00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.980
 Verse 13.

00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:09.339
 Let's hear God's word.

00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:16.199
 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.

00:00:17.620 --> 00:00:22.000
 But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature,

00:00:22.859 --> 00:00:24.920
 rather serve one another in love.

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.120
 The entire law is summed up in a single command.

00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.179
 Love your neighbour as yourself.

00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.280
 If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out,

00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.840
 or you will be destroyed by each other.

00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:44.700
 So I say, live by the Spirit,

00:00:45.019 --> 00:00:48.579
 and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

00:00:49.939 --> 00:00:53.359
 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit,

00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:56.960
 and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature.

00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.019
 They are in conflict with each other,

00:01:00.500 --> 00:01:03.500
 so that you do not do what you want.

00:01:04.819 --> 00:01:06.560
 But if you are led by the Spirit,

00:01:07.340 --> 00:01:08.780
 you are not under law.

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.519
 The acts of sinful nature are obvious.

00:01:13.179 --> 00:01:14.539
 Sexual immorality,

00:01:15.659 --> 00:01:17.239
 impurity and debauchery,

00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:19.859
 idolatry and witchcraft,

00:01:19.859 --> 00:01:21.079
 hatred,

00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:21.159
 hatred,

00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:22.799
 discord,

00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:24.379
 jealousy,

00:01:25.379 --> 00:01:26.599
 fits of rage,

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.280
 selfish ambition,

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:31.280
 dissensions,

00:01:31.939 --> 00:01:32.480
 functions,

00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:34.019
 and envy,

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:36.099
 drunkenness,

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:37.260
 orgies,

00:01:38.060 --> 00:01:38.840
 and the like.

00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:41.980
 I warn you, as I did before,

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.000
 that those who live like this

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.400
 will not inherit the kingdom of God.

00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.840
 But the fruit of the Spirit is love,

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:53.219
 joy,

00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:54.379
 peace,

00:01:54.859 --> 00:01:55.480
 patience,

00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:56.519
 kindness,

00:01:57.140 --> 00:01:57.500
 goodness,

00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:58.640
 faithfulness,

00:01:59.200 --> 00:01:59.760
 gentleness,

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:01.060
 and self-control.

00:02:01.939 --> 00:02:04.439
 Against such things there is no law.

00:02:05.780 --> 00:02:07.740
 Those who belong to Christ Jesus

00:02:07.739 --> 00:02:10.099
 have crucified the sinful nature

00:02:10.099 --> 00:02:11.859
 with its passions and desires.

00:02:13.180 --> 00:02:15.219
 Since we live by the Spirit,

00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.500
 let us keep in step with the Spirit.

00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:21.859
 Let us not become conceited,

00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:24.840
 provoking and envying each other.

00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:28.159
 Ralph, thank you.

00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:28.219
 Thank you.

00:02:37.740 --> 00:02:41.659
 Thank you.

00:02:42.060 --> 00:02:42.780
 Excuse me.

00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:43.400
 Thank you, Johnny.

00:02:43.600 --> 00:02:44.719
 Thanks for reading this morning

00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.219
 from Galatians for us.

00:02:49.320 --> 00:02:50.400
 Back in April,

00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:52.540
 the science magazine called

00:02:52.540 --> 00:02:53.879
 New Scientist

00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.700
 asked this question.

00:02:55.760 --> 00:02:56.700
 It was their lead article.

00:02:56.820 --> 00:02:57.879
 It was on their front page.

00:02:58.820 --> 00:03:00.939
 Who are you?

00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:03.780
 They looked at all kinds of ideas

00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:05.400
 about what makes you,

00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:06.320
 you,

00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:07.919
 what makes you uniquely you.

00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:10.459
 And the conclusion of the articles

00:03:10.459 --> 00:03:12.840
 is it's not actually your temperament

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:14.299
 or your personality

00:03:14.299 --> 00:03:16.139
 or your memories,

00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:17.620
 all the things that you've experienced

00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:19.379
 that make you truly you.

00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:20.979
 Actually,

00:03:21.060 --> 00:03:22.280
 when it comes down to it,

00:03:22.799 --> 00:03:25.479
 our perception of others

00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.199
 that we see

00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:28.799
 is that of the moral self

00:03:28.799 --> 00:03:29.879
 as being the true self,

00:03:29.959 --> 00:03:30.719
 which is kind of interesting.

00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.219
 So when we're asked

00:03:32.219 --> 00:03:32.780
 of when someone

00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:34.019
 has been true to themselves,

00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:35.459
 it's when they're being true

00:03:35.460 --> 00:03:37.340
 to their moral selves.

00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:38.500
 And this is what the article

00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:39.180
 was concluding.

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:41.379
 That's who we truly are,

00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.020
 apart from all of the other things.

00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:45.580
 So what it's really saying

00:03:45.580 --> 00:03:48.560
 is that moral behavior matters.

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:50.439
 The things we do

00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:51.540
 and the things we say

00:03:51.540 --> 00:03:53.200
 are like a window

00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:56.460
 onto a person's real self.

00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:57.740
 You see,

00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.480
 in an age of social media,

00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.340
 of self-promotion,

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:02.599
 of building your own identity

00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:04.319
 and different identity issues

00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:05.259
 that we struggle with,

00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:07.759
 we still continue to value

00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.259
 people who act

00:04:09.259 --> 00:04:11.699
 in line with their moral sense.

00:04:12.679 --> 00:04:14.459
 Hypocrisy is frowned upon

00:04:14.459 --> 00:04:17.039
 and freedom to be our true selves

00:04:17.039 --> 00:04:18.459
 is cherished.

00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:22.399
 And this recent scientific article

00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.019
 that focused on the moral self

00:04:24.019 --> 00:04:26.159
 as being that kind of a window

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:27.600
 onto the true self,

00:04:27.760 --> 00:04:29.240
 it's actually coming

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:30.200
 from a much,

00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:31.860
 much older source.

00:04:32.840 --> 00:04:33.140
 You see,

00:04:33.200 --> 00:04:33.760
 the Bible,

00:04:33.960 --> 00:04:35.460
 the Bible has always been

00:04:35.460 --> 00:04:36.280
 the great book

00:04:36.280 --> 00:04:38.060
 on the human condition.

00:04:38.300 --> 00:04:39.360
 It's always told us

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:40.220
 all that we need to know

00:04:40.220 --> 00:04:41.200
 about who we are.

00:04:41.620 --> 00:04:42.820
 And it tells us

00:04:42.820 --> 00:04:43.540
 the same thing,

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:44.620
 that the moral self

00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:45.460
 is a window

00:04:45.460 --> 00:04:46.500
 on the soul.

00:04:47.580 --> 00:04:48.680
 Look at these words

00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:49.440
 from Jesus,

00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.360
 from Luke chapter 6.

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.960
 Each tree is recognized

00:04:53.960 --> 00:04:55.080
 by its own fruit.

00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:57.020
 People do not pick figs

00:04:57.020 --> 00:04:57.840
 from thorn bushes

00:04:57.840 --> 00:04:59.860
 or grapes from briars.

00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.740
 A good man brings good things

00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:03.560
 out of the good

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:04.900
 stored up in his heart.

00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.180
 And an evil man

00:05:07.180 --> 00:05:08.439
 brings evil things

00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:09.199
 out of the evil

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:10.379
 stored up in his heart.

00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:12.860
 For the mouth speaks

00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:16.220
 what the heart is full of.

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:18.180
 And in some ways

00:05:18.180 --> 00:05:18.580
 you can say,

00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:19.080
 so far,

00:05:19.180 --> 00:05:19.560
 so good.

