and busier and busier

00:07:43.300 --> 00:07:52.660
 to try and hide the loud noise of futility that sits in my soul.

00:07:52.920 --> 00:08:01.480
 Until something forces me to stop and be confronted with the vanity of my life.

00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:06.200
 And that's what happened to the Ephesians in verses 20 and 22.

00:08:07.259 --> 00:08:11.980
 That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ

00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:15.540
 and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.

00:08:15.540 --> 00:08:20.760
 You were taught with regard to your former way of life to put off your old self,

00:08:20.840 --> 00:08:24.220
 which has been corrupted by its deceitful desires.

00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:33.600
 Now, again, there are three, another three verbs in there that are also in the aorist tense.

00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:42.680
 Decisive action in the past that's finished that is consequences for my present right now.

00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:53.079
 And what Paul's saying there is they lived in the futility of their life until a radical decision happened

00:08:53.079 --> 00:08:55.599
 and a radical change happened in their life.

00:08:57.019 --> 00:08:59.639
 In Christian circles, we call it conversion.

00:08:59.939 --> 00:09:02.099
 God calls it recreation.

00:09:02.939 --> 00:09:04.359
 He calls it new birth.

00:09:04.779 --> 00:09:06.679
 That's what Paul's referring to here.

00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:14.199
 It revolves the rejection of our former self, a life without God,

00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:20.859
 and the starting of an entire new life under and in God and under the lordship of Jesus.

00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:23.859
 And verse 20, the three verbs are,

00:09:23.859 --> 00:09:31.339
 you learned Christ, you heard Christ, and you were taught the truth that is in Christ.

00:09:31.340 --> 00:09:37.300
 What happened to them in the past is that they heard about Christ.

00:09:39.660 --> 00:09:42.780
 And then they heard the voice of Christ.

00:09:43.899 --> 00:09:47.899
 And in so doing, they discovered the truth that is Jesus.

00:09:50.019 --> 00:09:54.340
 And they turned from the old life to the new life.

00:09:55.840 --> 00:10:00.400
 They discovered the truth of who he is and what he has done for them.

00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:09.059
 And so what Paul's doing here in this first section is he's reminding the Ephesians here of their conversion,

00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:16.919
 of the moment that they took off their old self and they put on their new self,

00:10:18.019 --> 00:10:22.860
 when the truth of Jesus broke into their lives.

00:10:22.860 --> 00:10:25.600
 And he says,

00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:27.080
 you're already transformed.

00:10:30.940 --> 00:10:34.840
 But notice that in verses 25 and onwards,

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.519
 and if you read to the end of chapter 5,

00:10:38.659 --> 00:10:39.100
 and in fact,

00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.460
 keep going really into chapter 6,

00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:46.340
 there are various moral actions and behaviours

00:10:46.340 --> 00:10:49.080
 that Paul is calling the Ephesian church,

00:10:49.580 --> 00:10:50.160
 in fact,

00:10:50.300 --> 00:10:53.440
 some to put off and equally others to put on.

00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.680
 He's still calling them to put off and put on.

00:10:57.759 --> 00:10:58.500
 But crucially,

00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:04.720
 we need to understand that before you get to verse 25,

00:11:06.620 --> 00:11:08.780
 verses 17 and 20 to 24 are there.

00:11:09.800 --> 00:11:11.060
 They come first.

00:11:11.059 --> 00:11:18.059
 Verses 22 and 24 talk about putting off the old self and putting on the new self,

00:11:18.579 --> 00:11:25.719
 not about putting off old behaviours and putting on new behaviours.

00:11:26.719 --> 00:11:28.759
 It's talking about the self,

00:11:30.219 --> 00:11:31.099
 the person.

00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:34.460
 Christianity,

00:11:36.060 --> 00:11:37.540
 this is essential

00:11:37.540 --> 00:11:41.540
 because way too many people get this wrong

00:11:41.540 --> 00:11:44.720
 in the church and outside the church.

00:11:46.180 --> 00:11:50.159
 Christianity is about being someone

00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.399
 before it's doing something.

00:11:56.019 --> 00:11:57.379
 First and foremost,

00:11:57.379 --> 00:12:01.299
 it's about becoming a whole new self.

00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:05.159
 It is a comprehensive revolution

00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.899
 that changes who you are

00:12:08.899 --> 00:12:15.720
 before it revolutionarily changes what you do and how you live.

00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:19.659
 That's possibly the biggest

00:12:19.659 --> 00:12:23.700
 and most common mistake people make about Christianity.

00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:26.860
 morality

00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:31.080
 is not Christianity.

00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.980
 Even biblical morality

00:12:37.980 --> 00:12:41.680
 is not Christianity.

00:12:46.020 --> 00:12:49.879
 Christianity is not about becoming more moral.

00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:56.200
 This is how most people look at it.

00:12:56.539 --> 00:12:57.899
 And to be honest with you,

00:12:58.039 --> 00:12:58.200
 I've,

00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.399
 over more than three decades,

00:13:01.500 --> 00:13:02.759
 I've had this conversation

00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:04.960
 so many times with people

00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:05.960
 and I'm confident

00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.399
 that in my old life,

00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:10.620
 I asked exactly the same questions.

00:13:11.620 --> 00:13:12.679
 It goes something like this.

00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.399
 Look, I'm interested in becoming a Christian,

00:13:14.539 --> 00:13:15.200
 but I'm just wondering,

00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:16.960
 if I do become a Christian,

00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:19.000
 do I need to stop having sex

00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:20.040
 with my married co-worker?

00:13:21.460 --> 00:13:22.620
 Like, will I need to do that?

00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:24.660
 I'm just weighing up here,

00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:25.360
 you know,

00:13:26.780 --> 00:13:28.100
 will I have to give money away?

00:13:28.220 --> 00:13:29.220
 Do I need to do that?

00:13:29.900 --> 00:13:32.460
 Do I need to come to church at all?

00:13:33.340 --> 00:13:34.960
 Do I have to forgive my parents

00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:36.200
 for not giving me the Porsche

00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:37.600
 on my 18th birthday?

00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:39.560
 Because I haven't spoken to them for 10 years.

00:13:40.920 --> 00:13:41.940
 Like, do I need to do that?

00:13:41.940 --> 00:13:41.940


00:13:41.940 --> 00:13:42.020
 Now,

00:13:45.060 --> 00:13:47.860
 the answer is,

00:13:49.520 --> 00:13:49.780
 well,

00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:51.320
 yes,

00:13:52.520 --> 00:13:53.180
 ultimately,

00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:54.280
 in fact,

00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.000
 you'll see all of those behaviours

00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:57.540
 mentioned,

00:13:58.400 --> 00:13:59.920
 not in the details I just gave,

00:13:59.980 --> 00:14:01.580
 but you'll see them there

00:14:01.580 --> 00:14:02.280
 eventually,

00:14:02.900 --> 00:14:04.140
 but let me just say,

00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:06.940
 you've asked me the wrong questions

00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:09.640
 and you've got in Christianity

00:14:09.640 --> 00:14:11.140
 entirely wrong.

00:14:11.940 --> 00:14:13.160
 Entirely wrong.

00:14:14.880 --> 00:14:15.960
 Becoming a Christian

00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.080
 is about becoming a new person

00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:21.860
 before you live

00:14:21.860 --> 00:14:22.980
 with a new set of behaviours

00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:23.560
 and attitudes.

00:14:24.100 --> 00:14:25.060
 You haven't understood

00:14:25.060 --> 00:14:27.940
 what Christianity actually is

00:14:27.940 --> 00:14:29.820
 in asking those questions.

00:14:31.800 --> 00:14:33.280
 That's the first point.

00:14:34.060 --> 00:14:35.360
 Already transformed.

00:14:35.820 --> 00:14:36.240
 Secondly,

00:14:37.380 --> 00:14:39.800
 verse 25 says,

00:14:39.800 --> 00:14:41.200
 it starts with,

00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:41.700
 therefore.

00:14:42.800 --> 00:14:43.820
 And so what follows

00:14:43.820 --> 00:14:45.180
 is the implications

00:14:45.180 --> 00:14:46.140
 of the very fact

00:14:46.140 --> 00:14:47.420
 that they have already

00:14:47.420 --> 00:14:48.400
 taken off

00:14:48.400 --> 00:14:49.500
 and have put on.

00:14:50.520 --> 00:14:51.040
 Therefore,

00:14:51.520 --> 00:14:53.020
 because you have made

00:14:53.020 --> 00:14:53.660
 the decision

00:14:53.660 --> 00:14:55.160
 to throw off

00:14:55.160 --> 00:14:56.560
 your old self

00:14:56.560 --> 00:14:58.140
 once and for all,

00:14:59.640 --> 00:15:00.540
 you must now

00:15:00.540 --> 00:15:02.020
 put on

00:15:02.020 --> 00:15:04.220
 all conduct.

00:15:04.220 --> 00:15:06.379
 so you must continue

00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:07.040
 to put off

00:15:07.040 --> 00:15:07.860
 all conduct

00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:08.840
 that belongs

00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:09.779
 to the old self.

00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:10.879
 Throw it away.

00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:15.759
 And the point here

00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:16.879
 as we move on

00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:18.480
 is this new self

00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.660
 that we have taken on,

00:15:21.820 --> 00:15:22.759
 all of its behaviours

00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:23.420
 and attitudes,

00:15:23.779 --> 00:15:24.500
 you do not

00:15:24.500 --> 00:15:25.420
 naturally

00:15:25.420 --> 00:15:26.120
 drift

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:27.100
 into it.

