00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.480
 John chapter 8.

00:00:05.060 --> 00:00:10.120
 Our text for today is John chapter 8 verses 31 through 47.

00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:10.720
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:45.920
 This, the first proclamation of the gospel called the Proto-Evangelion,

00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:50.039
 the promise of one who will come to crush the head of Satan,

00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:59.179
 establishes a thematic line that should be carefully traced all throughout the Old Testament and to our text today.

00:00:59.179 --> 00:01:07.079
 I can't under-present the emphasis that should be made in thinking in these terms as we read the Bible.

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:14.659
 A careful reader of the Old Testament will note the conflicts that arise between those who oppose God,

00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:17.879
 metaphorically offspring of the serpent,

00:01:18.659 --> 00:01:24.900
 and those who are shown God's favor, metaphorically offspring of the woman,

00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:30.680
 all of which culminates in the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:36.660
 Children, you may have heard him called the Snake Crusher

00:01:36.660 --> 00:01:39.600
 in some of the reading that your parents do with you.

00:01:40.660 --> 00:01:46.040
 This theme should be present on our minds as we look at today's text.

00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:52.480
 The conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders of his day has been growing in John's gospel.

00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:59.680
 In chapter 5, his opponents didn't like him healing on the Sabbath and calling God his Father.

00:02:00.100 --> 00:02:03.200
 They make a plot to kill him at that point.

00:02:03.940 --> 00:02:10.980
 In chapter 6, they didn't like him telling them they would have to eat his flesh and drink his blood to have eternal life.

00:02:10.979 --> 00:02:17.019
 Last week, we saw in chapter 8 that Jesus tells them that they will die in their sin,

00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:22.199
 that he is the great I Am, that is, God incarnate,

00:02:22.459 --> 00:02:26.419
 and that he is the source of truth on earth,

00:02:26.859 --> 00:02:29.539
 all of which they do not like.

00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:37.280
 The conflict is white hot where we have arrived in chapter 8.

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.180
 You know where it's headed.

00:02:40.819 --> 00:02:43.699
 It is reaching its high point here.

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.639
 Jesus' opponents, just like that crafty serpent in the garden,

00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.460
 undermined Eve's faith in saying,

00:02:51.900 --> 00:02:57.699
 has God really said our feigning moral superiority

00:02:57.699 --> 00:03:01.219
 while murderous intentions dwell in their hearts?

00:03:01.219 --> 00:03:07.020
 Jesus has no tolerance for this tactic.

00:03:07.979 --> 00:03:13.319
 Jesus stopped pulling punches at all at this point.

00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.120
 He will state in today's text without question

00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.520
 that they are offspring of the serpent,

00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:29.039
 bent to his will, set against the one who can set them free.

00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:35.099
 So you see, when the most important of matters are considered,

00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:39.579
 there are really only two categories of people.

00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:41.739
 The offspring of the serpent,

00:03:42.579 --> 00:03:45.459
 the offspring of the woman.

00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.000
 We're presenting it in a different way

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.519
 as we've been preaching through this text.

00:03:49.659 --> 00:03:52.299
 What are we to do with Jesus?

00:03:53.219 --> 00:03:55.899
 Are we to accept him as he presents himself,

00:03:55.900 --> 00:03:58.080
 Lord of the universe,

00:03:58.260 --> 00:04:00.500
 the one in which we must believe to be saved,

00:04:00.580 --> 00:04:02.980
 or are we to reject his teaching,

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.819
 call him a liar or a lunatic?

00:04:07.259 --> 00:04:09.420
 What we do with him determines

00:04:09.420 --> 00:04:12.439
 whether we are offspring of the serpent

00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.259
 or offspring of the woman.

00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:17.819
 Which are you?

00:04:17.819 --> 00:04:24.959
 This question deserves the severest of our attention.

00:04:25.719 --> 00:04:28.300
 It's an incredibly important question

00:04:28.300 --> 00:04:31.259
 to ask and to answer.

00:04:32.060 --> 00:04:33.939
 And I hope we might answer it

00:04:33.939 --> 00:04:37.860
 in the affirmative offspring of the woman

00:04:37.860 --> 00:04:41.500
 born of the son.

00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:46.500
 So let's look together at verses 31 through 47,

00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.480
 but let me lead us in prayer before we do.

00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:53.220
 Father, help us this day as we take up your word.

00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:56.939
 Brief moments we have this morning together.

00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:59.920
 We want to rightly understand it.

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.079
 We humbly recognize

00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:03.879
 that it was written for your glory

00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.060
 and for our good.

00:05:05.060 --> 00:05:08.100
 And we recognize that we need your spirit

00:05:08.100 --> 00:05:09.280
 to work in our hearts

00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:10.899
 that we might believe its promises

00:05:10.899 --> 00:05:12.360
 and obey its commands

00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.819
 and have affection for you, its author.

00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:18.860
 We pray, Father, our time together

00:05:18.860 --> 00:05:21.399
 will honor and glorify Christ.

00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:23.220
 And we pray this in his name.

00:05:24.300 --> 00:05:24.680
 Amen.

00:05:26.139 --> 00:05:27.480
 I'll begin reading in verse 31.

00:05:27.779 --> 00:05:30.579
 So, Jesus said to the Jews

00:05:30.579 --> 00:05:31.660
 who had believed in him,

00:05:31.660 --> 00:05:34.100
 If you abide in my word,

00:05:34.340 --> 00:05:35.980
 you are truly my disciples

00:05:35.980 --> 00:05:38.160
 and you will know the truth

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.400
 and the truth will set you free.

00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:42.620
 They answered him,

00:05:42.740 --> 00:05:44.100
 We are offspring of Abraham

00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:46.560
 and have never been enslaved to anyone.

00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:48.640
 How is it that you say

00:05:48.640 --> 00:05:50.020
 you will become free?

00:05:51.060 --> 00:05:52.240
 Jesus answered them,

00:05:52.980 --> 00:05:54.379
 Truly, truly, I say to you,

00:05:55.060 --> 00:05:56.740
 everyone who practices sin

00:05:56.740 --> 00:05:58.560
 is a slave to sin.

00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.200
 The slave does not remain in the house forever.

00:06:01.660 --> 00:06:03.800
 The son remains forever.

00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.480
 So if the son sets you free,

00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:09.000
 you will be free indeed.

00:06:10.140 --> 00:06:11.980
 I know that you are offspring of Abraham,

00:06:12.260 --> 00:06:13.680
 yet you seek to kill me

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.940
 because my word finds no place in you.

00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.100
 I speak of what I have seen with my father

00:06:19.100 --> 00:06:20.620
 and you do what you have heard

00:06:20.620 --> 00:06:21.620
 from your father.

00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:23.680
 They answered him,

00:06:24.540 --> 00:06:25.680
 Abraham is our father.

00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:27.459
 Jesus said to them,

00:06:27.459 --> 00:06:29.360
 If you were Abraham's children,

00:06:29.699 --> 00:06:32.259
 you would be doing the works Abraham did.

00:06:32.860 --> 00:06:34.280
 But now you seek to kill me,

00:06:34.340 --> 00:06:35.840
 a man who has told you the truth

00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:37.040
 that I heard from God.

00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.660
 This is not what Abraham did.

00:06:40.220 --> 00:06:43.040
 You are doing the works your father did.

00:06:44.100 --> 00:06:45.060
 They said to him,

00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.240
 We were not born of sexual immorality.

00:06:47.379 --> 00:06:48.579
 We have one father,

00:06:49.019 --> 00:06:49.699
 even God.

00:06:49.699 --> 00:06:51.879
 Jesus said to them,

00:06:52.699 --> 00:06:53.639
 If God were your father,

00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:55.279
 you would love me.

00:06:55.740 --> 00:06:57.779
 For I came from God and I am here.

00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:00.000
 I came not of my own accord,

00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:01.599
 but he sent me.

00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.659
 Why do you not understand what I say?

00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.680
 It is because you cannot bear to hear my word.

00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.240
 You are of your father, the devil,

00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:12.860
 and your will is to do your father's desires.

00:07:13.659 --> 00:07:15.480
 He was a murderer from the beginning

00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:17.700
 and does not stand in the truth

00:07:17.700 --> 00:07:20.300
 because there is no truth in him.

00:07:20.900 --> 00:07:21.800
 When he lies,

00:07:21.900 --> 00:07:23.520
 he speaks out of his own character,

00:07:23.660 --> 00:07:26.340
 for he is a liar and the father of lies.

00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:28.800
 But because I tell the truth,

00:07:29.379 --> 00:07:30.500
 you do not believe me.

00:07:31.300 --> 00:07:33.420
 Which one of you convicts me of sin?

00:07:33.960 --> 00:07:35.200
 If I tell the truth,

00:07:35.580 --> 00:07:36.800
 why do you not believe me?

00:07:37.819 --> 00:07:39.160
 Whoever is of God

00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:40.620
 hears the words of God.

00:07:41.080 --> 00:07:43.220
 The reason why you do not hear them

00:07:43.220 --> 00:07:44.520
 is that you are not.

00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:45.919
 of God.

00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.859
 Boy, if they weren't mad at him before,

00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.359
 they certainly are now.

00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:55.240
 Two groups, you see.

00:07:56.180 --> 00:07:58.680
 One free, to put it differently.

00:07:58.859 --> 00:08:01.019
 The other enslaved.

00:08:02.500 --> 00:08:03.579
 Our outline for this morning

00:08:03.579 --> 00:08:05.599
 will center on the freedom

00:08:05.599 --> 00:08:08.899
 that Jesus promises in verse 32.

00:08:10.039 --> 00:08:11.519
 The first point will be

00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.099
 the path to freedom

00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:14.939
 and the second,

00:08:15.260 --> 00:08:18.480
 the pretense of freedom.

00:08:19.580 --> 00:08:20.480
 Number one,

00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.060
 the path to freedom.

00:08:25.420 --> 00:08:27.240
 Verses 31 through 32

00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.620
 and then 35 and 36.

00:08:31.220 --> 00:08:33.100
 First, in order for us to be free,

00:08:33.259 --> 00:08:36.659
 we must believe in Christ.

00:08:36.659 --> 00:08:38.639
 Our text starts,

00:08:38.860 --> 00:08:39.399
 so,

00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:41.339
 Jesus said to the Jews

00:08:41.339 --> 00:08:43.519
 who had believed him.

