00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
 We're continuing our study of Romans, chapter 2.

00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:10.060
 You guys want to grab a copy of God's Word and turn to Romans, chapter 2.

00:00:10.060 --> 00:00:11.060
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.719
 His Word reads,

00:00:34.859 --> 00:00:37.960
 For God shows no partiality.

00:00:38.519 --> 00:00:44.259
 For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law.

00:00:44.859 --> 00:00:49.179
 And all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.560
 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God,

00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.100
 but the doers of the law who will be justified.

00:00:56.100 --> 00:01:02.240
 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law by nature, do what the law requires,

00:01:02.859 --> 00:01:07.500
 they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:11.719
 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts,

00:01:12.019 --> 00:01:14.780
 while their conscience also bears witness.

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:21.159
 And their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them on that day when,

00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.460
 according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men,

00:01:25.459 --> 00:01:27.219
 by Christ Jesus.

00:01:28.219 --> 00:01:29.239
 Let's pray together.

00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.739
 Father, You must increase and I must decrease this morning.

00:01:35.699 --> 00:01:37.059
 God, I pray, I plead,

00:01:37.379 --> 00:01:41.000
 that I decrease so much that there is none of me left up here this morning.

00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.819
 What is spoken will be Your words to Your people,

00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:47.280
 to Your church.

00:01:48.099 --> 00:01:52.479
 God, that if somebody is in here who does not know You,

00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.460
 they would hear Your word for the very first time this morning.

00:01:56.600 --> 00:02:00.000
 They would repent and believe in You.

00:02:00.500 --> 00:02:01.680
 God, I plead,

00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.480
 I beg that Your Holy Spirit would continue to move in our hearts.

00:02:06.180 --> 00:02:09.800
 God, that You have prepared our hearts to hear a word from You.

00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:11.980
 And the words that are spoken are Your words.

00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:14.219
 And that combination leaves us different,

00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.020
 leaves us changed this morning.

00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:19.340
 We pray all this in Jesus' name.

00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:20.080
 Amen.

00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:25.439
 As a parent, I love justice.

00:02:25.740 --> 00:02:26.840
 I look for justice.

00:02:27.340 --> 00:02:29.760
 If I'm dishing out cereal to my kids,

00:02:29.820 --> 00:02:31.280
 I try to even it out.

00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.680
 If I give them one candy bar,

00:02:33.740 --> 00:02:35.480
 I'm going to give each one a candy bar.

00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:37.379
 I just, I do it.

00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.840
 And even with four or five or six kids in my house,

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.939
 I try to do that.

00:02:44.219 --> 00:02:46.000
 I've learned it's not always going to happen.

00:02:46.939 --> 00:02:48.659
 Jamie's really quick to teach me that

00:02:48.659 --> 00:02:50.480
 we don't need to always be fair.

00:02:51.819 --> 00:02:53.599
 But I strive for it.

00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:55.700
 If there's six Skittles,

00:02:55.819 --> 00:02:57.180
 I'm giving everybody six Skittles.

00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.020
 If there's two green, two red, two yellow,

00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:00.699
 I'm going to try to do the same thing.

00:03:01.460 --> 00:03:03.539
 Have you guys seen a picture of Lady Justice,

00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:05.620
 a picture or a statue of Lady Justice?

00:03:05.780 --> 00:03:07.280
 There's different statues,

00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:08.199
 different little pictures,

00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:09.620
 but they're all about the same thing.

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.719
 Lady Justice has a blindfold on.

00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:14.900
 Her eyes are covered.

00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:16.599
 She has a scale in one hand

00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:17.680
 and a sword in another.

00:03:19.140 --> 00:03:21.319
 She weighs the evidence

00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:22.840
 and she's blindfolded to show

00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:24.780
 that she is impartial to anything

00:03:24.780 --> 00:03:25.700
 or anybody else.

00:03:25.819 --> 00:03:27.439
 That what is going to decide

00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:29.939
 and what is going to show justice

00:03:29.939 --> 00:03:32.319
 is the evidence on the scale.

00:03:32.699 --> 00:03:33.800
 And the sword is to represent

00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:35.280
 that she's going to fight to the end

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.039
 to proclaim justice

00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:39.319
 based on evidence alone.

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.200
 She's a great picture of impartiality.

00:03:44.500 --> 00:03:46.840
 Does not show any favoritism.

00:03:47.539 --> 00:03:49.620
 Now, of course, we're in a sinful world

00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:51.939
 and sinful men and women are in charge

00:03:51.939 --> 00:03:54.500
 and responsible for bringing justice sometimes.

00:03:54.659 --> 00:03:55.860
 So that doesn't happen all the time

00:03:55.860 --> 00:03:56.819
 in our world.

00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.719
 But the picture is supposed to illustrate

00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.400
 that she can be impartial.

00:04:02.180 --> 00:04:03.879
 This morning, verse 11 tells us

00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.939
 that God shows no partiality.

00:04:06.939 --> 00:04:09.579
 Our Heavenly Father, who is a judge,

00:04:09.579 --> 00:04:11.099
 is impartial.

00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.799
 He shows no favoritism.

00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.199
 He takes no bribes.

00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:20.740
 He judges based alone on His righteousness.

00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:26.699
 Our God shows no partiality.

00:04:26.699 --> 00:04:29.759
 So everyone, no matter what,

00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:32.420
 everyone will be judged.

00:04:33.420 --> 00:04:36.579
 And of course, if you read back last week's study,

00:04:36.660 --> 00:04:38.759
 we did 6 through 11 or 6 through 10.

00:04:38.980 --> 00:04:39.860
 We touched on that,

00:04:39.900 --> 00:04:41.319
 that everyone will be judged.

00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.240
 Well, this morning,

00:04:43.899 --> 00:04:47.420
 all of mankind are going to be judged

00:04:47.420 --> 00:04:49.199
 based on God's impartiality.

00:04:49.779 --> 00:04:52.379
 And verse 12 kind of lays that out for us.

00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.339
 For all who have sinned without the law

00:04:54.339 --> 00:04:57.300
 will also perish without the law.

00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.439
 So you have those that are without the law

00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.819
 who sin are going to perish without the law.

00:05:02.659 --> 00:05:04.539
 And all those who have sinned under the law

00:05:04.539 --> 00:05:06.259
 will be judged by the law.

00:05:06.379 --> 00:05:10.039
 So we have two groups encompassing all of mankind

00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.040
 covered under this one sentence.

00:05:12.900 --> 00:05:14.840
 Just think how big God is

00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:16.000
 for that statement to be true.

00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.360
 That all of mankind will be judged

00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:22.800
 based on whether they're with the law

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.140
 or without the law.

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.520
 Under the law or without the law.

00:05:28.740 --> 00:05:29.720
 Using that language.

00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.439
 All of mankind, dead and alive.

00:05:33.820 --> 00:05:35.000
 Throughout all of history,

00:05:35.460 --> 00:05:36.740
 past to future time,

00:05:36.840 --> 00:05:37.759
 today and yesterday,

00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.199
 all of mankind will be judged.

00:05:41.420 --> 00:05:42.420
 The guy who said

00:05:42.420 --> 00:05:43.939
 we're going to have a rapture yesterday

00:05:43.939 --> 00:05:45.079
 will be judged.

00:05:46.039 --> 00:05:47.920
 Everyone will be judged.

00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:49.980
 And God will show no,

00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:52.659
 or God will show no partiality

00:05:52.659 --> 00:05:54.959
 to all mankind,

00:05:55.099 --> 00:05:56.079
 which means you have no,

00:05:56.740 --> 00:05:58.399
 show no favoritism.

00:05:58.500 --> 00:06:00.759
 You cannot earn justice.

00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:03.000
 His evidence or your evidence

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.360
 will speak for itself.

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.100
 The fact,

00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.759
 the truth of verse 11,

00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:14.379
 that God shows no partiality,

00:06:14.460 --> 00:06:15.680
 if we are Christians,

00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:16.580
 if we are believers,

00:06:17.020 --> 00:06:19.300
 should humble us to know

00:06:19.300 --> 00:06:21.960
 that we're under that judgment

00:06:21.960 --> 00:06:24.800
 and yet still made righteous in Christ.

00:06:25.300 --> 00:06:27.100
 The grace that God has shown us.

00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:28.680
 We should be humbled

00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:29.939
 when we read that statement.

00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:31.980
 If you're not a believer this morning,

00:06:31.980 --> 00:06:32.960
 you should be scared.

00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.200
 Can't say it any other way.

00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:36.620
 You should fear

00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:38.060
 what is going to happen

00:06:38.060 --> 00:06:38.920
 because everyone

00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:40.120
 will be judged

00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:40.900
 based on a God

00:06:40.900 --> 00:06:42.020
 who is impartial.

00:06:43.860 --> 00:06:44.300
 So,

00:06:44.460 --> 00:06:45.920
 Paul kind of breaks it up

00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:46.640
 into two groups

00:06:46.640 --> 00:06:47.460
 in verse 12.

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:48.759
 Those who have sinned

00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:49.500
 without the law

00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:51.259
 and those who have sinned

00:06:51.259 --> 00:06:52.000
 under the law.

00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.360
 So let's go with the first part.

00:06:54.460 --> 00:06:55.220
 Those who have sinned

00:06:55.220 --> 00:06:56.220
 without the law

00:06:56.220 --> 00:06:57.660
 will also perish

00:06:57.660 --> 00:06:58.780
 without the law.

00:06:59.140 --> 00:07:00.379
 These would be the Gentiles,

00:07:00.379 --> 00:07:01.259
 the pagans,

00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.040
 everyone who is not Jewish.

00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:04.620
 And I know we've touched on that before.

00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:06.279
 Paul keeps repeating it

00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:07.279
 in chapter 2.

00:07:07.779 --> 00:07:08.899
 He'll repeat it again

00:07:08.899 --> 00:07:09.740
 in chapter 4.

