00:00:40.259 --> 00:00:44.879
 When our daughters were just babies and young kids,

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:50.079
 I can remember Julie changing their eating patterns at various stages of their growth.

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:57.339
 There came a time when even as young babies where the milk alone was insufficient in and of itself

00:00:57.339 --> 00:01:05.159
 to be necessary for their continued health and natural growth as little baby human beings.

00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:11.039
 So I remember Julie at first with each of them beginning to supplement their milk

00:01:11.039 --> 00:01:15.799
 with this disgusting watery substance that she tried to convince me was cereal.

00:01:16.539 --> 00:01:17.819
 That's what she said it was at least.

00:01:17.900 --> 00:01:18.859
 I don't think it was cereal.

00:01:18.859 --> 00:01:20.659
 It was something nasty looking.

00:01:21.299 --> 00:01:24.900
 But whatever it was, it had a certain amount of nutrients in it that was able to supplement

00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:30.260
 the milk that the girls were getting so that they were able to continue to grow and feel more full

00:01:30.260 --> 00:01:33.539
 and get the nutrients that they needed that maybe the milk didn't quite provide.

00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:39.319
 But there came a time when this quote unquote cereal was also insufficient.

00:01:40.299 --> 00:01:42.599
 And so it wasn't that they could just have the milk and the cereal now.

00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:43.599
 They needed something else.

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:48.239
 And so Julie would go by the jars or she would get a blender and she would put some green beans

00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.159
 in a blender and she blended up until it was real nice and mushy and gross.

00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:55.039
 And she would begin feeding the kids more solid foods in that way.

00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:56.579
 And eventually that wasn't enough.

00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.560
 And they worked into chopped up proteins and then so on and so forth until they got to be

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:01.459
 the age that they are now.

00:02:01.479 --> 00:02:03.919
 And they pretty much eat anything and everything that they want to eat.

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:06.420
 They never gave up milk.

00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:12.500
 In fact, even still today, you're going to see Ashlyn or not Ashlyn, but Harper most of the time,

00:02:12.580 --> 00:02:14.479
 if she's going to ask for a drink, she's going to ask for milk.

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.060
 But even as babies and as young kids, there was never a time where they gave up milk completely.

00:02:20.219 --> 00:02:24.180
 In fact, most of the time when you saw them as young children, even toddlers,

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:28.199
 they had a bottle of milk somewhere around in the stroller or in their hand or in their bag.

00:02:28.259 --> 00:02:32.240
 They always had something like that, even though their regular meal and the regular nutrients

00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:37.300
 that they got was coming from the chopped up chicken or the mushed up peas or whatever it was

00:02:37.300 --> 00:02:39.840
 that they had at that particular season.

00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:47.080
 But no matter how prevalent the milk was, no matter how necessary the milk was to their diet,

00:02:48.040 --> 00:02:54.719
 ultimately, it was still insufficient in and of itself to continue to help them as they grew

00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.700
 and to continue to give them the nourishment and the nutrients that they needed.

00:02:59.699 --> 00:03:08.759
 The early church was fighting a form of false Christianity that viewed the doctrine of Jesus Christ

00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.979
 in a similar way to my girl's diet.

00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:19.799
 The teaching of Christ was certainly present and it was even prevalent and predominant in their theology.

00:03:20.379 --> 00:03:27.959
 But they viewed Jesus as insufficient in and of himself to provide salvation apart from

00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:34.640
 their own religious works, their moral deeds, and their own especially Jewish structures.

00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:40.000
 The church leaders in the New Testament fought this and they contended with these people,

00:03:40.100 --> 00:03:42.760
 confronting the deception over and over as we read the Bible.

00:03:42.860 --> 00:03:45.240
 And we looked at many of those instances last week.

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.400
 The New Testament writers warn of the false teaching time and again,

00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.960
 and Jesus confronted them head on.

00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:59.360
 And even taught that our enemy, Satan, is insistent on inserting counterfeits

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:04.360
 every time that God starts a truth or plants a truth.

00:04:04.460 --> 00:04:07.780
 We see that in the parable of Matthew 13.

00:04:08.819 --> 00:04:14.659
 God plants the seed of his word and he begins to grow into wheat according to the parable.

00:04:14.659 --> 00:04:19.319
 But during the night, the enemy comes along and sows tares among the wheat.

00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.360
 And it takes time for the wheat and the tares to grow.

00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:26.259
 And even in the earlier stages of their growth, they look exactly the same.

00:04:26.339 --> 00:04:29.540
 It's impossible to tell the difference between what's the wheat and what's the tare.

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.259
 They look the same on the outside.

00:04:31.459 --> 00:04:32.659
 They use the same language.

00:04:32.779 --> 00:04:34.180
 They use the same Christian verbiage.

00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:35.980
 All the things look very similar.

00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.659
 But the longer that they continue to grow, the more evident it becomes

00:04:39.660 --> 00:04:43.840
 which one is the true and which one is the false.

00:04:44.700 --> 00:04:47.439
 And so Jesus confronted this over and over.

00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:53.300
 Well, the false teachers that Paul anticipated being a problem to the Philippian church,

00:04:53.640 --> 00:04:56.600
 we talked about last week, are known as Judaizers.

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:02.860
 And their deception wasn't always easy to notice because their language was very Christian.

00:05:03.900 --> 00:05:07.340
 They didn't deny the person and work of Jesus Christ.

00:05:07.339 --> 00:05:11.639
 They actually believed that Jesus was the Son of God.

00:05:12.579 --> 00:05:21.579
 They believed that Jesus died a death that in some way or form helped atone for the sins of mankind.

00:05:22.679 --> 00:05:25.000
 They believed in the power of his resurrection.

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.239
 They believed that he really did raise from the dead.

00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:30.459
 And it was a part of their theology.

00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:35.759
 It wasn't that they taught that Jesus was bad or that he was wrong.

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:41.959
 What was so deceptive is that they taught that Jesus just wasn't enough.

00:05:43.159 --> 00:05:51.980
 They insisted that through Jesus had to be supplemented by conformity to the Old Testament law.

00:05:52.620 --> 00:05:57.259
 And they had a particular fixation on two components of that law.

00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:02.099
 One was circumcision and the other was certain dietary restrictions.

00:06:02.100 --> 00:06:06.840
 They believed that because of their obedience to this religious code,

00:06:07.340 --> 00:06:11.060
 that they were in fact the true people of God.

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:17.100
 That those who would just accept Jesus and his teaching and his death and his resurrection alone

00:06:17.660 --> 00:06:19.860
 were not actually the true people of God.

00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:22.620
 That you must also take that knowledge of Jesus,

00:06:23.020 --> 00:06:27.000
 pair it with religious works and conformity to the Old Testament law

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.020
 in order to achieve true salvation.

00:06:30.019 --> 00:06:37.899
 And so Paul uses the entire chapter of Philippians 3 to reemphasize what true Christianity is.

00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:43.479
 And all the way through the chapter, he contrasts the true against the false.

00:06:43.719 --> 00:06:46.919
 The true Christian versus the false Christian.

00:06:47.060 --> 00:06:49.299
 As we have studied in these first three verses,

00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:52.839
 he does that really head on as he confronts these Judaizers

00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.199
 and their approach to the Philippian church.

00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:01.920
 In verse number two, he deals with three warnings as it relates to these false teachers.

00:07:02.719 --> 00:07:09.019
 And in verse number three, he highlights three identifying marks of a true Christian.

00:07:09.980 --> 00:07:13.699
 The change of focus comes for us through a transitional phrase

00:07:13.699 --> 00:07:19.539
 in which he proclaims that we are by implication the true circumcision.

00:07:19.540 --> 00:07:23.300
 And of course, that comes just after he states in verse number two

00:07:23.300 --> 00:07:27.340
 that these Judaizers were of the false circumcision.

00:07:27.760 --> 00:07:29.700
 He uses the word concision.

00:07:30.140 --> 00:07:32.860
 Let's read the verses together again just to refresh our memory

00:07:32.860 --> 00:07:35.080
 and then we'll jump into our notes for the day.

00:07:36.080 --> 00:07:39.620
 Finally, my brethren, in verse one, rejoice in the Lord.

00:07:40.620 --> 00:07:43.820
 To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous,

00:07:44.140 --> 00:07:46.100
 but for you it is safe.

00:07:46.100 --> 00:07:47.640
 Here's the warning.

00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:49.680
 Beware of dogs.

00:07:50.340 --> 00:07:51.480
 Beware of evil workers.

00:07:52.300 --> 00:07:53.340
 Beware of the concision.

00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:55.280
 For we are the circumcision.

00:07:55.400 --> 00:07:57.280
 By implication here, you could put in brackets,

00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.140
 we are the true circumcision.

00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:01.980
 Which worship God in the spirit,

00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:04.920
 rejoice in Christ Jesus,

00:08:05.660 --> 00:08:09.120
 and have no confidence in the flesh.

00:08:10.060 --> 00:08:11.939
 Three warnings against the false.

00:08:11.939 --> 00:08:16.719
 Three truly identifying marks of the true Christian.

00:08:17.459 --> 00:08:20.079
 Now, before we jump into the three marks,

00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.100
 I want to take just a moment to once again trace a few instances

00:08:24.100 --> 00:08:28.420
 where the New Testament writers confronted this false teaching.

00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.860
 In fact, we could go to a number of different places

00:08:30.860 --> 00:08:33.460
 and look at all of the defenses that they made

00:08:33.460 --> 00:08:37.659
 in defense of justification by faith alone in Jesus Christ.

00:08:37.940 --> 00:08:39.960
 The first one is in Romans chapter four.

00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.820
 It's really the first 12 verses.

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.620
 Romans chapter four in the first 12 verses.

00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:48.639
 Paul uses a defense against this false doctrine

00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.300
 that specifically points out the fact

00:08:51.300 --> 00:08:56.019
 that Abraham was saved prior to his circumcision.

00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:59.120
 The Judaizers and the Jews especially,

00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:04.440
 they correlated their place in God's family

00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:05.560
 as the children of God

00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:08.360
 with also being synonymous with being the children of Abraham.