00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.379
 But for you

00:05:21.379 --> 00:05:22.240
 and for I

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:23.800
 and for many

00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:24.819
 attending churches

00:05:24.819 --> 00:05:25.639
 this morning,

00:05:25.819 --> 00:05:27.259
 there is a deep,

00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:28.360
 deep conflict

00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.319
 in our moral center.

00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:32.079
 On the one hand,

00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:33.060
 we know the good

00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:34.920
 that we should do

00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:36.220
 and that we want to do.

00:05:37.019 --> 00:05:38.279
 Yet there is a struggle,

00:05:38.459 --> 00:05:39.840
 a struggle as a Christian,

00:05:39.939 --> 00:05:40.579
 as a believer,

00:05:40.699 --> 00:05:41.920
 as a follower of Jesus,

00:05:42.379 --> 00:05:44.379
 when we do not obey Jesus

00:05:44.379 --> 00:05:46.420
 and when we do not

00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:47.600
 honor him.

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.560
 Put very simply,

00:05:49.820 --> 00:05:50.320
 Christians,

00:05:50.580 --> 00:05:51.300
 this is not going to be

00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:51.920
 a shock to anyone,

00:05:52.100 --> 00:05:53.760
 Christians continue to sin.

00:05:55.460 --> 00:05:56.920
 The core of the New Scientist

00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:57.640
 magazine article

00:05:57.640 --> 00:05:58.900
 focused in actually

00:05:58.900 --> 00:06:00.020
 on this very conflict,

00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:00.660
 very interesting,

00:06:01.260 --> 00:06:02.640
 even as it relates

00:06:02.640 --> 00:06:04.600
 to professing Christians,

00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:06.020
 this struggle of identity

00:06:06.020 --> 00:06:08.080
 of who the true self is.

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.000
 And this is a quote

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:10.860
 from the article.

00:06:11.300 --> 00:06:11.980
 I've just clarified

00:06:11.980 --> 00:06:13.220
 a few things towards the end

00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:14.220
 and that's the bit in brackets.

00:06:14.220 --> 00:06:16.460
 In the 1980s,

00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:17.620
 evangelical Christian

00:06:17.620 --> 00:06:18.360
 Mark Pierpont,

00:06:18.500 --> 00:06:19.880
 he traveled the world

00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:21.660
 preaching that homosexuality

00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:22.340
 was a sin

00:06:22.340 --> 00:06:24.060
 and promoting ways

00:06:24.060 --> 00:06:25.600
 to resist gay urges.

00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:27.000
 For him,

00:06:27.020 --> 00:06:27.740
 it was a deeply

00:06:27.740 --> 00:06:29.360
 personal quest.

00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:31.520
 He himself was wracked

00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:32.620
 by the very yearnings

00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:33.820
 he sought to excise

00:06:33.820 --> 00:06:34.460
 from others.

00:06:34.980 --> 00:06:35.840
 And it was a contradiction

00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:37.080
 he openly acknowledged.

00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:39.380
 So here's the question.

00:06:39.379 --> 00:06:42.680
 Which of Pierpont's attitudes

00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.480
 reflected his true self?

00:06:48.219 --> 00:06:48.980
 Was his message

00:06:48.980 --> 00:06:49.819
 about the sinfulness

00:06:49.819 --> 00:06:50.860
 of homosexuality

00:06:50.860 --> 00:06:51.519
 a betrayal

00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:53.339
 of his essential gay self?

00:06:53.779 --> 00:06:54.879
 Or did that message

00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:55.920
 reflect what he was

00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:56.540
 deep down?

00:06:56.939 --> 00:06:57.259
 That is,

00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.259
 a Christian freed

00:06:58.259 --> 00:06:59.240
 from distorting

00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.600
 sinful urges.

00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:03.219
 It's a good question,

00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:03.519
 isn't it?

00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:04.600
 Which one reflects

00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.899
 the true self?

00:07:06.899 --> 00:07:09.599
 As we come to Galatians,

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:11.279
 Paul is writing

00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:12.179
 to churches

00:07:12.179 --> 00:07:13.479
 in the area of Galatia,

00:07:13.579 --> 00:07:14.279
 local churches,

00:07:14.659 --> 00:07:15.539
 in many ways

00:07:15.539 --> 00:07:16.899
 just like the church here,

00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:18.259
 and to Christians

00:07:18.259 --> 00:07:19.239
 in those churches

00:07:19.239 --> 00:07:20.539
 to free them

00:07:20.539 --> 00:07:23.339
 to be their true self.

00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:25.459
 And they need to be freed

00:07:25.459 --> 00:07:27.379
 from two forms of slavery.

00:07:28.039 --> 00:07:29.299
 Two forms of slavery.

00:07:29.479 --> 00:07:30.519
 Slavery to sin

00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:32.979
 and slavery to legalism.

00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:35.039
 Look back at chapter 3

00:07:35.039 --> 00:07:36.279
 and verse 22.

00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:37.479
 Which will help

00:07:37.479 --> 00:07:38.299
 to give some context

00:07:38.299 --> 00:07:40.179
 as we dive into chapter 5.

00:07:40.479 --> 00:07:41.119
 Chapter 3

00:07:41.119 --> 00:07:42.339
 and verse 22

00:07:42.339 --> 00:07:43.699
 and 23.

00:07:44.979 --> 00:07:46.279
 Page 1170.

00:07:46.559 --> 00:07:47.579
 But the scripture declares

00:07:47.579 --> 00:07:48.819
 that the whole world

00:07:48.819 --> 00:07:50.859
 is a prisoner of sin.

00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:53.179
 So that what was promised,

00:07:53.379 --> 00:07:54.559
 being given through faith

00:07:54.559 --> 00:07:55.519
 in Jesus Christ,

00:07:55.659 --> 00:07:56.319
 might be given

00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:57.779
 to those who believe.

00:07:58.779 --> 00:08:00.179
 Before this faith came,

00:08:00.239 --> 00:08:01.139
 the promise of faith,

00:08:01.379 --> 00:08:02.519
 we were held prisoners

00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:03.619
 by the law,

00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:05.079
 locked up,

00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.279
 until faith should be revealed.

00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:09.339
 So the whole world

00:08:09.339 --> 00:08:10.019
 is imprisoned

00:08:10.019 --> 00:08:11.719
 by the law.

00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:13.719
 Now the law was given

00:08:13.719 --> 00:08:15.219
 to highlight sin,

00:08:15.659 --> 00:08:17.620
 to keep society in order,

00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:19.279
 and to keep sinful practice

00:08:20.159 --> 00:08:20.699
 at bay.

00:08:21.299 --> 00:08:23.459
 But apart from faith in Jesus,

00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:25.539
 both the law and sin

00:08:25.539 --> 00:08:27.039
 are enslaving people,

00:08:27.579 --> 00:08:28.759
 keeping them prisoners.

00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.079
 And then we come to

00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.120
 Galatians chapter 5

00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:34.299
 and verse 1

00:08:34.299 --> 00:08:35.919
 as Paul begins the section

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:37.340
 about freedom in Christ.

00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.299
 He writes right at the beginning

00:08:39.299 --> 00:08:39.919
 of chapter 5,

00:08:40.019 --> 00:08:40.840
 It is for freedom

00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:42.000
 that Christ

00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:43.899
 has set us free.

00:08:44.139 --> 00:08:44.960
 Echoing those words

00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:45.879
 that Johnny read earlier

00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:46.639
 from the Gospels,

00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:47.059
 Jesus,

00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:47.980
 the call of Jesus

00:08:47.980 --> 00:08:48.939
 to be free.

00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:50.779
 Paul says,

00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:51.819
 Stand firm then

00:08:51.819 --> 00:08:52.939
 and do not let yourselves

00:08:52.939 --> 00:08:54.340
 be burdened again

00:08:54.340 --> 00:08:55.819
 by a yoke of slavery.

