00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:01.840
 Verses 1-10

00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:11.560
 Paul, an apostle, sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father,

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:15.019
 who raised him from the dead, and all the brothers with me.

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:20.379
 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

00:00:20.980 --> 00:00:25.580
 who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age,

00:00:26.019 --> 00:00:28.140
 according to the will of our God and Father,

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:31.660
 to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

00:00:32.620 --> 00:00:37.659
 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ

00:00:37.659 --> 00:00:42.100
 and are turning to a different gospel, which is really no gospel at all.

00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:48.700
 Evidently, some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.

00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:55.820
 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach a gospel other than the one we preach to you,

00:00:55.820 --> 00:00:58.759
 let him be eternally condemned.

00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:02.840
 As we have already said, so now I say again,

00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:07.640
 if anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you are accepted,

00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.480
 let him be eternally condemned.

00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.420
 Am I not now trying to win the approval of men or of God?

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:17.799
 Or am I trying to please men?

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:24.219
 If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

00:01:33.479 --> 00:01:35.259
 Well, let's pray together.

00:01:35.260 --> 00:01:45.300
 Father, thank you for your word, the Bible.

00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:52.600
 Thank you that it is written in our language, that we have access to it.

00:01:53.880 --> 00:01:57.420
 Thank you that it speaks to us of your truth.

00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:00.140
 Truth we can trust.

00:02:01.660 --> 00:02:03.660
 Truth we can build our life upon.

00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:09.219
 Truth that brings life and life eternal.

00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:16.960
 And we ask, Holy Spirit of God, that you would give us understanding, not just with our minds,

00:02:17.900 --> 00:02:21.919
 but this truth about Jesus Christ alone,

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:24.340
 would shape our hearts,

00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.599
 change us in a way that helps us see

00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.479
 that Jesus Christ is enough

00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.439
 for all life.

00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.579
 We pray this in Jesus' name.

00:02:41.139 --> 00:02:41.539
 Amen.

00:02:41.539 --> 00:02:50.719
 Well, I have a little equation for you as we start.

00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:55.659
 That's not minus Christ, by the way.

00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.979
 That's a little bullet point, so forget about the minus.

00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:03.579
 But Christ plus what

00:03:03.579 --> 00:03:06.319
 equals salvation?

00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.739
 Christ plus what

00:03:09.739 --> 00:03:12.400
 equals salvation.

00:03:15.299 --> 00:03:17.479
 Or, think of it in this way.

00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.439
 If you died tonight

00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.199
 and you found yourself standing before God,

00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:25.060
 and God asked you,

00:03:25.259 --> 00:03:27.799
 why should I let you into my heaven,

00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.320
 what would you say to God?

00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:32.719
 What's going to be your answer?

00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:38.520
 Well, if your answer starts with something like this,

00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:40.500
 because I,

00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.160
 because I have been a good person,

00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:47.520
 because I contribute to society,

00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:52.380
 then you are not guaranteed salvation.

00:03:53.380 --> 00:03:56.140
 But if your answer goes something like this,

00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.000
 because Christ,

00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:01.560
 because Christ died for me,

00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:05.840
 because Christ took the blame for my sin,

00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.160
 then you are guaranteed salvation.

00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.319
 You see,

00:04:12.979 --> 00:04:15.060
 the answer to this equation is,

00:04:15.579 --> 00:04:18.620
 Christ plus nothing

00:04:18.620 --> 00:04:21.899
 equals salvation.

00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:23.399
 In other words,

00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:25.800
 we're saying that Christ is enough.

00:04:26.259 --> 00:04:27.540
 Christ is sufficient.

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.360
 That's what we've been singing and thinking about this morning.

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.240
 Our salvation is not what I do,

00:04:33.699 --> 00:04:35.100
 it's not my performance,

00:04:35.379 --> 00:04:36.220
 or my work,

00:04:36.220 --> 00:04:40.400
 but what Christ has done for us.

00:04:40.940 --> 00:04:42.180
 So have a look at the reading

00:04:42.180 --> 00:04:44.100
 in Galatians chapter 1,

00:04:44.340 --> 00:04:45.240
 verse 3.

00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:49.580
 Galatians 1, verse 3.

00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:52.820
 Grace and peace to you

00:04:52.820 --> 00:04:54.780
 from God our Father

00:04:54.780 --> 00:04:56.240
 and the Lord Jesus Christ,

00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.040
 who gave himself for our sins

00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.860
 to rescue us from this present evil age

00:05:03.860 --> 00:05:07.360
 according to the will of our God and Father,

00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.699
 to whom be glory forever and ever.

00:05:11.340 --> 00:05:11.780
 Amen.

00:05:13.139 --> 00:05:15.280
 So in a very succinct way,

00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.879
 it's saying that Christ is sufficient.

00:05:19.060 --> 00:05:22.220
 What Christ has done is enough.

00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.120
 We've been thinking about the Reformation

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:28.980
 and one of the Reformers,

00:05:29.580 --> 00:05:31.520
 Ulrich Zwingli, put it like this.

00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.399
 Through Christ alone,

00:05:35.099 --> 00:05:36.759
 we are given salvation,

00:05:37.740 --> 00:05:38.639
 blessedness,

00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:39.759
 grace,

00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:41.079
 pardon,

00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.579
 and all that makes us in any way

00:05:44.579 --> 00:05:46.719
 worthy or right

00:05:46.719 --> 00:05:49.919
 in the sight of a righteous God.

00:05:51.859 --> 00:05:55.139
 You see, if we're to try and earn our salvation,

00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.039
 it will only break us

00:05:58.039 --> 00:05:59.599
 and destroy us.

00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.040
 If we're living a life whereby we think

00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:03.480
 when we stand before God,

00:06:03.700 --> 00:06:05.200
 we answer something like this,

00:06:05.260 --> 00:06:06.340
 because I,

00:06:07.060 --> 00:06:08.500
 and it's all about what I do,

00:06:09.340 --> 00:06:10.560
 it will destroy you.

00:06:11.960 --> 00:06:12.840
 Martin Luther,

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:14.480
 who we met last week,

00:06:15.100 --> 00:06:18.439
 one of the men responsible for the Reformation,

00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.800
 he started his young life out as a law student.

00:06:23.020 --> 00:06:24.840
 And in the grounds of the university

00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:25.899
 where he studied,

00:06:26.459 --> 00:06:27.459
 was a statue,

00:06:27.599 --> 00:06:29.479
 a great big statue of Jesus.

00:06:29.919 --> 00:06:30.819
 And in one hand,

00:06:30.939 --> 00:06:34.159
 Jesus is holding the weighing scales of justice.

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.079
 And in the grip of his teeth

00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.099
 is the blade of a sword.

00:06:40.939 --> 00:06:43.659
 And this statue terrified Luther

00:06:43.659 --> 00:06:46.139
 as he walked through the university grounds.

00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.979
 He always felt like Christ was eyeballing him.

00:06:49.980 --> 00:06:53.200
 And it continually made him feel guilty

00:06:53.200 --> 00:06:55.540
 and under God's judgment.

00:06:57.780 --> 00:07:00.000
 Well, in fear of God's judgment,

00:07:00.460 --> 00:07:02.319
 Luther gave up studying law,

00:07:02.740 --> 00:07:03.680
 chucked it all in,

00:07:03.939 --> 00:07:05.080
 and he became a monk.

00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:07.600
 He hoped in some way

00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.740
 that this might please God

00:07:09.740 --> 00:07:12.360
 or he could somehow earn his acceptance

00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:14.000
 before God.

00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.759
 Reflecting back on his life many years later,

00:07:18.180 --> 00:07:19.180
 Luther wrote this.

00:07:19.980 --> 00:07:21.120
 He says,

00:07:21.200 --> 00:07:24.439
 I myself was a monk for 20 years.

00:07:25.300 --> 00:07:27.400
 I tortured myself with praying,

00:07:28.060 --> 00:07:28.480
 fasting,

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:30.060
 keeping vigils,

00:07:30.280 --> 00:07:30.879
 and freezing.

00:07:31.060 --> 00:07:32.620
 The cold was enough to kill me.

00:07:32.860 --> 00:07:35.160
 So he would literally go out into the snow,

00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.240
 kneel down and pray in the freezing cold.

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.759
 I inflicted upon myself such pain

00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.560
 as I would never inflict again,

00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:46.500
 even if I could.

00:07:47.400 --> 00:07:48.200
 He continued,

00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:50.079
 if any monk

00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.599
 ever got to heaven by monkery,

00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:54.180
 great little word that,

00:07:54.259 --> 00:07:54.659
 isn't it?

00:07:55.339 --> 00:07:57.399
 Then I should have made it.

00:07:57.459 --> 00:07:59.120
 If it lasted much longer,

00:07:59.339 --> 00:08:01.139
 I would have killed myself

00:08:01.139 --> 00:08:02.060
 with vigils,

00:08:02.500 --> 00:08:02.980
 praying,

00:08:03.500 --> 00:08:03.920
 reading,

00:08:04.379 --> 00:08:05.899
 and the other labours.

00:08:07.259 --> 00:08:07.740
 You see,

00:08:07.819 --> 00:08:08.620
 this young man,

00:08:08.740 --> 00:08:09.279
 Martin Luther,

00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:10.599
 tried to work

00:08:10.599 --> 00:08:12.620
 for his salvation

00:08:12.620 --> 00:08:14.459
 through praying,

00:08:14.459 --> 00:08:15.459
 through reading,

00:08:15.899 --> 00:08:17.920
 through all these different disciplines.

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:19.259
 You see,

00:08:19.340 --> 00:08:21.139
 the church had been teaching him that,

00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:21.759
 yes,

00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:23.939
 Christ had died for our sins,

00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:26.660
 but it did not guarantee

00:08:26.660 --> 00:08:28.860
 your eternal salvation.

