00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.640
 Well, this past fall, I guess, leading into Christmas here, we've been journeying together

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:09.820
 through the story of Abraham.

00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:12.939
 We've been looking at it from a number of different angles.

00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:20.059
 It began seemingly a little bit as just the story of one man, Abraham.

00:00:20.699 --> 00:00:25.320
 But as we looked at it a little more, we began to see that this is about more than just Abraham.

00:00:25.580 --> 00:00:27.440
 This is God's story.

00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:30.960
 This is about more than just one man.

00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:37.420
 This is about the children, the offspring that he has promised to Abraham,

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.740
 and not just promised to him, but promised to bless as a gift of grace.

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.000
 And we've been seeing that it's more than just for his family,

00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:50.140
 that God is actually doing something much bigger through this,

00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:56.060
 that this is the story of how he plans to bless the world through this one man.

00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.939
 We're going to continue looking at his life, his story.

00:01:01.299 --> 00:01:04.299
 This morning, we're looking at it through a little bit of a different lens,

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:10.340
 through the lens of the Apostle Paul in his letter to the church in the region of Galatia.

00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:14.479
 If you have your Bible with you, please open it up to Galatians chapter 3.

00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.380
 Galatians chapter 3.

00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:26.020
 This is a very unique letter that the Apostle Paul has penned.

00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.920
 It's to a whole number of churches in the region of Galatia.

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:38.519
 And more than any of, I think, of his letters, there's quite the tone in this letter.

00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.180
 There's quite the passion in this letter.

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.500
 There's quite the concern in this letter.

00:01:44.659 --> 00:01:52.180
 We hear the heart of a shepherd who sees the sheep of Christ being threatened by wolves.

00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:58.880
 What's going on in the churches in the region of Galatia?

00:02:00.580 --> 00:02:04.520
 Paul, after his initial greetings, gets right down to business.

00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:13.620
 He says, I'm concerned that there is a false gospel that has kind of leaked into your churches.

00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.200
 There are some who are promoting it.

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:19.439
 There are some who are telling you some things.

00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.120
 And it's completely wrong.

00:02:22.979 --> 00:02:28.719
 It goes completely against the good news of what Jesus has done for you.

00:02:29.020 --> 00:02:35.780
 And there's a sense of fearfulness, angst in Paul's heart that this may be

00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:40.879
 something that would draw Christ's sheep away from him.

00:02:41.020 --> 00:02:45.699
 And so he writes very passionately to address and correct this.

00:02:45.699 --> 00:02:50.259
 Who's responsible for this false gospel?

00:02:51.839 --> 00:02:59.060
 Paul refers to them in the beginning of his letter as those who are throwing them into confusion

00:02:59.060 --> 00:03:02.079
 and trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.

00:03:02.739 --> 00:03:11.479
 In chapter 2, verse 15, he kind of refers to them a little bit there as those who are Jewish by birth.

00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:19.679
 And what is this false gospel that they are preaching, that they're teaching?

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:28.620
 It's that if you want to be saved, if you want to be right with God and receive his gift, his blessing,

00:03:29.140 --> 00:03:37.379
 you need Jesus plus you need to observe the law that came through Moses.

00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:39.659
 You need to be circumcised.

00:03:39.939 --> 00:03:43.319
 You need to observe the Jewish customs.

00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:47.979
 You need to observe special days and months and years.

00:03:50.939 --> 00:03:56.139
 It's Jesus plus law keeping or the works of the law.

00:03:56.239 --> 00:04:04.439
 And Paul is writing with all the passion that he has to help them see that this is off.

00:04:04.979 --> 00:04:06.060
 This is wrong.

00:04:06.419 --> 00:04:07.680
 This is dangerous.

00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.120
 We pick it up in chapter 3, verse 1.

00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:17.680
 You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you?

00:04:18.699 --> 00:04:25.079
 Before your very eyes, Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.

00:04:26.300 --> 00:04:28.960
 I would like to learn just one thing from you.

00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:37.039
 Did you receive the spirit by the works of the law or by believing what you heard?

00:04:38.039 --> 00:04:39.739
 Are you so foolish?

00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:46.659
 After beginning by means of the spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?

00:04:46.660 --> 00:04:50.360
 Have you experienced so much in vain?

00:04:51.140 --> 00:04:53.200
 If it really was in vain.

00:04:54.120 --> 00:05:06.800
 So again, I ask, does God give you his spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law or by your believing what you heard?

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:12.420
 Paul's first question kind of sets the tone.

00:05:13.100 --> 00:05:14.520
 Who has bewitched you?

00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:16.480
 Who has deceived you?

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:21.980
 Who's got into your head and convinced you of lies, of things that are off?

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:28.139
 Before your very eyes, Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.

00:05:28.139 --> 00:05:37.579
 When we came through the region of Galatia, we made known to you the gospel of Jesus Christ, the good news that he was crucified.

00:05:37.819 --> 00:05:40.599
 And I think this is not all that they proclaim.

00:05:40.699 --> 00:05:42.740
 This is just kind of short form for it.

00:05:42.779 --> 00:05:48.459
 That he was crucified for the forgiveness of your sins so that you could be made right with God.

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.419
 And receive the gift of eternal life by faith.

00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.079
 It's all implied there.

00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.680
 We made that clear right at the beginning.

00:06:00.259 --> 00:06:02.399
 Let me ask you a question, he says.

00:06:03.659 --> 00:06:06.500
 That cuts right to the heart of this whole matter.

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.699
 I want to learn just one thing from you.

00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:13.319
 Did you receive the spirit?

00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:15.079
 The spirit of God.

00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:18.279
 By works of the law.

00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:20.339
 By law keeping.

00:06:20.339 --> 00:06:27.939
 By picking up the book of the law and looking at what was written in there and starting to do it.

00:06:28.659 --> 00:06:32.859
 Is that how you received the spirit of God when we came?

00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:37.519
 Or did you receive it by believing what you heard?

00:06:38.659 --> 00:06:43.439
 By believing the news that Christ was crucified for you.

00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.759
 This is Paul's big point.

00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:48.160
 This is his big question.

00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.399
 So much so that he says it again.

00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.959
 Almost the same question down in verse 5.

00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:55.660
 So again I ask.

00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.839
 Does God give you his spirit and work miracles among you?

00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:03.279
 By the works of the law?

00:07:04.220 --> 00:07:06.740
 Or by your believing what you heard?

00:07:06.740 --> 00:07:10.500
 This time he pulls in another aspect.

00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:13.180
 Work miracles among you.

00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:19.819
 Those of you who have read the book of Acts know that as the gospel spread out from Jerusalem.

00:07:20.379 --> 00:07:28.660
 God confirmed that the word was true in many different places through miracles.

00:07:29.259 --> 00:07:30.460
 Through signs.

00:07:31.340 --> 00:07:33.980
 When the gospel went cross-cultural.

00:07:33.980 --> 00:07:36.120
 When it went to the Samaritans.

00:07:36.200 --> 00:07:38.660
 The Samaritans saw miracles.

00:07:39.780 --> 00:07:41.020
 And so they knew.

00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:45.319
 They had confirmation that what the apostles were saying was true.

00:07:46.460 --> 00:07:48.319
 You might remember when Cornelius.

00:07:48.640 --> 00:07:50.720
 A Gentile and his family.

00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.740
 Had that conversation with Peter.

00:07:55.180 --> 00:07:55.860
 Miracles.

00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:58.620
 They were confirmation.

00:07:58.939 --> 00:07:59.580
 That yes.

00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.740
 God is giving this gift.

00:08:02.420 --> 00:08:03.620
 Of salvation.

00:08:03.980 --> 00:08:05.240
 To the Gentiles.

00:08:07.060 --> 00:08:08.560
 Paul is pointing back to that.