00:08:55.820 --> 00:08:57.560
 Paul is saying that

00:08:57.560 --> 00:08:58.960
 Christ came

00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.120
 to give us freedom.

00:09:02.300 --> 00:09:03.760
 Stand in that freedom

00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:05.280
 and do not be imprisoned

00:09:05.280 --> 00:09:06.340
 all over again.

00:09:06.800 --> 00:09:07.640
 It's a call to live

00:09:07.640 --> 00:09:09.100
 truly free lives.

00:09:09.640 --> 00:09:10.820
 And leads us up to

00:09:10.820 --> 00:09:12.140
 our key verse this morning,

00:09:12.280 --> 00:09:14.340
 which is verse 13.

00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:17.960
 You, my brothers and sisters,

00:09:18.139 --> 00:09:20.759
 were called to be free.

00:09:21.780 --> 00:09:23.300
 But do not use your freedom

00:09:23.300 --> 00:09:25.639
 to indulge the sinful nature.

00:09:25.780 --> 00:09:28.180
 Rather, serve one another

00:09:28.180 --> 00:09:29.360
 in love.

00:09:31.060 --> 00:09:32.300
 In verse 13,

00:09:32.580 --> 00:09:33.940
 I think there's three things

00:09:33.940 --> 00:09:35.540
 that we see clearly

00:09:35.540 --> 00:09:36.300
 and we want to look

00:09:36.300 --> 00:09:37.000
 at each one of them

00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:37.460
 this morning

00:09:37.460 --> 00:09:38.280
 a little bit more

00:09:38.280 --> 00:09:39.259
 from the Scriptures.

00:09:39.820 --> 00:09:41.220
 The first is a statement

00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:42.139
 of freedom,

00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:43.240
 the call to be

00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:44.320
 our true selves.

00:09:44.340 --> 00:09:46.740
 The second is a warning

00:09:46.740 --> 00:09:48.060
 about sin.

00:09:48.780 --> 00:09:49.440
 And finally,

00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:51.040
 a call to serve others

00:09:51.040 --> 00:09:51.600
 in love.

00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:53.560
 Statement of freedom,

00:09:54.379 --> 00:09:55.780
 a warning about sin,

00:09:56.540 --> 00:09:58.680
 a call to serve others

00:09:58.680 --> 00:09:59.879
 in love.

00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:01.420
 Firstly,

00:10:01.560 --> 00:10:02.500
 the statement of freedom

00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:03.920
 is a call

00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:04.500
 and it's a call

00:10:04.500 --> 00:10:05.480
 to liberating

00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.399
 Christian freedom.

00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:08.519
 That's not a term

00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:09.320
 often associated

00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:10.040
 with Christianity.

00:10:10.340 --> 00:10:11.300
 Christianity is often seen

00:10:11.300 --> 00:10:12.120
 by the world

00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:13.019
 as a straitjacket,

00:10:13.019 --> 00:10:14.340
 but it is full

00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:15.120
 of this call

00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:15.819
 to freedom

00:10:15.819 --> 00:10:17.360
 and a freedom

00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:18.259
 that is based

00:10:18.259 --> 00:10:19.419
 foundationally

00:10:19.419 --> 00:10:20.919
 on our identity,

00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:22.220
 who we are,

00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:23.799
 our true selves,

00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:25.039
 our authentic selves.

00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:27.000
 Paul reminds the church

00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:27.559
 in Galatia

00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.340
 that their identity

00:10:29.340 --> 00:10:30.620
 has been aligned

00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:33.299
 with that of Jesus Christ,

00:10:33.460 --> 00:10:35.019
 what he has done,

00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:36.960
 who he is.

00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:38.420
 As they say,

00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:39.500
 the clue is in the name.

00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:40.580
 Christian,

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.220
 Christ's ones,

00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:44.340
 those who are in Christ.

00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:45.800
 That's what Christian means,

00:10:45.860 --> 00:10:46.920
 a follower of Jesus,

00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:48.220
 to be in Christ.

00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:51.480
 The basis for identity

00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:52.720
 as a Christian,

00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:53.580
 as a Christ follower

00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:55.280
 is in Christ.

00:10:55.420 --> 00:10:56.200
 And I think we see that

00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:57.280
 quite clearly actually

00:10:57.280 --> 00:10:58.160
 a few verses earlier

00:10:58.160 --> 00:10:59.019
 in verse 6,

00:11:00.019 --> 00:11:01.680
 chapter 5 and verse 6,

00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.639
 for in Christ Jesus,

00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:05.099
 neither circumcision

00:11:05.099 --> 00:11:06.139
 nor uncircumcision

00:11:06.139 --> 00:11:07.120
 has any value.

00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:08.339
 The only thing

00:11:08.339 --> 00:11:08.859
 that counts

00:11:08.859 --> 00:11:09.539
 is faith

00:11:09.539 --> 00:11:11.239
 expressing itself

00:11:11.239 --> 00:11:12.039
 through love.

00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:13.939
 You see the language

00:11:13.939 --> 00:11:15.319
 there in verse 6,

00:11:15.659 --> 00:11:17.099
 in Christ Jesus,

00:11:17.259 --> 00:11:18.299
 identity language,

00:11:18.439 --> 00:11:19.979
 identifying with Jesus.

00:11:21.379 --> 00:11:22.219
 And we read then

00:11:22.219 --> 00:11:23.859
 that to be in Christ Jesus

00:11:23.859 --> 00:11:25.139
 neither circumcision

00:11:25.139 --> 00:11:27.159
 nor uncircumcision

00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:27.740
 counts.

00:11:27.939 --> 00:11:28.679
 And what circumcision,

00:11:28.819 --> 00:11:29.339
 you can kind of think

00:11:29.340 --> 00:11:29.980
 of circumcision

00:11:29.980 --> 00:11:31.639
 as law keeping,

00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:32.519
 as rule keeping,

00:11:32.660 --> 00:11:34.759
 as keeping the regulations,

00:11:35.060 --> 00:11:35.940
 keeping the rituals,

00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:36.879
 keeping the traditions.

00:11:37.540 --> 00:11:38.300
 And then we can think

00:11:38.300 --> 00:11:39.379
 of uncircumcision

00:11:39.379 --> 00:11:40.600
 as casting aside

00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:41.379
 the moral law,

00:11:41.800 --> 00:11:42.780
 casting aside

00:11:42.780 --> 00:11:44.019
 those regulations

00:11:44.019 --> 00:11:44.820
 and living as if

00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:45.780
 there was no law.

00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:47.620
 What Paul is saying

00:11:47.620 --> 00:11:49.280
 neither circumcision,

00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.160
 law keeping on one hand,

00:11:51.280 --> 00:11:53.700
 nor uncircumcision,

00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:55.980
 which is licentiousness

00:11:55.980 --> 00:11:57.000
 or living for self

00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:58.200
 or ignoring the law,

00:11:58.200 --> 00:11:59.800
 neither of those

00:11:59.800 --> 00:12:01.400
 have any value.

00:12:01.520 --> 00:12:02.560
 No, the only thing

00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:03.140
 that matters

00:12:03.140 --> 00:12:04.500
 is faith,

00:12:04.660 --> 00:12:05.200
 verse 6.

00:12:05.860 --> 00:12:06.580
 And Jesus says

00:12:06.580 --> 00:12:07.400
 that's a faith

00:12:07.400 --> 00:12:09.120
 that expresses itself

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.160
 through love.

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:12.560
 A love for God

00:12:12.560 --> 00:12:13.720
 and a love for others.