00:15:27.100 --> 00:15:30.820
 doesn't just happen.

00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:34.960
 We must actively

00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:35.720
 put it on.

00:15:36.920 --> 00:15:37.700
 Chapter 4,

00:15:37.740 --> 00:15:38.120
 verse 1,

00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:39.019
 which Ash

00:15:39.019 --> 00:15:40.040
 took us to last week,

00:15:40.540 --> 00:15:41.580
 calls us,

00:15:41.680 --> 00:15:42.159
 the Christian,

00:15:42.560 --> 00:15:43.560
 to live worthy

00:15:43.560 --> 00:15:44.440
 of the kingdom

00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:45.379
 that we've been

00:15:45.379 --> 00:15:46.040
 called into.

00:15:47.040 --> 00:15:48.139
 Verse 17 says,

00:15:48.139 --> 00:15:48.940
 stop living

00:15:48.940 --> 00:15:49.620
 the old life.

00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:50.580
 Chapter 5,

00:15:50.620 --> 00:15:51.279
 verse 3

00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:52.980
 refers to the old life

00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:53.980
 being in brother

00:15:53.980 --> 00:15:55.320
 for God's people.

00:15:56.100 --> 00:15:56.500
 Instead,

00:15:56.800 --> 00:15:57.879
 he calls us

00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.039
 in chapter 5,

00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:00.960
 verse 1 and 2,

00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:02.440
 follow God's example

00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:02.879
 therefore

00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:04.860
 as dearly loved children

00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:06.279
 and walk

00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:07.019
 in the way

00:16:07.019 --> 00:16:07.779
 of love

00:16:07.779 --> 00:16:10.060
 just as Christ

00:16:10.060 --> 00:16:11.180
 loved us

00:16:11.180 --> 00:16:12.139
 and gave himself

00:16:12.139 --> 00:16:12.820
 up for us

00:16:12.820 --> 00:16:13.539
 as a fragrant

00:16:13.539 --> 00:16:14.639
 offering and sacrifice

00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:15.240
 to God.

00:16:17.820 --> 00:16:18.740
 Ephesians 2,

00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:19.659
 which I was,

00:16:19.920 --> 00:16:20.399
 took us there

00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:21.159
 a number of weeks

00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:21.879
 ago now,

00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:22.899
 says that

00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:24.100
 the very essence

00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:26.000
 of the old life

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:26.879
 of sin

00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:28.439
 is a life

00:16:28.439 --> 00:16:31.659
 which is centered

00:16:31.659 --> 00:16:34.120
 entirely on me.

00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:37.139
 It's a life

00:16:37.139 --> 00:16:39.360
 where everything

00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.319
 exists for my glory,

00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:42.240
 where my heart

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:42.980
 is curved

00:16:42.980 --> 00:16:43.720
 towards myself.

00:16:43.959 --> 00:16:45.079
 It's a life

00:16:45.079 --> 00:16:46.480
 fundamentally

00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:49.079
 that is selfish,

00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:50.579
 no matter how

00:16:50.580 --> 00:16:53.040
 we cover it up

00:16:53.040 --> 00:16:56.300
 and make it look good.

00:16:57.020 --> 00:16:58.480
 That's the old self

00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:00.639
 and what we see here,

00:17:01.280 --> 00:17:02.400
 the new self

00:17:02.400 --> 00:17:05.299
 and all its behaviors

00:17:05.299 --> 00:17:06.440
 and attitudes

00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.720
 is the exact opposite.

00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.160
 it's a life

00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:13.740
 as chapter 5

00:17:13.740 --> 00:17:14.600
 tells us there,

00:17:14.700 --> 00:17:15.779
 a life of love.

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:17.980
 It's a life

00:17:17.980 --> 00:17:18.920
 of personal

00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:20.019
 sacrifice,

00:17:21.019 --> 00:17:21.720
 of giving

00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:23.140
 and serving

00:17:23.140 --> 00:17:24.400
 and forgiving.

00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:27.440
 In fact,

00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:28.079
 everything

00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:29.319
 that's listed here

00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:30.900
 is about

00:17:30.900 --> 00:17:32.660
 building

00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:33.940
 relationships,

00:17:35.180 --> 00:17:35.579
 loving

00:17:35.579 --> 00:17:36.619
 others.

00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:41.000
 Third point,

00:17:41.139 --> 00:17:41.779
 how do we do that

00:17:41.779 --> 00:17:42.019
 then?

00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:43.119
 How to be transformed,

00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:43.859
 how to continue

00:17:43.859 --> 00:17:44.720
 to be transformed.

00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:45.779
 I want to spend

00:17:45.779 --> 00:17:46.319
 a bit of time

00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:46.859
 on this one

00:17:46.859 --> 00:17:48.259
 because,

00:17:48.699 --> 00:17:49.039
 frankly,

00:17:49.419 --> 00:17:50.599
 we all want

00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:51.419
 to change

00:17:51.419 --> 00:17:53.079
 and

00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.039
 it's one of the

00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:57.319
 preoccupations,

00:17:57.460 --> 00:17:57.779
 in fact,

00:17:57.779 --> 00:17:58.199
 of our

00:17:58.199 --> 00:17:59.259
 society

00:17:59.259 --> 00:18:00.440
 and yet

00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:01.240
 we always

00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:01.680
 struggle

00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:02.920
 to change.

00:18:04.420 --> 00:18:05.259
 It's one of the

00:18:05.259 --> 00:18:05.740
 things we kick

00:18:05.740 --> 00:18:06.640
 ourselves for,

00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:07.759
 how quickly

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:08.240
 we have

00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:09.259
 New Year's Eve

00:18:09.259 --> 00:18:09.980
 resolutions

00:18:09.980 --> 00:18:11.119
 and

00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:12.960
 90-something

00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:13.500
 percent

00:18:13.500 --> 00:18:14.019
 fail

00:18:14.019 --> 00:18:14.500
 before the

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:15.220
 end of January.

00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:16.819
 Struggle

00:18:16.819 --> 00:18:17.480
 to change.

00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:19.059
 So,

00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:19.559
 the first thing

00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:20.259
 we need to do,

00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:21.480
 there's three points

00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:21.660
 here,

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:22.299
 and the first thing

00:18:22.299 --> 00:18:22.740
 is we need

00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:23.879
 a new motive,

00:18:23.980 --> 00:18:24.720
 a different motive

00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:25.640
 to change.

00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:28.580
 that is what

00:18:28.580 --> 00:18:28.860
 it's saying

00:18:28.860 --> 00:18:29.900
 is that

00:18:29.900 --> 00:18:30.900
 the reason

00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:32.280
 why we

00:18:32.280 --> 00:18:33.340
 do things

00:18:33.340 --> 00:18:34.740
 is critical.

00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:36.440
 It matters

00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:37.280
 critically.

00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:39.900
 Why we do

00:18:39.900 --> 00:18:40.420
 the things

00:18:40.420 --> 00:18:41.160
 we do

00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:42.240
 absolutely

00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:42.840
 matters.

00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:44.860
 It matters

00:18:44.860 --> 00:18:45.980
 so much

00:18:45.980 --> 00:18:47.220
 because it's

00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:47.640
 in fact

00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:48.340
 possible

00:18:48.340 --> 00:18:49.540
 to do

00:18:49.540 --> 00:18:51.000
 the entirely

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:52.360
 right things

00:18:52.360 --> 00:18:52.840
 to do,

00:18:53.060 --> 00:18:53.680
 to even

00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:54.259
 live with

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:55.360
 Christian morality

00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:57.879
 and to

00:18:57.879 --> 00:18:58.339
 do it

00:18:58.339 --> 00:18:58.639
 for the

00:18:58.639 --> 00:18:58.839
 wrong

00:18:58.839 --> 00:18:59.419
 reasons.

00:19:01.419 --> 00:19:01.659
 For

00:19:01.659 --> 00:19:01.979
 instance,

00:19:02.459 --> 00:19:03.719
 let's

00:19:03.719 --> 00:19:04.039
 take

00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:04.679
 raising

00:19:04.679 --> 00:19:05.199
 children.

00:19:07.879 --> 00:19:08.559
 And you

00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:08.879
 want to

00:19:08.879 --> 00:19:09.319
 raise your

00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:10.019
 child to

00:19:10.019 --> 00:19:10.679
 be truthful.

00:19:11.719 --> 00:19:12.459
 The main

00:19:12.459 --> 00:19:13.759
 ways that

00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:14.539
 we raise

00:19:14.539 --> 00:19:15.379
 children

00:19:15.379 --> 00:19:16.439
 ethically

00:19:16.439 --> 00:19:16.819
 and say,

00:19:16.899 --> 00:19:17.159
 for instance,

00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:17.619
 in the issue

00:19:17.619 --> 00:19:18.219
 of truth,

00:19:18.879 --> 00:19:19.359
 the main

00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:19.719
 ways we

00:19:19.719 --> 00:19:20.279
 do that

00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:21.379
 is through

00:19:21.379 --> 00:19:22.000
 fear

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:23.939
 or pride.

00:19:24.199 --> 00:19:24.719
 Fear or

00:19:24.719 --> 00:19:25.019
 pride,

00:19:25.019 --> 00:19:25.339
 or maybe

00:19:25.339 --> 00:19:25.940
 a combination

00:19:25.940 --> 00:19:26.519
 of both.