00:08:08.660 --> 00:08:10.540
 When we rolled through Galatians.

00:08:10.620 --> 00:08:11.340
 When we came.

00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:13.759
 Through the region of Galatia.

00:08:14.540 --> 00:08:15.759
 You saw.

00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.060
 God worked miracles among you.

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.340
 By his spirit.

00:08:20.780 --> 00:08:22.480
 You received his spirit.

00:08:22.620 --> 00:08:24.500
 Then you witnessed those things.

00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:28.319
 Did that come about or happen?

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:29.600
 Because you decided.

00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:31.520
 We are going to keep the law.

00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.500
 We are going to do the things that the law.

00:08:35.939 --> 00:08:37.879
 That came through Moses requires.

00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:38.919
 Or did it happen.

00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.039
 Simply because you believed.

00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:42.379
 What you heard.

00:08:43.620 --> 00:08:45.799
 That Christ was crucified for you.

00:08:46.199 --> 00:08:47.100
 And of course.

00:08:47.340 --> 00:08:49.279
 Paul knows the answer to his question.

00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:50.299
 He is making the point.

00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:52.159
 He is not really asking the question.

00:08:52.539 --> 00:08:53.720
 He is making the point.

00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.779
 You received the spirit of God.

00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:58.600
 You were saved.

00:08:58.680 --> 00:09:00.279
 You were made right with God.

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:02.440
 By believing.

00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:05.700
 What Christ did for you.

00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:07.639
 Not by.

00:09:08.300 --> 00:09:10.259
 Doing something for God.

00:09:10.259 --> 00:09:11.259
 God.

00:09:11.259 --> 00:09:13.759
 And to help us.

00:09:14.379 --> 00:09:15.500
 See just how.

00:09:16.220 --> 00:09:17.620
 How true this is.

00:09:17.899 --> 00:09:18.759
 Paul goes back.

00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.080
 To the story of Abraham.

00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.639
 The story that we have been looking at.

00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:26.860
 And I think the reason why.

00:09:27.179 --> 00:09:27.439
 If I am.

00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:28.759
 If I am really hearing Paul.

00:09:28.899 --> 00:09:30.120
 Here in this passage.

00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:31.580
 There is a reason why.

00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:32.899
 He goes back to Abraham.

00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:36.319
 And I think that comes through.

00:09:36.439 --> 00:09:37.240
 In verse 7.

00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:38.199
 So we will skip 6.

00:09:38.299 --> 00:09:39.120
 We will come back to it.

00:09:39.179 --> 00:09:40.019
 But we will go to 7.

00:09:40.959 --> 00:09:41.740
 Paul says this.

00:09:41.819 --> 00:09:42.100
 He says.

00:09:42.379 --> 00:09:43.279
 Understand then.

00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:45.399
 That those who have faith.

00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:47.159
 Are children.

00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:48.379
 Of Abraham.

00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:51.139
 Are children of Abraham.

00:09:51.319 --> 00:09:51.779
 That is what.

00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:53.459
 This is really about.

00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:55.779
 Who are the children.

00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:56.919
 Of Abraham.

00:09:58.659 --> 00:10:00.220
 Literally the sons of Abraham.

00:10:00.419 --> 00:10:01.939
 Who are the sons of Abraham.

00:10:02.899 --> 00:10:04.699
 That is at the heart.

00:10:04.699 --> 00:10:05.439
 Of this issue.

00:10:05.439 --> 00:10:06.519
 With these people.

00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:07.459
 Who are teaching.

00:10:07.459 --> 00:10:08.579
 This false gospel.

00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:10.439
 We are Jewish by birth.

00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:12.199
 We are circumcised.

00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:14.500
 We are children.

00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:15.500
 Of Abraham.

00:10:15.899 --> 00:10:16.899
 And if you want.

00:10:16.980 --> 00:10:17.559
 To be children.

00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:18.199
 Of Abraham.

00:10:18.199 --> 00:10:18.879
 If you want.

00:10:18.980 --> 00:10:19.539
 To inherit.

00:10:19.539 --> 00:10:20.740
 The blessing of God.

00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:22.299
 And what God has promised.

00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:25.079
 You need Jesus.

00:10:25.459 --> 00:10:25.980
 Plus.

00:10:26.340 --> 00:10:28.100
 You need these other things too.

00:10:28.220 --> 00:10:29.439
 You need to keep the law.

00:10:30.059 --> 00:10:31.679
 You need to be circumcised.

00:10:32.899 --> 00:10:33.899
 You need to be circumcised.

00:10:33.899 --> 00:10:36.120
 Who are the children.

00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:37.100
 Of Abraham.

00:10:37.819 --> 00:10:39.120
 You might remember.

00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:40.500
 That on a couple occasions.

00:10:41.819 --> 00:10:43.139
 John the Baptist.

00:10:43.139 --> 00:10:44.159
 And Jesus.

00:10:45.179 --> 00:10:46.439
 Came up against.

00:10:46.779 --> 00:10:47.519
 This idea.

00:10:47.620 --> 00:10:48.399
 This attitude.

00:10:49.740 --> 00:10:51.360
 It was stated this way.

00:10:51.439 --> 00:10:52.659
 We have Abraham.

00:10:52.659 --> 00:10:54.419
 As our father.

00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:57.799
 Many of the Jewish people.

00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:59.279
 Took great pride in this.

00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.899
 Who are you.

00:11:02.100 --> 00:11:02.659
 To tell us.

00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:03.819
 That we need to repent.

00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:04.199
 That.

00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:05.600
 That we need to turn.

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:06.339
 From our sins.

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:06.579
 And.

00:11:06.959 --> 00:11:08.019
 God has a problem.

00:11:08.019 --> 00:11:08.480
 With us.

00:11:08.539 --> 00:11:09.620
 We have Abraham.

00:11:09.620 --> 00:11:10.439
 As our father.

00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:11.279
 We have.

00:11:11.620 --> 00:11:12.439
 The promises.

00:11:12.899 --> 00:11:13.679
 Of blessing.

00:11:15.740 --> 00:11:16.480
 And Jesus.

00:11:16.779 --> 00:11:17.959
 Pushed back on that.

00:11:18.419 --> 00:11:19.039
 John the Baptist.

00:11:19.299 --> 00:11:20.279
 Pushed back on that.

00:11:20.339 --> 00:11:21.399
 And challenged that.

00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:23.259
 Whether or not.

00:11:23.379 --> 00:11:23.839
 They were.

00:11:24.459 --> 00:11:24.759
 True.

00:11:25.220 --> 00:11:26.039
 Sons of Abraham.

00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:26.199
 Abraham.

00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:28.379
 And so.

00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:29.099
 Paul is going.

00:11:29.219 --> 00:11:30.120
 Back to Abraham.

00:11:30.439 --> 00:11:31.919
 To make it crystal clear.

00:11:33.199 --> 00:11:34.439
 Who are the children.

00:11:34.439 --> 00:11:35.159
 Of Abraham.

00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:36.980
 Verse six.

00:11:37.819 --> 00:11:38.599
 So also.

00:11:39.059 --> 00:11:39.620
 Abraham.

00:11:40.059 --> 00:11:40.659
 And he quotes.

00:11:40.779 --> 00:11:41.559
 Genesis 15.

00:11:41.659 --> 00:11:41.919
 Six.

00:11:41.959 --> 00:11:42.539
 Which we've said.

00:11:42.599 --> 00:11:43.139
 Many times.

00:11:43.139 --> 00:11:43.659
 In the past.

00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:44.360
 Number of weeks.

00:11:45.019 --> 00:11:45.799
 So also.

00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:46.360
 Abraham.

00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:47.719
 Believed God.

00:11:48.379 --> 00:11:49.599
 And it was credited.

00:11:49.599 --> 00:11:50.259
 To him.

00:11:50.740 --> 00:11:51.579
 As righteousness.