00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:14.719
 See, the Jews were given the law

00:07:14.719 --> 00:07:15.740
 through Moses.

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.279
 And we talked about the law

00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:18.180
 in our confessions.

00:07:19.019 --> 00:07:20.480
 The law was the rule.

00:07:21.019 --> 00:07:23.159
 And it was what they most zealously followed.

00:07:24.719 --> 00:07:26.019
 And as we know of history,

00:07:26.019 --> 00:07:26.519
 eventually,

00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:28.959
 Jewish people started

00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:30.979
 following the law

00:07:30.979 --> 00:07:31.779
 above

00:07:31.779 --> 00:07:32.759
 or in front of

00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:33.699
 following God.

00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:34.959
 So they thought,

00:07:35.099 --> 00:07:36.459
 if I could just follow these rules,

00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.079
 then I would be good with God.

00:07:38.799 --> 00:07:39.839
 And we know

00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:41.959
 based on all of Scripture

00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:43.399
 that that is not true.

00:07:44.060 --> 00:07:44.859
 We know now

00:07:44.859 --> 00:07:46.500
 we have to be born again.

00:07:46.799 --> 00:07:47.740
 And following the law

00:07:47.740 --> 00:07:48.740
 is secondary

00:07:48.740 --> 00:07:49.479
 to knowing

00:07:49.479 --> 00:07:51.180
 and being a follower of Christ.

00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:55.400
 So the law then becomes

00:07:55.400 --> 00:07:56.000
 secondary

00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:57.079
 to the primary,

00:07:57.300 --> 00:07:58.240
 which is Christ.

00:08:00.280 --> 00:08:02.319
 Galatians 3.24 says,

00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:03.860
 So then the law

00:08:03.860 --> 00:08:05.000
 was our guardian

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.720
 until Christ came

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:07.759
 in order

00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:08.899
 that we might be justified

00:08:08.899 --> 00:08:10.399
 by faith.

00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:11.720
 It was our guardian.

00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:12.840
 He kind of nudged us.

00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:14.120
 The law kind of helped us,

00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:15.860
 pointing us towards Christ.

00:08:16.899 --> 00:08:18.480
 That was the point of the law.

00:08:18.840 --> 00:08:19.600
 So we have this

00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.360
 in the Old Testament,

00:08:22.460 --> 00:08:23.439
 the law was the point

00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:24.300
 as to Christ.

00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:25.220
 In the New Testament,

00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:26.240
 Christ

00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.220
 and out of Christ,

00:08:28.420 --> 00:08:29.720
 we follow the law.

00:08:30.200 --> 00:08:31.140
 Kind of flipped it.

00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:33.920
 So in the Old Testament,

00:08:34.680 --> 00:08:35.580
 the law was the point

00:08:35.580 --> 00:08:36.060
 to somebody

00:08:36.060 --> 00:08:37.100
 who was going to fulfill the law

00:08:37.100 --> 00:08:37.980
 was going to be perfect.

00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:39.019
 And that was Christ.

00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:40.120
 In the New Testament,

00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:41.779
 we can't follow the law

00:08:41.779 --> 00:08:42.659
 without Christ.

00:08:42.659 --> 00:08:44.200
 We can't do any good

00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:45.240
 without Him.

00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:46.899
 So

00:08:46.899 --> 00:08:49.080
 if we

00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.440
 try to do good,

00:08:51.520 --> 00:08:53.020
 if we try to follow the law,

00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:53.820
 we're going to fail

00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:55.180
 because of our sinful nature.

00:08:57.980 --> 00:08:59.040
 And that nature

00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:00.240
 loves

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:01.240
 to twist it.

00:09:01.520 --> 00:09:02.460
 We love to say,

00:09:02.660 --> 00:09:03.420
 okay,

00:09:03.460 --> 00:09:04.540
 if I just do enough,

00:09:04.620 --> 00:09:05.600
 then I'll gain Christ.

00:09:05.700 --> 00:09:06.620
 If I just do enough,

00:09:06.700 --> 00:09:07.560
 then I'll gain heaven.

00:09:07.660 --> 00:09:08.379
 If I just do enough,

00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:09.540
 then I'll gain the favor

00:09:09.540 --> 00:09:10.780
 of God.

00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:11.759
 But guys,

00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.040
 it doesn't work that way.

00:09:15.140 --> 00:09:16.259
 God's Word is clear

00:09:16.259 --> 00:09:17.360
 on this subject.

00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:20.300
 The law

00:09:20.300 --> 00:09:22.420
 does not make you righteous.

00:09:25.160 --> 00:09:26.240
 Following rules

00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:26.840
 or a list

00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:27.700
 will not make you

00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:28.340
 a Christian.

00:09:29.300 --> 00:09:29.940
 And neither will

00:09:29.940 --> 00:09:31.520
 knowledge of the law.

00:09:32.340 --> 00:09:33.220
 Knowledge of the law

00:09:33.220 --> 00:09:34.379
 will not make you righteous.

00:09:36.139 --> 00:09:36.360
 You know,

00:09:36.420 --> 00:09:36.600
 we

00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:38.320
 would be part of

00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:38.720
 a

00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.280
 camp called

00:09:40.280 --> 00:09:41.400
 the Reformed Theology.

00:09:42.040 --> 00:09:43.040
 We have a lot of

00:09:43.040 --> 00:09:43.379
 arrogance

00:09:43.379 --> 00:09:44.460
 in our camp

00:09:44.460 --> 00:09:46.000
 who think that

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:46.700
 if I just gain

00:09:46.700 --> 00:09:47.480
 enough knowledge,

00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:48.720
 I'm better than that guy.

00:09:49.300 --> 00:09:50.139
 And I'm afraid

00:09:50.139 --> 00:09:50.800
 that there's guys

00:09:50.800 --> 00:09:51.639
 who think if I just

00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:52.320
 know enough,

00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:53.960
 then I will be in heaven

00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:54.920
 when it's all said

00:09:54.920 --> 00:09:55.360
 and done.

00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:57.180
 The reality is

00:09:57.180 --> 00:09:58.279
 that's not the case.

00:09:59.539 --> 00:10:00.700
 Those who practice

00:10:00.700 --> 00:10:01.320
 the law,

00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:02.180
 those who do

00:10:02.180 --> 00:10:03.240
 religious activities,

00:10:03.460 --> 00:10:05.060
 those who go to church,

00:10:05.180 --> 00:10:05.800
 those who sing

00:10:05.800 --> 00:10:06.460
 in the choir,

00:10:07.420 --> 00:10:08.399
 it's not

00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:10.340
 going to make you

00:10:10.340 --> 00:10:10.960
 a Christian,

00:10:11.560 --> 00:10:13.019
 those who

00:10:13.019 --> 00:10:14.720
 memorize the law,

00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:17.160
 memorize scripture,

00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:18.280
 memorize hymns,

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:19.960
 memorize spiritual songs,

00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:22.040
 memorize songs

00:10:22.040 --> 00:10:22.740
 on the fish

00:10:22.740 --> 00:10:23.940
 or 91.5,

00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:24.720
 it's not going

00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:25.379
 to do it.

00:10:26.680 --> 00:10:28.040
 But I'm afraid

00:10:28.040 --> 00:10:29.280
 that the Christian

00:10:29.280 --> 00:10:30.019
 church today

00:10:30.019 --> 00:10:30.940
 and a lot of churches

00:10:30.940 --> 00:10:31.800
 around here

00:10:31.800 --> 00:10:33.139
 and everywhere

00:10:33.139 --> 00:10:34.280
 is filled with people

00:10:34.280 --> 00:10:34.920
 who think

00:10:34.920 --> 00:10:36.320
 if I just do enough,

00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:38.480
 that I'm going

00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:39.040
 to be a Christian

00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:39.980
 and I'm going to be in heaven,

00:10:40.179 --> 00:10:40.779
 that I am going

00:10:40.779 --> 00:10:41.620
 to find favor

00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:43.759
 in God's eyes.

00:10:45.079 --> 00:10:45.879
 But not only

00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:46.459
 any of those,

00:10:46.539 --> 00:10:47.740
 but even a desire

00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:48.699
 to obey the law

00:10:48.699 --> 00:10:49.559
 is not going

00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:50.539
 to make you

00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:50.980
 a Christian,

00:10:51.079 --> 00:10:51.759
 is not going

00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:53.120
 to make you

00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:53.519
 righteous.

00:10:54.019 --> 00:10:54.500
 Having those

00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:55.459
 good motives

00:10:55.459 --> 00:10:56.519
 isn't going

00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:57.139
 to do it.

00:10:57.500 --> 00:10:58.279
 I have good motives

00:10:58.279 --> 00:10:58.799
 in the morning.

00:10:59.539 --> 00:11:00.019
 I can't say

00:11:00.019 --> 00:11:00.860
 all those motives

00:11:00.860 --> 00:11:01.419
 get done.

00:11:04.939 --> 00:11:05.799
 Desiring to obey

00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:06.159
 the law

00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:06.719
 isn't going

00:11:06.719 --> 00:11:07.319
 to do it.

00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:10.279
 So the question

00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:10.740
 is down

00:11:10.740 --> 00:11:12.019
 at the root

00:11:12.019 --> 00:11:13.480
 of who you are.

00:11:13.599 --> 00:11:14.360
 Down at what

00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.159
 makes you tick.

00:11:16.819 --> 00:11:17.620
 What are your

00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:18.799
 desires to do?

00:11:18.839 --> 00:11:19.939
 What drives you?

00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:22.339
 Is it just to try

00:11:22.339 --> 00:11:23.159
 to find favor

00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:23.559
 in God

00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:24.099
 so I continue

00:11:24.099 --> 00:11:25.240
 to do good things?

00:11:29.779 --> 00:11:30.599
 Why do you

00:11:30.599 --> 00:11:31.360
 do what you do?

