00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.020
 If you would, you know, chapter 12 is going to be the chapter we're going to be in today, but I'm going to start with chapter 1.

00:00:06.020 --> 00:00:08.960
 So, just move your Bibles to Romans 1, please.

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:14.939
 And as we're doing this, let me just say a couple of things here.

00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:17.719
 Let's not forget that Romans is a letter.

00:00:19.260 --> 00:00:23.879
 When it was originally written, it did not have chapters, it didn't have verses, it was just one letter.

00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:26.420
 And it was meant to be read in one sitting.

00:00:26.420 --> 00:00:32.060
 Okay, so we chop it up, we try to unpack the truth of just a few verses at a time,

00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:38.579
 but if we're not careful to kind of revisit what Paul's already been saying for the previous 11 chapters,

00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:42.960
 then the overall sweep and the momentum of the text can be lost.

00:00:44.260 --> 00:00:47.540
 So, think of it like watching five minutes of a movie.

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.439
 You wouldn't really feel the force of the scene if you hadn't watched what led up to that point.

00:00:52.859 --> 00:00:54.219
 And this is kind of the same thing.

00:00:54.219 --> 00:00:58.500
 We have to go back and kind of just give you guys a brief overview of kind of where we've been,

00:00:58.700 --> 00:01:01.359
 so you guys can really feel the weight of the text that we're at today.

00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:06.780
 And this is also why I'm kind of a big advocate of reading a large portion of Scripture at one time.

00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.560
 I think it's good to just kind of get a sense of what the overall sweep of the text is saying.

00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.500
 So, just a footnote.

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:13.500
 Okay.

00:01:17.659 --> 00:01:27.159
 So, prior to chapter 12, verse 2, if you had to pick one verse out of Romans to kind of sum up, I guess, what Paul is writing about,

00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.760
 I think you'd have to select Romans 1, verses 16 and 17.

00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.579
 So, let's read that together and see what he says.

00:01:33.579 --> 00:02:03.039
 And there are four kind of clear things that Paul begins to build on top of that verse through the next chapters leading up to chapter 12.

00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:11.460
 First, through chapters 1 through 3, he details kind of the need of every single man for salvation.

00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:14.920
 Every single person is in need of salvation.

00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:19.580
 Every single person starts off in a sinful state and in need of God's grace.

00:02:20.219 --> 00:02:24.740
 And I get that from chapter 3, verse 10, which is just one of many we could point to,

00:02:24.819 --> 00:02:26.700
 so we'll just keep flipping the pages here.

00:02:26.699 --> 00:02:29.079
 3.10 says this,

00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.459
 There is none righteous, there's not even one.

00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:33.379
 We're not going to go further than that.

00:02:33.459 --> 00:02:34.560
 We're just going to stop at that.

00:02:34.619 --> 00:02:36.199
 There's not one righteous, there's not even one.

00:02:36.259 --> 00:02:41.560
 That is a definitive statement about the fact that everybody is in need of salvation.

00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.979
 The second thing, kind of at the end of chapter 3 and then going into chapter 4 of Romans,

00:02:48.099 --> 00:02:49.620
 explains the way of salvation.

00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:51.019
 How you are saved.

00:02:51.020 --> 00:02:55.040
 And I get this from chapter 3, verses 23 and 24.

00:02:55.140 --> 00:02:55.719
 Let's read that.

00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:57.719
 He says,

00:02:57.820 --> 00:03:01.240
 For all have sinned, everybody sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:02.080
 You haven't attained it.

00:03:02.620 --> 00:03:10.820
 Being justified or declared innocent or made right with God as a gift by God's grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.

00:03:10.819 --> 00:03:13.219
 So that's the way of salvation.

00:03:13.379 --> 00:03:17.180
 It's through Christ, His sacrifice on the cross, His death, burial and resurrection.

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:22.699
 Us believing and embracing and trusting in that for our only hope is the way that you're saved.

00:03:23.859 --> 00:03:25.939
 Okay, so it starts with the need, it goes to the way.

00:03:26.299 --> 00:03:29.459
 And then thirdly, I think it goes from in chapters 5 through 8,

00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.299
 He begins to unpack the hope of our salvation.

00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.560
 Okay, we'll just read one verse.

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.459
 Go to Romans 5, verse 1.

00:03:40.819 --> 00:03:41.699
 He says,

00:03:42.079 --> 00:03:44.659
 Therefore, so in light of the need, in light of the way,

00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:47.639
 Therefore, having been justified by faith,

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.459
 made right with God by faith,

00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:52.539
 we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:03:52.620 --> 00:03:57.060
 And that means a lot of things that He details in the next 3 to 4 chapters.

00:03:58.019 --> 00:03:59.439
 But that's kind of where He's been as well.

00:03:59.799 --> 00:04:01.939
 And then lastly, I think in chapters 9 through 11,

00:04:02.299 --> 00:04:04.120
 He reveals to us, Paul reveals to us,

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.740
 the plan of salvation for all peoples.

00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.259
 All kinds of people, Jews and Gentiles alike.

00:04:10.259 --> 00:04:12.859
 Both the Jews and then all of us who are probably Gentiles.

00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:15.519
 God says, everyone's invited to the party.

00:04:15.859 --> 00:04:17.120
 Everybody gets a free shot.

00:04:19.339 --> 00:04:22.879
 Everyone's included in this plan of salvation.

00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:23.899
 It doesn't mean everybody's saved.

00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:26.620
 It just means everybody is included.

00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:31.199
 And I get this from Romans 10, verses 12 and 13.

00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:34.939
 He says this,

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.259
 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek.

00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.220
 For the same Lord is Lord of all, or everybody,

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.000
 abounding in riches for all who will call upon Him.

00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:50.459
 For whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.

00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:52.280
 Whoever, right?

00:04:52.340 --> 00:04:52.780
 Anybody.

00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:54.300
 Any kind of person.

00:04:54.300 --> 00:04:56.579
 And Paul, at the end of all this doctrine,

00:04:57.579 --> 00:04:59.560
 begins to just shout out and praise.

00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:01.520
 And he does a doxology.

00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:02.400
 It's called a doxology.

00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.639
 And he just begins to praise God at the end of chapter 11.

00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:07.420
 And that brings us kind of into chapter 12,

00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:08.800
 where we start today.

00:05:09.580 --> 00:05:12.740
 And so I'm just going to kind of briefly revisit for you guys verse 1.

00:05:13.100 --> 00:05:14.519
 And just talk about what that kind of meant.

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.100
 And then we'll actually begin exploring verse 2 today.

00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.019
 And hopefully it'll be a nice segue for whoever's teaching next

00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:21.979
 into the rest of the chapter as well.

00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.779
 So let's just read verses 1 and 2 of chapter 12.

00:05:25.779 --> 00:05:29.619
 I urge you, therefore, brethren,

00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.000
 by the mercies of God,

00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:33.799
 to present your bodies

00:05:33.799 --> 00:05:36.659
 a living and holy sacrifice

00:05:36.659 --> 00:05:40.139
 acceptable to God,

00:05:40.259 --> 00:05:42.759
 which is your spiritual service of worship,

00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.899
 or your reasonable service of worship.

00:05:45.979 --> 00:05:47.299
 And do not be conformed to this world,

00:05:47.339 --> 00:05:50.239
 but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,

00:05:50.619 --> 00:05:53.339
 that you may prove or discern

00:05:53.339 --> 00:05:54.539
 what the will of God is,

00:05:54.599 --> 00:05:55.379
 that which is good,

00:05:55.739 --> 00:05:56.779
 that which is well-pleasing,

00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:57.699
 that which is perfect.

00:06:00.459 --> 00:06:01.899
 So early on in Jesus' ministry,

00:06:01.979 --> 00:06:04.139
 he was actually asked by a Pharisee named Simon

00:06:04.139 --> 00:06:06.620
 to come over and to have dinner with him.

00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:08.039
 And he did.

00:06:08.599 --> 00:06:09.259
 And while he was there,

00:06:09.299 --> 00:06:11.179
 a woman approached Jesus at the dinner table,

00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:13.519
 and she was a very immoral woman.

00:06:14.539 --> 00:06:15.939
 Some scholars think this was Mary,

00:06:16.179 --> 00:06:18.779
 if you know your biblical characters.

00:06:19.659 --> 00:06:21.759
 She was known by all in the community to be so.

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:22.419
 She was immoral.

00:06:22.420 --> 00:06:23.140
 Everyone knew it.

00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:25.580
 But when she learned that Jesus was eating

00:06:25.580 --> 00:06:27.259
 at the Pharisee's house,

00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:28.080
 she came to him,

00:06:28.340 --> 00:06:30.819
 and she brought this alabaster vial of perfume.

00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:31.680
 Really expensive.

00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:32.400
 Really costly.

00:06:34.379 --> 00:06:36.300
 And standing behind Jesus with the vial in hand,

00:06:36.379 --> 00:06:38.140
 she was weeping tears of sorrow,

00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.180
 and began to wet Jesus' feet with their tears,

00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.220
 and then wipe the tears off with their hair.

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:46.720
 She kept wiping,

00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:47.680
 and she kept crying,

00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:48.480
 and she kept wiping.

00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.620
 And she would kiss his feet from time to time.

00:06:50.620 --> 00:06:52.579
 And then she would even anoint his feet

00:06:52.579 --> 00:06:54.860
 with this costly perfume.

00:06:57.280 --> 00:06:58.959
 Now the Pharisee saw this,

00:06:59.019 --> 00:06:59.939
 and he said to himself,

00:07:00.340 --> 00:07:03.560
 if this man were the prophet that everybody thinks that he is,

00:07:03.740 --> 00:07:07.240
 if he were really the prophet everyone thinks that Jesus actually is,

00:07:07.780 --> 00:07:10.280
 he would know what sort of person this is,

00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:13.019
 that this woman who was touching him

00:07:13.019 --> 00:07:13.620
 is an adulteress,

00:07:14.579 --> 00:07:15.480
 an immoral person,

00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:16.759
 is unclean,

00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.300
 is not worthy of his time.

00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.339
 But Jesus knew the scorn that was in Simon's heart,

00:07:23.420 --> 00:07:24.240
 and so he says to him,

00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:25.860
 I have something to say to you, Simon.

00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:27.560
 And he replied,

00:07:27.699 --> 00:07:28.180
 say it, teacher,

00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:29.060
 and I'm sure he kind of said it like,

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:30.459
 say it, you know, teacher, prophet,

00:07:30.719 --> 00:07:31.800
 call yourself that.

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:33.079
 Jesus spoke back,

00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:34.920
 a certain moneylender had two debtors.

00:07:35.060 --> 00:07:35.740
 He tells this story.

00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:37.939
 A certain moneylender had two debtors,

00:07:37.980 --> 00:07:38.839
 people indebted to him.

00:07:38.899 --> 00:07:40.539
 One owed him 500 denarii.

00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:42.980
 One denarii was equal to about one day's wage.

00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.020
 So, over a year's worth of salary, right?

00:07:46.700 --> 00:07:47.160
 Owed him that.

00:07:47.200 --> 00:07:48.879
 The other debtor owed him 50 denarii.

00:07:49.460 --> 00:07:50.600
 When they were unable to repay,

00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:51.439
 Jesus says,

00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:53.220
 he graciously forgave them both.

00:07:55.460 --> 00:07:56.879
 Which of them, therefore,

00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:58.680
 do you think will love him more?

00:08:01.020 --> 00:08:01.939
 Simon answered and said,

00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:03.660
 I suppose the one whom he forgave more.

