00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.540
 Our reading this morning comes from Romans 6, verses 15 to 23.

00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:14.540
 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law, but under grace? By no means.

00:00:15.220 --> 00:00:19.219
! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient as slaves,

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.859
 you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death,

00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:25.879
 or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:32.039
 But thanks be to God that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart

00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:34.359
 to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,

00:00:34.859 --> 00:00:38.920
 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.200
 I am speaking in human terms because of your natural limitations.

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.939
 For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness,

00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:53.780
 leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness,

00:00:53.780 --> 00:00:55.859
 leading to sanctification.

00:00:56.500 --> 00:01:00.140
 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:04.900
 But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed?

00:01:05.420 --> 00:01:07.180
 For the end of those things is death.

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.400
 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God,

00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.760
 the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end eternal life.

00:01:16.020 --> 00:01:21.780
 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

00:01:23.780 --> 00:01:32.500
 So, here in Ottawa, 2026, we are very far removed from slavery.

00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:38.560
 In fact, Canada, for all of our troubling historical faux pas,

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.060
 we are far from a perfect country, not sure if you knew that or not.

00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:45.939
 We had actually a fantastic track record when it comes to slavery.

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.939
 Pre-Confederation Canada was very ahead of its time.

00:01:49.939 --> 00:01:57.459
 Slavery was alive and well, raging in America and the rest of the New World.

00:01:57.939 --> 00:01:59.759
 The slave trade was active.

00:02:00.819 --> 00:02:05.039
 And yet, here in Ontario, or at the time Upper Canada,

00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:09.719
 John Simcoe, the one who founded York, which would later become Toronto,

00:02:10.379 --> 00:02:13.219
 he was instrumental in outlawing slavery.

00:02:13.219 --> 00:02:22.560
 He was an early English abolitionist, and he was also the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, Ontario,

00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:23.479
 what is now Ontario.

00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:31.000
 And he signed into law the 1793 Act Against Slavery.

00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:38.860
 And this was some 40 years before slavery was abolished in Westminster.

00:02:38.860 --> 00:02:41.100
 It's actually quite remarkable.

00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:47.800
 Canada also had a very fantastic role that they played in the Underground Railroad.

00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:54.500
 We should keep our heads held high when it comes to the history of Canada

00:02:54.500 --> 00:02:57.840
 and the transatlantic slave trade.

00:02:59.320 --> 00:03:06.540
 So, it's troubling then, if we come to this text as Canadians that know our history

00:03:06.540 --> 00:03:08.100
 and are proud of it, which we should be,

00:03:08.860 --> 00:03:11.500
 at least in this area of our history,

00:03:12.700 --> 00:03:20.220
 we come to a troubling passage where the Apostle Paul is going to liken the Christian life to slavery.

00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:24.820
 He's going to liken the Christian life to slavery.

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:34.020
 And he's going to use it to shed light on the doctrine of grace,

00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:37.820
 which is very foundational to what it means to be a Christian.

00:03:37.819 --> 00:03:41.739
 He is a provocative preacher.

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.620
 He was then, and he continues to be now the Apostle Paul.

00:03:46.539 --> 00:03:49.680
 But, as we go through chapters of the Bible,

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.739
 we don't just pick what Daniel wants to pick on a Sunday morning,

00:03:53.259 --> 00:03:54.859
 because it's easier that way for me.

00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:56.840
 We go through books of the Bible,

00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.400
 so we come to a potentially difficult text.

00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:02.599
 We don't walk away from it, we're going to walk towards it this morning.

00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:07.699
 And we're going to try to grasp what the Apostle Paul is saying,

00:04:08.340 --> 00:04:12.699
 and we're going to look at two contrasting pairings that he uses

00:04:12.699 --> 00:04:17.120
 to help articulate what it means to live as Christians.

00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:22.319
 He's going to contrast slavery and freedom, first and foremost.

00:04:23.100 --> 00:04:26.560
 And then, secondly, he's going to contrast sanctification and sin.

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:28.780
 Very theological, Christian-y words.

00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.980
 Slavery and freedom, sanctification and sin.

00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:34.399
 So, just two points this morning.

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.199
 We're going to jump in the text shortly in verse 16.

00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:44.199
 But first, I think it would help us to take a moment to understand a little bit about slavery.

00:04:45.180 --> 00:04:48.199
 Because we are, maybe not everybody,

00:04:49.180 --> 00:04:55.319
 but I would venture to guess the majority of us are understanding slavery through chattel slavery,

00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.060
 the transatlantic slave trade,

00:04:58.599 --> 00:05:03.120
 the whole abhorrent act of stealing people

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:09.399
 and buying and selling them that the new world in many ways was built upon.

00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:14.259
 But Paul is speaking to a similar but different kind of slavery

00:05:14.259 --> 00:05:17.920
 that took place in the first century in Rome.

00:05:18.780 --> 00:05:22.540
 You see, in the ancient world, in the ancient Roman Empire,

00:05:22.860 --> 00:05:25.800
 it would be unthinkable to live without slaves.

00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.139
 It was so baked into the economy of ancient Rome.

00:05:29.139 --> 00:05:37.360
 Slaves made up anywhere from 15 to up to 30% of all of the population of the Roman Empire.

00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:41.419
 In fact, there's some estimates that slaves and former slaves

00:05:41.419 --> 00:05:47.219
 were actually the majority of the population by the first century.

00:05:48.579 --> 00:05:51.120
 Slavery, let's be clear, a terrible business.

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.300
 If you worked in the fields, if you worked in the mines,

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.839
 you would wish death upon yourself.

00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:03.359
 But being a household slave could afford somebody a better life.

00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:07.959
 If you were lower class, a lower class freed person,

00:06:08.299 --> 00:06:11.339
 you might approach somebody to become a slave.

00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.019
 I mean, you would totally be owned by somebody else,

00:06:15.099 --> 00:06:16.939
 but you'd have food, you'd have shelter,

00:06:17.379 --> 00:06:21.539
 you'd have a purpose, you'd have a job.

00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:24.859
 And in some cases, people could be doctors,

00:06:24.860 --> 00:06:27.720
 they could be managers, they could be tutors,

00:06:27.819 --> 00:06:31.120
 they could even own their own slaves as slaves.

00:06:33.400 --> 00:06:38.220
 Nevertheless, slavery is still not advantageous.

00:06:38.280 --> 00:06:40.280
 You're still owned by another human being.

00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:41.319
 It's not great.

00:06:42.080 --> 00:06:44.560
 You are property, not a human being.

00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:47.240
 And especially in the church,

00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.540
 slavery would have been very, very obvious.

00:06:51.540 --> 00:06:57.700
 The church in the early first century was full of slaves,

00:06:57.860 --> 00:07:02.060
 primarily because the gospel proclaims inequality.

00:07:03.140 --> 00:07:04.960
 The Apostle Paul will later on,

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:06.920
 in a number of different places throughout the New Testament,

00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:07.560
 will talk about,

00:07:07.700 --> 00:07:08.680
 in Christ Jesus,

00:07:09.340 --> 00:07:11.640
 there's neither slave or free,

00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.780
 male or female,

00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:14.879
 Jew or Greek,

00:07:14.939 --> 00:07:15.860
 and you'll continue on.

00:07:15.860 --> 00:07:19.240
 Not that our identities become dissolved,

00:07:19.400 --> 00:07:21.660
 but just that there's inequality before God.

00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:22.300
 Why?

00:07:23.180 --> 00:07:25.240
 Because we are made in God's image.

00:07:25.819 --> 00:07:28.660
 This is like a foundational aspect of Christianity.

00:07:29.259 --> 00:07:32.780
 So therefore, the church would be a very welcoming place for slaves.

00:07:33.780 --> 00:07:38.800
 Therefore, Paul is speaking the vernacular to this group of people.

00:07:39.420 --> 00:07:40.680
 He is speaking their language.

00:07:40.819 --> 00:07:42.560
 He is using a metaphor that they would understand.

00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:43.160
 And by the way,

00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.300
 it's not exactly like Paul is jazzed about this metaphor.

00:07:46.660 --> 00:07:48.319
 Look with me in verse 19.

00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.500
 It'll be on page 30 if you're using one of these scripture journals.

00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:53.300
 Paul says this,

00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:57.759
 I am speaking in human terms because of your natural limitations.

00:07:58.340 --> 00:08:01.480
 Listen, this is not the best metaphor to use.

00:08:04.019 --> 00:08:09.019
 Likening Christianity to slavery isn't exactly the best way to promote your faith.

00:08:09.019 --> 00:08:14.180
 Even for the most kind of upper class slaves, so to speak,

00:08:14.259 --> 00:08:15.219
 you're still property.

00:08:15.659 --> 00:08:16.979
 It's not the greatest situation.

00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:18.859
 Nevertheless, it's an apt metaphor

00:08:18.859 --> 00:08:23.680
 because the majority of the people would,

00:08:24.259 --> 00:08:26.719
 potentially the majority of the people would be slaves,

00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:31.099
 but everybody would understand what slavery was in the first century.

00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:37.500
 So, with that as a bit of a primer, so to speak,

00:08:37.580 --> 00:08:39.639
 on what the Apostle Paul is talking about,

00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:42.680
 let's read verses 16 to 19.

00:08:42.820 --> 00:08:44.680
 Nisa has read it already, but we'll read it again.

00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:46.860
 Starting in verse 16.