00:11:33.779 --> 00:11:34.259
 Hearing.

00:11:35.179 --> 00:11:35.980
 Verse 12

00:11:35.980 --> 00:11:36.599
 will tell us

00:11:36.599 --> 00:11:37.000
 hearing,

00:11:37.099 --> 00:11:37.759
 or verse 13

00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:38.220
 will tell us

00:11:38.220 --> 00:11:39.299
 hearing the law

00:11:39.299 --> 00:11:43.259
 does not make

00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:43.980
 any righteous.

00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:46.539
 No one.

00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:48.319
 The word

00:11:48.319 --> 00:11:49.100
 is not someone

00:11:49.100 --> 00:11:50.279
 this word

00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:50.740
 for hearing

00:11:50.740 --> 00:11:51.299
 is not someone

00:11:51.299 --> 00:11:52.240
 who just hears,

00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:52.860
 but someone

00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:53.600
 whose job

00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:53.980
 it is

00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:54.679
 is to hear.

00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:55.379
 Someone who's

00:11:55.379 --> 00:11:55.980
 a professional

00:11:55.980 --> 00:11:56.559
 listener,

00:11:56.740 --> 00:11:57.559
 like a college

00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:58.100
 student.

00:11:58.759 --> 00:11:59.279
 Your guys'

00:11:59.419 --> 00:12:00.299
 job is to sit,

00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:00.779
 to listen,

00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:01.399
 and to learn.

00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:02.179
 And you're

00:12:02.179 --> 00:12:02.460
 going to be

00:12:02.460 --> 00:12:03.240
 tested based

00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:03.819
 on what the

00:12:03.819 --> 00:12:04.620
 professor has

00:12:04.620 --> 00:12:05.019
 spoken.

00:12:05.439 --> 00:12:05.899
 Most of the

00:12:05.899 --> 00:12:06.200
 time,

00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:06.560
 if you

00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:06.759
 have a

00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:06.879
 good

00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:07.379
 professor,

00:12:07.740 --> 00:12:07.940
 if you

00:12:07.940 --> 00:12:08.100
 have a

00:12:08.100 --> 00:12:08.340
 guy who

00:12:08.340 --> 00:12:08.640
 just says

00:12:08.640 --> 00:12:09.240
 read this,

00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:10.500
 then it's

00:12:10.500 --> 00:12:10.780
 up to what

00:12:10.780 --> 00:12:11.220
 you read.

00:12:11.400 --> 00:12:12.900
 But for my

00:12:12.900 --> 00:12:13.460
 illustration,

00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:13.980
 there you go,

00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:14.940
 all illustrations

00:12:14.940 --> 00:12:15.540
 fall short

00:12:15.540 --> 00:12:15.879
 somewhere,

00:12:16.060 --> 00:12:17.480
 so that's

00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:18.140
 good evidence.

00:12:18.980 --> 00:12:19.500
 But this

00:12:19.500 --> 00:12:19.920
 morning,

00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:21.000
 a college

00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:21.500
 student's

00:12:21.500 --> 00:12:22.600
 professional job

00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:23.160
 is to listen

00:12:23.160 --> 00:12:23.640
 and learn.

00:12:24.040 --> 00:12:24.240
 And you're

00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:24.500
 going to be

00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:24.980
 based and

00:12:24.980 --> 00:12:25.580
 held accountable

00:12:25.580 --> 00:12:26.080
 based on

00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:26.420
 what you

00:12:26.420 --> 00:12:27.140
 have heard.

00:12:27.139 --> 00:12:27.179
 word.

00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:30.199
 This is the

00:12:30.199 --> 00:12:30.960
 picture here

00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.379
 of this

00:12:33.379 --> 00:12:33.939
 word that

00:12:33.939 --> 00:12:34.480
 Paul uses

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:34.899
 in verse

00:12:34.899 --> 00:12:35.439
 13.

00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:36.059
 It says,

00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:36.939
 for it is

00:12:36.939 --> 00:12:37.299
 not the

00:12:37.299 --> 00:12:37.879
 hearers of

00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:38.159
 the law

00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:38.379
 who are

00:12:38.379 --> 00:12:38.659
 righteous

00:12:38.659 --> 00:12:39.480
 before God,

00:12:39.819 --> 00:12:40.480
 but the

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:40.899
 doers of

00:12:40.899 --> 00:12:41.179
 the law

00:12:41.179 --> 00:12:41.360
 who will

00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:41.899
 be justified.

00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:43.340
 Not just

00:12:43.340 --> 00:12:43.720
 hearing,

00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:45.179
 it's hearing

00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:46.240
 and then being

00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:46.840
 held accountable

00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:47.279
 to what you

00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:47.620
 hear.

00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:48.600
 So this

00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:48.919
 morning,

00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:49.519
 you guys

00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:50.059
 are all

00:12:50.059 --> 00:12:51.259
 hearing and

00:12:51.259 --> 00:12:51.580
 listening,

00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:51.939
 and you're

00:12:51.939 --> 00:12:52.179
 going to be

00:12:52.179 --> 00:12:52.759
 held accountable

00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:53.319
 for what you

00:12:53.319 --> 00:12:54.419
 hear this

00:12:54.419 --> 00:12:54.799
 morning.

00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:02.059
 verse 13

00:13:02.059 --> 00:13:02.419
 says,

00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:02.719
 though,

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:04.259
 just hearing

00:13:04.259 --> 00:13:05.059
 the word

00:13:05.059 --> 00:13:05.699
 does

00:13:05.699 --> 00:13:06.519
 nothing.

00:13:09.579 --> 00:13:10.579
 Just hearing

00:13:10.579 --> 00:13:11.079
 the word

00:13:11.079 --> 00:13:12.399
 does

00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:13.519
 nothing.

00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:16.299
 Like any

00:13:16.299 --> 00:13:16.579
 of these

00:13:16.579 --> 00:13:17.079
 good things

00:13:17.079 --> 00:13:17.459
 that I've

00:13:17.459 --> 00:13:17.799
 listed,

00:13:18.439 --> 00:13:19.179
 knowledge of

00:13:19.179 --> 00:13:19.479
 the law,

00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:20.120
 practicing

00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:20.519
 the law,

00:13:20.620 --> 00:13:21.099
 memorizing

00:13:21.099 --> 00:13:21.419
 the law,

00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:22.079
 desiring

00:13:22.079 --> 00:13:22.459
 to do

00:13:22.459 --> 00:13:22.959
 the law,

00:13:23.319 --> 00:13:23.639
 hearing

00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:24.259
 the law,

00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:25.879
 all of

00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:26.199
 these

00:13:26.199 --> 00:13:26.740
 results

00:13:26.740 --> 00:13:27.479
 are

00:13:27.479 --> 00:13:28.019
 worthless.

00:13:28.299 --> 00:13:28.419
 They

00:13:28.419 --> 00:13:28.919
 lead to

00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:29.339
 nothing.

00:13:30.439 --> 00:13:30.859
 Listen to

00:13:30.859 --> 00:13:31.419
 what the

00:13:31.419 --> 00:13:31.919
 writer of

00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:32.199
 Hebrews

00:13:32.199 --> 00:13:32.779
 says about

00:13:32.779 --> 00:13:33.199
 those who

00:13:33.199 --> 00:13:33.620
 hear the

00:13:33.620 --> 00:13:33.939
 law,

00:13:34.479 --> 00:13:34.939
 who know

00:13:34.939 --> 00:13:35.479
 better and

00:13:35.479 --> 00:13:35.979
 continue.

00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:36.479
 In

00:13:36.479 --> 00:13:36.779
 Hebrews

00:13:36.779 --> 00:13:37.399
 chapter 10,

00:13:37.479 --> 00:13:37.799
 the writer

00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:38.279
 says,

00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:39.459
 for if we

00:13:39.459 --> 00:13:39.979
 go on

00:13:39.979 --> 00:13:40.419
 sinning

00:13:40.419 --> 00:13:40.979
 deliberately

00:13:40.979 --> 00:13:42.039
 after receiving

00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:43.000
 the knowledge

00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:43.339
 of the

00:13:43.339 --> 00:13:43.779
 truth,

00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:45.000
 there no

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:45.379
 longer

00:13:45.379 --> 00:13:46.120
 remains a

00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:46.579
 sacrifice

00:13:46.579 --> 00:13:47.459
 for sins,

00:13:48.179 --> 00:13:48.659
 but a

00:13:48.659 --> 00:13:49.099
 fearful

00:13:49.099 --> 00:13:49.959
 expectation

00:13:49.959 --> 00:13:50.639
 of judgment

00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:52.219
 and a

00:13:52.219 --> 00:13:52.859
 fury of

00:13:52.859 --> 00:13:53.299
 fire that

00:13:53.299 --> 00:13:54.019
 will consume

00:13:54.019 --> 00:13:55.000
 the adversaries.

00:13:55.699 --> 00:13:56.199
 Anyone who

00:13:56.199 --> 00:13:56.519
 has set

00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:57.000
 aside the

00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:57.340
 law of

00:13:57.340 --> 00:13:58.100
 Moses dies

00:13:58.100 --> 00:13:58.419
 without

00:13:58.419 --> 00:13:59.199
 mercy on

00:13:59.199 --> 00:13:59.679
 the evidence

00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:00.220
 of two or

00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:00.879
 three witnesses.

00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:02.179
 How much

00:14:02.179 --> 00:14:03.259
 worse punishment

00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:04.279
 do you think

00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:04.539
 will be

00:14:04.539 --> 00:14:05.960
 deserved by

00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:06.759
 the one who

00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:07.460
 has burned

00:14:07.460 --> 00:14:08.019
 the Son of

00:14:08.019 --> 00:14:08.720
 God and

00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:09.639
 who has

00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:10.879
 profaned the

00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:11.340
 blood of the

00:14:11.340 --> 00:14:11.779
 covenant by

00:14:11.779 --> 00:14:12.220
 which he has

00:14:12.220 --> 00:14:13.340
 sanctified and

00:14:13.340 --> 00:14:14.059
 has outraged

00:14:14.059 --> 00:14:14.639
 the spirit of

00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:15.039
 grace?