00:08:04.620 --> 00:08:05.240
 And Jesus said,

00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:06.120
 you've answered correctly.

00:08:06.340 --> 00:08:06.759
 That's right.

00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:08.860
 The person that you forgave more

00:08:08.860 --> 00:08:10.520
 is the person that's going to love you more.

00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.099
 Jesus then turned towards the woman

00:08:13.099 --> 00:08:13.799
 and looking at her,

00:08:14.539 --> 00:08:15.779
 he was speaking to Simon still

00:08:15.779 --> 00:08:16.500
 and he says this,

00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:17.680
 do you see this woman?

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.639
 I entered your house a while ago,

00:08:20.719 --> 00:08:22.459
 yet you gave me no water for my feet,

00:08:22.979 --> 00:08:25.560
 but she has wet my feet with her tears

00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.680
 and wiped them with her hair.

00:08:28.299 --> 00:08:29.379
 You gave me no kiss,

00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:31.579
 but she, since the time that I came in,

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.759
 has not stopped kissing my feet.

00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:36.340
 You did not anoint my head with oil,

00:08:36.340 --> 00:08:39.000
 but she anointed my feet with perfume.

00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.960
 For this reason I tell you, Simon,

00:08:43.059 --> 00:08:44.299
 her sins, which are many,

00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:47.159
 have been forgiven.

00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:49.340
 For she has loved much,

00:08:49.379 --> 00:08:50.399
 but he who is forgiven little,

00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:51.419
 loves little.

00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:53.000
 And he said to her,

00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:54.000
 your sins have been forgiven.

00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:56.299
 And that's the end of the story.

00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:57.379
 It's in Luke 7.

00:08:58.259 --> 00:08:59.179
 It's a true story.

00:08:59.220 --> 00:08:59.720
 It really happened.

00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:02.740
 And I think this story really embodies

00:09:02.740 --> 00:09:04.860
 the truth of Romans 12.1.

00:09:06.980 --> 00:09:07.340
 Okay?

00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.600
 Who do you think we are in the story?

00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.039
 Which character do you think represents us?

00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:15.679
 You're the prostitute.

00:09:17.220 --> 00:09:18.819
 You're Mary, if that's Mary.

00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:20.939
 You're the sinner.

00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:22.159
 You're the fornicator.

00:09:22.259 --> 00:09:22.879
 You're the defiler.

00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:24.100
 You're the rebellious person.

00:09:27.139 --> 00:09:29.240
 The rebellious and disobedient fornicator,

00:09:29.319 --> 00:09:33.279
 who upon feeling deep conviction over her sin,

00:09:33.379 --> 00:09:35.019
 and the desperate need for forgiveness,

00:09:35.019 --> 00:09:37.220
 pursues Christ,

00:09:37.539 --> 00:09:39.159
 and offers Him her broken heart.

00:09:39.220 --> 00:09:40.600
 She doesn't cry in the corner.

00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:41.879
 Okay?

00:09:42.019 --> 00:09:44.360
 She doesn't wait until there's an opportune time

00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:45.039
 to go talk to Jesus.

00:09:45.139 --> 00:09:46.460
 She bursts onto the scene

00:09:46.460 --> 00:09:49.220
 with the same boldness

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:51.279
 in her confession

00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:53.279
 that she typically had in her rebellion.

00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.799
 And she begins to

00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:58.179
 even offer Him

00:09:58.179 --> 00:09:59.600
 this costly perfume,

00:09:59.740 --> 00:10:00.839
 anointing His feet with it

00:10:00.839 --> 00:10:02.360
 as a sign of her sincerity.

00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:04.059
 There was nothing that this woman

00:10:04.059 --> 00:10:05.100
 would not do

00:10:05.100 --> 00:10:05.899
 to have the Savior.

00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:09.299
 Nothing she wouldn't give the Savior.

00:10:10.500 --> 00:10:10.740
 Right?

00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:12.419
 Nothing she would keep for herself.

00:10:12.819 --> 00:10:13.659
 No public humiliation

00:10:13.659 --> 00:10:14.699
 was going to keep her from Him.

00:10:14.899 --> 00:10:16.259
 No fear of others' disapproval

00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:17.799
 was going to keep her from Him.

00:10:18.019 --> 00:10:18.759
 No embarrassment,

00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:20.059
 no earthly possessions.

00:10:21.100 --> 00:10:21.860
 Would stand in the way,

00:10:21.860 --> 00:10:23.300
 no crowd of eager onlookers

00:10:23.300 --> 00:10:25.019
 that were boxing her out

00:10:25.019 --> 00:10:25.759
 would keep her from Him.

00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:29.440
 No love of her sin

00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:30.220
 would keep her from Him.

00:10:30.580 --> 00:10:31.560
 Nothing would keep her from Him.

00:10:31.659 --> 00:10:33.259
 Because she was committed

00:10:33.259 --> 00:10:34.919
 to this idea

00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.399
 that if Jesus was the Savior,

00:10:37.560 --> 00:10:38.279
 if He was the one

00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:39.519
 that could truly forgive sin

00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:40.960
 and make her right with God

00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.759
 and cleanse her of all this filth

00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:43.779
 that she had upon herself,

00:10:44.019 --> 00:10:45.440
 she was committed to that idea

00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:46.000
 and she knew,

00:10:46.460 --> 00:10:47.360
 if this is the one

00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.580
 that I'm supposed to communicate with,

00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:49.920
 then no.

00:10:51.860 --> 00:10:52.860
 Then I'll do anything.

00:10:52.940 --> 00:10:53.899
 I'll die to anything

00:10:53.899 --> 00:10:56.519
 if it meant forgiveness of my sin.

00:10:57.659 --> 00:10:58.600
 And I think that's true

00:10:58.600 --> 00:10:59.200
 of a lot of you.

00:10:59.399 --> 00:10:59.860
 Some of you.

00:11:00.800 --> 00:11:01.019
 Right?

00:11:01.060 --> 00:11:01.580
 You can relate.

00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:02.639
 Those of you who are similarly

00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.000
 in a state of rebellion,

00:11:05.139 --> 00:11:05.940
 in a state of sinfulness,

00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:06.840
 in a state of rejection,

00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:08.300
 in a state of hate towards God,

00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:10.120
 in a state of selfish ambition,

00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:12.960
 but you heard Christ say

00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:13.680
 your sins are forgiven.

00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:15.720
 You were so moved by that.

00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.620
 That idea

00:11:18.620 --> 00:11:20.100
 that you could be forgiven

00:11:20.100 --> 00:11:20.580
 for the sin

00:11:20.580 --> 00:11:21.879
 that you know you were guilty of,

00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:23.220
 that you would do anything

00:11:23.220 --> 00:11:23.940
 to have Christ,

00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.040
 you would suffer anything

00:11:26.040 --> 00:11:26.800
 to have Christ,

00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:28.879
 you would confess it all

00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:29.320
 to have Christ,

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:29.620
 you would,

00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:30.680
 it didn't matter.

00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:33.720
 And what other reaction

00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.160
 is there for a soul

00:11:35.160 --> 00:11:36.879
 who feels the weight

00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.460
 of judgment upon them?

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:39.340
 Right?

00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:42.580
 But to forsake everything,

00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:43.300
 go to the Savior,

00:11:43.940 --> 00:11:44.940
 and do whatever must be done

00:11:44.940 --> 00:11:45.580
 in order to have Him.

00:11:47.180 --> 00:11:47.920
 And once you have Him,

00:11:48.280 --> 00:11:50.160
 is there any other reaction

00:11:50.160 --> 00:11:51.940
 but to worship Him

00:11:51.940 --> 00:11:52.440
 with your life,

00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:53.700
 to live in submission to Jesus

00:11:53.700 --> 00:11:54.620
 with all of your heart,

00:11:54.900 --> 00:11:55.740
 and all of your soul,

00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:56.800
 and all of your mind,

00:11:56.980 --> 00:11:57.980
 and all of your strength,

00:11:58.260 --> 00:11:59.300
 because He died for you.

00:12:00.100 --> 00:12:01.160
 And when you think of these things,

00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:02.120
 aren't you compelled

00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:04.340
 by love and by gratitude

00:12:04.340 --> 00:12:05.120
 for Christ

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.100
 to serve Jesus, right?

00:12:08.660 --> 00:12:10.120
 Because of His merciful sacrifice.

00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:13.240
 I think that's exactly

00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:14.540
 what Romans 12, 1 says.

00:12:15.540 --> 00:12:16.360
 Listen to it.

00:12:17.260 --> 00:12:18.500
 I urge you, therefore, brethren,

00:12:18.640 --> 00:12:20.100
 by the mercies of God,

00:12:20.520 --> 00:12:23.280
 by that reality of Christ,

00:12:23.820 --> 00:12:24.460
 I urge you,

00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:25.500
 because you've been forgiven

00:12:25.500 --> 00:12:26.380
 of this great

00:12:26.380 --> 00:12:29.000
 infinite debt,

00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:30.520
 I urge you,

00:12:30.640 --> 00:12:31.260
 by that mercy,

00:12:31.380 --> 00:12:32.340
 to present your body

00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:34.280
 as a living and a holy sacrifice,

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:35.680
 acceptable to God,

00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:37.380
 which is your reasonable service

00:12:37.380 --> 00:12:37.780
 and worship.

00:12:37.940 --> 00:12:39.440
 It's the reasonable conclusion of that.

00:12:39.660 --> 00:12:40.220
 What other reaction

00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:41.300
 can you possibly have

00:12:41.300 --> 00:12:42.180
 when you've been forgiven

00:12:42.180 --> 00:12:42.880
 like you've been forgiven?

00:12:43.700 --> 00:12:44.899
 There is no other action

00:12:44.899 --> 00:12:46.799
 or reaction.

00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:50.840
 So that's where Paul's been so far,

00:12:50.939 --> 00:12:51.100
 okay?

00:12:51.139 --> 00:12:51.899
 He's been kind of building

00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:53.120
 this case up against mankind

00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:54.539
 for many, many chapters

00:12:54.539 --> 00:12:55.240
 and then talking about,

00:12:55.340 --> 00:12:55.419
 hey,

00:12:55.740 --> 00:12:56.779
 now here's the answer

00:12:56.779 --> 00:12:57.480
 to your problem.

00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.379
 And now here's kind of

00:12:59.379 --> 00:13:00.439
 what happens to you

00:13:00.439 --> 00:13:01.139
 in light of that.

00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:02.320
 Here's your hope in God

00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.659
 in light of these truths,

00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:05.919
 in light of this way of salvation,

00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:07.120
 this acceptance in Christ

00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:07.879
 or through Christ

00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.019
 before God.

00:13:11.220 --> 00:13:11.620
 Okay?

00:13:11.779 --> 00:13:12.059
 So then,

00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:13.419
 now we come to verse 2.

00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:15.919
 With those truths in mind,

00:13:15.980 --> 00:13:16.879
 let's kind of explore this.

00:13:16.980 --> 00:13:17.139
 And just,

00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.439
 if verse 1 is kind of

00:13:19.439 --> 00:13:20.360
 the what,

00:13:20.539 --> 00:13:20.700
 you know,

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:22.220
 how we're supposed to respond,

00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:23.679
 then verse 2 kind of tells us

00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:24.820
 actually how that happens.

00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:26.360
 How we actually do that.

00:13:26.779 --> 00:13:27.620
 How we respond

00:13:27.620 --> 00:13:30.179
 by actually offering a body to God

00:13:30.179 --> 00:13:31.039
 that's living and holy

00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.240
 and pleasing to Him.

00:13:34.220 --> 00:13:34.539
 Okay?