00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:12.360
 They took great pride in their national heritage.

00:09:13.019 --> 00:09:16.220
 And they believed that just being the children of Abraham,

00:09:16.500 --> 00:09:21.820
 which was seen in the surgical operation of circumcision,

00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.180
 or at least as a woman would be believed this to be,

00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:26.860
 it would be a matter of their intellectual thought

00:09:26.860 --> 00:09:28.399
 and their belief and their faith and their heart.

00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:30.600
 They believed that this is what made them

00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:31.980
 the true children of God.

00:09:32.100 --> 00:09:34.300
 But Paul points out in Romans chapter four

00:09:34.299 --> 00:09:38.019
 that Abraham was actually counted as righteous before God

00:09:38.019 --> 00:09:39.859
 on the basis of his faith

00:09:39.859 --> 00:09:44.299
 prior to him taking the sign of circumcision.

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.939
 So Paul's first defense against the Jews and the Judaizers

00:09:47.939 --> 00:09:51.659
 was even the very one that you say you belong to in Abraham

00:09:51.659 --> 00:09:55.839
 was not even saved by circumcision or obedience to the law.

00:09:56.599 --> 00:09:59.019
 The law did not even come to be in existence

00:09:59.019 --> 00:10:01.960
 for hundreds of years after Abraham.

00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:07.039
 And his own obedience to God's command for circumcision

00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.120
 for he and those that would follow him

00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:12.419
 came after God had already declared him righteous.

00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.399
 Let me read a portion of it to you.

00:10:15.379 --> 00:10:16.019
 Paul writes,

00:10:16.019 --> 00:10:40.159
 And then he illustrates that.

00:10:40.299 --> 00:10:40.919
 Paul says,

00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:49.799
 In other words,

00:10:50.139 --> 00:10:51.939
 those who work for their salvation,

00:10:52.319 --> 00:10:54.659
 salvation is not actually a gift of grace.

00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.399
 It is actually in some way an indebtedness that God has

00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.279
 for the individual that has compiled his good works.

00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:03.059
 And so Paul says,

00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:06.559
 simple logic tells you that work salvation

00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:09.279
 has nothing to do with God's grace.

00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.539
 But to him that worketh not,

00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.179
 but believeth on him that justifies the ungodly,

00:11:14.459 --> 00:11:17.939
 his faith is counted for righteousness.

00:11:18.740 --> 00:11:20.620
 And then if he skipped down just a few verses,

00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:21.839
 if you happen to turn to it,

00:11:22.459 --> 00:11:23.899
 he goes on and he says,

00:11:24.579 --> 00:11:27.799
 Cometh this blessedness then by the circumcision only

00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.480
 or upon the uncircumcision also

00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.299
 to those who are circumcised or also to the Gentile?

00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:34.659
 And then he answers,

00:11:35.059 --> 00:11:38.379
 For we say that faith was counted to Abraham for righteousness.

00:11:38.379 --> 00:11:40.139
 And how was it counted?

00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:42.100
 Not in circumcision,

00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.639
 but in uncircumcision.

00:11:45.059 --> 00:11:47.279
 So Paul's first defense against these Judaizers

00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.620
 is the very one that you even claim to follow in this

00:11:50.620 --> 00:11:52.700
 was counted as righteous before God

00:11:52.700 --> 00:11:55.759
 before actually obeying the law.

00:11:56.139 --> 00:11:58.559
 Now then this is in conjunction with Romans chapter two.

00:11:58.679 --> 00:11:59.399
 Write down that reference.

00:11:59.500 --> 00:12:00.159
 You can check it later.

00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:01.659
 Romans chapter two,

00:12:01.939 --> 00:12:03.639
 verses 25 to 29.

00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.620
 In this defense,

00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:09.980
 Paul mentions that the true people of God

00:12:09.980 --> 00:12:13.519
 is not a matter of national heritage,

00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:17.419
 nor is it a matter of religious affiliation.

00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:21.860
 The true people of God is a matter of the heart.

00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.080
 Here's what he says as a part of that section of verses.

00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:26.560
 He says,

00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.139
 For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly,

00:12:31.739 --> 00:12:34.759
 nor is circumcision outward and physical.

00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.319
 But a Jew is one inwardly.

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.899
 And circumcision is a matter of the heart

00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:43.359
 by the spirit,

00:12:43.779 --> 00:12:45.579
 not by the letter.

00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.079
 So Paul's first defense in Romans four

00:12:48.079 --> 00:12:51.000
 is Abraham was justified before God.

00:12:51.319 --> 00:12:53.139
 He was counted as righteous before God

00:12:53.139 --> 00:12:56.220
 on the basis of his faith prior to his obedience.

00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:58.460
 And then his second defense is,

00:12:58.980 --> 00:13:00.240
 being the true people of God

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.059
 is not a matter of your affiliation

00:13:02.059 --> 00:13:03.360
 or of your heritage.

00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:06.559
 The true people of God is a matter of the heart.

00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:09.960
 Now Paul mentioned in the book of Galatians,

00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.379
 in fact, the entire letter of Galatians

00:13:12.379 --> 00:13:15.159
 is written to confront the Judaizers

00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:17.120
 and their assault on the churches

00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:18.460
 in the region of Galatia.

00:13:19.100 --> 00:13:20.559
 In fact, if you really want to dig deep

00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.399
 into how Paul confronted this specifically

00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:23.079
 in his churches,

00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:25.019
 start with the book of Galatians.

00:13:25.100 --> 00:13:26.620
 It will tell you so much there.

00:13:27.299 --> 00:13:28.299
 But in chapter two,

00:13:28.939 --> 00:13:30.120
 Paul mentions two things

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.179
 as a part of this defense.

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.179
 One, he says that if the Judaizers are right,

00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:37.059
 then Jesus is a liar.

00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:39.379
 And then he says,

00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:41.159
 if the Judaizers are right,

00:13:41.659 --> 00:13:43.980
 then the death of Christ is pointless

00:13:43.980 --> 00:13:45.639
 and it's in vain.

00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:48.039
 Here's what he says in Galatians two.

00:13:48.620 --> 00:13:49.240
 He says,

00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:52.199
 but if while we seek to be justified by Christ,

00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:55.639
 we ourselves also are found sinners,

00:13:56.199 --> 00:13:58.419
 is therefore Christ the minister of sin?

00:13:59.220 --> 00:13:59.879
 God forbid.

00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.159
 When Paul was writing to the Galatians,

00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:04.980
 the Judaizers he was dealing with there

00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:06.879
 weren't as focused on circumcision

00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:08.980
 as they were focused on dietary restrictions.

00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.299
 And as he's writing to these Galatian churches,

00:14:12.299 --> 00:14:14.299
 he brings up a specific instance

00:14:14.299 --> 00:14:16.399
 when Peter falters

00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:18.679
 and he begins to capitulate

00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:19.919
 to some of the Judaizers

00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.439
 in order to save face

00:14:21.439 --> 00:14:23.279
 in front of the Judaizers

00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:24.600
 that had come from Jerusalem.

00:14:24.959 --> 00:14:27.079
 He separates himself from the Gentiles

00:14:27.079 --> 00:14:29.220
 and he begins to associate with them instead.

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:31.899
 Before the Judaizers had shown up,

00:14:32.419 --> 00:14:34.039
 Peter was happy to participate

00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:35.659
 in all of the eating

00:14:35.659 --> 00:14:37.100
 of whatever food he wanted to eat

00:14:37.100 --> 00:14:38.000
 with the Gentiles.

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:38.939
 And he enjoyed it

00:14:38.939 --> 00:14:39.779
 and he liked it

00:14:39.779 --> 00:14:41.679
 and he reveled in it

00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.519
 because that was his freedom in Christ.

00:14:44.139 --> 00:14:46.419
 But as soon as the Judaizers showed up,

00:14:46.939 --> 00:14:47.879
 he got insecure

00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:49.480
 about eating things

00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:51.220
 that were against the dietary restrictions.

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:53.600
 And so he left the Gentiles

00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.079
 and he stuck closely to the Judaizers,

00:14:56.740 --> 00:14:58.579
 making it seem like

00:14:58.579 --> 00:15:00.459
 he was agreeing with them

00:15:00.459 --> 00:15:04.779
 about salvation coming on part by works.

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:06.319
 So Paul's confronting that

00:15:06.319 --> 00:15:07.679
 specifically to the Galatians.

00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:09.620
 When he writes in this verse,

00:15:09.699 --> 00:15:11.539
 he says that if those of us

00:15:11.539 --> 00:15:12.719
 who follow Christ

00:15:12.719 --> 00:15:14.059
 and by implication

00:15:14.059 --> 00:15:16.199
 eat whatever we want to eat

00:15:16.199 --> 00:15:18.000
 because Christ has lifted

00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:19.299
 these dietary laws,

00:15:19.699 --> 00:15:22.359
 if that means that we're actually sinners

00:15:22.359 --> 00:15:23.519
 because we've done that,

00:15:23.719 --> 00:15:26.059
 then you have actually made Christ a liar.

00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.379
 Because in Mark chapter eight,

00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:29.879
 Jesus made it very clear.

00:15:30.739 --> 00:15:31.879
 What goes into the body

00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:33.159
 does not defile a man,

00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:35.139
 but that which cometh out of the body

00:15:35.139 --> 00:15:36.159
 defiles a man.

00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:37.799
 For from within the heart

00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:39.939
 is adulteries and fornications

00:15:39.939 --> 00:15:42.379
 and murders and licentiousness

00:15:42.379 --> 00:15:43.360
 and a whole list of things

00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:44.399
 that Jesus goes through.

00:15:44.539 --> 00:15:45.559
 And his whole point was

00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:46.860
 what goes into the body

00:15:46.860 --> 00:15:49.639
 isn't a matter of defilement

00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:50.719
 as far as I'm concerned.

00:15:50.719 --> 00:15:52.860
 It's actually what is in the heart of a man.