00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:45.939
 This is a response

00:08:45.939 --> 00:08:46.679
 to what?

00:08:46.839 --> 00:08:48.419
 The previous verse.

00:08:48.539 --> 00:08:50.399
 You'll notice verse 30.

00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:51.399
 You look up your page.

00:08:51.539 --> 00:08:53.899
 As he was saying these things,

00:08:54.439 --> 00:08:57.519
 many believed in him.

00:08:59.079 --> 00:08:59.980
 Now, you may recall

00:08:59.980 --> 00:09:02.039
 that John doesn't exclusively use

00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:03.299
 the term the Jews

00:09:03.299 --> 00:09:05.039
 to refer to the religious leaders

00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:06.559
 that opposed Jesus.

00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:08.839
 We talked about that last week,

00:09:09.079 --> 00:09:09.979
 if memory serves me.

00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:13.699
 But that he does most regularly

00:09:13.699 --> 00:09:16.319
 use the term in this way.

00:09:17.459 --> 00:09:18.759
 This makes it really important

00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.219
 for us to ask the question,

00:09:20.479 --> 00:09:22.059
 why this phrase,

00:09:22.259 --> 00:09:24.620
 in this place?

00:09:24.620 --> 00:09:26.720
 Why does he state it this way?

00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:29.220
 He's most often using this phrase

00:09:29.220 --> 00:09:30.320
 to speak of Jesus'

00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:33.419
 Jewish religious opposition.

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:35.000
 So, why here?

00:09:35.539 --> 00:09:36.139
 We see,

00:09:36.460 --> 00:09:37.120
 many believe.

00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:39.299
 So, Jesus said to the Jews

00:09:39.299 --> 00:09:42.159
 who had believed.

00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:44.720
 Certainly, John could have said

00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.539
 those who had believed in him,

00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:49.180
 referring back to verse 30,

00:09:49.620 --> 00:09:52.279
 but he doesn't make that choice.

00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.259
 In fact,

00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:55.980
 John records what Jesus says,

00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:57.399
 and then the response

00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:58.879
 in the rest of our text,

00:09:59.019 --> 00:10:00.459
 beginning in verse 33,

00:10:01.259 --> 00:10:03.559
 they answered him.

00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:05.240
 And then John records

00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:06.459
 Jesus' indictment

00:10:06.459 --> 00:10:09.079
 of those who answered him.

00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:12.319
 What are we to do with this?

00:10:13.899 --> 00:10:15.339
 I want to separate them out.

00:10:15.439 --> 00:10:15.879
 I want to make them

00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:17.240
 two separate groups of people.

00:10:17.439 --> 00:10:19.939
 I want to apply some conjecture

00:10:19.939 --> 00:10:21.259
 that there's different groups

00:10:21.259 --> 00:10:22.179
 standing around

00:10:22.179 --> 00:10:22.980
 as he's teaching

00:10:22.980 --> 00:10:24.220
 in the treasury,

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:25.200
 in the temple.

00:10:26.100 --> 00:10:27.100
 The text doesn't give us

00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:27.980
 any clues

00:10:27.980 --> 00:10:29.980
 that that's what's happening here

00:10:29.980 --> 00:10:31.419
 at all.

00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:33.639
 Last week,

00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:34.659
 in speaking of those

00:10:34.659 --> 00:10:35.960
 who will die in their sin,

00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:37.580
 I concluded with hope

00:10:37.580 --> 00:10:40.259
 because of verse 30.

00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:42.840
 But to my shame,

00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:44.740
 I had not gathered

00:10:44.740 --> 00:10:46.039
 the full context

00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:47.939
 of what is happening here.

00:10:47.940 --> 00:10:50.960
 precursory read it through,

00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:52.800
 but didn't really think

00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:54.200
 what's going on

00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.280
 in these verses.

00:10:57.780 --> 00:10:58.300
 Now,

00:10:58.380 --> 00:11:00.060
 I read a slew

00:11:00.060 --> 00:11:01.260
 of explanations this week

00:11:01.260 --> 00:11:02.820
 trying to hang on

00:11:02.820 --> 00:11:03.620
 to the individuals

00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:05.160
 in verses 30 through 32

00:11:05.160 --> 00:11:06.780
 as genuine believers.

00:11:06.779 --> 00:11:07.459
 believers.

00:11:08.419 --> 00:11:09.600
 But I found them

00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.159
 all wanting.

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:12.620
 Really,

00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:13.779
 don't want to say,

00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:15.279
 I think I got that wrong.

00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:16.579
 I think I misunderstood

00:11:16.579 --> 00:11:18.600
 verse 30,

00:11:18.699 --> 00:11:20.120
 but none of the explanations

00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:21.939
 really held much

00:11:21.939 --> 00:11:23.039
 muster.

00:11:24.179 --> 00:11:25.019
 If we are faithful

00:11:25.019 --> 00:11:26.360
 to the words presented to us,

00:11:26.439 --> 00:11:27.079
 and yes,

00:11:27.419 --> 00:11:29.059
 even to the original language

00:11:29.059 --> 00:11:30.079
 in which they were written,

00:11:30.500 --> 00:11:31.179
 some of you might be

00:11:31.179 --> 00:11:32.360
 running off on your devices

00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:33.240
 to try to sort it

00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:34.120
 out.

00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:35.560
 You'll be disappointed.

00:11:37.500 --> 00:11:38.480
 We must conclude

00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:40.159
 that the Jews

00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:41.240
 being addressed

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:42.320
 have not

00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:43.519
 truly

00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.159
 believed.

00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:47.039
 Jesus,

00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:49.320
 as he is God,

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:51.460
 knows the hearts of men,

00:11:52.100 --> 00:11:52.879
 and he knows

00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:54.799
 these men are fickle

00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.460
 just like those

00:11:56.460 --> 00:11:57.179
 encountered

00:11:57.179 --> 00:11:58.360
 previously.

00:11:59.560 --> 00:12:00.399
 Do you recall,

00:12:00.560 --> 00:12:01.560
 this isn't the first time

00:12:01.560 --> 00:12:02.180
 we have seen

00:12:02.180 --> 00:12:03.399
 this issue

00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.059
 in John's gospel.

00:12:05.959 --> 00:12:06.579
 I'll take you back

00:12:06.579 --> 00:12:07.679
 to John chapter 6,

00:12:07.779 --> 00:12:09.480
 beginning in verse 60.

00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:11.000
 After Jesus

00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:11.579
 had spoken

00:12:11.579 --> 00:12:12.939
 of eating his flesh

00:12:12.939 --> 00:12:13.720
 and drinking

00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:14.959
 his blood,

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:16.860
 metaphorically,

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:18.120
 to be sure,

00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:21.199
 when many of his disciples

00:12:21.199 --> 00:12:22.059
 heard it,

00:12:22.259 --> 00:12:22.699
 disciples,

00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:24.059
 followers of him

00:12:24.059 --> 00:12:25.019
 heard it,

00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:25.579
 they said,

00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:27.399
 this is a hard saying.

00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:29.500
 Who can listen to it?

00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:31.639
 But Jesus,

00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:33.679
 knowing in himself

00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:34.620
 that his disciples

00:12:34.620 --> 00:12:35.320
 were grumbling

00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:36.139
 about this,

00:12:36.379 --> 00:12:37.779
 he's aware of it,

00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:38.919
 said to them,

00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:40.539
 do you take offense

00:12:40.539 --> 00:12:41.100
 at this?

00:12:42.059 --> 00:12:43.220
 Then what if

00:12:43.220 --> 00:12:43.820
 you were to see

00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:44.639
 the Son of Man

00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:45.620
 ascending to where

00:12:45.620 --> 00:12:46.620
 he was before?

00:12:47.580 --> 00:12:48.899
 It is the Spirit

00:12:48.899 --> 00:12:50.059
 who gives life.

00:12:50.580 --> 00:12:51.080
 The flesh

00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:52.200
 is no help at all.

00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:53.759
 The words that I have

00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:54.480
 spoken to you

00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:55.120
 are Spirit

00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:56.000
 and

00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:56.919
 life.

00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:58.199
 But there are

00:12:58.199 --> 00:12:59.019
 some of you

00:12:59.019 --> 00:13:00.439
 who do not

00:13:00.439 --> 00:13:01.599
 believe.

00:13:02.199 --> 00:13:03.479
 For Jesus knew

00:13:03.479 --> 00:13:05.059
 from the beginning

00:13:05.059 --> 00:13:06.919
 who those were

00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:07.919
 who did not

00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:08.719
 believe.

00:13:08.819 --> 00:13:09.319
 You see the exact

00:13:09.319 --> 00:13:10.039
 same thing happening

00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:10.959
 in our text today.

00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.120
 Those who said

00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:12.919
 they believed,

00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:14.219
 Jesus already knew

00:13:14.219 --> 00:13:15.179
 they did not

00:13:15.179 --> 00:13:16.139
 believe

00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:18.099
 and who it was

00:13:18.099 --> 00:13:19.699
 who would betray him.

00:13:20.659 --> 00:13:21.799
 And he said,

00:13:22.339 --> 00:13:23.740
 this is why I told you

00:13:23.740 --> 00:13:24.779
 that no one

00:13:24.779 --> 00:13:25.719
 can come to me

00:13:25.719 --> 00:13:26.839
 unless it is granted

00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:27.899
 him by

00:13:27.899 --> 00:13:29.300
 the Father.

00:13:30.379 --> 00:13:31.280
 After this,

00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:32.420
 many of his

00:13:32.420 --> 00:13:32.860
 disciples

00:13:32.860 --> 00:13:34.240
 turned back

00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:35.759
 and no longer

00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:36.540
 walked

00:13:36.540 --> 00:13:37.759
 with him.

00:13:39.040 --> 00:13:39.580
 What's happened

00:13:39.580 --> 00:13:40.100
 before,

00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:41.180
 I think we're

00:13:41.180 --> 00:13:41.860
 seeing it happen

00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:43.080
 here again.

00:13:43.660 --> 00:13:44.560
 Professions,

00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:45.720
 we believe,

00:13:46.420 --> 00:13:46.899
 and Jesus

00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:47.899
 exposes

00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:50.180
 their unbelief.