00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:16.039
 For we

00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:16.480
 know him

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:16.980
 who said

00:14:16.980 --> 00:14:18.000
 vengeance is

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.079
 mine and I

00:14:19.079 --> 00:14:19.699
 will repay.

00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:20.600
 And again,

00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:21.340
 the Lord will

00:14:21.340 --> 00:14:21.899
 judge his

00:14:21.899 --> 00:14:22.340
 people.

00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:24.659
 It is a

00:14:24.659 --> 00:14:25.399
 fearful thing

00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:26.019
 to fall into

00:14:26.019 --> 00:14:26.699
 the hands

00:14:26.699 --> 00:14:27.419
 of the

00:14:27.419 --> 00:14:28.620
 living God.

00:14:30.259 --> 00:14:30.939
 Those are

00:14:30.939 --> 00:14:32.019
 scary words

00:14:32.019 --> 00:14:33.600
 for those

00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:34.220
 who hear

00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:35.740
 the law.

00:14:38.459 --> 00:14:39.059
 Matthew

00:14:39.059 --> 00:14:39.539
 seven,

00:14:40.500 --> 00:14:41.079
 Jesus is

00:14:41.079 --> 00:14:41.620
 ending his

00:14:41.620 --> 00:14:42.059
 sermon on

00:14:42.059 --> 00:14:42.500
 the Mount

00:14:42.500 --> 00:14:43.399
 and he

00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:43.899
 ends with

00:14:43.899 --> 00:14:44.379
 this.

00:14:45.379 --> 00:14:45.699
 Says

00:14:45.699 --> 00:14:46.759
 everyone

00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:47.319
 then who

00:14:47.319 --> 00:14:48.000
 hears these

00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:48.559
 words of

00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:48.840
 mine,

00:14:49.079 --> 00:14:49.480
 what I

00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:50.159
 have taught,

00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:51.360
 hears these

00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:51.759
 words of

00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:52.200
 mine and

00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:52.860
 does them

00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:53.620
 will be like

00:14:53.620 --> 00:14:54.419
 a wise man

00:14:54.419 --> 00:14:54.879
 who built

00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:55.580
 his house

00:14:55.580 --> 00:14:56.820
 on the

00:14:56.820 --> 00:14:57.759
 rock and

00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:58.180
 the rain

00:14:58.180 --> 00:14:58.700
 fell and

00:14:58.700 --> 00:14:59.159
 the floods

00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:00.080
 came and

00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:00.480
 the winds

00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:01.019
 blew and

00:15:01.019 --> 00:15:01.320
 beat on

00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:01.940
 that house,

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:02.700
 but it

00:15:02.700 --> 00:15:03.100
 did not

00:15:03.100 --> 00:15:03.639
 fall because

00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:03.899
 it had

00:15:03.899 --> 00:15:04.600
 been founded

00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:06.100
 on the

00:15:06.100 --> 00:15:06.519
 rock.

00:15:07.779 --> 00:15:07.800
 And

00:15:07.800 --> 00:15:08.500
 everyone who

00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:09.039
 hears these

00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:09.580
 words of

00:15:09.580 --> 00:15:10.200
 mine and

00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:10.659
 does not

00:15:10.659 --> 00:15:11.080
 do them

00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:11.340
 will be

00:15:11.340 --> 00:15:11.759
 like a

00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:12.060
 foolish

00:15:12.060 --> 00:15:12.800
 man who

00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:13.220
 built his

00:15:13.220 --> 00:15:14.159
 house on

00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:14.720
 the sand

00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:15.960
 and the

00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:16.659
 rain fell

00:15:16.659 --> 00:15:17.019
 and the

00:15:17.019 --> 00:15:17.340
 floods

00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:18.080
 came and

00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:18.440
 the winds

00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:18.920
 blew and

00:15:18.920 --> 00:15:19.340
 beat against

00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:19.899
 that house

00:15:19.899 --> 00:15:20.179
 and it

00:15:20.179 --> 00:15:21.379
 fell and

00:15:21.379 --> 00:15:21.899
 great was

00:15:21.899 --> 00:15:22.340
 the fall

00:15:22.340 --> 00:15:22.860
 of it.

00:15:26.059 --> 00:15:26.659
 Can't

00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:27.000
 just be

00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:27.699
 hearers.

00:15:30.379 --> 00:15:31.559
 The second

00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:32.000
 part of

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:32.720
 verse 13

00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:33.539
 tells us,

00:15:34.220 --> 00:15:34.500
 but the

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:35.220
 doers,

00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:36.399
 the doers

00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:36.740
 of the

00:15:36.740 --> 00:15:38.120
 law who

00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:38.399
 will be

00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:38.860
 justified.

00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:39.419
 It is the

00:15:39.419 --> 00:15:40.379
 doers who

00:15:40.379 --> 00:15:41.159
 will be

00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:41.679
 justified.

00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:44.379
 In order

00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:44.620
 to be

00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:45.000
 justified,

00:15:45.139 --> 00:15:45.439
 we must

00:15:45.439 --> 00:15:46.559
 be doers

00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:47.239
 of the

00:15:47.239 --> 00:15:47.639
 law.

00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:48.319
 James

00:15:48.319 --> 00:15:48.719
 1,

00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:49.359
 22 and

00:15:49.359 --> 00:15:50.439
 24 is

00:15:50.439 --> 00:15:50.919
 a familiar

00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:51.299
 verse,

00:15:51.359 --> 00:15:51.819
 I'm sure.

00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:53.259
 But be

00:15:53.259 --> 00:15:53.799
 doers of

00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:54.139
 the word

00:15:54.139 --> 00:15:54.459
 and not

00:15:54.459 --> 00:15:55.319
 hearers only,

00:15:55.979 --> 00:15:56.419
 deceiving

00:15:56.419 --> 00:15:57.039
 yourselves.

00:15:57.299 --> 00:15:57.699
 For if

00:15:57.699 --> 00:15:58.259
 anyone is

00:15:58.259 --> 00:15:58.879
 a hearer

00:15:58.879 --> 00:15:59.099
 of the

00:15:59.099 --> 00:15:59.459
 word and

00:15:59.459 --> 00:15:59.799
 not a

00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:00.179
 doer,

00:16:00.859 --> 00:16:01.199
 he is

00:16:01.199 --> 00:16:01.519
 like a

00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:01.979
 man who

00:16:01.979 --> 00:16:02.199
 looks

00:16:02.199 --> 00:16:02.919
 intently

00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:03.679
 at his

00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:04.299
 natural

00:16:04.299 --> 00:16:04.939
 face in

00:16:04.939 --> 00:16:05.319
 a mirror.

00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:06.159
 For he

00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:06.479
 looks at

00:16:06.479 --> 00:16:07.799
 himself and

00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:08.319
 goes away

00:16:08.319 --> 00:16:08.859
 at once,

00:16:08.979 --> 00:16:09.559
 forgets

00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:10.279
 what he

00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:10.819
 was like.

00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:13.699
 Anyone who

00:16:13.699 --> 00:16:14.359
 is a hearer

00:16:14.359 --> 00:16:14.759
 but not a

00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:15.199
 doer is

00:16:15.199 --> 00:16:15.839
 like this

00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:16.080
 man.

00:16:16.139 --> 00:16:16.280
 He's

00:16:16.280 --> 00:16:17.019
 forgetful.

00:16:17.580 --> 00:16:17.980
 He's

00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:18.620
 lost.

00:16:18.780 --> 00:16:19.420
 He has

00:16:19.420 --> 00:16:19.639
 no

00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:20.460
 reference.

00:16:22.920 --> 00:16:23.519
 He has

00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:24.019
 part of

00:16:24.019 --> 00:16:24.240
 it.

00:16:25.280 --> 00:16:26.060
 He looks

00:16:26.060 --> 00:16:26.360
 in the

00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:26.620
 mirror.

00:16:26.780 --> 00:16:27.320
 He looks

00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:27.580
 at the

00:16:27.580 --> 00:16:27.860
 law.

00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:28.440
 He sees

00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:28.720
 it.

00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:30.080
 He looks

00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:30.320
 at how

00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:30.519
 he's

00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:30.820
 supposed

00:16:30.820 --> 00:16:31.379
 to act,

00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:32.180
 but he

00:16:32.180 --> 00:16:32.420
 doesn't

00:16:32.420 --> 00:16:32.720
 have the

00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:32.940
 whole.

00:16:33.019 --> 00:16:33.100
 He

00:16:33.100 --> 00:16:33.519
 forgets

00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:33.720
 it.

00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:34.440
 He

00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:34.840
 forgets

00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:35.060
 what he

00:16:35.060 --> 00:16:35.300
 looks

00:16:35.300 --> 00:16:35.700
 like.

00:16:40.139 --> 00:16:40.620
 Following

00:16:40.620 --> 00:16:40.879
 the

00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:41.160
 law,

00:16:41.220 --> 00:16:41.420
 being

00:16:41.420 --> 00:16:41.879
 doers

00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:42.139
 of the

00:16:42.139 --> 00:16:42.379
 law,

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:42.780
 our

00:16:42.780 --> 00:16:43.400
 works,

00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:46.059
 prove

00:16:46.059 --> 00:16:47.120
 justification.

00:16:47.299 --> 00:16:47.600
 They don't

00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:48.740
 lead to

00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:49.379
 justification.

00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:50.059
 And that's

00:16:50.059 --> 00:16:50.620
 what Paul is

00:16:50.620 --> 00:16:51.480
 basically arguing

00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:51.799
 here.