00:15:53.100 --> 00:15:54.219
 And so Paul writes and he says,

00:15:54.319 --> 00:15:55.399
 if you're going to demand

00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:56.659
 these types of restrictions,

00:15:56.659 --> 00:15:57.759
 what you end up doing

00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:00.159
 is making Christ a liar.

00:16:00.899 --> 00:16:02.159
 And then in the last verse

00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:03.740
 of that section of verse 21,

00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:04.200
 he says,

00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:06.180
 I do not frustrate the grace of God

00:16:06.180 --> 00:16:08.700
 for if righteousness came by the law,

00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:11.180
 then Christ is dead in vain.

00:16:12.060 --> 00:16:13.860
 If it was possible for us

00:16:13.860 --> 00:16:15.960
 to earn salvation in some way,

00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:17.519
 even with religious commitment,

00:16:17.940 --> 00:16:20.159
 even if knowledge intellectually

00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:21.700
 of Jesus Christ is a part of that,

00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.940
 then what was the point

00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:23.919
 in Jesus's death?

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:26.940
 If his death was insufficient

00:16:26.940 --> 00:16:28.720
 to make an atonement for our sin,

00:16:28.980 --> 00:16:30.080
 then what was the point

00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:31.039
 in it to begin with?

00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.919
 So if you're going to attach a legalism

00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:35.419
 to the doctrines of Christ,

00:16:35.459 --> 00:16:36.379
 what you end up doing

00:16:36.379 --> 00:16:38.879
 is rendering the doctrine of Christ

00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.039
 and his death as vain and pointless.

00:16:42.819 --> 00:16:43.879
 And then the last one I'll give you

00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:45.159
 before we jump into verse three

00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.459
 is perhaps the most famous dealing

00:16:47.459 --> 00:16:48.659
 with this evil doctrine.

00:16:48.839 --> 00:16:50.019
 It's in Acts 15.

00:16:50.179 --> 00:16:50.839
 Write that down.

00:16:51.539 --> 00:16:52.379
 Acts 15.

00:16:53.659 --> 00:16:55.159
 If you've studied the book of Acts recently,

00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:56.219
 you know that this is

00:16:56.219 --> 00:16:57.719
 the Jerusalem council.

00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:00.639
 This topic of circumcision

00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:01.779
 and dietary laws

00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:02.620
 had come up

00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:03.960
 among many of the churches.

00:17:04.860 --> 00:17:06.240
 And in the early church,

00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:07.200
 they were navigating

00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:08.799
 how they needed to approach it

00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:10.420
 and what the truth was about it.

00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:12.579
 In Acts chapter 15,

00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:14.600
 Peter is the one

00:17:14.600 --> 00:17:15.799
 that ends up making

00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.039
 the defense of justification

00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:19.660
 by faith in Christ alone.

00:17:20.660 --> 00:17:21.539
 Here's what happened.

00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:22.640
 Verse number seven.

00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:26.400
 When there had been much disputing,

00:17:27.180 --> 00:17:28.259
 Peter rose up

00:17:28.259 --> 00:17:29.880
 and said unto them,

00:17:30.520 --> 00:17:31.360
 men and brethren,

00:17:32.040 --> 00:17:33.840
 you know how that a good while ago

00:17:33.840 --> 00:17:35.860
 God made choice among us

00:17:35.860 --> 00:17:38.600
 that the Gentiles by my mouth

00:17:38.600 --> 00:17:40.480
 should hear the word of the gospel

00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:41.660
 and believe.

00:17:41.840 --> 00:17:44.240
 He's referencing a man named Cornelius,

00:17:44.900 --> 00:17:46.640
 a Gentile who had come to faith

00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:48.420
 because of the preaching of Peter.

00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:50.000
 Peter witnessed it

00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:51.160
 apart from the law,

00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:52.519
 apart from circumcision,

00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:54.200
 apart from dietary restriction.

00:17:54.620 --> 00:17:55.420
 Peter witnessed it

00:17:55.420 --> 00:17:56.480
 and the Holy Spirit

00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:57.840
 confirmed it on the man's life.

00:17:58.040 --> 00:17:59.120
 And so Peter goes on to say,

00:17:59.580 --> 00:18:00.300
 and God,

00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:02.019
 which knows the heart,

00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:03.700
 bear them witness,

00:18:04.600 --> 00:18:06.340
 giving them the Holy Ghost,

00:18:07.080 --> 00:18:09.279
 even as he did unto us

00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:10.840
 as Jews that believed.

00:18:11.800 --> 00:18:13.800
 And God put no difference

00:18:13.800 --> 00:18:15.000
 between us and them,

00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:17.080
 purifying their heart

00:18:17.080 --> 00:18:18.160
 by faith.

00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:18.759
 faith.

00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:21.100
 And then he confronts the Judaizers

00:18:21.100 --> 00:18:21.779
 and he says,

00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:22.600
 now therefore,

00:18:22.900 --> 00:18:24.279
 why tempt ye God

00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:26.820
 to put a yoke upon the neck

00:18:26.820 --> 00:18:27.720
 of the disciples,

00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:29.800
 which neither our fathers

00:18:29.800 --> 00:18:32.220
 nor we were able to bear.

00:18:33.040 --> 00:18:34.980
 But we believe that through the grace

00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:37.320
 of the Lord Jesus Christ alone,

00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:39.100
 we shall be saved,

00:18:39.460 --> 00:18:42.340
 even as they shall be saved.

00:18:42.339 --> 00:18:44.299
 Then all the multitude

00:18:44.299 --> 00:18:45.319
 kept silence

00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:46.779
 and gave audience

00:18:46.779 --> 00:18:48.220
 to Barnabas and Paul,

00:18:48.959 --> 00:18:50.720
 declaring as they did

00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:52.419
 what miracles and wonders

00:18:52.419 --> 00:18:53.480
 God had wrought

00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:54.740
 among the Gentiles

00:18:54.740 --> 00:18:55.879
 by them.

00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:57.359
 Here's the final defense

00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:00.099
 and the most powerful defense.

00:19:01.259 --> 00:19:02.339
 That Gentile conversion

00:19:02.899 --> 00:19:04.039
 in Acts 15

00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.099
 had been confirmed

00:19:06.099 --> 00:19:08.259
 by the Holy Spirit

00:19:08.259 --> 00:19:10.240
 apart from the law.

00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.380
 Peter says,

00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:12.859
 you know,

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:14.140
 you have heard the stories,

00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:15.240
 Barnabas and Paul

00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:16.240
 give representation

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:17.880
 to theirs as well.

00:19:17.980 --> 00:19:18.839
 How that they went

00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:19.859
 and they preached the gospel

00:19:19.859 --> 00:19:20.819
 to the Gentiles,

00:19:21.059 --> 00:19:22.579
 not only did they believe,

00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.079
 but apart from circumcision

00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:25.839
 and apart from dietary restriction,

00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:27.359
 apart from conformity

00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:28.460
 to the Old Testament law,

00:19:28.660 --> 00:19:29.900
 not only did they believe,

00:19:30.220 --> 00:19:32.000
 but God demonstrated

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:32.900
 his acceptance

00:19:32.900 --> 00:19:33.960
 of their faith

00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:35.160
 and their justification

00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:36.339
 through Christ alone

00:19:36.339 --> 00:19:37.480
 by giving them

00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:38.220
 the Holy Spirit

00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:39.980
 and showing us signs

00:19:39.980 --> 00:19:40.680
 of the power

00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:41.299
 of the Holy Spirit

00:19:41.299 --> 00:19:41.940
 on their life.

00:19:42.539 --> 00:19:43.660
 So Peter and Paul

00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:44.160
 and Barnabas

00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:45.440
 come to this Jerusalem council

00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:46.120
 in Acts 15

00:19:46.120 --> 00:19:46.920
 and they say,

00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:48.180
 we gotta leave off

00:19:48.180 --> 00:19:48.940
 these restrictions.

00:19:49.339 --> 00:19:50.019
 This legalism

00:19:50.019 --> 00:19:50.900
 is not necessary.

00:19:51.120 --> 00:19:51.740
 These people

00:19:51.740 --> 00:19:52.740
 are believing

00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:53.440
 the same way

00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:54.660
 that we believe

00:19:54.660 --> 00:19:55.559
 and accept

00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:57.079
 and apart from circumcision,

00:19:57.400 --> 00:19:58.279
 apart from the law,

00:19:58.500 --> 00:19:59.240
 the Holy Spirit

00:19:59.240 --> 00:19:59.980
 is demonstrating

00:19:59.980 --> 00:20:00.700
 his power

00:20:00.700 --> 00:20:02.039
 as would only be evident

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:03.100
 in a redeemed,

00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:04.380
 regenerate person.

00:20:04.380 --> 00:20:06.720
 And so as we study

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:07.400
 the defense

00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:08.480
 of the early church

00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:09.180
 and the defenses

00:20:09.180 --> 00:20:12.220
 of the early New Testament church,

00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:13.480
 we begin to see

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:14.500
 how we too

00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:15.560
 should defend

00:20:15.560 --> 00:20:16.240
 the gospel

00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:17.080
 of justification

00:20:17.080 --> 00:20:18.540
 by Jesus Christ

00:20:18.540 --> 00:20:19.440
 alone

00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:20.620
 and faith in him.

00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:22.700
 The same defenses

00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:24.420
 that the early church used

00:20:24.420 --> 00:20:25.840
 is the same defense

00:20:25.840 --> 00:20:27.380
 that we are to use today.

00:20:28.260 --> 00:20:29.900
 When someone approaches you

00:20:29.900 --> 00:20:31.120
 with a Christian label

00:20:31.120 --> 00:20:31.560
 that says,

00:20:31.660 --> 00:20:31.780
 yeah,

00:20:31.900 --> 00:20:32.620
 I'm a Christian,

00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:33.120
 yeah,

00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:34.179
 I believe Jesus.

00:20:34.459 --> 00:20:34.719
 Yes,

00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:35.739
 I pray to Jesus.