00:12:15.300 --> 00:12:17.680
 So to be in Christ,

00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:18.780
 that great language

00:12:18.780 --> 00:12:19.420
 in verse 6,

00:12:19.460 --> 00:12:20.180
 and you see it all

00:12:20.180 --> 00:12:21.100
 through the New Testament,

00:12:21.800 --> 00:12:22.580
 is to be united

00:12:22.580 --> 00:12:23.860
 to Him in faith

00:12:23.860 --> 00:12:24.500
 and that,

00:12:24.660 --> 00:12:26.000
 my brothers and sisters,

00:12:26.580 --> 00:12:27.780
 has changed forever.

00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:29.900
 how we are to identify

00:12:29.900 --> 00:12:31.940
 and how we are to live.

00:12:32.560 --> 00:12:35.759
 You are a new you.

00:12:36.280 --> 00:12:37.660
 You are a new you.

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:38.900
 The old has gone

00:12:38.900 --> 00:12:40.180
 and the new has come.

00:12:41.020 --> 00:12:42.240
 The authentic you

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:43.780
 has been wholly

00:12:43.780 --> 00:12:46.440
 and radically changed.

00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:48.060
 And this change

00:12:48.060 --> 00:12:48.700
 has come about

00:12:48.700 --> 00:12:49.920
 through Jesus' death

00:12:49.920 --> 00:12:51.680
 which rescues us

00:12:51.680 --> 00:12:52.900
 from sin.

00:12:53.420 --> 00:12:53.720
 Again,

00:12:53.760 --> 00:12:54.560
 we're just going to go

00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:55.680
 just one more time

00:12:55.680 --> 00:12:56.620
 back to the beginning

00:12:56.620 --> 00:12:58.840
 of Galatians chapter 1.

00:12:59.260 --> 00:13:00.440
 Galatians chapter 1

00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:01.960
 verses 3 to 5.

00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:03.180
 I think these are

00:13:03.180 --> 00:13:03.880
 great verses

00:13:03.880 --> 00:13:04.740
 to show that

00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:06.040
 this change

00:13:06.040 --> 00:13:06.940
 has been brought about

00:13:06.940 --> 00:13:08.960
 by Jesus' death.

00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:09.800
 Paul writing

00:13:09.800 --> 00:13:10.600
 right at the beginning

00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:12.300
 is setting the scene

00:13:12.300 --> 00:13:12.840
 for the book

00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:13.340
 and he says,

00:13:13.340 --> 00:13:14.660
 grace and peace

00:13:14.660 --> 00:13:15.000
 to you

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:15.800
 from God

00:13:15.800 --> 00:13:17.040
 our Father

00:13:17.040 --> 00:13:17.980
 and the Lord

00:13:17.980 --> 00:13:18.899
 Jesus Christ

00:13:18.899 --> 00:13:20.620
 and this Jesus

00:13:20.620 --> 00:13:22.759
 who gave himself

00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:24.200
 for our sins

00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:25.580
 to rescue us

00:13:25.580 --> 00:13:26.259
 from the present

00:13:26.259 --> 00:13:27.100
 evil age

00:13:27.100 --> 00:13:28.560
 according to the will

00:13:28.560 --> 00:13:29.320
 of our God

00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:29.800
 and Father

00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:30.740
 to whom be glory

00:13:30.740 --> 00:13:32.580
 forever and ever.

00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:33.340
 Amen.

00:13:33.340 --> 00:13:35.360
 We are rescued

00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:36.139
 from this age

00:13:36.139 --> 00:13:36.920
 rescued

00:13:36.920 --> 00:13:38.200
 from sin

00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:39.100
 we're rescued

00:13:39.100 --> 00:13:39.980
 from lawlessness

00:13:39.980 --> 00:13:41.460
 and we've been brought

00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:42.540
 into the kingdom

00:13:42.540 --> 00:13:44.639
 of God

00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.360
 and that's

00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:47.160
 because we've been

00:13:47.160 --> 00:13:48.660
 united through faith

00:13:48.660 --> 00:13:50.800
 by the Holy Spirit.

00:13:51.740 --> 00:13:52.980
 Our identity

00:13:52.980 --> 00:13:55.460
 our true selves

00:13:55.460 --> 00:13:57.240
 is now bound up

00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.300
 in who Jesus is

00:13:59.300 --> 00:14:01.100
 and what Jesus has done.

00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:02.480
 That's our new identity.

00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:03.420
 It's linked

00:14:03.420 --> 00:14:04.980
 inextricably linked

00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:06.320
 who we are

00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.220
 with who Jesus is

00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:10.480
 and a spirit changed

00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:10.899
 identity

00:14:10.899 --> 00:14:13.560
 is now the basis

00:14:13.560 --> 00:14:15.399
 for our true identity.

00:14:16.460 --> 00:14:17.899
 Back to Galatians 5

00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:18.460
 and this is where

00:14:18.460 --> 00:14:19.000
 we will spend

00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:20.560
 the rest of our time

00:14:20.560 --> 00:14:21.139
 this morning.

00:14:21.300 --> 00:14:22.700
 Galatians chapter 5

00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:24.960
 and verse 25

00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:27.980
 Since we live

00:14:27.980 --> 00:14:29.440
 by the Spirit

00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.200
 let us keep

00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:31.880
 in step

00:14:31.880 --> 00:14:33.440
 with the Spirit

00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.240
 since we've been

00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:36.140
 made alive

00:14:36.140 --> 00:14:36.940
 since we have

00:14:36.940 --> 00:14:37.740
 this new birth

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:39.440
 since we live

00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:40.900
 because of the Spirit

00:14:40.900 --> 00:14:41.840
 that's the basis

00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:42.820
 for our life

00:14:42.820 --> 00:14:45.100
 keep in step

00:14:45.100 --> 00:14:47.540
 with the Spirit

00:14:47.540 --> 00:14:48.860
 and we see

00:14:48.860 --> 00:14:49.520
 similar language

00:14:49.520 --> 00:14:50.460
 in verse 16

00:14:50.460 --> 00:14:51.240
 right at the beginning

00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:52.700
 so I say

00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:53.740
 live

00:14:53.740 --> 00:14:55.200
 by the Spirit

00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:56.740
 and just glance down

00:14:56.740 --> 00:14:57.640
 to verse 18

00:14:57.640 --> 00:14:59.500
 you are led

00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:00.700
 by

00:15:00.700 --> 00:15:02.080
 the Spirit

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:03.780
 Paul says

00:15:03.780 --> 00:15:04.680
 that the true believer

00:15:04.680 --> 00:15:05.860
 is led

00:15:05.860 --> 00:15:06.640
 by the Spirit

00:15:06.640 --> 00:15:07.040
 where

00:15:07.040 --> 00:15:08.280
 the Spirit

00:15:08.280 --> 00:15:08.840
 goes

00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:10.360
 we go

00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:11.900
 as we walk

00:15:11.900 --> 00:15:12.460
 and keep

00:15:12.460 --> 00:15:13.140
 in step

00:15:13.140 --> 00:15:13.740
 with Him

00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:15.360
 this is the Spirit

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.700
 led life

00:15:16.700 --> 00:15:17.540
 our new identity

00:15:17.539 --> 00:15:19.279
 so the call

00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:20.219
 to liberating

00:15:20.219 --> 00:15:21.240
 Christian freedom

00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:22.759
 is based

00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:24.379
 on your identity

00:15:24.379 --> 00:15:25.639
 your true self

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:26.959
 the authentic self

00:15:26.959 --> 00:15:29.019
 which is a person

00:15:29.019 --> 00:15:29.860
 who has been united

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:31.379
 to Christ

00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:33.419
 by faith

00:15:33.419 --> 00:15:36.079
 through the Holy Spirit

00:15:36.079 --> 00:15:36.919
 and so we have

00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:37.659
 this Spirit

00:15:37.659 --> 00:15:39.039
 led life

00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.480
 secondly

00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:42.899
 from verse 13

00:15:42.899 --> 00:15:43.439
 there is

00:15:43.439 --> 00:15:45.139
 there is a warning

00:15:45.139 --> 00:15:46.980
 there is a warning

00:15:46.980 --> 00:15:48.720
 do not use

00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:50.000
 your freedom

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:51.360
 for sin

00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.360
 our new identity

00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:54.060
 in Christ

00:15:54.060 --> 00:15:54.639
 means that we

00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:55.980
 follow the Spirit