00:16:52.340 --> 00:16:53.019
 Our works

00:16:53.019 --> 00:16:53.659
 prove

00:16:53.659 --> 00:16:54.500
 justification.

00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:55.139
 They don't

00:16:55.139 --> 00:16:56.039
 lead to

00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:56.519
 justification.

00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:57.120
 This is a

00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:57.799
 very important

00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:59.379
 fact that we

00:16:59.379 --> 00:17:00.000
 need to get.

00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:01.240
 We get it in

00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:01.899
 other scriptures.

00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:04.920
 He's not

00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:06.539
 saying do

00:17:06.539 --> 00:17:07.180
 things.

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:09.700
 remember

00:17:09.700 --> 00:17:10.299
 last week,

00:17:10.380 --> 00:17:11.320
 verse six,

00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:11.860
 he will

00:17:11.860 --> 00:17:12.259
 render to

00:17:12.259 --> 00:17:12.700
 each one

00:17:12.700 --> 00:17:13.259
 according to

00:17:13.259 --> 00:17:13.980
 his works.

00:17:15.120 --> 00:17:15.720
 That is

00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:16.220
 based on

00:17:16.220 --> 00:17:16.820
 Christ and

00:17:16.820 --> 00:17:17.480
 Christ alone

00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.880
 doing good.

00:17:21.779 --> 00:17:22.360
 It is

00:17:22.360 --> 00:17:22.860
 only with

00:17:22.860 --> 00:17:23.560
 Christ that

00:17:23.560 --> 00:17:23.860
 we can

00:17:23.860 --> 00:17:24.259
 obey,

00:17:24.539 --> 00:17:24.980
 keep and

00:17:24.980 --> 00:17:25.440
 do the

00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:25.779
 law.

00:17:26.080 --> 00:17:26.400
 Christ

00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:26.660
 being

00:17:26.660 --> 00:17:27.299
 primary

00:17:27.299 --> 00:17:28.360
 and the

00:17:28.360 --> 00:17:28.539
 law

00:17:28.539 --> 00:17:28.759
 being

00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:29.200
 secondary.

00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:30.799
 It is

00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:31.200
 only with

00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:31.420
 Jesus

00:17:31.420 --> 00:17:31.960
 Christ that

00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:32.220
 we can

00:17:32.220 --> 00:17:32.380
 do

00:17:32.380 --> 00:17:32.820
 anything

00:17:32.820 --> 00:17:33.279
 good.

00:17:34.019 --> 00:17:34.180
 Jesus

00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:34.539
 Christ

00:17:34.539 --> 00:17:34.920
 being the

00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:35.360
 indicative

00:17:35.360 --> 00:17:36.320
 and

00:17:36.320 --> 00:17:36.620
 everything

00:17:36.619 --> 00:17:36.919
 good

00:17:36.919 --> 00:17:37.339
 being the

00:17:37.339 --> 00:17:37.739
 imperative.

00:17:38.239 --> 00:17:38.659
 Turn to

00:17:38.659 --> 00:17:39.259
 James chapter

00:17:39.259 --> 00:17:39.659
 two.

00:17:41.659 --> 00:17:42.399
 James chapter

00:17:42.399 --> 00:17:42.819
 two.

00:17:44.819 --> 00:17:45.479
 James is a

00:17:45.479 --> 00:17:46.399
 very practical

00:17:46.399 --> 00:17:46.859
 book.

00:17:47.879 --> 00:17:48.219
 Very

00:17:48.219 --> 00:17:48.719
 practical.

00:17:53.739 --> 00:17:54.239
 If you

00:17:54.239 --> 00:17:54.419
 want to

00:17:54.419 --> 00:17:54.819
 learn how to

00:17:54.819 --> 00:17:55.259
 be a better

00:17:55.259 --> 00:17:55.699
 Christian,

00:17:55.859 --> 00:17:56.500
 read James.

00:17:57.179 --> 00:17:57.619
 He lays

00:17:57.619 --> 00:17:58.119
 it out for

00:17:58.119 --> 00:17:58.459
 you very

00:17:58.459 --> 00:17:58.899
 clearly.

00:18:01.439 --> 00:18:01.879
 James

00:18:01.879 --> 00:18:02.179
 chapter

00:18:02.179 --> 00:18:02.500
 two,

00:18:02.619 --> 00:18:02.839
 verses

00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:04.079
 20 through

00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:04.839
 26.

00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:05.539
 It's a

00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:06.059
 big chunk,

00:18:06.139 --> 00:18:06.299
 but I

00:18:06.299 --> 00:18:06.519
 want you

00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:06.799
 to see

00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:07.220
 this.

00:18:12.659 --> 00:18:13.139
 Do you

00:18:13.139 --> 00:18:13.399
 want to

00:18:13.399 --> 00:18:13.859
 be shown,

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:14.419
 you foolish

00:18:14.419 --> 00:18:14.940
 person,

00:18:15.460 --> 00:18:16.159
 that faith

00:18:16.159 --> 00:18:16.799
 apart from

00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:17.399
 works is

00:18:17.399 --> 00:18:17.839
 useless?

00:18:19.059 --> 00:18:19.639
 Was not

00:18:19.639 --> 00:18:20.460
 Abraham our

00:18:20.460 --> 00:18:21.399
 father justified

00:18:21.399 --> 00:18:22.379
 by works when

00:18:22.379 --> 00:18:22.799
 he offered

00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:23.399
 up his son

00:18:23.399 --> 00:18:24.019
 Isaac on

00:18:24.019 --> 00:18:24.440
 the altar?

00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:26.000
 You see

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:26.740
 that faith

00:18:26.740 --> 00:18:27.639
 was active

00:18:27.639 --> 00:18:28.319
 along with

00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:28.960
 his works

00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:30.119
 and faith

00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:30.940
 was completed

00:18:30.940 --> 00:18:32.220
 by his

00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:32.740
 works.

00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:33.839
 And the

00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:34.319
 scripture was

00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:34.659
 fulfilled.

00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:35.000
 It says

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:35.359
 Abraham

00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:35.819
 believed

00:18:35.819 --> 00:18:36.200
 God

00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:37.019
 and it

00:18:37.019 --> 00:18:37.160
 was

00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:37.440
 counted

00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:37.779
 to him

00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:37.920
 as

00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:38.339
 righteousness

00:18:38.339 --> 00:18:39.920
 and he

00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:40.059
 was

00:18:40.059 --> 00:18:40.279
 called

00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:40.460
 a

00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:40.680
 friend

00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:40.839
 of

00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:41.160
 God.

00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:41.940
 You see

00:18:41.940 --> 00:18:42.220
 that a

00:18:42.220 --> 00:18:42.519
 person

00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:43.220
 is justified

00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:44.720
 by works

00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:45.059
 and not

00:18:45.059 --> 00:18:45.579
 by faith

00:18:45.579 --> 00:18:46.019
 alone.

00:18:46.940 --> 00:18:47.220
 And in the

00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:47.640
 same way,

00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:48.039
 was not

00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:48.799
 also Rahab

00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:49.440
 the prostitute

00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:49.859
 justified

00:18:49.859 --> 00:18:50.460
 by works

00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:50.740
 when she

00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:51.099
 received

00:18:51.099 --> 00:18:51.240
 the

00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:51.640
 messengers

00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:52.579
 and sent

00:18:52.579 --> 00:18:53.119
 them out

00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:53.720
 by another

00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:54.119
 way?

00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:55.379
 for as

00:18:55.379 --> 00:18:55.500
 the

00:18:55.500 --> 00:18:55.799
 body

00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:56.119
 apart

00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:56.279
 from

00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:56.419
 the

00:18:56.419 --> 00:18:56.659
 spirit

00:18:56.659 --> 00:18:56.839
 is

00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:57.059
 dead,

00:18:57.159 --> 00:18:57.299
 so

00:18:57.299 --> 00:18:57.719
 also

00:18:57.719 --> 00:18:58.379
 faith

00:18:58.379 --> 00:18:58.919
 apart

00:18:58.919 --> 00:18:59.199
 from

00:18:59.199 --> 00:18:59.659
 works

00:18:59.659 --> 00:19:00.339
 is

00:19:00.339 --> 00:19:00.979
 dead.

00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:01.759
 I want

00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:02.059
 you to

00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:02.659
 kind of

00:19:02.659 --> 00:19:03.259
 underline

00:19:03.259 --> 00:19:03.919
 look at

00:19:03.919 --> 00:19:04.659
 verse 22

00:19:04.659 --> 00:19:05.119
 is the

00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:06.539
 important

00:19:06.539 --> 00:19:07.000
 verse

00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:07.299
 here.

00:19:08.339 --> 00:19:08.719
 You see

00:19:08.719 --> 00:19:09.519
 that faith

00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:10.439
 was active

00:19:10.439 --> 00:19:11.039
 along with

00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:11.359
 works.

00:19:11.459 --> 00:19:11.899
 So faith

00:19:11.899 --> 00:19:12.419
 and works

00:19:12.419 --> 00:19:12.719
 went

00:19:12.719 --> 00:19:13.239
 together.

00:19:14.539 --> 00:19:15.119
 And in

00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:15.559
 the end

00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:16.579
 that faith

00:19:16.579 --> 00:19:17.419
 was completed

00:19:17.419 --> 00:19:18.199
 by his

00:19:18.199 --> 00:19:18.699
 works.

00:19:18.700 --> 00:19:23.880
 Abraham

00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:24.640
 was justified

00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:26.220
 first and

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:26.680
 then did

00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:27.000
 works.

00:19:27.140 --> 00:19:27.440
 Works

00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:27.920
 followed

00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:28.140
 his

00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:28.580
 faith.

00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:30.880
 So Paul

00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:31.500
 raises a

00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:32.460
 question back

00:19:32.460 --> 00:19:33.059
 in Romans

00:19:33.059 --> 00:19:33.759
 chapter 2.