00:13:34.539 --> 00:13:37.779
 Let's just read 12-2 once more.

00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:38.339
 So it says,

00:13:38.459 --> 00:13:39.279
 And do not be conformed

00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:39.779
 to this world,

00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:41.699
 but be transformed

00:13:41.699 --> 00:13:43.039
 by the renewing of your mind

00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:44.879
 that you may prove

00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:46.039
 what the will of God is,

00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:47.459
 that which is good

00:13:47.459 --> 00:13:48.419
 and acceptable

00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:49.980
 and perfect.

00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:53.139
 If we can successfully answer,

00:13:53.219 --> 00:13:53.459
 I think,

00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:54.099
 three questions,

00:13:54.179 --> 00:13:55.120
 I think we'll have this passage.

00:13:56.659 --> 00:13:57.839
 The first question is,

00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:58.579
 what does it mean

00:13:58.579 --> 00:13:59.860
 to be conformed to this world?

00:14:02.719 --> 00:14:03.860
 The second question is,

00:14:03.860 --> 00:14:04.399
 what does it mean

00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:05.300
 to be transformed

00:14:05.300 --> 00:14:06.980
 by the renewing of your mind?

00:14:08.740 --> 00:14:10.019
 And then the third question is,

00:14:10.060 --> 00:14:10.500
 what does it mean

00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:11.539
 to prove the will of God?

00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:14.080
 Okay?

00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:14.600
 So we just take them

00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:15.060
 one at a time.

00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:15.980
 The first way

00:14:15.980 --> 00:14:17.399
 in which we offer our bodies

00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:17.860
 to God

00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:19.300
 in a well-pleasing way

00:14:19.300 --> 00:14:21.919
 is by not being conformed

00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:22.480
 to the world.

00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:25.419
 That's what the Scripture says.

00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:27.759
 So what's considered the world?

00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:29.600
 That's kind of the first question,

00:14:29.659 --> 00:14:29.879
 I think,

00:14:29.940 --> 00:14:31.320
 to ask underneath that.

00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:33.280
 A better rendering,

00:14:33.379 --> 00:14:33.560
 actually,

00:14:33.640 --> 00:14:34.540
 of that word,

00:14:34.660 --> 00:14:34.940
 world,

00:14:35.040 --> 00:14:36.260
 would actually be age.

00:14:36.800 --> 00:14:37.060
 Okay?

00:14:37.180 --> 00:14:37.900
 The age.

00:14:38.379 --> 00:14:39.580
 The Greek word here is

00:14:39.580 --> 00:14:40.440
 aeon,

00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:42.000
 and it literally means

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:43.160
 this period of time.

00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:44.700
 Okay?

00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:45.980
 And I think that's a great rendering

00:14:45.980 --> 00:14:47.500
 because it doesn't limit the text

00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:49.240
 to a certain kind of world.

00:14:50.040 --> 00:14:51.560
 It refers to any world

00:14:51.560 --> 00:14:52.460
 in which any person

00:14:52.460 --> 00:14:52.900
 is living

00:14:52.900 --> 00:14:53.940
 at any time.

00:14:53.940 --> 00:14:56.860
 the spirit of whatever

00:14:56.860 --> 00:14:58.160
 that age is.

00:14:59.260 --> 00:14:59.960
 Whatever time

00:14:59.960 --> 00:15:00.760
 that you live in,

00:15:01.620 --> 00:15:02.660
 don't be conformed

00:15:02.660 --> 00:15:04.400
 to the generic age

00:15:04.400 --> 00:15:05.320
 or world

00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:06.200
 or world pattern.

00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:09.220
 The world,

00:15:09.340 --> 00:15:10.360
 ever since the fall of Adam,

00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:11.860
 has always been corrupt,

00:15:12.100 --> 00:15:12.860
 and the age

00:15:12.860 --> 00:15:14.340
 has always been evil.

00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:16.340
 Okay?

00:15:16.380 --> 00:15:17.300
 There has never been a time

00:15:17.300 --> 00:15:17.640
 in the world

00:15:17.640 --> 00:15:18.920
 that tended toward righteousness.

00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:19.800
 Ever.

00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:22.240
 It's always been a world

00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:23.339
 filled with selfishness

00:15:23.339 --> 00:15:23.979
 and greed

00:15:23.979 --> 00:15:24.799
 and pride

00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:25.319
 and lust

00:15:25.319 --> 00:15:26.039
 and idolatry

00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:26.859
 and a lot of other things

00:15:26.859 --> 00:15:28.319
 that were driving it on.

00:15:30.459 --> 00:15:31.399
 That's at the core

00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:32.059
 of our world,

00:15:32.179 --> 00:15:33.159
 the core of our age.

00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:34.199
 Those kinds of things.

00:15:34.659 --> 00:15:35.199
 That pride

00:15:35.199 --> 00:15:36.139
 and that selfish ambition

00:15:36.139 --> 00:15:37.039
 and that lust

00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:37.519
 that you feel,

00:15:37.579 --> 00:15:38.379
 those things at the core

00:15:38.379 --> 00:15:39.059
 of you even

00:15:39.059 --> 00:15:42.279
 define our age.

00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:44.379
 This idea

00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:47.500
 is that we are not

00:15:47.500 --> 00:15:48.500
 to become like the world

00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:49.659
 in which we presently live.

00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:50.539
 So think of the world

00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:51.179
 like a stream

00:15:51.179 --> 00:15:52.319
 that naturally flows

00:15:52.319 --> 00:15:53.379
 downhill, right?

00:15:53.659 --> 00:15:54.559
 We are in it

00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:56.259
 and for a long time

00:15:56.259 --> 00:15:57.479
 we ran with it

00:15:57.479 --> 00:15:59.139
 but God through Christ

00:15:59.139 --> 00:15:59.879
 has now saved us

00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:00.299
 and called us

00:16:00.299 --> 00:16:00.859
 to swim upstream.

00:16:01.959 --> 00:16:02.500
 That's essentially

00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:02.939
 what it is.

00:16:02.959 --> 00:16:03.519
 It's just a simple

00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:03.939
 illustration

00:16:03.939 --> 00:16:05.139
 to kind of depict that.

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:07.359
 The best cross reference

00:16:07.359 --> 00:16:07.919
 I think in the scripture

00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:09.000
 is actually from Galatians.

00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:09.899
 So turn there real quick.

00:16:10.659 --> 00:16:11.500
 I just want to show you this.

00:16:12.179 --> 00:16:14.079
 It's the exact same word

00:16:14.079 --> 00:16:15.779
 but it kind of

00:16:15.779 --> 00:16:17.859
 just more clearly states

00:16:17.859 --> 00:16:18.639
 what exactly God

00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:19.659
 is asking of us

00:16:19.659 --> 00:16:24.439
 Galatians 1 verses 3 and 4 here.

00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:29.259
 Galatians 1, 3 and 4.

00:16:29.339 --> 00:16:29.719
 So here we go.

00:16:29.779 --> 00:16:30.000
 It says,

00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:30.620
 Grace to you

00:16:30.620 --> 00:16:32.059
 and peace from God our Father

00:16:32.059 --> 00:16:33.539
 and the Lord Jesus Christ

00:16:33.539 --> 00:16:35.579
 who gave himself

00:16:35.579 --> 00:16:36.679
 for our sins

00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:38.719
 that he might deliver us

00:16:38.719 --> 00:16:39.759
 out of this present

00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:40.959
 evil age

00:16:40.959 --> 00:16:42.740
 according to the will

00:16:42.740 --> 00:16:43.480
 of our God

00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:44.379
 and our Father.

00:16:44.379 --> 00:16:45.059
 God has saved us.

00:16:45.059 --> 00:16:45.379
 God has saved us.

00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:46.379
 God has saved us.

00:16:46.379 --> 00:16:47.039
 God has saved us.

00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:47.559
 God has called us

00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:48.279
 out of this world.

00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:49.439
 God has called us

00:16:49.439 --> 00:16:50.840
 out of this present evil age

00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:51.620
 or at least living

00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:53.360
 in light of this present evil age

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:57.059
 into some kind of new status

00:16:57.059 --> 00:17:02.960
 or some kind of new way of living.

00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:03.960
 God has saved us

00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:05.460
 and the last thing

00:17:05.460 --> 00:17:05.900
 I'll kind of say

00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:07.420
 about what the term world

00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:07.920
 really means

00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.579
 if you want to define it

00:17:11.579 --> 00:17:12.660
 it's very easily definable

00:17:12.660 --> 00:17:13.380
 by its goals.

00:17:14.460 --> 00:17:15.059
 The world is.

00:17:16.100 --> 00:17:17.000
 If you consider

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:17.539
 what men and women

00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:18.559
 are actually living for

00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:19.059
 in this world

00:17:19.059 --> 00:17:21.000
 I think you'll clearly see

00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.700
 what God means

00:17:22.700 --> 00:17:23.980
 by the term world

00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:24.759
 in this passage.

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:25.400
 For instance,

00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:26.920
 four obvious goals

00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:27.780
 of our world.

00:17:28.660 --> 00:17:29.140
 Fortune,

00:17:30.140 --> 00:17:30.540
 fame,

00:17:31.420 --> 00:17:31.740
 power,

00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:32.580
 and pleasure.

00:17:34.040 --> 00:17:35.040
 Just to name a few.

00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:36.040
 Fortune, fame,

00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:36.720
 power, and pleasure.

00:17:36.780 --> 00:17:38.019
 That's four obvious goals

00:17:38.019 --> 00:17:38.960
 of our world

00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:40.180
 and what they're striving after.

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:41.259
 And these

00:17:41.259 --> 00:17:42.320
 fortune, fame,

00:17:42.600 --> 00:17:43.220
 power, and pleasure

00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:44.240
 are not in and of themselves

00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:44.880
 evil.

00:17:45.860 --> 00:17:46.820
 They're not wicked

00:17:46.820 --> 00:17:48.120
 by themselves

00:17:48.120 --> 00:17:48.440
 but

00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:51.120
 when a person without Christ

00:17:51.120 --> 00:17:52.300
 seeks these things

00:17:52.300 --> 00:17:52.920
 for themselves

00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:53.759
 and makes them

00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:55.220
 the primary objects

00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:55.940
 of their life

00:17:55.940 --> 00:17:58.140
 or their primary goals

00:17:58.140 --> 00:17:58.640
 in life

00:17:58.640 --> 00:17:59.920
 to obtain these things

00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:04.039
 instead of the byproducts

00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:05.100
 of living a life for God

00:18:05.100 --> 00:18:07.519
 then as one author put it

00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:08.120
 he actually says

00:18:08.120 --> 00:18:09.319
 life becomes warped

00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:10.620
 because mind and heart

00:18:10.620 --> 00:18:11.339
 and life

00:18:11.339 --> 00:18:12.220
 are turned

00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:13.180
 to the pursuit

00:18:13.180 --> 00:18:13.660
 of that

00:18:13.660 --> 00:18:15.940
 which can never glorify God

00:18:15.940 --> 00:18:17.319
 nor truly satisfy

00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:18.000
 the human heart.

00:18:20.740 --> 00:18:21.799
 When you turn

00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:22.920
 your mind towards that

00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:23.920
 and you actually focus

00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:24.559
 all of your efforts

00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.000
 and energies

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.539
 on obtaining fortune

00:18:27.539 --> 00:18:28.200
 or fame

00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:28.819
 or power

00:18:28.819 --> 00:18:29.740
 or pleasure

00:18:29.740 --> 00:18:32.279
 it can be good

00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:32.720
 I mean

00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:33.920
 you can make a good thing

00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:34.420
 an ultimate thing

00:18:34.420 --> 00:18:34.579
 right?

