00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.960
 Join me in Romans chapter 8.

00:00:06.179 --> 00:00:12.300
 Our text this morning is Romans chapter 8, verses 1 through 4, for the second time.

00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:20.240
! Very glad to see all of you here this morning. I hope that you're expectant as I am to see what the Lord will do as we open His Word together.

00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:31.679
 Last week I was very pleased to begin our study of this precious chapter in this most treasured letter in this glorious book that we call the Bible.

00:00:32.839 --> 00:00:41.200
 We did not manage to make it far into the text as time constrained us, so I'm eager to consider our consideration of these four verses.

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:56.240
 Before I read the text, allow me to remind you that this letter so far, Paul has given great labor to show us that everyone is guilty before God and rightly deserves His justice and our due condemnation,

00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:06.980
 but that we can be justified or declared righteous by grace alone, through faith alone, in the person and work of Jesus Christ alone.

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:20.880
 Because of God's loving kindness, we can escape His judgment through faith, because Christ bore the wrath due us on the cross, and He fulfilled the requirement of the law for us.

00:01:21.820 --> 00:01:34.100
 By believing in Him, we lose our guilt, we gain His righteousness, and not only are we freed from the eternal verdict of our sin, but we are also set free from its power now.

00:01:34.099 --> 00:01:42.500
 This is the concisest summary I think I can faithfully give you of the first seven chapters of Romans.

00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:49.399
 Let's press on into the second week of our look at the first four verses of chapter 8.

00:01:50.259 --> 00:01:55.939
 Before I read them, let me remind you, beloved, that this is God's Word to us, written for His glory and our good.

00:01:56.619 --> 00:02:02.619
 And so we would all do well to listen to it in order to believe its promises and obey its commands.

00:02:02.620 --> 00:02:10.180
 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:17.020
 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.840
 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do.

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.620
 By sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin,

00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:34.819
 He condemned sin in the flesh in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us,

00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:40.200
 who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

00:02:41.460 --> 00:02:45.159
 Last week we spent the majority of our time on verse 1.

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:53.560
 But I would be remiss to not spend a little further time on it this morning before looking at verses 2 through 4.

00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.659
 Verse 1 should be emblazoned on our minds.

00:02:58.780 --> 00:03:00.900
 It needs to remain there.

00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:08.140
 Some people float through life unconcerned about how they live and the consequences of their living.

00:03:09.099 --> 00:03:11.819
 However, if you are anything like me,

00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:17.319
 you may be a person that thinks constantly about how you should or shouldn't orient your life

00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:26.620
 and likely find yourself issuing sentences and handing out verdicts of condemnation against yourself for your failures.

00:03:27.219 --> 00:03:33.519
 Chapter 8 and verse 1 is salve for our weary souls.

00:03:34.419 --> 00:03:39.319
 This verse reminds us that we are not the eternal judge of the cosmos.

00:03:40.079 --> 00:03:43.620
 We are not qualified to hold the position.

00:03:43.620 --> 00:03:48.420
 But the one who is says to us,

00:03:49.219 --> 00:03:56.020
 there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.060
 It's just incredible.

00:03:58.819 --> 00:04:03.340
 No condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:09.759
 Of course, the clear implication is there is condemnation for those who are not in Christ Jesus.

00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.979
 And I spent some time last week talking about that condemnation,

00:04:14.179 --> 00:04:17.620
 that justice that is due you.

00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:20.219
 It's the most important thing about you,

00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.659
 whether or not you are in Christ.

00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.719
 The Greek word here rendered,

00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:27.719
 condemnation,

00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.779
 relates to the sentencing of a crime,

00:04:30.899 --> 00:04:32.980
 but focuses not on the verdict,

00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.779
 but on the penalty that is due the crime.

00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:40.539
 Its emphasis is not on the declaration of guilt,

00:04:40.819 --> 00:04:46.500
 but on the price that must be paid for the crime of rebellion against God.

00:04:47.359 --> 00:04:49.879
 Paul tells us that for those who are in Christ Jesus,

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.019
 there is no longer any condemnation.

00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:54.399
 Beloved,

00:04:54.939 --> 00:04:56.119
 in Christ Jesus,

00:04:56.419 --> 00:04:59.039
 no longer condemnation.

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.200
 Because of the completed work of Jesus Christ,

00:05:02.340 --> 00:05:07.100
 the sentence that we fully deserve has been commuted.

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:09.540
 We have passed from death to life,

00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:10.939
 from enemies to friends.

00:05:11.340 --> 00:05:12.879
 We were once estranged,

00:05:13.020 --> 00:05:14.960
 but now we belong.

00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:18.660
 Hear me carefully this morning.

00:05:18.820 --> 00:05:20.360
 This declaration of Paul's,

00:05:20.700 --> 00:05:24.120
 there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

00:05:24.220 --> 00:05:27.160
 does not depend on you.

00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:31.360
 It does not serve at the whim of your emotions.

00:05:31.740 --> 00:05:35.780
 It depends entirely on God,

00:05:36.180 --> 00:05:39.020
 so it is sure.

00:05:39.900 --> 00:05:42.660
 God accomplishes all that he sets out to,

00:05:42.780 --> 00:05:45.879
 and all of his promises are kept.

00:05:46.660 --> 00:05:50.879
 Our salvation find its confidence in him,

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.280
 not in ourselves.

00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:57.079
 Now, if some of what I just said sounds familiar to you,

00:05:57.159 --> 00:05:57.859
 that's good.

00:05:58.339 --> 00:06:00.679
 It means that you were paying attention last week.

00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.959
 That last paragraph was word for word,

00:06:03.099 --> 00:06:04.719
 what I said last week,

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:05.959
 as far as I can remember.

00:06:07.239 --> 00:06:09.439
 I think that we all need to hear it again.

00:06:10.159 --> 00:06:11.799
 I know that I did,

00:06:11.939 --> 00:06:14.179
 and that I do need to hear it,

00:06:14.299 --> 00:06:17.279
 time and time and time again.

00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:17.839
 Again,

00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:24.599
 there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

00:06:25.179 --> 00:06:26.339
 A wonderful,

00:06:26.739 --> 00:06:28.299
 wonderful truth.

00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:32.719
 Let's take a look at verses 2 through 4,

00:06:32.819 --> 00:06:35.859
 as Paul continues to expand this idea.

00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:38.339
 I want to ask and answer two questions.

00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:40.419
 I did that super fast last week,

00:06:40.899 --> 00:06:42.299
 about verse 1,

00:06:42.300 --> 00:06:45.680
 and they find the answer here in verses 2 through 4.

00:06:46.520 --> 00:06:47.420
 In these verses,

00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:51.259
 we will see Paul coupling the doctrines of justification

00:06:51.259 --> 00:06:53.319
 and sanctification

00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:57.740
 in a most concise and helpful way.

00:06:58.519 --> 00:06:59.660
 So the first question is this,

00:06:59.740 --> 00:07:03.480
 how is there, therefore, now no condemnation?

00:07:03.819 --> 00:07:04.819
 We've been saying this.

00:07:04.840 --> 00:07:06.240
 We've been saying this all throughout the letter.

00:07:06.379 --> 00:07:07.879
 I have said it last week.

00:07:07.939 --> 00:07:10.300
 I have said it in the introduction to this morning,

00:07:10.300 --> 00:07:12.460
 because if you are in Christ Jesus,

00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:15.139
 you have been justified.

00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.439
 There's not condemnation for you

00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:21.800
 because you have been declared righteous.

00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.100
 Justification is a legal declaration

00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:30.040
 that your sins have been forgiven, expunged.

00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.379
 As far as the East is for the West,

00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.720
 God has forgotten them,

00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:38.000
 as if they never existed at all.

00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.319
 You've been forgiven of your sin

00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:46.019
 and that you have perfectly kept the law in Christ.

00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.240
 His righteousness has been given to you.

00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:53.379
 This is the idea, the doctrine of double imputation.

00:07:53.819 --> 00:07:56.079
 Our sinfulness given to Christ,

00:07:56.459 --> 00:08:00.600
 His righteousness given to us through faith.

00:08:01.259 --> 00:08:05.240
 The great exchange, Martin Luther called it.

00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.600
 For the law of the Spirit of life

00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.300
 has set you free in Christ Jesus

00:08:12.300 --> 00:08:16.000
 from the law of sin and death.

00:08:16.660 --> 00:08:19.160
 Now, here Paul uses the word law

00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.800
 not in reference to natural law

00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.379
 or the Mosaic law.

00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.620
 And he's going to use it in that way

00:08:26.620 --> 00:08:28.079
 in the following verses.