00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:30.139
 In fact,

00:08:30.220 --> 00:08:31.100
 the church taught

00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:32.179
 that you were somehow

00:08:32.179 --> 00:08:34.240
 suspended on the one hand

00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.860
 between the grace of God

00:08:35.860 --> 00:08:37.560
 and the judgment of God.

00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.679
 You swung between the two

00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.319
 depending on how good you were.

00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:43.139
 And the only way

00:08:43.139 --> 00:08:44.639
 to avoid God's judgment

00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:45.179
 at the end

00:08:45.179 --> 00:08:47.339
 was to work off your sins

00:08:47.339 --> 00:08:49.139
 through acts of confession

00:08:49.139 --> 00:08:50.779
 or receiving grace

00:08:50.779 --> 00:08:51.799
 through the sacraments

00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:53.119
 so that the more time

00:08:53.119 --> 00:08:54.179
 that you had communion

00:08:54.179 --> 00:08:54.899
 or mass,

00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:55.679
 well then,

00:08:55.859 --> 00:08:56.759
 the more likely

00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:58.500
 you were to be in favour

00:08:58.500 --> 00:08:59.179
 with God.

00:09:00.219 --> 00:09:02.000
 And Luther was so troubled

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:02.859
 with his sins

00:09:02.859 --> 00:09:04.619
 that he spent hours

00:09:04.619 --> 00:09:05.659
 every day

00:09:05.659 --> 00:09:06.459
 in confession.

00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:08.079
 He feared

00:09:08.079 --> 00:09:09.500
 that he was overlooking

00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:10.259
 some sin

00:09:10.259 --> 00:09:11.559
 that he wasn't aware of.

00:09:12.579 --> 00:09:13.419
 At one point,

00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:14.579
 his superior,

00:09:14.839 --> 00:09:15.600
 who he used to go

00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:16.459
 confess to,

00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:17.519
 said this,

00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:19.059
 he was quite cross with him,

00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:19.959
 look here,

00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:20.819
 brother Martin,

00:09:21.379 --> 00:09:22.339
 if you are going

00:09:22.339 --> 00:09:23.620
 to confess so much,

00:09:24.139 --> 00:09:25.159
 why don't you do

00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:26.679
 something worth confessing?

00:09:27.339 --> 00:09:28.299
 Kill your mother

00:09:28.299 --> 00:09:29.079
 or father,

00:09:29.539 --> 00:09:30.480
 commit adultery,

00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:32.000
 stop coming in here

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:33.019
 with such flumenry

00:09:33.019 --> 00:09:34.120
 or nonsense

00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:35.600
 and fake sins.

00:09:35.659 --> 00:09:38.779
 this man was plagued

00:09:38.779 --> 00:09:40.120
 so much with his guilt

00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:41.959
 that he was desperate

00:09:41.959 --> 00:09:43.259
 to try and find peace

00:09:43.259 --> 00:09:43.879
 with God.

00:09:44.699 --> 00:09:45.719
 But it wasn't until

00:09:45.719 --> 00:09:46.959
 he began to read

00:09:46.959 --> 00:09:47.620
 the scriptures

00:09:47.620 --> 00:09:49.000
 and study the Bible

00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:49.719
 for himself

00:09:49.719 --> 00:09:51.079
 that he came to see

00:09:51.079 --> 00:09:52.039
 that salvation

00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:53.459
 was guaranteed

00:09:53.459 --> 00:09:55.019
 not by his works,

00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:57.759
 but Christ's sufficient

00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:59.019
 work on the cross.

00:10:00.019 --> 00:10:01.059
 What he discovered

00:10:01.059 --> 00:10:02.339
 was not new,

00:10:02.340 --> 00:10:05.660
 it was a rediscovered truth

00:10:05.660 --> 00:10:07.019
 from the Bible.

00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:08.540
 By opening up the Bible

00:10:08.540 --> 00:10:09.139
 for himself

00:10:09.139 --> 00:10:10.399
 and reading what God

00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:10.980
 had said,

00:10:11.660 --> 00:10:12.759
 he came to see

00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.379
 it was all about

00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:15.120
 Jesus.

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.060
 It's summarized like this,

00:10:18.139 --> 00:10:19.920
 it's in the news sheet,

00:10:20.040 --> 00:10:21.060
 you can read it there.

00:10:21.059 --> 00:10:22.279
 salvation

00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.219
 is according to

00:10:24.219 --> 00:10:25.519
 scripture alone,

00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.139
 maybe I have it here,

00:10:27.199 --> 00:10:27.599
 it is there,

00:10:27.699 --> 00:10:29.079
 salvation is according

00:10:29.079 --> 00:10:30.500
 to scripture alone

00:10:30.500 --> 00:10:32.479
 in Christ alone,

00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:33.439
 that's the part

00:10:33.439 --> 00:10:34.719
 we're going to look at today,

00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:36.679
 by grace alone,

00:10:37.239 --> 00:10:38.699
 through faith alone,

00:10:39.259 --> 00:10:41.099
 for the glory of God alone.

00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:44.259
 Of course,

00:10:44.379 --> 00:10:45.460
 this whole idea

00:10:45.460 --> 00:10:47.379
 of Christ plus works

00:10:47.379 --> 00:10:49.100
 or trying to earn

00:10:49.100 --> 00:10:50.720
 or work for your salvation

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.399
 was nothing new.

00:10:53.060 --> 00:10:54.080
 The apostle Paul

00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:55.360
 had to confront it

00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.060
 in the church at Galatia,

00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:58.300
 which is why we read

00:10:58.300 --> 00:10:59.220
 from the beginning

00:10:59.220 --> 00:10:59.920
 of Galatians.

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:00.899
 So let's turn there

00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:02.620
 to verse 6,

00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:03.360
 chapter 1,

00:11:03.460 --> 00:11:04.080
 verse 6.

00:11:05.100 --> 00:11:06.240
 Paul had come

00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:06.980
 to this church

00:11:06.980 --> 00:11:08.000
 in Galatia,

00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:09.200
 modern day Turkey,

00:11:09.660 --> 00:11:10.899
 and had been preaching

00:11:10.899 --> 00:11:11.819
 telling people

00:11:11.819 --> 00:11:12.579
 the good news

00:11:12.579 --> 00:11:13.360
 about Christ,

00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:15.220
 and it was just Christ

00:11:15.220 --> 00:11:16.659
 and nothing but Christ.

00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:19.840
 But something had happened.

00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:21.799
 Chapter 1,

00:11:21.899 --> 00:11:22.519
 verse 6.

00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:24.620
 He's writing to the church,

00:11:24.699 --> 00:11:25.879
 I am astonished

00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.220
 that you are so quickly

00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:29.439
 deserting the one

00:11:29.439 --> 00:11:30.340
 who called you

00:11:30.340 --> 00:11:31.899
 by the grace of Christ

00:11:31.899 --> 00:11:33.159
 and are turning

00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:34.639
 to a different gospel,

00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:36.379
 which is really

00:11:36.379 --> 00:11:37.879
 no gospel at all.

00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:39.679
 Evidently,

00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:40.379
 some people

00:11:40.379 --> 00:11:41.320
 are throwing you

00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:42.220
 into confusion

00:11:42.220 --> 00:11:43.620
 and are trying

00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:44.259
 to pervert

00:11:44.259 --> 00:11:45.059
 or twist

00:11:45.059 --> 00:11:46.860
 the gospel of Christ.

00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:48.960
 So there were people

00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:49.620
 who had heard

00:11:49.620 --> 00:11:50.259
 the good news

00:11:50.259 --> 00:11:51.000
 about Jesus,

00:11:51.220 --> 00:11:52.259
 but now they were

00:11:52.259 --> 00:11:53.100
 beginning to teach

00:11:53.100 --> 00:11:54.080
 the rest of the church.

00:11:54.179 --> 00:11:55.259
 So like a similar

00:11:55.259 --> 00:11:56.419
 situation to this,

00:11:56.659 --> 00:11:57.200
 the leader,

00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:57.860
 the pastor,

00:11:57.939 --> 00:11:58.679
 would stand up

00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:00.000
 and give a talk

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:00.580
 and they were saying,

00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:01.539
 listen guys,

00:12:01.620 --> 00:12:02.399
 you've started

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:03.259
 with Christ,

00:12:04.259 --> 00:12:05.679
 but Christ is not enough.

00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:06.980
 You need something more.

00:12:06.980 --> 00:12:08.460
 Christ will get you

00:12:08.460 --> 00:12:09.320
 so far,

00:12:09.580 --> 00:12:10.720
 but you need more

00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:11.039
 than that.

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:12.500
 What you need to do is

00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:14.080
 you need to be

00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:15.000
 a good person.

00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:16.920
 You need to obey

00:12:16.920 --> 00:12:18.019
 everything that God

00:12:18.019 --> 00:12:19.480
 said in his laws.

00:12:20.560 --> 00:12:21.980
 So it was Christ

00:12:21.980 --> 00:12:23.800
 plus works

00:12:23.800 --> 00:12:26.460
 equals salvation.

00:12:27.740 --> 00:12:28.920
 Now this was far

00:12:28.920 --> 00:12:29.620
 too serious

00:12:29.620 --> 00:12:30.399
 to ignore.

00:12:30.779 --> 00:12:31.940
 So Paul writes

00:12:31.940 --> 00:12:32.800
 this whole letter

00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:33.559
 of Galatians

00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:35.120
 to address

00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:35.919
 the issue.

00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:37.799
 We pick it up again

00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:38.740
 in chapter 2

00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:40.039
 verse 6.

00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:42.279
 He wants to bring

00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:42.819
 them back

00:12:42.819 --> 00:12:43.579
 to the heart

00:12:43.579 --> 00:12:44.839
 of the truth.