00:08:46.860 --> 00:08:53.220
 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves,

00:08:53.379 --> 00:08:55.399
 you are slaves of the one whom you obey,

00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:57.279
 either of sin, which leads to death,

00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.639
 or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:04.580
 But thanks be to God that you who were once slaves of sin

00:09:04.580 --> 00:09:06.360
 have become obedient from the heart

00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:10.139
 to the standard of teaching to which you were committed.

00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:12.800
 And having been set free from sin,

00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:14.980
 have become slaves of righteousness.

00:09:14.980 --> 00:09:17.399
 Again, we reference this.

00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.200
 I'm speaking in human terms because of your natural limitations.

00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.659
 For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity

00:09:24.659 --> 00:09:27.680
 and to lawlessness, leading to more lawlessness,

00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.740
 so now present your members as slaves to righteousness,

00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:34.000
 leading to sanctification.

00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:35.500
 There's a lot there.

00:09:36.379 --> 00:09:39.220
 I'm going to point out two important things

00:09:39.220 --> 00:09:41.080
 that I want to draw your attention to.

00:09:41.139 --> 00:09:41.899
 The first is this.

00:09:41.899 --> 00:09:45.459
 Paul assumes that all human beings are slaves.

00:09:46.939 --> 00:09:50.360
 And not just that all human beings in the first century are slaves,

00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.639
 that all human beings in every place and every time are slaves.

00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.039
 In fact, this room, the Apostle Paul would say,

00:09:58.240 --> 00:09:59.340
 is full of slaves.

00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:02.919
 And he is making this case because

00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.360
 we've seen in chapter 5,

00:10:05.419 --> 00:10:06.740
 if you were here a couple weeks ago,

00:10:06.740 --> 00:10:11.139
 that all human beings are connected in a very deep way to Adam.

00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:14.919
 Adam, the character in the first two,

00:10:15.659 --> 00:10:18.279
 the first three chapters of Genesis,

00:10:18.820 --> 00:10:20.860
 where sin entered the world through Adam.

00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:22.560
 That because of that,

00:10:22.620 --> 00:10:24.279
 we all became slaves,

00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:25.680
 and slaves from our birth.

00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.239
 No one is truly free

00:10:28.239 --> 00:10:31.979
 in the sense of being completely and fully autonomous.

00:10:32.319 --> 00:10:33.819
 Everybody serves something.

00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:38.319
 Either we will serve death and sin,

00:10:39.099 --> 00:10:42.239
 oftentimes it takes the form of us serving our appetites,

00:10:43.019 --> 00:10:44.019
 our affections,

00:10:44.739 --> 00:10:46.659
 our desire to be respected

00:10:46.659 --> 00:10:48.039
 and loved,

00:10:48.219 --> 00:10:49.240
 our pleasure,

00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:50.019
 our money,

00:10:50.719 --> 00:10:51.659
 our exhilaration,

00:10:51.740 --> 00:10:53.000
 our desire for exhilaration.

00:10:53.500 --> 00:10:55.860
 We have a young man in our house

00:10:55.860 --> 00:10:59.939
 that I think that will be his besetting desire,

00:11:00.079 --> 00:11:01.799
 the thing that he pursues his whole life.

00:11:02.259 --> 00:11:03.459
 Comfort, status,

00:11:03.740 --> 00:11:04.459
 you name it.

00:11:06.199 --> 00:11:07.579
 We serve something.

00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:09.439
 We will go after something.

00:11:09.620 --> 00:11:11.199
 We are not fully autonomous.

00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:12.120
 We are governed

00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:15.919
 by the things we are pursuing.

00:11:16.659 --> 00:11:21.980
 The scripture repeatedly calls this pursuit

00:11:21.980 --> 00:11:24.139
 that is separated,

00:11:24.419 --> 00:11:25.179
 unhinged,

00:11:25.379 --> 00:11:26.459
 uncoupled from God,

00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:28.100
 he calls it sin.

00:11:28.719 --> 00:11:29.839
 The scriptures call it sin.

00:11:29.939 --> 00:11:31.139
 The apostle Paul calls it sin.

00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:32.740
 We're good things,

00:11:32.839 --> 00:11:33.399
 very good things.

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:34.439
 Pleasure is a good thing.

00:11:34.740 --> 00:11:37.480
 Exhilaration can be a very good thing.

00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:37.860
 Money,

00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:39.339
 a wonderful tool.

00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:41.679
 But when they become ultimate things,

00:11:42.059 --> 00:11:43.679
 they are disordered

00:11:44.299 --> 00:11:45.179
 and abused

00:11:45.179 --> 00:11:45.740
 and tainted.

00:11:46.659 --> 00:11:48.879
 Gifts are elevated above

00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:50.740
 the one who gives the gifts.

00:11:50.959 --> 00:11:52.459
 It's a huge problem.

00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:54.519
 And the apostle Paul

00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.639
 says that we are slaves.

00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:58.659
 We serve such things.

00:12:00.059 --> 00:12:01.240
 Verses 18 and 19,

00:12:01.339 --> 00:12:02.079
 he will say that

00:12:02.079 --> 00:12:03.459
 such slavery

00:12:03.459 --> 00:12:04.980
 is actually a slavery

00:12:04.980 --> 00:12:05.939
 to impurity

00:12:05.939 --> 00:12:06.759
 and lawlessness.

00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:10.740
 But when we are saved by God,

00:12:10.980 --> 00:12:12.200
 when he extends to us

00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:13.899
 this incredible gift of grace,

00:12:14.299 --> 00:12:14.919
 salvation,

00:12:15.220 --> 00:12:17.080
 and we receive it by faith in Christ,

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.799
 the apostle Paul says that we actually have a new master.

00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.819
 So it's not that we cease to serve

00:12:23.819 --> 00:12:26.000
 or cease to be a slave of something.

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.220
 We are rather serving someone else.

00:12:30.220 --> 00:12:33.680
 We are a slave of someone else.

00:12:33.800 --> 00:12:34.680
 We have a new master.

00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:36.840
 This master is God.

00:12:38.580 --> 00:12:41.080
 That is the first important consideration for us

00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.600
 that I want to draw your attention to

00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.660
 from this verses 16 to 19.

00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:46.420
 The second part

00:12:46.420 --> 00:12:48.800
 is that Paul states emphatically

00:12:48.800 --> 00:12:50.379
 that we cannot have two masters.

00:12:51.019 --> 00:12:52.180
 So on one hand,

00:12:52.259 --> 00:12:53.560
 we cannot not have a master.

00:12:53.680 --> 00:12:54.320
 On the other hand,

00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:55.440
 we can only have one.

00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:59.380
 We see this in verses 16 and 19.

00:12:59.520 --> 00:13:00.860
 We can either serve sin

00:13:00.860 --> 00:13:02.540
 or we can serve God.

00:13:03.800 --> 00:13:05.980
 We can either serve things that lead to death

00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:07.500
 or things that lead to life.

00:13:09.940 --> 00:13:10.800
 Jesus, likewise,

00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:12.040
 teaches the same thing

00:13:12.040 --> 00:13:13.840
 in his Sermon on the Mount,

00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:15.560
 Matthew 5 to 7.

00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:15.960
 In it,

00:13:16.020 --> 00:13:17.080
 he makes clear that we can

00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.620
 only serve one master.

00:13:18.820 --> 00:13:19.000
 Why?

00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:20.740
 Because we will only love one.

00:13:21.580 --> 00:13:23.360
 And it will be at the expense of the other.

00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:24.320
 We'll hate the other one.

00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.220
 And in that case,

00:13:25.300 --> 00:13:27.440
 he's speaking on money.

00:13:28.260 --> 00:13:29.780
 He ends that section of teaching

00:13:29.780 --> 00:13:30.180
 by saying,

00:13:30.560 --> 00:13:33.600
 you cannot serve both God and mammon.

00:13:33.680 --> 00:13:35.180
 You cannot serve both God and money.

00:13:35.260 --> 00:13:36.320
 Very apt for us

00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.780
 here in our affluent day.

00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:42.900
 There is

00:13:42.900 --> 00:13:46.540
 a very clear point that Paul is making.

00:13:47.060 --> 00:13:48.120
 There's only two camps

00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:49.880
 and you can only be in one of them.

00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:52.740
 So this life of faith

00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:54.680
 that Paul is then putting forward.

00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:56.460
 It's not a life

00:13:56.460 --> 00:13:57.759
 that we get to just enjoy

00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:58.620
 whatever we want,

00:13:58.740 --> 00:13:59.460
 but it's actually

00:13:59.460 --> 00:14:00.899
 a life of surrender.

00:14:01.299 --> 00:14:02.320
 It's a life of slavery.

00:14:02.419 --> 00:14:03.019
 And this is, again,

00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:03.779
 where we have to wrestle

00:14:03.779 --> 00:14:05.000
 through with what

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:06.460
 Paul is saying.

00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:08.259
 Because he is going to say

00:14:08.259 --> 00:14:08.560
 that

00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:10.539
 we have to present

00:14:10.539 --> 00:14:12.399
 our whole selves.

00:14:12.539 --> 00:14:13.600
 He talks about members

00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.200
 and in the original language,

00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:16.220
 it's literally like

00:14:16.220 --> 00:14:17.139
 your limbs,

00:14:17.139 --> 00:14:18.699
 but it carries with it

00:14:18.699 --> 00:14:19.600
 this idea that

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:20.699
 it's not just your bodies,

00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.000
 but it is your desires,

00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:22.819
 it's your mind,

00:14:22.939 --> 00:14:24.100
 it's your affection,

00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:25.480
 your affections.

00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:26.559
 It means we have to present

00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:28.039
 our whole selves to God

00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.240
 in response to what God

00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:31.659
 has done for us.