00:18:34.660 --> 00:18:35.539
 That's a common phrase

00:18:35.539 --> 00:18:35.980
 you can make

00:18:35.980 --> 00:18:36.900
 even family

00:18:36.900 --> 00:18:37.519
 or girlfriend

00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:38.039
 or boyfriend

00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:39.059
 or school

00:18:39.059 --> 00:18:40.359
 an ultimate thing

00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:40.779
 and you can

00:18:40.779 --> 00:18:42.119
 so crave it

00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:42.839
 and so desire it

00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:43.559
 and so seek it

00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:44.259
 that it becomes

00:18:44.259 --> 00:18:45.799
 God to you

00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:47.859
 and when that happens

00:18:47.859 --> 00:18:48.960
 you warp yourself

00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:49.940
 it naturally

00:18:49.940 --> 00:18:50.579
 just warps

00:18:50.579 --> 00:18:51.019
 and kind of

00:18:51.019 --> 00:18:51.559
 it almost

00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:52.940
 internally combust

00:18:52.940 --> 00:18:54.000
 your own heart

00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:54.399
 and it just

00:18:54.399 --> 00:18:55.299
 inverts you

00:18:55.299 --> 00:18:56.779
 it turns you away

00:18:56.779 --> 00:18:57.440
 from the path

00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:58.220
 that you were meant

00:18:58.220 --> 00:18:58.619
 to go

00:18:58.619 --> 00:18:59.919
 it's a cool illustration

00:18:59.919 --> 00:19:00.899
 that C.S. Lewis

00:19:00.899 --> 00:19:02.639
 once actually coined

00:19:02.639 --> 00:19:03.359
 was

00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:05.440
 that the human machine

00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:06.019
 think of your body

00:19:06.019 --> 00:19:06.480
 as a machine

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:07.200
 the human machine

00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:08.200
 was meant

00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:09.700
 to run on God

00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:12.399
 he created it that way

00:19:12.399 --> 00:19:14.619
 so when you don't do that

00:19:14.619 --> 00:19:16.299
 you'll find it's not

00:19:16.299 --> 00:19:17.299
 working very well

00:19:17.299 --> 00:19:18.799
 right?

00:19:18.879 --> 00:19:19.680
 So there's all kind of

00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:19.980
 I mean

00:19:19.980 --> 00:19:21.359
 you've heard another phrase

00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:22.220
 that's popular

00:19:22.220 --> 00:19:22.460
 the

00:19:22.460 --> 00:19:23.319
 you know

00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:24.859
 power corrupts

00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:25.519
 and

00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:28.059
 absolute

00:19:28.059 --> 00:19:28.899
 power corrupts

00:19:28.899 --> 00:19:29.319
 absolutely

00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:29.819
 right?

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:31.720
 I mean

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:32.579
 it's not necessarily

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:33.559
 a one to one correlation

00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:34.299
 but I think that

00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:34.720
 you know

00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:35.419
 there is a sense

00:19:35.419 --> 00:19:35.720
 in which

00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:36.720
 we begin to pursue

00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:37.619
 these things as God

00:19:37.619 --> 00:19:38.599
 they begin to corrupt us

00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:40.299
 they begin to undo us

00:19:40.299 --> 00:19:41.440
 because we weren't created

00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:42.159
 to live like that

00:19:42.159 --> 00:19:42.579
 we weren't created

00:19:42.579 --> 00:19:43.680
 to operate like that

00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:48.060
 Paul says it this way

00:19:48.060 --> 00:19:48.860
 in Romans 1

00:19:48.860 --> 00:19:49.460
 in fact

00:19:49.460 --> 00:19:51.259
 professing to be wise

00:19:51.259 --> 00:19:54.080
 they became fools

00:19:54.080 --> 00:19:56.259
 and they exchanged

00:19:56.259 --> 00:19:56.820
 the glory

00:19:56.820 --> 00:19:58.080
 of the incorruptible God

00:19:58.080 --> 00:19:59.799
 for an image

00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:00.680
 in the form of

00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:01.440
 corruptible man

00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:03.360
 they begin to idolize

00:20:03.360 --> 00:20:04.039
 things of man

00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:04.259
 right?

00:20:04.380 --> 00:20:05.060
 this world

00:20:05.060 --> 00:20:05.700
 things in the world

00:20:05.700 --> 00:20:06.720
 they begin to idolize that

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:07.460
 then he says

00:20:07.460 --> 00:20:08.279
 they exchanged

00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:09.120
 the truth of God

00:20:09.120 --> 00:20:09.960
 for a lie

00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:11.920
 and they worshipped

00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:12.440
 and served

00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:13.180
 the creature

00:20:13.180 --> 00:20:14.460
 rather than the creator

00:20:14.460 --> 00:20:17.120
 that's what happened

00:20:17.120 --> 00:20:17.600
 to you

00:20:17.600 --> 00:20:18.420
 that's what happened

00:20:18.420 --> 00:20:18.700
 to the world

00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:20.080
 in Romans 1

00:20:20.080 --> 00:20:20.400
 in fact

00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:21.560
 Paul is describing

00:20:21.560 --> 00:20:22.000
 for us

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:22.740
 what exactly

00:20:22.740 --> 00:20:23.420
 has gone wrong

00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:23.980
 with the world

00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:25.840
 and what the wrath

00:20:25.840 --> 00:20:26.100
 of God

00:20:26.100 --> 00:20:26.500
 is going to be

00:20:26.500 --> 00:20:27.519
 coming down upon

00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:28.299
 what for?

00:20:29.380 --> 00:20:30.299
 because everybody

00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:31.700
 in creation

00:20:31.700 --> 00:20:32.460
 has been corrupted

00:20:32.460 --> 00:20:33.539
 by this one

00:20:33.539 --> 00:20:34.240
 central theme

00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:35.299
 they took God

00:20:35.299 --> 00:20:36.799
 and they displaced him

00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:38.220
 and they put themselves

00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:38.860
 on his throne

00:20:38.860 --> 00:20:39.360
 and they said

00:20:39.360 --> 00:20:39.740
 you know what

00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:40.640
 I'm going to follow me

00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:42.019
 I'm going to do my thing

00:20:42.019 --> 00:20:44.779
 and they stopped

00:20:44.779 --> 00:20:45.579
 listening to God

00:20:45.579 --> 00:20:46.859
 and everything

00:20:46.859 --> 00:20:48.079
 has been crumbling

00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:48.639
 ever since

00:20:48.639 --> 00:20:50.519
 so we should not

00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:51.400
 and we shall not

00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:52.220
 be conformed

00:20:52.220 --> 00:20:53.299
 to these things

00:20:53.299 --> 00:20:54.160
 these ways

00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:54.500
 right?

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.519
 we should pursue

00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:57.099
 Christ

00:20:57.099 --> 00:20:59.119
 secondly

00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:00.700
 that's what I think

00:21:00.700 --> 00:21:01.160
 it kind of means

00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:01.740
 to be conformed

00:21:01.740 --> 00:21:02.000
 to the world

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:02.700
 that idea

00:21:02.700 --> 00:21:03.319
 I mean if you really

00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:04.279
 get the idea of world

00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:04.779
 and you get the

00:21:04.779 --> 00:21:05.779
 definition down

00:21:05.779 --> 00:21:06.900
 I think it makes it

00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:07.779
 very clear what it says

00:21:07.779 --> 00:21:08.819
 to not be conformed to

00:21:08.819 --> 00:21:09.559
 don't pursue these

00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:10.200
 things as ultimate

00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:11.559
 pursue Christ

00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:12.019
 as ultimate

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:14.119
 let him be what

00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:15.159
 you are living for

00:21:15.159 --> 00:21:15.879
 now if he blesses

00:21:15.879 --> 00:21:16.460
 you with fame

00:21:16.460 --> 00:21:17.200
 blesses you with

00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:17.579
 fortune

00:21:17.579 --> 00:21:18.319
 blesses you with

00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:18.700
 pleasure

00:21:18.700 --> 00:21:19.519
 blesses you with

00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:19.919
 power

00:21:19.919 --> 00:21:20.639
 those things are

00:21:20.639 --> 00:21:21.500
 not inherently evil

00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:21.960
 I'm not saying

00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:23.319
 that millionaires

00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:24.480
 cannot be Christians

00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:25.339
 okay

00:21:25.339 --> 00:21:26.559
 I'm just saying

00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:27.480
 that those kinds

00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:28.000
 of things

00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:28.779
 when pursued

00:21:28.779 --> 00:21:30.639
 ultimately

00:21:30.639 --> 00:21:32.960
 result in corruption

00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:33.579
 and destruction

00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:34.079
 and evil

00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:34.559
 and all kinds

00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:35.099
 of other things

00:21:35.099 --> 00:21:36.299
 second way

00:21:36.299 --> 00:21:37.819
 by which we offer

00:21:37.819 --> 00:21:38.839
 our bodies to God

00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:39.899
 in a well pleasing

00:21:39.899 --> 00:21:40.259
 way

00:21:40.259 --> 00:21:41.639
 is by being

00:21:41.639 --> 00:21:42.259
 transformed

00:21:42.259 --> 00:21:43.539
 by the renewing

00:21:43.539 --> 00:21:44.099
 of your mind

00:21:44.099 --> 00:21:45.500
 okay

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:46.259
 the second way

00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:47.399
 in which we offer