00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:46.539
 So chapter 2,

00:12:46.579 --> 00:12:46.799
 sorry,

00:12:46.939 --> 00:12:47.459
 chapter 2

00:12:47.459 --> 00:12:48.399
 verse 16.

00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:50.500
 Chapter 2

00:12:50.500 --> 00:12:51.339
 verse 16.

00:12:54.299 --> 00:12:55.039
 He says,

00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:55.479
 we know

00:12:55.479 --> 00:12:56.120
 that a man

00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:56.799
 or a person

00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:58.620
 is not justified.

00:12:59.219 --> 00:13:00.099
 That simply means

00:13:00.099 --> 00:13:01.479
 not declared

00:13:01.479 --> 00:13:02.139
 right

00:13:02.139 --> 00:13:03.179
 before God

00:13:03.179 --> 00:13:04.319
 by observing

00:13:04.319 --> 00:13:04.699
 the law,

00:13:04.779 --> 00:13:05.259
 by doing

00:13:05.259 --> 00:13:06.360
 good things,

00:13:06.819 --> 00:13:08.819
 but by faith

00:13:08.819 --> 00:13:10.460
 in Jesus Christ.

00:13:11.299 --> 00:13:12.279
 So we too

00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:12.860
 have put our

00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:13.819
 faith in

00:13:13.819 --> 00:13:15.399
 Christ Jesus,

00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:17.100
 that we may be

00:13:17.100 --> 00:13:18.480
 declared right

00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:19.539
 before God

00:13:19.539 --> 00:13:20.779
 by faith

00:13:20.779 --> 00:13:21.799
 in Christ

00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:23.720
 and not by

00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:24.639
 observing the law,

00:13:24.740 --> 00:13:25.439
 not by doing

00:13:25.439 --> 00:13:26.419
 good things.

00:13:26.819 --> 00:13:27.779
 Because by

00:13:27.779 --> 00:13:28.899
 observing the law,

00:13:29.179 --> 00:13:29.960
 no one

00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:32.800
 will be made

00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:33.220
 right

00:13:33.220 --> 00:13:34.320
 before God.

00:13:35.040 --> 00:13:35.560
 So,

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:36.800
 verse 21,

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:39.780
 I do not

00:13:39.780 --> 00:13:40.420
 set aside

00:13:40.420 --> 00:13:41.120
 the grace

00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:41.759
 of God

00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:43.379
 for if

00:13:43.379 --> 00:13:44.220
 righteousness,

00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:45.519
 if right standing

00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:46.420
 before God

00:13:46.420 --> 00:13:47.280
 could be gained

00:13:47.280 --> 00:13:48.580
 through the law,

00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:50.240
 Christ died

00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:50.980
 for nothing.

00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:53.120
 If you

00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:53.720
 can go it

00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:54.120
 alone,

00:13:55.180 --> 00:13:56.080
 then the death

00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:56.740
 of Christ

00:13:56.740 --> 00:13:57.680
 is a complete

00:13:57.680 --> 00:13:58.519
 waste of time.

00:13:58.519 --> 00:13:59.600
 if you think

00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:00.360
 that you can

00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:01.059
 stand before

00:14:01.059 --> 00:14:01.819
 God and say,

00:14:02.139 --> 00:14:03.120
 because I

00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:03.679
 did

00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:05.779
 X,

00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:06.000
 Y,

00:14:06.059 --> 00:14:06.259
 and Z,

00:14:07.019 --> 00:14:07.740
 then

00:14:07.740 --> 00:14:09.340
 I will be

00:14:09.340 --> 00:14:10.019
 acceptable to

00:14:10.019 --> 00:14:10.139
 God.

00:14:10.179 --> 00:14:10.620
 If that's

00:14:10.620 --> 00:14:11.139
 true,

00:14:12.299 --> 00:14:13.100
 then Jesus

00:14:13.100 --> 00:14:14.179
 Christ died

00:14:14.179 --> 00:14:14.679
 for nothing.

00:14:14.779 --> 00:14:15.199
 He might

00:14:15.199 --> 00:14:16.159
 well not have

00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:16.639
 been born.

00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:17.480
 It's a complete

00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:18.360
 waste of time.

00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.940
 the point

00:14:21.940 --> 00:14:22.419
 is,

00:14:22.680 --> 00:14:23.360
 we cannot

00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:24.120
 earn

00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:25.100
 our acceptance.

00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:26.899
 Move on a little

00:14:26.899 --> 00:14:28.180
 bit to chapter 5,

00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:29.480
 verse 3.

00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:35.639
 Chapter 5,

00:14:35.820 --> 00:14:36.720
 verse 3.

00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:43.540
 Again,

00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:44.639
 I declare to

00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:45.899
 every person

00:14:45.899 --> 00:14:47.060
 who lets

00:14:47.060 --> 00:14:47.899
 himself be

00:14:47.899 --> 00:14:48.680
 circumcised,

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:49.180
 so this was

00:14:49.180 --> 00:14:49.700
 one of the

00:14:49.700 --> 00:14:50.500
 laws of the

00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:51.500
 Old Testament,

00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:52.340
 one of the

00:14:52.340 --> 00:14:53.019
 clean laws,

00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:53.440
 that if you

00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:54.440
 were circumcised,

00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:55.300
 well then it

00:14:55.300 --> 00:14:55.820
 would give you

00:14:55.820 --> 00:14:57.019
 a right standing

00:14:57.019 --> 00:14:57.899
 before God

00:14:57.899 --> 00:14:59.060
 and acceptance

00:14:59.060 --> 00:14:59.879
 before God.

00:14:59.980 --> 00:15:00.720
 This is what

00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:01.340
 they came to

00:15:01.340 --> 00:15:01.700
 think.

00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:03.080
 He says,

00:15:03.180 --> 00:15:04.080
 if you let

00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:04.660
 yourself be

00:15:04.660 --> 00:15:05.259
 circumcised,

00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:05.860
 you're required

00:15:05.860 --> 00:15:06.940
 to obey all

00:15:06.940 --> 00:15:07.279
 the laws.

00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:07.700
 So if you

00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:08.360
 start out

00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:08.919
 life saying

00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:09.700
 it's about

00:15:09.700 --> 00:15:10.180
 being good,

00:15:10.259 --> 00:15:10.500
 then you

00:15:10.500 --> 00:15:10.879
 must be

00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:12.180
 perfectly good.

00:15:13.659 --> 00:15:14.519
 Verse 4.

00:15:14.940 --> 00:15:15.519
 You who are

00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:16.159
 trying to be

00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:17.220
 justified by

00:15:17.220 --> 00:15:18.779
 law have

00:15:18.779 --> 00:15:20.100
 been alienated

00:15:20.100 --> 00:15:20.860
 from Christ.

00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:21.860
 You have

00:15:21.860 --> 00:15:22.840
 fallen away

00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:24.039
 from Christ.

00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:25.940
 So to try

00:15:25.940 --> 00:15:26.519
 and earn

00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:26.960
 your way

00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:27.879
 before God

00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:29.180
 is to turn

00:15:29.180 --> 00:15:29.820
 away from

00:15:29.820 --> 00:15:30.420
 the very

00:15:30.420 --> 00:15:31.060
 person,

00:15:31.060 --> 00:15:32.279
 the only

00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:32.759
 one,

00:15:33.460 --> 00:15:33.920
 who can

00:15:33.920 --> 00:15:34.500
 give you

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:35.480
 salvation.

00:15:35.860 --> 00:15:38.180
 Now you

00:15:38.180 --> 00:15:38.600
 might be

00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:39.259
 reading through

00:15:39.259 --> 00:15:39.600
 this and

00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:39.840
 you go,

00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:40.039
 no,

00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:41.000
 I don't

00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:41.919
 believe that,

00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:43.779
 or I do

00:15:43.779 --> 00:15:44.300
 believe it,

00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:45.600
 I know it's

00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:46.060
 all about

00:15:46.060 --> 00:15:46.560
 Christ.

00:15:48.139 --> 00:15:49.200
 But yet we

00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:50.120
 believe and

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:50.680
 we practice

00:15:50.680 --> 00:15:51.639
 certain things.

00:15:51.860 --> 00:15:52.860
 So sometimes

00:15:52.860 --> 00:15:53.340
 we say,

00:15:53.419 --> 00:15:53.580
 yes,

00:15:53.620 --> 00:15:54.340
 it's Christ

00:15:54.340 --> 00:15:55.419
 plus

00:15:55.419 --> 00:15:57.300
 reading my

00:15:57.300 --> 00:15:57.659
 Bible.

00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:00.139
 Or Christ

00:16:00.139 --> 00:16:01.759
 plus so long

00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:02.440
 as I don't

00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:03.180
 get drunk

00:16:03.180 --> 00:16:04.039
 or don't

00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:04.879
 watch porn.

00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.019
 or it's

00:16:07.019 --> 00:16:07.919
 Christ plus

00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:08.960
 serving in

00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:09.580
 the church

00:16:09.580 --> 00:16:11.899
 or Christ

00:16:11.899 --> 00:16:13.279
 plus getting

00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:14.259
 baptized and

00:16:14.259 --> 00:16:14.860
 becoming a

00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:15.139
 member.

00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:16.039
 If I do

00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:17.039
 all of these

00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:17.700
 things,

00:16:18.779 --> 00:16:19.559
 then my

00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:20.360
 salvation will

00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:20.939
 be guaranteed

00:16:20.939 --> 00:16:22.240
 and then God

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:22.860
 will be pleased

00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:23.100
 with me.

00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:23.659
 He'll look at

00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:24.259
 my life and

00:16:24.259 --> 00:16:25.539
 see that I'm

00:16:25.539 --> 00:16:26.460
 a good person.