00:14:33.580 --> 00:14:34.519
 Paul will write

00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:35.559
 to the Corinthian church

00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:36.139
 and tell us

00:14:36.139 --> 00:14:37.259
 what God has done for us.

00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:38.100
 And what is that?

00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:40.240
 He says in chapter 6

00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:41.000
 of 1 Corinthians

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.519
 that we are not our own,

00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:44.980
 but that we were bought

00:14:44.980 --> 00:14:45.659
 with a price.

00:14:46.659 --> 00:14:47.379
 And that price is

00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:48.480
 the shed blood

00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:49.240
 of Christ himself.

00:14:51.100 --> 00:14:52.120
 So the big question

00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.100
 that Paul wants to remind

00:14:54.100 --> 00:14:55.700
 and exhort his listeners,

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.980
 and those listeners

00:14:56.980 --> 00:14:58.300
 are us here this morning,

00:14:58.860 --> 00:15:00.519
 what he wants to remind us

00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.120
 of is a question.

00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:05.440
 And here's the question.

00:15:06.340 --> 00:15:07.860
 Who are you obedient to?

00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:09.920
 Not if you are obedient

00:15:09.920 --> 00:15:11.019
 to something or someone,

00:15:11.139 --> 00:15:13.279
 but who are you obedient to?

00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:15.699
 Is it any of the things

00:15:15.699 --> 00:15:17.079
 I named just a minute

00:15:17.079 --> 00:15:17.720
 or two ago?

00:15:18.419 --> 00:15:20.279
 Or is it Christ himself?

00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:23.740
 A bit of an objection.

00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:24.839
 And I think it might be

00:15:24.839 --> 00:15:26.100
 a good one.

00:15:29.179 --> 00:15:30.139
 Here's the objection.

00:15:31.459 --> 00:15:33.399
 It's not one of the big reasons

00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:34.939
 we have the strife

00:15:34.939 --> 00:15:36.079
 we have in the world

00:15:36.079 --> 00:15:37.939
 because we have

00:15:37.939 --> 00:15:39.759
 more religious fanatics,

00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:40.439
 not less.

00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:42.200
 I mean,

00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:43.260
 we have

00:15:43.260 --> 00:15:45.360
 an ongoing war

00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:46.820
 in the Middle East

00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:47.580
 right now

00:15:47.580 --> 00:15:49.140
 because of

00:15:49.140 --> 00:15:50.400
 an entire regime

00:15:50.400 --> 00:15:51.460
 that is

00:15:51.460 --> 00:15:52.400
 religiously

00:15:52.400 --> 00:15:53.340
 hell-bent

00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:54.560
 on the destruction

00:15:54.560 --> 00:15:55.260
 of the West.

00:15:56.520 --> 00:15:57.580
 Isn't that the problem?

00:15:57.780 --> 00:15:58.880
 Religious fanaticism.

00:15:59.980 --> 00:16:00.960
 Don't we want

00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:01.520
 more people

00:16:01.520 --> 00:16:02.260
 to be balanced,

00:16:02.660 --> 00:16:03.640
 to be regular?

00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.120
 Whatever that regular is,

00:16:05.180 --> 00:16:05.520
 by the way.

00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:06.480
 Regular.

00:16:07.380 --> 00:16:08.540
 Surely we need people

00:16:08.539 --> 00:16:10.240
 who enjoy,

00:16:10.539 --> 00:16:10.719
 yeah,

00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:11.759
 good church service

00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:12.659
 here and there,

00:16:12.719 --> 00:16:13.519
 but aren't given over

00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:14.659
 to a zealousness

00:16:14.659 --> 00:16:16.199
 that may make them,

00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:17.099
 you know,

00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:18.599
 maybe not very respectable.

00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:22.339
 I want to,

00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:23.939
 hypothetically,

00:16:24.299 --> 00:16:25.019
 whoever is

00:16:25.019 --> 00:16:27.120
 offering that objection,

00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:28.079
 I would reply to them

00:16:28.079 --> 00:16:28.919
 with a question.

00:16:29.579 --> 00:16:30.719
 Are you sure

00:16:30.719 --> 00:16:33.159
 that the secular person

00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:34.079
 isn't actually

00:16:34.079 --> 00:16:36.240
 the truly zealous one,

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:37.519
 the zealous fanatic?

00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:39.659
 What do I mean?

00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:42.740
 I do enjoy history.

00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:44.320
 Obviously,

00:16:44.620 --> 00:16:45.139
 talking about

00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:45.899
 John Simcoe,

00:16:46.139 --> 00:16:47.440
 I really love

00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:48.460
 the history of Canada

00:16:48.460 --> 00:16:49.159
 and the history

00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:49.620
 in general.

00:16:51.060 --> 00:16:51.860
 But the more

00:16:51.860 --> 00:16:52.779
 I read about history,

00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:53.799
 the more I'm very happy

00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:55.100
 to live in the 21st century.

00:16:55.500 --> 00:16:55.680
 All right?

00:16:55.820 --> 00:16:57.220
 I like a refrigerator

00:16:57.220 --> 00:16:58.220
 that I can open

00:16:58.220 --> 00:17:00.259
 and get preserved food

00:17:00.259 --> 00:17:01.080
 and enjoy

00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:02.139
 whenever I want,

00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:03.279
 probably too often,

00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:04.259
 but nevertheless,

00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:06.480
 I enjoy a flush toilet,

00:17:06.619 --> 00:17:08.639
 I enjoy a combustion engine.

00:17:09.220 --> 00:17:09.480
 Okay?

00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:11.359
 I love the modern world

00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:12.480
 that we live in.

00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:13.039
 I do.

00:17:13.339 --> 00:17:14.839
 I do not want to go back

00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:15.779
 to horse and buggy

00:17:15.779 --> 00:17:17.759
 no matter how idealistic

00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:19.519
 it might seem

00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:20.920
 when we read children's books

00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:22.599
 or watch movies.

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:23.619
 I don't want it.

00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:24.099
 Okay?

00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:25.759
 I like my creature comforts.

00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:27.160
 But one thing

00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:28.139
 I do not like

00:17:28.139 --> 00:17:29.559
 in our 21st century,

00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:32.119
 and it's precisely

00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:33.059
 because I am so

00:17:33.059 --> 00:17:34.659
 infected with it,

00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:35.980
 is

00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:38.019
 the religion

00:17:38.019 --> 00:17:38.759
 of our age.

00:17:39.879 --> 00:17:40.339
 What do I,

00:17:40.539 --> 00:17:42.059
 what am I referring to?

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:44.359
 The one thing

00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:44.859
 that has marked

00:17:44.859 --> 00:17:46.240
 the modern world

00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:46.879
 and especially

00:17:46.879 --> 00:17:47.899
 the post-modern world,

00:17:48.019 --> 00:17:49.119
 the moment we live in,

00:17:49.639 --> 00:17:50.639
 is something called

00:17:50.639 --> 00:17:52.419
 expressive individualism.

00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:53.039
 What do I mean?

00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:56.960
 It's not a term

00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:57.639
 that I coined.

00:17:57.640 --> 00:17:59.640
 I'm okay

00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:01.680
 in my intellect

00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:03.100
 but not terribly smart.

00:18:03.360 --> 00:18:04.080
 Carl Truman,

00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:06.200
 he's a philosopher

00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:07.600
 and a professor

00:18:07.600 --> 00:18:08.200
 and a pastor.

00:18:08.740 --> 00:18:10.700
 He wrote a big book

00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:12.300
 on just this very thing.

00:18:12.940 --> 00:18:13.640
 And he defines

00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:14.640
 expressive individualism

00:18:15.220 --> 00:18:16.380
 as meaning,

00:18:16.540 --> 00:18:16.759
 quote,

00:18:17.800 --> 00:18:20.340
 that each of us

00:18:20.340 --> 00:18:21.560
 finds our meaning

00:18:21.560 --> 00:18:22.759
 by giving expression

00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:24.000
 to our own feelings

00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:25.440
 and desires.

00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:26.600
 And he continues on

00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.599
 anything that gets

00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:29.419
 in the way of that,

00:18:30.699 --> 00:18:32.240
 it is that

00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:32.959
 we have,

00:18:33.879 --> 00:18:34.259
 sorry,

00:18:34.339 --> 00:18:35.279
 let me try that again.

00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:36.059
 Anything that gets

00:18:36.059 --> 00:18:36.799
 in the way of that,

00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:37.379
 however,

00:18:38.179 --> 00:18:39.000
 it is that

00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:41.379
 that we have defined it

00:18:41.379 --> 00:18:42.079
 is an offense

00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:43.059
 to our very person.

00:18:43.579 --> 00:18:44.519
 That which hinders

00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:45.799
 my outward expression

00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:47.139
 of my inner feelings,

00:18:47.719 --> 00:18:48.759
 that which challenges

00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:49.759
 or attempts

00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:50.519
 to falsify

00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:52.240
 my psychological beliefs

00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:53.500
 about myself

00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:54.599
 and thus to disturb

00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:56.379
 my sense of inner well-being

00:18:56.379 --> 00:18:58.879
 is by definition harmful

00:18:58.879 --> 00:19:00.339
 and to be rejected.

00:19:00.339 --> 00:19:01.299
 And that means

00:19:01.299 --> 00:19:02.740
 that traditional institutions

00:19:02.740 --> 00:19:03.959
 must be transformed

00:19:03.959 --> 00:19:05.139
 to conform

00:19:05.139 --> 00:19:07.199
 to the psychological self,

00:19:07.339 --> 00:19:08.579
 not vice versa.