00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:52.700
 But all the same,

00:13:52.900 --> 00:13:53.920
 Jesus is

00:13:53.920 --> 00:13:54.519
 presenting

00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:55.559
 the path

00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:56.559
 to freedom.

00:13:56.980 --> 00:13:57.799
 His listeners

00:13:57.799 --> 00:13:58.500
 are hearing it

00:13:58.500 --> 00:13:59.399
 and we're

00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:00.360
 hearing it

00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:01.559
 as well.

00:14:02.259 --> 00:14:03.519
 If these people

00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:04.059
 who are said

00:14:04.059 --> 00:14:05.439
 to have believed

00:14:05.439 --> 00:14:06.960
 did not believe

00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:08.539
 savingly,

00:14:09.579 --> 00:14:10.120
 then what are we

00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:10.679
 to think

00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:12.259
 of our own

00:14:12.259 --> 00:14:13.159
 belief?

00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:15.299
 We must believe.

00:14:15.620 --> 00:14:16.720
 We must believe.

00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:18.220
 We must believe

00:14:18.220 --> 00:14:18.879
 that Jesus

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.220
 is the Christ,

00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:21.659
 the God-man

00:14:21.659 --> 00:14:22.360
 sent to live

00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:22.860
 the life

00:14:22.860 --> 00:14:23.919
 demanded of us

00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:24.480
 that we

00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:25.779
 have not lived,

00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:27.320
 to die the death

00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:28.019
 that we

00:14:28.019 --> 00:14:29.180
 deserve

00:14:29.180 --> 00:14:30.200
 because of our sin,

00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:31.720
 to resurrect

00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:32.800
 as a defeat

00:14:32.800 --> 00:14:33.360
 of death

00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:34.639
 that we may have

00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.220
 eternal life.

00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:38.480
 Is saving

00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:39.360
 belief

00:14:39.899 --> 00:14:41.259
 just about

00:14:41.259 --> 00:14:41.980
 getting the

00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:43.279
 gospel equation

00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:44.320
 right?

00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:46.240
 Were the people

00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:46.800
 in our text

00:14:46.800 --> 00:14:47.539
 just missing

00:14:47.539 --> 00:14:48.419
 some bit

00:14:48.419 --> 00:14:49.679
 of detail?

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:51.860
 Not at all.

00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:53.459
 Of course,

00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:54.620
 we must believe

00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:55.559
 certain things

00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:57.360
 to be saved.

00:14:58.079 --> 00:14:58.759
 But the biblical

00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:00.120
 idea of belief

00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:01.419
 steps beyond

00:15:01.419 --> 00:15:02.899
 just logging

00:15:02.899 --> 00:15:04.039
 some facts

00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:05.039
 in our minds

00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:06.059
 and acknowledging

00:15:06.059 --> 00:15:06.639
 them

00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.120
 as true.

00:15:08.959 --> 00:15:09.740
 This is not

00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:10.839
 the picture

00:15:10.839 --> 00:15:12.679
 of belief.

00:15:13.259 --> 00:15:14.099
 The word,

00:15:14.199 --> 00:15:14.860
 the Greek word,

00:15:14.939 --> 00:15:15.500
 doesn't really

00:15:15.500 --> 00:15:16.500
 even allow

00:15:16.500 --> 00:15:17.220
 for that.

00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:19.500
 The word

00:15:19.500 --> 00:15:19.879
 believe

00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:20.799
 can also

00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:21.960
 be translated

00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:23.820
 trust.

00:15:24.820 --> 00:15:25.519
 It's a

00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:26.840
 throwing yourself

00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:27.460
 upon

00:15:27.460 --> 00:15:28.740
 the truth

00:15:28.740 --> 00:15:29.379
 you say

00:15:29.379 --> 00:15:30.120
 that you

00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:31.340
 believe.

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:32.639
 So last week

00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:33.779
 I very briefly

00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:34.379
 talked about

00:15:34.379 --> 00:15:35.240
 the parachute

00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:35.759
 analogy

00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:36.639
 and me

00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:37.039
 and the boys

00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:37.600
 lining up

00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:38.159
 on our couch

00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:38.919
 and jumping off

00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:39.360
 and trying to

00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:40.480
 explain faith

00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:40.860
 to them,

00:15:40.899 --> 00:15:41.320
 what it means

00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:42.000
 to believe

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:42.720
 in something.

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:43.940
 If you're

00:15:43.940 --> 00:15:44.500
 to believe

00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:45.500
 that a parachute

00:15:45.500 --> 00:15:46.159
 will save

00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:46.659
 your life

00:15:46.659 --> 00:15:47.039
 if you were

00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:47.659
 thrown out

00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:48.240
 of a plane,

00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:50.039
 you put it

00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:50.679
 on differently

00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:51.179
 than if you

00:15:51.179 --> 00:15:51.460
 just were

00:15:51.460 --> 00:15:52.240
 on the ground

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:52.580
 saying,

00:15:52.740 --> 00:15:52.840
 sure,

00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:53.080
 sure,

00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:53.600
 parachutes

00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:54.179
 catch people

00:15:54.179 --> 00:15:54.500
 when they

00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:54.779
 fall.

00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:56.580
 There's

00:15:56.580 --> 00:15:56.960
 actually some

00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:57.620
 action that

00:15:57.620 --> 00:15:57.980
 follows.

00:15:58.100 --> 00:15:58.879
 I genuinely

00:15:58.879 --> 00:15:59.840
 believe

00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:00.720
 that this

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:02.019
 will catch

00:16:02.019 --> 00:16:02.179
 me,

00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:02.860
 will save

00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:03.679
 me in

00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:05.120
 the end.

00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:06.759
 Or perhaps

00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.399
 an accident

00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:09.240
 is imminent

00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:09.820
 or you're

00:16:09.820 --> 00:16:10.220
 going to

00:16:10.220 --> 00:16:10.919
 crash your

00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:11.460
 car into

00:16:11.460 --> 00:16:11.879
 a brick

00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:12.340
 wall

00:16:12.340 --> 00:16:12.780
 and your

00:16:12.780 --> 00:16:13.639
 seat belt

00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:14.160
 is on

00:16:14.160 --> 00:16:14.440
 and you

00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:15.120
 know that

00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:15.480
 there's an

00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:15.980
 airbag

00:16:15.980 --> 00:16:16.620
 that will

00:16:16.620 --> 00:16:17.700
 deploy

00:16:17.700 --> 00:16:18.180
 and as much

00:16:18.180 --> 00:16:18.600
 as it may

00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:19.340
 hurt when

00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:20.080
 that happens,

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:20.920
 you believe

00:16:20.920 --> 00:16:21.720
 that it will

00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:22.700
 in fact

00:16:22.700 --> 00:16:24.200
 save you

00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:25.680
 from destruction.

00:16:26.920 --> 00:16:27.860
 This is the

00:16:27.860 --> 00:16:28.740
 way we grasp

00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:29.519
 hold of the

00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:30.740
 truth of the

00:16:30.740 --> 00:16:31.120
 gospel.

00:16:31.340 --> 00:16:31.960
 We understand

00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:32.519
 our sin

00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:33.100
 and we understand

00:16:33.100 --> 00:16:33.639
 what is bought

00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:34.000
 for us

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:34.840
 and we know

00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:35.420
 that eternal

00:16:35.420 --> 00:16:36.259
 damnation is

00:16:36.259 --> 00:16:37.060
 just and

00:16:37.060 --> 00:16:37.620
 right.

00:16:38.620 --> 00:16:39.080
 It's what

00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:40.000
 awaits us

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:40.740
 if we don't

00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:41.139
 turn from

00:16:41.139 --> 00:16:41.559
 our sin

00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:42.039
 and place

00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:42.779
 our faith,

00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:43.840
 our trust

00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:46.179
 in Christ.

00:16:46.980 --> 00:16:47.779
 We must.

00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:49.220
 We must

00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:51.019
 believe.

00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:53.139
 We must

00:16:53.139 --> 00:16:53.759
 believe in a

00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:54.100
 way that

00:16:54.100 --> 00:16:55.039
 evidences

00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:56.860
 our belief.

00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:57.779
 We take

00:16:57.779 --> 00:16:58.139
 hold of

00:16:58.139 --> 00:16:58.779
 Jesus in

00:16:58.779 --> 00:16:59.279
 that way.

00:16:59.419 --> 00:16:59.740
 We give

00:16:59.740 --> 00:17:00.320
 our very

00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:01.559
 life that

00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:01.980
 we might

00:17:01.980 --> 00:17:03.519
 belong to

00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:03.860
 him.

00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:04.980
 It's going

00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:05.339
 to work

00:17:05.339 --> 00:17:05.859
 out in

00:17:05.859 --> 00:17:06.319
 the way

00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:06.759
 that we

00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:07.500
 live.

00:17:08.660 --> 00:17:08.880
 We're

00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:09.039
 going to

00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:10.099
 hold on

00:17:10.099 --> 00:17:10.339
 to him

00:17:10.339 --> 00:17:10.940
 not just

00:17:10.940 --> 00:17:11.399
 as our

00:17:11.399 --> 00:17:12.159
 savior but

00:17:12.159 --> 00:17:13.279
 also as

00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:13.779
 our

00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:15.019
 Lord.

00:17:16.299 --> 00:17:16.920
 All of

00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:17.159
 me.

00:17:18.099 --> 00:17:18.460
 I'll give

00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:19.240
 all of

00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:19.799
 myself

00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:21.299
 to you.

00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:23.139
 We live

00:17:23.139 --> 00:17:23.519
 in an age

00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:24.200
 of cheap

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:24.940
 grace and

00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:25.759
 decisionism

00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:27.039
 where what

00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:27.519
 it means

00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:27.839
 to be

00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:28.359
 saved is

00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:28.779
 to raise

00:17:28.779 --> 00:17:29.399
 a hand,

00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:30.099
 walk an

00:17:30.099 --> 00:17:30.539
 aisle,

00:17:31.059 --> 00:17:31.659
 sign your

00:17:31.659 --> 00:17:31.980
 name on

00:17:31.980 --> 00:17:32.579
 a card.

00:17:33.139 --> 00:17:33.339
 Many

00:17:33.339 --> 00:17:33.779
 people have

00:17:33.779 --> 00:17:34.119
 done those

00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:34.720
 things and

00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:35.059
 the Lord

00:17:35.059 --> 00:17:35.779
 has saved

00:17:35.779 --> 00:17:37.000
 them but

00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:37.399
 not because

00:17:37.399 --> 00:17:37.960
 of the things

00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:38.380
 that they

00:17:38.380 --> 00:17:39.160
 did.