00:21:47.399 --> 00:21:48.359
 our bodies to God

00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:48.960
 in an acceptable

00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:49.579
 or well pleasing

00:21:49.579 --> 00:21:49.899
 way

00:21:49.899 --> 00:21:50.740
 is by being

00:21:50.740 --> 00:21:51.460
 transformed

00:21:51.460 --> 00:21:52.419
 by the renewing

00:21:52.419 --> 00:21:52.879
 of your mind

00:21:52.879 --> 00:21:53.440
 I think two

00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:54.039
 questions

00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:55.200
 underneath that

00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:55.759
 main heading

00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:56.039
 there

00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:57.180
 will help us

00:21:57.180 --> 00:21:57.700
 really see the

00:21:57.700 --> 00:21:58.259
 truth of this

00:21:58.259 --> 00:21:58.839
 portion of our

00:21:58.839 --> 00:21:59.119
 verse

00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:01.960
 the first one

00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:02.419
 is what are we

00:22:02.419 --> 00:22:03.079
 being transformed

00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:03.519
 into

00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:05.339
 what are we

00:22:05.339 --> 00:22:05.919
 being transformed

00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:06.279
 into

00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:06.660
 and I think

00:22:06.660 --> 00:22:07.100
 secondly

00:22:07.100 --> 00:22:08.180
 how do we

00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:09.000
 renew our minds

00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:10.600
 okay

00:22:10.600 --> 00:22:11.039
 so let's just

00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:11.500
 deal with those

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:12.180
 two questions

00:22:12.180 --> 00:22:13.340
 what are we

00:22:13.340 --> 00:22:13.940
 being transformed

00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:14.300
 into

00:22:14.300 --> 00:22:14.779
 firstly

00:22:14.779 --> 00:22:18.019
 the word

00:22:18.019 --> 00:22:18.200
 is

00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:18.680
 it's not

00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:19.480
 conformed

00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:19.600
 right

00:22:19.600 --> 00:22:20.060
 it's actually

00:22:20.060 --> 00:22:20.800
 transformed

00:22:20.800 --> 00:22:21.539
 and there's

00:22:21.539 --> 00:22:22.140
 a very important

00:22:22.140 --> 00:22:22.840
 distinction in the

00:22:22.840 --> 00:22:23.340
 Greek between

00:22:23.340 --> 00:22:24.340
 those two words

00:22:24.340 --> 00:22:25.500
 that I want to

00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:25.940
 just point out

00:22:25.940 --> 00:22:26.200
 to you

00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:27.640
 we are not

00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:28.580
 being conformed

00:22:28.580 --> 00:22:28.940
 to the world

00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:29.620
 or going along

00:22:29.620 --> 00:22:30.360
 with their schemes

00:22:30.360 --> 00:22:31.420
 or pursuing their

00:22:31.420 --> 00:22:32.039
 goals any longer

00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:32.259
 right

00:22:32.259 --> 00:22:32.600
 like we've

00:22:32.600 --> 00:22:33.140
 just discussed

00:22:33.140 --> 00:22:33.420
 that

00:22:33.420 --> 00:22:34.880
 but we

00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:35.660
 have the word

00:22:35.660 --> 00:22:36.360
 transformed

00:22:36.360 --> 00:22:36.820
 which is

00:22:36.820 --> 00:22:37.240
 actually

00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:39.200
 metamorphome

00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:41.200
 in the Greek

00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:42.019
 metamorphome

00:22:42.019 --> 00:22:42.759
 right

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:43.200
 which sounds

00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:43.779
 just like

00:22:43.779 --> 00:22:44.800
 metamorphosis

00:22:44.800 --> 00:22:46.340
 or morph

00:22:46.340 --> 00:22:48.720
 okay

00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:49.700
 meaning to

00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:50.279
 change into

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:51.080
 an entirely

00:22:51.080 --> 00:22:51.840
 new thing

00:22:51.840 --> 00:22:55.100
 entirely new

00:22:55.100 --> 00:22:55.539
 thing

00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:57.960
 2nd Corinthians

00:22:57.960 --> 00:22:58.660
 517

00:22:58.660 --> 00:22:58.920
 right

00:22:58.920 --> 00:22:59.320
 if any man

00:22:59.320 --> 00:22:59.600
 is in

00:22:59.600 --> 00:22:59.900
 Christ

00:22:59.900 --> 00:23:00.259
 he is

00:23:00.259 --> 00:23:00.460
 a

00:23:00.460 --> 00:23:01.060
 new

00:23:01.060 --> 00:23:01.620
 creation

00:23:01.620 --> 00:23:02.660
 a new

00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:02.980
 creature

00:23:02.980 --> 00:23:03.400
 altogether

00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:03.920
 an entirely

00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:04.259
 new

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:04.580
 entity

00:23:04.580 --> 00:23:04.940
 a new

00:23:04.940 --> 00:23:05.519
 thing

00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:06.779
 the old

00:23:06.779 --> 00:23:07.019
 man has

00:23:07.019 --> 00:23:07.440
 passed away

00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:08.019
 behold new

00:23:08.019 --> 00:23:08.400
 things have

00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:08.700
 come

00:23:08.700 --> 00:23:10.200
 okay

00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:10.640
 the idea

00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:11.019
 here is

00:23:11.019 --> 00:23:11.300
 literally

00:23:11.300 --> 00:23:11.640
 it's kind

00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:11.900
 of that

00:23:11.900 --> 00:23:12.580
 of a tadpole

00:23:12.580 --> 00:23:13.060
 changing

00:23:13.060 --> 00:23:14.080
 into a frog

00:23:14.080 --> 00:23:15.019
 okay

00:23:15.019 --> 00:23:16.200
 or a grub

00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:16.480
 changing

00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:17.380
 into a butterfly

00:23:17.380 --> 00:23:17.980
 of some sort

00:23:17.980 --> 00:23:19.580
 it's that

00:23:19.580 --> 00:23:19.779
 I mean

00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:20.120
 it's that

00:23:20.120 --> 00:23:20.660
 different

00:23:20.660 --> 00:23:21.259
 okay

00:23:21.259 --> 00:23:22.980
 it's a

00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:23.400
 morphing

00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:23.759
 into something

00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:24.039
 that you

00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:24.420
 once were

00:23:24.420 --> 00:23:24.539
 not

00:23:24.539 --> 00:23:24.820
 it's a

00:23:24.820 --> 00:23:25.519
 creature

00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:26.200
 that you

00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:26.700
 once were

00:23:26.700 --> 00:23:27.060
 not

00:23:27.059 --> 00:23:28.799
 God

00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:29.059
 is not

00:23:29.059 --> 00:23:29.279
 merely

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:29.619
 making

00:23:29.619 --> 00:23:30.039
 additions

00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:30.279
 and

00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:30.879
 subtractions

00:23:30.879 --> 00:23:31.099
 to you

00:23:31.099 --> 00:23:31.440
 he's not

00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:31.980
 just trying

00:23:31.980 --> 00:23:32.220
 to make

00:23:32.220 --> 00:23:32.519
 you more

00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:32.879
 moral

00:23:32.879 --> 00:23:33.200
 or make

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:33.440
 you more

00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:33.819
 sweet

00:23:33.819 --> 00:23:34.119
 or make

00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:34.740
 you more

00:23:34.740 --> 00:23:35.700
 kind

00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:36.139
 to be around

00:23:36.139 --> 00:23:36.419
 or make

00:23:36.419 --> 00:23:36.740
 you more

00:23:36.740 --> 00:23:37.099
 humble

00:23:37.099 --> 00:23:37.679
 he's not

00:23:37.679 --> 00:23:38.039
 just trying

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:38.359
 to make

00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:39.500
 you less

00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:40.019
 angry

00:23:40.019 --> 00:23:41.159
 it's not

00:23:41.159 --> 00:23:41.619
 just additions

00:23:41.619 --> 00:23:42.480
 and subtractions

00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:42.759
 here

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:43.559
 but is

00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:43.940
 in the

00:23:43.940 --> 00:23:44.240
 business

00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:45.139
 of transforming

00:23:45.139 --> 00:23:45.379
 you

00:23:45.379 --> 00:23:45.919
 into an

00:23:45.919 --> 00:23:46.379
 entirely

00:23:46.379 --> 00:23:46.799
 new

00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:47.440
 creation

00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:49.639
 eventually

00:23:49.639 --> 00:23:50.119
 with a

00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:50.519
 body

00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:51.220
 and a

00:23:51.220 --> 00:23:51.720
 mind

00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:52.519
 like that

00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:52.839
 of the

00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:53.019
 risen

00:23:53.019 --> 00:23:53.500
 Christ

00:23:53.500 --> 00:23:56.279
 with a

00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:56.559
 mind

00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:56.779
 that's

00:23:56.779 --> 00:23:57.279
 identical

00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:57.720
 or not

00:23:57.720 --> 00:23:58.039
 identical

00:23:58.039 --> 00:23:58.500
 but a

00:23:58.500 --> 00:23:58.679
 mind

00:23:58.679 --> 00:23:58.839
 that's

00:23:58.839 --> 00:23:59.319
 like

00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:00.119
 Christ

00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:00.399
 in a

00:24:00.399 --> 00:24:00.559
 body

00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:00.819
 that's

00:24:00.819 --> 00:24:01.339
 like

00:24:01.339 --> 00:24:01.599
 the

00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:01.819
 risen

00:24:01.819 --> 00:24:02.319
 Christ

00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:03.980
 unlike

00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:04.339
 anything

00:24:04.339 --> 00:24:04.720
 you know

00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:05.839
 right now

00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:08.059
 think about

00:24:08.059 --> 00:24:08.359
 it this way

00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:08.919
 the seed

00:24:08.919 --> 00:24:09.279
 is the

00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:09.879
 Holy Spirit

00:24:09.879 --> 00:24:11.940
 the growth

00:24:11.940 --> 00:24:12.339
 is your

00:24:12.339 --> 00:24:13.099
 sanctification

00:24:13.099 --> 00:24:13.899
 and then

00:24:13.899 --> 00:24:14.460
 the bloom

00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:14.799
 is your

00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:15.480
 glorification

00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:17.179
 think of it

00:24:17.179 --> 00:24:17.480
 that way

00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:17.679
 okay

00:24:17.679 --> 00:24:18.179
 the seed

00:24:18.179 --> 00:24:18.440
 is the

00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:19.019
 Holy Spirit

00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:19.539
 he's been

00:24:19.539 --> 00:24:19.839
 planted

00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:20.399
 inside of

00:24:20.399 --> 00:24:20.579
 you

00:24:20.579 --> 00:24:22.539
 for the

00:24:22.539 --> 00:24:22.779
 purpose

00:24:22.779 --> 00:24:23.299
 of creating

00:24:23.299 --> 00:24:23.720
 life

00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:24.279
 and growing

00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:24.980
 the growth

00:24:24.980 --> 00:24:25.759
 you actually

00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:26.240
 becoming

00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:26.579
 what you

00:24:26.579 --> 00:24:26.799
 already

00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:27.200
 are

00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.420
 that's

00:24:30.420 --> 00:24:31.160
 sanctification

00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:31.940
 that's

00:24:31.940 --> 00:24:32.640
 you becoming

00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:33.140
 set apart

00:24:33.140 --> 00:24:33.620
 for God

00:24:33.620 --> 00:24:33.940
 that's

00:24:33.940 --> 00:24:34.620
 you actually

00:24:34.620 --> 00:24:35.359
 offering your

00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:36.000
 body to God

00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:36.819
 in a living

00:24:36.819 --> 00:24:38.319
 sacrificial way

00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:38.880
 that's pleasing

00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:39.339
 and smelling

00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:39.880
 good to him

00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:42.000
 and then lastly

00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:42.799
 the bloom

00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:43.200
 right when you

00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:43.759
 actually come to

00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:44.460
 full fruition

00:24:44.460 --> 00:24:45.799
 in heaven

00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:47.880
 that's your

00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:48.539
 glorification

00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:50.440
 it's a simple

00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:51.079
 little illustration