00:19:08.579 --> 00:19:11.339
 what he is essentially

00:19:11.339 --> 00:19:12.039
 saying is

00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:13.000
 we get to decide

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:14.439
 what makes us us.

00:19:16.639 --> 00:19:18.220
 What makes us

00:19:18.220 --> 00:19:19.699
 have true meaning,

00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:21.339
 the purpose in life.

00:19:21.399 --> 00:19:21.839
 It is not

00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:23.779
 an outside reality

00:19:23.779 --> 00:19:25.939
 that is put upon us,

00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:27.799
 but it is an inner reality

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:29.939
 that we force the world,

00:19:31.099 --> 00:19:32.279
 individuals or institutions,

00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:33.119
 to conform to.

00:19:34.980 --> 00:19:36.220
 Does this not capture

00:19:36.220 --> 00:19:37.860
 our current cultural moment?

00:19:39.140 --> 00:19:40.319
 Is this not the prevailing

00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:41.759
 religious structure

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:42.559
 of our time,

00:19:42.620 --> 00:19:43.640
 the thing people

00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:44.900
 are most passionate about,

00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:46.940
 which is oftentimes themselves?

00:19:48.380 --> 00:19:49.160
 Is it something

00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:50.420
 that rings true for you?

00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:52.079
 It rings true for me.

00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:53.660
 I hate to admit it,

00:19:53.700 --> 00:19:54.120
 it does.

00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:56.240
 I'm a very selfish person.

00:19:56.380 --> 00:19:57.920
 I like things going my way.

00:19:58.440 --> 00:19:59.740
 And if things get in the way

00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:00.880
 of the way I have

00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.400
 curated it to be in my mind,

00:20:03.500 --> 00:20:04.880
 it's frustrating.

00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.060
 My initial reaction isn't,

00:20:07.320 --> 00:20:08.220
 I should change.

00:20:08.620 --> 00:20:09.900
 That needs to change.

00:20:12.700 --> 00:20:13.260
 You see,

00:20:13.320 --> 00:20:14.880
 the lie of expressive individualism

00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:17.480
 is that it is the only way

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:18.620
 we can truly be free.

00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:19.960
 That is what it sells us.

00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:22.160
 But the fact is,

00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:23.660
 it is a form of slavery.

00:20:23.780 --> 00:20:24.080
 In fact,

00:20:24.180 --> 00:20:25.120
 I would put forward to you

00:20:25.120 --> 00:20:28.440
 that it is the form of slavery.

00:20:29.040 --> 00:20:31.520
 For it is a slavery of the mind.

00:20:31.900 --> 00:20:32.060
 Okay?

00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:32.920
 The mind.

00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:33.920
 Okay?

00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:36.600
 We become beholden

00:20:36.600 --> 00:20:37.460
 to our desires

00:20:37.460 --> 00:20:38.640
 and our appetites.

00:20:39.100 --> 00:20:39.960
 We have no power

00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:41.000
 to truly think about

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.660
 the well-being of others.

00:20:42.820 --> 00:20:44.720
 We are totally obsessed

00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:45.540
 with the self.

00:20:49.840 --> 00:20:51.740
 Even when we do charity

00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:54.020
 or show kindness

00:20:54.020 --> 00:20:54.700
 to a neighbor,

00:20:55.280 --> 00:20:56.880
 it is done with an air

00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:58.120
 of self-satisfaction.

00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:00.419
 We feel good about ourselves.

00:21:00.479 --> 00:21:01.019
 That's kind of why

00:21:01.019 --> 00:21:01.939
 we do it in the end.

00:21:02.939 --> 00:21:03.439
 And by the way,

00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:04.279
 it is really good

00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:05.419
 to help people out

00:21:05.419 --> 00:21:06.379
 even if your motives

00:21:06.379 --> 00:21:06.939
 aren't great.

00:21:07.339 --> 00:21:07.979
 Give money,

00:21:08.579 --> 00:21:10.019
 give food to the food bank.

00:21:10.179 --> 00:21:11.399
 They do not care

00:21:11.399 --> 00:21:12.919
 what your motives are.

00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:14.119
 Okay?

00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:15.439
 It's still great to do it.

00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:15.879
 Nevertheless,

00:21:16.139 --> 00:21:17.059
 if we're talking about

00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:18.299
 true charity,

00:21:18.459 --> 00:21:19.119
 true love,

00:21:19.719 --> 00:21:20.959
 true selflessness,

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:21.519
 forgiveness,

00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:24.559
 even in our self-giving,

00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:26.680
 we find that

00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:28.259
 we are self-absorbed.

00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:32.759
 It's a problem.

00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:37.980
 We find ourselves

00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:38.819
 overindulging.

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:41.059
 We often treat others

00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:41.819
 as the means

00:21:41.819 --> 00:21:42.500
 to our ends.

00:21:42.620 --> 00:21:44.799
 We also end up

00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:45.740
 living with a whole

00:21:45.740 --> 00:21:46.680
 boatload of shame.

00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:49.460
 And oftentimes

00:21:49.460 --> 00:21:50.580
 we experience

00:21:50.580 --> 00:21:52.080
 emotional and relational

00:21:52.080 --> 00:21:54.360
 and a kind of

00:21:54.360 --> 00:21:55.180
 spiritual death.

00:21:57.460 --> 00:21:58.200
 In fact,

00:21:58.279 --> 00:21:59.180
 the only freedom

00:21:59.180 --> 00:22:00.140
 that this expressive

00:22:00.140 --> 00:22:01.360
 individualism offers

00:22:01.360 --> 00:22:02.640
 is a freedom

00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:04.680
 from freedom.

00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:05.920
 A freedom

00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:06.900
 from righteousness.

00:22:07.500 --> 00:22:08.140
 Paul says that

00:22:08.140 --> 00:22:08.779
 in verse 20.

00:22:10.580 --> 00:22:11.180
 But consider

00:22:11.180 --> 00:22:12.360
 a life in Christ.

00:22:13.580 --> 00:22:14.779
 Slavery to Christ

00:22:14.779 --> 00:22:15.640
 as Paul calls it.

00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:17.020
 What does it result in?

00:22:17.460 --> 00:22:18.280
 Verse 16.

00:22:19.259 --> 00:22:19.740
 Righteousness.

00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:20.700
 Which is to say

00:22:20.700 --> 00:22:21.880
 a right way

00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:22.500
 of living.

00:22:23.520 --> 00:22:24.759
 Freedom from sin.

00:22:25.320 --> 00:22:25.900
 Verse 18.

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:27.240
 And then ultimately

00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:27.780
 it leads to

00:22:27.780 --> 00:22:28.560
 eternal life.

00:22:29.080 --> 00:22:29.680
 Verse 22.

00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:31.660
 So we have a paradox

00:22:31.660 --> 00:22:32.420
 on our hands here.

00:22:32.840 --> 00:22:33.380
 We have freedom

00:22:33.380 --> 00:22:34.140
 from God

00:22:34.140 --> 00:22:37.600
 being very clearly

00:22:37.600 --> 00:22:39.440
 Paul shows it

00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:40.240
 that it's very clearly

00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:41.820
 slavery to sin

00:22:41.820 --> 00:22:42.480
 and to death.

00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:43.640
 While slavery

00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:45.140
 slavery to God

00:22:45.140 --> 00:22:45.740
 is freedom

00:22:45.740 --> 00:22:46.560
 from impurity

00:22:46.560 --> 00:22:47.240
 lawlessness

00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:47.800
 and sin.

00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:49.480
 Bit of a paradox here.

00:22:51.080 --> 00:22:51.680
 So returning

00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:52.500
 to Paul's opening

00:22:52.500 --> 00:22:53.480
 question in

00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:54.380
 verse 15.

00:22:54.500 --> 00:22:55.560
 Let me read it for us.

00:22:57.300 --> 00:22:57.780
 What then?

00:22:58.600 --> 00:22:59.259
 Are we to sin

00:22:59.259 --> 00:23:00.020
 because we are not

00:23:00.020 --> 00:23:00.680
 under law

00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:01.700
 but under grace?

00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:03.320
 By no means.

00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:06.140
 Returning to Paul's

00:23:06.140 --> 00:23:06.940
 opening question.

00:23:07.460 --> 00:23:08.200
 Since we are free

00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:08.840
 from the law

00:23:08.840 --> 00:23:09.640
 and under grace

00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:10.560
 are we to sin?

00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:12.639
 we find ourselves

00:23:12.639 --> 00:23:14.099
 with a question

00:23:14.099 --> 00:23:16.319
 that is not asked

00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:17.539
 from a truly free person

00:23:17.539 --> 00:23:19.460
 but from somebody

00:23:19.460 --> 00:23:20.460
 seeking license

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:21.599
 to do what he

00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.299
 or she knows

00:23:22.299 --> 00:23:22.740
 is wrong.

00:23:23.659 --> 00:23:24.240
 And I would say

00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:25.559
 license to do

00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:26.599
 something is a whole

00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:27.240
 lot different

00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:28.200
 than freedom

00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:29.000
 to do something.

00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:33.099
 Such a question

00:23:33.099 --> 00:23:33.980
 comes from a heart

00:23:33.980 --> 00:23:34.919
 not set free

00:23:34.919 --> 00:23:35.639
 from the law

00:23:35.639 --> 00:23:37.099
 by grace

00:23:37.099 --> 00:23:37.980
 but one deeply

00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:39.519
 enslaved to sin.