00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:30.379
 And sometimes Paul's writing gets a little confusing

00:08:30.379 --> 00:08:34.279
 about which particular use of this word he's employing.

00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:38.220
 Here he's using it as a principle of operation.

00:08:39.059 --> 00:08:41.339
 So you can think of it in these terms.

00:08:41.459 --> 00:08:43.120
 There's therefore now no condemnation

00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:44.399
 for those who are in Christ Jesus

00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:47.699
 because for those who are in Christ Jesus,

00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.240
 the operating principle of the Spirit of life

00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.879
 has set you free from the operating principle

00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.100
 of sin and death.

00:08:58.100 --> 00:09:04.060
 What now controls us is entirely different.

00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.460
 I love here that the Holy Spirit,

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.460
 which we can have no doubt Paul is referring to

00:09:10.460 --> 00:09:12.920
 by reading the rest of the chapter.

00:09:13.180 --> 00:09:15.159
 We know it's the Holy Spirit he's talking about.

00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.420
 But here he refers to the Holy Spirit

00:09:18.420 --> 00:09:21.080
 as the Spirit of life.

00:09:21.500 --> 00:09:23.420
 We should put that in our vernacular

00:09:23.419 --> 00:09:25.599
 and use it more often.

00:09:25.599 --> 00:09:28.539
 The Spirit of life.

00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:31.559
 Paul ascribes this title to him

00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:32.740
 as he introduces him

00:09:32.740 --> 00:09:34.519
 in direct opposition

00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:38.319
 to the consequence of our sin.

00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.500
 Our activity, apart from Christ,

00:09:41.699 --> 00:09:43.079
 brought death.

00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:45.459
 But now, in Christ,

00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:47.279
 the Spirit of life

00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.699
 brings life.

00:09:49.700 --> 00:09:51.920
 It's a very clever,

00:09:52.300 --> 00:09:53.740
 perhaps inspired,

00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.040
 play on words.

00:09:56.540 --> 00:09:58.040
 The emphasis here

00:09:58.040 --> 00:09:59.420
 is on his work

00:09:59.420 --> 00:10:02.600
 in spite of ours.

00:10:03.780 --> 00:10:06.120
 Beloved, God loves us too much

00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:09.060
 to leave us to ourselves.

00:10:10.060 --> 00:10:11.960
 Were it not for his saving grace,

00:10:12.160 --> 00:10:14.800
 we would remain utterly lost.

00:10:15.420 --> 00:10:16.379
 And he knows this.

00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.120
 But because of his saving grace,

00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.120
 we have great reason

00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:22.779
 for great confidence

00:10:22.779 --> 00:10:25.759
 in Christ Jesus.

00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:29.720
 He has saved us

00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:31.120
 if we're in him.

00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.419
 Listen to Paul say this elsewhere.

00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:35.980
 This is 2 Corinthians 3,

00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.360
 verse 4 and following.

00:10:39.659 --> 00:10:41.759
 Such is the confidence

00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.659
 that we have through Christ

00:10:43.659 --> 00:10:45.460
 toward God.

00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:47.539
 Not that we are sufficient

00:10:47.539 --> 00:10:48.179
 in ourselves

00:10:48.179 --> 00:10:49.199
 to claim anything

00:10:49.199 --> 00:10:50.360
 as coming from us,

00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:51.399
 but our sufficiency

00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.199
 is from God,

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.339
 who has made us

00:10:56.339 --> 00:10:57.299
 sufficient to be ministers

00:10:57.299 --> 00:10:58.059
 of a new covenant.

00:10:58.399 --> 00:10:59.959
 Not of the letter,

00:11:00.419 --> 00:11:02.019
 here he's referring to the law,

00:11:02.659 --> 00:11:04.939
 but of the Spirit.

00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:07.219
 For the letter kills,

00:11:07.939 --> 00:11:11.399
 but the Spirit gives life.

00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.699
 And Paul continues

00:11:13.699 --> 00:11:15.959
 into verse 3

00:11:15.959 --> 00:11:17.860
 with another 4.

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:18.279
 He says,

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.240
 For God has done

00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:21.860
 what the law,

00:11:22.419 --> 00:11:23.379
 weakened by the flesh,

00:11:23.459 --> 00:11:24.199
 could not do

00:11:24.199 --> 00:11:25.559
 by sending his own Son

00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:27.079
 in the likeness of sinful flesh,

00:11:27.139 --> 00:11:28.259
 and for sin,

00:11:28.620 --> 00:11:30.120
 he condemned sin

00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:31.720
 in the flesh.

00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.179
 Now this time,

00:11:34.319 --> 00:11:35.199
 as I mentioned,

00:11:35.379 --> 00:11:37.199
 Paul does use the word law

00:11:37.199 --> 00:11:40.000
 in reference to natural law,

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.240
 or in reference to

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.419
 the Mosaic law.

00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:45.019
 He is talking about

00:11:45.019 --> 00:11:45.799
 those things

00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:46.539
 that we can know

00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:47.539
 are right or wrong

00:11:47.539 --> 00:11:48.559
 because our conscience

00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:49.740
 bears witness to it,

00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:51.340
 or because he has

00:11:51.340 --> 00:11:53.440
 directly commanded it.

00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.779
 The law can provoke

00:11:56.779 --> 00:11:57.539
 sin in men

00:11:57.539 --> 00:11:59.559
 and condemn them for it,

00:11:59.960 --> 00:12:02.019
 but it cannot deliver them

00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:03.740
 from its consequences.

00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:05.600
 Why?

00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:08.440
 Because our sinful flesh

00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.300
 cannot keep the law.

00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:12.740
 He says it right there.

00:12:12.820 --> 00:12:13.340
 For God has done

00:12:13.340 --> 00:12:14.060
 what the law,

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.060
 weakened by the flesh,

00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:18.720
 our very sin nature,

00:12:18.920 --> 00:12:19.680
 the way in which

00:12:19.680 --> 00:12:20.340
 we are born,

00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.879
 unable to keep the law.

00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:23.940
 The law can't accomplish

00:12:23.940 --> 00:12:25.000
 that purpose

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.659
 because we can't keep it.

00:12:28.379 --> 00:12:29.860
 We have rebelled against it

00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:31.960
 and would continue to do so

00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:34.779
 without God's intervention.

00:12:34.779 --> 00:12:37.379
 And so praise God

00:12:37.379 --> 00:12:38.059
 for this phrase

00:12:38.059 --> 00:12:38.480
 at the beginning

00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:39.339
 of verse 3.

00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.399
 For God has done.

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.480
 What a beautiful phrase.

00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:51.939
 Beloved, we are passive agents

00:12:51.939 --> 00:12:54.860
 in God's saving work.

00:12:56.139 --> 00:12:58.100
 I will never grow tired

00:12:58.100 --> 00:12:59.519
 of telling you this.

00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:01.659
 This is not always agreed upon

00:13:01.659 --> 00:13:02.819
 in our day.

00:13:02.820 --> 00:13:06.240
 We are passive agents

00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:08.460
 in God's saving work.

00:13:09.180 --> 00:13:11.620
 We cannot save ourselves.

00:13:11.900 --> 00:13:13.800
 We offer nothing

00:13:13.800 --> 00:13:15.260
 to the equation

00:13:15.260 --> 00:13:17.460
 but our sinfulness.

00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:19.900
 We need to hear it.

00:13:20.400 --> 00:13:21.680
 For many reasons,

00:13:21.800 --> 00:13:22.620
 we need to hear it.

00:13:23.100 --> 00:13:24.280
 And not because I think

00:13:24.280 --> 00:13:24.900
 that it's important

00:13:24.900 --> 00:13:25.680
 to tell you so,

00:13:25.780 --> 00:13:27.200
 because it's my particular

00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:28.840
 theological bend,

00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:29.800
 it's the camp

00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:31.320
 that I like to hang out in,

00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.260
 but because God thinks

00:13:33.260 --> 00:13:33.720
 it's important

00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:34.780
 to tell us so.

00:13:35.280 --> 00:13:36.600
 And he tells us again

00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:38.220
 and again and again.

00:13:38.540 --> 00:13:39.940
 We are taught in the Bible

00:13:39.940 --> 00:13:41.460
 that God's saving work

00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:43.240
 is monergistic.

00:13:43.660 --> 00:13:45.340
 He accomplishes it.

00:13:45.800 --> 00:13:47.220
 For God has done.

00:13:47.640 --> 00:13:49.120
 What you could not do

00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:50.240
 is the way you could read

00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:51.860
 the beginning of verse 3.

00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:53.340
 You can't do it.

00:13:53.740 --> 00:13:55.440
 God had to do it

00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:56.920
 for you.