00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:51.599
 to kind of think

00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:51.960
 about what's

00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:52.500
 happening here

00:24:52.500 --> 00:24:53.859
 so transformation

00:24:53.859 --> 00:24:54.039
 transformation

00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:54.839
 in our text

00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:55.699
 refers to

00:24:55.699 --> 00:24:56.799
 God's purpose

00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:57.399
 and God's

00:24:57.399 --> 00:24:57.879
 means

00:24:57.879 --> 00:24:59.039
 of transforming

00:24:59.039 --> 00:24:59.459
 us

00:24:59.459 --> 00:25:00.559
 more and more

00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:01.539
 into the image

00:25:01.539 --> 00:25:02.399
 and the likeness

00:25:02.399 --> 00:25:02.839
 of the risen

00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:03.240
 Christ

00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:04.159
 that's exactly

00:25:04.159 --> 00:25:04.799
 what that means

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:05.039
 okay

00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:05.339
 what are we

00:25:05.339 --> 00:25:05.859
 being transformed

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:06.240
 into

00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:07.479
 again

00:25:07.479 --> 00:25:07.759
 I'm going to

00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:08.000
 read some

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:08.379
 text here

00:25:08.379 --> 00:25:08.699
 in a second

00:25:08.699 --> 00:25:09.240
 we are

00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:10.599
 through the

00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:10.919
 text

00:25:10.919 --> 00:25:11.179
 okay

00:25:11.179 --> 00:25:11.919
 God's purpose

00:25:11.919 --> 00:25:12.459
 and God's

00:25:12.459 --> 00:25:12.819
 means

00:25:12.819 --> 00:25:13.919
 of transforming

00:25:13.919 --> 00:25:14.539
 us more

00:25:14.539 --> 00:25:15.019
 and more

00:25:15.019 --> 00:25:16.479
 into the image

00:25:16.479 --> 00:25:17.519
 and likeness

00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:18.179
 of the risen

00:25:18.179 --> 00:25:18.519
 Christ

00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:19.139
 is what he

00:25:19.139 --> 00:25:19.839
 means by that

00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:20.000
 word

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:20.619
 transformation

00:25:20.619 --> 00:25:22.259
 all right

00:25:22.259 --> 00:25:22.659
 so let's

00:25:22.659 --> 00:25:23.000
 just kind of

00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:23.459
 deal with it

00:25:23.459 --> 00:25:24.079
 again back

00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:24.359
 into that

00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:25.019
 the seed

00:25:25.019 --> 00:25:25.419
 the growth

00:25:25.419 --> 00:25:25.739
 and the

00:25:25.739 --> 00:25:26.739
 bloom

00:25:26.739 --> 00:25:27.739
 analogy here

00:25:27.739 --> 00:25:28.679
 so the seed

00:25:28.679 --> 00:25:29.459
 or the Holy Spirit

00:25:29.459 --> 00:25:29.899
 let's look at

00:25:29.899 --> 00:25:30.500
 Romans 8

00:25:30.500 --> 00:25:35.679
 just so you know

00:25:35.679 --> 00:25:36.299
 what God's doing

00:25:36.299 --> 00:25:36.879
 kind of in order

00:25:36.879 --> 00:25:37.139
 here

00:25:37.139 --> 00:25:37.779
 the seed

00:25:37.779 --> 00:25:38.259
 is the first

00:25:38.259 --> 00:25:38.500
 thing

00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:39.139
 the Holy Spirit

00:25:39.139 --> 00:25:39.599
 is implanted

00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:40.219
 inside you

00:25:40.219 --> 00:25:41.559
 this is Romans 8

00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:42.679
 verse 11

00:25:42.679 --> 00:25:44.119
 but if the spirit

00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:44.579
 of him

00:25:44.579 --> 00:25:45.619
 who raised

00:25:45.619 --> 00:25:46.239
 Jesus from

00:25:46.239 --> 00:25:47.019
 the dead

00:25:47.019 --> 00:25:47.639
 dwells

00:25:47.639 --> 00:25:48.839
 inside of you

00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:49.859
 he who raised

00:25:49.859 --> 00:25:50.479
 Christ Jesus

00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:51.099
 from the dead

00:25:51.099 --> 00:25:52.579
 will also give

00:25:52.579 --> 00:25:53.120
 life to your

00:25:53.120 --> 00:25:53.819
 mortal bodies

00:25:53.819 --> 00:25:56.259
 through his

00:25:56.259 --> 00:25:56.660
 spirit who

00:25:56.660 --> 00:25:57.259
 indwells you

00:25:57.259 --> 00:25:59.240
 okay

00:25:59.240 --> 00:25:59.860
 see that

00:25:59.860 --> 00:26:00.779
 the Holy Spirit

00:26:00.779 --> 00:26:01.660
 was given to you

00:26:01.660 --> 00:26:02.460
 to breathe

00:26:02.460 --> 00:26:03.039
 life in

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:05.819
 there's potential

00:26:05.819 --> 00:26:06.799
 now for life

00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:08.019
 inside of you

00:26:08.019 --> 00:26:09.579
 the life of God

00:26:09.579 --> 00:26:11.059
 unlike anything

00:26:11.059 --> 00:26:11.620
 that we've known

00:26:11.620 --> 00:26:12.420
 secondly

00:26:12.420 --> 00:26:12.920
 the growth

00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:13.299
 let's go to

00:26:13.299 --> 00:26:13.779
 Romans 8

00:26:13.779 --> 00:26:14.180
 29

00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:15.480
 look at this

00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:16.720
 this is again

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.319
 what it looks like

00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:17.759
 in your life

00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:18.180
 Romans 8

00:26:18.180 --> 00:26:18.500
 29

00:26:18.500 --> 00:26:18.940
 for whom

00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:20.299
 whom he foreknew

00:26:20.299 --> 00:26:21.299
 he also

00:26:21.299 --> 00:26:22.259
 predestined

00:26:22.259 --> 00:26:23.480
 to become

00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:24.639
 what

00:26:24.639 --> 00:26:26.559
 conformed

00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:27.599
 to the image

00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:28.500
 of his son

00:26:28.500 --> 00:26:30.859
 conformed

00:26:30.859 --> 00:26:31.220
 to the image

00:26:31.220 --> 00:26:31.740
 of his son

00:26:31.740 --> 00:26:33.039
 that's what it

00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:33.559
 looks like

00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:34.180
 the way that it

00:26:34.180 --> 00:26:34.779
 looks to everybody

00:26:34.779 --> 00:26:34.980
 else

00:26:34.980 --> 00:26:35.779
 the way that it

00:26:35.779 --> 00:26:36.259
 should eventually

00:26:36.259 --> 00:26:36.579
 begin

00:26:36.579 --> 00:26:36.839
 you know

00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:37.319
 being look

00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:37.879
 or looking

00:26:37.879 --> 00:26:38.279
 to you

00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:39.139
 is that you'll

00:26:39.139 --> 00:26:40.559
 be becoming

00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:41.539
 conformed

00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:42.139
 to the image

00:26:42.139 --> 00:26:42.839
 of Christ

00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:44.480
 you'll be

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:44.940
 growing into

00:26:44.940 --> 00:26:45.639
 Christ likeness

00:26:45.639 --> 00:26:46.259
 and then lastly

00:26:46.259 --> 00:26:46.779
 the bloom

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.480
 1st John

00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:48.900
 3 verse 2

00:26:48.900 --> 00:26:50.900
 1st John

00:26:50.900 --> 00:26:51.640
 3 verse 2

00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:52.279
 listen to this

00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:53.059
 beloved

00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:53.860
 now we are

00:26:53.860 --> 00:26:54.640
 children of God

00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:56.339
 and it is not

00:26:56.339 --> 00:26:57.140
 appeared as yet

00:26:57.140 --> 00:26:58.059
 but we shall be

00:26:58.059 --> 00:26:59.480
 we know that

00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:00.400
 when he appears

00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:01.099
 when Jesus

00:27:01.099 --> 00:27:01.519
 appears

00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:02.000
 when he comes

00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:02.420
 back

00:27:02.420 --> 00:27:02.759
 or when we

00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:03.279
 see him

00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:04.680
 we shall be

00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:05.360
 like him

00:27:05.360 --> 00:27:06.579
 because we

00:27:06.579 --> 00:27:07.120
 shall see him

00:27:07.120 --> 00:27:07.680
 as he is

00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:09.599
 so that's what

00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:10.680
 is ahead of you

00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:11.799
 if you're a Christian

00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:14.500
 to be like

00:27:14.500 --> 00:27:14.940
 Jesus

00:27:14.940 --> 00:27:15.919
 to see him

00:27:15.919 --> 00:27:16.579
 as he is

00:27:16.579 --> 00:27:17.720
 to reflect him

00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:18.859
 without all this

00:27:18.859 --> 00:27:19.399
 sin and

00:27:19.399 --> 00:27:22.099
 the filth

00:27:22.099 --> 00:27:23.379
 in our life

00:27:23.379 --> 00:27:24.460
 ok

00:27:24.460 --> 00:27:25.299
 so that's kind

00:27:25.299 --> 00:27:25.680
 of the first

00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:26.159
 point there

00:27:26.159 --> 00:27:26.759
 what are we

00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:27.279
 being transformed