00:20:35.919 --> 00:20:36.119
 Yes,

00:20:36.239 --> 00:20:37.119
 I believe in his death.

00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:37.559
 Yes,

00:20:37.679 --> 00:20:38.879
 I believe in his resurrection.

00:20:39.179 --> 00:20:40.179
 The test is not

00:20:40.179 --> 00:20:41.639
 in their intellectual knowledge.

00:20:41.899 --> 00:20:42.639
 The test is,

00:20:42.899 --> 00:20:44.959
 is it Jesus Christ alone

00:20:44.959 --> 00:20:46.039
 that you trust?

00:20:47.259 --> 00:20:48.239
 And if they say

00:20:48.239 --> 00:20:49.079
 my salvation

00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:50.459
 is found in Christ

00:20:50.459 --> 00:20:51.799
 plus my baptism,

00:20:52.159 --> 00:20:53.819
 that's a false Christian.

00:20:54.059 --> 00:20:54.819
 They're strapping

00:20:54.819 --> 00:20:56.159
 on the works of the law

00:20:56.159 --> 00:20:57.879
 to the gospel of grace

00:20:57.879 --> 00:20:59.679
 and they render Christ's death

00:20:59.679 --> 00:21:01.479
 as insignificant and vain.

00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:03.120
 And if they say,

00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:03.440
 yes,

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:04.420
 I trust in Christ

00:21:04.420 --> 00:21:05.420
 but I have also prayed

00:21:05.420 --> 00:21:06.220
 through my rosary

00:21:06.220 --> 00:21:07.099
 and I've had this system

00:21:07.099 --> 00:21:07.579
 of prayers

00:21:07.579 --> 00:21:08.539
 and I've lit a number

00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:09.019
 of candles

00:21:09.019 --> 00:21:09.660
 and I've gone through

00:21:09.660 --> 00:21:10.839
 a number of processes

00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:12.279
 and I've done the catechisms

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:13.220
 and I've done the Eucharist

00:21:13.220 --> 00:21:14.980
 and I've done the communion

00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:16.079
 and I've done all the things

00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:17.200
 and I go on visitation

00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:19.079
 and I share about Jesus

00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:19.640
 to other people

00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:20.599
 and I serve the poor

00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:21.819
 and I help the widow

00:21:21.819 --> 00:21:22.400
 and I help the orphan.

00:21:22.539 --> 00:21:24.360
 If they attach anything at all

00:21:24.360 --> 00:21:26.140
 to Jesus Christ alone

00:21:26.140 --> 00:21:26.960
 for salvation,

00:21:27.220 --> 00:21:28.860
 it is not a true Christian.

00:21:28.859 --> 00:21:32.000
 And what they end up doing

00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.259
 without intention

00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:37.179
 is they make Christ a liar

00:21:37.179 --> 00:21:39.859
 and they render his death

00:21:39.859 --> 00:21:42.479
 pointless and vain.

00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.259
 So when you approach people

00:21:45.259 --> 00:21:45.920
 in your life

00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:46.380
 and a witness

00:21:46.380 --> 00:21:47.240
 and they tell you,

00:21:47.339 --> 00:21:48.880
 yes, salvation is by this

00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:50.700
 but it's also by this.

00:21:50.900 --> 00:21:52.259
 These are the defenses

00:21:52.259 --> 00:21:53.160
 that we use.

00:21:53.339 --> 00:21:54.240
 Not the defenses

00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:55.220
 of our own logic,

00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:56.079
 the defenses

00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:57.460
 of the Bible

00:21:57.460 --> 00:21:58.400
 and the defenses

00:21:58.400 --> 00:21:59.059
 of the church

00:21:59.059 --> 00:21:59.700
 that have stood

00:21:59.700 --> 00:22:00.960
 the test of time.

00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:02.900
 How can you know

00:22:02.900 --> 00:22:04.079
 the false versus the true?

00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:06.059
 You get really familiar

00:22:06.059 --> 00:22:07.940
 with what the real thing is.

00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:10.779
 So Paul uses verse number two

00:22:10.779 --> 00:22:12.259
 to say warning,

00:22:13.299 --> 00:22:13.940
 beware of dogs,

00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:14.840
 beware of evil workers,

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:15.759
 beware of the concision.

00:22:16.100 --> 00:22:16.740
 And then he says,

00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:19.080
 get to know the truth.

00:22:20.180 --> 00:22:21.080
 And the more familiar

00:22:21.080 --> 00:22:22.340
 you are with the truth,

00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:24.140
 the easier it's going to be

00:22:24.140 --> 00:22:25.220
 to spot the counterfeit.

00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:27.480
 Some of the counterfeits

00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:28.600
 are elaborate

00:22:28.600 --> 00:22:31.120
 and they're difficult

00:22:31.120 --> 00:22:32.740
 and it's hard

00:22:32.740 --> 00:22:33.559
 to wade through it.

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:35.400
 But Paul gives us

00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:35.880
 one of the most

00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:37.580
 comprehensive descriptions here

00:22:37.579 --> 00:22:39.379
 of what a true Christian is

00:22:39.379 --> 00:22:40.399
 in all of the Bible.

00:22:41.419 --> 00:22:41.960
 And he says,

00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:43.579
 here is the true Christian.

00:22:43.859 --> 00:22:44.599
 Here's the marks.

00:22:44.859 --> 00:22:45.439
 Here's how you know

00:22:45.439 --> 00:22:45.899
 the difference

00:22:45.899 --> 00:22:46.779
 between the counterfeit

00:22:46.779 --> 00:22:47.220
 and the true.

00:22:48.379 --> 00:22:49.240
 They worship God

00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:49.720
 in the spirit.

00:22:51.019 --> 00:22:52.079
 They rejoice

00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:53.439
 in Jesus Christ.

00:22:54.259 --> 00:22:55.699
 They take no confidence

00:22:55.699 --> 00:22:56.319
 in the flesh.

00:22:57.339 --> 00:22:58.019
 They worship God

00:22:58.019 --> 00:22:58.500
 in the spirit.

00:22:59.460 --> 00:23:01.359
 They have no confidence

00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:02.079
 in the flesh

00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:03.419
 and they joy

00:23:03.419 --> 00:23:04.559
 in Christ

00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:05.379
 Jesus.

00:23:05.380 --> 00:23:07.600
 notice that

00:23:07.600 --> 00:23:08.260
 these marks

00:23:08.260 --> 00:23:09.320
 do not produce

00:23:09.320 --> 00:23:10.300
 salvation.

00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:12.480
 Did you notice

00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:13.100
 the difference

00:23:13.100 --> 00:23:14.600
 between the false marks

00:23:14.600 --> 00:23:15.380
 and the true marks?

00:23:15.460 --> 00:23:16.140
 Look with me again

00:23:16.140 --> 00:23:16.720
 in verse number two.

00:23:17.100 --> 00:23:17.680
 Beware of dogs,

00:23:17.780 --> 00:23:18.500
 beware of evil workers,

00:23:18.620 --> 00:23:19.440
 beware of the concision.

00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:21.280
 For we are the

00:23:21.280 --> 00:23:22.340
 true circumcision,

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:23.440
 which worship God

00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:23.960
 in the spirit,

00:23:24.280 --> 00:23:25.320
 rejoice in Christ Jesus

00:23:25.320 --> 00:23:26.500
 and have no confidence

00:23:26.500 --> 00:23:27.160
 in the flesh.

00:23:28.080 --> 00:23:28.880
 The marks

00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:29.660
 of the true

00:23:29.660 --> 00:23:31.580
 do not speak

00:23:31.580 --> 00:23:32.840
 of what you do.

00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:36.000
 The things

00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:36.859
 in verse number three

00:23:36.859 --> 00:23:37.740
 are not things

00:23:37.740 --> 00:23:38.679
 that you do.

00:23:39.579 --> 00:23:41.059
 They're not actionable.

00:23:41.959 --> 00:23:42.779
 They don't speak

00:23:42.779 --> 00:23:44.019
 of function.

00:23:44.740 --> 00:23:45.740
 They speak

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:46.480
 of attitude,

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:48.919
 of spirit.

00:23:50.059 --> 00:23:51.459
 They don't produce

00:23:51.459 --> 00:23:52.099
 salvation.

00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:54.659
 They only give evidence

00:23:54.659 --> 00:23:56.259
 of an inward reality.

00:23:57.299 --> 00:23:58.259
 But each of these

00:23:58.259 --> 00:23:58.879
 three marks

00:23:58.879 --> 00:24:00.019
 do represent

00:24:00.019 --> 00:24:01.259
 a different facet

00:24:01.259 --> 00:24:02.480
 of our response

00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:03.160
 to the gospel.

00:24:03.619 --> 00:24:03.980
 And that's how

00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:04.599
 I want to frame it.

00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:05.039
 First thing,

00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:05.779
 write it down quickly.

00:24:06.339 --> 00:24:07.140
 True worship.

00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:09.940
 True worship.

00:24:10.420 --> 00:24:11.339
 It's the first mark.

00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:12.200
 Worship God

00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:12.859
 in the spirit.

00:24:13.900 --> 00:24:14.779
 Christians are

00:24:14.779 --> 00:24:15.519
 fundamentally

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.480
 worshipers

00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:17.759
 of God.

00:24:18.460 --> 00:24:18.920
 In fact,

00:24:18.940 --> 00:24:19.599
 that's the whole

00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:20.720
 purpose of salvation.

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:22.839
 God has made it

00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:23.819
 possible for us

00:24:23.819 --> 00:24:24.519
 to bring him

00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:25.079
 the glory

00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:26.019
 that we were

00:24:26.019 --> 00:24:27.240
 created to give.

00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:28.500
 And through

00:24:28.500 --> 00:24:29.180
 the imputed

00:24:29.180 --> 00:24:29.759
 righteousness

00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:30.539
 of Christ

00:24:30.539 --> 00:24:31.319
 by faith,

00:24:31.879 --> 00:24:32.599
 we are then

00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:33.359
 made to be

00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:34.559
 true worshipers

00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:35.700
 by the indwelling

00:24:35.700 --> 00:24:36.740
 power of the

00:24:36.740 --> 00:24:37.379
 Holy Spirit.