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:41.400
 And then

00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:42.299
 salvation

00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:43.380
 and some

00:17:43.380 --> 00:17:44.160
 perspective is

00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:45.079
 granted to

00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:45.539
 those

00:17:45.539 --> 00:17:46.779
 individuals.

00:17:47.940 --> 00:17:48.539
 No follow

00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:48.799
 up,

00:17:49.360 --> 00:17:50.319
 no discipleship,

00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:51.660
 no meaningful

00:17:51.660 --> 00:17:52.579
 church membership,

00:17:53.259 --> 00:17:54.340
 no effort to

00:17:54.340 --> 00:17:55.180
 watch and be

00:17:55.180 --> 00:17:55.640
 careful,

00:17:56.340 --> 00:17:56.900
 to see what

00:17:56.900 --> 00:17:57.700
 happens when

00:17:57.700 --> 00:17:58.259
 the son of

00:17:58.259 --> 00:17:58.840
 tribulation

00:17:58.840 --> 00:17:59.539
 comes.

00:17:59.680 --> 00:17:59.860
 Do these

00:17:59.860 --> 00:18:01.039
 people dry

00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:01.860
 up and not

00:18:01.860 --> 00:18:02.579
 produce fruit?

00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:03.180
 Are they

00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:04.720
 actually in

00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:05.799
 Christ?

00:18:06.019 --> 00:18:06.360
 Do they

00:18:06.360 --> 00:18:07.340
 press on

00:18:07.339 --> 00:18:08.639
 in him?

00:18:08.980 --> 00:18:09.480
 Persevere

00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:10.779
 to the

00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:11.159
 very

00:18:11.159 --> 00:18:12.500
 end.

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:14.559
 Beloved,

00:18:14.819 --> 00:18:15.939
 good trees

00:18:15.939 --> 00:18:16.579
 produce

00:18:16.579 --> 00:18:17.399
 good

00:18:17.399 --> 00:18:18.899
 fruit.

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:21.159
 Those of

00:18:21.159 --> 00:18:21.559
 you who

00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:22.299
 may be out

00:18:22.299 --> 00:18:23.199
 of Christ

00:18:23.199 --> 00:18:23.899
 this morning,

00:18:24.699 --> 00:18:25.399
 bad trees

00:18:25.399 --> 00:18:26.959
 produce

00:18:26.959 --> 00:18:28.579
 bad fruit.

00:18:30.439 --> 00:18:30.980
 Apples

00:18:30.980 --> 00:18:31.299
 don't grow

00:18:31.299 --> 00:18:31.619
 on pear

00:18:31.619 --> 00:18:31.980
 trees,

00:18:32.159 --> 00:18:32.559
 right children?

00:18:34.459 --> 00:18:35.079
 Now you

00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:35.319
 may be

00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:35.779
 thinking that

00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:36.059
 is all

00:18:36.059 --> 00:18:36.500
 well and

00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:36.799
 good.

00:18:37.339 --> 00:18:38.439
 This kind

00:18:38.439 --> 00:18:39.539
 of active

00:18:39.539 --> 00:18:40.299
 faith.

00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:40.899
 But are

00:18:40.899 --> 00:18:41.859
 those ideas

00:18:41.859 --> 00:18:43.079
 found here

00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:44.579
 in Jesus'

00:18:44.779 --> 00:18:45.119
 words?

00:18:46.159 --> 00:18:46.759
 Yes,

00:18:47.179 --> 00:18:47.699
 they are.

00:18:48.199 --> 00:18:48.919
 He says

00:18:48.919 --> 00:18:49.399
 to those

00:18:49.399 --> 00:18:50.759
 who believe,

00:18:51.779 --> 00:18:53.039
 profess to

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:54.179
 believe,

00:18:55.259 --> 00:18:56.179
 if you

00:18:56.179 --> 00:18:57.839
 abide in

00:18:57.839 --> 00:18:58.480
 my word,

00:18:59.220 --> 00:18:59.720
 you are

00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:00.079
 truly

00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:01.339
 my

00:19:01.339 --> 00:19:01.720
 disciples.

00:19:02.399 --> 00:19:03.179
 And you

00:19:03.179 --> 00:19:03.480
 will know

00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:04.019
 the truth

00:19:04.019 --> 00:19:04.679
 and the

00:19:04.679 --> 00:19:05.059
 truth

00:19:05.059 --> 00:19:06.579
 will set

00:19:06.579 --> 00:19:06.980
 you free.

00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:08.639
 So we

00:19:08.639 --> 00:19:09.299
 must believe

00:19:09.299 --> 00:19:09.740
 that Jesus

00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:10.460
 is the

00:19:10.460 --> 00:19:10.919
 Christ

00:19:10.919 --> 00:19:12.139
 and we're

00:19:12.139 --> 00:19:12.379
 going to

00:19:12.379 --> 00:19:13.119
 evidence that

00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:14.679
 by obeying

00:19:14.679 --> 00:19:15.359
 his

00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:16.599
 word.

00:19:17.859 --> 00:19:18.659
 The evidence

00:19:18.659 --> 00:19:19.159
 of belief

00:19:19.159 --> 00:19:19.659
 is an

00:19:19.659 --> 00:19:20.299
 abiding

00:19:20.299 --> 00:19:22.379
 or remaining

00:19:22.379 --> 00:19:23.699
 continuing

00:19:23.699 --> 00:19:24.539
 in

00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:25.679
 Jesus'

00:19:25.899 --> 00:19:26.199
 word.

00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:26.340
 faith.

00:19:27.340 --> 00:19:28.240
 D.A.

00:19:28.299 --> 00:19:28.580
 Carson

00:19:28.580 --> 00:19:29.180
 said of

00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:29.900
 this text,

00:19:30.340 --> 00:19:30.519
 quote,

00:19:30.600 --> 00:19:31.140
 holding to

00:19:31.140 --> 00:19:31.420
 Jesus'

00:19:31.600 --> 00:19:32.259
 teaching not

00:19:32.259 --> 00:19:33.299
 only establishes

00:19:33.299 --> 00:19:34.180
 the genuineness

00:19:34.180 --> 00:19:34.680
 of faith,

00:19:35.100 --> 00:19:36.120
 it also has

00:19:36.120 --> 00:19:36.740
 its own

00:19:36.740 --> 00:19:37.840
 authenticating

00:19:37.840 --> 00:19:38.880
 power.

00:19:39.539 --> 00:19:40.059
 We come to

00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:40.880
 know truth

00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:42.160
 not simply by

00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:42.799
 intellectual

00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:44.120
 assessment but

00:19:44.120 --> 00:19:45.080
 by moral

00:19:45.080 --> 00:19:46.380
 commitment.

00:19:47.860 --> 00:19:48.580
 Not only do I

00:19:48.580 --> 00:19:49.460
 see that it's

00:19:49.460 --> 00:19:50.100
 true but I

00:19:50.100 --> 00:19:50.940
 arrange my

00:19:50.940 --> 00:19:52.299
 life according

00:19:52.299 --> 00:19:53.940
 to it.

00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:56.200
 Judaism,

00:19:56.419 --> 00:19:56.779
 you may not

00:19:56.779 --> 00:19:57.119
 know,

00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:58.240
 taught that the

00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:59.200
 study of the

00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:00.419
 law is what

00:20:00.419 --> 00:20:01.159
 makes a man

00:20:01.159 --> 00:20:02.379
 free.

00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:03.899
 The study of

00:20:03.899 --> 00:20:04.960
 it, not the

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:05.559
 obedience to it,

00:20:05.579 --> 00:20:06.460
 but the study of

00:20:06.460 --> 00:20:07.200
 it is what makes

00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:08.480
 a man free.

00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:10.639
 Jesus taught

00:20:10.639 --> 00:20:11.619
 that the law

00:20:11.619 --> 00:20:12.619
 serves to

00:20:12.619 --> 00:20:13.759
 point to

00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:15.180
 him.

00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:17.200
 John 14

00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:17.639
 and verse

00:20:17.639 --> 00:20:18.240
 6,

00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:19.379
 Jesus there

00:20:19.379 --> 00:20:19.680
 said,

00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:20.820
 I am the

00:20:20.820 --> 00:20:22.340
 way and

00:20:22.340 --> 00:20:23.080
 the truth

00:20:23.080 --> 00:20:25.160
 and the

00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:25.600
 life.

00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:27.240
 No one

00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:27.720
 comes to the

00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:29.060
 Father except

00:20:29.060 --> 00:20:29.580
 through me.

00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:31.200
 You may

00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:31.920
 recall John

00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:32.660
 1 and verse

00:20:32.660 --> 00:20:33.279
 14,

00:20:33.460 --> 00:20:33.700
 and the

00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:34.140
 word became

00:20:34.140 --> 00:20:34.980
 flesh and

00:20:34.980 --> 00:20:35.440
 dwelt among

00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:36.640
 us and we

00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:37.019
 have seen

00:20:37.019 --> 00:20:37.660
 his glory,

00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:38.340
 glory is of

00:20:38.340 --> 00:20:38.820
 the only

00:20:38.820 --> 00:20:39.480
 son from

00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:40.000
 the father

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.100
 full of

00:20:41.100 --> 00:20:42.940
 grace and

00:20:42.940 --> 00:20:44.360
 truth.

00:20:45.840 --> 00:20:46.400
 In

00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:47.200
 John 5

00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:47.560
 and verse

00:20:47.560 --> 00:20:48.220
 39,

00:20:48.220 --> 00:20:49.299
 Jesus

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:50.299
 indicts the

00:20:50.299 --> 00:20:51.019
 Pharisees by

00:20:51.019 --> 00:20:51.360
 saying,

00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:52.539
 you search

00:20:52.539 --> 00:20:53.079
 the scriptures

00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:53.559
 because you

00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:54.380
 think that in

00:20:54.380 --> 00:20:55.240
 them you have

00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:56.160
 eternal life

00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:57.039
 and it is

00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:58.240
 they that

00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:59.140
 bear witness

00:20:59.140 --> 00:21:00.920
 about me.