00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:27.680
 into

00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:28.659
 Christ likeness

00:27:28.659 --> 00:27:29.119
 and eventually

00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:29.899
 very much

00:27:29.899 --> 00:27:30.500
 Christ likeness

00:27:30.500 --> 00:27:31.180
 a lot of

00:27:31.180 --> 00:27:32.519
 Christ likeness

00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:33.960
 alright

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:34.440
 secondly

00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:35.440
 how does this

00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:35.799
 transformation

00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:37.159
 take place

00:27:37.159 --> 00:27:39.639
 the verse

00:27:39.639 --> 00:27:40.079
 tells us

00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:40.579
 by the renewal

00:27:40.579 --> 00:27:41.200
 of your mind

00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:42.980
 which leads us

00:27:42.980 --> 00:27:43.380
 to the second

00:27:43.380 --> 00:27:43.779
 question

00:27:43.779 --> 00:27:44.220
 how do we

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:45.039
 renew our minds

00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:46.160
 how do we

00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:46.880
 renew our minds

00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:48.400
 this is a huge

00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:48.900
 question

00:27:48.900 --> 00:27:50.759
 huge

00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:53.680
 the first thing

00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:54.240
 that I kind of

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:54.539
 thought about

00:27:54.539 --> 00:27:54.960
 when I read

00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:55.460
 that portion

00:27:55.460 --> 00:27:55.860
 of the text

00:27:55.860 --> 00:27:56.600
 again let's

00:27:56.600 --> 00:27:56.960
 just read it

00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:57.140
 together

00:27:57.140 --> 00:27:57.580
 so we really

00:27:57.580 --> 00:27:58.039
 are clear

00:27:58.039 --> 00:27:59.440
 it says

00:27:59.440 --> 00:27:59.940
 and do not

00:27:59.940 --> 00:28:00.539
 be conformed

00:28:00.539 --> 00:28:00.920
 to this world

00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:01.319
 but be

00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:02.200
 transformed

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:03.080
 how

00:28:03.080 --> 00:28:04.559
 by the renewing

00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:05.600
 of your mind

00:28:05.600 --> 00:28:06.960
 the first thing

00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:07.279
 that came to

00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:07.660
 my mind

00:28:07.660 --> 00:28:07.980
 was

00:28:07.980 --> 00:28:08.900
 why the mind

00:28:08.900 --> 00:28:11.100
 why

00:28:11.099 --> 00:28:11.659
 what about

00:28:11.659 --> 00:28:12.159
 the mind

00:28:12.159 --> 00:28:13.099
 is going

00:28:13.099 --> 00:28:13.799
 to transform

00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:14.240
 me

00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:17.199
 that was

00:28:17.199 --> 00:28:17.599
 my first

00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:17.959
 thought

00:28:17.959 --> 00:28:18.959
 okay

00:28:18.959 --> 00:28:19.779
 and I think

00:28:19.779 --> 00:28:20.279
 it is because

00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:20.899
 your thoughts

00:28:20.899 --> 00:28:21.419
 dwell there

00:28:21.419 --> 00:28:23.199
 it's because

00:28:23.199 --> 00:28:23.500
 that's where

00:28:23.500 --> 00:28:23.919
 your thoughts

00:28:23.919 --> 00:28:24.359
 dwell

00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:24.759
 and your

00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:25.199
 will

00:28:25.199 --> 00:28:25.740
 or your

00:28:25.740 --> 00:28:26.039
 ability

00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:26.500
 to choose

00:28:26.500 --> 00:28:26.980
 things

00:28:26.980 --> 00:28:27.659
 acts

00:28:27.659 --> 00:28:28.000
 according

00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:28.319
 to your

00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:28.740
 thoughts

00:28:28.740 --> 00:28:30.480
 okay

00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:30.799
 did you guys

00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:31.099
 get that

00:28:31.099 --> 00:28:31.519
 I'm going to

00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:31.939
 give you an

00:28:31.939 --> 00:28:32.259
 illustration

00:28:32.259 --> 00:28:32.439
 here

00:28:32.439 --> 00:28:32.599
 so you

00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:32.839
 got to

00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:33.279
 understand

00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:33.879
 those two

00:28:33.879 --> 00:28:34.359
 concepts

00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:34.980
 I think

00:28:34.980 --> 00:28:35.459
 the reason

00:28:35.459 --> 00:28:35.939
 why he says

00:28:35.939 --> 00:28:36.379
 the mind

00:28:36.379 --> 00:28:36.699
 is because

00:28:36.699 --> 00:28:37.240
 your thoughts

00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:37.740
 dwell there

00:28:37.740 --> 00:28:38.279
 that's where

00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:38.819
 you think

00:28:38.819 --> 00:28:39.299
 in your

00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:39.720
 mind

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:40.319
 and then

00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:40.900
 your will

00:28:40.900 --> 00:28:41.420
 what you

00:28:41.420 --> 00:28:41.880
 choose to

00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:42.200
 do

00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:42.920
 if you

00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:43.319
 choose to

00:28:43.319 --> 00:28:43.620
 do this

00:28:43.620 --> 00:28:43.880
 versus

00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:44.400
 choosing to

00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:44.740
 do that

00:28:44.740 --> 00:28:45.660
 that is

00:28:45.660 --> 00:28:46.960
 dictated by

00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:47.559
 what's in

00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:48.059
 your mind

00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:50.279
 it acts

00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:50.579
 on the

00:28:50.579 --> 00:28:50.839
 thoughts

00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:51.339
 in there

00:28:51.339 --> 00:28:53.299
 okay

00:28:53.299 --> 00:28:55.220
 think of

00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:55.660
 your thoughts

00:28:55.660 --> 00:28:56.420
 as ingredients

00:28:56.420 --> 00:28:57.460
 and your

00:28:57.460 --> 00:28:58.140
 will as a

00:28:58.140 --> 00:28:58.400
 cook

00:28:58.400 --> 00:28:59.819
 okay

00:28:59.819 --> 00:29:00.299
 follow this

00:29:00.299 --> 00:29:00.720
 illustration

00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:01.259
 think of

00:29:01.259 --> 00:29:01.680
 your thoughts

00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:02.259
 as ingredients

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:02.920
 and your

00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:03.359
 will as a

00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:03.599
 cook

00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:04.160
 you can

00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:04.500
 make from

00:29:04.500 --> 00:29:04.900
 the same

00:29:04.900 --> 00:29:05.380
 ingredients

00:29:05.380 --> 00:29:06.120
 something that

00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:35.500
 is

00:34:35.500 --> 00:34:35.860
 changed

00:34:35.860 --> 00:34:36.060
 and the

00:34:36.060 --> 00:34:36.240
 things

00:34:36.240 --> 00:34:36.519
 within

00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:36.640
 you

00:34:36.640 --> 00:34:36.840
 begin

00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:36.960
 to

00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:37.240
 change

00:34:37.240 --> 00:34:37.519
 the

00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:37.860
 desires

00:34:37.860 --> 00:34:38.040
 within

00:34:38.040 --> 00:34:38.140
 you

00:34:38.140 --> 00:34:38.320
 begin

00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:38.380
 to

00:34:38.380 --> 00:34:38.500
 be

00:34:38.500 --> 00:34:39.140
 perfected

00:34:39.140 --> 00:34:40.120
 your

00:34:40.120 --> 00:34:40.480
 life

00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:40.640
 will

00:34:40.640 --> 00:34:40.820
 just

00:34:40.820 --> 00:34:41.420
 naturally

00:34:41.420 --> 00:34:41.880
 become

00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:42.560
 pleasing

00:34:48.780 --> 00:34:49.120
 life

00:34:49.120 --> 00:34:50.800
 it's

00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:51.140
 so

00:34:51.140 --> 00:34:51.420
 much

00:34:51.420 --> 00:34:51.680
 richer

00:34:51.680 --> 00:34:51.860
 that

00:34:51.860 --> 00:34:52.100
 way

00:34:52.100 --> 00:34:53.560
 the

00:34:53.560 --> 00:34:53.780
 third

00:34:53.780 --> 00:34:54.460
 way

00:34:54.460 --> 00:34:54.600
 that

00:34:54.600 --> 00:34:54.700
 we

00:34:54.700 --> 00:34:54.940
 offer

00:34:54.940 --> 00:34:55.120
 our

00:34:55.120 --> 00:34:55.380
 bodies

00:34:55.380 --> 00:34:55.580
 to

00:34:55.580 --> 00:34:55.780
 God

00:34:55.780 --> 00:34:55.880
 in

00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:55.960
 a

00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:56.100
 well

00:34:56.100 --> 00:34:56.360
 pleasing

00:34:56.360 --> 00:34:56.720
 way

00:34:56.720 --> 00:34:57.280
 is

00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:57.440
 by

00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:57.960
 proving

00:34:57.960 --> 00:34:58.200
 the

00:34:58.200 --> 00:34:58.360
 will

00:34:58.360 --> 00:34:58.500
 of

00:34:58.500 --> 00:34:58.720
 God

00:34:58.720 --> 00:34:58.880
 with

00:34:58.880 --> 00:34:59.040
 our

00:34:59.040 --> 00:34:59.340
 life

00:34:59.340 --> 00:34:59.519
 this

00:34:59.519 --> 00:34:59.620
 is

00:34:59.620 --> 00:34:59.720
 a

00:34:59.720 --> 00:34:59.840
 really

00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:00.120
 short

00:35:00.120 --> 00:35:00.280
 one

00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:00.820
 it's

00:35:00.820 --> 00:35:01.000
 very

00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:01.320
 simple

00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:01.560
 I think

00:35:01.560 --> 00:35:01.780
 in light

00:35:01.780 --> 00:35:01.860
 of

00:35:01.860 --> 00:35:01.920
 what

00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:02.060
 we've

00:35:02.060 --> 00:35:02.180
 already

00:35:02.180 --> 00:35:02.440
 talked

00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:02.680
 about

00:35:02.680 --> 00:35:03.300
 so

00:35:03.300 --> 00:35:03.420
 what

00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:03.500
 does

00:35:03.500 --> 00:35:03.580
 it

00:35:03.580 --> 00:35:03.680
 mean

00:35:03.680 --> 00:35:03.820
 to

00:35:03.820 --> 00:35:04.120
 prove

00:35:04.120 --> 00:35:04.260
 the

00:35:04.260 --> 00:35:04.360
 will

00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:04.500
 of

00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:04.820
 God

00:35:04.820 --> 00:35:08.220
 let's

00:35:08.220 --> 00:35:08.560
 read

00:35:08.560 --> 00:35:08.680
 the

00:35:08.680 --> 00:35:08.900
 verse

00:35:08.900 --> 00:35:09.140
 once

00:35:09.140 --> 00:35:09.440
 more

00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:10.360
 do

00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:10.519
 not

00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:10.640
 be

00:35:10.640 --> 00:35:11.080
 conformed

00:35:11.080 --> 00:35:11.120
 to

00:35:11.119 --> 00:35:11.259
 this

00:35:11.259 --> 00:35:11.420
 world

00:35:11.420 --> 00:35:11.519
 will

00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:11.639
 be

00:35:11.639 --> 00:35:12.159
 transformed

00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:12.539
 by

00:35:12.539 --> 00:35:12.679
 the

00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:13.000
 renewing

00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:13.119
 of

00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:13.239
 your

00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:13.719
 mind

00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:14.420
 why

00:35:14.420 --> 00:35:15.519
 why

00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:15.639
 would

00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:15.739
 I

00:35:15.739 --> 00:35:15.880
 care

00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:16.000
 about

00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:16.079
 a

00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:16.279
 renewed

00:35:16.279 --> 00:35:16.579
 mind

00:35:16.579 --> 00:35:17.000
 that

00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:17.199
 you

00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:17.420
 may

00:35:17.420 --> 00:35:18.079
 prove

00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:18.519
 what

00:35:18.519 --> 00:35:18.679
 the

00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:18.880
 will

00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:19.039
 of

00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:19.299
 God

00:35:19.299 --> 00:35:19.659
 is

00:35:19.659 --> 00:35:20.159
 that

00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:20.359
 which

00:35:20.359 --> 00:35:20.559
 is

00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:20.940
 good

00:35:20.940 --> 00:35:21.500
 and

00:35:21.500 --> 00:35:21.719
 well

00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:22.199
 pleasing

00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:23.059
 and

00:35:23.059 --> 00:35:23.500
 perfect

00:35:23.500 --> 00:35:25.779
 and

00:35:25.779 --> 00:35:25.940
 again

00:35:25.940 --> 00:35:26.159
 if you

00:35:26.159 --> 00:35:26.480
 understand

00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:26.619
 what

00:35:26.619 --> 00:35:26.719
 has

00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:26.839
 been

00:35:26.839 --> 00:35:27.079
 said