00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:57.120
 and as a result

00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:58.399
 we begin to know

00:15:58.399 --> 00:15:59.420
 the desires

00:15:59.420 --> 00:16:00.519
 of the Spirit

00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:01.200
 we too

00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:02.259
 keep in step

00:16:02.259 --> 00:16:02.740
 with the Spirit

00:16:02.740 --> 00:16:03.580
 and begin to know

00:16:03.580 --> 00:16:04.139
 and desire

00:16:04.139 --> 00:16:04.980
 the same things

00:16:04.980 --> 00:16:05.700
 that the Spirit

00:16:05.700 --> 00:16:06.680
 of God

00:16:06.680 --> 00:16:07.399
 desires

00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:09.100
 verse 17

00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:11.039
 for the sinful nature

00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:11.920
 desires what is

00:16:11.920 --> 00:16:12.960
 contrary to the Spirit

00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:14.300
 and the Spirit

00:16:14.300 --> 00:16:15.720
 what is contrary

00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:16.740
 to the sinful nature

00:16:16.740 --> 00:16:18.039
 they are in conflict

00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:18.659
 with each other

00:16:18.659 --> 00:16:20.539
 so that you do not do

00:16:20.539 --> 00:16:22.560
 what you want

00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:26.340
 we know the desire

00:16:26.340 --> 00:16:27.299
 of the Spirit

00:16:27.299 --> 00:16:28.100
 a desire which is

00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:28.919
 contrary

00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:30.240
 to desires

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:31.320
 of sin

00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.180
 you see

00:16:33.180 --> 00:16:33.799
 the desire

00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:34.620
 of the Spirit

00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:36.519
 is always

00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.180
 away from sin

00:16:38.180 --> 00:16:39.299
 it's always

00:16:39.299 --> 00:16:40.240
 away from sin

00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:42.139
 and towards

00:16:42.139 --> 00:16:42.899
 obedience

00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:44.440
 in Jesus

00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:45.760
 the desire

00:16:45.760 --> 00:16:45.780
 the desire

00:16:45.780 --> 00:16:46.080
 of the Spirit

00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:46.620
 is away

00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:47.220
 from sin

00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:48.400
 and towards

00:16:48.400 --> 00:16:48.760
 Jesus

00:16:48.760 --> 00:16:49.600
 a Spirit

00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:51.200
 filled life

00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:52.020
 if you want to know

00:16:52.020 --> 00:16:52.560
 what a Spirit

00:16:52.560 --> 00:16:53.200
 filled life is

00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:53.600
 it's this

00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:54.360
 it's daily

00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:56.820
 turning from our sin

00:16:56.820 --> 00:16:59.420
 turning in repentance

00:16:59.420 --> 00:17:00.860
 from our sin

00:17:00.860 --> 00:17:02.080
 and turning towards

00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:03.060
 Jesus

00:17:03.060 --> 00:17:04.700
 in faith

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:06.400
 that's what a Spirit

00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:07.700
 filled life

00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:09.740
 we turn from the sin

00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:10.480
 that we read about

00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:11.019
 in verses

00:17:11.019 --> 00:17:12.960
 19 to 21

00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:14.019
 that long list

00:17:14.019 --> 00:17:16.079
 and instead

00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.100
 we begin to desire

00:17:18.100 --> 00:17:19.180
 the fruit

00:17:19.180 --> 00:17:20.620
 of the Spirit

00:17:20.620 --> 00:17:22.539
 verses 22 to 23

00:17:22.539 --> 00:17:23.039
 the great

00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:23.980
 contrast

00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:25.079
 against that list

00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:25.740
 of sins

00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:28.920
 and we can be free

00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:30.860
 we can be free

00:17:30.860 --> 00:17:32.400
 to turn from our sin

00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.279
 and turn to Christ

00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:35.279
 because of verse

00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:36.880
 24

00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:39.200
 verse 24 says

00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.200
 those who belong

00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:42.220
 to Christ Jesus

00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:43.700
 have crucified

00:17:43.700 --> 00:17:45.460
 the sinful nature

00:17:45.460 --> 00:17:48.580
 with its passions

00:17:48.580 --> 00:17:49.880
 and desires

00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:50.660
 you see

00:17:50.660 --> 00:17:52.819
 we belong to Christ

00:17:52.819 --> 00:17:54.660
 we now live by the Spirit

00:17:54.660 --> 00:17:55.580
 verse 25

00:17:55.580 --> 00:17:57.519
 and because we belong

00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:58.059
 to Christ

00:17:58.059 --> 00:17:59.360
 and we live by the Spirit

00:17:59.360 --> 00:18:00.319
 we can use this

00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:01.120
 new found freedom

00:18:01.120 --> 00:18:01.860
 from the law

00:18:01.860 --> 00:18:03.019
 and from sin

00:18:03.019 --> 00:18:04.160
 to walk

00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:05.080
 with

00:18:05.080 --> 00:18:06.640
 the Spirit

00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:10.820
 but we're not free

00:18:10.820 --> 00:18:12.740
 we're not free

00:18:12.740 --> 00:18:14.600
 I want to stand

00:18:14.600 --> 00:18:15.920
 as my authentic self

00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:16.960
 under this banner

00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:17.560
 of freedom

00:18:17.560 --> 00:18:20.040
 but I don't always

00:18:20.040 --> 00:18:20.720
 feel free

00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:22.440
 some days

00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:23.280
 I actually feel

00:18:23.280 --> 00:18:25.040
 trapped in my life

00:18:25.040 --> 00:18:25.460
 with its

00:18:25.460 --> 00:18:26.660
 competing demands

00:18:26.660 --> 00:18:27.680
 on one hand

00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:28.820
 I wish to love

00:18:28.820 --> 00:18:30.020
 Jesus

00:18:30.020 --> 00:18:31.840
 but on the other hand

00:18:31.840 --> 00:18:32.940
 I just want to focus

00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:33.540
 on me

00:18:33.540 --> 00:18:34.840
 and I want

00:18:34.840 --> 00:18:35.500
 and I need others

00:18:35.500 --> 00:18:36.280
 to look after me

00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.200
 and my needs

00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:40.000
 our freedom

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.460
 means that we can look

00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:42.759
 out from ourselves

00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:43.920
 that's what this freedom

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:44.799
 in Christ means

00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:46.019
 we can look out

00:18:46.019 --> 00:18:47.399
 from the true authentic self

00:18:47.399 --> 00:18:48.460
 and we can look outwards

00:18:48.460 --> 00:18:50.740
 but sin is still there

00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:52.200
 taking my love

00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:53.859
 and this is something

00:18:53.859 --> 00:18:54.660
 that Martin Luther

00:18:54.660 --> 00:18:55.259
 would say

00:18:55.259 --> 00:18:56.440
 or Augustine

00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:57.859
 they would say

00:18:57.859 --> 00:18:58.519
 and put it this way

00:18:58.519 --> 00:18:59.740
 it's taking that love

00:18:59.740 --> 00:19:00.839
 and it's in a sense

00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:01.779
 curving

00:19:01.779 --> 00:19:03.420
 that love

00:19:03.420 --> 00:19:04.779
 that we express

00:19:04.779 --> 00:19:05.740
 back in

00:19:05.740 --> 00:19:07.180
 on ourselves

00:19:07.180 --> 00:19:09.160
 and that love

00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:09.960
 that we want to express