00:21:02.339 --> 00:21:03.059
 It's all

00:21:03.059 --> 00:21:03.839
 meant to

00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:04.620
 take us

00:21:04.620 --> 00:21:06.000
 savingly

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:06.920
 to

00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:08.140
 Jesus

00:21:08.140 --> 00:21:08.680
 Christ,

00:21:09.100 --> 00:21:10.000
 to be set

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:11.319
 free in

00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:11.680
 him.

00:21:13.100 --> 00:21:13.819
 And

00:21:13.819 --> 00:21:15.019
 having been

00:21:15.019 --> 00:21:15.660
 set free,

00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:16.740
 we are

00:21:16.740 --> 00:21:18.620
 free to

00:21:18.620 --> 00:21:19.319
 follow him.

00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:21.579
 John 14

00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:21.920
 and verse

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:22.420
 15,

00:21:22.500 --> 00:21:22.859
 Jesus says,

00:21:22.980 --> 00:21:23.099
 if you

00:21:23.099 --> 00:21:23.839
 love me,

00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:25.559
 you will

00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:25.920
 keep my

00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:26.299
 commandments.

00:21:27.339 --> 00:21:28.180
 The evidence

00:21:28.180 --> 00:21:28.559
 of your

00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:29.019
 love for

00:21:29.019 --> 00:21:29.579
 me is that

00:21:29.579 --> 00:21:30.160
 you will

00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:31.440
 obey me.

00:21:32.220 --> 00:21:33.079
 John 15

00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:33.359
 and verse

00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:33.720
 10,

00:21:33.859 --> 00:21:34.039
 if you

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:34.359
 keep my

00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:34.799
 commandments,

00:21:35.299 --> 00:21:36.000
 you will

00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:36.359
 abide in

00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:36.799
 my love

00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:37.299
 just as I

00:21:37.299 --> 00:21:37.579
 have kept

00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:38.259
 my father's

00:21:38.259 --> 00:21:38.720
 commandments

00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:39.740
 and abide

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:40.140
 in his

00:21:40.140 --> 00:21:40.559
 love.

00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:41.500
 And then

00:21:41.500 --> 00:21:42.160
 verse 14

00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:42.620
 of the same

00:21:42.620 --> 00:21:43.059
 chapter,

00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:43.940
 you are my

00:21:43.940 --> 00:21:44.740
 friends,

00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:45.660
 if you

00:21:45.660 --> 00:21:47.000
 do what

00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:47.559
 I command

00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:47.840
 you.

00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:50.000
 We

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:51.320
 must

00:21:51.320 --> 00:21:52.000
 get

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:52.860
 this

00:21:52.860 --> 00:21:54.039
 right.

00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:55.500
 So

00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:56.220
 many

00:21:56.220 --> 00:21:56.680
 Christians

00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:57.299
 misunderstand

00:21:57.299 --> 00:21:59.080
 this teaching.

00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:00.779
 We are

00:22:00.779 --> 00:22:01.340
 justified

00:22:01.340 --> 00:22:02.980
 by grace

00:22:02.980 --> 00:22:03.500
 alone,

00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:05.080
 through faith

00:22:05.080 --> 00:22:06.039
 or belief

00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:06.900
 alone,

00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:08.100
 in

00:22:08.100 --> 00:22:09.180
 Christ

00:22:09.180 --> 00:22:10.279
 alone.

00:22:10.580 --> 00:22:10.980
 I want

00:22:10.980 --> 00:22:11.360
 that to be

00:22:11.360 --> 00:22:12.140
 programmed in

00:22:12.140 --> 00:22:12.559
 your brain.

00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:12.799
 if you've

00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:13.200
 been around

00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:13.619
 here for

00:22:13.619 --> 00:22:14.339
 a while,

00:22:14.539 --> 00:22:14.779
 we have

00:22:14.779 --> 00:22:15.159
 said this

00:22:15.159 --> 00:22:15.899
 again and

00:22:15.899 --> 00:22:16.519
 again and

00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:16.799
 again.

00:22:16.879 --> 00:22:17.079
 We are

00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:17.579
 justified

00:22:17.579 --> 00:22:19.000
 by grace

00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:19.359
 alone,

00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:20.319
 through faith

00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:20.659
 alone,

00:22:20.879 --> 00:22:22.000
 in Christ

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:23.259
 alone.

00:22:23.539 --> 00:22:24.359
 We are

00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:24.799
 not,

00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:26.200
 we cannot

00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:27.859
 be saved

00:22:27.859 --> 00:22:28.899
 by our

00:22:28.899 --> 00:22:30.039
 works.

00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:32.159
 But

00:22:32.159 --> 00:22:33.759
 saving

00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:34.460
 faith

00:22:34.460 --> 00:22:35.839
 is a

00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:36.359
 faith

00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:38.139
 that works,

00:22:38.639 --> 00:22:39.679
 that evidences,

00:22:40.419 --> 00:22:40.940
 that it's

00:22:40.940 --> 00:22:42.379
 real in

00:22:42.380 --> 00:22:42.760
 it's

00:22:42.760 --> 00:22:44.260
 working.

00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:46.400
 So

00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:46.660
 what are we

00:22:46.660 --> 00:22:46.920
 to do

00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:47.260
 with our

00:22:47.260 --> 00:22:47.600
 belief?

00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:48.480
 Invited

00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:49.260
 examination.

00:22:49.800 --> 00:22:50.280
 Help me

00:22:50.280 --> 00:22:50.780
 faithfully

00:22:50.780 --> 00:22:51.420
 follow Jesus

00:22:51.420 --> 00:22:51.820
 to the

00:22:51.820 --> 00:22:52.240
 end.

00:22:52.520 --> 00:22:53.160
 I plead

00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:53.600
 with you,

00:22:53.740 --> 00:22:54.180
 help me

00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:54.660
 faithfully

00:22:54.660 --> 00:22:55.260
 follow Jesus

00:22:55.260 --> 00:22:56.000
 to the

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:56.240
 end.

00:22:56.580 --> 00:22:56.880
 Show me

00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:57.140
 if there's

00:22:57.140 --> 00:22:57.600
 any error

00:22:57.600 --> 00:22:57.900
 in my

00:22:57.900 --> 00:22:58.220
 way.

00:22:58.560 --> 00:22:58.840
 Show me

00:22:58.840 --> 00:22:59.300
 where I'm

00:22:59.300 --> 00:22:59.940
 not being

00:22:59.940 --> 00:23:00.560
 obedient to

00:23:00.560 --> 00:23:00.800
 the word.

00:23:00.900 --> 00:23:01.220
 And thank

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:01.460
 you for

00:23:01.460 --> 00:23:01.740
 all the

00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:02.120
 times you've

00:23:02.120 --> 00:23:02.540
 done this

00:23:02.540 --> 00:23:03.000
 for me,

00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:03.540
 that I

00:23:03.540 --> 00:23:04.240
 might repent

00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:05.060
 and believe

00:23:05.060 --> 00:23:05.920
 and show

00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:06.380
 that my

00:23:06.380 --> 00:23:07.420
 faith is

00:23:07.420 --> 00:23:07.840
 a saving

00:23:07.840 --> 00:23:08.740
 faith.

00:23:08.740 --> 00:23:08.819
 faith.

00:23:11.700 --> 00:23:12.400
 Now we

00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:12.779
 have thought

00:23:12.779 --> 00:23:14.660
 briefly about

00:23:14.660 --> 00:23:16.099
 the path

00:23:16.099 --> 00:23:16.620
 to freedom,

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:17.599
 but let's

00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:18.180
 look just

00:23:18.180 --> 00:23:18.579
 for a

00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:20.079
 moment at

00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:20.759
 the nature

00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:22.299
 of that

00:23:22.299 --> 00:23:22.700
 freedom.

00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:23.920
 Hop down

00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:24.359
 just a bit

00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:24.859
 in the text

00:23:24.859 --> 00:23:25.200
 to verses

00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:27.220
 35 and

00:23:27.220 --> 00:23:27.900
 36.

00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:29.500
 There Jesus

00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:29.960
 says,

00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:30.859
 the slave

00:23:30.859 --> 00:23:31.180
 does not

00:23:31.180 --> 00:23:31.779
 remain in

00:23:31.779 --> 00:23:32.339
 the house

00:23:32.339 --> 00:23:33.299
 forever.

00:23:33.900 --> 00:23:34.779
 The son

00:23:34.779 --> 00:23:36.120
 remains

00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:37.159
 forever.

00:23:38.059 --> 00:23:38.500
 So if

00:23:38.500 --> 00:23:38.939
 the son

00:23:38.939 --> 00:23:39.439
 sets you

00:23:39.439 --> 00:23:39.779
 free,

00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:40.619
 you will

00:23:40.619 --> 00:23:41.599
 be free

00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:43.199
 indeed.

00:23:45.199 --> 00:23:45.839
 Jesus

00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:46.459
 uses an

00:23:46.459 --> 00:23:47.399
 analogy to

00:23:47.399 --> 00:23:47.779
 show us

00:23:47.779 --> 00:23:48.659
 the glory

00:23:48.659 --> 00:23:49.399
 of the

00:23:49.399 --> 00:23:49.779
 freedom

00:23:49.779 --> 00:23:50.819
 found in

00:23:50.819 --> 00:23:51.139
 him.

00:23:52.439 --> 00:23:53.099
 If we

00:23:53.099 --> 00:23:53.519
 have been

00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:54.739
 justified,

00:23:55.179 --> 00:23:55.479
 it's a

00:23:55.479 --> 00:23:56.399
 courtroom

00:23:56.399 --> 00:23:57.119
 scene,

00:23:57.379 --> 00:23:57.500
 right?

00:23:57.659 --> 00:23:58.599
 Our sin

00:23:58.599 --> 00:23:59.279
 expunged,

00:23:59.339 --> 00:23:59.719
 it's taken

00:23:59.719 --> 00:24:00.219
 away,

00:24:00.619 --> 00:24:01.019
 perfect

00:24:01.019 --> 00:24:01.719
 law keeping

00:24:01.719 --> 00:24:02.359
 given to

00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:03.619
 us by

00:24:03.619 --> 00:24:04.359
 grace alone

00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:04.959
 through faith

00:24:04.959 --> 00:24:05.579
 alone in

00:24:05.579 --> 00:24:06.659
 Christ alone.