00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:58.659
 And praise be to God.

00:13:59.419 --> 00:14:00.240
 He did.

00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:01.679
 He did.

00:14:01.819 --> 00:14:02.899
 2 Corinthians chapter 5

00:14:02.899 --> 00:14:03.979
 and verse 21.

00:14:04.699 --> 00:14:05.539
 For our sake,

00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:07.979
 God made Christ to be sin

00:14:07.979 --> 00:14:10.019
 who knew no sin

00:14:10.019 --> 00:14:11.539
 so that in Him

00:14:11.539 --> 00:14:12.559
 we might become

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:13.819
 the righteousness

00:14:13.819 --> 00:14:15.539
 of God.

00:14:15.939 --> 00:14:17.559
 There's that great exchange

00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:19.219
 in a single verse.

00:14:19.419 --> 00:14:21.319
 Double imputation.

00:14:22.139 --> 00:14:23.339
 Christ had to come

00:14:23.339 --> 00:14:23.839
 and accomplish

00:14:23.839 --> 00:14:25.919
 what we could not accomplish.

00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:27.979
 accomplish on our own.

00:14:28.319 --> 00:14:31.360
 God has done this.

00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:33.679
 We need to rest

00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:35.000
 in these truths.

00:14:35.620 --> 00:14:37.159
 We're going to get into it

00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:38.659
 towards the end of chapter 8

00:14:38.659 --> 00:14:40.659
 and on into chapter 9

00:14:40.659 --> 00:14:41.959
 and then wrestle

00:14:41.959 --> 00:14:43.059
 with the implications of it

00:14:43.059 --> 00:14:43.839
 in chapter 10

00:14:43.839 --> 00:14:45.379
 and chapter 11.

00:14:45.839 --> 00:14:47.019
 It is glorious

00:14:47.019 --> 00:14:47.959
 and it is beautiful

00:14:47.959 --> 00:14:49.179
 and it is true.

00:14:49.599 --> 00:14:51.519
 Doctrines always taught to us.

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:53.299
 High views of these

00:14:53.299 --> 00:14:54.379
 doctrines of grace

00:14:54.379 --> 00:14:55.919
 to give us a pillow

00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:57.139
 to rest our head on.

00:14:57.700 --> 00:14:59.360
 Not a rock to stumble over

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.580
 or to pick up and throw

00:15:00.580 --> 00:15:02.000
 at somebody else.

00:15:02.139 --> 00:15:02.419
 Right?

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:04.439
 It's meant for rest.

00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:04.980
 Right?

00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:06.360
 Remember where this started.

00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:07.939
 There is no condemnation

00:15:07.939 --> 00:15:08.559
 for those

00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:10.399
 who are in Christ Jesus.

00:15:10.779 --> 00:15:11.100
 Why?

00:15:11.539 --> 00:15:12.500
 Because God has done it.

00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:14.879
 Because God has done it.

00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:16.620
 you're going to fail

00:15:16.620 --> 00:15:17.240
 in your life.

00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:18.620
 You're going to sin

00:15:18.620 --> 00:15:19.379
 and you're going to want

00:15:19.379 --> 00:15:20.240
 to condemn yourself.

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.639
 But guess what God says

00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:22.220
 of you.

00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:23.120
 If you're in Christ

00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:25.039
 there's no condemnation

00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:26.080
 for you.

00:15:27.059 --> 00:15:28.299
 We just sang a song

00:15:28.299 --> 00:15:28.879
 together

00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:29.980
 that speaks to this

00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:30.659
 very truth.

00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:32.100
 And I don't know

00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:33.899
 maybe you're like me

00:15:33.899 --> 00:15:34.399
 sometimes

00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:35.399
 I sing a song

00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:36.600
 and I know the tune

00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:37.879
 and I know the words

00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:38.639
 and I just sing it

00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:39.460
 and I don't think

00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:40.220
 very much

00:15:40.220 --> 00:15:40.919
 about what

00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:42.159
 I'm singing.

00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:44.519
 I hope that's not true of you.

00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:45.279
 We don't sing

00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:46.179
 a ton of songs here

00:15:46.179 --> 00:15:47.419
 but we sing good

00:15:47.419 --> 00:15:48.480
 true

00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:49.779
 deep songs

00:15:49.779 --> 00:15:50.620
 together.

00:15:50.860 --> 00:15:51.159
 They are

00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:52.719
 carefully selected.

00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:54.459
 They're thoughtfully selected.

00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:56.559
 We sang a song

00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:57.539
 just before the offering

00:15:57.539 --> 00:15:58.360
 called Christ

00:15:58.360 --> 00:15:59.500
 the sure

00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:00.860
 and steady anchor.

00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:02.919
 Just listen to its words.

00:16:03.079 --> 00:16:03.759
 Just in case you weren't

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:04.500
 listening to it earlier

00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:05.899
 you might grab the hymnal

00:16:05.899 --> 00:16:06.480
 that's with you

00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.139
 and turn to hymn 406.

00:16:11.019 --> 00:16:11.459
 Christ

00:16:11.460 --> 00:16:12.019
 the sure

00:16:12.019 --> 00:16:12.840
 and steady anchor

00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:13.840
 in the fury

00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:15.300
 of the storm

00:16:15.300 --> 00:16:16.300
 when the winds

00:16:16.300 --> 00:16:17.320
 of doubt

00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:18.639
 blow through me

00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:20.500
 and my sails

00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:21.740
 have all been torn

00:16:21.740 --> 00:16:23.500
 and the suffering

00:16:23.500 --> 00:16:24.900
 in the sorrow

00:16:24.900 --> 00:16:26.500
 when my sinking

00:16:26.500 --> 00:16:27.480
 hopes

00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:28.960
 are few.

00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:30.900
 I will hold fast

00:16:30.900 --> 00:16:31.660
 to the anchor

00:16:31.660 --> 00:16:33.120
 it shall never

00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:34.360
 be removed.

00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:35.660
 And you might say

00:16:35.660 --> 00:16:36.120
 but look

00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:36.820
 but look Nathan

00:16:36.820 --> 00:16:37.220
 look

00:16:37.220 --> 00:16:38.400
 there's your work

00:16:38.400 --> 00:16:38.740
 in it

00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:39.820
 you're holding fast

00:16:39.820 --> 00:16:40.240
 to the anchor

00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:40.860
 what are we doing

00:16:40.860 --> 00:16:41.759
 what are we holding

00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:42.279
 on to?

00:16:43.340 --> 00:16:43.980
 Christ and his

00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:44.659
 completed work.

00:16:45.300 --> 00:16:46.220
 We're just remembering

00:16:46.220 --> 00:16:46.960
 that there's therefore

00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:47.860
 now no condemnation

00:16:47.860 --> 00:16:48.720
 for those who are in

00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.340
 Christ Jesus.

00:16:50.980 --> 00:16:51.800
 He did it.

00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:52.800
 He accomplished it.

00:16:52.800 --> 00:16:53.500
 We're simply

00:16:53.500 --> 00:16:55.159
 holding on to the truth

00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:56.000
 that it's

00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.300
 been done.

00:16:58.580 --> 00:16:58.899
 Verse 2

00:16:58.899 --> 00:17:00.919
 Christ the sure and steady anchor

00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:02.879
 while the tempest

00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:04.119
 rages on

00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:05.920
 when temptation

00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:07.460
 claims the battle

00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:08.400
 and it seems

00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:09.720
 the night has won

00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:11.799
 deeper still

00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:12.779
 then goes

00:17:12.779 --> 00:17:13.339
 the anchor

00:17:13.339 --> 00:17:14.660
 though I justly

00:17:14.660 --> 00:17:15.359
 stand

00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:16.740
 accused

00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:18.500
 I will hold fast

00:17:18.500 --> 00:17:19.059
 to the anchor

00:17:19.059 --> 00:17:20.420
 it shall never

00:17:20.420 --> 00:17:21.740
 be removed.

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:23.940
 Christ the sure

00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:24.700
 and steady anchor

00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:25.599
 through the floods

00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:26.920
 of unbelief

00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:28.080
 hopeless

00:17:28.080 --> 00:17:29.279
 somehow

00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:30.680
 oh my soul

00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:31.940
 now lift your eyes

00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:33.180
 to Calvary

00:17:33.180 --> 00:17:35.200
 this my ballast

00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:35.980
 of assurance

00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:37.660
 see his love

00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:39.160
 forever proved

00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:40.800
 I will hold fast

00:17:40.800 --> 00:17:41.519
 to the anchor

00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:42.980
 it shall never

00:17:42.980 --> 00:17:44.740
 be removed.