00:19:35.380 --> 00:19:35.640
 So we

00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:36.080
 got that

00:19:36.080 --> 00:19:38.160
 works being

00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:38.860
 doers of

00:19:38.860 --> 00:19:39.519
 the law

00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:40.960
 in verse

00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:41.460
 13.

00:19:41.840 --> 00:19:42.980
 Now 14,

00:19:43.140 --> 00:19:43.580
 15,

00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:44.140
 and 16

00:19:44.140 --> 00:19:44.519
 he kind

00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:45.340
 of answers

00:19:45.340 --> 00:19:45.920
 a question

00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:46.600
 for us.

00:19:47.019 --> 00:19:47.279
 And that

00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:48.220
 question is

00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:49.860
 how then

00:19:49.860 --> 00:19:50.880
 can those

00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:51.259
 who have

00:19:51.259 --> 00:19:52.339
 are not

00:19:52.339 --> 00:19:52.819
 under the

00:19:52.819 --> 00:19:53.200
 law,

00:19:53.500 --> 00:19:54.140
 who have

00:19:54.140 --> 00:19:54.720
 not heard

00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:55.200
 the law,

00:19:55.360 --> 00:19:55.819
 how can

00:19:55.819 --> 00:19:56.220
 they be

00:19:56.220 --> 00:19:56.559
 found

00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:56.980
 guilty?

00:19:57.360 --> 00:19:58.000
 How is

00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:58.299
 it that

00:19:58.299 --> 00:19:58.740
 they can

00:19:58.740 --> 00:19:59.519
 be judged

00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:01.160
 fairly?

00:20:01.779 --> 00:20:02.460
 Because it

00:20:02.460 --> 00:20:02.860
 looks to

00:20:02.860 --> 00:20:03.240
 me,

00:20:03.380 --> 00:20:03.960
 and Paul

00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:04.360
 has laid

00:20:04.360 --> 00:20:04.720
 it out,

00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:06.360
 that the

00:20:06.360 --> 00:20:07.079
 Gentiles are

00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:07.299
 at a

00:20:07.299 --> 00:20:07.799
 disadvantage.

00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:08.220
 They don't

00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:08.640
 have the

00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:08.779
 law.

00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:09.100
 They don't

00:20:09.100 --> 00:20:09.579
 have the

00:20:09.579 --> 00:20:10.059
 rules to

00:20:10.059 --> 00:20:10.400
 follow.

00:20:10.900 --> 00:20:11.420
 So how

00:20:11.420 --> 00:20:11.759
 is it

00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:12.720
 that God

00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.519
 can judge

00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:14.440
 impartially?

00:20:15.819 --> 00:20:16.220
 Well,

00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:16.680
 there's four

00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:17.299
 things this

00:20:17.299 --> 00:20:17.839
 morning that

00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:18.919
 God will

00:20:18.919 --> 00:20:19.399
 judge them

00:20:19.399 --> 00:20:20.039
 based on.

00:20:20.539 --> 00:20:20.879
 And them

00:20:20.879 --> 00:20:21.519
 being us

00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:22.099
 as well,

00:20:22.220 --> 00:20:23.759
 because I'm

00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:24.279
 almost certain

00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:24.679
 there's not

00:20:24.679 --> 00:20:25.839
 any Jewish

00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:26.379
 people in

00:20:26.379 --> 00:20:26.579
 here.

00:20:26.639 --> 00:20:26.839
 If there

00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:27.039
 are,

00:20:27.139 --> 00:20:28.099
 then you

00:20:28.099 --> 00:20:28.419
 got the

00:20:28.419 --> 00:20:28.699
 law.

00:20:30.919 --> 00:20:31.559
 But we're

00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:32.500
 all Gentiles,

00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:33.419
 and there's

00:20:33.419 --> 00:20:34.099
 four things

00:20:34.099 --> 00:20:34.559
 that God

00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:35.659
 judges them

00:20:35.659 --> 00:20:36.319
 based on.

00:20:36.539 --> 00:20:37.019
 The first

00:20:37.019 --> 00:20:37.500
 one is the

00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:38.679
 rejection of

00:20:38.679 --> 00:20:39.279
 God in

00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:39.740
 creation.

00:20:39.879 --> 00:20:40.079
 And this

00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:40.379
 is found

00:20:40.379 --> 00:20:40.740
 in Romans

00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:41.359
 chapter 1.

00:20:43.159 --> 00:20:43.959
 Paul says

00:20:43.959 --> 00:20:44.240
 that they

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:44.659
 have no

00:20:44.659 --> 00:20:45.319
 excuse.

00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:46.919
 verses 1

00:20:46.919 --> 00:20:47.419
 or 1

00:20:47.419 --> 00:20:48.000
 chapter 1

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:48.539
 19 and

00:20:48.539 --> 00:20:48.859
 20.

00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:52.279
 Says for

00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:52.639
 what can

00:20:52.639 --> 00:20:53.139
 be known

00:20:53.139 --> 00:20:53.740
 about God

00:20:53.740 --> 00:20:54.179
 is plain

00:20:54.179 --> 00:20:54.639
 to them

00:20:54.639 --> 00:20:56.200
 because God

00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:56.599
 has shown

00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:56.879
 it to

00:20:56.879 --> 00:20:57.839
 them for

00:20:57.839 --> 00:20:58.000
 his

00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:58.460
 invisible

00:20:58.460 --> 00:20:59.059
 attributes,

00:20:59.200 --> 00:20:59.720
 namely his

00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:00.019
 eternal

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:00.639
 power and

00:21:00.639 --> 00:21:01.399
 divine nature

00:21:01.399 --> 00:21:02.079
 have been

00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:02.599
 clearly

00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:03.399
 perceived

00:21:03.399 --> 00:21:04.500
 ever since

00:21:04.500 --> 00:21:05.159
 the creation

00:21:05.159 --> 00:21:05.960
 of the

00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:06.960
 world and

00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:07.419
 the things

00:21:07.419 --> 00:21:07.659
 that have

00:21:07.659 --> 00:21:08.159
 been made.

00:21:08.879 --> 00:21:10.000
 So they

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:11.200
 are without

00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:12.019
 excuse.

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:13.960
 So God

00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:14.200
 is going

00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:14.579
 to judge

00:21:14.579 --> 00:21:14.940
 them based

00:21:14.940 --> 00:21:15.559
 on creation

00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:16.000
 alone,

00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:17.660
 based on what

00:21:17.660 --> 00:21:18.259
 God has put

00:21:18.259 --> 00:21:18.639
 there and

00:21:18.639 --> 00:21:19.200
 shown them

00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:20.379
 what is

00:21:20.379 --> 00:21:22.519
 created and

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.160
 their rejection

00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:23.759
 of it.

00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:24.299
 They're going

00:21:24.299 --> 00:21:25.019
 to be judged

00:21:25.019 --> 00:21:25.299
 on.

00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:27.099
 Not only that,

00:21:27.139 --> 00:21:27.339
 they're going

00:21:27.339 --> 00:21:27.799
 to be judged

00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:28.139
 on the

00:21:28.139 --> 00:21:28.839
 conduct.

00:21:29.879 --> 00:21:30.480
 Back to

00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:30.740
 Romans

00:21:30.740 --> 00:21:31.379
 chapter 2.

00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:33.079
 Their conduct

00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:33.680
 is going to

00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:34.339
 condemn them.

00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:36.099
 Verse 14

00:21:36.099 --> 00:21:36.700
 and then half

00:21:36.700 --> 00:21:37.480
 of the first

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:38.259
 part of 15.

00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:40.339
 For when

00:21:40.339 --> 00:21:41.579
 Gentiles who

00:21:41.579 --> 00:21:42.079
 do not have

00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:42.559
 the law by

00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:43.099
 nature do

00:21:43.099 --> 00:21:43.379
 what the

00:21:43.379 --> 00:21:44.079
 law requires,

00:21:44.919 --> 00:21:45.679
 they are a

00:21:45.679 --> 00:21:46.019
 law to

00:21:46.019 --> 00:21:47.319
 themselves even

00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:47.679
 though they

00:21:47.679 --> 00:21:48.319
 do not have

00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:48.779
 the law.

00:21:49.379 --> 00:21:50.220
 They show

00:21:50.220 --> 00:21:51.019
 that the

00:21:51.019 --> 00:21:51.579
 work of the

00:21:51.579 --> 00:21:52.419
 law is

00:21:52.419 --> 00:21:53.559
 written on

00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:54.980
 their hearts.

00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:56.899
 Do you

00:21:56.899 --> 00:21:57.099
 know the

00:21:57.099 --> 00:21:58.000
 population of

00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:58.539
 the world

00:21:58.539 --> 00:22:00.019
 is saying

00:22:00.019 --> 00:22:00.819
 estimating to

00:22:00.819 --> 00:22:01.279
 be 7

00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:02.159
 billion in

00:22:02.159 --> 00:22:02.740
 October of

00:22:02.740 --> 00:22:03.119
 this year?

00:22:03.639 --> 00:22:04.500
 7 billion

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:04.960
 people.

00:22:07.019 --> 00:22:07.379
 There's

00:22:07.379 --> 00:22:08.619
 2.8

00:22:08.619 --> 00:22:09.699
 billion unreached

00:22:09.699 --> 00:22:10.399
 people groups

00:22:10.399 --> 00:22:10.879
 or unreached

00:22:10.879 --> 00:22:11.279
 people.

00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:13.039
 2.8

00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:13.279
 billion.

00:22:13.439 --> 00:22:14.379
 41% of

00:22:14.379 --> 00:22:14.839
 that 7

00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:15.619
 billion have

00:22:15.619 --> 00:22:16.240
 never heard

00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:17.379
 the gospel,

00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:18.839
 never read

00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:19.339
 the gospel,

00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:19.819
 read the

00:22:19.819 --> 00:22:20.359
 Bible in

00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:21.220
 their language.