00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:08.019
 If this

00:24:08.019 --> 00:24:08.759
 is true

00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:09.939
 of us,

00:24:10.980 --> 00:24:12.419
 we're

00:24:12.419 --> 00:24:12.799
 forgiven.

00:24:13.159 --> 00:24:13.539
 What a

00:24:13.539 --> 00:24:14.299
 wonderful thing.

00:24:14.819 --> 00:24:15.159
 We're

00:24:15.159 --> 00:24:15.879
 counted as

00:24:15.879 --> 00:24:16.439
 righteous.

00:24:17.099 --> 00:24:17.439
 What a

00:24:17.439 --> 00:24:18.279
 wonderful thing,

00:24:18.399 --> 00:24:19.119
 but that's

00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:19.899
 not

00:24:19.899 --> 00:24:21.319
 all.

00:24:22.939 --> 00:24:24.059
 I think

00:24:24.059 --> 00:24:24.319
 in the

00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:24.859
 past,

00:24:25.419 --> 00:24:25.879
 I've

00:24:25.879 --> 00:24:26.879
 spent too

00:24:26.879 --> 00:24:27.539
 much time

00:24:27.539 --> 00:24:27.720
 on

00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:28.339
 justification,

00:24:28.819 --> 00:24:29.720
 so important,

00:24:30.659 --> 00:24:31.779
 very vital

00:24:31.779 --> 00:24:32.359
 Christian

00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:32.799
 doctrine,

00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:33.259
 I don't

00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:33.519
 want to

00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:34.039
 neglect it

00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:34.399
 in any

00:24:34.399 --> 00:24:34.740
 measure,

00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:37.440
 but if

00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:37.759
 we have

00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:38.000
 been

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:38.640
 justified,

00:24:39.299 --> 00:24:39.859
 we have

00:24:39.859 --> 00:24:40.160
 been

00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:40.740
 justified

00:24:40.740 --> 00:24:42.160
 for

00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:42.700
 something.

00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:45.319
 If it

00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:45.500
 doesn't

00:24:45.500 --> 00:24:45.980
 spring into

00:24:45.980 --> 00:24:46.420
 your mind,

00:24:46.500 --> 00:24:46.740
 I've

00:24:46.740 --> 00:24:47.339
 failed you.

00:24:48.420 --> 00:24:48.799
 I want

00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:48.960
 it to

00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:49.099
 start

00:24:49.099 --> 00:24:49.579
 springing

00:24:49.579 --> 00:24:49.740
 into

00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:49.880
 your

00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:50.140
 mind.

00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:51.000
 We've

00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:51.200
 been

00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:51.740
 justified

00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:53.019
 so that

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:53.720
 we are

00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:55.099
 adopted.

00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:56.559
 Not so

00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:56.779
 that we

00:24:56.779 --> 00:24:57.259
 might be

00:24:57.259 --> 00:24:57.599
 adopted,

00:24:57.900 --> 00:24:58.120
 but so

00:24:58.120 --> 00:24:58.380
 that we

00:24:58.380 --> 00:24:59.259
 are

00:24:59.259 --> 00:25:00.819
 adopted.

00:25:00.819 --> 00:25:01.700
 God

00:25:01.700 --> 00:25:01.859
 can

00:25:01.859 --> 00:25:02.559
 welcome

00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:02.960
 us

00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:03.539
 back

00:25:03.539 --> 00:25:03.839
 into

00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:04.259
 fellowship

00:25:04.259 --> 00:25:04.579
 with

00:25:04.579 --> 00:25:05.019
 him

00:25:05.019 --> 00:25:06.119
 as

00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:06.679
 sons.

00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:07.919
 Ladies,

00:25:08.019 --> 00:25:08.240
 you want

00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:08.460
 to be

00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:08.779
 sons.

00:25:08.899 --> 00:25:09.099
 Sons

00:25:09.099 --> 00:25:09.439
 get all

00:25:09.439 --> 00:25:09.659
 of the

00:25:09.659 --> 00:25:10.059
 inheritance.

00:25:10.379 --> 00:25:10.679
 This is

00:25:10.679 --> 00:25:10.960
 Bible

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:11.379
 language,

00:25:11.500 --> 00:25:11.720
 so just

00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:12.179
 accept it.

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:12.480
 It's

00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:12.980
 fine.

00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:16.240
 Now,

00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:16.720
 at times,

00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:17.299
 I am,

00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:17.839
 and I

00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:18.779
 hope it

00:25:18.779 --> 00:25:19.119
 presents

00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:19.659
 itself as

00:25:19.659 --> 00:25:19.879
 humble,

00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:20.220
 because

00:25:20.220 --> 00:25:20.539
 they're

00:25:20.539 --> 00:25:20.939
 the

00:25:20.939 --> 00:25:21.639
 translators.

00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:21.759
 I

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:21.839
 just

00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:22.000
 think,

00:25:22.099 --> 00:25:22.399
 ah,

00:25:22.879 --> 00:25:23.059
 I

00:25:23.059 --> 00:25:23.700
 could

00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:23.779
 have

00:25:23.779 --> 00:25:23.980
 gotten

00:25:23.980 --> 00:25:24.119
 that

00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:24.299
 a

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:24.460
 little

00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:24.799
 bit

00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:25.740
 better.

00:25:26.259 --> 00:25:26.460
 But

00:25:26.460 --> 00:25:26.720
 here,

00:25:26.819 --> 00:25:26.859
 I

00:25:26.859 --> 00:25:27.159
 want to

00:25:27.159 --> 00:25:27.859
 commend

00:25:27.859 --> 00:25:28.219
 them

00:25:28.219 --> 00:25:28.519
 on

00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:28.719
 their

00:25:28.719 --> 00:25:29.479
 punctuation

00:25:29.479 --> 00:25:29.699
 of

00:25:29.699 --> 00:25:29.859
 these

00:25:29.859 --> 00:25:30.059
 two

00:25:30.059 --> 00:25:30.319
 verses.

00:25:30.439 --> 00:25:30.519
 I

00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:30.719
 think

00:25:30.719 --> 00:25:31.019
 it's

00:25:31.019 --> 00:25:31.599
 just

00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:32.979
 right.

00:25:33.439 --> 00:25:33.639
 He

00:25:33.639 --> 00:25:33.939
 says,

00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:34.119
 the

00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:34.479
 slave

00:25:34.479 --> 00:25:34.659
 does

00:25:34.659 --> 00:25:34.819
 not

00:25:34.819 --> 00:25:35.079
 remain

00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:35.199
 in

00:25:35.199 --> 00:25:35.259
 the

00:25:35.259 --> 00:25:35.459
 house

00:25:35.459 --> 00:25:35.839
 forever.

00:25:36.459 --> 00:25:36.619
 The

00:25:36.619 --> 00:25:37.240
 son,

00:25:37.379 --> 00:25:37.759
 lower

00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:38.259
 case,

00:25:38.399 --> 00:25:38.559
 the

00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:39.240
 son

00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:40.719
 remains

00:25:40.719 --> 00:25:41.759
 forever.

00:25:41.859 --> 00:25:41.919
 And

00:25:41.919 --> 00:25:42.199
 for those

00:25:42.199 --> 00:25:42.419
 of us

00:25:42.419 --> 00:25:42.539
 in

00:25:42.539 --> 00:25:42.819
 Christ,

00:25:42.899 --> 00:25:42.959
 I

00:25:42.959 --> 00:25:43.059
 think

00:25:43.059 --> 00:25:43.159
 we

00:25:43.159 --> 00:25:43.279
 should

00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:43.599
 find

00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:43.979
 ourselves

00:25:43.979 --> 00:25:44.359
 right

00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:44.779
 there.

00:25:45.479 --> 00:25:46.099
 Set

00:25:46.099 --> 00:25:46.799
 free

00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:47.699
 from

00:25:47.699 --> 00:25:47.839
 the

00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:48.119
 power

00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:48.359
 of

00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:48.719
 sin,

00:25:49.159 --> 00:25:49.779
 now

00:25:49.779 --> 00:25:51.119
 justified,

00:25:51.719 --> 00:25:52.359
 adopted,

00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:53.459
 a

00:25:53.459 --> 00:25:54.119
 son

00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:54.779
 who

00:25:54.779 --> 00:25:55.779
 remains

00:25:55.779 --> 00:25:57.519
 forever.

00:25:57.859 --> 00:25:58.619
 And

00:25:58.619 --> 00:25:58.799
 then

00:25:58.799 --> 00:25:59.159
 note

00:25:59.159 --> 00:25:59.719
 who

00:25:59.719 --> 00:26:00.519
 accomplishes

00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:00.819
 that

00:26:00.819 --> 00:26:01.500
 work,

00:26:01.719 --> 00:26:01.899
 right?

00:26:02.019 --> 00:26:02.319
 By

00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:02.740
 grace,

00:26:03.019 --> 00:26:03.199
 through

00:26:03.199 --> 00:26:03.659
 faith,

00:26:04.299 --> 00:26:04.599
 in

00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:05.099
 Christ.

00:26:05.699 --> 00:26:06.179
 So,

00:26:06.379 --> 00:26:06.619
 if

00:26:06.619 --> 00:26:07.279
 the

00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:08.079
 son,

00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:08.539
 capital

00:26:08.539 --> 00:26:08.799
 S,

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:09.219
 the

00:26:09.219 --> 00:26:09.779
 son

00:26:09.779 --> 00:26:10.899
 sets

00:26:10.899 --> 00:26:11.079
 you

00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:11.599
 free,

00:26:12.379 --> 00:26:12.659
 you

00:26:12.659 --> 00:26:12.799
 will

00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:12.979
 be

00:26:12.979 --> 00:26:13.539
 free

00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:15.399
 indeed.

00:26:16.479 --> 00:26:17.099
 Indeed.

00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:17.859
 Really,

00:26:18.579 --> 00:26:19.459
 truly

00:26:19.459 --> 00:26:21.259
 free.

00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:21.919
 Right?

00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:22.339
 Not

00:26:22.339 --> 00:26:22.779
 some

00:26:22.779 --> 00:26:23.719
 flawed

00:26:23.719 --> 00:26:24.399
 facsimile

00:26:24.399 --> 00:26:24.639
 of

00:26:24.639 --> 00:26:24.939
 freedom,

00:26:25.099 --> 00:26:25.240
 a

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:25.819
 real

00:26:25.819 --> 00:26:26.679
 freedom.