00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:53.339
 Abraham.

00:11:53.839 --> 00:11:54.199
 Lacked.

00:11:54.599 --> 00:11:55.399
 A right standing.

00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:55.860
 With God.

00:11:55.860 --> 00:11:56.659
 He was a sinner.

00:11:57.180 --> 00:11:58.500
 Just like all of us.

00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:00.100
 And God credited.

00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:01.379
 A right standing.

00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:03.440
 To Abraham.

00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:05.180
 A right standing.

00:12:05.180 --> 00:12:05.820
 With himself.

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:06.680
 To Abraham.

00:12:07.820 --> 00:12:08.759
 On account.

00:12:08.899 --> 00:12:09.399
 Of his.

00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:10.080
 Believing.

00:12:10.899 --> 00:12:11.580
 The promises.

00:12:11.580 --> 00:12:12.580
 That God.

00:12:12.700 --> 00:12:13.100
 Had made.

00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:16.120
 When he says.

00:12:16.379 --> 00:12:16.840
 So also.

00:12:17.019 --> 00:12:17.960
 Or just as.

00:12:18.340 --> 00:12:18.899
 The point.

00:12:19.019 --> 00:12:19.580
 That he's making.

00:12:19.779 --> 00:12:19.860
 Is.

00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:20.920
 Is simply this.

00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:22.120
 Abraham.

00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:23.320
 Got a right standing.

00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:23.980
 With God.

00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:24.480
 God.

00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:25.480
 On account.

00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:26.379
 Of his faith.

00:12:27.019 --> 00:12:28.240
 In what he heard.

00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:29.039
 From God.

00:12:29.620 --> 00:12:30.480
 And it works.

00:12:30.580 --> 00:12:31.700
 The exact same way.

00:12:32.740 --> 00:12:33.920
 For all of us.

00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:34.500
 Today.

00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:37.620
 We get a right standing.

00:12:37.620 --> 00:12:38.139
 With God.

00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:38.659
 Not by.

00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:39.620
 Doing works.

00:12:39.620 --> 00:12:40.220
 Of the law.

00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:41.659
 But by believing.

00:12:42.220 --> 00:12:43.399
 What we have heard.

00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:45.440
 The good news.

00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:46.200
 The gospel.

00:12:46.680 --> 00:12:47.639
 Of Jesus Christ.

00:12:47.779 --> 00:12:48.259
 Abraham.

00:12:48.259 --> 00:12:49.419
 Didn't even have.

00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:50.299
 Opportunity.

00:12:50.299 --> 00:12:51.220
 To do the works.

00:12:51.220 --> 00:12:51.799
 Of the law.

00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:53.019
 The law.

00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:53.600
 Hadn't even.

00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:54.379
 Come yet.

00:12:55.580 --> 00:12:56.559
 Before God.

00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:57.100
 Gave him.

00:12:57.299 --> 00:12:57.659
 Anything.

00:12:58.200 --> 00:12:58.620
 To do.

00:12:58.779 --> 00:12:59.899
 Or commands.

00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:00.840
 Or requirements.

00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:02.720
 God.

00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.419
 Made a covenant.

00:13:03.419 --> 00:13:03.960
 With him.

00:13:04.980 --> 00:13:05.899
 He gave him.

00:13:06.059 --> 00:13:06.580
 Promises.

00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:07.720
 Abraham.

00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:08.399
 Believed.

00:13:08.580 --> 00:13:09.000
 That God.

00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:09.559
 Would do.

00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:11.220
 What he said.

00:13:11.259 --> 00:13:11.819
 He would do.

00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:12.980
 And it was.

00:13:13.100 --> 00:13:13.639
 On the basis.

00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:14.620
 Of that faith.

00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:15.879
 That God.

00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:17.159
 Gave him.

00:13:17.439 --> 00:13:18.240
 A right standing.

00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:18.939
 With himself.

00:13:19.299 --> 00:13:19.980
 And treated him.

00:13:20.179 --> 00:13:20.779
 As righteous.

00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:23.320
 It's the same.

00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:24.740
 For us.

00:13:25.820 --> 00:13:26.620
 Is the point.

00:13:26.700 --> 00:13:27.539
 That Paul is making.

00:13:29.059 --> 00:13:30.100
 The children.

00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:31.139
 Of Abraham.

00:13:31.419 --> 00:13:32.159
 Verse seven.

00:13:32.439 --> 00:13:33.279
 Are those.

00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:34.539
 Who have faith.

00:13:36.139 --> 00:13:37.019
 They're those.

00:13:37.100 --> 00:13:37.639
 Who believe.

00:13:39.620 --> 00:13:40.299
 Understand.

00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:40.620
 Then.

00:13:40.700 --> 00:13:40.860
 That.

00:13:41.059 --> 00:13:42.279
 Those who have faith.

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:43.659
 Are sons.

00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:44.860
 Of Abraham.

00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.340
 What about.

00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:48.860
 The whole.

00:13:49.379 --> 00:13:49.939
 Jew versus.

00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:50.539
 Gentile.

00:13:50.659 --> 00:13:50.899
 Thing.

00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:51.539
 Though.

00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:53.080
 How does that.

00:13:53.220 --> 00:13:54.059
 Factor into it.

00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:54.279
 I mean.

00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:54.960
 It must factor.

00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:55.480
 Into it.

00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:55.840
 Somehow.

00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:57.840
 Paul goes on.

00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:58.639
 To address this.

00:13:58.659 --> 00:13:59.299
 In verse eight.

00:13:59.360 --> 00:13:59.740
 He says.

00:14:00.100 --> 00:14:00.740
 Scripture.

00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:01.559
 Forsaw.

00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:02.740
 That God.

00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:03.659
 Would justify.

00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:04.860
 The Gentiles.

00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:06.179
 By faith.

00:14:06.980 --> 00:14:07.600
 And announce.

00:14:07.740 --> 00:14:08.259
 The gospel.

00:14:08.419 --> 00:14:08.820
 In advance.

00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:09.559
 To Abraham.

00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:11.559
 All nations.

00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:12.259
 Will be blessed.

00:14:12.379 --> 00:14:12.840
 Through you.

00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:15.160
 So those.

00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:15.920
 Who rely.

00:14:15.920 --> 00:14:16.680
 On faith.

00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:18.160
 Are blessed.

00:14:18.300 --> 00:14:18.980
 Along with.

00:14:19.160 --> 00:14:19.639
 Abraham.

00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:20.519
 The man.

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:21.019
 Of faith.

00:14:21.940 --> 00:14:22.420
 Scripture.

00:14:22.560 --> 00:14:23.040
 Forsaw.

00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:24.120
 Says Paul.

00:14:24.560 --> 00:14:25.040
 He kind of.

00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:25.759
 Personifies.

00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:26.320
 Scripture.

00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:26.660
 There.

00:14:28.259 --> 00:14:29.300
 What God.

00:14:29.300 --> 00:14:29.820
 Said.

00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:30.860
 Long ago.

00:14:30.860 --> 00:14:31.580
 To Abraham.

00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:32.840
 Looks ahead.

00:14:33.019 --> 00:14:33.660
 To something.

00:14:33.800 --> 00:14:34.700
 That he had planned.

00:14:34.800 --> 00:14:35.240
 And intended.

00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:35.680
 To do.

00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:36.360
 All along.

00:14:36.660 --> 00:14:37.620
 And what was that?

00:14:38.540 --> 00:14:39.240
 That God.

00:14:39.300 --> 00:14:39.600
 Would.

00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:40.720
 Justify.

00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:41.740
 The Gentiles.

00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:42.820
 By faith.

00:14:43.680 --> 00:14:44.600
 The word.

00:14:44.680 --> 00:14:45.220
 Gentiles.

00:14:45.220 --> 00:14:45.840
 Is literally.