00:16:27.379 --> 00:16:28.120
 But these

00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:28.679
 things, no

00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:29.419
 matter how good

00:16:29.419 --> 00:16:29.779
 they are,

00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:30.519
 and they're all

00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:31.159
 good and all

00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:32.840
 evidences of

00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:33.399
 someone who

00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:34.379
 follows Christ,

00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:36.159
 in and of

00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:36.659
 themselves,

00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:37.159
 they will

00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:38.199
 never ever

00:16:38.199 --> 00:16:39.419
 save you.

00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:41.519
 Which is why

00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:42.679
 chapter 6

00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:43.480
 verse 14,

00:16:44.059 --> 00:16:44.639
 almost the

00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:45.100
 whole letter

00:16:45.100 --> 00:16:45.939
 is concluded

00:16:45.939 --> 00:16:46.759
 here in

00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:47.600
 verse 14

00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:48.679
 of chapter 6.

00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:50.679
 verse 14.

00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:52.659
 He says,

00:16:52.719 --> 00:16:53.039
 May I

00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:54.539
 never boast

00:16:54.539 --> 00:16:56.399
 except in

00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:57.039
 the cross

00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:57.419
 of our

00:16:57.419 --> 00:16:58.919
 Lord Jesus

00:16:58.919 --> 00:16:59.879
 Christ.

00:17:01.179 --> 00:17:01.899
 So go

00:17:01.899 --> 00:17:02.339
 back to

00:17:02.339 --> 00:17:02.620
 that

00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:03.919
 illustration

00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:04.339
 at the

00:17:04.339 --> 00:17:04.619
 beginning.

00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:05.039
 If you're

00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:06.019
 standing there

00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:06.740
 before God,

00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:07.500
 what am I

00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:07.960
 going to

00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:08.279
 say?

00:17:10.019 --> 00:17:10.700
 What is

00:17:10.700 --> 00:17:11.419
 our boasting?

00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:12.599
 Is it

00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:13.220
 something I

00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:13.700
 have done,

00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.519
 something I

00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:14.819
 do?

00:17:14.819 --> 00:17:16.500
 or am I

00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:16.740
 going to

00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:17.279
 say it's

00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:18.119
 all because

00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:18.659
 of Jesus?

00:17:19.659 --> 00:17:20.460
 I will

00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:21.179
 boast in

00:17:21.179 --> 00:17:22.139
 nothing else

00:17:22.139 --> 00:17:23.639
 except in

00:17:23.639 --> 00:17:24.339
 what Christ

00:17:24.339 --> 00:17:25.299
 has done.

00:17:26.419 --> 00:17:26.759
 It's

00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:27.279
 Christ

00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:27.879
 plus

00:17:27.879 --> 00:17:29.099
 nothing

00:17:29.099 --> 00:17:30.859
 equals

00:17:30.859 --> 00:17:32.220
 salvation.

00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:34.439
 We're

00:17:34.439 --> 00:17:34.639
 going to

00:17:34.639 --> 00:17:35.039
 see how

00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:35.639
 this works

00:17:35.639 --> 00:17:36.359
 out in

00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:37.759
 more detail.

00:17:38.700 --> 00:17:39.259
 First,

00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:41.240
 the need

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:42.700
 for Christ

00:17:42.700 --> 00:17:43.759
 alone.

00:17:43.940 --> 00:17:44.440
 The need

00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:45.000
 for Christ

00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:45.279
 alone.

00:17:45.380 --> 00:17:45.720
 Go back

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:46.160
 to chapter

00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:46.559
 1,

00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:48.000
 verse 3.

00:17:53.779 --> 00:17:54.339
 Chapter

00:17:54.339 --> 00:17:54.700
 1,

00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:55.319
 verse 3.

00:17:59.319 --> 00:17:59.920
 Grace

00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:00.960
 and peace

00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:01.519
 to you

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:02.799
 from God

00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:03.440
 our Father

00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:03.900
 and the

00:18:03.900 --> 00:18:04.539
 Lord Jesus

00:18:04.539 --> 00:18:05.140
 Christ

00:18:05.140 --> 00:18:06.900
 who gave

00:18:06.900 --> 00:18:07.299
 himself

00:18:07.299 --> 00:18:08.460
 for our

00:18:08.460 --> 00:18:10.420
 sins.

00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:12.680
 We need

00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:13.319
 Christ

00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:14.700
 because of

00:18:14.700 --> 00:18:15.299
 our sin.

00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:17.200
 Now most

00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:17.720
 of the time

00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:18.839
 we think

00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:19.440
 of sins

00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:20.380
 as a

00:18:20.380 --> 00:18:20.799
 weakness.

00:18:21.700 --> 00:18:22.180
 Really,

00:18:22.339 --> 00:18:22.859
 really bad

00:18:22.859 --> 00:18:23.640
 sins and

00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:24.160
 kind of

00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:25.019
 little sins.

00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:26.440
 They're

00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:26.960
 things that

00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:27.299
 we can

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:28.079
 fix by

00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:28.620
 ourselves,

00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:29.640
 by being

00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:30.500
 better people

00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:31.000
 or by

00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:32.259
 trying harder.

00:18:33.380 --> 00:18:34.039
 We look

00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:34.279
 at our

00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:34.579
 life,

00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:35.039
 we see

00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:35.480
 things we

00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:35.980
 don't like,

00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:36.319
 we know

00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:36.740
 it's wrong

00:18:36.740 --> 00:18:37.019
 and we

00:18:37.019 --> 00:18:37.259
 say,

00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:37.980
 I can

00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:38.480
 change

00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:38.740
 that

00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:39.299
 myself.

00:18:39.299 --> 00:18:41.019
 I'm

00:18:41.019 --> 00:18:41.460
 able to

00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:42.019
 change

00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:42.559
 my own

00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:42.980
 life.

00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:45.279
 But sin

00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:45.720
 is not

00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:46.279
 a weakness.

00:18:47.419 --> 00:18:47.899
 It's not

00:18:47.899 --> 00:18:48.480
 a lack

00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:48.980
 of being

00:18:48.980 --> 00:18:49.339
 good.

00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:49.839
 It's not

00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:50.139
 about

00:18:50.139 --> 00:18:50.720
 trying

00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:51.200
 harder.

00:18:52.059 --> 00:18:52.399
 Sin

00:18:52.399 --> 00:18:53.839
 is a

00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:54.319
 nature

00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:55.419
 that we

00:18:55.419 --> 00:18:55.940
 have,

00:18:56.139 --> 00:18:56.599
 that we

00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:57.299
 are born

00:18:57.299 --> 00:18:57.799
 with.

00:18:58.500 --> 00:18:58.779
 Our

00:18:58.779 --> 00:18:59.039
 whole

00:18:59.039 --> 00:18:59.579
 life

00:18:59.579 --> 00:19:00.419
 is

00:19:00.419 --> 00:19:00.879
 corrupt.

00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:02.599
 In fact,

00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:02.899
 it's

00:19:02.899 --> 00:19:03.359
 rebellion

00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:03.899
 against

00:19:03.899 --> 00:19:04.279
 God.

00:19:04.659 --> 00:19:04.879
 Sin

00:19:04.879 --> 00:19:05.659
 is a

00:19:05.659 --> 00:19:06.240
 relational

00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:06.740
 problem.

00:19:06.899 --> 00:19:07.059
 It's

00:19:07.059 --> 00:19:07.240
 our

00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:07.940
 nature

00:19:07.940 --> 00:19:08.720
 which

00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:08.880
 is

00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:09.220
 in

00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:09.820
 conflict

00:19:09.820 --> 00:19:10.779
 with

00:19:10.779 --> 00:19:11.259
 God.

00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:12.500
 So we

00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:12.779
 don't

00:19:12.779 --> 00:19:13.160
 relate

00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:13.420
 to

00:19:13.420 --> 00:19:13.759
 God

00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:14.380
 as

00:19:14.380 --> 00:19:14.559
 we

00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:14.960
 should.

00:19:17.500 --> 00:19:18.100
 One

00:19:18.100 --> 00:19:18.460
 author

00:19:18.460 --> 00:19:18.720
 and

00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:19.080
 writer

00:19:19.080 --> 00:19:19.519
 by the

00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:19.720
 name

00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:19.920
 of

00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:20.259
 Mike

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:20.960
 Reeves

00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:22.519
 paraphrases

00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:23.059
 something

00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:23.400
 that

00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:23.860
 Martin

00:19:23.860 --> 00:19:24.140
 Luther

00:19:24.140 --> 00:19:24.460
 said

00:19:24.460 --> 00:19:24.779
 and he

00:19:24.779 --> 00:19:25.059
 puts

00:19:25.059 --> 00:19:25.200
 it

00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:25.440
 like

00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:25.799
 this.

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:26.940
 I

00:19:26.940 --> 00:19:27.120
 think

00:19:27.120 --> 00:19:27.299
 it's

00:19:27.299 --> 00:19:27.580
 quite

00:19:27.580 --> 00:19:28.000
 helpful.

00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:28.640
 Follow

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:28.980
 along

00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:29.420
 with me

00:19:29.420 --> 00:19:29.740
 as I

00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:30.000
 read

00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:30.240
 it.

00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:31.700
 The

00:19:31.700 --> 00:19:32.220
 problem

00:19:32.220 --> 00:19:32.720
 of our

00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:33.140
 sin

00:19:33.140 --> 00:19:34.259
 goes

00:19:34.259 --> 00:19:34.500
 as

00:19:34.500 --> 00:19:34.880
 deep

00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:35.080
 in

00:19:35.080 --> 00:19:35.460
 us

00:19:35.460 --> 00:19:35.900
 as

00:19:35.900 --> 00:19:36.059
 it

00:19:36.059 --> 00:19:36.480
 possibly

00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:36.960
 can.