00:26:26.919 --> 00:26:27.359
 Free

00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:28.740
 indeed.

00:26:30.699 --> 00:26:31.240
 If

00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:31.419
 this

00:26:31.419 --> 00:26:31.859
 thought

00:26:31.859 --> 00:26:32.419
 doesn't

00:26:32.419 --> 00:26:33.099
 enliven

00:26:33.099 --> 00:26:33.299
 your

00:26:33.299 --> 00:26:33.699
 mind

00:26:33.699 --> 00:26:33.919
 and

00:26:33.919 --> 00:26:34.199
 warm

00:26:34.199 --> 00:26:34.379
 your

00:26:34.379 --> 00:26:34.719
 heart,

00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:36.159
 then I

00:26:36.159 --> 00:26:36.479
 fear that

00:26:36.479 --> 00:26:36.679
 you have

00:26:36.679 --> 00:26:37.039
 never

00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:37.740
 really

00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:38.319
 felt

00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:38.679
 the

00:26:38.679 --> 00:26:39.179
 weight

00:26:39.179 --> 00:26:40.319
 of

00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:40.439
 your

00:26:40.439 --> 00:26:40.839
 captivity

00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:41.119
 to

00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:41.319
 sin.

00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:42.579
 Whether

00:26:42.579 --> 00:26:43.059
 former

00:26:43.059 --> 00:26:43.359
 or

00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:43.839
 present

00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:44.339
 captivity

00:26:44.339 --> 00:26:44.659
 to

00:26:44.659 --> 00:26:44.859
 sin,

00:26:44.959 --> 00:26:45.139
 you've

00:26:45.139 --> 00:26:45.359
 never

00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:45.899
 really

00:26:45.899 --> 00:26:47.059
 comprehended

00:26:47.059 --> 00:26:48.319
 what an

00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:48.899
 offense it

00:26:48.899 --> 00:26:49.199
 is to

00:26:49.199 --> 00:26:49.599
 God

00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:51.319
 and how

00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:52.159
 ensnaring

00:26:52.159 --> 00:26:52.839
 it can

00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:53.199
 be.

00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:54.779
 you

00:26:54.779 --> 00:26:54.960
 have

00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:55.519
 difficulty

00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:56.120
 identifying

00:26:56.120 --> 00:26:56.500
 with

00:26:56.500 --> 00:26:56.880
 Paul

00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:57.160
 at the

00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:57.580
 conclusion

00:26:57.580 --> 00:26:57.960
 of

00:26:57.960 --> 00:26:58.360
 Romans

00:26:58.360 --> 00:26:59.019
 7

00:26:59.019 --> 00:26:59.480
 and

00:26:59.480 --> 00:26:59.759
 into

00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:00.220
 8.

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:01.100
 And

00:27:01.100 --> 00:27:01.400
 yes,

00:27:01.500 --> 00:27:01.660
 I

00:27:01.660 --> 00:27:02.240
 believe,

00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:02.640
 I

00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:03.019
 believe

00:27:03.019 --> 00:27:03.240
 with

00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:04.059
 fervency

00:27:04.059 --> 00:27:04.259
 that

00:27:04.259 --> 00:27:04.460
 Paul

00:27:04.460 --> 00:27:04.620
 is

00:27:04.620 --> 00:27:04.900
 talking

00:27:04.900 --> 00:27:05.160
 about

00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:05.380
 his

00:27:05.380 --> 00:27:06.160
 present

00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:06.960
 set

00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:07.360
 free

00:27:07.360 --> 00:27:07.759
 from

00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:08.259
 sin

00:27:08.259 --> 00:27:09.580
 state.

00:27:09.700 --> 00:27:09.880
 Just

00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:10.319
 spiritual.

00:27:10.539 --> 00:27:10.880
 But I

00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:11.180
 am of

00:27:11.180 --> 00:27:11.360
 the

00:27:11.360 --> 00:27:11.779
 flesh

00:27:11.779 --> 00:27:13.340
 sold

00:27:13.340 --> 00:27:13.700
 under

00:27:13.700 --> 00:27:14.120
 sin.

00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:15.400
 For

00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:15.480
 I

00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:15.600
 do

00:27:15.600 --> 00:27:15.740
 not

00:27:15.740 --> 00:27:16.140
 understand

00:27:16.140 --> 00:27:16.360
 my

00:27:16.360 --> 00:27:16.580
 own

00:27:16.580 --> 00:27:17.080
 actions.

00:27:17.259 --> 00:27:17.319
 For

00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:17.480
 I

00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:17.660
 do

00:27:17.660 --> 00:27:17.880
 not

00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:18.200
 do

00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:18.420
 what

00:27:18.420 --> 00:27:18.559
 I

00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:18.880
 want,

00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:19.160
 but I

00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:19.319
 do

00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:19.519
 the

00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:19.819
 very

00:27:19.819 --> 00:27:20.259
 thing

00:27:20.259 --> 00:27:20.620
 I

00:27:20.620 --> 00:27:21.240
 hate.

00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:22.440
 Now,

00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:22.599
 if I

00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:22.759
 do

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:22.900
 what

00:27:22.900 --> 00:27:23.019
 I

00:27:23.019 --> 00:27:23.160
 do

00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:23.359
 not

00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:23.660
 want,

00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:23.859
 I

00:27:23.859 --> 00:27:24.039
 agree

00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:24.180
 with

00:27:24.180 --> 00:27:24.319
 the

00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:24.599
 law,

00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:24.839
 that

00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:24.940
 it

00:27:24.940 --> 00:27:25.059
 is

00:27:25.059 --> 00:27:25.440
 good.

00:27:26.220 --> 00:27:26.339
 So

00:27:26.339 --> 00:27:26.460
 now,

00:27:26.500 --> 00:27:26.579
 it's

00:27:26.579 --> 00:27:26.700
 no

00:27:26.700 --> 00:27:26.960
 longer

00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:27.279
 I

00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:27.440
 who

00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:27.620
 do

00:27:27.620 --> 00:27:27.740
 it,

00:27:27.779 --> 00:27:27.900
 but

00:27:27.900 --> 00:27:28.339
 sin

00:27:28.339 --> 00:27:28.620
 that

00:27:28.620 --> 00:27:29.099
 dwells

00:27:29.099 --> 00:27:29.440
 within

00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:29.819
 me.

00:27:30.339 --> 00:27:30.640
 For

00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:30.740
 I

00:27:30.740 --> 00:27:30.880
 know

00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:31.039
 that

00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:31.460
 nothing

00:27:31.460 --> 00:27:31.779
 good

00:27:31.779 --> 00:27:32.120
 dwells

00:27:32.120 --> 00:27:32.220
 in

00:27:32.220 --> 00:27:32.319
 me,

00:27:32.380 --> 00:27:32.500
 that

00:27:32.500 --> 00:27:32.660
 is

00:27:32.660 --> 00:27:32.839
 in

00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:33.039
 my

00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:33.539
 flesh.

00:27:33.539 --> 00:27:33.759
 For

00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:33.839
 I

00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:33.960
 have

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:34.099
 the

00:27:34.099 --> 00:27:34.519
 desire

00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:34.700
 to

00:27:34.700 --> 00:27:34.819
 do

00:27:34.819 --> 00:27:34.940
 what

00:27:34.940 --> 00:27:35.079
 is

00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:35.299
 right,

00:27:35.380 --> 00:27:35.460
 but

00:27:35.460 --> 00:27:35.700
 not

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:35.880
 the

00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:36.279
 ability

 death.

00:28:41.299 --> 00:28:42.059
 If

00:28:42.059 --> 00:28:42.180
 you

00:28:42.180 --> 00:28:42.659
 have

00:28:42.659 --> 00:28:44.039

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:51.120
 free

00:28:51.120 --> 00:28:52.640
 indeed.

00:28:53.380 --> 00:28:53.840
 Truly

 Really

 Thine

 I

00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:18.580
 woke

00:29:18.580 --> 00:29:19.120
 the

00:29:21.980 --> 00:29:22.120
 My

 chains

00:29:22.660 --> 00:29:22.920
 fell

 free

00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:25.640
 I

00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:26.220
 rose

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:26.940
 went

00:29:26.940 --> 00:29:27.500
 forth

00:29:27.500 --> 00:29:28.900
 and

00:29:28.900 --> 00:29:29.299
 followed

00:29:29.299 --> 00:29:29.640
 thee.

00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:31.799
 So

00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:32.039
 Jesus

00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:32.500
 presents

 freedom.

00:29:38.660 --> 00:29:39.279
 When we

00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:39.960
 believe

00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:40.360
 in

00:29:40.819 --> 00:29:41.019

 so

00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:41.880
 evidence

00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:42.180
 that

 faith

00:29:42.579 --> 00:29:43.779

00:29:43.779 --> 00:29:43.880
 the

00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:43.980
 way

00:29:43.980 --> 00:29:44.100
 that

00:29:44.100 --> 00:29:44.220
 we

00:29:44.220 --> 00:29:44.660
 live.

00:29:46.420 --> 00:29:46.860
 A

00:29:46.860 --> 00:29:47.120
 second

00:29:47.539 --> 00:29:47.900
 and

00:29:47.900 --> 00:29:48.039
 we'll

00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:48.319
 move

00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:49.200
 fairly

00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:49.519
 quickly

00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:49.759
 through

00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:49.980
 this.

00:29:50.059 --> 00:29:50.100
 I

00:29:50.100 --> 00:29:50.259
 think

00:29:50.259 --> 00:29:50.380
 I'll

00:29:50.380 --> 00:29:50.559
 pick

00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:50.700
 up

00:29:50.700 --> 00:29:50.840
 some

00:29:50.840 --> 00:29:50.920
 of

00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:51.059
 this

00:29:51.059 --> 00:29:51.440
 language

00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:51.640
 the

00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:51.840
 next

00:29:51.840 --> 00:29:52.079
 time

00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:52.240
 we're

00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:52.440
 in

00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:52.759
 John

00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:54.039
 together.

00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:54.660
 It

00:29:54.660 --> 00:29:55.259
 builds

00:29:55.259 --> 00:29:55.500
 as

00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:55.660
 the

00:29:55.660 --> 00:29:55.980
 chapter

00:29:55.980 --> 00:29:56.519
 proceeds

00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:56.840
 on.