00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:46.360
 The word.

00:14:46.500 --> 00:14:47.100
 Nations.

00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:48.620
 In Greek.

00:14:48.980 --> 00:14:49.940
 That God.

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:50.180
 Would.

00:14:50.300 --> 00:14:50.899
 Justify.

00:14:50.899 --> 00:14:51.820
 The nations.

00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:53.240
 By faith.

00:14:53.980 --> 00:14:55.220
 This was God's.

00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:55.700
 Plan.

00:14:55.820 --> 00:14:56.379
 All along.

00:14:56.460 --> 00:14:57.360
 And what he said.

00:14:57.820 --> 00:14:58.340
 Pointed.

00:14:58.580 --> 00:14:59.300
 To that.

00:14:59.700 --> 00:15:00.000
 Future.

00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:00.639
 Reality.

00:15:01.460 --> 00:15:02.460
 When he said.

00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:03.060
 To Abraham.

00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:04.080
 All nations.

00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:06.139
 Will be blessed.

00:15:06.420 --> 00:15:07.200
 Through you.

00:15:08.580 --> 00:15:09.899
 All the families.

00:15:09.899 --> 00:15:10.560
 Of the earth.

00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:11.759
 Will be blessed.

00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:12.240
 Through you.

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:13.200
 You will be the father.

00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:14.100
 Of a multitude.

00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:15.080
 Of nations.

00:15:15.700 --> 00:15:16.620
 What was that.

00:15:16.700 --> 00:15:17.279
 Pointing to?

00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:18.220
 Paul tells us.

00:15:18.500 --> 00:15:18.899
 By the.

00:15:19.060 --> 00:15:20.360
 By the Holy Spirit.

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:21.480
 Under his inspiration.

00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:22.540
 That that was pointing.

00:15:22.540 --> 00:15:24.200
 To the future reality.

00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:25.060
 That one day.

00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:26.080
 People from.

00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:27.560
 Among the nations.

00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:29.320
 Would be blessed.

00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:30.060
 Would receive.

00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:30.320
 The.

00:15:30.420 --> 00:15:31.820
 The favor of God.

00:15:33.139 --> 00:15:34.080
 Would receive.

00:15:34.139 --> 00:15:35.100
 A right standing.

00:15:35.100 --> 00:15:35.879
 With God.

00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:37.560
 In the same way.

00:15:37.660 --> 00:15:38.580
 That Abraham did.

00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:40.420
 By faith.

00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:42.680
 By believing.

00:15:42.680 --> 00:15:43.940
 What they would hear.

00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:46.080
 The good news.

00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:47.840
 Of Jesus Christ.

00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:50.180
 So those.

00:15:50.300 --> 00:15:50.740
 Who rely.

00:15:50.740 --> 00:15:51.540
 On faith.

00:15:51.700 --> 00:15:52.440
 Are blessed.

00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:52.899
 Along.

00:15:53.139 --> 00:15:53.980
 With Abraham.

00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:56.379
 The man of faith.

00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:58.940
 God intended.

00:15:59.100 --> 00:15:59.540
 All along.

00:16:00.040 --> 00:16:00.759
 To show favor.

00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:02.060
 To the nations.

00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:03.879
 And his point.

00:16:03.940 --> 00:16:04.920
 Here is simply this.

00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:07.139
 If you have faith.

00:16:07.139 --> 00:16:07.620
 In.

00:16:08.059 --> 00:16:08.860
 And it's implied.

00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:09.679
 That this faith.

00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:10.500
 Is in the gospel.

00:16:10.500 --> 00:16:11.339
 Of Jesus Christ.

00:16:11.339 --> 00:16:12.240
 That's the context.

00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:13.279
 Of all that he's saying.

00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:13.879
 In this letter.

00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:15.139
 It's not just faith.

00:16:15.139 --> 00:16:15.740
 In anything.

00:16:16.319 --> 00:16:17.679
 If you have faith.

00:16:18.259 --> 00:16:19.699
 In the son of God.

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:21.839
 Jesus Christ.

00:16:21.839 --> 00:16:22.860
 And what he has done.

00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:23.379
 For you.

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:25.240
 Then you.

00:16:25.419 --> 00:16:26.019
 Are.

00:16:26.599 --> 00:16:27.699
 A son of Abraham.

00:16:27.700 --> 00:16:29.840
 You are.

00:16:30.160 --> 00:16:31.420
 One of his children.

00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:34.920
 You will be blessed.

00:16:34.920 --> 00:16:36.240
 Along with Abraham.

00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:37.660
 The man of faith.

00:16:37.800 --> 00:16:38.320
 Verse nine.

00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:43.820
 In verse 10.

00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:44.780
 Paul goes on.

00:16:45.780 --> 00:16:47.280
 To make the point clear.

00:16:47.280 --> 00:16:48.379
 From a different angle.

00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:51.540
 What about that way.

00:16:51.540 --> 00:16:52.360
 Of the law.

00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:54.800
 And the works of the law.

00:16:54.900 --> 00:16:55.820
 What about that?

00:16:55.820 --> 00:16:57.120
 He says.

00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:58.420
 For all who rely.

00:16:58.680 --> 00:17:00.180
 On the works of the law.

00:17:00.680 --> 00:17:02.100
 Are under a curse.

00:17:03.420 --> 00:17:04.420
 As it is written.

00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:06.720
 Cursed is everyone.

00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:08.059
 Who does not continue.

00:17:08.059 --> 00:17:09.360
 To do everything.

00:17:10.059 --> 00:17:10.460
 Written.

00:17:11.320 --> 00:17:12.580
 In the book of the law.

00:17:12.900 --> 00:17:13.259
 Clearly.

00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:15.460
 No one who relies on the law.

00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:16.920
 Is justified.

00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:17.920
 Before God.

00:17:19.360 --> 00:17:20.660
 What is he saying there?

00:17:21.500 --> 00:17:22.160
 He's saying.

00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:22.460
 If you.

00:17:22.600 --> 00:17:23.380
 If you want to.

00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:24.779
 Talk about the law.

00:17:25.019 --> 00:17:25.799
 The way of the law.

00:17:25.819 --> 00:17:27.599
 You want to look at the law.

00:17:28.159 --> 00:17:29.500
 You want to look to that.

00:17:29.659 --> 00:17:30.839
 To find a right standing.

00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:31.480
 With God.

00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:31.779
 And.

00:17:32.179 --> 00:17:33.019
 And obeying that.

00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:34.259
 And keeping the commands.

00:17:35.639 --> 00:17:36.559
 This is how.

00:17:36.879 --> 00:17:38.000
 That path.

00:17:38.500 --> 00:17:39.720
 Works itself out.

00:17:40.779 --> 00:17:41.359
 He says.

00:17:41.879 --> 00:17:42.619
 Those who.

00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:42.859
 Who.

00:17:42.980 --> 00:17:44.200
 Who look to that path.

00:17:44.859 --> 00:17:46.259
 And walk that path.

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:47.879
 Or try to walk that path.

00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:49.119
 They're under a curse.

00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:51.799
 They're under a curse.

00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:54.240
 What do you mean Paul?

00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:55.899
 He quotes.

00:17:55.899 --> 00:17:57.220
 From the law itself.

00:17:58.359 --> 00:17:59.440
 Cursed is everyone.

00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:00.740
 Who does not continue.

00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:01.940
 To do everything.

00:18:02.419 --> 00:18:02.819
 Written.

00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:04.299
 In the book of the law.

00:18:05.619 --> 00:18:06.919
 When the law was given.

00:18:07.139 --> 00:18:07.740
 It was given.

00:18:08.579 --> 00:18:09.119
 Like a.

00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:09.799
 A covenant.

00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:13.019
 The Lord had half of the people of Israel.