00:19:27.259 --> 00:19:27.960
 Fear says

00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:28.519
 something like

00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:28.879
 this,

00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:29.559
 you better

00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:30.000
 tell the

00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:30.400
 truth or

00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:30.579
 I'll

00:19:30.579 --> 00:19:31.220
 punish you.

00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:34.160
 Liars,

00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:36.160
 or God

00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:36.379
 will be

00:19:36.379 --> 00:19:36.859
 angry with

00:19:36.859 --> 00:19:37.119
 you,

00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:38.539
 or even

00:19:38.539 --> 00:19:38.940
 take it

00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:39.339
 even further,

00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:39.920
 all liars

00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:40.220
 go to

00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:40.460
 hell.

00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:42.759
 Or you're

00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:43.019
 going to get

00:19:43.019 --> 00:19:43.720
 found out,

00:19:44.379 --> 00:19:44.839
 and if you

00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:45.299
 get found

00:19:45.299 --> 00:19:45.879
 out, people

00:19:45.879 --> 00:19:46.440
 won't trust

00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:46.680
 you, they

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:47.139
 won't like

00:19:47.139 --> 00:19:47.440
 you.

00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:49.180
 That's

00:19:49.180 --> 00:19:50.680
 fear.

00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:54.039
 pride says

00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:56.240
 something like,

00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:58.860
 oh, awful

00:19:58.860 --> 00:19:59.700
 people lie.

00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:01.840
 Awful, awful

00:20:01.840 --> 00:20:02.680
 people lie.

00:20:03.180 --> 00:20:03.779
 Truthful people

00:20:03.779 --> 00:20:04.160
 are good

00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:05.380
 people, but

00:20:05.380 --> 00:20:06.120
 awful people

00:20:06.120 --> 00:20:07.019
 are bad,

00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:07.759
 bad people.

00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:08.880
 God will

00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:09.779
 bless you if

00:20:09.779 --> 00:20:10.380
 you tell the

00:20:10.380 --> 00:20:10.860
 truth.

00:20:10.859 --> 00:20:10.979
 truth.

00:20:15.179 --> 00:20:15.719
 And so

00:20:15.719 --> 00:20:16.179
 what happens

00:20:16.179 --> 00:20:16.479
 in that

00:20:16.479 --> 00:20:17.579
 moment is

00:20:17.579 --> 00:20:18.799
 an external

00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:19.979
 pressure for

00:20:19.979 --> 00:20:20.539
 fear or

00:20:20.539 --> 00:20:21.079
 pride.

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:22.339
 Fear, I

00:20:22.339 --> 00:20:22.699
 don't want to

00:20:22.699 --> 00:20:23.259
 get caught, I

00:20:23.259 --> 00:20:23.519
 don't want to

00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:24.119
 be punished.

00:20:26.299 --> 00:20:27.179
 Pride, I

00:20:27.179 --> 00:20:27.399
 don't want to

00:20:27.399 --> 00:20:27.839
 be like the

00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:28.419
 awful people,

00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:28.799
 and if I'm

00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:29.179
 not like the

00:20:29.179 --> 00:20:29.539
 awful people,

00:20:29.619 --> 00:20:29.919
 therefore I'm

00:20:29.919 --> 00:20:30.119
 a good

00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:30.479
 person.

00:20:31.539 --> 00:20:31.899
 Fear and

00:20:31.899 --> 00:20:32.179
 pride.

00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:34.119
 External

00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:35.619
 pressures to

00:20:35.619 --> 00:20:35.959
 tell the

00:20:35.959 --> 00:20:36.439
 truth.

00:20:38.619 --> 00:20:39.279
 And the

00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:40.159
 reason

00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:42.740
 the reason

00:20:42.740 --> 00:20:43.420
 I will

00:20:43.420 --> 00:20:43.980
 tell the

00:20:43.980 --> 00:20:45.680
 truth is

00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:46.460
 because I'm

00:20:46.460 --> 00:20:47.180
 motivated by

00:20:47.180 --> 00:20:48.000
 self-interest.

00:20:50.580 --> 00:20:51.279
 That's the

00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:51.960
 reason I do

00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:52.100
 it.

00:20:52.580 --> 00:20:53.320
 It's about

00:20:53.320 --> 00:20:53.920
 me.

00:20:55.220 --> 00:20:55.620
 It's got

00:20:55.620 --> 00:20:56.300
 nothing to

00:20:56.300 --> 00:20:57.300
 do with

00:20:57.300 --> 00:20:59.320
 damaging the

00:20:59.320 --> 00:20:59.779
 life of the

00:20:59.779 --> 00:21:00.360
 person that I'm

00:21:00.360 --> 00:21:01.060
 lying to.

00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:01.640
 It's got

00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:02.300
 nothing to

00:21:02.300 --> 00:21:02.720
 do with

00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:02.900
 whether it

00:21:02.900 --> 00:21:03.519
 honors God

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:03.900
 or not.

00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:04.360
 It's about

00:21:04.360 --> 00:21:04.920
 me.

00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:05.700
 And it's

00:21:05.700 --> 00:21:06.340
 no different

00:21:06.340 --> 00:21:07.120
 than Ephesians

00:21:07.120 --> 00:21:07.820
 2 and my

00:21:07.820 --> 00:21:08.500
 life being

00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:09.279
 curved in

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:10.000
 on myself.

00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:12.500
 And so I

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:13.160
 pursue

00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:14.480
 Christian

00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:16.040
 morality for

00:21:16.040 --> 00:21:16.800
 my sake.

00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:21.980
 And that

00:21:21.980 --> 00:21:22.680
 works for a

00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:23.240
 little while.

00:21:24.220 --> 00:21:25.000
 But then

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:25.440
 there's a

00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:25.960
 time when

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:26.420
 telling the

00:21:26.420 --> 00:21:27.060
 truth doesn't

00:21:27.060 --> 00:21:27.640
 work for me

00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:28.240
 because there's

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:28.800
 something else

00:21:28.800 --> 00:21:29.180
 that's even

00:21:29.180 --> 00:21:29.960
 more valuable

00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:30.680
 to me in my

00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:31.140
 identity.

00:21:31.840 --> 00:21:32.120
 And that

00:21:32.120 --> 00:21:32.620
 might be,

00:21:32.740 --> 00:21:33.320
 for instance,

00:21:34.820 --> 00:21:35.540
 being rich.

00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:35.579
 rich.

00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:37.599
 And so

00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:38.240
 when the

00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:38.899
 opportunity

00:21:38.899 --> 00:21:40.180
 presents

00:21:40.180 --> 00:21:40.879
 itself,

00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:43.539
 I will

00:21:43.539 --> 00:21:44.059
 lie,

00:21:44.700 --> 00:21:45.119
 I will

00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:45.899
 falsify,

00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:46.680
 I will

00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:47.220
 embezzle.

00:21:49.399 --> 00:21:50.019
 And if I

00:21:50.019 --> 00:21:50.279
 ever get

00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:50.879
 caught out in

00:21:50.879 --> 00:21:51.339
 that moment

00:21:51.339 --> 00:21:51.740
 for doing

00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:52.240
 those things,

00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:52.539
 I go,

00:21:52.639 --> 00:21:53.119
 I don't know

00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:53.339
 what happened

00:21:53.339 --> 00:21:53.619
 to me.

00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:54.799
 This is not

00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:55.480
 who I am.

00:21:56.159 --> 00:21:56.700
 I'm not a

00:21:56.700 --> 00:21:56.920
 liar.

00:21:57.019 --> 00:21:57.460
 I was not

00:21:57.460 --> 00:21:57.839
 brought up

00:21:57.839 --> 00:21:58.240
 to be a

00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:58.500
 liar.

00:21:59.299 --> 00:22:00.000
 And the

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:00.440
 answer to

00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:00.879
 that is,

00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:01.000
 well,

00:22:01.060 --> 00:22:01.780
 of course

00:22:01.780 --> 00:22:03.080
 you are.

00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:04.260
 Of course

00:22:04.260 --> 00:22:04.680
 you were

00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:05.200
 brought up

00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:05.840
 to lie.

00:22:07.600 --> 00:22:08.260
 You were

00:22:08.260 --> 00:22:08.640
 brought up

00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:08.940
 to make

00:22:08.940 --> 00:22:09.820
 everything about

00:22:09.820 --> 00:22:10.260
 you,

00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:10.780
 and that is

00:22:10.780 --> 00:22:11.520
 why you've

00:22:11.520 --> 00:22:12.000
 embezzled.

00:22:12.080 --> 00:22:12.720
 It's why

00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:13.480
 you've lied.

00:22:13.980 --> 00:22:14.680
 It's why

00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:14.980
 you're

00:22:14.980 --> 00:22:15.600
 falsified.

00:22:16.380 --> 00:22:17.020
 You've been

00:22:17.020 --> 00:22:17.680
 practicing

00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:19.320
 new self

00:22:19.320 --> 00:22:20.680
 behaviors out

00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:21.340
 of an old

00:22:21.340 --> 00:22:22.420
 self heart.

00:22:28.180 --> 00:22:28.940
 And it's

00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:29.460
 been working

00:22:29.460 --> 00:22:30.040
 for a little

00:22:30.040 --> 00:22:30.580
 while.

00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:31.820
 But ultimately

00:22:31.820 --> 00:22:32.540
 it doesn't.