00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:38.380
 all

00:19:38.380 --> 00:19:38.559
 the

00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:38.779
 way

00:19:38.779 --> 00:19:39.319
 down

00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:39.960
 into

00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:40.259
 our

00:19:40.259 --> 00:19:40.860
 hearts

00:19:40.860 --> 00:19:41.900
 shaping

00:19:41.900 --> 00:19:42.380
 what

00:19:42.380 --> 00:19:42.640
 we

00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:43.180
 want

00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:44.140
 and

00:19:44.140 --> 00:19:44.600
 love.

00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:45.740
 As

00:19:45.740 --> 00:19:46.220
 a result

00:19:46.220 --> 00:19:46.500
 we

00:19:46.500 --> 00:19:46.980
 never

00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:47.779
 naturally

00:19:47.779 --> 00:19:48.340
 want

00:19:48.340 --> 00:19:48.819
 God.

00:19:49.360 --> 00:19:49.799
 We

00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:50.299
 freely

00:19:50.299 --> 00:19:50.720
 choose

00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:51.039
 to do

00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:51.220
 the

00:19:51.220 --> 00:19:51.460
 things

00:19:51.460 --> 00:19:51.660
 we

00:19:51.660 --> 00:19:52.120
 want

00:19:52.120 --> 00:19:53.420
 but

00:19:53.420 --> 00:19:53.840
 left

00:19:53.840 --> 00:19:54.100
 to

00:19:54.100 --> 00:19:54.740
 ourselves

00:19:54.740 --> 00:19:55.759
 we

00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:56.140
 shall

00:19:56.140 --> 00:19:56.680
 never

00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:57.259
 freely

00:19:57.259 --> 00:19:57.860
 choose

00:19:57.860 --> 00:19:58.319
 God

00:19:58.319 --> 00:19:59.539
 because

00:19:59.539 --> 00:19:59.880
 we

00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:00.220
 do

00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:00.559
 not

00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:01.120
 naturally

00:20:01.120 --> 00:20:01.700
 want

00:20:01.700 --> 00:20:02.539
 him.

00:20:02.539 --> 00:20:05.359
 that's

00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:05.579
 quite

00:20:05.579 --> 00:20:05.779
 a

00:20:05.779 --> 00:20:06.200
 statement

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:06.539
 to

00:20:06.539 --> 00:20:06.819
 think

00:20:06.819 --> 00:20:07.119
 about

00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:07.599
 ourselves

00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:07.899
 like

00:20:07.899 --> 00:20:08.200
 that.

00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:08.680
 We

00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:09.339
 can't

00:20:09.339 --> 00:20:09.740
 even

00:20:09.740 --> 00:20:10.079
 if we

00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:10.579
 wanted

00:20:10.579 --> 00:20:11.039
 to

00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:12.440
 choose

00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:12.680
 to

00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:12.980
 follow

00:20:12.980 --> 00:20:13.460
 God.

00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:15.639
 Our

00:20:15.639 --> 00:20:16.139
 sinful

00:20:16.139 --> 00:20:16.539
 nature

00:20:16.539 --> 00:20:17.059
 is such

00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:17.519
 that we

00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:17.779
 are

00:20:17.779 --> 00:20:18.259
 in

00:20:18.259 --> 00:20:19.019
 conflict

00:20:19.019 --> 00:20:19.440
 with

00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:19.859
 God.

00:20:20.859 --> 00:20:21.480
 We

00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:21.779
 don't

00:20:21.779 --> 00:20:22.139
 have a

00:20:22.139 --> 00:20:22.539
 weakness

00:20:22.539 --> 00:20:23.099
 problem

00:20:23.099 --> 00:20:23.519
 something

00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:23.980
 we can

00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:24.420
 fix

00:20:24.420 --> 00:20:24.960
 ourselves

00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:25.700
 we

00:20:25.700 --> 00:20:25.920
 have

00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:26.099
 a

00:20:26.099 --> 00:20:26.639
 sinful

00:20:26.639 --> 00:20:27.180
 nature

00:20:27.180 --> 00:20:28.019
 that

00:20:28.019 --> 00:20:28.420
 wants

00:20:28.420 --> 00:20:28.639
 to

00:20:28.639 --> 00:20:28.920
 take

00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:29.139
 the

00:20:29.139 --> 00:20:29.599
 place

00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:29.779
 of

00:20:29.779 --> 00:20:30.139
 God

00:20:30.140 --> 00:20:31.480
 and

00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:31.740
 that

00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:32.080
 puts

00:20:32.080 --> 00:20:32.280
 us

00:20:32.280 --> 00:20:32.440
 on

00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:32.580
 a

00:20:32.580 --> 00:20:32.980
 collision

00:20:32.980 --> 00:20:33.600
 course

00:20:33.600 --> 00:20:35.120
 with

00:20:35.120 --> 00:20:35.680
 God's

00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:36.060
 wrath

00:20:36.060 --> 00:20:36.280
 or

00:20:36.280 --> 00:20:37.220
 God's

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:37.880
 judgment.

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:40.520
 So

00:20:40.520 --> 00:20:40.860
 have a

00:20:40.860 --> 00:20:41.160
 look at

00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:41.440
 chapter

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:42.020
 3

00:20:42.020 --> 00:20:43.220
 and

00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:43.520
 verse

00:20:43.520 --> 00:20:44.000
 10.

00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:46.720
 Chapter

00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:47.120
 3

00:20:47.120 --> 00:20:47.440
 verse

00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:47.920
 10.

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:50.520
 As

00:20:50.520 --> 00:20:50.820
 we go

00:20:50.820 --> 00:20:51.040
 through

00:20:51.040 --> 00:20:51.540
 Galatians

00:20:51.540 --> 00:20:51.740
 you're

00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:52.060
 getting a

00:20:52.060 --> 00:20:52.259
 big

00:20:52.259 --> 00:20:52.700
 overview

00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:53.180
 of what

00:20:53.180 --> 00:20:53.440
 the

00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:53.940
 book

00:20:53.940 --> 00:20:54.100
 is

00:20:54.100 --> 00:20:54.280
 all

00:20:54.280 --> 00:20:54.580
 about

00:20:54.580 --> 00:20:54.880
 the

00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:55.140
 letter

00:20:55.140 --> 00:20:55.340
 is

00:20:55.340 --> 00:20:55.500
 all

00:20:55.500 --> 00:20:55.740
 about

00:20:55.740 --> 00:20:55.940
 so

00:20:55.940 --> 00:20:56.200
 chapter

00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:56.520
 3

00:20:56.520 --> 00:20:56.759
 verse

00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:57.100
 10.