00:18:13.019 --> 00:18:14.220
 Stand on one hill.

00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:16.680
 And half stand on another hill.

00:18:16.980 --> 00:18:17.700
 One half of them.

00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:19.200
 Proclaimed the blessings.

00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:21.159
 Blessings that they would receive.

00:18:21.159 --> 00:18:22.220
 If they obeyed.

00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:22.940
 The law.

00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:24.980
 The other half.

00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:25.980
 Proclaimed.

00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:26.980
 The curses.

00:18:27.899 --> 00:18:28.919
 The curses.

00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:29.839
 The judgment.

00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:30.539
 The punishment.

00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:31.899
 That they would receive.

00:18:31.899 --> 00:18:32.759
 From God.

00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:33.839
 If they.

00:18:34.339 --> 00:18:35.319
 Disobeyed the law.

00:18:35.500 --> 00:18:36.539
 And broke the law.

00:18:36.539 --> 00:18:39.420
 That's how it was set up.

00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:41.680
 And the very last curse.

00:18:42.379 --> 00:18:44.480
 That's listed in this list of curses.

00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:45.339
 That they recited.

00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:47.079
 Is what Paul quotes here.

00:18:47.659 --> 00:18:48.019
 Cursed.

00:18:48.299 --> 00:18:49.399
 Is everyone.

00:18:49.879 --> 00:18:51.599
 Who does not continue.

00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:53.139
 To do everything.

00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:54.359
 Written.

00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:55.779
 In the book.

00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:57.240
 Of the law.

00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:01.139
 They spoke those words aloud.

00:19:01.740 --> 00:19:03.619
 They entered into this covenant.

00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:05.559
 With the Lord.

00:19:06.539 --> 00:19:09.359
 What does Paul say.

00:19:09.420 --> 00:19:10.079
 In verse 11.

00:19:10.740 --> 00:19:11.659
 The conclusion.

00:19:11.659 --> 00:19:12.259
 Of all this.

00:19:12.420 --> 00:19:12.839
 Clearly.

00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:13.940
 No one.

00:19:14.139 --> 00:19:15.539
 Who relies on the law.

00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:16.720
 Is justified.

00:19:17.159 --> 00:19:18.059
 Before God.

00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:19.059
 Is made right.

00:19:19.139 --> 00:19:19.579
 With God.

00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:20.879
 How can they be.

00:19:20.940 --> 00:19:21.940
 Because no one.

00:19:22.159 --> 00:19:23.079
 Has been able.

00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:24.440
 To live.

00:19:24.740 --> 00:19:25.779
 According to the law.

00:19:25.899 --> 00:19:26.519
 Well enough.

00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:29.480
 To keep everything.

00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:30.700
 Written in the law.

00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:32.119
 We've failed.

00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:34.279
 That way.

00:19:34.399 --> 00:19:35.639
 Doesn't lead to life.

00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:36.300
 It leads.

00:19:36.520 --> 00:19:37.380
 To death.

00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:38.680
 Judgment.

00:19:39.620 --> 00:19:40.100
 Punishment.

00:19:41.100 --> 00:19:42.400
 And it's deserved.

00:19:44.100 --> 00:19:45.380
 Because we have broken.

00:19:45.560 --> 00:19:46.360
 God's law.

00:19:49.360 --> 00:19:49.920
 No.

00:19:50.080 --> 00:19:51.140
 That's not the way.

00:19:52.600 --> 00:19:53.660
 That's not the way.

00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:54.600
 To a right standing.

00:19:54.600 --> 00:19:55.220
 With God.

00:19:55.220 --> 00:19:55.259
 God.

00:19:57.360 --> 00:19:58.480
 What is the way.

00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:00.140
 Verse 11.

00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:01.279
 Because.

00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:02.759
 The righteous.

00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:04.299
 Will live by faith.

00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:08.420
 This was an interesting one.

00:20:08.500 --> 00:20:09.640
 As I was looking at it this week.

00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:11.100
 Because it didn't exactly mean.

00:20:11.180 --> 00:20:12.019
 What I thought it did.

00:20:12.420 --> 00:20:12.860
 This is.

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.160
 This comes from the book of.

00:20:14.620 --> 00:20:15.100
 Habakkuk.

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:16.380
 Habakkuk was a prophet.

00:20:16.380 --> 00:20:16.580
 It.

00:20:17.360 --> 00:20:17.800
 And.

00:20:18.120 --> 00:20:18.980
 He declared.

00:20:18.980 --> 00:20:20.060
 To the people of Israel.

00:20:20.060 --> 00:20:21.060
 That God's judgment.

00:20:21.060 --> 00:20:22.620
 Was coming upon Israel.

00:20:22.620 --> 00:20:23.880
 For their disobedience.

00:20:24.080 --> 00:20:25.200
 And their wickedness.

00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:27.520
 And even as he did.

00:20:27.580 --> 00:20:28.260
 He declared.

00:20:28.260 --> 00:20:29.300
 That the Babylonians.

00:20:29.300 --> 00:20:29.960
 Were going to come.

00:20:30.120 --> 00:20:30.860
 And conquer them.

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:31.720
 And take them away.

00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:32.500
 Into captivity.

00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:35.140
 Even as he declared that.

00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:37.260
 He protested it.

00:20:37.420 --> 00:20:37.760
 Lord.

00:20:37.840 --> 00:20:38.440
 How will you.

00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:39.500
 Allow them.

00:20:39.500 --> 00:20:41.339
 To do such treacherous things.

00:20:41.339 --> 00:20:42.099
 To your people.

00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:44.660
 God goes on.

00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:45.940
 In that book.

00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:46.480
 To say.

00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:48.420
 I'm not going to let them.

00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:49.119
 Get away with.

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:50.099
 The evil things.

00:20:50.099 --> 00:20:50.500
 That they.

00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:51.500
 They've done either.

00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:53.099
 They too.

00:20:53.220 --> 00:20:54.039
 Are going to face.

00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:54.940
 Justice.

00:20:55.099 --> 00:20:55.640
 But in the.

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:56.240
 In the.

00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:57.180
 Larger picture.

00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:58.660
 Of the Babylonians.

00:20:58.779 --> 00:20:59.440
 Coming and.

00:20:59.980 --> 00:21:00.440
 Executing.

00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:01.279
 My judgment.

00:21:01.579 --> 00:21:02.940
 Upon the people of Israel.

00:21:05.940 --> 00:21:06.960
 The righteous.

00:21:07.339 --> 00:21:08.119
 Will live.

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:10.220
 By faith.

00:21:11.740 --> 00:21:12.420
 And I think.

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:13.200
 The sense there.

00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:14.200
 Is very much.

00:21:14.299 --> 00:21:14.799
 The righteous.

00:21:15.019 --> 00:21:15.259
 Will.

00:21:15.740 --> 00:21:15.980
 Be.

00:21:16.420 --> 00:21:16.799
 Spared.

00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:18.380
 They will have.

00:21:18.539 --> 00:21:18.900
 Life.

00:21:20.500 --> 00:21:21.480
 Not because of.

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:22.880
 They have lived.

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:23.440
 Good enough.

00:21:23.579 --> 00:21:24.180
 But on account.

00:21:24.259 --> 00:21:25.019
 Of their faith.

00:21:25.140 --> 00:21:25.559
 In me.

00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:26.680
 Their real faith.

00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:27.660
 In me.

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:33.380
 The righteous.

00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:34.079
 Will live.

00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:35.700
 On account.

00:21:35.779 --> 00:21:36.460
 Of their faith.

00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:37.579
 Not because.

00:21:37.700 --> 00:21:38.359
 They're actually.

00:21:38.539 --> 00:21:38.940
 Righteous.

00:21:38.940 --> 00:21:39.420
 Not because.

00:21:39.420 --> 00:21:39.960
 They've lived.

00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:40.660
 Good enough.