00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:34.180
 And there

00:22:34.180 --> 00:22:34.760
 are churches

00:22:34.760 --> 00:22:35.920
 all over

00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:36.620
 this country

00:22:36.620 --> 00:22:37.540
 right now,

00:22:38.380 --> 00:22:38.940
 like this

00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:39.260
 one,

00:22:39.420 --> 00:22:39.760
 meeting,

00:22:40.340 --> 00:22:40.720
 and there

00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:41.220
 are people

00:22:41.220 --> 00:22:42.120
 sitting beside

00:22:42.120 --> 00:22:42.720
 each other

00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:43.320
 in those

00:22:43.320 --> 00:22:43.840
 churches,

00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:45.400
 living with

00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:47.200
 the same

00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:48.640
 moral frameworks,

00:22:49.460 --> 00:22:50.080
 but doing

00:22:50.080 --> 00:22:50.460
 it for

00:22:50.460 --> 00:22:51.240
 entirely

00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:51.680
 different

00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:52.300
 reasons.

00:22:53.760 --> 00:22:54.460
 Entirely

00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:54.700
 different

00:22:54.700 --> 00:22:55.240
 reasons.

00:22:55.660 --> 00:22:55.960
 There are

00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:56.400
 those who

00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:56.720
 are doing

00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:57.220
 it because

00:22:57.220 --> 00:22:57.680
 they hope

00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:58.340
 God approves

00:22:58.340 --> 00:22:58.760
 of them in

00:22:58.760 --> 00:22:59.200
 the end,

00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:01.000
 or because

00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:01.480
 it makes

00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:01.840
 them feel

00:23:01.840 --> 00:23:02.600
 superior to

00:23:02.600 --> 00:23:03.100
 those who

00:23:03.100 --> 00:23:03.420
 are not

00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:03.799
 living the

00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:04.200
 way they're

00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:04.480
 living,

00:23:05.180 --> 00:23:05.539
 fear and

00:23:05.539 --> 00:23:05.840
 pride.

00:23:07.220 --> 00:23:07.600
 And there

00:23:07.600 --> 00:23:08.019
 are those

00:23:08.019 --> 00:23:08.180
 who are

00:23:08.180 --> 00:23:08.559
 doing it

00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:09.140
 simply out

00:23:09.140 --> 00:23:10.259
 of gratitude.

00:23:10.259 --> 00:23:13.400
 for God's

00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:13.700
 grace

00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:14.379
 in Jesus

00:23:14.379 --> 00:23:14.960
 Christ,

00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:15.940
 taking them

00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:16.579
 from darkness

00:23:16.579 --> 00:23:17.160
 to light,

00:23:17.859 --> 00:23:18.460
 from death

00:23:18.460 --> 00:23:19.079
 to life,

00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:20.420
 from the

00:23:20.420 --> 00:23:20.819
 old self

00:23:20.819 --> 00:23:21.140
 to the

00:23:21.140 --> 00:23:21.799
 new self,

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:22.839
 and so

00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:23.440
 they're doing

00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:24.140
 the life

00:23:24.140 --> 00:23:24.539
 they're doing,

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:24.980
 they're living

00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:25.379
 the life,

00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:25.740
 they have the

00:23:25.740 --> 00:23:26.079
 behaviours,

00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:26.460
 they're just

00:23:26.460 --> 00:23:27.539
 out of joy,

00:23:27.539 --> 00:23:31.720
 out of joy.

00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:33.960
 So that's

00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:34.279
 the first

00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:34.599
 thing we

00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:34.920
 need to

00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:35.399
 change,

00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:36.859
 to really

00:23:36.859 --> 00:23:37.220
 change,

00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:37.519
 and that's

00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:37.940
 a different

00:23:37.940 --> 00:23:39.440
 motive from

00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:40.019
 the heart,

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:41.680
 an internal

00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:42.279
 motive as

00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:42.720
 opposed to

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:43.139
 external

00:23:43.139 --> 00:23:43.759
 compliance.

00:23:43.899 --> 00:23:44.319
 The second

00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:45.879
 source of

00:23:45.879 --> 00:23:46.740
 this new,

00:23:46.879 --> 00:23:47.619
 and the

00:23:47.619 --> 00:23:48.039
 second thing,

00:23:48.220 --> 00:23:48.700
 and I think

00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:49.039
 it's the

00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:50.700
 source of

00:23:50.700 --> 00:23:51.119
 this new

00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:51.460
 motive,

00:23:51.779 --> 00:23:52.460
 is we need

00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:52.960
 a new

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:53.599
 identity.

00:23:55.159 --> 00:23:55.960
 We've seen

00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:56.240
 that we've

00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:56.879
 been made

00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:57.380
 an entirely

00:23:57.380 --> 00:23:57.920
 new person

00:23:57.920 --> 00:23:58.380
 in Jesus

00:23:58.380 --> 00:23:58.880
 Christ.

00:23:59.220 --> 00:23:59.800
 Chapter 5,

00:23:59.840 --> 00:24:00.400
 verse 1,

00:24:00.840 --> 00:24:01.300
 is the

00:24:01.300 --> 00:24:01.840
 Christian's

00:24:01.840 --> 00:24:02.580
 new identity.

00:24:03.100 --> 00:24:03.700
 Follow God's

00:24:03.700 --> 00:24:04.080
 example,

00:24:04.260 --> 00:24:04.520
 therefore,

00:24:05.280 --> 00:24:06.240
 as dearly

00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:07.240
 loved

00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:07.980
 children.

00:24:08.600 --> 00:24:09.180
 Verse 3,

00:24:09.540 --> 00:24:10.000
 his holy

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:10.480
 people.

00:24:11.320 --> 00:24:11.960
 Verse 8,

00:24:12.280 --> 00:24:12.760
 you are his

00:24:12.760 --> 00:24:13.100
 children.

00:24:13.780 --> 00:24:14.300
 Light

00:24:14.300 --> 00:24:15.920
 in the

00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:16.320
 Lord,

00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:18.180
 which means

00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:20.300
 in

00:24:20.300 --> 00:24:21.520
 Christ,

00:24:22.860 --> 00:24:23.800
 you are

00:24:23.800 --> 00:24:25.260
 light,

00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:26.160
 not dark.

00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:27.100
 You've

00:24:27.100 --> 00:24:27.280
 been

00:24:27.280 --> 00:24:28.600
 forgiven

00:24:28.600 --> 00:24:29.080
 and made

00:24:29.080 --> 00:24:29.620
 new in

00:24:29.620 --> 00:24:29.920
 him.

00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:31.140
 That is,

00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:31.980
 God has

00:24:31.980 --> 00:24:32.520
 loved us,

00:24:32.560 --> 00:24:32.800
 he has

00:24:32.800 --> 00:24:33.440
 chosen us,

00:24:33.500 --> 00:24:33.840
 he has

00:24:33.840 --> 00:24:34.620
 called us,

00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:34.880
 he has

00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:35.440
 forgiven us,

00:24:35.500 --> 00:24:35.640
 he's

00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:36.140
 redeemed us,

00:24:36.140 --> 00:24:36.580
 he's filled

00:24:36.580 --> 00:24:36.760
 us,

00:24:36.800 --> 00:24:37.340
 he's changing

00:24:37.340 --> 00:24:37.620
 us,

00:24:37.840 --> 00:24:38.400
 and one

00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:38.700
 day he

00:24:38.700 --> 00:24:39.360
 will glorify

00:24:39.360 --> 00:24:39.820
 us.

00:24:40.300 --> 00:24:40.460
 The

00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:41.020
 almighty

00:24:41.020 --> 00:24:41.660
 God,

00:24:41.800 --> 00:24:42.700
 who alone

00:24:42.700 --> 00:24:43.540
 is holy,

00:24:43.700 --> 00:24:44.000
 who is

00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:45.220
 all-powerful,

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:46.040
 who is

00:24:46.040 --> 00:24:46.880
 perfect,

00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:47.620
 he has

00:24:47.620 --> 00:24:48.880
 set his

00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:50.140
 unconditional,

00:24:50.540 --> 00:24:51.220
 undeserved,

00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:52.020
 sacrificial,

00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:52.620
 adopting,

00:24:52.840 --> 00:24:53.780
 redeeming love,

00:24:54.040 --> 00:24:55.020
 on you,

00:24:55.460 --> 00:24:56.020
 the Christian.

00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:58.800
 And it

00:24:58.800 --> 00:24:59.220
 is

00:24:59.220 --> 00:25:01.360
 all a

00:25:01.360 --> 00:25:01.800
 gift.

00:25:03.840 --> 00:25:04.720
 Not one

00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:06.100
 moral act

00:25:06.100 --> 00:25:06.600
 on your

00:25:06.600 --> 00:25:07.320
 behalf

00:25:07.320 --> 00:25:08.620
 has caused

00:25:08.620 --> 00:25:09.120
 him to

00:25:09.120 --> 00:25:09.600
 turn his

00:25:09.600 --> 00:25:10.360
 face towards

00:25:10.360 --> 00:25:10.700
 you.

00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:13.700
 Not one

00:25:13.700 --> 00:25:14.760
 positive good

00:25:14.760 --> 00:25:15.260
 thing that

00:25:15.260 --> 00:25:15.880
 you've done

00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:16.780
 has made

00:25:16.780 --> 00:25:17.540
 him approve

00:25:17.540 --> 00:25:18.020
 of you.

00:25:18.019 --> 00:25:20.740
 it is

00:25:20.740 --> 00:25:21.859
 all about

00:25:21.859 --> 00:25:22.639
 him and

00:25:22.639 --> 00:25:23.000
 his

00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:23.619
 perfection

00:25:23.619 --> 00:25:24.319
 and

00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:25.079
 desiring

00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:26.460
 to impute

00:25:26.460 --> 00:25:26.980
 it to

00:25:26.980 --> 00:25:27.420
 us,

00:25:27.859 --> 00:25:28.819
 to give

00:25:28.819 --> 00:25:29.160
 it to

00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:29.440
 us as

00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:30.039
 a gift.