00:20:58.460 --> 00:20:58.660
 He

 a

00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:05.420
 you

00:23:05.420 --> 00:23:05.960
 shouldn't

 it

00:23:08.120 --> 00:23:08.320
 even

00:23:08.320 --> 00:23:08.700
 try

00:23:08.700 --> 00:23:08.940
 it

00:23:08.940 --> 00:23:09.700
 for

00:23:11.600 --> 00:23:13.320
 but

00:23:13.320 --> 00:23:13.460
 you

00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:14.160
 can't

00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:14.880
 I'm

00:23:15.100 --> 00:23:15.279
 you

00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:15.440
 now

00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:15.600
 you

00:23:15.600 --> 00:23:16.140
 can't

00:23:16.140 --> 00:23:17.600
 you'll

00:23:17.600 --> 00:23:17.860
 find

00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:20.380
 nature

00:23:20.380 --> 00:23:21.220
 our

00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:21.840
 inability

00:23:21.840 --> 00:23:22.360
 to

00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:23.740
 God

00:23:23.740 --> 00:23:24.240
 means

00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:25.019
 we

00:23:25.019 --> 00:23:25.220
 are

00:23:25.220 --> 00:23:25.560
 under

00:23:25.560 --> 00:23:25.820
 the

 of

00:23:26.300 --> 00:23:26.539
 God

00:23:26.539 --> 00:23:26.779
 we're

00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:27.060
 under

00:23:27.060 --> 00:23:27.320
 his

00:23:27.320 --> 00:23:27.740
 judgment

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:28.700
 we

00:23:28.700 --> 00:23:29.240
 deserve

00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:29.519
 his

00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:29.860
 judgment

00:23:29.860 --> 00:23:30.140
 because

00:23:30.140 --> 00:23:30.279
 we

00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:30.720
 fight

00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:31.140
 against

00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:31.400
 him

00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:31.940
 we

00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:32.200
 want

00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:32.380
 to

00:23:32.380 --> 00:23:32.900
 replace

00:23:32.900 --> 00:23:33.180
 him

00:23:33.180 --> 00:23:35.200
 you

00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:35.380
 see

00:23:35.380 --> 00:23:35.580
 the

00:23:35.580 --> 00:23:36.000
 greatest

00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:36.560
 problem

00:23:36.560 --> 00:23:37.019
 that we

00:23:37.019 --> 00:23:37.460
 all

00:23:37.460 --> 00:23:38.019
 face

00:23:38.019 --> 00:23:38.940
 is not

00:23:38.940 --> 00:23:39.920
 unemployment

00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:41.200
 it's not

00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:42.560
 getting sick

00:23:42.560 --> 00:23:43.740
 it's not

00:23:43.740 --> 00:23:45.220
 our mortgage

00:23:45.220 --> 00:23:46.140
 repayments

00:23:46.140 --> 00:23:47.580
 our greatest

00:23:47.580 --> 00:23:48.500
 problem that we

00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:49.019
 can face

00:23:49.019 --> 00:23:49.799
 is God's

00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:50.259
 justice

00:23:50.259 --> 00:23:51.860
 because

00:23:51.860 --> 00:23:52.539
 God is

00:23:52.539 --> 00:23:52.940
 committed

00:23:52.940 --> 00:23:53.580
 to judging

00:23:53.580 --> 00:23:54.060
 sin

00:23:54.060 --> 00:23:55.080
 all the

00:23:55.080 --> 00:23:55.460
 evil

00:23:55.460 --> 00:23:55.900
 all the

00:23:55.900 --> 00:23:56.460
 wickedness

00:23:56.460 --> 00:23:56.900
 that we

00:23:56.900 --> 00:23:57.320
 see

00:23:57.320 --> 00:23:57.860
 and read

00:23:57.860 --> 00:23:58.120
 about

00:23:58.120 --> 00:23:58.500
 on our

00:23:58.500 --> 00:23:59.060
 news

00:23:59.060 --> 00:23:59.299
 and

00:23:59.299 --> 00:24:00.019
 and all

00:24:00.019 --> 00:24:00.400
 the things

00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:00.560
 we

00:24:00.560 --> 00:24:00.920
 hear

00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:02.220
 God

00:24:02.220 --> 00:24:02.500
 must

00:24:02.500 --> 00:24:02.960
 deal

00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:03.220
 with

00:24:03.220 --> 00:24:03.600
 that

00:24:03.600 --> 00:24:04.060
 he's

00:24:04.060 --> 00:24:04.259
 not

00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:04.440
 going

00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:04.540
 to

00:24:04.540 --> 00:24:04.720
 let

00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:04.860
 it

00:24:04.860 --> 00:24:05.259
 go

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:06.400
 and

00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:06.600
 that

00:24:06.600 --> 00:24:06.900
 means

00:24:06.900 --> 00:24:07.280
 God

00:24:07.280 --> 00:24:07.519
 must

00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:07.860
 judge

00:24:07.860 --> 00:24:08.259
 my

00:24:08.259 --> 00:24:08.620
 sin

00:24:08.620 --> 00:24:08.900
 within

00:24:08.900 --> 00:24:09.380
 my

00:24:09.380 --> 00:24:09.880
 heart

00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:10.900
 and

00:24:10.900 --> 00:24:11.200
 because

00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:11.600
 I

00:24:11.600 --> 00:24:11.820
 have

00:24:11.820 --> 00:24:12.040
 a

00:24:12.040 --> 00:24:12.500
 sinful

00:24:12.500 --> 00:24:13.340
 nature

00:24:13.340 --> 00:24:15.280
 God

00:24:15.280 --> 00:24:15.580
 must

00:24:15.580 --> 00:24:16.120
 judge

00:24:16.120 --> 00:24:16.920
 me

00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:19.000
 sometimes

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:19.580
 we hear

00:24:19.580 --> 00:24:20.040
 a phrase

00:24:20.040 --> 00:24:20.320
 like

00:24:20.320 --> 00:24:20.680
 this

00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:21.600
 you know

00:24:21.600 --> 00:24:21.780
 the

00:24:21.780 --> 00:24:22.380
 difference

00:24:22.380 --> 00:24:22.800
 between

00:24:22.800 --> 00:24:23.040
 the

00:24:23.040 --> 00:24:23.380
 sinner

00:24:23.380 --> 00:24:23.759
 and

00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:23.940
 the

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:24.360
 sin

00:24:24.360 --> 00:24:25.540
 well

00:24:25.540 --> 00:24:26.060
 we

00:24:26.060 --> 00:24:26.500
 can't

00:24:26.500 --> 00:24:26.700
 really

00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:27.280
 separate

00:24:27.280 --> 00:24:27.640
 the

00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:27.940
 sin

00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:28.220
 from

00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:28.400
 the

00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:28.840
 person

00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:29.759
 we

00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:30.339
 have

00:24:30.339 --> 00:24:30.539
 a

00:24:30.539 --> 00:24:31.099
 sinful

00:24:31.099 --> 00:24:31.699
 nature

00:24:31.699 --> 00:24:32.779
 and

00:24:32.779 --> 00:24:32.919
 if

00:24:32.919 --> 00:24:33.179
 God

00:24:33.179 --> 00:24:33.319
 is

00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:33.500
 going

00:24:33.500 --> 00:24:33.679
 to

00:24:33.679 --> 00:24:33.959
 judge

00:24:33.959 --> 00:24:34.359
 sin

00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:34.679
 he's

00:24:34.679 --> 00:24:34.879
 going

00:24:34.879 --> 00:24:35.099
 to

00:24:35.099 --> 00:24:35.439
 judge

00:24:35.439 --> 00:24:36.019
 me

00:24:36.019 --> 00:24:38.599
 you

00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:38.799
 see

00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:39.199
 without

00:24:39.199 --> 00:24:39.839
 Christ

00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:41.099
 I

00:26:02.620 --> 00:26:02.860
 what he

 all

 the

00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:10.380
 weight

00:26:10.380 --> 00:26:10.900
 of the

 matter

00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:11.799
 stands

00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:12.420
 on this

 word

00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:13.779
 or phrase

00:26:15.220 --> 00:26:16.840
 for

00:26:16.840 --> 00:26:17.420
 Christ

00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:17.700
 is

00:26:17.700 --> 00:26:18.380
 innocent

00:26:18.380 --> 00:26:18.860
 as

00:26:19.980 --> 00:26:20.400
 person

00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:20.860
 so he's

00:26:20.860 --> 00:26:21.259
 never done

00:26:21.259 --> 00:26:21.600
 anything

00:26:21.600 --> 00:26:22.039
 wrong

00:26:23.019 --> 00:26:23.579
 perfect

00:26:23.579 --> 00:26:24.659

 bears

 received

00:26:33.779 --> 00:26:34.099

00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:37.599
 denier

00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:39.359
 Paul

00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:39.639
 that

00:27:39.639 --> 00:27:40.619
 persecutor

00:27:40.619 --> 00:27:41.199
 and cruel

00:27:41.199 --> 00:27:41.879
 oppressor

00:27:41.879 --> 00:27:42.959
 David

00:27:42.959 --> 00:27:43.359
 that

00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:44.579
 adulterer

00:27:44.579 --> 00:27:45.079
 that

00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:45.500
 sinner

00:27:45.500 --> 00:27:45.759
 who

00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:45.980
 did

00:27:45.980 --> 00:27:46.319
 eat

00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:46.539
 the

00:27:46.539 --> 00:27:46.859
 fruit

00:27:46.859 --> 00:27:47.099
 in

00:27:47.099 --> 00:27:47.579
 Eden

00:27:47.579 --> 00:27:47.980
 that

00:27:47.980 --> 00:27:48.139
 was

00:27:48.139 --> 00:27:48.519
 Adam

00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:49.299
 that

00:27:49.299 --> 00:27:49.879
 thief

00:27:49.879 --> 00:27:50.299
 who

00:27:50.299 --> 00:27:50.819
 hanged

00:27:50.819 --> 00:27:51.079
 upon

00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:51.299
 the

00:27:51.299 --> 00:27:51.720
 cross

00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:52.740
 and

00:27:52.740 --> 00:27:53.079
 be

00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:53.399
 thou

00:27:53.399 --> 00:27:53.679
 that

00:27:53.679 --> 00:27:54.200
 person

00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:54.679
 who

00:27:54.679 --> 00:27:54.859
 has

00:27:54.859 --> 00:27:55.240
 committed

00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:55.539
 the

00:27:55.539 --> 00:27:55.839
 sins

00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:56.059
 of

00:27:56.059 --> 00:27:56.539
 all

00:27:56.539 --> 00:27:56.980
 men

00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:58.720
 see

00:27:58.720 --> 00:27:59.359
 therefore

00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:00.379
 that

00:28:00.379 --> 00:28:00.960
 thou

00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:01.500
 pay

00:28:01.500 --> 00:28:01.899
 and

00:28:01.899 --> 00:28:02.599
 satisfy

00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:03.799
 for

00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:04.139
 them

00:28:04.140 --> 00:28:05.660
 now

00:28:05.660 --> 00:28:05.860
 just

00:28:05.860 --> 00:28:06.160
 think

00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:06.440
 about

00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:06.720
 that

00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:07.060
 last

00:28:07.060 --> 00:28:07.220
 bit

00:28:07.220 --> 00:28:07.420
 where

00:28:07.420 --> 00:28:07.580
 he

00:28:07.580 --> 00:28:08.160
 begins

00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:08.400
 to

00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:09.340
 personalize

00:28:09.340 --> 00:28:09.460
 it

00:28:09.460 --> 00:28:09.900
 it's

00:28:09.900 --> 00:28:10.120
 like

00:28:10.120 --> 00:28:10.380
 saying

00:28:10.380 --> 00:28:10.560
 to

00:28:10.560 --> 00:28:10.900
 Jesus

00:28:10.900 --> 00:28:11.880
 you've

00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:12.200
 become

00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:12.740
 Peter

00:28:12.740 --> 00:28:13.000
 the

00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:13.480
 denier

00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:14.720
 Jesus

00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:15.220
 you've

00:28:15.220 --> 00:28:15.480
 become

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:15.920
 Paul

00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:16.140
 the

00:28:16.140 --> 00:28:16.820
 persecutor

00:28:16.820 --> 00:28:17.220
 Jesus

00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:17.580
 you've

00:28:17.580 --> 00:28:17.860
 become

00:28:17.860 --> 00:28:18.280
 David

00:28:18.280 --> 00:28:18.520
 the

00:28:18.520 --> 00:28:19.580
 adulterer

00:28:19.580 --> 00:28:20.020
 now

00:28:20.020 --> 00:28:20.280
 put

00:28:20.280 --> 00:28:20.700
 yourself

00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:20.940
 in

00:28:20.940 --> 00:28:21.120
 that

00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:21.860
 situation

00:28:21.860 --> 00:28:23.340
 Jesus

00:28:23.340 --> 00:28:23.800
 doesn't

00:28:23.800 --> 00:28:24.020
 just

00:28:24.020 --> 00:28:24.480
 take

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:24.800
 our

00:28:24.800 --> 00:28:25.100
 sin

00:28:25.100 --> 00:28:26.440
 he

00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:26.820
 takes

00:28:26.820 --> 00:28:27.140
 our

00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:27.540
 place

00:28:27.540 --> 00:28:28.160
 it's

00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:28.380
 like

00:28:28.380 --> 00:28:28.560
 he

00:28:28.560 --> 00:28:29.000
 becomes

00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:29.720
 us

00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:32.440
 in

00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:33.040
 love

00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.639
 Christ becomes sin for us.