00:17:45.140 --> 00:17:46.160
 What Christ has done

00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:47.279
 what he accomplished

00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:49.200
 on Golgotha

00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:50.840
 Christ the sure

00:17:50.840 --> 00:17:51.580
 and steady anchor

00:17:51.580 --> 00:17:52.420
 as we face

00:17:52.420 --> 00:17:53.700
 the waves of death

00:17:53.700 --> 00:17:54.600
 when these trials

00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:55.539
 give way to glory

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:56.699
 as we draw

00:17:56.699 --> 00:17:58.079
 our final breath

00:17:58.079 --> 00:17:59.619
 we will cross

00:17:59.619 --> 00:18:00.659
 that great horizon

00:18:00.659 --> 00:18:01.859
 clouds behind

00:18:01.859 --> 00:18:02.740
 and life

00:18:02.740 --> 00:18:03.839
 secure

00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:05.079
 and the calm

00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:06.219
 will be the better

00:18:06.219 --> 00:18:07.219
 for the storms

00:18:07.219 --> 00:18:08.839
 that we endure.

00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:10.899
 Christ the sure

00:18:10.899 --> 00:18:11.819
 of our salvation

00:18:11.819 --> 00:18:12.819
 ever faithful

00:18:12.819 --> 00:18:14.240
 ever true

00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:16.139
 we will hold fast

00:18:16.139 --> 00:18:16.779
 to the anchor

00:18:16.779 --> 00:18:18.240
 it shall never

00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:19.879
 be removed.

00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:22.319
 God has done it

00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:24.059
 he's accomplished

00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:24.539
 the work

00:18:24.539 --> 00:18:25.819
 if you are in Christ

00:18:25.819 --> 00:18:26.559
 it's because

00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:27.919
 of him

00:18:27.919 --> 00:18:29.480
 he's sure

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:30.179
 to keep

00:18:30.179 --> 00:18:31.419
 his promises

00:18:31.419 --> 00:18:32.759
 to you

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:34.980
 and he did it

00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:35.619
 by sending

00:18:35.619 --> 00:18:36.980
 his own

00:18:36.980 --> 00:18:37.599
 son

00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:39.119
 in the likeness

00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:40.079
 of sinful

00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:41.079
 flesh

00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:42.139
 himself

00:18:42.139 --> 00:18:43.659
 not sinful

00:18:43.659 --> 00:18:44.460
 the implication

00:18:44.460 --> 00:18:45.319
 in that phrase

00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:45.839
 there is not

00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:46.500
 that he was

00:18:46.500 --> 00:18:47.319
 in fact sinful

00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.000
 like we are sinful

00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:49.859
 not

00:18:49.859 --> 00:18:51.419
 as our sinful

00:18:51.419 --> 00:18:51.679
 flesh

00:18:51.679 --> 00:18:52.479
 but like

00:18:52.479 --> 00:18:53.240
 our sinful

00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:53.879
 flesh

00:18:53.879 --> 00:18:55.899
 and for

00:18:55.899 --> 00:18:56.599
 sin

00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:57.299
 he condemned

00:18:57.299 --> 00:18:57.939
 sin

00:18:57.939 --> 00:18:58.619
 in

00:18:58.619 --> 00:19:00.019
 the flesh

00:19:00.019 --> 00:19:01.039
 he condemned

00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:01.939
 our sin

00:19:01.939 --> 00:19:02.839
 in the flesh

00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:04.279
 of Christ

00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:05.959
 and he condemned

00:19:05.959 --> 00:19:06.199
 it

00:19:06.199 --> 00:19:06.899
 so that there

00:19:06.899 --> 00:19:07.679
 would no longer

00:19:07.679 --> 00:19:08.539
 be condemnation

00:19:08.539 --> 00:19:09.379
 for those

00:19:09.379 --> 00:19:10.500
 who are in

00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:11.199
 Christ Jesus

00:19:11.199 --> 00:19:12.679
 how are we

00:19:12.679 --> 00:19:13.479
 in Christ Jesus

00:19:13.479 --> 00:19:14.939
 by grace

00:19:14.939 --> 00:19:15.299
 alone

00:19:15.299 --> 00:19:16.740
 through faith

00:19:16.740 --> 00:19:17.139
 alone

00:19:17.139 --> 00:19:18.539
 in Christ

00:19:18.539 --> 00:19:18.899
 alone

00:19:18.900 --> 00:19:20.980
 oh the rest

00:19:20.980 --> 00:19:22.380
 oh the peace

00:19:22.380 --> 00:19:24.340
 oh the joy

00:19:24.340 --> 00:19:25.360
 when we lay down

00:19:25.360 --> 00:19:26.040
 our striving

00:19:26.040 --> 00:19:27.100
 and accept the reality

00:19:27.100 --> 00:19:27.920
 that we cannot

00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:29.000
 save ourselves

00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:30.440
 but have a God

00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:31.259
 who is gracious

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:32.880
 and merciful

00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.600
 slow to anger

00:19:34.600 --> 00:19:35.519
 and abounding

00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:37.320
 in steadfast love

00:19:37.320 --> 00:19:38.420
 that's Psalm

00:19:38.420 --> 00:19:39.740
 145

00:19:39.740 --> 00:19:40.740
 and verse 8

00:19:40.740 --> 00:19:42.700
 to be in Christ

00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:43.320
 Jesus means

00:19:43.320 --> 00:19:44.060
 that we receive

00:19:44.060 --> 00:19:45.200
 all the benefits

00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:46.180
 that he has purchased

00:19:46.180 --> 00:19:47.920
 and also that he has

00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:49.460
 taken all the curse

00:19:49.460 --> 00:19:50.120
 that we

00:19:50.120 --> 00:19:51.320
 have purchased

00:19:51.320 --> 00:19:53.620
 herein we see

00:19:53.620 --> 00:19:54.980
 the doctrine

00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:56.180
 of penal

00:19:56.180 --> 00:19:57.519
 substitutionary

00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:58.660
 atonement

00:19:58.660 --> 00:20:00.060
 and I have said to you

00:20:00.060 --> 00:20:00.700
 and I will continue

00:20:00.700 --> 00:20:01.259
 to say to you

00:20:01.259 --> 00:20:02.160
 you lose this doctrine

00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:02.740
 you lose

00:20:02.740 --> 00:20:03.779
 the gospel

00:20:03.779 --> 00:20:05.279
 Christ took

00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:06.580
 our penalty

00:20:06.580 --> 00:20:07.860
 in our

00:20:07.860 --> 00:20:09.000
 place

00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:09.900
 and therefore

00:20:09.900 --> 00:20:11.300
 made peace

00:20:11.300 --> 00:20:12.740
 with God

00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:14.840
 John Owen

00:20:14.840 --> 00:20:15.480
 in his work

00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:16.420
 the death of death

00:20:16.420 --> 00:20:17.140
 in the death

00:20:17.140 --> 00:20:18.240
 of Christ

00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:18.819
 which you may have

00:20:18.819 --> 00:20:19.360
 heard referenced

00:20:19.360 --> 00:20:20.099
 in verse 3

00:20:20.099 --> 00:20:21.559
 of that last song

00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:22.940
 that we sang together

00:20:22.940 --> 00:20:24.640
 written by Matt Boswell

00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:25.319
 and Matt Papa

00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:26.779
 the Mats are reading

00:20:26.779 --> 00:20:27.720
 Owen I do believe

00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:29.279
 he said this

00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:29.660
 quote

00:20:29.660 --> 00:20:30.299
 the death

00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:31.180
 and blood shedding

00:20:31.180 --> 00:20:32.099
 of Jesus Christ

00:20:32.099 --> 00:20:33.180
 hath wrought

00:20:33.180 --> 00:20:33.640
 and doth

00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:34.839
 effectually procure

00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:35.839
 for all those

00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:36.599
 that are concerned

00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:37.140
 in it

00:20:37.140 --> 00:20:38.299
 eternal redemption

00:20:38.299 --> 00:20:39.980
 consisting in grace

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:40.440
 here

00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:41.660
 and glory

00:20:41.660 --> 00:20:43.019
 hereafter

00:20:43.019 --> 00:20:44.559
 if you want

00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:45.779
 the Nathan

00:20:45.779 --> 00:20:46.639
 simple English

00:20:46.639 --> 00:20:47.220
 of that

00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:48.960
 Christ's work

00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:49.779
 accomplished

00:20:49.779 --> 00:20:51.680
 our salvation

00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:52.740
 right

00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:54.480
 so that's

00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:54.940
 justification

00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:55.740
 that we see

00:20:55.740 --> 00:20:56.539
 here in the text

00:20:56.539 --> 00:20:57.680
 but we also

00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:58.359
 see

00:20:58.359 --> 00:20:59.700
 sanctification

00:20:59.700 --> 00:21:00.799
 in the text

00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:01.879
 and a proper

00:21:01.879 --> 00:21:02.579
 view of

00:21:02.579 --> 00:21:03.359
 sanctification

00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:04.359
 is often called

00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:05.339
 progressive

00:21:05.339 --> 00:21:06.299
 sanctification

00:21:06.299 --> 00:21:07.299
 and we always

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:08.220
 hate to have to

00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:09.279
 modify words

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:09.960
 like this

00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:10.500
 but there are

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:10.980
 a lot of

00:21:10.980 --> 00:21:11.920
 erroneous views

00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:12.799
 of sanctification