00:25:32.660 --> 00:25:33.119
 And he

00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:33.759
 knows

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:35.099
 already

00:25:35.099 --> 00:25:36.379
 the darkness

00:25:36.379 --> 00:25:36.819
 of the

00:25:36.819 --> 00:25:37.160
 heart,

00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:37.879
 the hardness

00:25:37.879 --> 00:25:38.220
 of the

00:25:38.220 --> 00:25:38.420
 heart,

00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:38.980
 the greed,

00:25:39.139 --> 00:25:39.859
 the debauchery,

00:25:39.940 --> 00:25:40.700
 the impurity.

00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:42.279
 He knows

00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:43.139
 it all.

00:25:43.140 --> 00:25:47.259
 And yet

00:25:47.259 --> 00:25:47.920
 he's still

00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:49.020
 set his

00:25:49.020 --> 00:25:49.800
 face towards

00:25:49.800 --> 00:25:50.280
 us,

00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:53.140
 designed

00:25:53.140 --> 00:25:53.800
 to love

00:25:53.800 --> 00:25:55.620
 and to

00:25:55.620 --> 00:25:56.060
 take us

00:25:56.060 --> 00:25:56.480
 from old

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:56.840
 to new.

00:25:59.540 --> 00:26:00.320
 And it's

00:26:00.320 --> 00:26:01.259
 because of

00:26:01.259 --> 00:26:01.720
 who the

00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:02.280
 gift giver

00:26:02.280 --> 00:26:02.980
 is,

00:26:03.540 --> 00:26:03.980
 in his

00:26:03.980 --> 00:26:04.320
 sovereign

00:26:04.320 --> 00:26:04.920
 grace,

00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:07.060
 what he

00:26:07.060 --> 00:26:07.560
 has set

00:26:07.560 --> 00:26:08.100
 his face

00:26:08.100 --> 00:26:08.700
 towards us,

00:26:08.740 --> 00:26:09.340
 his love

00:26:09.340 --> 00:26:09.880
 in determining

00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:10.380
 us that we

00:26:10.380 --> 00:26:10.840
 are his

00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:11.359
 children,

00:26:12.419 --> 00:26:12.879
 that will

00:26:12.879 --> 00:26:13.299
 never

00:26:13.299 --> 00:26:14.059
 change.

00:26:15.679 --> 00:26:16.459
 That will

00:26:16.459 --> 00:26:16.819
 never

00:26:16.819 --> 00:26:17.519
 change.

00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:18.939
 As I

00:26:18.939 --> 00:26:19.419
 said to my

00:26:19.419 --> 00:26:19.839
 group on

00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:20.519
 Friday night,

00:26:21.179 --> 00:26:21.839
 there is

00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:22.919
 no sin

00:26:22.919 --> 00:26:25.419
 so small

00:26:25.419 --> 00:26:26.639
 that it's

00:26:26.639 --> 00:26:28.139
 not eternally

00:26:28.139 --> 00:26:28.899
 damnable.

00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:32.539
 And there

00:26:32.539 --> 00:26:33.799
 is no sin

00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:35.359
 so great

00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:38.000
 that it's

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:38.659
 not eternally

00:26:38.659 --> 00:26:39.139
 forgivable.

00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:46.000
 you see,

00:26:46.579 --> 00:26:47.199
 deep and

00:26:47.199 --> 00:26:47.519
 enduring

00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:48.379
 change in

00:26:48.379 --> 00:26:49.259
 life comes

00:26:49.259 --> 00:26:49.699
 from an

00:26:49.699 --> 00:26:50.079
 internal

00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:50.599
 motive,

00:26:52.199 --> 00:26:52.799
 and the

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:53.259
 only

00:26:53.259 --> 00:26:54.099
 energizing

00:26:54.099 --> 00:26:55.019
 motive is

00:26:55.019 --> 00:26:55.740
 an entirely

00:26:55.740 --> 00:26:56.359
 new

00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:56.919
 identity.

00:26:58.359 --> 00:26:58.779
 And as

00:26:58.779 --> 00:26:59.319
 we grow to

00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:00.259
 understand who

00:27:00.259 --> 00:27:01.299
 we are as

00:27:01.299 --> 00:27:02.000
 his children,

00:27:02.299 --> 00:27:02.720
 it will

00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:03.359
 shape our

00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:03.919
 hearts in

00:27:03.919 --> 00:27:04.359
 such a

00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:04.720
 way,

00:27:06.399 --> 00:27:08.539
 change our

00:27:08.539 --> 00:27:09.139
 motives in

00:27:09.139 --> 00:27:09.579
 such a

00:27:09.579 --> 00:27:10.399
 way that we

00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:10.940
 will take

00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:11.759
 on his

00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:12.100
 new

00:27:12.100 --> 00:27:14.200
 framework of

00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:16.960
 life in

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:17.860
 determining what

00:27:17.860 --> 00:27:18.940
 is right and

00:27:18.940 --> 00:27:19.860
 what is wrong,

00:27:19.980 --> 00:27:20.900
 what is good and

00:27:20.900 --> 00:27:21.680
 what is bad for

00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:22.300
 my life.

00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:23.420
 And we will

00:27:23.420 --> 00:27:24.440
 live into

00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:24.920
 that.

00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:30.600
 so where do

00:27:30.600 --> 00:27:31.240
 you get your

00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:32.100
 ethical framework

00:27:32.100 --> 00:27:32.560
 from?

00:27:33.580 --> 00:27:33.960
 Where does it

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:34.400
 come from?

00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:37.680
 TV,

00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:38.840
 family,

00:27:39.740 --> 00:27:41.019
 your culture,

00:27:41.779 --> 00:27:42.259
 friends,

00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:43.039
 social media,

00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:44.640
 maybe it's just

00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:45.340
 a vibe,

00:27:46.340 --> 00:27:46.900
 a feeling.

00:27:49.539 --> 00:27:50.220
 Like Donald

00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:50.759
 Trump said,

00:27:50.820 --> 00:27:51.519
 the war in Iran

00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:52.720
 will end when I,

00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:53.180
 he said,

00:27:53.180 --> 00:27:53.799
 I'll feel it

00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:54.620
 in my bones.

00:27:56.500 --> 00:27:57.220
 Maybe that's

00:27:57.220 --> 00:27:57.400
 it.

00:27:58.019 --> 00:27:59.060
 It feels the

00:27:59.060 --> 00:27:59.680
 right thing to

00:27:59.680 --> 00:27:59.860
 do.

00:27:59.980 --> 00:28:00.160
 I mean,

00:28:00.180 --> 00:28:00.700
 I laugh at

00:28:00.700 --> 00:28:01.019
 that,

00:28:01.600 --> 00:28:02.820
 but that is

00:28:02.820 --> 00:28:03.240
 the current

00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:04.080
 young generation.

00:28:04.539 --> 00:28:05.360
 It feels like

00:28:05.360 --> 00:28:05.920
 the right thing

00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:06.320
 to do.

00:28:07.600 --> 00:28:08.299
 Or is it

00:28:08.299 --> 00:28:08.720
 God and

00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:09.380
 his word?

00:28:10.980 --> 00:28:11.259
 You see,

00:28:11.360 --> 00:28:11.900
 it's not

00:28:11.900 --> 00:28:12.600
 until the

00:28:12.600 --> 00:28:13.039
 source of

00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:13.440
 right and

00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:14.380
 wrong shifts

00:28:14.380 --> 00:28:15.620
 to God's

00:28:15.620 --> 00:28:16.740
 word do we

00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:17.880
 actually change.

00:28:18.220 --> 00:28:18.980
 And it shifts

00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:19.660
 because of our

00:28:19.660 --> 00:28:20.500
 new identity.

00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:20.680
 identity.

00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:26.779
 Our new

00:28:26.779 --> 00:28:27.180
 identity

00:28:27.180 --> 00:28:27.559
 is shading

00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:28.019
 a new

00:28:28.019 --> 00:28:28.460
 motive.

00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:30.539
 There's a

00:28:30.539 --> 00:28:31.380
 parallel passage

00:28:31.380 --> 00:28:32.119
 to this,

00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:33.099
 Ephesians

00:28:33.099 --> 00:28:33.460
 passage,

00:28:33.779 --> 00:28:34.220
 in the

00:28:34.220 --> 00:28:34.700
 book of

00:28:34.700 --> 00:28:35.220
 Colossians.

00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:35.839
 Paul also

00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:36.440
 wrote that.

00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:37.539
 Chapter 3,

00:28:37.619 --> 00:28:38.319
 verse 16,

00:28:38.819 --> 00:28:39.359
 Paul writes,

00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:39.880
 let the word

00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:40.640
 of God dwell

00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:41.200
 in you

00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:41.740
 richly.

00:28:42.900 --> 00:28:43.279
 Now,

00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:43.680
 what he's

00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:44.180
 saying there

00:28:44.180 --> 00:28:44.740
 in Colossians

00:28:44.740 --> 00:28:45.440
 3.16,

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:46.119
 it's not

00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:46.420
 just,

00:28:46.539 --> 00:28:46.619
 oh,

00:28:46.700 --> 00:28:46.980
 you know,

00:28:47.460 --> 00:28:48.019
 read the

00:28:48.019 --> 00:28:48.319
 Bible.