00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:38.940
 But there's a lot

00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:39.599
 of confusion

00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:40.839
 about what

00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:41.660
 worship actually

00:24:41.660 --> 00:24:42.220
 is.

00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:44.400
 The Judaizers

00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:44.960
 would have said,

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:45.680
 of course we

00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:46.099
 worship.

00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:47.720
 We worship

00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:48.359
 faithfully

00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:49.279
 and committedly.

00:24:50.140 --> 00:24:50.980
 But worship

00:24:50.980 --> 00:24:52.180
 is not a mere

00:24:52.180 --> 00:24:53.559
 external practice

00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:54.640
 of religious

00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:55.140
 rituals

00:24:55.140 --> 00:24:56.059
 that takes place

00:24:56.059 --> 00:24:56.819
 in a specific

00:24:56.819 --> 00:24:58.579
 dynamic

00:24:58.579 --> 00:24:59.399
 or place.

00:25:00.139 --> 00:25:00.879
 True worship

00:25:00.879 --> 00:25:02.399
 is a matter

00:25:02.399 --> 00:25:03.139
 of the heart

00:25:03.139 --> 00:25:04.859
 and is ultimately

00:25:04.859 --> 00:25:06.139
 exercised in our

00:25:06.139 --> 00:25:07.119
 spirit before

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:08.379
 ever being

00:25:08.379 --> 00:25:09.079
 demonstrated

00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:10.019
 in an outward

00:25:10.019 --> 00:25:10.679
 form.

00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:12.759
 True worship

00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:13.679
 is not what

00:25:13.679 --> 00:25:14.439
 you do.

00:25:15.419 --> 00:25:16.179
 It is your

00:25:16.179 --> 00:25:17.179
 response to

00:25:17.179 --> 00:25:18.159
 who God is

00:25:18.159 --> 00:25:19.000
 and what

00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:19.839
 he has

00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:20.720
 done.

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:22.259
 Many Christians

00:25:22.259 --> 00:25:23.720
 define worship

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:25.319
 in a way

00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:26.019
 that is only

00:25:26.019 --> 00:25:27.019
 meant to be

00:25:27.019 --> 00:25:27.500
 an element

00:25:27.500 --> 00:25:28.779
 of praise

00:25:28.779 --> 00:25:29.900
 or recognition.

00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:31.440
 For instance,

00:25:32.100 --> 00:25:32.799
 many only think

00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:33.319
 of singing

00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:33.819
 when they

00:25:33.819 --> 00:25:34.579
 consider worship.

00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:36.059
 Churches will

00:25:36.059 --> 00:25:37.440
 have a staff

00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:38.000
 member that they

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:38.740
 call the worship

00:25:38.740 --> 00:25:39.519
 pastor and really

00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:40.279
 what it is is the

00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:40.980
 music director.

00:25:41.180 --> 00:25:42.259
 It's their song

00:25:42.259 --> 00:25:42.559
 leader.

00:25:43.420 --> 00:25:44.100
 But what they

00:25:44.100 --> 00:25:44.779
 correlate in their

00:25:44.779 --> 00:25:45.600
 minds to worship

00:25:45.600 --> 00:25:46.319
 is really just

00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:47.039
 limited down

00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:48.579
 to singing.

00:25:49.460 --> 00:25:50.420
 But true worship

00:25:50.420 --> 00:25:51.299
 is really a matter

00:25:51.299 --> 00:25:52.079
 of how you live

00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:52.740
 your life.

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:54.480
 It's all

00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:55.379
 encompassing

00:25:55.379 --> 00:25:56.519
 in the thoughts

00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:57.319
 and actions

00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:58.480
 of a true

00:25:58.480 --> 00:25:58.899
 Christian.

00:25:59.899 --> 00:26:00.639
 It's our

00:26:00.639 --> 00:26:01.639
 response to

00:26:01.639 --> 00:26:02.240
 the wonderful

00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:03.819
 grace of God

00:26:03.819 --> 00:26:04.379
 that has been

00:26:04.379 --> 00:26:05.099
 given to us

00:26:05.099 --> 00:26:06.559
 in the gospel.

00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:08.220
 Our worship

00:26:08.220 --> 00:26:09.460
 does not provide

00:26:09.460 --> 00:26:10.139
 salvation.

00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:12.200
 It's a response

00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:13.399
 to our

00:26:13.399 --> 00:26:14.159
 salvation.

00:26:15.619 --> 00:26:16.359
 For the true

00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:16.759
 Christian,

00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:17.740
 every moment

00:26:17.740 --> 00:26:18.559
 of your life

00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:19.099
 is an act

00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:19.619
 of worship.

00:26:19.619 --> 00:26:21.639
 every decision

00:26:21.639 --> 00:26:22.319
 we make

00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:22.799
 is to be a

00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:23.479
 response to

00:26:23.479 --> 00:26:23.919
 the character

00:26:23.919 --> 00:26:24.539
 of God

00:26:24.539 --> 00:26:25.439
 and what he

00:26:25.439 --> 00:26:25.879
 has done

00:26:25.879 --> 00:26:26.679
 for us

00:26:26.679 --> 00:26:27.439
 in Jesus

00:26:27.439 --> 00:26:28.079
 Christ.

00:26:28.899 --> 00:26:29.419
 And limiting

00:26:29.419 --> 00:26:29.939
 worship

00:26:29.939 --> 00:26:31.519
 to an external

00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:32.159
 ritual

00:26:32.159 --> 00:26:34.359
 actually angers

00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:35.319
 God.

00:26:36.659 --> 00:26:37.619
 Samuel wrote

00:26:37.619 --> 00:26:39.039
 that he told

00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:39.899
 King Saul

00:26:39.899 --> 00:26:41.219
 that hath the

00:26:41.219 --> 00:26:42.019
 Lord as great

00:26:42.019 --> 00:26:42.899
 delight in burnt

00:26:42.899 --> 00:26:43.659
 offerings and

00:26:43.659 --> 00:26:44.759
 sacrifices as in

00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:45.579
 obeying the voice

00:26:45.579 --> 00:26:46.059
 of the Lord?

00:26:47.139 --> 00:26:47.439
 He says,

00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:47.960
 behold,

00:26:48.539 --> 00:26:49.340
 to obey

00:26:49.340 --> 00:26:50.299
 is better

00:26:50.299 --> 00:26:51.440
 than sacrifice

00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:52.680
 and to

00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:53.160
 hearken

00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:54.400
 than the fat

00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:55.059
 of rams.

00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:56.500
 Turn with me

00:26:56.500 --> 00:26:56.740
 quickly.

00:26:56.840 --> 00:26:57.100
 I want you to

00:26:57.100 --> 00:26:57.400
 see this.

00:26:57.660 --> 00:26:58.460
 Isaiah chapter

00:26:58.460 --> 00:26:58.840
 one.

00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:00.559
 Isaiah chapter

00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:01.000
 one.

00:27:07.180 --> 00:27:07.960
 Listen to what

00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:08.680
 God says to

00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:09.220
 the nation of

00:27:09.220 --> 00:27:09.580
 Israel.

00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:11.720
 Isaiah chapter

00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:12.140
 one,

00:27:12.259 --> 00:27:13.299
 verse number

00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:13.700
 11.

00:27:13.700 --> 00:27:13.820
 Verse number

00:27:13.820 --> 00:27:13.779
 11.

00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:20.559
 God says,

00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:21.680
 to what

00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:22.160
 purpose

00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:22.879
 is the

00:27:22.879 --> 00:27:23.259
 multitude

00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:23.740
 of your

00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:24.420
 sacrifices

00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:24.960
 unto me?

00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:25.420
 That was

00:27:25.420 --> 00:27:25.980
 the external

00:27:25.980 --> 00:27:26.379
 worship.

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:27.779
 That was

00:27:27.779 --> 00:27:28.079
 the way

00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:28.399
 they went

00:27:28.399 --> 00:27:28.700
 through their

00:27:28.700 --> 00:27:29.019
 worship

00:27:29.019 --> 00:27:29.619
 rituals,

00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:30.639
 sacrifices,

00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:31.079
 the whole

00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:31.579
 system,

00:27:32.139 --> 00:27:32.680
 celebrations,

00:27:33.019 --> 00:27:33.359
 festivals,

00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:33.799
 the new

00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:34.039
 moons,

00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:34.440
 all of

00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:34.799
 these things

00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:35.160
 God had

00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:35.639
 outlined in

00:27:35.639 --> 00:27:35.960
 the law

00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:36.500
 for them

00:27:36.500 --> 00:27:37.039
 to observe.

00:27:37.299 --> 00:27:37.460
 But he

00:27:37.460 --> 00:27:37.639
 says,

00:27:37.740 --> 00:27:38.079
 to what

00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:38.500
 purpose

00:27:38.500 --> 00:27:38.819
 is the

00:27:38.819 --> 00:27:39.139
 multitude

00:27:39.139 --> 00:27:39.519
 of your

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:40.119
 sacrifices

00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:40.639
 unto me?

00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:41.279
 Sayeth

00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:41.660
 the Lord.

00:27:41.660 --> 00:27:43.019
 I am

00:27:43.019 --> 00:27:43.980
 full of

00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:44.340
 burnt

00:27:44.340 --> 00:27:44.800
 offerings

00:27:44.800 --> 00:27:45.040
 of

00:27:45.040 --> 00:27:45.300
 rams.