00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:11.339
 is just curving

00:19:11.339 --> 00:19:12.440
 being bent

00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:14.579
 back into ourselves

00:19:14.579 --> 00:19:16.180
 as fundamentally

00:19:16.180 --> 00:19:17.299
 a self

00:19:17.299 --> 00:19:18.960
 love

00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:21.139
 it's as if

00:19:21.139 --> 00:19:21.980
 the true self

00:19:21.980 --> 00:19:24.000
 which is identified

00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:24.859
 now with the

00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:25.799
 spirit of God

00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:26.899
 is being

00:19:26.899 --> 00:19:27.740
 misdirected

00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:29.160
 as we want to live out

00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:29.879
 as we want to live out

00:19:29.879 --> 00:19:30.579
 our new identity

00:19:30.579 --> 00:19:31.039
 in Christ

00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:32.180
 that love

00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:33.159
 is being misdirected

00:19:33.159 --> 00:19:34.279
 and turned back

00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:35.180
 in

00:19:35.180 --> 00:19:36.420
 on itself

00:19:36.420 --> 00:19:37.440
 which really

00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:39.319
 is what sin

00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:40.559
 is in many ways

00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:41.339
 it's a turning

00:19:41.339 --> 00:19:42.059
 of our love

00:19:42.059 --> 00:19:43.220
 back into ourselves

00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:46.079
 and so for all

00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:46.899
 the talk of

00:19:46.899 --> 00:19:47.940
 freedom in the

00:19:47.940 --> 00:19:48.559
 Christian life

00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:48.920
 and I know

00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:49.599
 if you've experienced

00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:50.619
 this you hear people

00:19:50.619 --> 00:19:51.200
 and they're

00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:52.700
 they express that

00:19:52.700 --> 00:19:53.519
 in some ways

00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:54.839
 and they're

00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:55.980
 overcoming sin

00:19:55.980 --> 00:19:57.700
 and they're

00:19:57.700 --> 00:19:58.440
 growing in their

00:19:58.440 --> 00:19:58.860
 faith

00:19:58.860 --> 00:19:59.940
 for all the talk

00:19:59.940 --> 00:20:00.279
 of freedom

00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:00.779
 in the Christian

00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:01.160
 life

00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:02.819
 I just feel

00:20:02.819 --> 00:20:03.799
 that that tension

00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:04.440
 and that

00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:04.960
 that that

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:05.660
 that burden

00:20:05.660 --> 00:20:06.740
 in my heart

00:20:06.740 --> 00:20:07.740
 it doesn't always

00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:08.240
 feel free

00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:08.880
 it almost feels

00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:09.279
 like because I'm

00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:09.660
 a Christian

00:20:09.660 --> 00:20:10.720
 it's it's more

00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:11.039
 tense

00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:11.579
 I almost feel

00:20:11.579 --> 00:20:13.539
 more encased

00:20:13.539 --> 00:20:14.299
 in at times

00:20:14.299 --> 00:20:16.860
 verse 17

00:20:16.860 --> 00:20:17.240
 isn't it

00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:17.819
 is a description

00:20:17.819 --> 00:20:18.299
 of that

00:20:18.299 --> 00:20:19.220
 heart

00:20:19.220 --> 00:20:20.000
 prison

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:20.640
 for the sinful

00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:21.360
 nature desires

00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:21.860
 what is contrary

00:20:21.860 --> 00:20:22.559
 to the spirit

00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:23.559
 and the spirit

00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:24.140
 what is contrary

00:20:24.140 --> 00:20:25.079
 to sinful nature

00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:26.439
 they're in conflict