00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:51.379
 He's not

00:28:51.379 --> 00:28:51.759
 just simply

00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:52.639
 saying here,

00:28:53.419 --> 00:28:53.740
 read the

00:28:53.740 --> 00:28:54.099
 Bible,

00:28:54.579 --> 00:28:54.839
 you know,

00:28:54.939 --> 00:28:55.179
 a chapter

00:28:55.179 --> 00:28:55.539
 a day will

00:28:55.539 --> 00:28:55.819
 keep the

00:28:55.819 --> 00:28:56.259
 devil away

00:28:56.259 --> 00:28:56.599
 kind of

00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:56.960
 stuff,

00:28:57.359 --> 00:28:57.759
 keep God

00:28:57.759 --> 00:28:58.139
 happy.

00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:00.460
 It's in

00:29:00.460 --> 00:29:01.159
 fact having

00:29:01.159 --> 00:29:01.779
 God's

00:29:01.779 --> 00:29:03.099
 word imminently

00:29:03.099 --> 00:29:03.079
!

00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:05.059
 present in

00:29:05.059 --> 00:29:05.700
 your heart,

00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:06.259
 the driving

00:29:06.259 --> 00:29:06.759
 center of

00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:07.419
 your life

00:29:07.419 --> 00:29:08.019
 through your

00:29:08.019 --> 00:29:08.500
 mind.

00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:10.639
 It's pushing

00:29:10.639 --> 00:29:11.939
 the reality

00:29:11.939 --> 00:29:12.700
 of God's

00:29:12.700 --> 00:29:14.659
 word down

00:29:14.659 --> 00:29:15.500
 into the

00:29:15.500 --> 00:29:16.159
 very center

00:29:16.159 --> 00:29:16.599
 and the

00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:17.119
 driving

00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:17.519
 being of

00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:18.159
 my life.

00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:19.480
 So let's

00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:19.819
 go back

00:29:19.819 --> 00:29:20.519
 to Ephesians

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:20.879
 now.

00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:22.000
 Remember

00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:23.279
 I said

00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:23.919
 Ephesians

00:29:23.919 --> 00:29:25.359
 verse 22

00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:26.539
 and 24

00:29:26.539 --> 00:29:27.119
 were in

00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:27.419
 the what

00:29:27.419 --> 00:29:27.819
 tense?

00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:31.000
 The

00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:34.159
 aorist

00:29:34.159 --> 00:29:34.579
 tense.

00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:38.960
 A single

00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:39.939
 past action

00:29:39.939 --> 00:29:40.419
 that's

00:29:40.419 --> 00:29:41.019
 completed

00:29:41.019 --> 00:29:41.799
 with present

00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:42.559
 consequences.

00:29:43.099 --> 00:29:43.519
 I've already

00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:43.939
 taken off

00:29:43.939 --> 00:29:44.200
 the old

00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:44.339
 self,

00:29:44.399 --> 00:29:44.720
 already put

00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:44.939
 on the

00:29:44.939 --> 00:29:45.119
 new

00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:45.439
 self.

00:29:46.059 --> 00:29:46.759
 In the

00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:47.159
 middle of

00:29:47.159 --> 00:29:47.839
 verses 22

00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:49.439
 and 24

00:29:49.439 --> 00:29:50.279
 logically is

00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:50.959
 verse 23

00:29:50.959 --> 00:29:53.139
 as it

00:29:53.139 --> 00:29:53.500
 happens.

00:29:55.679 --> 00:29:55.939
 And

00:29:55.939 --> 00:29:56.819
 verse 23

00:29:56.819 --> 00:29:58.139
 is how

00:29:58.139 --> 00:29:59.059
 we consistently

00:29:59.059 --> 00:29:59.639
 take off

00:29:59.639 --> 00:29:59.939
 the old

00:29:59.939 --> 00:30:00.179

00:30:00.179 --> 00:30:00.399
 on the

00:30:00.399 --> 00:30:00.639
 new.

00:30:01.779 --> 00:30:02.439
 Verse 23

00:30:02.439 --> 00:30:03.319
 is how

00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:03.819
 it happens.

00:30:04.740 --> 00:30:05.000
 And

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:05.619
 verse 23

00:30:05.619 --> 00:30:06.659
 is not

00:30:06.659 --> 00:30:07.579

00:30:07.879 --> 00:30:08.199

00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:11.860
 It's

00:30:11.860 --> 00:30:12.220
 in,

00:30:12.220 --> 00:30:13.480
 for those

00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:13.980
 with pens

00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:14.299
 you might

00:30:14.299 --> 00:30:14.580
 want to

00:30:14.580 --> 00:30:15.000
 write this

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:15.299
 down,

00:30:15.600 --> 00:30:15.880
 don't,

00:30:15.940 --> 00:30:16.140
 because it

00:30:16.140 --> 00:30:16.440
 probably won't

00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:16.799
 mean anything

00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:17.059
 to you

00:30:17.059 --> 00:30:17.279
 anyway.

00:30:19.420 --> 00:30:20.360
 Verse 23

00:30:26.220 --> 00:30:26.900
 And let

 me tell

00:30:27.180 --> 00:30:27.420

00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:29.720
 It

 being done

00:30:38.360 --> 00:30:38.840
 to you.

00:30:41.299 --> 00:30:41.880
 That's

00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:42.180
 what that

00:30:42.180 --> 00:30:42.480
 means.

00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:44.279
 And a

00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:44.880
 good way

00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:45.840
 to read

00:30:45.840 --> 00:30:48.440
 verse

00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:50.440
 23

00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:52.180
 is

00:30:52.180 --> 00:30:52.500
 something

00:30:52.500 --> 00:30:53.380
 like this.

00:30:54.580 --> 00:30:55.180
 Constantly

00:30:55.180 --> 00:30:56.039
 be made

00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:56.660
 new

00:30:56.660 --> 00:30:57.240
 in the

00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:57.779
 spirit

00:30:57.779 --> 00:30:58.120
 of your

00:30:58.120 --> 00:30:58.680
 thinking.

00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:05.620
 be made

00:31:05.620 --> 00:31:05.860
 new.

00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:06.240
 So in

00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:06.539
 other words

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:06.860
 you are

00:31:06.860 --> 00:31:07.539
 being made

00:31:07.539 --> 00:31:07.840
 new.

00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:08.880
 That is

00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:09.160
 something

00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:09.400
 that's

00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:10.060
 being done

00:31:10.060 --> 00:31:10.700
 to you

00:31:10.700 --> 00:31:11.160
 while you

00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:11.580
 were doing

00:31:11.580 --> 00:31:11.940
 it.

00:31:14.100 --> 00:31:14.580
 Now

00:31:14.580 --> 00:31:15.279
 what he's

00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:15.860
 saying there

00:31:15.860 --> 00:31:16.240
 is he

00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:16.600
 didn't just

00:31:16.600 --> 00:31:17.240
 say because

00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:17.519
 he'd been

00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:18.080
 made renewed

00:31:18.080 --> 00:31:18.660
 as you

00:31:18.660 --> 00:31:19.000
 read the

00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:19.240
 Bible.

00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:20.600
 Or as

00:31:20.600 --> 00:31:21.039
 you think.

00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:21.640
 He didn't

00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:21.960
 just say

00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:22.200
 as you

00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:22.480
 think.

00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:24.360
 It's

00:31:24.360 --> 00:31:24.700
 literally

00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:25.420
 the spirit

00:31:25.420 --> 00:31:25.660
 of your

00:31:25.660 --> 00:31:25.960
 thinking

00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:26.380
 which is

00:31:26.380 --> 00:31:27.500
 a very

00:31:27.500 --> 00:31:28.080
 unusual

00:31:28.080 --> 00:31:28.660
 term.

00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:29.980
 for Paul.

00:31:32.779 --> 00:31:33.320
 It's

00:31:33.320 --> 00:31:33.759
 more than

00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:34.160
 rational

00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:34.700
 thought.

00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:36.440
 It is

00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:37.220
 more

00:31:37.220 --> 00:31:37.700
 the spirit

00:31:37.700 --> 00:31:37.920
 of your

00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:38.160
 thinking

00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:38.640
 is more

00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:39.019
 like the

00:31:39.019 --> 00:31:39.820
 idea of

00:31:39.820 --> 00:31:40.620
 the direction

00:31:40.620 --> 00:31:41.039
 of your

00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:41.480
 thinking.

00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:43.000
 It is

00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:43.820
 the state

00:31:43.820 --> 00:31:44.120
 of your

00:31:44.120 --> 00:31:44.660
 mind.

00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:45.799
 It is

00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:46.400
 the inner

00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:47.160
 life of

00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:47.360
 your

00:31:47.360 --> 00:31:47.980
 thinking.

00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:49.820
 To have

00:31:49.820 --> 00:31:50.660
 or as

00:31:50.660 --> 00:31:51.120
 some

00:31:51.120 --> 00:31:51.660
 commentators

00:31:51.660 --> 00:31:52.100
 have put it

00:31:52.100 --> 00:31:53.259
 it is

00:31:53.259 --> 00:31:54.380
 be renewed

00:31:54.380 --> 00:31:55.080
 by having

00:31:55.080 --> 00:31:55.480
 your

00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:57.200
 imagination

00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:58.560
 being taken

00:31:58.559 --> 00:31:59.279
 captive.

00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:04.539
 By what?

00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:08.579
 Verse 20

00:32:08.579 --> 00:32:09.859
 and 21

00:32:09.859 --> 00:32:10.419
 again.