00:27:45.360 --> 00:27:45.540
 In other

00:27:45.540 --> 00:27:45.660
 words,

00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:46.100
 I am

00:27:46.100 --> 00:27:46.660
 sick and

00:27:46.660 --> 00:27:47.140
 tired of

00:27:47.140 --> 00:27:47.380
 burnt

00:27:47.380 --> 00:27:47.720
 offerings

00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:47.960
 of

00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:48.320
 rams

00:27:48.320 --> 00:27:48.880
 and the

00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:49.180
 fat

00:27:49.180 --> 00:27:49.380
 of

00:27:49.380 --> 00:27:49.620
 fed

00:27:49.620 --> 00:27:50.040
 beasts

00:27:50.040 --> 00:27:50.560
 and I

00:27:50.560 --> 00:27:51.000
 delight

00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:51.640
 not

00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:52.100
 in the

00:27:52.100 --> 00:27:52.380
 blood

00:27:52.380 --> 00:27:52.580
 of

00:27:52.580 --> 00:27:53.060
 bulls

00:27:53.060 --> 00:27:53.360
 or of

00:27:53.360 --> 00:27:53.800
 lambs

00:27:53.800 --> 00:27:54.060
 or of

00:28:03.180 --> 00:28:03.700
 Incense

00:28:03.700 --> 00:28:04.040
 is an

00:28:04.040 --> 00:28:04.600
 abomination

00:28:04.600 --> 00:28:05.180
 to me,

 Solemn

00:28:16.080 --> 00:28:17.180
 holiest

00:28:17.180 --> 00:28:17.880

00:28:18.120 --> 00:28:18.460
 Day of

00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:19.019

00:28:19.980 --> 00:28:20.120
 Your

00:28:20.120 --> 00:28:20.440

00:28:22.320 --> 00:28:23.160

00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:23.800

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:24.620
 They are

00:28:24.620 --> 00:28:25.100
 a trouble

00:28:25.100 --> 00:28:25.660
 unto me.

00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:26.320
 I am

00:28:26.320 --> 00:28:26.620
 weary

00:28:26.620 --> 00:28:27.060
 to bear

00:28:27.060 --> 00:28:27.360
 them.

00:28:27.560 --> 00:28:27.880
 And when

00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:28.380
 you spread

00:28:28.380 --> 00:28:28.900
 forth your

00:28:28.900 --> 00:28:29.259

00:28:29.320 --> 00:28:29.620
 that is

00:28:29.620 --> 00:28:30.140
 in praise

00:28:30.140 --> 00:28:30.519

00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:30.840

00:28:31.019 --> 00:28:31.480
 I will

00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:31.800
 hide

00:28:31.800 --> 00:28:32.320
 my eyes

00:28:32.320 --> 00:28:32.800
 from you.

00:28:33.540 --> 00:28:33.720
 Yea,

00:28:33.779 --> 00:28:34.060
 when you

00:28:34.060 --> 00:28:34.560
 make many

00:28:34.560 --> 00:28:35.019

00:28:35.220 --> 00:28:35.740
 I will

00:28:36.259 --> 00:28:36.580

00:28:36.840 --> 00:28:37.000
 Your

00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:37.500
 hands

00:28:37.500 --> 00:28:38.019
 are full

00:28:38.019 --> 00:28:38.580
 of blood.

00:28:39.019 --> 00:28:39.320
 Wash

00:28:39.320 --> 00:28:39.660

00:28:40.060 --> 00:28:40.320

00:28:40.320 --> 00:28:40.960

00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:41.759
 put away

00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:42.259

00:28:42.259 --> 00:28:42.559
 of your

00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:43.100

00:28:43.100 --> 00:28:43.779

00:28:43.779 --> 00:28:44.340

00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:44.720
 Cease

00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:45.019
 to do

00:28:45.019 --> 00:28:45.340
 evil.

00:28:45.740 --> 00:28:45.980
 Learn

00:28:45.980 --> 00:28:46.299
 to do

00:28:46.299 --> 00:28:46.620
 well.

00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:47.220
 Seek

00:28:47.220 --> 00:28:47.640
 judgment.

00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:48.120
 Relieve

00:28:48.120 --> 00:28:48.259

00:28:48.259 --> 00:28:48.700

00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:49.140
 Judge

00:28:49.140 --> 00:28:49.360
 the

00:28:49.360 --> 00:28:49.720
 fathers.

00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:50.240
 Plead

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:50.799
 for the

00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:50.980
 widow.

00:28:51.140 --> 00:28:51.240
 And

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:51.460
 then he

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:51.720
 says,

00:28:52.059 --> 00:28:52.279
 come

00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:52.640
 now

00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:53.019

00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:53.940
 together,

00:28:54.140 --> 00:28:54.299
 saith

00:28:54.299 --> 00:28:54.460
 the

00:28:54.460 --> 00:28:54.720
 Lord.

00:28:59.100 --> 00:28:59.380

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:00.620
 Though

00:29:01.299 --> 00:29:01.539
 like

00:29:02.380 --> 00:29:02.539
 they

00:29:02.539 --> 00:29:02.819
 shall

00:29:02.819 --> 00:29:02.980

00:29:02.980 --> 00:29:03.200
 as

00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:03.500
 wool.

00:29:03.740 --> 00:29:04.100
 What's

00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:05.539
 telling

00:29:05.539 --> 00:29:05.720

 Israel

00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:06.579
 there?

00:29:07.220 --> 00:29:07.660
 He

00:29:07.660 --> 00:29:07.880
 says,

00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:11.100

00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:44.460
 interested

00:29:44.460 --> 00:29:44.960
 in

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:45.180
 the

00:29:45.180 --> 00:29:45.539
 genuine

00:29:45.539 --> 00:29:46.059
 nature

00:29:46.059 --> 00:29:46.359
 of

00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:46.519
 your

00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:46.859
 heart

00:29:46.859 --> 00:29:47.279
 and

00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:47.460
 your

00:29:47.460 --> 00:29:47.859
 spirit.

00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:48.299
 So

00:29:48.299 --> 00:29:48.599
 Paul

00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:48.920
 says

00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:49.099
 the

00:29:49.099 --> 00:29:49.420
 first

00:29:49.420 --> 00:29:50.039
 indication

00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:50.220
 of

00:29:50.220 --> 00:29:50.339
 a

00:29:50.339 --> 00:29:50.640
 true

00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:51.200
 Christian

00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:51.480
 is

00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:51.859
 somebody

00:29:51.859 --> 00:29:52.119
 that

00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:52.599
 doesn't

00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:53.059
 worship

00:29:53.059 --> 00:29:53.279
 the

00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:53.500
 Lord

00:29:53.500 --> 00:29:53.980
 in

00:29:58.259 --> 00:29:58.759
 spirit.

00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:00.920
 The

00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:01.500
 Judaizers

00:30:01.500 --> 00:30:01.859
 cared

00:30:01.859 --> 00:30:02.220
 all

00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:02.579
 about

00:30:02.579 --> 00:30:02.799
 the

00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:03.259
 outward

00:30:03.259 --> 00:30:03.879
 part.

00:30:04.700 --> 00:30:05.059
 They

00:30:05.059 --> 00:30:05.359
 cared

00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:05.579
 about

00:30:05.579 --> 00:30:05.799
 the

00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:06.440
 circumcision

00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:06.660
 and

00:30:06.660 --> 00:30:06.799
 the

00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:07.140
 laws

00:30:07.140 --> 00:30:07.279
 and

00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:07.420
 they

00:30:07.420 --> 00:30:07.619
 cared

00:30:07.619 --> 00:30:07.859
 about

00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:08.059
 the

00:30:08.059 --> 00:30:08.460
 meetings

00:30:08.460 --> 00:30:08.660
 and

00:30:08.660 --> 00:30:08.819
 the

00:30:08.819 --> 00:30:09.180
 Sabbath

00:30:09.180 --> 00:30:09.440
 and

00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:09.579
 the

00:30:09.579 --> 00:30:09.819
 holy

00:30:09.819 --> 00:30:10.140
 days

00:30:10.140 --> 00:30:10.299
 and

00:30:10.299 --> 00:30:10.480
 the

00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:11.140
 festivals

00:30:11.140 --> 00:30:11.500
 and

00:30:11.500 --> 00:30:12.019
 all

00:30:12.019 --> 00:30:12.180
 the

00:30:12.180 --> 00:30:12.359
 things.

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:12.779
 That's

00:30:12.779 --> 00:30:12.940
 what

00:30:12.940 --> 00:30:13.119
 they

00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:13.359
 cared

00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:13.539
 about.

00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:14.160
 That's

00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:14.400
 what

00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:14.640
 they

00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:15.059
 wanted.

00:30:15.299 --> 00:30:15.420
 But

00:30:15.420 --> 00:30:15.680
 God

00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:16.000
 said

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:16.460
 that's

00:30:16.460 --> 00:30:16.759
 not

00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:17.180
 it.

00:30:17.819 --> 00:30:18.339
 Those

00:30:18.339 --> 00:30:18.759
 things

00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:19.160
 can't

00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:19.460
 help

00:30:19.460 --> 00:30:19.859
 you.

00:30:20.420 --> 00:30:20.680
 Those

00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:20.960
 things

00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:21.099
 are

00:30:21.099 --> 00:30:21.200
 to

00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:21.379
 be

00:30:21.379 --> 00:30:21.559
 a

00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:22.220
 sign

00:30:22.220 --> 00:30:22.720
 to

00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:23.259
 you

00:30:23.259 --> 00:30:23.779
 of

00:30:23.779 --> 00:30:23.980
 the

00:30:23.980 --> 00:30:24.519
 salvation

00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:24.900
 I

00:30:24.900 --> 00:30:25.579
 provide

00:30:25.579 --> 00:30:26.619
 alone

00:30:26.619 --> 00:30:27.279
 through

00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:27.619
 my

00:30:27.619 --> 00:30:28.119
 son

00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:28.819
 Jesus

00:30:28.819 --> 00:30:29.319
 Christ.

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:29.839
 There's

00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:30.099
 a lot

00:30:30.099 --> 00:30:30.220
 of

00:30:30.220 --> 00:30:30.579
 people

00:30:30.579 --> 00:30:31.180
 that

00:30:31.180 --> 00:30:31.319
 say

00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:31.480
 they're

00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:31.900
 Christian

00:30:31.900 --> 00:30:32.420
 and

00:30:32.420 --> 00:30:32.639
 guess

00:30:32.639 --> 00:30:32.920
 what?