00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:41.639
 It also reflects

00:23:41.639 --> 00:23:42.859
 the presumption

00:23:42.859 --> 00:23:43.859
 upon the grace

00:23:43.859 --> 00:23:44.279
 of God

00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:44.920
 which fails

00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:45.539
 to understand

00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:46.539
 the gloriousness

00:23:46.539 --> 00:23:47.660
 of God's grace

00:23:47.660 --> 00:23:48.460
 of his kindness

00:23:48.460 --> 00:23:49.460
 of his undeserved

00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:50.579
 merit towards us.

00:23:52.220 --> 00:23:53.879
 The grace of God

00:23:53.879 --> 00:23:55.660
 indeed makes us free

00:23:55.660 --> 00:23:57.160
 but here's the

00:23:57.160 --> 00:23:59.099
 million dollar question

00:23:59.099 --> 00:23:59.779
 what does it

00:23:59.779 --> 00:24:00.940
 make us free to do?

00:24:01.099 --> 00:24:01.940
 How should we live

00:24:01.940 --> 00:24:02.859
 in light of that freedom?

00:24:03.900 --> 00:24:04.559
 This leads us

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:05.379
 to the second point

00:24:05.379 --> 00:24:06.940
 sanctification

00:24:06.940 --> 00:24:08.319
 and sin.

00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:10.680
 We need to first

00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:11.440
 recognize that our

00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:12.240
 origin story

00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:13.839
 is one of sin.

00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:15.460
 We talked about that

00:24:15.460 --> 00:24:17.059
 in our first point.

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:18.740
 We

00:24:18.740 --> 00:24:20.759
 you who were

00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:21.720
 once slaves

00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:22.319
 we were

00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:23.579
 once slaves

00:24:23.579 --> 00:24:25.039
 it is our origin story.

00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:26.379
 The slavery

00:24:26.379 --> 00:24:26.960
 that we

00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:27.940
 have

00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:28.980
 is deep

00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:30.099
 it's in our bones

00:24:30.099 --> 00:24:31.420
 it goes to the very

00:24:31.420 --> 00:24:32.259
 core of

00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:33.019
 who we are.

00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:34.259
 But again

00:24:34.259 --> 00:24:34.839
 at conversion

00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:35.720
 we become something

00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:36.139
 different.

00:24:36.299 --> 00:24:36.879
 Verse 17

00:24:36.879 --> 00:24:39.180
 I'll read this again.

00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:41.599
 But thanks

00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:42.279
 be to God

00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:42.779
 that you

00:24:42.779 --> 00:24:43.500
 who were once

00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:44.460
 slaves of sin

00:24:44.460 --> 00:24:44.920
 have become

00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:45.799
 obedient from the

00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:46.859
 heart to the

00:24:46.859 --> 00:24:47.400
 standard of

00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:48.700
 teaching to which

00:24:48.700 --> 00:24:49.180
 you were

00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:50.279
 committed.

00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.180
 We have

00:24:51.180 --> 00:24:52.460
 become something

00:24:52.460 --> 00:24:52.839
 different.

00:24:53.619 --> 00:24:54.539
 So we are born

00:24:54.539 --> 00:24:57.019
 a certain way

00:24:57.019 --> 00:24:57.480
 but then

00:24:57.480 --> 00:24:58.680
 we have become

00:24:58.680 --> 00:24:59.639
 something different.

00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:00.539
 This becoming

00:25:00.539 --> 00:25:02.279
 is a result of

00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:03.379
 what does Paul say?

00:25:03.500 --> 00:25:04.059
 An obedience

00:25:04.059 --> 00:25:04.819
 from the heart

00:25:04.819 --> 00:25:05.539
 to the standard

00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:06.460
 of teaching to which

00:25:06.460 --> 00:25:07.019
 you were committed.

00:25:07.019 --> 00:25:08.220
 A lot of

00:25:08.220 --> 00:25:09.139
 ink spilt

00:25:09.139 --> 00:25:09.579
 on how to

00:25:09.579 --> 00:25:10.299
 translate this.

00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:11.960
 I just go by

00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:12.519
 the smartest

00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:13.339
 person I read

00:25:13.339 --> 00:25:14.579
 and I think

00:25:14.579 --> 00:25:15.240
 it boils down

00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:15.819
 to basically

00:25:15.819 --> 00:25:16.460
 this.

00:25:17.139 --> 00:25:17.819
 Paul says

00:25:17.819 --> 00:25:18.980
 you have

00:25:18.980 --> 00:25:19.400
 received the

00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:19.740
 gospel.

00:25:20.500 --> 00:25:21.960
 The proclamation

00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:22.759
 that Christ

00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:23.720
 Jesus has died

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:24.480
 on your behalf

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:25.639
 he has died

00:25:25.639 --> 00:25:26.379
 in your place

00:25:26.379 --> 00:25:27.079
 for your sins

00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:27.940
 you have been

00:25:27.940 --> 00:25:28.799
 united to him

00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:29.980
 given new life

00:25:29.980 --> 00:25:31.000
 in him

00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:33.180
 you have heard

00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:33.960
 the gospel

00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:34.859
 you have believed

00:25:34.859 --> 00:25:35.599
 it in your heart

00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:36.179
 and that this

00:25:36.179 --> 00:25:36.959
 new belief

00:25:36.959 --> 00:25:38.119
 has led to

00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:38.619
 a commitment

00:25:38.619 --> 00:25:39.679
 to an ongoing

00:25:39.679 --> 00:25:40.240
 belief

00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:41.259
 and then action.

00:25:42.459 --> 00:25:43.059
 We now have

00:25:43.059 --> 00:25:43.699
 a new master

00:25:43.699 --> 00:25:44.459
 we are under

00:25:44.459 --> 00:25:45.799
 new management

00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:47.500
 new management.

00:25:48.959 --> 00:25:49.119
 You know

00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:50.259
 management matters