00:32:11.179 --> 00:32:11.779
 That however

00:32:11.779 --> 00:32:12.539
 is not the

00:32:12.539 --> 00:32:13.059
 way of life

00:32:13.059 --> 00:32:13.599
 you learned

00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:13.980
 when you

00:32:13.980 --> 00:32:14.399
 were heard

00:32:14.399 --> 00:32:15.259
 about Christ

00:32:15.259 --> 00:32:16.500
 were taught

00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:17.019
 in him

00:32:17.019 --> 00:32:17.799
 in accordance

00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:18.940
 with the

00:32:18.940 --> 00:32:19.539
 truth that

00:32:19.539 --> 00:32:20.019
 is in

00:32:20.019 --> 00:32:20.379
 Jesus.

00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:22.240
 The way

00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:23.000
 to be

00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:23.859
 constantly

00:32:23.859 --> 00:32:24.559
 renewed

00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:25.179
 in the

00:32:25.179 --> 00:32:25.819
 spirit of

00:32:25.819 --> 00:32:26.019
 our

00:32:26.019 --> 00:32:26.559
 thinking

00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:27.720
 is not

00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:28.480
 to focus

00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:29.019
 on

00:32:29.019 --> 00:32:29.660
 Christian

00:32:29.660 --> 00:32:31.339
 morality

00:32:31.339 --> 00:32:32.119
 or Christian

00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:32.859
 principles

00:32:32.859 --> 00:32:33.579
 or Christian

00:32:33.579 --> 00:32:33.980
 ethics

00:32:33.980 --> 00:32:34.619
 or even

00:32:34.619 --> 00:32:35.160
 dare I

00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:35.460
 say

00:32:35.460 --> 00:32:35.839
 key

00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:36.539
 doctrines.

00:32:37.819 --> 00:32:38.779
 It is

00:32:38.779 --> 00:32:39.579
 to focus

00:32:39.579 --> 00:32:40.240
 not on a

00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:40.720
 principle

00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:42.619
 not on a

00:32:42.619 --> 00:32:43.039
 dogma

00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:44.500
 but on a

00:32:44.500 --> 00:32:45.000
 person.

00:32:46.220 --> 00:32:47.079
 It's to

00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:47.559
 focus on a

00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:47.920
 person.

00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:50.380
 not even

00:32:50.380 --> 00:32:50.660
 on a

00:32:50.660 --> 00:32:51.060
 title

00:32:51.060 --> 00:32:52.920
 but on a

00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:53.300
 person.

00:32:55.940 --> 00:32:56.620
 And the

00:32:56.620 --> 00:32:57.039
 reason I

00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:57.600
 say that

00:32:57.600 --> 00:32:59.240
 interesting

00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:00.620
 again

00:33:00.620 --> 00:33:01.560
 verse 21

00:33:01.560 --> 00:33:03.140
 is the

00:33:03.140 --> 00:33:04.539
 only time

00:33:04.539 --> 00:33:06.180
 in all

00:33:06.180 --> 00:33:06.900
 of Ephesians

00:33:06.900 --> 00:33:08.820
 where Paul

00:33:08.820 --> 00:33:09.800
 doesn't use

00:33:09.800 --> 00:33:10.420
 the term

00:33:10.420 --> 00:33:10.880
 Jesus

00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:11.420
 Christ

00:33:11.420 --> 00:33:11.860
 Christ

00:33:11.860 --> 00:33:12.240
 Jesus

00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:12.880
 or simply

00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:13.380
 Christ

00:33:13.380 --> 00:33:14.640
 he says

00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:15.780
 Jesus.

00:33:16.800 --> 00:33:17.100
 It's the

00:33:17.100 --> 00:33:17.820
 only time

00:33:17.820 --> 00:33:19.580
 he says

00:33:19.580 --> 00:33:20.040
 Jesus.

00:33:21.660 --> 00:33:22.440
 That's

00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:22.640
 what he

00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:22.960
 writes.

00:33:24.560 --> 00:33:25.180
 And normally

00:33:25.180 --> 00:33:26.020
 in Ephesians

00:33:26.020 --> 00:33:26.340
 he's

00:33:26.340 --> 00:33:27.180
 emphasizing the

00:33:27.180 --> 00:33:27.840
 lordship of

00:33:27.840 --> 00:33:28.400
 Christ over

00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:29.360
 all things

00:33:29.360 --> 00:33:30.200
 and here

00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:30.760
 he draws

00:33:30.760 --> 00:33:31.500
 their attention

00:33:31.500 --> 00:33:32.680
 to the

00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:33.200
 man

00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:33.720
 Jesus.

00:33:35.120 --> 00:33:35.960
 Why?

00:33:37.300 --> 00:33:38.120
 Because

00:33:38.120 --> 00:33:38.900
 the key

00:33:38.900 --> 00:33:41.680
 the key

00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:41.980
 to being

00:33:41.980 --> 00:33:42.660
 transformed

00:33:42.660 --> 00:33:43.180
 from the

00:33:43.180 --> 00:33:44.000
 inside out

00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:44.400
 giving us

00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:44.779
 a new

00:33:44.779 --> 00:33:45.300
 identity

00:33:45.300 --> 00:33:46.019
 and a

00:33:46.019 --> 00:33:46.180
 new

00:33:46.180 --> 00:33:46.680
 motive

00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:49.420
 and all

00:33:49.420 --> 00:33:49.600
 its

00:33:49.600 --> 00:33:50.120
 behaviors

00:33:50.120 --> 00:33:50.740
 you know

00:33:50.740 --> 00:33:51.160
 taking off

00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:51.480
 the old

00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:51.700
 self

00:33:51.700 --> 00:33:51.940
 with all

00:33:51.940 --> 00:33:52.019
 its

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:52.259
 behaviors

00:33:52.259 --> 00:33:52.620
 and putting

00:33:52.620 --> 00:33:52.880
 on the

00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:53.019
 new

00:33:53.019 --> 00:33:53.220
 self

00:33:53.220 --> 00:33:53.519
 with all

00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:53.759
 of its

00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:54.340
 characteristics

00:33:54.340 --> 00:33:54.800
 and behaviors

00:33:54.800 --> 00:33:55.360
 becoming

00:33:55.360 --> 00:33:55.900
 more loving

00:33:55.900 --> 00:33:56.640
 more selfless

00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:57.259
 more forgiving

00:33:57.259 --> 00:33:58.840
 is to be

00:33:58.840 --> 00:34:00.019
 captivated by

00:34:00.019 --> 00:34:00.700
 the man

00:34:00.700 --> 00:34:01.200
 Jesus.

00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:07.480
 You see

00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:09.340
 the Christian

00:34:09.340 --> 00:34:09.960
 life

00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:11.039
 and what

00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:11.420
 Paul's

00:34:11.420 --> 00:34:11.920
 calling us

00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:12.619
 to here

00:34:12.619 --> 00:34:13.380
 Christian

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:13.759
 ethics

00:34:13.759 --> 00:34:14.139
 Christian

00:34:14.139 --> 00:34:14.440
 behavior

00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:14.759
 Christian

00:34:14.759 --> 00:34:15.219
 morality

00:34:15.219 --> 00:34:15.980
 makes

00:34:15.980 --> 00:34:17.039
 absolutely

00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:18.239
 no sense

00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:19.339
 at all

00:34:19.339 --> 00:34:20.980
 unless

00:34:20.980 --> 00:34:21.539
 they are

00:34:21.539 --> 00:34:22.259
 seen

00:34:22.259 --> 00:34:23.819
 through the

00:34:23.819 --> 00:34:24.500
 lens of

00:34:24.500 --> 00:34:25.119
 the person

00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:25.639
 Jesus.

00:34:27.579 --> 00:34:28.299
 No

00:34:28.299 --> 00:34:28.839
 sense.

00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:31.759
 That's

00:34:31.759 --> 00:34:32.219
 why when

00:34:32.219 --> 00:34:32.859
 the person

00:34:32.859 --> 00:34:33.319
 says you

00:34:33.319 --> 00:34:33.960
 know do

00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:34.239
 I need

00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:34.880
 to stop

00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:35.639
 gossiping

00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:36.460
 and become

00:34:36.460 --> 00:34:36.980
 a Christian?

00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:38.579
 You know

00:34:38.579 --> 00:34:39.059
 well I need

00:34:39.059 --> 00:34:39.619
 to stop

00:34:39.619 --> 00:34:40.279
 that life

00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:40.960
 of slander

00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:41.500
 and gossip

00:34:41.500 --> 00:34:41.920
 in order

00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:42.160
 to be

00:34:42.160 --> 00:34:42.580
 a Christian

00:34:42.580 --> 00:34:43.200
 you've

00:34:43.200 --> 00:34:43.680
 not

00:34:43.680 --> 00:34:44.160
 understood

00:34:44.160 --> 00:34:44.800
 Christianity.

00:34:46.060 --> 00:34:46.620
 You're

00:34:46.620 --> 00:34:47.220
 focusing on

00:34:47.220 --> 00:34:47.700
 a behavior

00:34:47.700 --> 00:34:48.100
 not a

00:34:48.100 --> 00:34:48.620
 person

00:34:48.620 --> 00:34:50.320
 and when

00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:51.080
 you see

00:34:51.080 --> 00:34:51.660
 the person

00:34:51.660 --> 00:34:52.000
 you'll

00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:52.780
 understand

00:34:52.780 --> 00:34:53.700
 that gossiping

00:34:53.700 --> 00:34:54.600
 and slanderous

00:34:54.600 --> 00:34:55.800
 is damnable

00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:56.340
 to hell

00:34:56.340 --> 00:34:59.200
 because of

00:34:59.200 --> 00:34:59.820
 who Jesus

00:34:59.820 --> 00:35:00.380
 is.