00:21:42.660 --> 00:21:43.440
 But because.

00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:44.299
 That's the way.

00:21:44.299 --> 00:21:44.779
 That God.

00:21:44.840 --> 00:21:45.400
 Has chosen.

00:21:45.779 --> 00:21:46.140
 To.

00:21:46.660 --> 00:21:46.860
 Give.

00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:47.700
 Righteousness.

00:21:49.100 --> 00:21:49.920
 To some.

00:21:52.860 --> 00:21:53.680
 Paul says.

00:21:53.779 --> 00:21:54.259
 The law.

00:21:54.539 --> 00:21:55.080
 Verse 12.

00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:56.019
 Is not based.

00:21:56.019 --> 00:21:56.740
 On faith.

00:21:57.140 --> 00:21:58.360
 On the contrary.

00:21:58.539 --> 00:21:58.960
 It says.

00:21:59.120 --> 00:21:59.840
 The person.

00:21:59.960 --> 00:22:00.340
 Who does.

00:22:00.420 --> 00:22:01.019
 These things.

00:22:01.259 --> 00:22:01.920
 Will live.

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:02.440
 By them.

00:22:03.140 --> 00:22:03.559
 The law.

00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:04.180
 Is not based.

00:22:04.180 --> 00:22:04.840
 On faith.

00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:05.559
 There's.

00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:05.839
 There's.

00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:06.759
 There's.

00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:07.319
 Probably.

00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:07.859
 The best way.

00:22:07.859 --> 00:22:07.939
 To think.

00:22:07.939 --> 00:22:08.179
 To think.

00:22:08.179 --> 00:22:08.480
 Of this.

00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:09.000
 Is in terms.

00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:09.599
 Of covenant.

00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:10.899
 There's.

00:22:10.899 --> 00:22:11.079
 There's.

00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:11.779
 Two different.

00:22:11.779 --> 00:22:12.359
 Covenants.

00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:12.639
 Here.

00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:15.319
 The covenant.

00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:15.939
 That God.

00:22:15.939 --> 00:22:16.339
 Gave.

00:22:16.339 --> 00:22:17.079
 Through Moses.

00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:17.679
 This was.

00:22:17.679 --> 00:22:18.159
 Kind of.

00:22:18.159 --> 00:22:18.399
 A.

00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:19.180
 God.

00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:19.700
 Will treat.

00:22:19.700 --> 00:22:19.960
 You.

00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:20.640
 This way.

00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:21.940
 If you.

00:22:21.940 --> 00:22:22.340
 Obey.

00:22:22.600 --> 00:22:22.840
 Him.

00:22:23.860 --> 00:22:24.200
 God.

00:22:24.259 --> 00:22:24.420
 Will.

00:22:24.540 --> 00:22:24.740
 Treat.

00:22:24.740 --> 00:22:25.000
 You.

00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:25.960
 This way.

00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:26.500
 If you.

00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:27.040
 Disobey.

00:22:27.140 --> 00:22:27.280
 Him.

00:22:27.320 --> 00:22:27.500
 It was.

00:22:27.500 --> 00:22:27.880
 Kind of.

00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:28.840
 A contractual.

00:22:28.840 --> 00:22:29.340
 Kind of.

00:22:29.340 --> 00:22:29.740
 Covenant.

00:22:31.120 --> 00:22:31.680
 Not.

00:22:31.840 --> 00:22:32.100
 Based.

00:22:32.100 --> 00:22:32.420
 On.

00:22:32.900 --> 00:22:33.300
 Faith.

00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:33.800
 But.

00:22:33.900 --> 00:22:34.140
 Based.

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:34.519
 On.

00:22:35.120 --> 00:22:35.560
 Deeds.

00:22:35.800 --> 00:22:36.040
 Based.

00:22:36.120 --> 00:22:36.259
 On.

00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:36.880
 Works.

00:22:37.620 --> 00:22:37.960
 That's.

00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:38.340
 The kind.

00:22:38.340 --> 00:22:38.480
 Of.

00:22:38.860 --> 00:22:39.160
 Covenant.

00:22:39.340 --> 00:22:39.460
 That.

00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:39.980
 It was.

00:22:40.940 --> 00:22:41.340
 Whoever.

00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:42.680
 Does.

00:22:42.800 --> 00:22:43.000
 These.

00:22:43.080 --> 00:22:43.480
 Things.

00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:44.280
 Will.

00:22:44.340 --> 00:22:44.519
 Have.

00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:44.960

00:22:46.600 --> 00:22:46.800
 Them.

00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:48.659
 And.

00:22:48.779 --> 00:22:49.139
 The message.

00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:49.539

 Because.

 There's.

00:28:41.159 --> 00:28:41.719
 Receiving.

00:28:42.019 --> 00:28:42.319

00:28:42.539 --> 00:28:42.859
 Law.

00:28:43.299 --> 00:28:43.579
 Said.

00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:44.019
 That.

00:28:44.099 --> 00:28:44.279
 Those.

 Deserve.

00:28:49.019 --> 00:28:49.579
 He.

00:28:50.419 --> 00:28:50.939
 Was.

00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:51.319
 Hung.

00:28:51.419 --> 00:28:51.599
 On.

00:28:51.619 --> 00:28:51.779
 A.

00:28:51.779 --> 00:28:52.099
 Tree.

00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:55.579
 And.

00:28:55.679 --> 00:28:55.739
 It's.

00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:55.859
 A.

00:28:55.939 --> 00:28:56.299
 Profound.

00:28:56.439 --> 00:28:56.879
 Mystery.

00:29:00.399 --> 00:29:00.959
 Some.

00:29:01.019 --> 00:29:01.239
 People.

00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:01.559
 Saw.

00:29:01.639 --> 00:29:01.779
 Him.

00:29:01.859 --> 00:29:01.959
 On.

00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:02.179
 That.

00:29:02.239 --> 00:29:02.519
 Tree.

00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:03.599
 And.

00:29:03.659 --> 00:29:03.739
 The.

00:29:03.819 --> 00:29:04.199
 Conclusion.

00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:04.439
 They.

00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:04.739
 Came.

00:29:04.819 --> 00:29:04.959
 To.

00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:05.219
 Was.

00:29:05.439 --> 00:29:05.719
 The.

00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:06.000
 Wrong.

00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:06.359
 One.

00:29:07.239 --> 00:29:07.759
 He's.

00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:07.979
 Not.

00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:08.219
 The.

00:29:08.259 --> 00:29:08.659
 Messiah.

00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:10.119
 Because.

00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:10.679
 If he was.

00:29:10.739 --> 00:29:11.079
 He wouldn't.

00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:11.739
 Be up there.

00:29:12.159 --> 00:29:13.219
 That's a symbol.

00:29:13.339 --> 00:29:13.859
 That he's.

00:29:13.979 --> 00:29:14.679
 That he is.

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:15.659
 Cursed.

00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:17.879
 That he has fallen under the curse of God.

00:29:19.139 --> 00:29:20.659
 That he's broke the law.

00:29:20.660 --> 00:29:23.460
 Even.

00:29:23.460 --> 00:29:23.700
 That.

00:29:23.700 --> 00:29:23.720
 That.

00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:23.740
 That.

00:29:23.740 --> 00:29:24.600
 That very attitude.

00:29:25.120 --> 00:29:25.660
 Was.

00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:26.100
 Spoken.

00:29:26.180 --> 00:29:26.400
 About.

00:29:26.600 --> 00:29:26.759
 Long.

00:29:26.820 --> 00:29:27.100
 Ago.

00:29:27.340 --> 00:29:27.840
 By.

00:29:27.900 --> 00:29:27.980
 The.

00:29:28.019 --> 00:29:28.279
 Prophet.

00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:28.759
 Isaiah.

00:29:30.040 --> 00:29:30.640
 We.