00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:13.700
 out there

00:21:13.700 --> 00:21:14.779
 but the doctrine

00:21:14.779 --> 00:21:15.399
 of progressive

00:21:15.399 --> 00:21:16.139
 sanctification

00:21:16.139 --> 00:21:16.919
 simply means

00:21:16.919 --> 00:21:17.339
 that once

00:21:17.339 --> 00:21:17.740
 we've been

00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:18.279
 saved

00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:19.220
 we will

00:21:19.220 --> 00:21:20.119
 progress

00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:21.680
 bit by bit

00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:22.519
 towards

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.700
 Christ likeness

00:21:23.700 --> 00:21:25.059
 this doesn't

00:21:25.059 --> 00:21:25.419
 happen with

00:21:25.419 --> 00:21:25.879
 perfection

00:21:25.879 --> 00:21:26.579
 it's an up

00:21:26.579 --> 00:21:27.139
 and a down

00:21:27.139 --> 00:21:27.859
 but we will

00:21:27.859 --> 00:21:29.039
 be moving

00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:30.500
 toward holiness

00:21:30.500 --> 00:21:31.599
 so my second

00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:32.259
 question is

00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:33.379
 why have we

00:21:33.379 --> 00:21:34.259
 been set free

00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:35.259
 in Christ

00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:35.879
 Jesus

00:21:35.879 --> 00:21:36.519
 and it's

00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:37.119
 so that

00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:38.519
 we might

00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:38.779
 be

00:21:38.779 --> 00:21:39.759
 sanctified

00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:41.859
 justification

00:21:41.859 --> 00:21:42.079
 sanctification

00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:43.319
 necessarily

00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:44.779
 leads to

00:21:44.779 --> 00:21:46.039
 sanctification

00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:46.539
 it

00:21:46.539 --> 00:21:47.419
 guarantees

00:21:47.419 --> 00:21:47.919
 it

00:21:47.919 --> 00:21:48.879
 God has

00:21:48.879 --> 00:21:49.879
 began this

00:21:49.879 --> 00:21:50.259
 work

00:21:50.259 --> 00:21:51.399
 he started

00:21:51.399 --> 00:21:51.919
 it and he

00:21:51.919 --> 00:21:52.979
 will bring

00:21:52.979 --> 00:21:53.740
 it to

00:21:53.740 --> 00:21:55.099
 completion

00:21:55.099 --> 00:21:56.879
 we must

00:21:56.879 --> 00:21:57.740
 be continually

00:21:57.740 --> 00:21:59.019
 clear on the

00:21:59.019 --> 00:21:59.500
 relationship

00:21:59.500 --> 00:22:00.119
 between the

00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:00.439
 law

00:22:00.439 --> 00:22:01.399
 and the

00:22:01.399 --> 00:22:01.799
 gospel

00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:02.399
 this gets

00:22:02.399 --> 00:22:03.279
 confused

00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:04.259
 often in

00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:04.779
 people's

00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:05.299
 thinking

00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:06.019
 what is the

00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:06.679
 relationship

00:22:06.679 --> 00:22:07.219
 between the

00:22:07.219 --> 00:22:07.519
 law

00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:09.420
 and the

00:22:09.420 --> 00:22:09.859
 gospel

00:22:09.859 --> 00:22:11.480
 the law

00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:12.240
 helps us

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:13.220
 to see

00:22:13.220 --> 00:22:13.859
 our sin

00:22:13.859 --> 00:22:14.819
 perhaps

00:22:14.819 --> 00:22:15.220
 helps

00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:15.920
 produce it

00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:16.420
 in us

00:22:16.420 --> 00:22:16.900
 Paul

00:22:16.900 --> 00:22:17.720
 makes the

00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:18.099
 case

00:22:18.099 --> 00:22:19.440
 it

00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:20.480
 condemns

00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:20.940
 us

00:22:20.940 --> 00:22:21.519
 in our

00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:22.039
 sin

00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:23.960
 aiming at

00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:24.839
 Christ

00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:25.599
 taking us

00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:26.059
 to

00:22:26.059 --> 00:22:26.900
 the

00:22:26.900 --> 00:22:27.259
 gospel

00:22:27.259 --> 00:22:28.559
 the gospel

00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:29.460
 sets us

00:22:29.460 --> 00:22:30.039
 free from

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:30.799
 the condemnation

00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:31.400
 that the

00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:32.420
 law brings

00:22:32.420 --> 00:22:33.160
 and

00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:33.799
 sets us

00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:34.180
 free

00:22:34.180 --> 00:22:35.319
 to obey

00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:35.599
 it

00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:37.259
 so the

00:22:37.259 --> 00:22:37.439
 law

00:22:37.439 --> 00:22:37.599
 doesn't

00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:37.899
 get done

00:22:37.899 --> 00:22:38.339
 away

00:22:38.339 --> 00:22:38.599
 with

00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:39.199
 altogether

00:22:39.199 --> 00:22:40.119
 it now

00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:40.740
 comes

00:22:40.740 --> 00:22:41.359
 as an

00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:42.199
 instructive

00:22:42.199 --> 00:22:42.819
 helper

00:22:42.819 --> 00:22:43.779
 to us

00:22:43.779 --> 00:22:44.659
 it's still

00:22:44.659 --> 00:22:45.319
 good

00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:45.839
 for

00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:46.699
 our

00:22:46.699 --> 00:22:47.019
 living

00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:48.919
 perhaps

00:22:48.919 --> 00:22:49.939
 those who

00:22:49.939 --> 00:22:50.219
 have gone

00:22:50.219 --> 00:22:50.819
 before us

00:22:50.819 --> 00:22:51.740
 can help

00:22:51.740 --> 00:22:52.079
 us

00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:53.299
 at this

00:22:53.299 --> 00:22:53.659
 point

00:22:53.659 --> 00:22:54.799
 we've been

00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:55.219
 reciting

00:22:55.219 --> 00:22:55.639

00:22:57.839 --> 00:22:59.039

 helpful

00:23:00.819 --> 00:23:01.599

00:27:50.059 --> 00:27:50.539
 but

00:27:50.539 --> 00:27:50.640
 I

00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:50.779
 go

00:27:50.779 --> 00:27:50.900
 and

00:27:50.900 --> 00:27:51.099
 use

00:27:51.099 --> 00:27:51.299
 my

00:27:51.299 --> 00:27:51.839
 tools

00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:52.359
 and

00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:52.539
 I

00:27:52.539 --> 00:27:53.160
 look

00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:53.299
 at

00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:53.500
 it

00:27:53.500 --> 00:27:54.660
 it's

00:27:54.660 --> 00:27:54.779
 a

00:27:54.779 --> 00:27:55.059
 single

00:27:55.059 --> 00:27:55.359
 Greek

00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:55.619
 word

00:27:55.619 --> 00:27:55.940
 might

00:27:55.940 --> 00:27:56.200
 be

00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:56.660
 fulfilled

00:27:56.660 --> 00:27:56.980
 and

00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:57.160
 I

00:27:57.160 --> 00:27:57.460
 go

00:27:57.460 --> 00:27:58.000
 oof

00:27:58.000 --> 00:27:58.720
 I

00:27:58.720 --> 00:27:58.900
 don't

00:27:58.900 --> 00:27:59.099
 know

00:27:59.099 --> 00:27:59.279
 if

00:27:59.279 --> 00:27:59.619
 that's

00:27:59.619 --> 00:27:59.759
 the

00:27:59.759 --> 00:27:59.980
 best

00:27:59.980 --> 00:28:00.140
 way

00:28:00.140 --> 00:28:00.259
 to

00:28:00.259 --> 00:28:00.599
 translate

00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:00.859
 this

00:28:00.859 --> 00:28:01.019
 but

00:28:01.019 --> 00:28:01.119
 I

00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:01.339
 also

00:28:01.339 --> 00:28:01.519
 have

00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:01.819
 no

00:28:01.819 --> 00:28:02.099
 idea

00:28:02.099 --> 00:28:02.279
 how

00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:02.420
 I

00:28:02.420 --> 00:28:02.539
 would

00:28:02.539 --> 00:28:02.880
 translate

00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:03.119
 it

00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:03.119


00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:03.799
 it's

00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:04.000
 a

00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:04.440
 very

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:05.319
 interesting

00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:06.779
 word

00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:08.279
 the word