00:35:02.780 --> 00:35:03.579
 And what

00:35:03.579 --> 00:35:04.360
 specifically

00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:08.340
 are we

00:35:08.340 --> 00:35:08.680
 meant to

00:35:08.680 --> 00:35:09.100
 see?

00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:11.900
 We're

00:35:11.900 --> 00:35:12.140
 meant to

00:35:12.140 --> 00:35:12.880
 see Jesus

00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:13.900
 moving in

00:35:13.900 --> 00:35:14.519
 the opposite

00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:15.320
 direction that

00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:15.820
 we've been

00:35:15.820 --> 00:35:16.240
 moving.

00:35:17.700 --> 00:35:18.220
 We've

00:35:18.220 --> 00:35:18.960
 taken off

00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:19.500
 the old

00:35:19.500 --> 00:35:19.980
 and put on

00:35:19.980 --> 00:35:20.400
 the new.

00:35:20.539 --> 00:35:20.960
 He was

00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:21.840
 already new

00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:22.380
 and he put

00:35:22.380 --> 00:35:22.820
 on our

00:35:22.820 --> 00:35:23.300
 old.

00:35:23.300 --> 00:35:24.420
 We need

00:35:24.420 --> 00:35:24.780
 to see

00:35:24.780 --> 00:35:25.140
 that

00:35:25.140 --> 00:35:25.620
 happening.

00:35:28.780 --> 00:35:29.539
 We can

00:35:29.539 --> 00:35:30.340
 only take

00:35:30.340 --> 00:35:30.680
 off the

00:35:30.680 --> 00:35:30.900
 old

00:35:30.900 --> 00:35:31.240
 corrupt

00:35:31.240 --> 00:35:31.539
 self

00:35:31.539 --> 00:35:31.740
 of

00:35:31.740 --> 00:35:32.100
 darkness

00:35:32.100 --> 00:35:32.380
 and

00:35:32.380 --> 00:35:32.600
 death

00:35:32.600 --> 00:35:32.740
 and

00:35:32.740 --> 00:35:33.080
 decay

00:35:33.080 --> 00:35:33.280
 and

00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:33.660
 eternal

00:35:33.660 --> 00:35:34.260
 destruction

00:35:34.260 --> 00:35:35.039
 and put

00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:35.340
 on the

00:35:35.340 --> 00:35:35.620
 new

00:35:35.620 --> 00:35:36.320
 self

00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:36.500
 of

00:35:36.500 --> 00:35:36.800
 life

00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:36.980
 and

00:35:36.980 --> 00:35:37.280
 life

00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:37.400
 and

00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:37.800
 renewal

00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:38.060
 and

00:35:38.060 --> 00:35:38.360
 glory

00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:38.720
 because

00:35:38.720 --> 00:35:39.340
 Jesus

00:35:39.340 --> 00:35:39.700
 went

00:35:39.700 --> 00:35:39.920
 the

00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:40.519
 opposite

00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:40.860
 for

00:35:40.860 --> 00:35:41.300
 us.

00:35:43.019 --> 00:35:43.360
 Ephesians

00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:43.980
 2 says

00:35:43.980 --> 00:35:44.300
 he was

00:35:44.300 --> 00:35:44.600
 equal

00:35:44.600 --> 00:35:45.240
 with God

00:35:45.240 --> 00:35:45.940
 with all

00:35:45.940 --> 00:35:47.260
 his

00:35:47.260 --> 00:35:48.300
 perfect

00:35:48.300 --> 00:35:48.980
 love

00:35:48.980 --> 00:35:49.200
 and

00:35:49.200 --> 00:35:49.680
 splendor

00:35:49.680 --> 00:35:49.840
 and

00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:50.200
 majesty

00:35:50.200 --> 00:35:50.519

00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:50.880
 glory

00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:51.280
 but he

00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:51.580
 laid

00:35:51.580 --> 00:35:51.740
 it

00:35:51.740 --> 00:35:52.260
 aside

00:35:52.260 --> 00:35:53.680
 and

00:35:53.680 --> 00:35:53.820
 he

00:35:53.820 --> 00:35:54.360
 entered

00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:54.600
 took

00:35:54.600 --> 00:35:54.780
 on

00:35:54.780 --> 00:35:55.220
 human

00:35:55.220 --> 00:35:55.780
 flesh

00:35:55.780 --> 00:35:56.940
 he

00:35:56.940 --> 00:35:57.240
 entered

00:35:57.240 --> 00:35:57.920
 all

00:35:57.920 --> 00:35:58.740
 the

00:35:58.740 --> 00:35:59.380
 suffering

00:35:59.380 --> 00:35:59.640
 the

00:35:59.640 --> 00:36:00.180
 darkness

00:36:00.180 --> 00:36:00.440
 the

00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:00.760
 evil

00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:00.960
 the

00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:01.260
 sin

00:36:01.260 --> 00:36:01.440
 the

00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:01.900
 corruption

00:36:01.900 --> 00:36:02.100
 of

00:36:02.100 --> 00:36:02.300
 this

00:36:02.300 --> 00:36:02.620
 world

00:36:02.620 --> 00:36:02.820
 he

00:36:02.820 --> 00:36:03.560
 identified

00:36:03.560 --> 00:36:04.420
 with us

00:36:04.420 --> 00:36:04.780
 and he

00:36:04.780 --> 00:36:05.360
 traded

00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:06.100
 places

00:36:06.100 --> 00:36:07.080
 with us

00:36:07.080 --> 00:36:07.380
 when he

00:36:07.380 --> 00:36:07.800
 went to

00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:08.420
 the cross

00:36:08.420 --> 00:36:08.940
 he

00:36:08.940 --> 00:36:09.820
 bore

00:36:09.820 --> 00:36:09.840
!

00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:13.040
 Human

00:36:13.040 --> 00:36:14.240
 history's

00:36:14.240 --> 00:36:15.060
 entire

00:36:15.060 --> 00:36:15.900
 old

00:36:15.900 --> 00:36:16.560
 self

00:36:16.560 --> 00:36:18.420
 on

00:36:18.420 --> 00:36:19.140
 himself

00:36:19.140 --> 00:36:20.660
 and

00:36:20.660 --> 00:36:20.960
 where it

00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:21.360
 says in

00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:21.940
 chapter 5

00:36:21.940 --> 00:36:22.380
 God's

00:36:22.380 --> 00:36:22.900
 wrath

00:36:22.900 --> 00:36:23.539
 gets poured

00:36:23.539 --> 00:36:23.860
 out

00:36:23.860 --> 00:36:24.099
 on

00:36:24.099 --> 00:36:24.420
 such

00:36:24.420 --> 00:36:24.800
 sin

00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:25.200
 he

00:36:25.200 --> 00:36:25.700
 allowed

00:36:25.700 --> 00:36:26.099
 God's

00:36:26.099 --> 00:36:26.320
 wrath

00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:26.599
 to be

00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:27.159
 poured

00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:27.539
 out

00:36:27.539 --> 00:36:27.780
 on

00:36:27.780 --> 00:36:28.320
 him

00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:29.800
 instead

00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:33.639
 he

00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:33.900
 took

00:36:33.900 --> 00:36:34.079
 on

00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:34.260
 our

00:36:34.619 --> 00:36:34.880
 self

00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:35.059
 so

00:36:35.059 --> 00:36:35.280
 we

00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:35.400
 could

00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:35.579
 have

00:36:35.579 --> 00:36:35.720
 his

 perfect

00:36:36.059 --> 00:36:36.360
 self

00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:36.500
 he

00:36:36.500 --> 00:36:36.700
 took

00:36:36.700 --> 00:36:36.880
 on

00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:37.019
 the

00:36:37.019 --> 00:36:37.380
 corruption

00:36:37.380 --> 00:36:37.659
 so

00:36:37.659 --> 00:36:37.800
 that

00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:37.960
 we

00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:38.119
 could

00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:38.300
 have

00:36:38.300 --> 00:36:38.460
 his

00:36:38.460 --> 00:36:38.820
 holiness

00:36:38.820 --> 00:36:39.559
 he

00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:39.780
 was

00:36:39.780 --> 00:36:40.059
 hated

00:36:40.059 --> 00:36:40.300
 so

00:36:40.300 --> 00:36:40.460
 that

00:36:40.460 --> 00:36:40.619
 we

00:36:40.619 --> 00:36:40.760
 could

00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:40.940
 be

 loved

00:36:41.220 --> 00:36:41.400
 he

00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:41.599
 was

00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:41.820
 put

00:36:41.820 --> 00:36:42.019
 to

00:36:42.019 --> 00:36:42.240
 death

00:36:42.240 --> 00:36:42.440
 so

00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:42.579
 that

00:36:42.579 --> 00:36:42.780
 we

00:36:42.780 --> 00:36:42.980
 could

00:36:42.980 --> 00:36:43.179
 have

00:36:43.179 --> 00:36:43.639
 life

00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:45.019
 and

00:36:45.019 --> 00:36:45.340
 when

00:36:45.340 --> 00:36:45.599
 we

00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:45.760
 are

00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:46.599
 captivated

00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:46.900
 by

00:36:46.900 --> 00:36:47.599
 Jesus

00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:48.840
 doing

 the

 really

00:37:23.180 --> 00:37:23.640