00:25:50.259 --> 00:25:51.219
 it does

00:25:51.219 --> 00:25:52.759
 it matters in

00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:53.379
 our own lives

00:25:53.379 --> 00:25:54.000
 it matters in

00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:54.419
 the world

00:25:54.419 --> 00:25:55.419
 that we inhabit

00:25:55.419 --> 00:25:57.019
 years and

00:25:57.019 --> 00:25:57.339
 years and

00:25:57.339 --> 00:25:57.839
 years ago

00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:00.279
 when I was

00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:00.699
 home from

00:26:00.699 --> 00:26:01.259
 university

00:26:01.259 --> 00:26:03.559
 basically

00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:04.000
 worked like

00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:04.500
 a dog

00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:05.220
 Thursday

00:26:05.220 --> 00:26:06.799
 doing landscaping

00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:07.380
 Thursday would

00:26:07.380 --> 00:26:08.359
 come and

00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:08.720
 we play

00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:09.220
 basketball

00:26:09.220 --> 00:26:10.259
 in the evening

00:26:10.259 --> 00:26:10.839
 and then we

00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:11.359
 go to this

00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:11.799
 pub called

00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:12.339
 the Mad Hatter

00:26:12.339 --> 00:26:13.099
 and it was

00:26:13.099 --> 00:26:13.500
 awesome

00:26:13.500 --> 00:26:14.859
 because my

00:26:14.859 --> 00:26:15.680
 metabolism was

00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:16.460
 unbelievable

00:26:16.460 --> 00:26:17.400
 I would eat

00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:18.539
 big giant

00:26:18.539 --> 00:26:19.019
 poutine

00:26:19.019 --> 00:26:20.099
 and have a

00:26:20.099 --> 00:26:20.440
 Guinness

00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:21.460
 like a giant

00:26:21.460 --> 00:26:22.240
 blender of

00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:22.940
 chemicals in

00:26:22.940 --> 00:26:23.759
 my belly

00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:24.900
 and we had

00:26:24.900 --> 00:26:25.680
 a great time

00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:26.440
 we had great

00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:26.960
 friends

00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:27.799
 everything was

00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:28.200
 great

00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:29.000
 and then one

00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:29.720
 summer I came

00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:30.119
 back

00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:31.279
 and the

00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:31.579
 Hatter

00:26:31.579 --> 00:26:32.279
 became an

00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:32.940
 oyster bar

00:26:32.940 --> 00:26:34.240
 gross

00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:35.740
 and it

00:26:35.740 --> 00:26:36.460
 wasn't fun

00:26:36.460 --> 00:26:37.580
 and everything

00:26:37.580 --> 00:26:38.240
 was ruined

00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:39.320
 and within

00:26:39.320 --> 00:26:39.980
 like two or

00:26:39.980 --> 00:26:40.440
 three years

00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:41.140
 it was changed

00:26:41.140 --> 00:26:41.620
 back to the

00:26:41.620 --> 00:26:42.039
 Mad Hatter

00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:43.120
 but the ship

00:26:43.120 --> 00:26:43.720
 had sailed

00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:44.759
 management

00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:45.420
 matters

00:26:45.420 --> 00:26:46.140
 it does

00:26:46.140 --> 00:26:48.700
 the scriptures

00:26:48.700 --> 00:26:50.340
 make it clear

00:26:50.340 --> 00:26:50.980
 Paul is making

00:26:50.980 --> 00:26:51.400
 it clear that

00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:51.779
 we have come

00:26:51.779 --> 00:26:52.140
 under new

00:26:52.140 --> 00:26:52.500
 management

00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:54.059
 we are no

00:26:54.059 --> 00:26:55.059
 longer enslaved

00:26:55.059 --> 00:26:55.840
 to our

00:26:55.840 --> 00:26:56.700
 previous

00:26:56.700 --> 00:26:58.259
 slave master

00:26:58.259 --> 00:26:59.000
 which is sin

00:26:59.000 --> 00:26:59.519
 but now

00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:00.539
 enslaved to

00:27:00.539 --> 00:27:01.039
 Christ

00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:02.879
 we have

00:27:02.879 --> 00:27:03.240
 been made

00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:03.639
 holy

00:27:03.639 --> 00:27:04.299
 in God's

00:27:04.299 --> 00:27:04.639
 sight

00:27:04.639 --> 00:27:05.920
 however

00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:06.920
 the process

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:07.859
 of growing

00:27:07.859 --> 00:27:08.579
 into what

00:27:08.579 --> 00:27:09.200
 we are

00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:10.119
 is ongoing

00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:11.019
 and requires

00:27:11.019 --> 00:27:12.279
 his empowerment

00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:14.000
 even though

00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:14.500
 we are in

00:27:14.500 --> 00:27:14.940
 Christ

00:27:14.940 --> 00:27:15.599
 again

00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:16.099
 no longer

00:27:16.099 --> 00:27:16.480
 in Adam

00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:16.960
 you can read

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:17.339
 about that

00:27:17.339 --> 00:27:18.139
 chapter 5

00:27:18.139 --> 00:27:19.579
 and therefore

00:27:19.579 --> 00:27:19.940
 we are

00:27:19.940 --> 00:27:22.799
 free to live

00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:23.319
 righteously

00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:24.019
 we often

00:27:24.019 --> 00:27:24.519
 don't

00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:25.339
 we struggle

00:27:25.339 --> 00:27:27.759
 the apostle

00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:28.279
 Paul will

00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:29.079
 really dive

00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:29.519
 into this

00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:30.399
 in chapter 7

00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:31.540
 when he says

00:27:31.540 --> 00:27:32.660
 that we do

00:27:32.660 --> 00:27:33.080
 the things

00:27:33.080 --> 00:27:33.519
 that we do

00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:33.940
 not want

00:27:33.940 --> 00:27:34.280
 to do

00:27:34.280 --> 00:27:34.600
 and we

00:27:34.600 --> 00:27:35.019
 don't do

00:27:35.019 --> 00:27:35.320
 the things

00:27:35.320 --> 00:27:35.620
 we do

00:27:35.620 --> 00:27:35.880
 want to

00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:36.080
 do

00:27:36.080 --> 00:27:38.720
 nevertheless

00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:39.360
 there's a

00:27:39.360 --> 00:27:39.820
 growth

00:27:39.820 --> 00:27:41.100
 in what

00:27:41.100 --> 00:27:41.640
 we are

00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:42.000
 right

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:42.500
 God has

00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:42.920
 made us

00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:43.200
 holy

00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:43.560
 but then

00:27:43.560 --> 00:27:43.820
 we have

00:27:43.820 --> 00:27:44.320
 to grow

00:27:44.320 --> 00:27:44.840
 in holiness

00:27:44.840 --> 00:27:45.900
 and the

00:27:45.900 --> 00:27:46.420
 apostle Paul

00:27:46.420 --> 00:27:46.720
 will call

00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:46.880
 this

00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:47.820
 sanctification

00:27:47.820 --> 00:27:49.420
 we see

00:27:49.420 --> 00:27:49.720
 this in

00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:50.519
 verses 19

00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:51.080
 and 22

00:27:51.080 --> 00:27:51.600
 let me read

00:27:51.600 --> 00:27:51.900
 them for

00:27:51.900 --> 00:27:52.100
 you

00:27:52.100 --> 00:27:53.280
 verse 19

00:27:53.279 --> 00:28:12.099
 verse 22

00:28:12.099 --> 00:28:13.899
 but now

00:28:13.899 --> 00:28:14.219
 that you

00:28:14.219 --> 00:28:14.459
 have been

00:28:14.459 --> 00:28:15.039
 set free

00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:15.579
 from sin

00:28:15.579 --> 00:28:15.879
 and have

00:28:15.879 --> 00:28:16.179
 become

00:28:16.179 --> 00:28:16.679
 slaves

00:28:16.679 --> 00:28:17.199
 of God

00:28:17.199 --> 00:28:17.939
 the fruit

00:28:17.939 --> 00:28:18.699
 you get

00:28:18.699 --> 00:28:19.519
 leads to

00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:21.419
 sanctification

00:28:21.419 --> 00:28:22.059
 and its

00:28:22.059 --> 00:28:22.439
 end

00:28:22.439 --> 00:28:23.399
 eternal

00:28:23.399 --> 00:28:24.199
 life

00:28:24.199 --> 00:28:25.559
 three important

00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:26.379
 things to consider