00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:27.299
 so

00:35:27.299 --> 00:35:27.719
 far

00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:28.599
 okay

00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:29.299
 that

00:35:29.299 --> 00:35:29.779
 we

00:35:29.779 --> 00:35:29.900
 have

00:35:29.900 --> 00:35:30.059
 been

00:35:30.059 --> 00:35:30.599
 saved

00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:30.960
 out

00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:31.099
 of

00:35:31.099 --> 00:35:31.639
 conformity

00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:31.759
 to

00:35:31.759 --> 00:35:31.940
 this

00:35:31.940 --> 00:35:32.299
 world

00:35:32.299 --> 00:35:33.480
 saved

00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:33.739
 out

00:35:33.739 --> 00:35:33.859
 of

 that

00:35:34.059 --> 00:35:34.519
 conformity

00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:34.619
 to

00:35:34.619 --> 00:35:34.779
 this

00:35:34.779 --> 00:35:34.980
 world

00:35:34.980 --> 00:35:35.139
 and

00:35:35.139 --> 00:35:35.559
 into

00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:35.920
 Christ

00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:36.480
 likeness

00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:37.460
 which

00:35:37.460 --> 00:35:37.820
 comes

00:35:37.820 --> 00:35:38.079
 by

00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:38.500
 way

00:35:38.500 --> 00:35:38.700
 of

00:35:38.700 --> 00:35:40.740
 knowing

00:35:40.740 --> 00:35:41.019
 the

00:35:41.019 --> 00:35:41.420
 truth

00:35:41.420 --> 00:35:42.340
 and

00:35:42.340 --> 00:35:42.820
 entrusting

00:35:42.820 --> 00:35:43.039
 our

 lives

00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:43.639
 to

00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:44.019
 him

00:35:44.019 --> 00:35:46.260
 then

00:35:46.260 --> 00:35:46.420
 this

00:35:46.420 --> 00:35:46.680
 last

00:35:46.680 --> 00:35:46.900
 point

00:35:46.900 --> 00:35:47.019
 is

00:35:47.019 --> 00:35:47.240
 very

00:35:47.240 --> 00:35:47.599
 simple

00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:48.079
 proving

00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:48.220
 the

 through

 your

00:35:49.740 --> 00:35:49.980
 life

00:35:49.980 --> 00:35:50.139
 that

00:35:50.139 --> 00:35:50.280
 God

00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:50.380
 is

00:35:50.380 --> 00:35:50.619
 better

00:35:50.619 --> 00:35:52.559
 that's

00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:52.840
 it

00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:54.920
 proving

00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:55.639
 some

00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:55.800
 of your

00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:56.159
 Bibles

00:35:56.159 --> 00:35:56.480
 may say

00:35:56.480 --> 00:35:56.980
 discerning

00:35:56.980 --> 00:35:57.079
 or

00:35:57.079 --> 00:35:58.680
 by testing

00:35:58.680 --> 00:35:59.119
 discern

00:35:59.119 --> 00:35:59.360
 what the

 of

00:35:59.500 --> 00:35:59.599
 God

00:35:59.599 --> 00:35:59.760
 is

00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:00.680
 essentially

00:36:00.680 --> 00:36:00.920
 it's

00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:01.079
 getting

00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:01.200
 at

00:36:01.200 --> 00:36:01.300
 the

 idea

00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:01.760
 of

00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:02.400
 proving

00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:02.920
 by

00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:03.400
 testing

00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:05.900
 okay

00:36:05.900 --> 00:36:06.280
 proving

00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:06.460
 that

00:36:06.460 --> 00:36:06.860
 the

00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:11.200
 you

00:36:11.200 --> 00:36:11.519
 will

00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:11.980
 then

00:36:11.980 --> 00:36:12.380
 prove

00:36:12.380 --> 00:36:12.579
 through

00:36:12.579 --> 00:36:12.700
 your

00:36:13.019 --> 00:36:13.180
 through

00:36:13.180 --> 00:36:13.320
 that

00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:13.599
 renewed

00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:13.920
 mind

00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:14.400
 life

00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:15.800
 that

00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:16.180
 God's

00:36:16.180 --> 00:36:16.340
 will

00:36:16.340 --> 00:36:16.780
 all along

00:36:16.780 --> 00:36:16.940
 was

00:36:16.940 --> 00:36:17.160
 good

00:36:17.160 --> 00:36:17.340
 and

00:36:17.340 --> 00:36:18.280
 well

00:36:18.280 --> 00:36:18.559
 pleasing

00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:18.820
 and

00:36:18.820 --> 00:36:19.780
 perfect

00:36:19.780 --> 00:36:20.880
 that

00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:21.000
 his

00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:21.160
 will

00:36:21.160 --> 00:36:21.340
 for

00:36:21.340 --> 00:36:21.480
 us

00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:21.619
 is

00:36:21.619 --> 00:36:21.920
 actually

00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:22.340
 good

00:36:22.340 --> 00:36:23.079
 and

00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:23.200
 it's

00:36:23.200 --> 00:36:23.340
 not

00:36:23.340 --> 00:36:23.840
 destructive

00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:24.380
 like

00:36:24.380 --> 00:36:24.519
 the

00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:24.780
 world

00:36:24.780 --> 00:36:26.160
 what

00:36:26.160 --> 00:36:26.280
 the

00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:26.500
 world

00:36:26.500 --> 00:36:27.139
 wills

00:36:27.139 --> 00:36:27.400
 okay

00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:27.680
 even

00:36:27.680 --> 00:36:27.780
 though

00:36:27.780 --> 00:36:27.880
 it

00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:28.559
 doesn't

00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:29.420
 it

00:36:29.420 --> 00:36:29.680
 doesn't

00:36:29.680 --> 00:36:29.960
 title

00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:30.079
 it

00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:30.240
 like

00:36:30.240 --> 00:36:30.519
 this

00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:30.720
 what

00:36:30.720 --> 00:36:30.820
 the

00:36:30.820 --> 00:36:31.000
 world

00:36:35.900 --> 00:36:36.160
 I was

00:36:36.160 --> 00:36:36.240
 going

00:36:36.240 --> 00:36:36.280
 to

00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:36.420
 talk

00:36:36.420 --> 00:36:36.619
 about

00:36:36.619 --> 00:36:36.940
 how

00:36:36.940 --> 00:36:37.059
 the

00:36:37.059 --> 00:36:37.280
 world

00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:37.400
 is

00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:37.500
 in

00:36:37.500 --> 00:36:37.880
 Satan's

00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:38.079
 hands

00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:38.760
 1 John

00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:41.680
 I think

00:36:41.680 --> 00:36:43.840
 it's

00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:44.059
 3

00:36:44.059 --> 00:36:44.360
 19

00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:44.940
 I can't

00:36:44.940 --> 00:36:45.099
 remember

00:36:45.099 --> 00:36:45.240
 but

00:36:45.240 --> 00:36:45.559
 exactly

00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:45.760
 he

00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:46.180
 basically

00:36:46.180 --> 00:36:46.519
 says

00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:46.940
 that

00:36:46.940 --> 00:36:47.400
 Satan

00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:47.539
 is

00:36:47.539 --> 00:36:47.660
 the

00:36:47.660 --> 00:36:47.820
 ruler

00:36:47.820 --> 00:36:47.940
 of

00:36:47.940 --> 00:36:48.039
 this

00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:48.280
 world

00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:48.780
 there's

00:36:48.780 --> 00:36:48.940
 many

00:36:48.940 --> 00:36:49.099
 other

00:36:49.099 --> 00:36:49.400
 passages

00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:49.740
 just

00:36:49.740 --> 00:36:49.960
 like

00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:50.160
 that

00:36:50.160 --> 00:36:50.519
 the

00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:50.780
 world

00:36:50.780 --> 00:36:50.980
 is

00:36:50.980 --> 00:36:51.079
 in

00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:51.200
 the

00:36:51.200 --> 00:36:51.519
 power

00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:51.720
 of

00:36:51.720 --> 00:36:51.840
 the

00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:52.099
 evil

00:36:52.099 --> 00:36:52.380
 one

00:36:52.380 --> 00:36:52.660
 the

00:36:52.660 --> 00:36:52.760
 Bible

00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:52.920
 says

00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:53.059
 that

00:36:53.059 --> 00:36:53.240
 many

00:36:53.240 --> 00:36:53.519
 times

00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:53.760
 John

00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:54.119
 13

00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:54.400
 says

00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:54.639
 that

00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:55.119
 okay

00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:55.360
 so

00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:55.500
 the

00:36:55.500 --> 00:36:55.860
 idea

00:36:55.860 --> 00:36:56.260
 here

00:36:56.260 --> 00:36:56.700
 is

00:36:56.700 --> 00:36:56.880
 that

00:36:56.880 --> 00:36:56.880


00:36:56.880 --> 00:36:57.059
 if

00:36:57.059 --> 00:36:57.220
 you

00:36:57.220 --> 00:36:57.639
 follow

00:36:57.639 --> 00:36:57.840
 the

00:36:57.840 --> 00:36:58.019
 will

00:36:58.019 --> 00:36:58.140
 of

00:36:58.140 --> 00:36:58.260
 the

00:36:58.260 --> 00:36:58.559
 world

00:36:58.559 --> 00:36:58.940
 you

00:36:58.940 --> 00:36:59.100
 will

00:36:59.100 --> 00:36:59.360
 find

00:36:59.360 --> 00:36:59.680
 yourself

00:36:59.680 --> 00:37:00.059
 destroyed

00:37:00.059 --> 00:37:00.220
 by

00:37:00.220 --> 00:37:00.360
 the

00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:00.600
 devil

00:37:00.600 --> 00:37:03.480
 but

00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:03.600
 if

00:37:03.600 --> 00:37:03.720
 you

00:37:03.720 --> 00:37:03.960
 follow

00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:04.079
 the

00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:04.180
 will

00:37:04.180 --> 00:37:04.300
 of

00:37:04.300 --> 00:37:04.600
 God

00:37:04.600 --> 00:37:05.519
 which

00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:05.660
 is

00:37:05.660 --> 00:37:05.940
 actually

00:37:05.940 --> 00:37:06.200
 good

00:37:06.200 --> 00:37:06.380
 for

00:37:06.380 --> 00:37:06.600
 you

00:37:06.600 --> 00:37:08.059
 you

00:37:08.059 --> 00:37:08.200
 won't

00:37:08.200 --> 00:37:08.400
 find

00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:08.539
 that

00:37:08.539 --> 00:37:08.700
 same

00:37:08.700 --> 00:37:09.059
 destruction

00:37:09.059 --> 00:37:09.320
 you'll

00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:09.500
 find

 blessing

00:37:09.860 --> 00:37:10.140

 abundance

00:37:47.579 --> 00:37:48.340
 his

00:37:48.340 --> 00:37:48.680
 perfect

00:37:48.680 --> 00:37:48.900
 plan

00:37:48.900 --> 00:37:49.019
 of

00:37:49.019 --> 00:37:49.300
 redemption

00:37:49.300 --> 00:37:51.180
 and

00:37:51.180 --> 00:37:51.500
 that

00:37:51.500 --> 00:37:51.740
 he

00:37:51.739 --> 00:37:52.039
 will

00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:53.099
 do

00:37:53.099 --> 00:37:53.419
 that

00:37:53.419 --> 00:37:54.259
 more

00:37:54.259 --> 00:37:54.399
 and

00:37:54.399 --> 00:37:54.579
 more

00:37:54.579 --> 00:37:54.759
 as

00:37:54.759 --> 00:37:54.859
 we

00:37:54.859 --> 00:37:55.379
 resist

00:37:55.379 --> 00:37:55.659
 the

00:37:55.659 --> 00:37:56.099
 temptation

00:37:56.099 --> 00:37:56.299
 of

00:37:56.299 --> 00:37:56.419
 the

00:37:56.419 --> 00:37:56.699
 world

00:37:56.699 --> 00:37:57.259
 to

00:37:57.259 --> 00:37:57.439
 go

00:37:57.439 --> 00:37:57.679
 its

00:37:57.679 --> 00:37:57.959
 way

00:37:57.959 --> 00:37:58.859
 and

00:37:58.859 --> 00:37:59.199
 submit

00:37:59.199 --> 00:37:59.679
 ourselves

00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:00.139
 joyfully

00:38:00.139 --> 00:38:00.339
 to

00:38:00.339 --> 00:38:00.599
 him

00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:02.000
 as

00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:02.139
 a

00:38:02.139 --> 00:38:02.399
 holy

00:38:02.399 --> 00:38:02.519
 and

00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:02.739
 living

00:38:02.739 --> 00:38:03.439
 sacrifice

00:38:03.439 --> 00:38:06.500
 does that

00:38:06.500 --> 00:38:06.979
 make sense

00:38:06.979 --> 00:38:09.099
 I hope

00:38:09.099 --> 00:38:09.279
 that's

00:38:09.279 --> 00:38:09.559
 clear

00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:11.039
 that's

00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:11.359
 essentially

00:38:11.359 --> 00:38:11.579
 what

00:38:11.579 --> 00:38:11.959
 verse

00:38:11.959 --> 00:38:12.159
 two

00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:12.459
 says

00:38:12.459 --> 00:38:12.919
 after

00:38:12.919 --> 00:38:14.079
 this

00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:14.259
 we'll

00:38:14.259 --> 00:38:14.379
 be

00:38:14.379 --> 00:38:14.519
 getting

00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:14.779
 into

00:38:14.779 --> 00:38:16.359
 what

00:38:16.359 --> 00:38:16.559
 that

00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:17.179
 specifically

00:38:17.179 --> 00:38:17.619
 means

00:38:17.619 --> 00:38:18.579
 literally

00:38:18.579 --> 00:38:18.979
 the rest

00:38:18.979 --> 00:38:19.179
 of the

00:38:19.179 --> 00:38:19.399
 book

00:38:19.399 --> 00:38:19.759
 leading

00:38:19.759 --> 00:38:19.939
 into

00:38:19.939 --> 00:38:20.299
 16

00:38:20.299 --> 00:38:20.699
 is

00:38:20.699 --> 00:38:21.259
 just

00:38:21.260 --> 00:38:21.460
 kind

00:38:21.460 --> 00:38:21.540
 of

00:38:21.540 --> 00:38:21.700
 about

00:38:21.700 --> 00:38:22.000
 how

00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:23.100