00:28:41.539 --> 00:28:44.960
 But that means justice must still be done.

00:28:46.019 --> 00:28:47.619
 Sin must be punished.

00:28:48.099 --> 00:28:49.799
 The curse must fall.

00:28:50.159 --> 00:28:51.960
 Either it will fall on us

00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:56.039
 or it will fall on someone else.

00:28:57.220 --> 00:29:00.079
 So Christ becomes sin for us

00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:05.599
 and therefore he is cursed for us.

00:29:06.139 --> 00:29:07.199
 Verse 13.

00:29:08.019 --> 00:29:09.599
 Let's read verse 13 again.

00:29:11.059 --> 00:29:14.059
 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law

00:29:14.059 --> 00:29:17.220
 by becoming a curse for us

00:29:17.220 --> 00:29:18.599
 for it is written

00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:21.099
 and again it's a quote from the Old Testament

00:29:21.099 --> 00:29:25.279
 cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.

00:29:26.539 --> 00:29:28.639
 So the curse, the judgment,

00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:32.259
 the punishment for not fully obeying God

00:29:32.259 --> 00:29:34.060
 and doing everything as God has said

00:29:34.060 --> 00:29:35.660
 is judgment.

00:29:36.060 --> 00:29:37.060
 It was death.

00:29:38.300 --> 00:29:40.460
 Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.

00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:44.600
 So in taking my sin on himself

00:29:44.600 --> 00:29:46.820
 Christ now becomes guilty

00:29:46.820 --> 00:29:48.480
 deserving of judgment.

00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:52.640
 And as Christ died on the cross

00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:54.900
 he is being treated as a sinner

00:29:54.900 --> 00:29:56.420
 because at that moment

00:29:56.420 --> 00:29:58.420
 Christ is a sinner.

00:29:59.580 --> 00:30:02.300
 With his arms nailed to the cross

00:30:02.300 --> 00:30:04.560
 his feet nailed to the cross

00:30:04.560 --> 00:30:08.440
 the curse falls not on us

00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:12.000
 but it falls instead on Jesus.

00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:14.160
 He absorbed the wrath

00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:16.240
 for my sin.

00:30:17.660 --> 00:30:18.759
 John's Gospel

00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.980
 that we read earlier as we were singing

00:30:22.980 --> 00:30:25.099
 at the end of the Gospel

00:30:25.099 --> 00:30:26.880
 where Jesus dies

00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:28.579
 John records there

00:30:28.579 --> 00:30:29.900
 that as Jesus died

00:30:29.900 --> 00:30:31.220
 he cried out

00:30:31.220 --> 00:30:32.720
 it is finished.

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:34.940
 In other words

00:30:34.940 --> 00:30:35.980
 it's over.

00:30:36.339 --> 00:30:37.240
 At the cross

00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:38.680
 justice has been done.

00:30:39.140 --> 00:30:40.440
 Sin has been punished

00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:41.480
 once and for all.

00:30:41.819 --> 00:30:43.019
 There's nothing left

00:30:43.019 --> 00:30:44.259
 for us to do.

00:30:46.460 --> 00:30:47.860
 Let me quote again

00:30:47.860 --> 00:30:49.319
 from Martin Luther

00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:50.480
 on his commentary

00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:52.460
 in Galatians.

00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:54.279
 He says this

00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:55.400
 follow along with me

00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:57.680
 Let us receive

00:30:57.680 --> 00:30:59.440
 this most sweet doctrine

00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:00.620
 this sweet truth

00:31:00.620 --> 00:31:03.000
 so full of comfort

00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:04.920
 with thanksgiving

00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:06.779
 and with assured faith

00:31:06.779 --> 00:31:08.420
 which teaches

00:31:08.420 --> 00:31:09.279
 that Christ

00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:10.839
 being made a curse

00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:11.920
 for us

00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:13.819
 that is a sinner

00:31:13.819 --> 00:31:15.319
 under the wrath of God

00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:17.759
 put upon himself

00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:19.500
 our person

00:31:19.500 --> 00:31:21.900
 and laid our sins

00:31:21.900 --> 00:31:23.420
 on his own shoulders

00:31:23.420 --> 00:31:24.339
 saying

00:31:24.339 --> 00:31:25.700
 I have committed

00:31:25.700 --> 00:31:26.379
 the sins

00:31:26.379 --> 00:31:27.819
 which all men

00:31:27.819 --> 00:31:28.480
 have committed

00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:31.180
 because he has taken

00:31:31.180 --> 00:31:32.160
 upon himself

00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:33.180
 our sins

00:31:33.180 --> 00:31:34.980
 not by constraint

00:31:34.980 --> 00:31:36.220
 not because he was forced

00:31:36.220 --> 00:31:39.140
 but of his own good will

00:31:39.140 --> 00:31:41.160
 it pleased him

00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:42.500
 to bear the punishment

00:31:42.500 --> 00:31:43.680
 and wrath of God

00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:45.700
 not for his own person

00:31:45.700 --> 00:31:47.059
 not for his own good

00:31:47.059 --> 00:31:49.779
 but for our person

00:31:49.779 --> 00:31:50.960
 for our good

00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:54.100
 so making a happy exchange

00:31:54.100 --> 00:31:54.720
 with us

00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:56.940
 he took upon himself

00:31:56.940 --> 00:31:58.519
 our sinful person

00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:00.740
 and gave unto us

00:32:00.740 --> 00:32:02.319
 his innocent

00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:04.759
 and victorious person

00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:07.299
 wherewith we being now

00:32:07.299 --> 00:32:08.160
 clothed

00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:09.180
 are freed

00:32:09.180 --> 00:32:10.539
 from the curse

00:32:10.539 --> 00:32:11.140
 of the law

00:32:11.140 --> 00:32:13.620
 he's telling us

00:32:13.620 --> 00:32:14.740
 that the sacrifice

00:32:14.740 --> 00:32:16.120
 of Christ alone

00:32:16.120 --> 00:32:17.600
 is sufficient

00:32:17.600 --> 00:32:19.940
 to deal with our sin

00:32:19.940 --> 00:32:22.720
 and our deserved judgment

00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.000
 so when we stand

00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:25.960
 before God

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:28.000
 it's not because I

00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:31.380
 it's because Christ

00:32:31.380 --> 00:32:35.759
 third the rewards

00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:37.380
 or if you're taking notes

00:32:37.380 --> 00:32:38.360
 you might like to change

00:32:38.360 --> 00:32:39.360
 the word rewards

00:32:39.360 --> 00:32:40.100
 to blessings

00:32:40.099 --> 00:32:40.899
 because I think sometimes

00:32:40.899 --> 00:32:41.980
 when you say reward

00:32:41.980 --> 00:32:43.819
 it's something you earn

00:32:43.819 --> 00:32:45.199
 or you're thinking you earn

00:32:45.199 --> 00:32:47.359
 so change that to blessing

00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:48.519
 so the blessing

00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:50.699
 through Christ alone

00:32:50.699 --> 00:32:52.259
 the blessings

00:32:52.259 --> 00:32:53.419
 that we receive

00:32:53.419 --> 00:32:54.859
 because of what Christ

00:32:54.859 --> 00:32:55.399
 has done

00:32:55.399 --> 00:32:56.980
 are told for us

00:32:56.980 --> 00:32:57.859
 in chapter 3

00:32:57.859 --> 00:32:59.439
 verse 26

00:32:59.439 --> 00:33:01.619
 look at chapter 3

00:33:01.619 --> 00:33:02.659
 verse 26

00:33:02.660 --> 00:33:11.980
 you are all sons

00:33:11.980 --> 00:33:13.340
 or all children

00:33:13.340 --> 00:33:14.040
 of God

00:33:14.040 --> 00:33:15.980
 through faith

00:33:15.980 --> 00:33:17.340
 in Christ

00:33:17.340 --> 00:33:17.820
 Jesus

00:33:17.820 --> 00:33:19.380
 by trusting

00:33:19.380 --> 00:33:20.180
 your life

00:33:20.180 --> 00:33:21.279
 to Christ alone

00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:22.759
 by boasting

00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:23.779
 in Christ alone

00:33:23.779 --> 00:33:24.640
 our life

00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:25.759
 is forever changed