00:20:26.439 --> 00:20:27.079
 with each other

00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:27.859
 so that you do

00:20:27.859 --> 00:20:28.359
 not do

00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:28.879
 what you

00:20:28.879 --> 00:20:30.339
 want

00:20:30.339 --> 00:20:33.240
 and so the spirit

00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.359
 and the sinful

00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:35.019
 nature are in

00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:35.559
 conflict

00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:37.339
 both desiring

00:20:37.339 --> 00:20:38.579
 different things

00:20:38.579 --> 00:20:41.000
 for Mark Pierpont

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.720
 his struggle

00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:43.419
 was with his

00:20:43.419 --> 00:20:44.460
 Christian identity

00:20:44.460 --> 00:20:46.000
 and his deep

00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:46.740
 desire to live

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:47.519
 a gay life

00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:49.339
 now other

00:20:49.339 --> 00:20:49.899
 struggles

00:20:49.899 --> 00:20:51.179
 may be more

00:20:51.179 --> 00:20:51.559
 subtle

00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:52.839
 I don't know

00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:53.279
 what they are

00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:53.579
 for you

00:20:53.579 --> 00:20:54.319
 maybe it's

00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:55.019
 you're an office

00:20:55.019 --> 00:20:55.379
 worker

00:20:55.379 --> 00:20:56.480
 who pours

00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:57.859
 your soul

00:20:57.859 --> 00:20:58.919
 into your job

00:20:58.919 --> 00:21:00.220
 and you put

00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:00.720
 all the emphasis

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:01.099
 in that

00:21:01.099 --> 00:21:01.399
 and you want

00:21:01.399 --> 00:21:01.799
 to do well

00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:02.220
 in your job

00:21:02.220 --> 00:21:02.439
 but it's

00:21:02.439 --> 00:21:03.000
 becoming all

00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:03.519
 consuming

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:04.480
 and begins

00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:05.259
 to rule us

00:21:05.259 --> 00:21:06.079
 and cause

00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:06.839
 anxiety

00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:07.619
 and stress

00:21:07.619 --> 00:21:08.659
 yet our

00:21:08.659 --> 00:21:09.359
 love

00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:10.539
 for our own

00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:10.919
 identity

00:21:10.919 --> 00:21:11.480
 in that

00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:12.500
 keeps turning

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:13.119
 our efforts

00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:13.740
 and our energy

00:21:13.740 --> 00:21:14.359
 and our time

00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:15.460
 back into itself

00:21:15.460 --> 00:21:16.259
 so that I can

00:21:16.259 --> 00:21:17.059
 achieve my

00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:17.480
 ambitions

00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:18.399
 and my goals

00:21:18.399 --> 00:21:19.779
 in my job

00:21:19.779 --> 00:21:21.980
 so in our

00:21:21.980 --> 00:21:22.500
 hearts

00:21:22.500 --> 00:21:24.139
 we feel

00:21:24.139 --> 00:21:24.660
 divided

00:21:24.660 --> 00:21:25.879
 like there

00:21:25.879 --> 00:21:26.259
 are two

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:26.960
 opposing

00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:28.299
 forces

00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:29.039
 battling

00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:29.779
 for control

00:21:29.779 --> 00:21:30.240
 at the very

00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:30.619
 centre

00:21:30.619 --> 00:21:33.240
 and so

00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:33.859
 I think

00:21:33.859 --> 00:21:34.259
 it's very

00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:34.920
 difficult

00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:36.700
 as a Christian

00:21:36.700 --> 00:21:37.200
 it's something

00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:37.740
 I've

00:21:37.740 --> 00:21:39.000
 wrestled with

00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:39.319
 a lot

00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:39.740
 recently

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:41.000
 to understand

00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:42.059
 what is it

00:21:42.059 --> 00:21:42.940
 within us

00:21:42.940 --> 00:21:44.559
 that continues

00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:45.559
 to sin

00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:46.319
 or to desire

00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:46.799
 to sin

00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:48.259
 because the

00:21:48.259 --> 00:21:48.960
 Bible has

00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:50.379
 such strong

00:21:50.379 --> 00:21:50.940
 language

00:21:50.940 --> 00:21:51.759
 about moving

00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:52.119
 from

00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:52.799
 you move

00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:53.639
 from death

00:21:53.639 --> 00:21:54.759
 to life

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:55.500
 you move

00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:55.940
 out of this

00:21:55.940 --> 00:21:56.779
 kingdom of

00:21:56.779 --> 00:21:57.659
 darkness

00:21:57.659 --> 00:21:58.220
 and you move

00:21:58.220 --> 00:21:58.720
 into this

00:21:58.720 --> 00:21:59.500
 kingdom of

00:21:59.500 --> 00:21:59.940
 light

00:21:59.940 --> 00:22:00.319
 it says

00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:00.779
 it speaks

00:22:00.779 --> 00:22:01.779
 of dying

00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:02.759
 and being

00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:03.759
 born again

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.039
 of our

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:05.859
 baptism

00:22:05.859 --> 00:22:06.419
 our Christian

00:22:06.419 --> 00:22:06.819
 baptism

00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:07.220
 as a

00:22:07.220 --> 00:22:07.680
 demonstration

00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:08.139
 that we

00:22:08.139 --> 00:22:08.839
 have died

00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:09.440
 to the old

00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:09.680
 life

00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:10.519
 it's gone

00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:11.200
 and buried

00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:12.099
 and now

00:22:12.099 --> 00:22:12.460
 we've been

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:13.240
 raised

00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:14.599
 in the waters

00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:15.059
 of baptism

00:22:15.059 --> 00:22:15.859
 and raised

00:22:15.859 --> 00:22:16.839
 with Christ

00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:17.879
 into a new

00:22:17.879 --> 00:22:18.599
 life

00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:19.339
 seated with

00:22:19.339 --> 00:22:19.759
 Christ

00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:20.099
 in the

00:22:20.099 --> 00:22:21.000
 heavenly realms

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:22.639
 Paul writes

00:22:22.639 --> 00:22:23.000
 that we are

00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:23.819
 a new creation

00:22:23.819 --> 00:22:24.439
 the old

00:22:24.439 --> 00:22:24.899
 has gone

00:22:24.899 --> 00:22:25.479
 and the new

00:22:25.479 --> 00:22:26.039
 has come

00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:27.199
 again

00:22:27.199 --> 00:22:27.759
 writing in

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:28.219
 Galatians

00:22:28.219 --> 00:22:28.639
 he says

00:22:28.639 --> 00:22:29.939
 I have been

00:22:29.939 --> 00:22:30.699
 crucified

00:22:30.699 --> 00:22:32.599
 with Christ

00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:33.819
 and I no longer

00:22:33.819 --> 00:22:34.839
 live but Christ

00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:35.719
 lives in me

00:22:35.719 --> 00:22:37.699
 if all of this

00:22:37.699 --> 00:22:38.959
 is true truth

00:22:38.959 --> 00:22:40.679
 how is sin

00:22:40.679 --> 00:22:41.259
 still there

00:22:41.259 --> 00:22:41.879
 and how is it

00:22:41.879 --> 00:22:42.299
 that I can

00:22:42.299 --> 00:22:42.879
 continue

00:22:42.879 --> 00:22:44.099
 to sin

00:22:44.099 --> 00:22:44.639
 why do I

00:22:44.639 --> 00:22:45.279
 still feel

00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:45.819
 that tension

00:22:45.819 --> 00:22:47.339
 because the

00:22:47.339 --> 00:22:47.759
 truth is

00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:48.099
 I do

00:22:48.099 --> 00:22:48.519
 continue

00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:48.939
 to sin

00:22:48.939 --> 00:22:49.879
 my desires

00:22:49.879 --> 00:22:51.200
 are being

00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:52.119
 misdirected

00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:52.799
 and my love

00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:53.039
 is being

00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:53.480
 misdirected

00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:53.799
 by my

00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:54.539
 sinful nature

00:22:54.539 --> 00:22:55.399
 so I

00:22:55.399 --> 00:22:55.919
 continue

00:22:55.919 --> 00:22:56.579
 to use

00:22:56.579 --> 00:22:57.259
 my freedom

00:22:57.259 --> 00:22:58.019
 to curve

00:22:58.019 --> 00:22:58.819
 my love

00:22:58.819 --> 00:22:59.639
 back to

00:22:59.639 --> 00:23:00.259
 myself

00:23:00.259 --> 00:23:01.599
 constantly

00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:03.139
 as if I

00:23:03.139 --> 00:23:03.460
 am a

00:23:03.460 --> 00:23:03.879
 slave

00:23:03.879 --> 00:23:04.720
 to sin

00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:06.460
 and without

00:23:06.460 --> 00:23:06.919
 freedom

00:23:06.919 --> 00:23:08.579
 those opposing

00:23:08.579 --> 00:23:09.079
 verses

00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:09.480
 of

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:10.839
 those opposing

00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:11.799
 forces of

00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:12.679
 verse 17

00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:14.080
 are at war

00:23:14.080 --> 00:23:15.039
 leading to

00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:15.440
 the kind

00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:16.200
 of acts

00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:17.240
 that we

00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:17.779
 read about

00:23:17.779 --> 00:23:18.220
 in verses

00:23:18.220 --> 00:23:18.980