00:22:22.099 --> 00:22:22.759
 All 7

00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:24.259
 billion will

00:22:24.259 --> 00:22:24.859
 be judged.

00:22:26.939 --> 00:22:27.899
 All 7

00:22:27.899 --> 00:22:28.339
 billion will

00:22:28.339 --> 00:22:28.839
 be condemned

00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:29.339
 unless they

00:22:29.339 --> 00:22:29.839
 know Jesus

00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:30.500
 Christ who

00:22:30.500 --> 00:22:30.799
 is the

00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:31.559
 way, the

00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:32.319
 truth, and

00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:32.859
 the life.

00:22:33.819 --> 00:22:34.279
 Now out of

00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:34.679
 the 7

00:22:34.679 --> 00:22:35.379
 billion, I'm

00:22:35.379 --> 00:22:35.939
 sure we can

00:22:35.939 --> 00:22:36.480
 find one or

00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:36.980
 two good

00:22:36.980 --> 00:22:37.359
 people.

00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:38.599
 I'm sure we

00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:39.500
 can find one

00:22:39.500 --> 00:22:40.359
 or two just

00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:41.359
 good, not

00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:42.000
 Christians, but

00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:42.539
 good people.

00:22:43.159 --> 00:22:43.639
 So let's go

00:22:43.639 --> 00:22:44.299
 throughout history

00:22:44.299 --> 00:22:44.779
 and I'm sure we

00:22:44.779 --> 00:22:45.979
 can find a few

00:22:45.979 --> 00:22:47.000
 more good people

00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:47.500
 out there.

00:22:47.819 --> 00:22:48.459
 Good husbands,

00:22:48.699 --> 00:22:49.339
 good fathers,

00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:50.199
 good teachers,

00:22:50.879 --> 00:22:51.819
 fair businessmen

00:22:51.819 --> 00:22:52.240
 and women,

00:22:52.659 --> 00:22:53.379
 fair judges,

00:22:53.740 --> 00:22:54.559
 honest lawyers.

00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:54.700
 believers.

00:22:58.819 --> 00:23:00.399
 The Bible, the

00:23:00.399 --> 00:23:00.980
 Bible talks

00:23:00.980 --> 00:23:01.940
 about people

00:23:01.940 --> 00:23:02.279
 who are

00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:03.259
 pagan, who

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:03.779
 God used

00:23:03.779 --> 00:23:04.220
 their good

00:23:04.220 --> 00:23:04.740
 deeds as

00:23:04.740 --> 00:23:05.039
 well.

00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:05.619
 Look at,

00:23:05.919 --> 00:23:07.059
 don't turn

00:23:07.059 --> 00:23:07.359
 there, but

00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:08.000
 Daniel chapter

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:08.659
 six, you

00:23:08.659 --> 00:23:09.019
 remember what

00:23:09.019 --> 00:23:09.639
 happens with

00:23:09.639 --> 00:23:11.039
 Daniel and

00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:11.700
 the lion's den

00:23:11.700 --> 00:23:13.079
 comes back the

00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:13.779
 next morning and

00:23:13.779 --> 00:23:14.339
 King Darius

00:23:14.339 --> 00:23:14.960
 finds him and

00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:15.500
 he's alive.

00:23:15.639 --> 00:23:16.319
 And then King

00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:17.099
 Darius, who's a

00:23:17.099 --> 00:23:17.779
 pagan, who's not

00:23:17.779 --> 00:23:18.559
 a Christian, not a

00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:19.179
 believer, not a

00:23:19.179 --> 00:23:20.539
 follower of God,

00:23:21.539 --> 00:23:22.619
 makes a decree

00:23:22.619 --> 00:23:23.200
 and says,

00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:24.559
 people, you

00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:25.259
 will follow the

00:23:25.259 --> 00:23:26.140
 God of Daniel.

00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:29.319
 God used

00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:30.140
 King Darius

00:23:30.140 --> 00:23:31.180
 and his good

00:23:31.180 --> 00:23:33.279
 deeds in Acts

00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:34.519
 chapter 23.

00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:35.440
 We have the

00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:36.279
 Roman military

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:39.059
 protecting Paul

00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:40.519
 as he's being

00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:41.640
 moved and

00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:42.559
 taken to

00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:43.200
 different people

00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:43.720
 and the Jewish

00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:44.319
 people are getting

00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:45.140
 angrier and

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:45.600
 angrier.

00:23:48.460 --> 00:23:49.580
 They protect

00:23:49.580 --> 00:23:49.860
 him.

00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:50.600
 They're not

00:23:50.600 --> 00:23:51.120
 they're not

00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:51.600
 believers.

00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:53.139
 believers to

00:23:53.139 --> 00:23:53.719
 God use their

00:23:53.719 --> 00:23:54.459
 good deeds.

00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:56.219
 They didn't

00:23:56.219 --> 00:23:57.059
 have the law,

00:23:57.419 --> 00:23:58.199
 but they had

00:23:58.199 --> 00:23:58.939
 knowledge of

00:23:58.939 --> 00:23:59.740
 God's law.

00:23:59.779 --> 00:24:00.419
 They had this

00:24:00.419 --> 00:24:01.480
 moral law

00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:02.779
 written on

00:24:02.779 --> 00:24:03.459
 their hearts.

00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:06.439
 Meaning the

00:24:06.439 --> 00:24:06.919
 law wasn't

00:24:06.919 --> 00:24:07.480
 given to them.

00:24:07.539 --> 00:24:07.859
 They're not

00:24:07.859 --> 00:24:08.159
 Jewish.

00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:09.359
 They weren't

00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:10.179
 given that

00:24:10.179 --> 00:24:10.719
 that that

00:24:10.719 --> 00:24:11.459
 law, but

00:24:11.459 --> 00:24:12.399
 they still knew

00:24:12.399 --> 00:24:13.019
 right from

00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:13.359
 wrong.

00:24:14.639 --> 00:24:15.240
 And their

00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:16.299
 actions prove

00:24:16.299 --> 00:24:16.719
 that.

00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:19.100
 if they

00:24:19.100 --> 00:24:20.319
 never come to

00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:20.799
 know Christ,

00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:21.759
 if they never

00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:22.319
 repent and

00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:23.980
 believe their

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:24.900
 good lives will

00:24:24.900 --> 00:24:25.440
 be witnessed

00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:26.180
 against them.

00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:27.039
 Their good

00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:27.660
 lives will

00:24:27.660 --> 00:24:28.880
 condemn them in

00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:29.539
 this courtroom,

00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:29.940
 in the

00:24:29.940 --> 00:24:30.360
 judgment.

00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:36.400
 So for you

00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:36.960
 and for me,

00:24:37.600 --> 00:24:38.519
 if we do not

00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:39.140
 come to know

00:24:39.140 --> 00:24:40.120
 Christ, our

00:24:40.120 --> 00:24:40.819
 good deeds,

00:24:41.259 --> 00:24:41.579
 our good

00:24:41.579 --> 00:24:42.500
 actions, our

00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:43.500
 desires to do

00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:44.880
 good are going

00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:45.280
 to condemn

00:24:45.280 --> 00:24:47.520
 us and not

00:24:47.520 --> 00:24:48.460
 be in our

00:24:48.460 --> 00:24:48.800
 favor.

00:24:51.020 --> 00:24:52.020
 So first,

00:24:52.080 --> 00:24:52.280
 there was

00:24:52.280 --> 00:24:53.040
 rejection of

00:24:53.040 --> 00:24:53.580
 creation.

00:24:54.340 --> 00:24:55.040
 God created

00:24:55.040 --> 00:24:55.480
 it and they

00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:55.940
 are without

00:24:55.940 --> 00:24:56.580
 excuse.

00:24:58.120 --> 00:24:59.060
 Their conduct

00:24:59.060 --> 00:24:59.960
 condemns them.

00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:01.600
 But next,

00:25:01.740 --> 00:25:02.440
 in verse 15,

00:25:02.540 --> 00:25:03.440
 the middle part

00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:04.140
 of verse 15,

00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:05.100
 their conscience

00:25:05.100 --> 00:25:06.400
 condemns them.

00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:09.120
 While their

00:25:09.120 --> 00:25:10.320
 conscience also

00:25:10.320 --> 00:25:11.520
 bears witness.

00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:14.420
 A definition

00:25:14.420 --> 00:25:15.060
 of conscience

00:25:15.060 --> 00:25:15.660
 is an inner

00:25:15.660 --> 00:25:16.279
 witness that

00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:16.940
 judges whether

00:25:16.940 --> 00:25:17.600
 or not an

00:25:17.600 --> 00:25:18.660
 act is right

00:25:18.660 --> 00:25:19.500
 or wrong.

00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:21.160
 And the

00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:22.360
 first place we

00:25:22.360 --> 00:25:23.180
 saw conscience

00:25:23.180 --> 00:25:23.720
 was in the

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:24.380
 Garden of Eden

00:25:24.380 --> 00:25:25.300
 in chapter

00:25:25.300 --> 00:25:25.759
 three.

00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:27.200
 Remember,

00:25:27.360 --> 00:25:27.740
 Adam and

00:25:27.740 --> 00:25:28.480
 Eve ate of

00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:30.140
 the fruit and

00:25:30.140 --> 00:25:30.900
 immediately they

00:25:30.900 --> 00:25:31.539
 realized they

00:25:31.539 --> 00:25:33.160
 were naked and

00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:33.820
 immediately they

00:25:33.820 --> 00:25:34.620
 realized something

00:25:34.620 --> 00:25:35.220
 was wrong.

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:36.519
 And God

00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:37.800
 said, guys,

00:25:37.840 --> 00:25:38.420
 where are you?

00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:39.100
 And immediately

00:25:39.100 --> 00:25:39.560
 what did they

00:25:39.560 --> 00:25:39.740
 do?