00:28:26.379 --> 00:28:27.659
 before we wrap up

00:28:27.659 --> 00:28:28.319
 the first

00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:29.500
 is that action

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:30.259
 begets more

00:28:30.259 --> 00:28:30.779
 action

00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:32.500
 verse 19

00:28:32.500 --> 00:28:33.399
 if you look

00:28:33.399 --> 00:28:33.579
 at it

00:28:33.579 --> 00:28:34.159
 our behavior

00:28:34.159 --> 00:28:35.359
 has a dynamic

00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:36.299
 nature to it

00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:37.859
 as we engage

00:28:37.859 --> 00:28:38.519
 with either

00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:39.059
 lawlessness

00:28:39.059 --> 00:28:39.919
 or righteousness

00:28:39.919 --> 00:28:41.440
 that behavior

00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:42.419
 will grow

00:28:42.419 --> 00:28:44.039
 conversely

00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:44.859
 if we starve

00:28:44.859 --> 00:28:45.500
 that behavior

00:28:45.500 --> 00:28:46.059
 it will begin

00:28:46.059 --> 00:28:46.619
 to shrink

00:28:46.619 --> 00:28:48.480
 having a fire

00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:49.240
 where we

00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:49.940
 stoke it

00:28:49.940 --> 00:28:50.720
 with wood

00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:51.700
 and it

00:28:51.700 --> 00:28:52.279
 continues to

00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:52.679
 grow and

00:28:52.679 --> 00:28:52.940
 grow and

00:28:52.940 --> 00:28:53.259
 grow but

00:28:53.259 --> 00:28:54.220
 we remove

00:28:54.220 --> 00:28:55.079
 the heat

00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:55.779
 source or

00:28:55.779 --> 00:28:56.119
 the fuel

00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:56.659
 source or

00:28:56.659 --> 00:28:57.179
 the heat

00:28:57.179 --> 00:29:00.480
 the oxygen

00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:01.819
 the fire

00:29:01.819 --> 00:29:02.859
 triangle is

00:29:02.859 --> 00:29:03.879
 broken

00:29:03.879 --> 00:29:04.720
 that fire

00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:05.200
 will begin

00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:05.980
 to dissipate

00:29:05.980 --> 00:29:10.960
 there's momentum

00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:11.620
 with our

00:29:11.620 --> 00:29:12.160
 actions

00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:14.579
 this is

00:29:14.579 --> 00:29:15.660
 a big

00:29:15.660 --> 00:29:16.240
 plug for

00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:16.720
 spiritual

00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:17.339
 disciplines

00:29:17.339 --> 00:29:17.860
 that help

00:29:17.860 --> 00:29:18.319
 us to

00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:19.420
 get in the

00:29:19.420 --> 00:29:20.019
 habit of

00:29:20.019 --> 00:29:20.640
 doing what

00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:21.140
 is right

00:29:21.140 --> 00:29:21.720
 according to

00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:22.160
 what God

00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:23.860
 has commanded

00:29:23.860 --> 00:29:24.140
 us

00:29:24.140 --> 00:29:24.660
 but it's not

00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:25.120
 an overnight

00:29:25.120 --> 00:29:25.480
 thing

00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:25.940
 it takes

00:29:25.940 --> 00:29:26.460
 time

00:29:26.460 --> 00:29:26.920
 it is like

00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:27.420
 a muscle

00:29:27.420 --> 00:29:27.759
 that you

00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:28.099
 have to

00:29:28.099 --> 00:29:28.460
 work

00:29:28.460 --> 00:29:30.660
 therefore

00:29:30.660 --> 00:29:31.640
 the apostle

00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:32.039
 Paul

00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:33.299
 is saying

00:29:33.299 --> 00:29:33.640
 that there

00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:34.480
 is hope

00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:35.180
 for victory

00:29:35.180 --> 00:29:35.940
 over sin

00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:36.259
 and for

00:29:36.259 --> 00:29:36.620
 growth

00:29:36.620 --> 00:29:36.920
 in our

00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:37.259
 ability

00:29:37.259 --> 00:29:37.700
 to live

00:29:37.700 --> 00:29:38.299
 selflessly

00:29:38.299 --> 00:29:39.539
 to love

00:29:39.539 --> 00:29:39.840
 God

00:29:39.840 --> 00:29:40.160
 with all

00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:40.279
 our

00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:40.539
 heart

00:29:40.539 --> 00:29:40.920
 soul

00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:41.640
 mind

00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:41.779
 and

00:29:41.779 --> 00:29:42.039
 strength

00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:42.320
 and

00:29:42.320 --> 00:29:43.539
 often

00:29:43.539 --> 00:29:43.920
 what we'll

00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:44.220
 see

00:29:44.220 --> 00:29:45.240
 the most

00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:45.440
 of

00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:45.900
 is to

00:29:45.900 --> 00:29:46.360
 love our

00:29:46.360 --> 00:29:46.620
 neighbor

00:29:46.620 --> 00:29:46.920
 as

00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:47.400
 ourselves

00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:49.580
 to love

00:29:49.580 --> 00:29:50.180
 selflessly

00:29:50.180 --> 00:29:50.940
 like Christ

00:29:50.940 --> 00:29:52.160
 to serve

00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:52.539
 others

00:29:52.539 --> 00:29:52.900
 and be

00:29:52.900 --> 00:29:53.460
 used by

00:29:53.460 --> 00:29:53.779
 God

00:29:53.779 --> 00:29:54.140
 to bring

00:29:54.140 --> 00:29:54.320
 his

00:29:54.320 --> 00:29:54.720
 peace

00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:54.900
 and

00:29:54.900 --> 00:29:55.220
 blessing

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:55.600
 to our

00:29:55.600 --> 00:29:55.900
 homes

00:29:55.900 --> 00:29:56.180
 and our

00:29:56.180 --> 00:29:56.500
 work

00:29:56.500 --> 00:29:57.860
 and it

00:29:57.860 --> 00:29:58.100
 will

00:29:58.100 --> 00:29:58.740
 soon

00:29:58.740 --> 00:29:59.019
 we'll

00:29:59.019 --> 00:29:59.320
 find

00:29:59.320 --> 00:29:59.700
 become

00:29:59.700 --> 00:30:00.299
 a joy

00:30:00.299 --> 00:30:00.620
 and not

00:30:00.620 --> 00:30:01.000
 a burden

00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:02.460
 the second

00:30:02.460 --> 00:30:02.740
 thing

00:30:02.740 --> 00:30:04.880
 is that

00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:05.259
 we must

00:30:05.259 --> 00:30:06.539
 consciously

00:30:06.539 --> 00:30:07.220
 choose to

00:30:07.220 --> 00:30:07.619
 walk in

00:30:07.619 --> 00:30:07.799
 this

00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:08.099
 righteous

00:30:08.099 --> 00:30:08.579
 life

00:30:08.579 --> 00:30:09.220
 again

00:30:09.220 --> 00:30:10.019
 verse 19

00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:10.519
 Paul says

00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:10.940
 that we are

00:30:10.940 --> 00:30:11.660
 to present

00:30:11.660 --> 00:30:12.480
 our members

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:13.799
 our entire

00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:14.420
 selves

00:30:14.420 --> 00:30:15.259
 our appetites

00:30:15.259 --> 00:30:15.680
 our desires

00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:16.299
 everything that

00:30:16.299 --> 00:30:16.859
 makes us

00:30:16.859 --> 00:30:17.259
 us

00:30:17.259 --> 00:30:18.579
 we need to

00:30:18.579 --> 00:30:19.379
 present these

00:30:19.379 --> 00:30:20.259
 to our new

00:30:20.259 --> 00:30:20.680
 master

00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:21.200
 and it's an

00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:22.319
 ongoing action

00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:22.779
 that we need

00:30:22.779 --> 00:30:23.200
 to do

00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:25.240
 thirdly

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:26.839
 such action

00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:27.559
 finds its

00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:28.019
 end

00:30:28.019 --> 00:30:28.539
 or its

00:30:28.539 --> 00:30:29.119
 telos

00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:29.539
 or its

00:30:29.539 --> 00:30:30.259
 ultimate

00:30:30.259 --> 00:30:31.579
 objective

00:30:31.579 --> 00:30:32.339
 in heaven

00:30:32.339 --> 00:30:33.740
 which means

00:30:33.740 --> 00:30:34.379
 that the

00:30:34.379 --> 00:30:34.859
 things

00:30:34.859 --> 00:30:35.899
 we do

00:30:35.899 --> 00:30:36.559
 for christ

00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:38.179
 the righteous

00:30:38.179 --> 00:30:38.779
 actions

00:30:38.779 --> 00:30:39.279
 that we

00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:39.839
 embrace

00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:40.220
 the things

00:30:40.220 --> 00:30:40.579
 we say

00:30:40.579 --> 00:30:41.159
 yes to

00:30:41.159 --> 00:30:41.480
 that are

00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:42.099
 holy

00:30:42.099 --> 00:30:42.720
 and good

00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:44.519
 that turn

00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:45.720
 the turning

00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:46.279
 from sin

00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:46.539
 and the

00:30:46.539 --> 00:30:46.759
 turning

00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:48.339
 to god

00:30:48.339 --> 00:30:48.899
 it has

00:30:48.899 --> 00:30:49.399
 eternal

00:30:49.399 --> 00:30:50.259
 significance

00:30:50.259 --> 00:30:51.980
 we spend

00:30:51.980 --> 00:30:52.639
 our time

00:30:52.639 --> 00:30:53.059
 in this

00:30:53.059 --> 00:30:53.559
 life

00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:54.379
 working

00:30:54.379 --> 00:30:55.459
 to curate

00:30:55.459 --> 00:30:56.859
 the best

00:30:56.859 --> 00:30:57.439
 possible

00:30:57.439 --> 00:30:57.859
 life

00:30:57.859 --> 00:30:58.179
 that we

00:30:58.179 --> 00:30:58.799
 can have

00:30:58.799 --> 00:30:59.819
 to have

00:30:59.819 --> 00:31:00.519
 the best

00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:01.240
 experiences

00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:01.740
 the best

00:31:01.740 --> 00:31:02.160
 enjoyment

00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:02.620
 but this

00:31:02.620 --> 00:31:03.079
 life is

00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:03.500
 fleeting

00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:04.140
 i said

00:31:04.140 --> 00:31:04.400
 in the

00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:04.640
 early

00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:05.120
 service

00:31:05.120 --> 00:31:07.319
 earlier

00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:07.599
 this

00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:07.920
 morning

00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:08.920
 i'm not

00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:09.299
 sure my

00:31:09.299 --> 00:31:09.819
 children know

00:31:09.819 --> 00:31:10.599
 my grandfather's

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:10.779
 name

00:31:10.779 --> 00:31:12.900
 i don't think

00:31:12.900 --> 00:31:13.259
 they do

00:31:13.259 --> 00:31:14.120
 and the

00:31:14.120 --> 00:31:15.019
 likelihood is

00:31:15.019 --> 00:31:15.920
 in four

00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:16.400
 generations

00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:16.880
 they might

00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:17.259
 not know

00:31:17.259 --> 00:31:17.680
 your name

00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:19.759
 your children

00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:21.400
 your nieces

00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:21.980
 your nephews

00:31:21.980 --> 00:31:22.359
 the next

00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:22.880
 generation

00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:24.359
 life is

00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:24.759
 fleeting

00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:25.319
 okay

00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:25.960
 life is

00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:26.299
 fleeting

00:31:26.299 --> 00:31:26.900
 it's here

00:31:26.900 --> 00:31:27.279
 today

00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:28.319
 it's gone

00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:28.960
 tomorrow

00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:29.539
 and yet

00:31:29.539 --> 00:31:30.019
 we spend

00:31:30.019 --> 00:31:30.599
 all of

00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:31.200
 this time

00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:31.779
 in it

00:31:31.779 --> 00:31:34.140
 paul is

00:31:34.140 --> 00:31:34.640
 saying that

00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:35.259