00:29:30.740 --> 00:29:31.600
 Considered him.

00:29:31.820 --> 00:29:32.259
 Punished.

00:29:32.340 --> 00:29:32.540
 By.

00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:33.000
 God.

00:29:33.700 --> 00:29:34.220
 Stricken.

00:29:34.500 --> 00:29:34.840
 By.

00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:35.160
 Him.

00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:35.779
 And.

00:29:35.820 --> 00:29:36.540
 Afflicted.

00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:38.540
 But.

00:29:39.900 --> 00:29:40.620
 He.

00:29:40.820 --> 00:29:41.140
 Was.

00:29:41.300 --> 00:29:41.759
 Pierced.

00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:42.400
 For.

00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:42.820
 Our.

00:29:43.340 --> 00:29:43.900
 Transgressions.

00:29:44.980 --> 00:29:45.620
 He.

00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:45.840
 Was.

00:29:45.900 --> 00:29:46.180
 Crushed.

00:29:46.259 --> 00:29:46.380
 For.

00:29:46.540 --> 00:29:46.980
 Our.

00:29:47.360 --> 00:29:47.940
 Iniquities.

00:29:47.940 --> 00:29:53.299
 The punishment that brought us peace was upon him.

00:29:54.340 --> 00:29:55.220
 And by.

00:29:55.620 --> 00:29:56.380
 His wounds.

00:29:57.080 --> 00:29:57.480
 We.

00:29:58.320 --> 00:29:58.840
 Are.

00:29:58.980 --> 00:29:59.340
 Healed.

00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:02.840
 Christ.

00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:03.600
 Became.

00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:04.440
 A curse.

00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:05.120
 He bore.

00:30:05.620 --> 00:30:06.200
 The curse.

00:30:07.100 --> 00:30:09.759
 He satisfied the demands of the law.

00:30:11.700 --> 00:30:12.759
 For us.

00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:13.539
 On our.

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:14.460
 Behalf.

00:30:14.740 --> 00:30:16.279
 So that we could go free.

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:18.819
 So that we could be.

00:30:20.019 --> 00:30:20.619
 Redeemed.

00:30:21.299 --> 00:30:22.740
 From that obligation.

00:30:23.460 --> 00:30:24.519
 To the law.

00:30:24.819 --> 00:30:25.440
 Of God.

00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:29.339
 The good news is this.

00:30:30.500 --> 00:30:32.160
 We don't have to.

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:35.139
 Do the works of the law.

00:30:35.619 --> 00:30:37.319
 To get a right standing with God.

00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:38.980
 Christ has already done.

00:30:39.460 --> 00:30:41.119
 What the law requires.

00:30:43.379 --> 00:30:44.940
 Christ has already done it.

00:30:44.940 --> 00:30:45.200
 He.

00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:46.320
 He bore the curse.

00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:47.980
 The judgment of God.

00:30:48.100 --> 00:30:49.200
 On our behalf.

00:30:49.320 --> 00:30:50.420
 And Paul's point here.

00:30:50.580 --> 00:30:52.940
 Is that we get a right standing with God.

00:30:53.220 --> 00:30:55.660
 On the basis of what Christ has done.

00:30:57.519 --> 00:30:58.759
 And it's a gift.

00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:02.000
 By believing.

00:31:02.320 --> 00:31:03.120
 What you heard.

00:31:03.900 --> 00:31:05.140
 About what he has done.

00:31:08.420 --> 00:31:09.420
 Verse 14.

00:31:09.420 --> 00:31:10.340
 He redeemed us.

00:31:10.340 --> 00:31:11.220
 In order that.

00:31:11.220 --> 00:31:12.240
 The blessing.

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:13.600
 Given to Abraham.

00:31:13.600 --> 00:31:15.660
 Might come to the Gentiles.

00:31:16.140 --> 00:31:17.620
 Through or in.

00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:18.800
 Christ Jesus.

00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:20.519
 So that by faith.

00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:22.000
 We might receive.

00:31:22.220 --> 00:31:22.960
 The promise.

00:31:23.380 --> 00:31:24.160
 Of the spirit.

00:31:25.380 --> 00:31:26.580
 There was something.

00:31:26.800 --> 00:31:27.440
 In the way.

00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:30.140
 Of Abraham.

00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:31.800
 And his offspring.

00:31:32.060 --> 00:31:33.460
 Receiving what was promised.

00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:34.900
 And of the nations.

00:31:35.080 --> 00:31:35.560
 Receiving.

00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:36.980
 What has been promised.

00:31:36.980 --> 00:31:39.700
 Sin.

00:31:40.819 --> 00:31:41.980
 Our obligation.

00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:43.220
 To God's law.

00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:46.319
 But Christ has come.

00:31:46.940 --> 00:31:48.519
 And taken care of all of that.

00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:51.240
 When he hung on the tree.

00:31:51.360 --> 00:31:52.220
 He bore the curse.

00:31:52.299 --> 00:31:53.200
 He took the wrath.

00:31:53.900 --> 00:31:55.279
 On the positive side.

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:56.019
 He said.

00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:57.579
 I have come to fulfill the law.

00:31:58.360 --> 00:31:59.019
 The obedience.

00:31:59.180 --> 00:32:00.039
 The law requires.

00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:01.400
 Jesus has done it.

00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:03.360
 And now the blessing.

00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:05.360
 Is guaranteed.

00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:06.740
 And can flow.

00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:07.920
 Not just.

00:32:08.320 --> 00:32:09.740
 To the physical descendants.

00:32:09.740 --> 00:32:10.380
 Of Abraham.

00:32:10.380 --> 00:32:11.360
 Who have faith.

00:32:11.780 --> 00:32:12.960
 But also.

00:32:13.140 --> 00:32:13.600
 Paul says.

00:32:13.740 --> 00:32:15.100
 To the Gentiles.

00:32:15.620 --> 00:32:16.280
 In.

00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:17.420
 Christ Jesus.

00:32:18.420 --> 00:32:19.860
 So that by faith.

00:32:20.100 --> 00:32:21.080
 We might receive.

00:32:21.420 --> 00:32:22.220
 The promise.

00:32:22.220 --> 00:32:24.759
 The gift.

00:32:26.059 --> 00:32:27.339
 A right standing with God.

00:32:27.420 --> 00:32:28.700
 The Holy Spirit.

00:32:28.700 --> 00:32:29.799
 Of God himself.

00:32:30.259 --> 00:32:31.539
 To live in us.

00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:33.539
 With us.

00:32:36.600 --> 00:32:38.339
 Jesus died on that cross.

00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:41.200
 But he didn't stay dead.

00:32:41.339 --> 00:32:43.839
 This passage is not about the resurrection.

00:32:44.539 --> 00:32:45.980
 But he didn't stay dead.

00:32:46.620 --> 00:32:48.700
 He was raised back to life from the dead.

00:32:48.700 --> 00:32:51.259
 And he has been greatly exalted.

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:53.340
 And he will be greatly exalted.

00:32:53.700 --> 00:32:55.140
 For who he is.

00:32:55.340 --> 00:32:56.680
 And what he has done.

00:32:57.059 --> 00:32:57.980
 For his people.

00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:01.120
 And so what do we do.

00:33:01.819 --> 00:33:03.140
 With this passage.

00:33:04.660 --> 00:33:05.740
 This passage.

00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:08.140
 Is not really about what we do.

00:33:08.460 --> 00:33:09.240
 It's about.

00:33:09.620 --> 00:33:11.620
 What Christ has done for us.

00:33:13.220 --> 00:33:14.660
 If there is one thing.

00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:15.220
 That we.

00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:16.640
 That we can do here.

00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:19.500
 If you.

00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:20.540
 Are here this morning.

00:33:20.540 --> 00:33:22.000
 And you do not believe.