00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:26.740
 our identity

00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:27.420
 changes

00:33:27.420 --> 00:33:28.560
 our future

00:33:28.560 --> 00:33:29.259
 changes

00:33:29.259 --> 00:33:30.839
 instead of receiving

00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:31.539
 curse

00:33:31.539 --> 00:33:33.200
 we now receive

00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:34.240
 blessing

00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:35.720
 two things

00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:36.079
 quickly

00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:37.379
 that we receive

00:33:37.379 --> 00:33:39.079
 two wonderful blessings

00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:40.740
 if our faith

00:33:40.740 --> 00:33:41.619
 is in Christ

00:33:41.619 --> 00:33:42.440
 alone

00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:44.140
 first we become

00:33:44.140 --> 00:33:44.779
 children

00:33:44.779 --> 00:33:46.119
 of God

00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:47.099
 by faith

00:33:47.099 --> 00:33:47.660
 in Christ

00:33:47.660 --> 00:33:48.099
 alone

00:33:48.099 --> 00:33:49.980
 I am adopted

00:33:49.980 --> 00:33:50.940
 into the family

00:33:50.940 --> 00:33:51.299
 of God

00:33:51.299 --> 00:33:52.379
 I become a son

00:33:52.379 --> 00:33:53.599
 or a daughter

00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:54.119
 of God

00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:54.960
 the barrier

00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:55.420
 of sin

00:33:55.420 --> 00:33:56.160
 is completely

00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:56.759
 removed

00:33:56.759 --> 00:33:57.940
 so I am now

00:33:57.940 --> 00:33:58.519
 treated

00:33:58.519 --> 00:33:59.279
 as God's

00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:00.640
 own son

00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:01.859
 so look at

00:34:01.859 --> 00:34:02.539
 verse 6

00:34:02.539 --> 00:34:03.640
 of chapter 4

00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:04.819
 verse 6

00:34:04.819 --> 00:34:08.059
 because

00:34:08.059 --> 00:34:10.139
 you are sons

00:34:10.139 --> 00:34:11.599
 God sent

00:34:11.599 --> 00:34:12.320
 the spirit

00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:13.280
 of his son

00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:15.119
 into our hearts

00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:16.360
 the spirit

00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:17.380
 who calls out

00:34:17.380 --> 00:34:18.159
 Abba

00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:19.619
 which means

00:34:19.619 --> 00:34:20.699
 father

00:34:20.699 --> 00:34:21.960
 you see

00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:22.840
 without Christ

00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:23.679
 our relationship

00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:24.239
 with God

00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:25.139
 is one of guilt

00:34:25.139 --> 00:34:26.179
 and judgment

00:34:26.179 --> 00:34:27.399
 we are just like

00:34:27.399 --> 00:34:28.059
 Martin Luther

00:34:28.059 --> 00:34:28.899
 wandering around

00:34:28.899 --> 00:34:30.199
 the university grounds

00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:31.139
 terrified

00:34:31.139 --> 00:34:32.500
 of God

00:34:32.500 --> 00:34:34.719
 but now

00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:35.819
 because of Christ

00:34:35.819 --> 00:34:38.159
 I can call him

00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:39.299
 father

00:34:39.299 --> 00:34:41.500
 I am loved

00:34:41.500 --> 00:34:43.059
 and treasured

00:34:43.059 --> 00:34:44.500
 as his own son

00:34:44.500 --> 00:34:45.859
 the relationship

00:34:45.859 --> 00:34:46.719
 that Christ

00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:47.779
 has with the father

00:34:47.779 --> 00:34:49.159
 now becomes

00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:50.759
 ours to enjoy

00:34:50.759 --> 00:34:52.419
 and that means

00:34:52.419 --> 00:34:53.299
 when you or I

00:34:53.299 --> 00:34:53.639
 sin

00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:54.440
 and we continue

00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:54.980
 to sin

00:34:54.980 --> 00:34:56.579
 we don't need

00:34:56.579 --> 00:34:57.139
 to run in

00:34:57.139 --> 00:34:58.000
 fear from

00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:58.420
 God

00:34:58.420 --> 00:35:00.079
 we can come

00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:00.900
 to the father

00:35:00.900 --> 00:35:01.800
 without fear

00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:03.260
 we can come

00:35:03.260 --> 00:35:03.960
 in repentance

00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:04.860
 knowing that he

00:35:04.860 --> 00:35:05.780
 accepts us

00:35:05.780 --> 00:35:06.900
 forgives us

00:35:06.900 --> 00:35:07.699
 loves us

00:35:07.699 --> 00:35:08.719
 no longer do I

00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:09.599
 need to hide

00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:10.740
 my sin from him

00:35:10.740 --> 00:35:11.840
 no longer do I

00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:12.679
 need to try and

00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:14.579
 fix my own life

00:35:14.579 --> 00:35:16.559
 I no longer

00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:17.559
 need to fear him

00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:18.440
 I can now come

00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:18.900
 to him

00:35:18.900 --> 00:35:20.500
 and enjoy him

00:35:20.500 --> 00:35:21.659
 and receive

00:35:21.659 --> 00:35:22.260
 from him

00:35:22.260 --> 00:35:23.220
 that blessing

00:35:23.220 --> 00:35:24.320
 of being

00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:25.020
 a child

00:35:25.020 --> 00:35:25.660
 of God

00:35:25.660 --> 00:35:27.900
 but not only

00:35:27.900 --> 00:35:28.300
 that

00:35:28.300 --> 00:35:29.800
 we also

00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:30.280
 become

00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:31.100
 heirs

00:35:31.100 --> 00:35:32.400
 of God

00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:33.700
 look at verse 7

00:35:33.700 --> 00:35:34.500
 chapter 4

00:35:34.500 --> 00:35:35.180
 verse 7

00:35:35.180 --> 00:35:37.140
 so you are

00:35:37.140 --> 00:35:37.780
 no longer

00:35:37.780 --> 00:35:38.700
 a slave

00:35:38.700 --> 00:35:40.740
 but a son

00:35:40.740 --> 00:35:42.200
 and since

00:35:42.200 --> 00:35:43.220
 you are a son

00:35:43.220 --> 00:35:44.880
 God has made

00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:45.660
 you also

00:35:45.660 --> 00:35:46.500
 an heir

00:35:46.500 --> 00:35:47.620
 now

00:35:47.620 --> 00:35:48.940
 the eldest son

00:35:48.940 --> 00:35:49.500
 in the family

00:35:49.500 --> 00:35:50.239
 maybe you are

00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:51.079
 here the eldest

00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:51.940
 child in your

00:35:51.940 --> 00:35:52.360
 family

00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:54.639
 the eldest son

00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:55.300
 in the family

00:35:55.300 --> 00:35:56.760
 always was the

00:35:56.760 --> 00:35:57.699
 legal heir

00:35:57.699 --> 00:35:58.860
 to the father's

00:35:58.860 --> 00:35:59.260
 estate

00:35:59.260 --> 00:36:00.659
 so when the

00:36:00.659 --> 00:36:01.480
 father died

00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:02.900
 everything would

00:36:02.900 --> 00:36:04.260
 legally be

00:36:04.260 --> 00:36:05.199
 transferred to

00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:06.119
 the eldest son

00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:06.900
 he would inherit

00:36:06.900 --> 00:36:08.119
 everything that

00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:08.840
 belonged to the

00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:09.199
 father

00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:11.500
 now because of

00:36:11.500 --> 00:36:11.980
 Christ

00:36:11.980 --> 00:36:13.099
 we are now

00:36:13.099 --> 00:36:14.199
 treated by God

00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:15.400
 as if we are

00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:16.800
 the eldest son

00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:18.159
 we have become

00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:18.920
 heirs

00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:20.400
 so all that

00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:21.039
 belongs to

00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:21.380
 Christ

00:36:21.380 --> 00:36:22.139
 the true

00:36:22.139 --> 00:36:22.960
 eldest son

00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:24.519
 now becomes

00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:25.519
 ours today

00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:26.659
 we have an

00:36:26.659 --> 00:36:27.340
 inheritance

00:36:27.340 --> 00:36:28.360
 a glorious

00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:29.039
 future

00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:30.500
 to look forward

00:36:30.500 --> 00:36:30.840
 to

00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:32.539
 and the good

00:36:32.539 --> 00:36:33.240
 news of that

00:36:33.240 --> 00:36:33.619
 is

00:36:33.619 --> 00:36:34.720
 that even

00:36:34.720 --> 00:36:35.559
 when I sin

00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:36.539
 even when I

00:36:36.539 --> 00:36:37.220
 mess up

00:36:37.220 --> 00:36:38.880
 I am not

00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:39.900
 disqualified

00:36:39.900 --> 00:36:41.280
 from that

00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:41.820
 inheritance

00:36:41.820 --> 00:36:43.200
 even when I

00:36:43.200 --> 00:36:44.380
 fail and fall

00:36:44.380 --> 00:36:45.460
 God doesn't

00:36:45.460 --> 00:36:46.220
 strike me out

00:36:46.220 --> 00:36:46.800
 and say that's

00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:47.780
 too many times

00:36:47.780 --> 00:36:48.720
 you are no

00:36:48.720 --> 00:36:49.500
 longer going to

00:36:49.500 --> 00:36:50.080
 receive your

00:36:50.080 --> 00:36:50.580
 inheritance

00:36:50.580 --> 00:36:52.440
 because Christ

00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:53.040
 has dealt

00:36:53.040 --> 00:36:53.920
 with my sin

00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:54.840
 past

00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:55.740
 present

00:36:55.740 --> 00:36:57.019
 and future

00:36:57.019 --> 00:36:57.920
 I am

00:36:57.920 --> 00:36:58.840
 guaranteed

00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:00.519
 that future

00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:01.120
 inheritance

00:37:01.120 --> 00:37:02.300
 with him

00:37:02.300 --> 00:37:03.880
 so

00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:05.440
 salvation

00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:06.900
 is in

00:37:06.900 --> 00:37:07.500
 Christ

00:37:07.500 --> 00:37:08.600
 alone

00:37:08.600 --> 00:37:10.080
 remember that

00:37:10.080 --> 00:37:10.940
 equation at the

00:37:10.940 --> 00:37:11.560
 very beginning

00:37:11.559 --> 00:37:13.440
 it is Christ

00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:15.519
 plus nothing

00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:17.179
 equals

00:37:17.179 --> 00:37:18.820
 salvation

00:37:18.820 --> 00:37:21.239
 not because

00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:21.759
 I

00:37:21.759 --> 00:37:24.000
 but because

00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:25.099
 Christ

00:37:25.099 --> 00:37:28.480
 let's pray

00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:29.380
 together

00:37:29.380 --> 00:37:43.039
 may I

00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:44.260
 never boast

00:37:44.260 --> 00:37:45.420
 that