 it's actually

00:31:35.259 --> 00:31:35.900
 the life

00:31:35.900 --> 00:31:36.380
 to come

00:31:36.380 --> 00:31:36.660
 is what

00:31:36.660 --> 00:31:36.960
 we need

00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:37.279
 to think

00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:37.460
 about

00:31:37.460 --> 00:31:37.779
 because

00:31:37.779 --> 00:31:38.019
 the

00:31:38.019 --> 00:31:38.980
 things

00:31:38.980 --> 00:31:39.440
 that we

00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:39.980
 say yes

00:31:39.980 --> 00:31:40.380
 to the

00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:40.740
 righteous

00:31:40.740 --> 00:31:41.240
 life

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:42.039
 will pour

00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:42.559
 into

00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:43.200
 eternity

00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:46.640
 just consider

00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:47.120
 this for a

00:31:47.120 --> 00:31:47.299
 moment

00:31:47.299 --> 00:31:47.900
 in christ

00:31:47.900 --> 00:31:48.240
 a new

00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:48.700
 reality

00:31:48.700 --> 00:31:49.140
 has been

00:31:49.140 --> 00:31:49.340
 given

00:31:49.340 --> 00:31:49.860
 to us

00:31:49.860 --> 00:31:51.240
 that frees

00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:51.720
 us from

00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:52.059
 a life

00:31:52.059 --> 00:31:52.640
 of selfish

00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:53.220
 ambition

00:31:53.220 --> 00:31:54.080
 and conceit

00:31:54.080 --> 00:31:55.100
 a life

00:31:55.100 --> 00:31:55.400
 in which

00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:55.660
 god

00:31:55.660 --> 00:31:56.200
 himself

00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:56.700
 gives us

00:31:56.700 --> 00:31:57.080
 strength

00:31:57.080 --> 00:31:57.620
 to grow

00:31:57.620 --> 00:31:58.200
 in holiness

00:31:58.200 --> 00:31:59.000
 and righteousness

00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:00.420
 so that

00:32:00.420 --> 00:32:01.240
 what we

00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:01.619
 do

00:32:01.619 --> 00:32:02.500
 in this

00:32:02.500 --> 00:32:02.880
 fleeting

00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:03.200
 life

00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:03.660
 will have

00:32:03.660 --> 00:32:04.140
 eternal

00:32:04.140 --> 00:32:04.779
 significance

00:32:04.779 --> 00:32:05.240
 is this

00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:05.619
 not what

00:32:05.619 --> 00:32:05.799
 we're

00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:06.119
 after

00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:07.380
 expressive

00:32:07.380 --> 00:32:08.299
 individualism

00:32:08.299 --> 00:32:09.059
 promises it

00:32:09.059 --> 00:32:09.740
 but it

00:32:09.740 --> 00:32:10.700
 never delivers

00:32:10.700 --> 00:32:11.180
 no amount

00:32:11.180 --> 00:32:11.640
 of money

00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:12.180
 or job

00:32:12.180 --> 00:32:12.740
 security

00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:14.180
 style

00:32:14.180 --> 00:32:15.279
 prestige

00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:16.920
 a self

00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:17.500
 curated

00:32:17.500 --> 00:32:18.259
 identity

00:32:18.259 --> 00:32:19.000
 can deliver

00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:19.960
 eternal

00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:20.680
 life

00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:21.240
 eternal

00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:21.940
 happiness

00:32:21.940 --> 00:32:25.600
 you see

00:32:25.600 --> 00:32:25.940
 that kind

00:32:25.940 --> 00:32:26.279
 of freedom

00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:26.880
 is indeed

00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:27.400
 slavery

00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:28.840
 and it's

00:32:28.840 --> 00:32:29.720
 an anti

00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:30.860
 sanctifying

00:32:30.860 --> 00:32:31.460
 slavery

00:32:31.460 --> 00:32:32.180
 it does

00:32:32.180 --> 00:32:32.640
 not make

00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:33.059
 us more

00:32:33.059 --> 00:32:33.400
 holy

00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:34.519
 but less

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:36.759
 we do

00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:37.360
 not become

00:32:37.360 --> 00:32:38.480
 useful

00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:39.240
 to god

00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:39.620
 or a

00:32:39.620 --> 00:32:39.940
 blessing

00:32:39.940 --> 00:32:40.600
 to others

00:32:40.600 --> 00:32:41.160
 rather we

00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:41.580
 become a

00:32:41.580 --> 00:32:41.920
 hindrance

00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:42.180
 and a

00:32:42.180 --> 00:32:42.600
 liability

00:32:42.600 --> 00:32:44.960
 let's end

00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:45.519
 with this

00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:47.259
 sin will

00:32:47.259 --> 00:32:47.759
 cost us

00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:48.160
 everything

00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:49.640
 if we

00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:50.620
 continue to

00:32:50.620 --> 00:32:51.140
 engage in

00:32:51.140 --> 00:32:51.279
 it

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:52.980
 it promises

00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:53.700
 us

00:32:53.700 --> 00:32:54.500
 significance

00:32:54.500 --> 00:32:55.000
 but it

00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:55.759
 robs us

00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:56.200
 of the

00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:56.799
 opportunity

00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:57.599
 for eternal

00:32:57.599 --> 00:32:58.259
 significance

00:32:58.259 --> 00:33:00.099
 we are

00:33:00.099 --> 00:33:00.639
 duped into

00:33:00.639 --> 00:33:01.180
 thinking we

00:33:01.180 --> 00:33:02.700
 will be

00:33:02.700 --> 00:33:03.299
 useful

00:33:03.299 --> 00:33:04.740
 and necessary

00:33:04.740 --> 00:33:05.299
 and we

00:33:05.299 --> 00:33:05.700
 end up

00:33:05.700 --> 00:33:06.500
 using others

00:33:06.500 --> 00:33:07.119
 to bolster

00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:07.839
 our sense

00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:08.920
 of worth

00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:09.579
 it promises

00:33:09.579 --> 00:33:10.160
 a free

00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:10.680
 reward

00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:11.500
 but pays

00:33:11.500 --> 00:33:11.940
 us a

00:33:11.940 --> 00:33:12.379
 wage

00:33:12.379 --> 00:33:13.039
 of death

00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:13.759
 and friends

00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:14.139
 sin

00:33:14.139 --> 00:33:15.259
 always

00:33:15.259 --> 00:33:15.899
 pays

00:33:15.899 --> 00:33:16.619
 on time

00:33:16.619 --> 00:33:17.420
 and in

00:33:17.420 --> 00:33:17.660
 full

00:33:17.660 --> 00:33:19.759
 but consider

00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:20.519
 slavery to

00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:20.960
 Christ

00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:22.620
 on the

00:33:22.620 --> 00:33:22.759
 other

00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:23.120
 hand

00:33:23.120 --> 00:33:23.579
 we have

00:33:23.579 --> 00:33:23.819
 this

00:33:23.819 --> 00:33:24.720
 wonderful

00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:25.180
 offer

00:33:25.180 --> 00:33:25.559
 of being

00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:26.360
 enslaved

00:33:26.360 --> 00:33:26.579
 to

00:33:26.579 --> 00:33:26.880
 Christ

00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:27.460
 but it's

00:33:27.460 --> 00:33:28.039
 very clear

00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:28.400
 here that

00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:28.840
 Paul says

00:33:28.840 --> 00:33:29.299
 it is

00:33:29.299 --> 00:33:29.700
 freedom

00:33:29.700 --> 00:33:30.200
 it leads

00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:30.420
 to

00:33:30.420 --> 00:33:31.380
 sanctification

00:33:31.380 --> 00:33:32.019
 it leads

00:33:32.019 --> 00:33:32.259
 to our

00:33:32.259 --> 00:33:32.700
 growth

00:33:32.700 --> 00:33:33.340
 and righteousness

00:33:33.340 --> 00:33:34.500
 and holiness

00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:35.759
 and ultimately

00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:36.259
 leads to

00:33:36.259 --> 00:33:36.920
 eternal life

00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:38.539
 and it

00:33:38.539 --> 00:33:38.900
 cannot be

00:33:38.900 --> 00:33:39.240
 enjoyed

00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:39.799
 apart from

00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:40.240
 Christ

00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:40.779
 okay

00:33:40.779 --> 00:33:42.299
 we find

00:33:42.299 --> 00:33:42.579
 that the

00:33:42.579 --> 00:33:42.940
 promise

00:33:42.940 --> 00:33:43.519
 is not

00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:43.940
 linked to

00:33:43.940 --> 00:33:44.360
 an idea

00:33:44.360 --> 00:33:44.740
 but to

00:33:44.740 --> 00:33:45.279
 a person

00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:46.539
 and that

00:33:46.539 --> 00:33:46.940
 person

00:33:46.940 --> 00:33:48.019
 has gone

00:33:48.019 --> 00:33:48.900
 before us

00:33:48.900 --> 00:33:49.960
 and we

00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:50.259
 will be

00:33:50.259 --> 00:33:50.860
 with him

00:33:50.860 --> 00:33:51.600
 forever

00:33:51.600 --> 00:33:52.820
 and ever

00:33:52.820 --> 00:33:53.600
 and ever

00:33:53.600 --> 00:33:55.340
 he is the

00:33:55.340 --> 00:33:55.660
 one who

00:33:55.660 --> 00:33:56.620
 purifies us

00:33:56.620 --> 00:33:57.740
 so that we

00:33:57.740 --> 00:33:58.280
 become

00:33:58.280 --> 00:33:59.320
 in this

00:33:59.320 --> 00:33:59.680
 life

00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:00.000
 what we

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:00.640
 will be

00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:02.140
 for eternity

00:34:02.140 --> 00:34:03.540
 it's quite the

00:34:03.540 --> 00:34:03.820
 offer

00:34:03.820 --> 00:34:05.500
 and it's all

00:34:05.500 --> 00:34:06.140
 because what

00:34:06.140 --> 00:34:06.660
 we've seen in

00:34:06.660 --> 00:34:07.160
 the previous

00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:08.039
 chapter

00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:09.200
 is that God

00:34:09.200 --> 00:34:10.119
 in Christ

00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:11.160
 unites himself

00:34:11.160 --> 00:34:11.720
 to us

00:34:11.720 --> 00:34:12.380
 he doesn't

00:34:12.380 --> 00:34:12.700
 say hey

00:34:12.700 --> 00:34:13.019
 listen

00:34:13.019 --> 00:34:14.000
 climb

00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:16.000
 the endless

00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:16.460
 ladder

00:34:16.460 --> 00:34:16.980
 to heaven

00:34:16.980 --> 00:34:17.860
 and then

00:34:17.860 --> 00:34:18.179
 you can

00:34:18.179 --> 00:34:18.960
 be united

00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:19.320
 with me

00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:20.159
 he comes

00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:20.579
 down

00:34:20.579 --> 00:34:21.420
 and he

00:34:21.420 --> 00:34:22.019
 scoops us

00:34:22.019 --> 00:34:22.460
 up into

00:34:22.460 --> 00:34:22.880
 himself

00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:26.460
 and all

00:34:26.460 --> 00:34:26.760
 of this

00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:27.019
 friends

00:34:27.019 --> 00:34:27.300
 is a

00:34:27.300 --> 00:34:27.579
 gift

00:34:27.579 --> 00:34:29.400
 it is

00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:30.420
 grace

00:34:30.420 --> 00:34:31.000
 itself

00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:32.059
 let's read

00:34:32.059 --> 00:34:32.800
 this last

00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:33.619
 verse

00:34:33.619 --> 00:34:34.440
 verse 23

00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:35.780
 for the wages

00:34:35.780 --> 00:34:36.480
 of sin is

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:36.780
 death

00:34:36.780 --> 00:34:37.539
 but the

00:34:37.539 --> 00:34:38.559
 free gift

00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:39.039
 of God

00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:39.519
 is eternal

00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:39.940
 life

00:34:39.940 --> 00:34:41.480

00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:42.079

00:34:44.839 --> 00:34:45.619
 a gift

00:34:45.619 --> 00:34:46.079

00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:46.460
 gives

00:34:46.460 --> 00:34:46.980
 and it is