00:33:23.520 --> 00:33:25.400
 You do not belong to Jesus.

00:33:26.259 --> 00:33:27.280
 And you know it.

00:33:28.580 --> 00:33:30.080
 Paul is calling us here.

00:33:30.420 --> 00:33:31.680
 To stop trying.

00:33:32.140 --> 00:33:32.480
 To.

00:33:33.120 --> 00:33:33.440
 Earn.

00:33:33.700 --> 00:33:35.200
 A right standing with God.

00:33:35.860 --> 00:33:37.380
 By doing good works.

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:39.600
 It can't be done.

00:33:41.340 --> 00:33:42.660
 God wants to give you.

00:33:42.740 --> 00:33:44.060
 A right standing with himself.

00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:45.220
 As a free gift.

00:33:45.220 --> 00:33:47.940
 Because of what Christ has done.

00:33:48.740 --> 00:33:50.200
 And all you need to do.

00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:52.019
 Is believe that.

00:33:52.660 --> 00:33:53.559
 To receive it.

00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:55.240
 It's free.

00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:57.720
 It cost him.

00:33:58.039 --> 00:33:58.779
 A lot.

00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:00.140
 It cost him everything.

00:34:01.360 --> 00:34:02.319
 But for us.

00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:03.200
 It's free.

00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:06.539
 For those of us who do believe.

00:34:06.539 --> 00:34:09.880
 What do we need to do.

00:34:11.759 --> 00:34:12.820
 In light of this.

00:34:13.659 --> 00:34:15.619
 We've been talking about it in Colossians.

00:34:15.759 --> 00:34:17.079
 And Paul says it here.

00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:20.519
 Don't listen.

00:34:20.860 --> 00:34:21.699
 To anybody.

00:34:22.099 --> 00:34:22.779
 Who says.

00:34:23.019 --> 00:34:25.039
 That in order to have a right standing with God.

00:34:25.099 --> 00:34:25.579
 In order to.

00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:27.179
 To have the full blessing.

00:34:27.179 --> 00:34:27.779
 That God.

00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:29.360
 Has promised to his people.

00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:30.460
 You need Jesus.

00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:31.400
 Plus.

00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:32.599
 Fill in the blank.

00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:34.779
 No.

00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:37.380
 You need Jesus.

00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:38.299
 Period.

00:34:40.500 --> 00:34:42.759
 We've been talking about this in Sunday school.

00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:45.099
 See to it.

00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:46.519
 That no one takes you captive.

00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:47.259
 Through hollow.

00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:48.900
 And deceptive philosophy.

00:34:48.900 --> 00:34:50.519
 Which depends on human tradition.

00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:53.339
 And the basic principles of this world.

00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:54.360
 Rather than on Christ.

00:34:54.579 --> 00:34:55.440
 For in Christ.

00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:57.679
 All the fullness of deity.

00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:00.000
 Lives in bodily form.

00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:00.980
 And in Christ.

00:35:01.380 --> 00:35:01.760
 What?

00:35:02.179 --> 00:35:02.800
 You.

00:35:03.059 --> 00:35:04.019
 Have been brought.

00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:04.920
 To fullness.

00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:08.679
 All of the blessing of God.

00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:09.800
 Comes to his people.

00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:10.519
 Through.

00:35:11.019 --> 00:35:11.380
 Jesus.

00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:14.480
 He's won it all for us.

00:35:15.340 --> 00:35:16.940
 We don't need to go back.

00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:18.039
 To the Mosaic law.

00:35:18.179 --> 00:35:18.860
 We don't need to.

00:35:19.179 --> 00:35:19.500
 To.

00:35:19.659 --> 00:35:20.840
 To be circumcised.

00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:22.039
 We don't need to observe.

00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:23.280
 Jewish festivals.

00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:24.079
 And traditions.

00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:26.119
 It's Jesus.

00:35:26.279 --> 00:35:26.639
 Period.

00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:29.819
 We don't need to have certain.

00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:31.860
 Spiritual experiences.

00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:33.699
 We don't need to have certain.

00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:34.639
 Manifestations.

00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:35.699
 Of God's spirit.

00:35:35.799 --> 00:35:36.219
 In us.

00:35:36.279 --> 00:35:36.779
 Or gifts.

00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:38.360
 Or phenomenon.

00:35:38.619 --> 00:35:39.179
 Or things that.

00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:40.199
 That happen.

00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:41.779
 In order to have a right standing.

00:35:41.779 --> 00:35:42.279
 With God.

00:35:42.340 --> 00:35:43.679
 And to receive his full blessing.

00:35:44.059 --> 00:35:45.159
 We need Christ.

00:35:45.579 --> 00:35:46.539
 And Christ alone.

00:35:46.539 --> 00:35:53.820
 We're going to.

00:35:53.820 --> 00:35:54.599
 Talk about.

00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:56.539
 More about some of these things.

00:35:56.619 --> 00:35:57.199
 Next Sunday.

00:35:57.199 --> 00:35:58.820
 As we continue the rest of the passage.

00:35:58.820 --> 00:35:59.820
 I'm going to leave it there.

00:36:00.139 --> 00:36:00.539
 Let's.

00:36:00.619 --> 00:36:01.380
 Let's pray together.

00:36:01.380 --> 00:36:11.160
 Father in heaven.

00:36:11.160 --> 00:36:12.099
 Thank you so much.

00:36:12.240 --> 00:36:13.360
 For sending your son.

00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:15.720
 To die for us.

00:36:15.720 --> 00:36:16.019
 Lord.

00:36:19.660 --> 00:36:20.960
 It's hard to believe.

00:36:21.240 --> 00:36:21.880
 In one sense.

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:22.519
 That you.

00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:24.300
 The Lord of glory.

00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:25.320
 Would come down.

00:36:25.740 --> 00:36:27.320
 And be put up on a pole.

00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:28.059
 On a cross.

00:36:28.059 --> 00:36:28.760
 Like that.

00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:31.580
 Where people would.

00:36:32.120 --> 00:36:33.080
 Would think.

00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:34.560
 That you were under God's curse.

00:36:34.560 --> 00:36:35.880
 For your own sins.

00:36:37.980 --> 00:36:38.940
 Such shame.

00:36:39.140 --> 00:36:39.800
 And scorn.

00:36:40.180 --> 00:36:41.020
 You bore.

00:36:42.160 --> 00:36:43.060
 And it's our.

00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:44.540
 It was because of our sins.

00:36:48.460 --> 00:36:49.080
 Thank you.

00:36:49.140 --> 00:36:50.400
 That you loved us like that.

00:36:50.780 --> 00:36:51.900
 You're an amazing God.

00:36:52.700 --> 00:36:54.440
 We've never seen a love like that.

00:36:54.540 --> 00:36:55.260
 Anywhere else.

00:36:55.260 --> 00:36:58.920
 That's why we worship.

00:36:59.060 --> 00:37:00.180
 That's why we praise you.

00:37:00.700 --> 00:37:01.600
 That's why we sing.

00:37:03.400 --> 00:37:04.340
 In Christ's name.

00:37:04.520 --> 00:37:04.940
 We pray.

00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:05.700
 Amen.

00:37:05.700 --> 00:37:05.820
 Amen.

00:37:05.820 --> 00:37:05.860
 Amen.

00:37:05.860 --> 00:37:05.880
 Amen.

00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:05.900
 Amen.

00:37:05.900 --> 00:37:05.920
 Amen.

00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:05.940
 Amen.

00:37:05.940 --> 00:37:05.960
 Amen.

00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:05.980
 Amen.

00:37:05.980 --> 00:37:07.920
 Amen.

00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:07.960
 Amen.

00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:09.920
 Amen.

00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:09.960
 Amen.

00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:10.020
 Amen.

00:37:10.020 --> 00:37:10.040
 Amen.