00:29:56.980 --> 00:29:57.019
 So

00:29:57.019 --> 00:29:57.120
 if

00:29:57.120 --> 00:29:57.240
 this

00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:57.360
 is

00:29:57.360 --> 00:29:58.160
 unsatisfying

00:29:58.160 --> 00:29:58.680
 to

00:29:58.680 --> 00:29:58.960
 you

00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:00.579
 I

00:30:00.579 --> 00:30:00.819
 hope

00:30:00.819 --> 00:30:01.340
 perhaps

00:30:01.340 --> 00:30:01.640
 I'll

00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:01.779
 come

00:30:01.779 --> 00:30:02.039
 back

00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:03.140
 to

00:30:03.140 --> 00:30:03.380
 it.

00:30:03.900 --> 00:30:04.019
 We

00:30:04.019 --> 00:30:04.160
 see

00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:04.579
 secondly

00:30:04.579 --> 00:30:04.579


00:30:04.940 --> 00:30:05.059
 the

00:30:05.059 --> 00:30:07.019
 pretense

00:30:07.019 --> 00:30:07.039
!

00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:07.519
 the

00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:08.619
 pretending

00:30:08.619 --> 00:30:08.940
 or

00:30:08.940 --> 00:30:09.420
 the

00:30:09.420 --> 00:30:10.220
 shamming

00:30:10.220 --> 00:30:10.779
 of

00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:11.740
 freedom

00:30:11.740 --> 00:30:12.059
 the

00:30:12.059 --> 00:30:13.039
 putting

00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:13.480
 on

00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:14.200
 as if

00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:14.680
 it's

00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:15.119
 true

00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:15.619
 when

00:30:15.619 --> 00:30:16.019
 it's

00:30:16.019 --> 00:30:17.139
 not.

00:30:18.099 --> 00:30:18.379
 Notice

00:30:18.379 --> 00:30:18.579
 verse

00:30:18.579 --> 00:30:19.180
 33

00:30:19.180 --> 00:30:19.740
 they

00:30:19.740 --> 00:30:20.220
 answered

00:30:20.220 --> 00:30:20.720
 him

00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:21.279
 to

00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:21.579
 this

00:30:21.579 --> 00:30:22.200
 the

00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:22.559
 truth

00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:22.839
 will

00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:23.119
 set

00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:23.279
 you

00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:23.680
 free

00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:25.019
 they

00:30:25.019 --> 00:30:25.379
 say

00:30:25.379 --> 00:30:25.599
 we

00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:25.740
 are

00:30:25.740 --> 00:30:26.379
 offspring

00:30:26.379 --> 00:30:26.639
 of

00:30:26.639 --> 00:30:27.059
 Abraham

00:30:27.059 --> 00:30:27.379
 and

00:30:27.379 --> 00:30:27.519
 have

00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:27.920
 never

00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:28.240
 been

00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:28.940
 enslaved

00:30:28.940 --> 00:30:29.220
 to

00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:29.740
 anyone

00:30:29.740 --> 00:30:30.980
 how

00:30:30.980 --> 00:30:31.180
 is

00:30:31.180 --> 00:30:31.259
 it

00:30:31.259 --> 00:30:31.379
 that

00:30:31.379 --> 00:30:31.500
 you

00:30:31.500 --> 00:30:31.859
 say

00:30:31.859 --> 00:30:32.879
 you

00:30:32.879 --> 00:30:33.019
 will

00:30:33.019 --> 00:30:33.319
 become

00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:33.779
 free?

00:30:35.059 --> 00:30:35.700
 Now

00:30:35.700 --> 00:30:36.259
 the

00:30:36.259 --> 00:30:36.680
 Israelites

00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:37.160
 have

00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:37.299
 been

00:30:37.299 --> 00:30:38.060
 enslaved

00:30:38.060 --> 00:30:39.140
 by

00:30:39.140 --> 00:30:40.039
 Egypt

00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:40.980
 Syria

00:30:40.980 --> 00:30:42.380
 Babylon

00:30:42.380 --> 00:30:43.440
 Medo

00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:43.940
 Persia

00:30:43.940 --> 00:30:44.880
 Greece

00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:45.860
 Syria

00:30:45.860 --> 00:30:46.759
 and

00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:47.039
 at

00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:47.180
 the

00:30:47.180 --> 00:30:47.480
 time

00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:47.640
 of

00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:47.820
 this

00:30:47.820 --> 00:30:48.580
 exchange

00:30:48.580 --> 00:30:49.400
 by

00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:49.759
 Rome

00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:51.940
 undoubtedly

00:30:51.940 --> 00:30:52.259
 no

00:30:52.259 --> 00:30:52.640
 debate

00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:53.000
 about

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:53.480
 they

00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:53.900
 were

00:30:53.900 --> 00:30:55.759
 enslaved

00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:57.539
 so

00:30:57.539 --> 00:30:57.660
 they

00:30:57.660 --> 00:30:57.860
 must

00:30:57.860 --> 00:30:58.019
 not

00:30:58.019 --> 00:30:58.100
 have

00:30:58.100 --> 00:30:58.240
 been

00:30:58.240 --> 00:30:58.660
 referring

00:30:58.660 --> 00:30:58.960
 to

00:30:58.960 --> 00:30:59.720
 physical

00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:00.519
 enslavement

00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:00.700
 when

00:31:00.700 --> 00:31:00.840
 they

00:31:00.840 --> 00:31:01.080
 say

00:31:01.080 --> 00:31:01.299
 this

00:31:01.299 --> 00:31:01.460
 but

00:31:01.460 --> 00:31:01.960
 rather

00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:03.240
 spiritual

00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:04.320
 enslavement

00:31:04.320 --> 00:31:05.400
 this

00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:05.519
 is

00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:05.799
 important

00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:05.940
 to

00:31:05.940 --> 00:31:06.100
 note

00:31:06.099 --> 00:31:06.339
 because

00:31:06.339 --> 00:31:06.519
 what

00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:06.619
 is

00:31:06.619 --> 00:31:06.959
 happening

00:31:06.959 --> 00:31:07.219
 here

00:31:07.219 --> 00:31:07.419
 is

00:31:07.419 --> 00:31:07.699
 not

00:31:07.699 --> 00:31:07.879
 a

00:31:07.879 --> 00:31:08.379
 confusion

00:31:08.379 --> 00:31:08.939
 of

00:31:08.939 --> 00:31:10.179
 terms

00:31:10.179 --> 00:31:11.299
 Jesus

00:31:11.299 --> 00:31:11.619
 isn't

00:31:11.619 --> 00:31:11.799
 just

00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:12.219
 talking

00:31:12.219 --> 00:31:12.759
 past

00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:13.139
 them

00:31:13.139 --> 00:31:13.859
 leaving

00:31:13.859 --> 00:31:14.079
 them

00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:14.419
 scratching

00:31:14.419 --> 00:31:14.639
 their

00:31:14.639 --> 00:31:15.039
 head

00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:15.519
 right

00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:15.939
 he's

00:31:15.939 --> 00:31:16.059
 not

00:31:16.059 --> 00:31:16.379
 talking

00:31:16.379 --> 00:31:16.599
 on

00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:17.019
 one

00:31:17.019 --> 00:31:17.719
 level

00:31:17.719 --> 00:31:18.279
 and

00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:18.579
 them

00:31:18.579 --> 00:31:19.079
 on

00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:20.059
 another

00:31:20.059 --> 00:31:21.439
 they

00:31:21.439 --> 00:31:21.879
 fully

00:31:21.879 --> 00:31:22.740
 understand

00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:23.039
 the

00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:23.419
 spiritual

00:31:23.419 --> 00:31:23.939
 nature

00:31:23.939 --> 00:31:24.259
 of

00:31:24.259 --> 00:31:24.439
 what

00:31:24.439 --> 00:31:24.779
 Jesus

00:31:24.779 --> 00:31:26.079
 is

00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:26.539
 saying

00:31:26.539 --> 00:31:27.500
 and

00:31:27.500 --> 00:31:27.759
 yet

00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:28.619
 they're

00:31:28.619 --> 00:31:28.759
 in

00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:28.939
 this

00:31:28.939 --> 00:31:29.500
 debate

00:31:29.500 --> 00:31:29.959
 with

00:31:29.959 --> 00:31:30.159
 him

00:31:30.159 --> 00:31:31.439
 he

00:31:31.439 --> 00:31:32.000
 reinforces

00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:32.140
 I

00:31:32.140 --> 00:31:32.319
 say

00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:32.539
 to

00:31:32.539 --> 00:31:32.900
 you

00:31:32.900 --> 00:31:33.740
 everyone

00:31:33.740 --> 00:31:34.099
 who

00:31:34.099 --> 00:31:34.640
 practices

00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:35.200
 sin

00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:35.539
 is

00:31:35.539 --> 00:31:35.740
 a

 slave

00:31:36.299 --> 00:31:36.920
 to

 sin

00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:38.579
 they

00:31:38.579 --> 00:31:38.700
 are

00:31:38.700 --> 00:31:39.039
 talking

00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:39.259
 about

00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:39.480
 the

00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:39.900
 same

 thing

 spiritual

00:31:41.500 --> 00:31:42.819
 enslavement

00:31:42.819 --> 00:31:43.599
 you need

00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:43.859
 to be

00:31:43.859 --> 00:31:44.160
 set

00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:44.579
 free

00:31:44.579 --> 00:31:45.200
 we don't

00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:45.319
 need

00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:45.519
 to be

00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:45.740
 set

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:46.059
 free

00:31:46.059 --> 00:31:46.500
 we're

00:31:46.500 --> 00:31:46.680
 not

00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:47.019
 slaves

00:31:47.019 --> 00:31:47.180
 to

 sin

00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:47.859
 yes

00:31:47.859 --> 00:31:48.119
 you

00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:48.619
 are

 Nathan's

00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:50.920
 summary

00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:51.700
 of it

00:31:51.700 --> 00:31:53.460
 clearly

00:31:53.460 --> 00:31:54.259
 we see

00:31:54.259 --> 00:31:54.640
 what's

00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:54.799
 going

00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:55.200
 on

00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:55.460
 here

00:31:55.460 --> 00:31:55.579
 is

00:31:55.579 --> 00:31:55.700
 the

00:31:55.700 --> 00:31:56.200
 very

00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:57.019
 opposite