00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:08.779
 means

00:28:08.779 --> 00:28:09.220
 to

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:10.259
 and I

00:28:10.259 --> 00:28:10.579
 quote

00:28:10.579 --> 00:28:11.679
 to be

00:28:11.679 --> 00:28:12.519
 or become

00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:13.460
 satisfied

00:28:13.460 --> 00:28:14.519
 concerning

00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:15.099
 the

00:28:15.099 --> 00:28:15.779
 requirements

00:28:15.779 --> 00:28:16.159
 or

00:28:16.159 --> 00:28:16.980
 expectations

00:28:16.980 --> 00:28:18.159
 of a

00:28:18.159 --> 00:28:18.639
 contract

00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:20.100
 I

00:28:20.100 --> 00:28:20.220
 don't

00:28:20.220 --> 00:28:20.320
 know

00:28:20.320 --> 00:28:20.460
 how

00:28:20.460 --> 00:28:20.600
 you

00:28:20.600 --> 00:28:20.720
 would

00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:20.920
 make

00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:21.120
 that

00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:21.500
 flow

00:28:21.500 --> 00:28:21.780
 in

00:28:21.780 --> 00:28:22.180
 the

 middle

00:28:22.360 --> 00:28:22.759
 of

 that

00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:23.580
 verse

00:28:23.580 --> 00:28:23.820
 but

00:28:23.820 --> 00:28:24.140
 what I

00:28:24.140 --> 00:28:24.220
 can

00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:24.340
 tell

00:28:24.340 --> 00:28:24.440
 you

00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:24.800
 this

00:28:24.800 --> 00:28:26.420
 contextually

00:28:26.420 --> 00:28:27.220
 Paul is

00:28:27.220 --> 00:28:27.780
 communicating

00:28:27.780 --> 00:28:28.820
 that because

00:28:28.820 --> 00:28:29.980
 of Christ's

00:28:29.980 --> 00:28:30.600
 satisfaction

00:28:30.600 --> 00:28:31.300
 of the

00:28:31.300 --> 00:28:31.620
 law

00:28:31.620 --> 00:28:33.020
 the

00:28:33.020 --> 00:28:33.540
 righteous

00:28:33.540 --> 00:28:34.040
 requirement

00:28:34.040 --> 00:28:34.380
 of the

00:28:34.380 --> 00:28:34.640
 law

00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:34.860
 the

00:28:34.860 --> 00:28:35.660
 possibility

00:28:35.660 --> 00:28:36.140
 of our

00:28:36.140 --> 00:28:36.640
 fulfillment

00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:37.100
 of the

00:28:37.100 --> 00:28:37.640
 contract

00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:38.440
 exists

00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:40.660
 and

00:28:40.660 --> 00:28:40.860
 we

00:28:40.860 --> 00:28:41.000
 will

00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:41.280
 see

00:28:41.280 --> 00:28:41.560
 as we

00:28:41.560 --> 00:28:41.900
 continue

00:28:41.900 --> 00:28:42.140
 to

00:28:42.140 --> 00:28:42.420
 study

00:28:42.420 --> 00:28:42.740
 the

00:28:42.740 --> 00:28:43.100
 chapter

00:28:43.100 --> 00:28:44.040
 that

00:28:44.040 --> 00:28:44.300
 God

00:28:44.300 --> 00:28:44.460
 will

00:28:44.460 --> 00:28:45.180
 graciously

00:28:45.180 --> 00:28:45.600
 work

00:28:45.600 --> 00:28:45.720
 in

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:45.900
 us

00:28:45.900 --> 00:28:46.080
 to

00:28:46.080 --> 00:28:46.440
 bring

00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:46.900
 about

00:28:46.900 --> 00:28:47.460
 its

00:28:47.460 --> 00:28:48.500
 completion

00:28:48.500 --> 00:28:49.819
 we

00:28:49.819 --> 00:28:50.700
 will

00:28:50.700 --> 00:28:51.099
 fulfill

00:28:51.099 --> 00:28:51.259
 the

00:28:51.259 --> 00:28:51.480
 righteous

00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:51.819
 requirement

00:28:51.819 --> 00:28:52.019
 of the

00:28:52.019 --> 00:28:52.220
 law

00:28:52.220 --> 00:28:52.480
 when

00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:52.640
 we

00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:52.799
 are

00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:53.559
 fully

00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:53.880
 and

00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:54.599
 finally

00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:56.200
 sanctified

00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:56.880
 at a

00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:57.480
 point

00:28:57.480 --> 00:28:58.079
 in our

00:28:58.079 --> 00:28:58.480
 history

00:28:58.480 --> 00:28:58.839
 that we

00:28:58.839 --> 00:28:59.440
 call

00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:00.900
 glorification

00:29:00.900 --> 00:29:01.980
 we're

00:29:01.980 --> 00:29:02.180
 going to

00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:02.579
 get there

00:29:02.579 --> 00:29:02.839
 and we're

00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:03.019
 going to

00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:03.460
 wring all

00:29:03.460 --> 00:29:03.740
 of that

00:29:03.740 --> 00:29:03.960
 out

00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:04.140
 I

00:29:04.140 --> 00:29:04.480
 promise

00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:04.839
 and I'll

00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:05.119
 reference

00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:05.799
 back to

00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:06.660
 verse 4

00:29:06.660 --> 00:29:07.720
 as we

00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:08.299
 do so

00:29:08.299 --> 00:29:09.019
 so

00:29:09.019 --> 00:29:09.539
 here it

00:29:09.539 --> 00:29:09.660
 is

00:29:09.660 --> 00:29:09.759
 it

00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:10.140
 exists

00:29:10.140 --> 00:29:10.460
 and

00:29:10.460 --> 00:29:10.779
 God

00:29:10.779 --> 00:29:10.920
 is

00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:11.160
 going

00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:11.400
 to

00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:11.940
 make

00:29:11.940 --> 00:29:12.180
 it

00:29:12.180 --> 00:29:12.880
 happen

00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:13.579
 in

00:29:13.579 --> 00:29:13.720
 our

00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:14.079
 lives

00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:14.779
 again

00:29:14.779 --> 00:29:15.200
 if

00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:15.359
 we're

00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:15.819
 justified

00:29:15.819 --> 00:29:16.599
 this

00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:17.799
 necessarily

00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:19.159
 leads

00:29:19.159 --> 00:29:20.059
 to

00:29:20.059 --> 00:29:20.799
 sanctification

00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:22.339
 if

00:29:22.339 --> 00:29:22.500
 you

00:29:22.500 --> 00:29:22.839
 are

00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:23.039
 in

00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:23.539
 Christ

00:29:23.539 --> 00:29:23.839
 then

00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:24.000
 you

00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:24.399
 walk

00:29:24.399 --> 00:29:24.839
 not

00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:25.159
 according

00:29:25.159 --> 00:29:25.339
 to

00:29:25.339 --> 00:29:25.460
 the

00:29:25.460 --> 00:29:25.839
 flesh

00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:26.720
 but

00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:27.259
 according

00:29:27.259 --> 00:29:28.139
 to

00:29:28.139 --> 00:29:28.299
 the

00:29:28.299 --> 00:29:28.599
 spirit

00:29:28.599 --> 00:29:28.799
 and

00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:28.940
 this

00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:29.240
 idea

00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:29.440
 of

00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:29.879
 walking

00:29:29.879 --> 00:29:30.319
 refers

00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:30.559
 to

00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:30.779
 the

00:29:30.779 --> 00:29:31.460
 habitual

00:29:31.460 --> 00:29:32.159
 pattern

00:29:32.159 --> 00:29:32.740
 of

00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:32.859
 our

00:29:32.859 --> 00:29:33.240
 life

00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:33.940
 what

00:29:33.940 --> 00:29:34.059
 will

00:29:34.059 --> 00:29:34.240
 be

00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:34.740
 generally

00:29:34.740 --> 00:29:35.200
 true

00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:35.500
 of

00:29:35.500 --> 00:29:36.059
 us

00:29:36.059 --> 00:29:36.680
 is

00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:36.799
 that

00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:36.919
 we're

00:29:36.919 --> 00:29:37.079
 going

00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:37.259
 to

00:29:37.259 --> 00:29:37.519
 live

00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:37.720
 our

00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:38.299
 lives

00:29:38.299 --> 00:29:38.759
 in

00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:38.899
 the

00:29:38.899 --> 00:29:39.299
 power

00:29:39.299 --> 00:29:39.980
 of

00:29:39.980 --> 00:29:40.119
 the

00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:40.440
 spirit

00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:40.740
 and

00:29:40.740 --> 00:29:41.159
 not

00:29:41.159 --> 00:29:41.599