00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:33.240
 They

00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:33.500
 go to

00:30:33.500 --> 00:30:33.700
 church

00:30:33.700 --> 00:30:34.079
 every

00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:34.539
 single

00:30:34.539 --> 00:30:35.000
 Sunday.

00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:35.319
 They

00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:35.740
 don't

00:30:35.740 --> 00:30:36.039
 miss

00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:36.279
 a

00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:36.579
 Sunday.

00:30:37.940 --> 00:30:38.139
 They

00:30:38.139 --> 00:30:38.319
 will

00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:38.680
 find

00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:38.879
 their

00:30:38.879 --> 00:30:39.319
 place

00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:39.539
 in

00:30:39.539 --> 00:30:39.859
 worship

00:30:39.859 --> 00:30:40.180
 at

00:30:40.180 --> 00:30:40.359
 10

00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:40.720
 o'clock

00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:41.079
 every

00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:41.440

00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:41.759
 morning.

00:30:42.099 --> 00:30:42.200
 They

00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:42.400
 will

00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:42.819
 sing

00:30:42.819 --> 00:30:43.299
 the

00:30:43.299 --> 00:30:43.740
 songs.

00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:44.259
 They

00:30:44.259 --> 00:30:44.559
 will

00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:45.059
 open

00:30:45.059 --> 00:30:45.500
 their

00:30:45.500 --> 00:30:45.940
 Bibles.

00:30:46.139 --> 00:30:46.200
 They

00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:46.379
 will

00:30:46.379 --> 00:30:46.700
 take

00:30:46.700 --> 00:30:46.920
 the

00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:47.200
 notes.

00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:47.400
 They

00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:47.579
 will

00:30:47.579 --> 00:30:47.980
 serve

00:30:47.980 --> 00:30:48.259
 in

00:30:48.259 --> 00:30:48.400
 the

00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:48.900
 ministries.

00:30:48.900 --> 00:30:49.319
 But

00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:49.660
 all

00:30:49.660 --> 00:30:49.900
 they

00:30:49.900 --> 00:30:50.180
 care

00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:54.519


00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:54.599
 an

00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:55.079
 evidence

00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:55.559
 of

00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:55.839
 true

00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:56.240
 worship.

00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:57.039
 True

00:30:57.039 --> 00:30:57.440
 worship

00:30:57.440 --> 00:30:58.160
 is a

00:30:58.160 --> 00:30:58.500
 matter

00:30:58.500 --> 00:30:58.839
 of

00:30:58.839 --> 00:30:59.039
 your

00:30:59.039 --> 00:30:59.539
 spirit

00:30:59.539 --> 00:31:00.299
 towards

00:31:00.299 --> 00:31:01.079
 God.

00:31:01.940 --> 00:31:02.079
 And

00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:02.299
 while

00:31:02.299 --> 00:31:02.480
 we're

00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:02.799
 there,

00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:04.379
 I'll

00:31:04.379 --> 00:31:04.519
 just

00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:04.799
 mention

00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:05.000
 how

00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:05.420
 guilty

00:31:05.420 --> 00:31:05.680
 we

00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:05.839
 can

00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:06.180
 be

00:31:06.180 --> 00:31:07.400
 of

00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:07.720
 often

00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:08.259
 judging

00:31:08.259 --> 00:31:09.019
 the

00:31:09.019 --> 00:31:09.639
 sincerity

00:31:09.639 --> 00:31:10.279
 of

00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:10.500
 another

00:31:10.500 --> 00:31:11.019
 person's

00:31:11.019 --> 00:31:11.339
 heart

00:31:11.339 --> 00:31:11.539
 on

00:31:11.539 --> 00:31:11.720
 the

00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:12.259
 basis

00:31:12.259 --> 00:31:13.000
 of

00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:13.220
 their

00:31:13.220 --> 00:31:13.639
 outward

00:31:13.639 --> 00:31:14.519
 forms

00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:15.019
 of

00:31:15.019 --> 00:31:15.359
 worship.

00:31:16.819 --> 00:31:17.420
 How

00:31:17.420 --> 00:31:17.759
 guilty

00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:17.980
 are

00:31:17.980 --> 00:31:18.139
 we

00:31:18.139 --> 00:31:18.339
 as

00:31:18.339 --> 00:31:18.859
 Christians

00:31:18.859 --> 00:31:20.700
 of

00:31:20.700 --> 00:31:21.079
 judging

00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:21.319
 a

00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:21.799
 person

00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:22.259
 and

00:31:22.259 --> 00:31:22.420
 their

00:31:22.420 --> 00:31:22.779
 worship

00:31:22.779 --> 00:31:22.980
 on

00:31:22.980 --> 00:31:23.139
 the

00:31:23.139 --> 00:31:23.500
 basis

00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:23.740
 of

00:31:23.740 --> 00:31:23.900
 whether

00:31:23.900 --> 00:31:24.139
 or not

00:31:24.139 --> 00:31:24.299
 their

00:31:24.299 --> 00:31:24.659
 voice

00:31:24.659 --> 00:31:24.859
 is

00:31:24.859 --> 00:31:25.139
 loud

00:31:25.139 --> 00:31:25.579
 enough

00:31:25.579 --> 00:31:27.399
 and

00:31:27.399 --> 00:31:27.579
 their

00:31:27.579 --> 00:31:27.940
 hands

00:31:27.940 --> 00:31:28.139
 are

00:31:28.139 --> 00:31:28.819
 high

00:31:28.819 --> 00:31:29.299
 enough

00:31:29.299 --> 00:31:30.319
 or

00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:30.460
 their

00:31:30.460 --> 00:31:30.680
 tears

00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:30.879
 are

00:31:30.879 --> 00:31:31.220
 wet

00:31:31.220 --> 00:31:32.059
 enough.

00:31:33.339 --> 00:31:33.680
 And

00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:33.799
 when

00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:34.000
 we

00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:34.200
 do

00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:34.579
 that,

00:31:35.180 --> 00:31:35.619
 we

00:31:35.619 --> 00:31:36.180
 contribute

00:31:36.180 --> 00:31:36.480
 to

00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:36.639
 an

00:31:36.639 --> 00:31:37.139
 error

00:31:37.139 --> 00:31:37.899
 that

00:31:37.899 --> 00:31:38.200
 says

00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:38.419
 that

00:31:38.419 --> 00:31:38.779
 worship

00:31:38.779 --> 00:31:39.059
 is

00:31:39.059 --> 00:31:39.399
 summed

00:31:39.399 --> 00:31:39.579
 up

00:31:39.579 --> 00:31:39.680
 in

00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:39.879
 an

00:31:39.879 --> 00:31:40.419
 external

00:31:40.419 --> 00:31:41.379
 performance.

00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:42.519
 That's

00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:42.720
 not

00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:43.000
 true

00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:43.399
 worship.

00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:44.960
 True

00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:45.339
 worship

00:31:45.339 --> 00:31:45.740
 is a

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:45.940
 matter

00:31:45.940 --> 00:31:46.119
 of

00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:46.259
 your

00:31:46.259 --> 00:31:46.859
 heart's

00:31:46.859 --> 00:31:47.579
 response

00:31:47.579 --> 00:31:47.960
 toward

00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:48.399
 God

00:31:48.399 --> 00:31:48.639
 and

00:31:48.639 --> 00:31:48.819
 it's

00:31:48.819 --> 00:31:49.099
 not

00:31:49.099 --> 00:31:49.399
 limited

00:31:49.399 --> 00:31:49.599
 to

00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:49.740
 a

00:31:49.740 --> 00:31:49.940
 church

00:31:49.940 --> 00:31:50.319
 service.

00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:50.859
 It

00:31:50.859 --> 00:31:51.019
 is

00:31:51.019 --> 00:31:51.399
 all

00:31:51.399 --> 00:31:52.119
 encompassing

00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:52.480
 every

00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:52.839
 moment

00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:53.059
 of

00:31:53.059 --> 00:31:53.319
 every

00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:53.599
 day

00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:53.919
 of

00:31:53.919 --> 00:31:54.119
 your

00:31:54.119 --> 00:31:54.679
 life.

00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:56.419
 So what

00:31:56.419 --> 00:31:56.539
 does

00:31:56.539 --> 00:31:56.980
 worshiping

00:31:56.980 --> 00:31:57.099
 God

00:31:57.099 --> 00:31:57.279
 in the

00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:57.579
 spirit

00:31:57.579 --> 00:31:57.959
 actually

00:31:57.959 --> 00:31:58.419
 mean?

00:31:59.959 --> 00:32:00.359
 In

00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:01.079
 contrast to

00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:01.219
 the

00:32:01.219 --> 00:32:01.799
 Judaizers

00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:02.079
 who

00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:02.339
 viewed

00:32:02.339 --> 00:32:02.679
 worship

00:32:02.679 --> 00:32:03.039
 as an

00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:03.359
 external

00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:04.139
 exercise,

00:32:04.959 --> 00:32:05.319
 true

00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:05.799
 Christians

00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:06.099
 are

00:32:06.099 --> 00:32:06.519
 concerned

00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:06.719
 with

00:32:06.719 --> 00:32:06.899
 their

00:32:06.899 --> 00:32:07.339
 spirit

00:32:07.339 --> 00:32:07.719
 towards

00:32:07.719 --> 00:32:08.059
 God.