 19 to

00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:19.519
 21

00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:21.920
 the battle

00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:22.420
 with sin

00:23:22.420 --> 00:23:22.880
 to battle

00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:23.180
 with it

00:23:23.180 --> 00:23:23.500
 we need

00:23:23.500 --> 00:23:24.000
 the light

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:24.840
 of God's

00:23:24.840 --> 00:23:25.140
 word

00:23:25.140 --> 00:23:25.799
 to lead

00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:26.340
 the way

00:23:26.340 --> 00:23:26.900
 to lead

00:23:26.900 --> 00:23:27.420
 our thinking

00:23:27.420 --> 00:23:28.360
 to lead

00:23:28.360 --> 00:23:28.860
 our hearts

00:23:28.860 --> 00:23:30.680
 the truth

00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:31.440
 is still

00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:31.779
 this

00:23:31.779 --> 00:23:32.560
 it is still

00:23:32.560 --> 00:23:32.940
 true

00:23:32.940 --> 00:23:33.900
 verse 24

00:23:33.900 --> 00:23:35.600
 those who

00:23:35.600 --> 00:23:36.340
 belong to

00:23:36.340 --> 00:23:37.080
 Christ Jesus

00:23:37.080 --> 00:23:38.680
 have crucified

00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:39.360
 the sinful

00:23:39.360 --> 00:23:39.840
 nature

00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:40.819
 with its

00:23:40.819 --> 00:23:41.279
 passions

00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:42.619
 and desires

00:23:42.619 --> 00:23:43.799
 we

00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:44.819
 have

00:23:44.819 --> 00:23:45.480
 died

00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:46.399
 to sin

00:23:46.399 --> 00:23:47.679
 we

00:23:47.679 --> 00:23:48.539
 are set

00:23:48.539 --> 00:23:48.879
 free

00:23:48.879 --> 00:23:49.779
 from sin

00:23:49.779 --> 00:23:51.000
 this is

00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:51.359
 truth

00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:52.079
 when you

00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:52.939
 came to

00:23:52.939 --> 00:23:53.539
 faith

00:23:53.539 --> 00:23:54.299
 in Jesus

00:23:54.299 --> 00:23:55.579
 you moved

00:23:55.579 --> 00:23:56.000
 from the

00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:56.599
 kingdom of

00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:56.939
 sin

00:23:56.939 --> 00:23:57.939
 to the

00:23:57.939 --> 00:23:58.220
 kingdom

00:23:58.220 --> 00:23:58.740
 of

00:23:58.740 --> 00:23:59.240
 obedience

00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:00.379
 and you

00:24:00.379 --> 00:24:00.699
 made a

00:24:00.699 --> 00:24:01.480
 decisive

00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:02.819
 decisive

00:24:02.819 --> 00:24:03.500
 break

00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:04.779
 with

00:24:04.779 --> 00:24:05.559
 sin

00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:07.039
 you see

00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:07.319
 we are

00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:08.199
 no longer

00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:09.660
 slaves

00:24:09.660 --> 00:24:10.380
 to that

00:24:10.380 --> 00:24:11.240
 sin

00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:11.759
 to that

00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:12.100
 way

00:24:12.100 --> 00:24:12.519
 of

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:12.960
 living

00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:17.059
 instead

00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:18.519
 we are

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:18.880
 a son

00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:19.299
 of God

00:24:19.299 --> 00:24:20.240
 indwelt

00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:20.700
 by the

00:24:20.700 --> 00:24:21.360
 Holy Spirit

00:24:21.360 --> 00:24:23.700
 sin

00:24:23.700 --> 00:24:24.000
 is not

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:24.420
 yet fully

00:24:24.420 --> 00:24:24.660
 done

00:24:24.660 --> 00:24:24.920
 in our

00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:25.299
 lives

00:24:25.299 --> 00:24:25.980
 we know

00:24:25.980 --> 00:24:26.259
 that

00:24:26.259 --> 00:24:26.600
 it's

00:24:26.600 --> 00:24:27.140
 dead

00:24:27.140 --> 00:24:28.259
 sin

00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:28.420
 is

00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:28.900
 defeated

00:24:28.900 --> 00:24:29.720
 but

00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:29.940
 its

00:24:29.940 --> 00:24:30.319
 lingering

00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:31.019
 effects

00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:31.279
 are

00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:31.559
 still

00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:32.039
 present

00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:33.539
 you see

00:24:33.539 --> 00:24:34.299
 repurposing

00:24:34.299 --> 00:24:34.740
 a whole

00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:35.120
 life

00:24:35.120 --> 00:24:35.720
 repurposing

00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:36.319
 a soul

00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:37.340
 repurposing

00:24:37.340 --> 00:24:37.920
 a person

00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:38.140
 in a

00:24:38.140 --> 00:24:38.480
 body

00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:39.580
 for life

00:24:39.580 --> 00:24:39.860
 and a

00:24:39.860 --> 00:24:40.160
 spirit

00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:40.980
 it's

00:24:40.980 --> 00:24:41.180
 like

00:24:41.180 --> 00:24:41.480
 trying

00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:41.940
 to

00:24:41.940 --> 00:24:43.220
 reuse

 a deep

00:24:46.140 --> 00:24:46.300
 going

00:24:46.300 --> 00:24:46.640
 what

00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:47.740
 do you know

00:24:47.740 --> 00:24:48.259
 if you ever see

00:24:48.259 --> 00:24:48.600
 pictures

00:24:48.600 --> 00:24:48.880
 you know

00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:49.500
 north sea

00:24:49.500 --> 00:24:50.019
 those big

00:24:55.940 --> 00:24:56.440
 down

00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:56.900
 into the

00:24:56.900 --> 00:24:57.060
 sea

00:24:57.060 --> 00:24:57.380
 to bring

00:26:12.940 --> 00:26:14.860
 but

00:26:14.860 --> 00:26:15.120
 here's

00:26:15.120 --> 00:26:15.240
 the

00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:15.440
 thing

00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:15.660
 that

 our

00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:18.220
 lives

00:26:18.220 --> 00:26:19.320
 it's

00:26:19.320 --> 00:26:19.519
 still

00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:20.059
 coated

00:26:20.059 --> 00:26:21.059
 in

00:26:21.059 --> 00:26:21.200
 the

00:26:22.840 --> 00:26:23.539
 gunk

00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:24.759
 as we

00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:25.200
 walk

00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:25.380
 with

00:26:25.380 --> 00:26:25.559
 the

00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:25.820
 spirit

00:26:25.820 --> 00:26:26.000
 we

00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:26.420
 sometimes

00:26:26.420 --> 00:26:26.920
 falter

00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:27.120
 and we

00:26:27.120 --> 00:26:27.340
 begin

00:26:27.340 --> 00:26:27.700
 drilling

00:26:27.700 --> 00:26:28.080
 again

00:26:28.080 --> 00:26:28.360
 into

00:26:28.360 --> 00:26:28.660
 those

00:26:28.660 --> 00:26:29.100
 seams

00:26:29.100 --> 00:26:29.360
 and

00:26:29.360 --> 00:26:30.160
 pockets

00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:30.460
 of

 sin

00:26:30.779 --> 00:26:30.980
 that

00:26:30.980 --> 00:26:31.340
 still

00:26:31.340 --> 00:26:31.660
 seem

00:26:31.660 --> 00:26:31.860
 to

00:26:31.860 --> 00:26:32.120
 linger

00:26:32.120 --> 00:26:34.380
 but

00:26:34.380 --> 00:26:34.920
 for

00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:35.259
 the

00:26:35.259 --> 00:26:35.660
 believer

00:26:35.660 --> 00:26:35.840
 and

00:26:35.840 --> 00:26:36.019
 this

00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:36.180
 is

00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:36.519
 crucial

00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:36.920
 for

00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:37.100
 the

 believer

00:26:37.380 --> 00:26:37.620
 the

00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:38.340

00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:39.140
 is

00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:39.380
 being

00:26:39.380 --> 00:26:39.900
 renewed

00:26:39.900 --> 00:26:41.059
 day

00:26:41.059 --> 00:26:41.940
 by

00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:43.460
 all

00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:43.660
 the

00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:45.119
 all

00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:45.299
 the

 working

00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:46.059
 parts

00:26:46.059 --> 00:26:46.399
 every

00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:48.819
 of

00:26:48.819 --> 00:26:48.980
 our

00:26:48.980 --> 00:26:49.460
 lives

00:26:49.460 --> 00:26:49.759
 is

00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:50.079
 being

00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:50.859
 reclaimed

00:26:50.859 --> 00:26:51.579
 and

00:26:51.579 --> 00:26:52.139
 washed

00:26:52.139 --> 00:26:52.519
 out

00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:53.500
 by

00:26:53.500 --> 00:26:53.779
 living

00:26:53.779 --> 00:26:54.119
 water

00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:55.319
 it's

00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:55.700
 a long

00:26:55.700 --> 00:26:56.139
 process

00:26:56.139 --> 00:26:56.379
 and

00:26:56.379 --> 00:26:56.559
 it's

00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:56.940
 a hard

00:26:56.940 --> 00:26:57.399
 process

00:26:57.399 --> 00:26:57.660
 and

00:26:57.660 --> 00:26:58.420
 it's

00:26:58.420 --> 00:26:58.819
 a process

00:26:58.819 --> 00:26:59.299
 sometimes we

00:26:59.299 --> 00:26:59.799
 feel like

00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:00.259
 it'll never

00:27:00.259 --> 00:27:00.500
 end

00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:00.819
 but it

00:27:00.819 --> 00:27:01.119
 will

00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:01.980
 ultimately

00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:02.420
 when the

00:27:02.420 --> 00:27:02.660
 Lord

00:27:02.660 --> 00:27:03.319
 returns

00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:04.220
 or we

00:27:04.220 --> 00:27:04.579
 go to

00:27:04.579 --> 00:27:04.720
 be

00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:04.960
 with

00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:05.160
 him

00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:06.460
 and

00:27:06.460 --> 00:27:06.579
 that

00:27:06.579 --> 00:27:06.960
 process

00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:07.180
 is

00:27:07.180 --> 00:27:07.500
 called

00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:08.420
 sanctification

00:27:08.420 --> 00:27:08.700
 that's