00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:43.819
 flesh

00:29:43.819 --> 00:29:45.279
 so

00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:46.039
 if

00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:46.240
 you

00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:46.460
 are

00:29:46.460 --> 00:29:46.639
 in

00:29:46.639 --> 00:29:47.139
 Christ

00:29:47.139 --> 00:29:47.740
 you

00:29:47.740 --> 00:29:48.720
 walk

00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:49.079
 according

00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:49.460
 to

00:29:49.460 --> 00:29:50.539
 the

00:29:50.539 --> 00:29:50.819
 spirit

00:29:50.819 --> 00:29:51.799
 and

00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:51.899
 in

00:29:51.899 --> 00:29:52.000
 the

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:52.159
 coming

00:29:52.159 --> 00:29:52.419
 weeks

00:29:52.419 --> 00:29:52.559
 we

00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:52.679
 will

00:29:52.679 --> 00:29:53.039
 study

00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:53.200
 what

00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:53.319
 it

00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:53.639
 means

00:29:53.639 --> 00:29:53.839
 to

00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:54.119
 walk

00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:54.419
 according

00:29:54.419 --> 00:29:54.619
 to

00:29:54.619 --> 00:29:54.779
 the

00:29:54.779 --> 00:29:55.019
 spirit

00:29:55.019 --> 00:29:55.200
 this

00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:55.299
 is

00:29:55.299 --> 00:29:55.599
 exactly

00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:55.859
 where

00:29:55.859 --> 00:29:56.339
 Paul

00:29:56.339 --> 00:29:56.439
 is

00:29:56.439 --> 00:29:56.700
 going

00:29:56.700 --> 00:29:56.980
 he's

00:29:56.980 --> 00:29:57.579
 setting

00:29:57.579 --> 00:29:57.960
 up

00:29:57.960 --> 00:29:58.460
 his

00:29:58.460 --> 00:29:58.960
 case

00:29:58.960 --> 00:29:59.139
 for

00:29:59.139 --> 00:29:59.279
 what

00:29:59.279 --> 00:29:59.439
 it

00:29:59.439 --> 00:29:59.779
 looks

00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:00.079
 like

00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:00.279
 to

00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:00.740
 walk

00:30:00.740 --> 00:30:01.779
 according

00:30:01.779 --> 00:30:02.559
 to

00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:02.720

00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:03.019
 spirit

00:30:03.019 --> 00:30:03.319
 but

00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:03.819
 I

00:30:03.819 --> 00:30:03.980
 want

00:30:03.980 --> 00:30:04.139
 to

00:30:04.139 --> 00:30:04.659
 conclude

00:30:04.659 --> 00:30:05.000
 our

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:05.679
 time

00:30:05.679 --> 00:30:06.000
 today

00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:06.240
 by

00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:17.740
 Spirit

00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:18.659

 Paul

00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:11.199
 calls

 Christ

00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:25.539
 some

00:31:25.539 --> 00:31:25.759
 months

00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:26.059
 ago

00:31:26.059 --> 00:31:27.319
 many of

00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:27.779
 you probably

00:31:27.779 --> 00:31:28.039
 weren't

00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:28.259
 here

00:31:28.259 --> 00:31:29.740
 we were

00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:30.220
 having the

00:31:30.220 --> 00:31:30.460
 Lord's

00:31:30.460 --> 00:31:30.599
 Supper

00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:31.000
 together

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:31.819
 and at

00:31:31.819 --> 00:31:31.939
 the

00:31:31.939 --> 00:31:32.319
 conclusion

00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:32.599
 of a

00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:32.939
 song

00:31:32.939 --> 00:31:34.779
 a lady

00:31:34.779 --> 00:31:35.079
 broke

00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:35.639
 out into

00:31:35.639 --> 00:31:36.579
 unintelligible

00:31:36.579 --> 00:31:37.339
 language in the

00:31:37.339 --> 00:31:37.740
 back corner

00:31:37.740 --> 00:31:38.079
 of this

00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:38.380
 room

00:31:38.380 --> 00:31:40.259
 and would

00:31:40.259 --> 00:31:40.480
 not

00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:40.940
 stop

00:31:40.940 --> 00:31:42.539
 and I

00:31:42.539 --> 00:31:42.799
 asked her

00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:43.180
 to stop

00:31:43.180 --> 00:31:43.980
 I told her

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:44.380
 it wasn't her

00:31:44.380 --> 00:31:44.700
 turn to

00:31:44.700 --> 00:31:45.000
 speak

00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:45.740
 a couple

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:46.220
 of times

00:31:46.220 --> 00:31:46.839
 and some

00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:47.140
 guys

00:31:47.140 --> 00:31:48.539
 very kindly

00:31:48.539 --> 00:31:49.620
 escorted her

00:31:49.620 --> 00:31:50.420
 out of the

00:31:50.420 --> 00:31:50.720
 room

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:52.180
 very kindly

00:31:52.180 --> 00:31:53.240
 spoke to

00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:53.460
 her

00:31:53.460 --> 00:31:54.079
 she was

00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:54.480
 furious

00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:55.220
 we were

00:31:55.220 --> 00:31:55.559
 quenching

00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:56.059
 the spirit

00:31:56.059 --> 00:31:56.599
 she couldn't

00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:57.019
 believe it

00:31:57.019 --> 00:31:57.579
 she left

00:31:57.579 --> 00:31:58.480
 we've never

00:31:58.480 --> 00:31:58.960
 seen her

00:31:58.960 --> 00:31:59.819
 again

00:31:59.819 --> 00:32:00.900
 and some

00:32:00.900 --> 00:32:01.359
 people ask

00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:01.539
 me

00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:01.779
 just

00:32:01.779 --> 00:32:03.099
 honest

00:32:03.099 --> 00:32:04.400
 you know

00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:05.039
 well intended

00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:05.599
 question

00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:06.759
 should you

00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:07.460
 have asked

00:32:07.460 --> 00:32:08.620
 for an

00:32:08.620 --> 00:32:09.059
 interpretation

00:32:09.059 --> 00:32:10.440
 and I

00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:10.940
 said no

00:32:10.940 --> 00:32:11.799
 because I

00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:12.079
 can tell

00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:12.620
 you that

00:32:12.620 --> 00:32:13.100
 was not

00:32:13.100 --> 00:32:13.740
 the spirit

00:32:13.740 --> 00:32:14.660
 of Christ

00:32:14.660 --> 00:32:15.860
 why do I

00:32:15.860 --> 00:32:16.400
 know this

00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:17.559
 because we

00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:18.059
 were in the

00:32:18.059 --> 00:32:19.059
 middle of

00:32:19.059 --> 00:32:19.840
 taking the

00:32:19.840 --> 00:32:20.220
 Lord's

00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:20.680
 supper which

00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:21.160
 is all

00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:21.640
 about the

00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:22.519
 magnification

00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:23.180
 of Christ

00:32:23.180 --> 00:32:24.400
 the spirit

00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:24.799
 of Christ

00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:25.240
 was in

00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:26.039
 this room

00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:26.840
 doing a

00:32:26.840 --> 00:32:27.279
 work in

00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:27.819
 our hearts

00:32:27.819 --> 00:32:28.160
 as we

00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:28.759
 sang true

00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:29.220
 songs

00:32:29.220 --> 00:32:29.759
 as we

00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:30.160
 had the

00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:30.600
 elements

00:32:30.600 --> 00:32:31.039
 as we

00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:31.519
 were thinking

00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:32.000
 together

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:32.539
 about the

00:32:32.539 --> 00:32:32.980
 sacrificial

00:32:32.980 --> 00:32:33.400
 work of

00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:33.880
 Jesus Christ

00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:34.100
 on our

00:32:34.100 --> 00:32:34.279
 behalf

00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:34.920
 the spirit

00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:35.539
 was doing

00:32:35.539 --> 00:32:36.100
 a work

00:32:36.099 --> 00:32:36.619