00:32:08.059 --> 00:32:09.799
 God

00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:09.779
 I

00:32:09.779 --> 00:32:09.879
 will

00:32:09.879 --> 00:32:09.980
 have

00:32:09.980 --> 00:32:10.059
 you

00:32:10.059 --> 00:32:10.319
 turn

00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:10.539
 there

00:32:10.539 --> 00:32:10.659
 we

00:32:10.659 --> 00:32:10.759
 don't

00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:10.879
 have

00:32:10.879 --> 00:32:11.220
 time

00:32:11.220 --> 00:32:11.500
 now

00:32:11.500 --> 00:32:11.779
 but

00:32:11.779 --> 00:32:11.980
 if

00:32:11.980 --> 00:32:12.039

00:34:57.420 --> 00:34:57.679
 Lord

00:34:57.679 --> 00:34:59.280
 what

00:34:59.280 --> 00:34:59.440
 is

00:34:59.440 --> 00:34:59.679
 true

00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:00.039
 faith

00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:01.559
 true

00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:01.920
 faith

00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:02.099
 is

00:35:02.099 --> 00:35:02.659
 acknowledging

00:35:02.659 --> 00:35:03.860
 that

00:35:03.860 --> 00:35:04.059
 it's

00:35:04.059 --> 00:35:04.400
 actually

00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:04.740
 only

00:35:04.740 --> 00:35:04.960
 of

00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:05.420
 Christ

00:35:05.420 --> 00:35:06.800
 that

00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:06.940
 you

00:35:06.940 --> 00:35:07.099
 can

00:35:07.099 --> 00:35:07.300
 be

00:35:07.300 --> 00:35:07.679
 saved

00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:09.260
 the

00:35:09.260 --> 00:35:09.639
 battle

00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:10.039
 between

00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:10.400
 the

00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:10.599
 true

00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:10.980
 Christians

00:35:10.980 --> 00:35:11.139
 and

00:35:11.139 --> 00:35:11.260
 the

00:35:11.260 --> 00:35:11.500
 false

00:35:11.500 --> 00:35:11.860
 Christians

00:35:11.860 --> 00:35:12.019
 in

00:35:12.019 --> 00:35:12.119
 the

00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:12.340
 early

00:35:12.340 --> 00:35:12.659
 church

00:35:12.659 --> 00:35:12.900
 had

00:35:12.900 --> 00:35:13.039
 to

00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:13.159
 do

00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:13.340
 with

00:35:13.340 --> 00:35:13.599
 what

00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:13.820
 made

00:35:13.820 --> 00:35:13.960
 a

00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:14.260
 person

00:35:14.260 --> 00:35:14.639
 righteous

00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:15.039
 before

00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:15.440
 God

00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:16.860
 the

00:35:16.860 --> 00:35:17.360
 Judaizers

00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:17.840
 believed

00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:18.079
 it was

00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:18.260
 their

00:35:18.260 --> 00:35:18.440
 own

00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:18.900
 goodness

00:35:18.900 --> 00:35:19.860
 the

00:35:19.860 --> 00:35:20.119
 true

00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:20.460
 Christian

00:35:20.460 --> 00:35:21.059
 recognizes

00:35:21.059 --> 00:35:21.340
 that

00:35:21.340 --> 00:35:21.639
 that's

00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:22.039
 futile

00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:23.440
 and

00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:23.539
 that

00:35:23.539 --> 00:35:23.699
 it's

00:35:23.699 --> 00:35:23.980
 actually

00:35:23.980 --> 00:35:24.320
 only

00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:24.840
 Christ

00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:25.860
 that

00:35:25.860 --> 00:35:26.059
 can

00:35:26.059 --> 00:35:26.380
 truly

00:35:26.380 --> 00:35:26.679
 make

00:35:26.679 --> 00:35:26.820
 you

00:35:26.820 --> 00:35:27.099
 righteous

00:35:27.099 --> 00:35:27.460
 before

00:35:27.460 --> 00:35:27.780
 God

00:35:27.780 --> 00:35:28.780
 so

00:35:28.780 --> 00:35:28.960
 then

00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:29.079
 the

00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:29.320
 true

00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:29.659
 Christian

00:35:29.659 --> 00:35:29.880
 does

00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:30.079
 not

00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:30.340
 boast

00:35:30.340 --> 00:35:30.500
 in

00:35:30.500 --> 00:35:30.659
 what

00:35:30.659 --> 00:35:30.840
 they

00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:31.199
 do

00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:33.220
 they

00:35:33.220 --> 00:35:33.500
 boast

00:35:33.500 --> 00:35:34.039
 only

00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:34.880
 in

00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:35.079
 what

00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:35.380
 Christ

00:35:35.380 --> 00:35:35.599
 has

00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:35.960
 done

00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:38.559
 there's

00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:38.699
 a

00:35:38.699 --> 00:35:38.960
 song

00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:39.240
 that

00:35:39.240 --> 00:35:40.380
 I

00:35:40.380 --> 00:35:40.619
 know

00:35:40.619 --> 00:35:40.900
 that

00:35:40.900 --> 00:35:41.320
 we'll

00:35:41.320 --> 00:35:41.519
 sing

00:35:41.519 --> 00:35:41.760
 here

00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:42.099
 at

00:35:42.099 --> 00:35:42.300
 some

00:35:42.300 --> 00:35:42.519
 point

00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:42.659
 I'm

00:35:42.659 --> 00:35:42.880
 sure

00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:43.059
 it's

00:35:43.059 --> 00:35:43.199
 called

00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:43.360
 my

00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:43.639
 worth

00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:43.780
 is

00:35:43.780 --> 00:35:43.960
 not

00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:44.059
 in

00:35:44.059 --> 00:35:44.199
 what

 I

00:35:44.340 --> 00:35:44.579
 own

00:35:44.579 --> 00:35:45.860
 some

00:35:45.860 --> 00:35:45.940
 of

00:35:45.940 --> 00:35:46.039
 the

 say

00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:46.940
 this

00:35:46.940 --> 00:35:47.340
 two

00:35:47.340 --> 00:35:47.800
 wonders

00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:48.039
 here

00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:48.200
 that

00:35:48.200 --> 00:35:48.380
 I

00:35:48.380 --> 00:35:48.960
 confess

 my

00:35:49.980 --> 00:35:50.440
 worth

00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:51.240

00:35:51.240 --> 00:35:51.480
 my

00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:52.220
 unworthiness

00:35:52.220 --> 00:35:53.840
 my

00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:54.380
 value

00:35:54.380 --> 00:35:54.940
 fixed

00:35:55.780 --> 00:35:56.220
 ransom

00:35:56.220 --> 00:35:56.600
 paid

00:35:56.600 --> 00:35:56.780
 at

00:35:56.780 --> 00:35:56.900
 the

00:35:56.900 --> 00:35:57.260
 cross

00:35:57.260 --> 00:35:58.640
 the

00:35:58.640 --> 00:35:58.880
 writer

00:35:58.880 --> 00:35:59.240
 says

00:35:59.240 --> 00:35:59.360
 that

00:35:59.360 --> 00:35:59.560
 on

00:35:59.560 --> 00:35:59.820
 one

00:35:59.820 --> 00:36:00.200
 side

00:36:00.200 --> 00:36:00.500
 I

00:36:00.500 --> 00:36:00.760
 am

00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:01.900
 immeasurably

00:36:01.900 --> 00:36:03.240
 worthy

00:36:03.239 --> 00:36:03.759
 and valuable

00:36:03.759 --> 00:36:04.019

00:36:04.019 --> 00:36:04.239
 my

 savior

00:36:04.619 --> 00:36:04.959
 Jesus

00:36:04.959 --> 00:36:05.439
 Christ

00:36:05.439 --> 00:36:06.479
 but

00:36:06.479 --> 00:36:06.619
 in

00:36:06.619 --> 00:36:07.059
 reality

00:36:07.059 --> 00:36:07.279
 I

00:36:07.279 --> 00:36:07.459
 know

00:36:07.459 --> 00:36:07.599
 that

00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:07.779
 I'm

00:36:07.779 --> 00:36:08.219
 worthless

00:36:08.219 --> 00:36:09.739
 because

00:36:09.739 --> 00:36:09.899
 I

00:36:09.899 --> 00:36:10.079
 come

00:36:10.319 --> 00:36:10.579
 empty

00:36:10.579 --> 00:36:10.959
 handed

00:36:10.959 --> 00:36:11.199
 with

00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:11.479
 nothing

00:36:11.479 --> 00:36:11.679
 to

00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:12.059
 offer

00:36:12.059 --> 00:36:13.139
 and

00:36:13.139 --> 00:36:13.259
 then

00:36:13.259 --> 00:36:13.419
 it

00:36:13.419 --> 00:36:14.099
 crescendos

00:36:14.099 --> 00:36:14.259
 into

00:36:14.459 --> 00:36:14.759
 praise

00:36:14.759 --> 00:36:14.859
 in

00:36:14.859 --> 00:36:14.979

00:36:14.979 --> 00:36:15.219
 chorus

00:36:15.219 --> 00:36:15.359
 it

00:36:15.359 --> 00:36:15.539
 says

00:36:15.539 --> 00:36:16.119
 I

00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:16.779
 rejoice

00:36:16.779 --> 00:36:17.099

00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:50.600
 then

00:36:50.600 --> 00:36:51.000
 finally

00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:51.200
 as

00:36:51.200 --> 00:36:51.420
 true

00:36:51.420 --> 00:36:51.840
 repentance

00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:52.120
 have

00:36:52.120 --> 00:36:52.280
 no

00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:52.720
 confidence

00:36:52.720 --> 00:36:52.900

 the

00:36:53.019 --> 00:36:53.340
 flesh

00:36:53.340 --> 00:36:53.519
 and

00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:54.260
 certainly

00:36:54.260 --> 00:36:54.480
 is

00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:54.960
 logical

00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:55.560
 we don't

00:36:55.560 --> 00:36:55.760
 have to

00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:55.960
 spend

00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:56.200
 a lot

00:36:56.200 --> 00:36:56.320
 of

00:36:56.320 --> 00:36:56.519
 time

00:36:56.519 --> 00:36:56.780
 here

 to

00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:07.879
 follow

00:37:07.879 --> 00:37:08.219
 him

00:37:08.219 --> 00:37:08.940
 we

00:37:08.940 --> 00:37:09.139
 must

 denial

00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:13.199
 includes

 personal

00:37:14.859 --> 00:37:15.339
 effort

00:37:15.339 --> 00:37:16.399
 in

00:37:16.399 --> 00:37:16.679
 earning

00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:17.299
 salvation

00:37:17.299 --> 00:37:20.199
 this

00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:20.440
 isn't

00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:20.699