 in here

00:32:36.619 --> 00:32:37.579
 but not

00:32:37.579 --> 00:32:39.179
 in her

00:32:39.179 --> 00:32:41.000
 and we

00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:41.199
 can just

00:32:41.199 --> 00:32:41.599
 be sure

00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:42.299
 of that

00:32:42.299 --> 00:32:42.740
 why

00:32:42.740 --> 00:32:43.919
 because the

00:32:43.919 --> 00:32:44.359
 spirit

00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:45.759
 magnifies

00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:46.539
 Christ

00:32:46.539 --> 00:32:46.919
 does not

00:32:46.919 --> 00:32:47.839
 distract

00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:48.699
 the spirit

00:32:48.699 --> 00:32:49.199
 never says

00:32:49.199 --> 00:32:49.559
 hey look

00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:49.980
 at me

00:32:49.980 --> 00:32:51.099
 I'm that

00:32:51.099 --> 00:32:51.659
 poor pitiful

00:32:51.659 --> 00:32:52.339
 part of the

00:32:52.339 --> 00:32:52.879
 trinity that

00:32:52.879 --> 00:32:53.319
 you don't pay

00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:53.799
 much attention

00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:54.159
 to

00:32:54.159 --> 00:32:55.619
 not at all

00:32:55.619 --> 00:32:57.240
 not at all

00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:58.639
 listen to

00:32:58.639 --> 00:32:59.419
 martin lloy jones

00:32:59.419 --> 00:33:00.519
 speak of

00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:01.039
 the spirit

00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:01.399
 he says

00:33:01.399 --> 00:33:01.899
 the spirit

00:33:01.899 --> 00:33:02.539
 does not

00:33:02.539 --> 00:33:03.419
 glorify

00:33:03.420 --> 00:33:04.080
 himself

00:33:04.080 --> 00:33:05.420
 he glorifies

00:33:05.420 --> 00:33:06.560
 the son

00:33:06.560 --> 00:33:07.720
 this is to

00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:08.039
 me one of

00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:08.279
 the most

00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:09.039
 amazing and

00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:09.440
 remarkable

00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:10.080
 things about

00:33:10.080 --> 00:33:10.539
 the biblical

00:33:10.539 --> 00:33:11.360
 doctrine of

00:33:11.360 --> 00:33:11.680
 the holy

00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:12.140
 spirit

00:33:12.140 --> 00:33:13.100
 the holy

00:33:13.100 --> 00:33:13.360
 spirit

00:33:13.360 --> 00:33:13.840
 seems to

00:33:13.840 --> 00:33:14.519
 hide himself

00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:14.960
 and to

00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:15.360
 conceal

00:33:15.360 --> 00:33:15.920
 himself

00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:16.820
 he is

00:33:16.820 --> 00:33:17.400
 always as

00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:17.800
 it were

00:33:17.800 --> 00:33:18.360
 putting the

00:33:18.360 --> 00:33:19.320
 focus on

00:33:19.320 --> 00:33:20.220
 the son

00:33:20.220 --> 00:33:20.700
 and that is

00:33:20.700 --> 00:33:21.039
 why I

00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:21.480
 believe

00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:22.120
 and I

00:33:22.120 --> 00:33:22.500
 believe

00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:23.180
 profoundly

00:33:23.180 --> 00:33:23.900
 that the

00:33:23.900 --> 00:33:24.539
 best test

00:33:24.539 --> 00:33:25.019
 of all

00:33:25.019 --> 00:33:25.360
 as to

00:33:25.360 --> 00:33:25.779
 whether we

00:33:25.779 --> 00:33:26.519
 have received

00:33:26.519 --> 00:33:27.019
 the spirit

00:33:27.019 --> 00:33:27.340
 is to

00:33:27.340 --> 00:33:27.680
 ask

00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:28.240
 ourselves

00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:29.160
 what do

00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:29.660
 we think

00:33:29.660 --> 00:33:30.100
 of and

00:33:30.100 --> 00:33:30.440
 what do

00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:31.019
 we know

00:33:31.019 --> 00:33:31.580
 about

00:33:31.580 --> 00:33:32.740
 the son

00:33:32.740 --> 00:33:34.400
 is the

00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:34.839
 son real

00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:35.380
 to us

00:33:35.380 --> 00:33:36.339
 that is

00:33:36.339 --> 00:33:36.720
 the working

00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:37.059
 of the

00:33:37.059 --> 00:33:37.460
 spirit

00:33:37.460 --> 00:33:38.599
 and let

00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:39.120
 me pause

00:33:39.120 --> 00:33:39.680
 and that's

00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:40.299
 a miraculous

00:33:40.299 --> 00:33:40.900
 thing

00:33:40.900 --> 00:33:41.720
 when people

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:42.019
 come to

00:33:42.019 --> 00:33:42.519
 faith in

00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:42.740
 Jesus

00:33:42.740 --> 00:33:43.200
 Christ

00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:43.740
 they're

00:33:43.740 --> 00:33:44.259
 going from

00:33:44.259 --> 00:33:44.680
 spiritual

00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:45.220
 death

00:33:45.220 --> 00:33:45.480
 to

00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:45.940
 spiritual

00:33:45.940 --> 00:33:46.759
 life

00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:47.579
 how

00:33:47.579 --> 00:33:48.720
 amazing

00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:49.680
 need we

00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:50.240
 look further

00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:51.059
 for miracles

00:33:51.059 --> 00:33:52.980
 again back

00:33:52.980 --> 00:33:53.160
 to the

00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:53.539
 quotation

00:33:53.539 --> 00:33:53.980
 he is

00:33:53.980 --> 00:33:55.299
 glorified

00:33:55.299 --> 00:33:56.319
 indirectly

00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:57.319
 he is

00:33:57.319 --> 00:33:57.920
 always pointing

00:33:57.920 --> 00:33:58.440
 us to

00:33:58.440 --> 00:33:58.900
 the son

00:33:58.900 --> 00:33:59.880
 and so

00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:00.259
 you see

00:34:00.259 --> 00:34:00.900
 how easily

00:34:00.900 --> 00:34:01.279
 we go

00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:01.759
 astray

00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:02.140
 and become

00:34:02.140 --> 00:34:02.640
 heretical

00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:03.000
 if we

00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:03.460
 concentrate

00:34:03.460 --> 00:34:04.380
 over much

00:34:04.380 --> 00:34:04.700
 and in

00:34:04.700 --> 00:34:05.420
 an unscriptural

00:34:05.420 --> 00:34:05.780
 manner

00:34:05.780 --> 00:34:06.220
 upon the

00:34:06.220 --> 00:34:06.620
 spirit

00:34:06.620 --> 00:34:07.580
 himself

00:34:07.580 --> 00:34:08.960
 yes

00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:09.260
 we must

00:34:09.260 --> 00:34:09.640
 realize

00:34:09.640 --> 00:34:09.920
 that he

00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:10.300
 dwells

00:34:10.300 --> 00:34:10.940
 within us

00:34:10.940 --> 00:34:12.220
 but his

00:34:12.220 --> 00:34:12.640
 work in

00:34:12.640 --> 00:34:12.860
 dwelling

00:34:12.860 --> 00:34:13.380
 within us

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:13.720
 is to

00:34:13.720 --> 00:34:14.039
 glorify

00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:14.519
 the son

00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:15.440
 and to

00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:15.940
 bring to

00:34:15.940 --> 00:34:16.300
 us that

00:34:16.300 --> 00:34:16.640
 blessed

00:34:16.640 --> 00:34:17.140
 knowledge

00:34:17.140 --> 00:34:17.500
 of the

00:34:17.500 --> 00:34:17.740
 son

00:34:17.740 --> 00:34:17.940
 and of

00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:18.039
 his

00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:18.539
 wondrous

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:18.920
 love

00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:19.500
 to us

00:34:19.500 --> 00:34:20.820
 it is

00:34:20.820 --> 00:34:21.079
 he who

00:36:19.680 --> 00:36:20.480
 for me

00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:22.460
 this is the

00:36:22.460 --> 00:36:22.820
 miracle

00:36:22.820 --> 00:36:23.380
 that the

00:36:23.620 --> 00:36:24.519
 will do

00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:25.060
 this morning

00:36:25.060 --> 00:36:26.280
 in our

00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:26.700
 hearts

00:36:26.700 --> 00:36:27.580
 if we

00:36:27.580 --> 00:36:28.380
 would ask

00:36:28.380 --> 00:36:30.280
 so let me

00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:30.700

00:36:31.860 --> 00:36:32.300
 I just

00:36:32.300 --> 00:36:33.019
 summarized it

00:36:33.019 --> 00:36:33.420
 but let me

00:36:33.420 --> 00:36:33.800
 read it

00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:34.880
 and pray

00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:35.340
 that he

00:36:35.340 --> 00:36:35.560
 would do

00:36:36.099 --> 00:36:37.199
 there is

00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:39.659
 condemnation