00:25:39.800 --> 00:25:40.640
 They hid from

00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:41.200
 God because

00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:41.960
 something in

00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:42.620
 them told them

00:25:42.620 --> 00:25:43.019
 they had done

00:25:43.019 --> 00:25:43.360
 wrong.

00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:44.959
 this conscience

00:25:44.959 --> 00:25:45.619
 appeared.

00:25:48.259 --> 00:25:48.359
 Now,

00:25:48.500 --> 00:25:55.439
 there's a

00:25:55.439 --> 00:25:56.339
 there's an

00:25:56.339 --> 00:25:57.299
 African tribe.

00:25:59.699 --> 00:26:00.299
 Their

00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:01.179
 practice of

00:26:01.179 --> 00:26:01.939
 testing guilt

00:26:01.939 --> 00:26:02.679
 to accuse a

00:26:02.679 --> 00:26:03.240
 person is.

00:26:04.399 --> 00:26:04.759
 I don't

00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:05.459
 recommend it,

00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:06.259
 but pretty

00:26:06.259 --> 00:26:06.859
 fascinating.

00:26:07.819 --> 00:26:08.319
 They line up

00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:10.539
 suspects and

00:26:10.539 --> 00:26:11.019
 they make them

00:26:11.019 --> 00:26:11.579
 stick out their

00:26:11.579 --> 00:26:11.939
 tongue.

00:26:11.940 --> 00:26:12.000
 tongue.

00:26:13.140 --> 00:26:14.340
 And what they

00:26:14.340 --> 00:26:14.920
 do is they

00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:16.120
 touch a hot

00:26:16.120 --> 00:26:17.519
 knife onto

00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:18.480
 each tongue.

00:26:19.019 --> 00:26:19.500
 Now, the

00:26:19.500 --> 00:26:20.400
 innocent person,

00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:21.799
 the tongue will

00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:22.640
 sizzle because of

00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:23.840
 the saliva and

00:26:23.840 --> 00:26:24.539
 there'll be very

00:26:24.539 --> 00:26:25.279
 little pain.

00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:27.340
 But those that

00:26:27.340 --> 00:26:28.940
 are guilty will

00:26:28.940 --> 00:26:29.519
 have a dry

00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:30.920
 tongue and that

00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:31.920
 knife will stick

00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:33.320
 and burn and

00:26:33.320 --> 00:26:34.940
 vicious searing.

00:26:34.940 --> 00:26:37.779
 that making of

00:26:37.779 --> 00:26:38.519
 the dry mouth

00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:39.039
 was the

00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:39.600
 conscience.

00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:42.180
 The conscience

00:26:42.180 --> 00:26:42.880
 is what makes

00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:44.519
 our body

00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:45.220
 do that.

00:26:46.420 --> 00:26:46.920
 Like I said,

00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:47.180
 I don't

00:26:47.180 --> 00:26:47.920
 recommend that

00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:48.460
 parents.

00:26:48.600 --> 00:26:48.900
 You can use

00:26:48.900 --> 00:26:49.420
 that too if

00:26:49.420 --> 00:26:49.779
 you want

00:26:49.779 --> 00:26:51.299
 to give

00:26:51.299 --> 00:26:51.660
 parental

00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:52.180
 advice.

00:26:53.860 --> 00:26:54.420
 Now,

00:26:55.420 --> 00:26:57.480
 instinctively,

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:58.039
 we're built

00:26:58.039 --> 00:26:58.680
 with the

00:26:58.680 --> 00:26:59.660
 senses of

00:26:59.660 --> 00:27:00.080
 right and

00:27:00.080 --> 00:27:00.380
 wrong.

00:27:00.380 --> 00:27:02.520
 we're wired

00:27:02.520 --> 00:27:03.800
 so that when

00:27:03.800 --> 00:27:04.560
 we do wrong,

00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:05.760
 we have some

00:27:05.760 --> 00:27:06.960
 sort of guilt.

00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:08.060
 Now, of course,

00:27:08.520 --> 00:27:09.160
 our consciousness

00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:09.840
 is very in

00:27:09.840 --> 00:27:10.440
 sensitivity.

00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:12.100
 You know,

00:27:12.140 --> 00:27:13.220
 depending on a

00:27:13.220 --> 00:27:14.120
 person's right and

00:27:14.120 --> 00:27:15.060
 wrong, depending on

00:27:15.060 --> 00:27:15.980
 their mental makeup,

00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:16.840
 depending on a lot

00:27:16.840 --> 00:27:17.480
 of things, but

00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:20.500
 their sensitivity

00:27:20.500 --> 00:27:21.320
 of their

00:27:21.320 --> 00:27:21.960
 consciousness,

00:27:22.800 --> 00:27:22.960
 their

00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:23.740
 consciences,

00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:24.860
 not consciousness.

00:27:24.859 --> 00:27:27.240
 So as a

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:27.679
 parent,

00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:28.699
 you know,

00:27:28.740 --> 00:27:29.199
 one of my

00:27:29.199 --> 00:27:29.779
 jobs is to

00:27:29.779 --> 00:27:30.219
 teach my

00:27:30.219 --> 00:27:30.799
 kids right and

00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:31.339
 wrong so that

00:27:31.339 --> 00:27:32.019
 they can have

00:27:32.019 --> 00:27:32.519
 a sensitive

00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:33.439
 conscience, so

00:27:33.439 --> 00:27:33.919
 that they can

00:27:33.919 --> 00:27:34.859
 know right and

00:27:34.859 --> 00:27:35.679
 wrong and feel

00:27:35.679 --> 00:27:36.319
 guilty and

00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:37.779
 grow and

00:27:37.779 --> 00:27:38.839
 become good

00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:39.359
 people.

00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:40.479
 Now, of course,

00:27:40.539 --> 00:27:41.079
 as a parent,

00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:41.959
 as a Christian

00:27:41.959 --> 00:27:42.379
 parent, my

00:27:42.379 --> 00:27:43.079
 ultimate goal is

00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:43.679
 to raise up

00:27:43.679 --> 00:27:45.259
 godly, world

00:27:45.259 --> 00:27:46.199
 changing disciples

00:27:46.199 --> 00:27:46.839
 of Christ.

00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:49.039
 But God can

00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:50.119
 use learning

00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:51.119
 right and wrong

00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:51.899
 to lead them

00:27:51.899 --> 00:27:52.799
 to that point.

00:27:54.859 --> 00:27:55.959
 So as an

00:27:55.959 --> 00:27:56.599
 example, a

00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:57.299
 person who has

00:27:57.299 --> 00:27:57.939
 good knowledge

00:27:57.939 --> 00:27:58.459
 of God's

00:27:58.459 --> 00:27:59.779
 word, has

00:27:59.779 --> 00:28:00.859
 good knowledge

00:28:00.859 --> 00:28:01.359
 of right and

00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:01.740
 wrong, will

00:28:01.740 --> 00:28:02.439
 have a more

00:28:02.439 --> 00:28:03.459
 sensitive conscience

00:28:03.459 --> 00:28:04.019
 than someone who

00:28:04.019 --> 00:28:04.639
 does not know.

00:28:05.699 --> 00:28:07.319
 So if, you

00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:07.699
 know, somebody

00:28:07.699 --> 00:28:08.240
 who's really

00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:08.939
 sensitive and

00:28:08.939 --> 00:28:09.699
 somebody curses,

00:28:09.899 --> 00:28:10.399
 you kind of

00:28:10.399 --> 00:28:10.859
 feel, oh,

00:28:10.939 --> 00:28:11.799
 that's, why

00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:12.079
 do you do

00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:12.319
 that?

00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:13.119
 Or, you

00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:13.339
 know, you

00:28:13.339 --> 00:28:13.859
 see it in a

00:28:13.859 --> 00:28:14.899
 TV show or

00:28:14.899 --> 00:28:15.459
 a movie.

00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:16.199
 I didn't like

00:28:16.199 --> 00:28:16.479
 that.

00:28:17.139 --> 00:28:17.719
 While others

00:28:17.719 --> 00:28:18.419
 might just

00:28:18.419 --> 00:28:19.599
 say, eh,

00:28:20.179 --> 00:28:20.919
 no big deal,

00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:21.399
 just kind of,

00:28:21.939 --> 00:28:22.559
 I didn't think

00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:23.179
 anything of it.

00:28:23.180 --> 00:28:25.779
 sensitivity will

00:28:25.779 --> 00:28:27.740
 also vary based

00:28:27.740 --> 00:28:29.000
 on whether

00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:29.620
 that conscience

00:28:29.620 --> 00:28:30.580
 is obeyed or

00:28:30.580 --> 00:28:31.320
 resisted.

00:28:32.779 --> 00:28:33.539
 You know, we

00:28:33.539 --> 00:28:34.620
 have lepers in

00:28:34.620 --> 00:28:36.039
 the Bible and

00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:36.539
 back in the

00:28:36.539 --> 00:28:37.220
 days of the

00:28:37.220 --> 00:28:37.779
 Bible, they

00:28:37.779 --> 00:28:38.320
 thought that

00:28:38.320 --> 00:28:39.759
 lepers, that

00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:40.519
 the disease was

00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:41.840
 that just created

00:28:41.840 --> 00:28:42.600
 sores on their

00:28:42.600 --> 00:28:44.779
 bodies and they

00:28:44.779 --> 00:28:45.539
 just appeared and

00:28:45.539 --> 00:28:46.060
 they didn't know

00:28:46.060 --> 00:28:46.440
 why.

00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:47.299
 Well, they

00:28:47.299 --> 00:28:48.160
 eventually came to

00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:48.799
 the realization

00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:50.299
 or found out

00:28:50.299 --> 00:28:51.060
 that the

00:28:51.060 --> 00:28:51.820
 leprosy was

00:28:51.819 --> 00:28:52.500
 the their

00:28:52.500 --> 00:28:53.799
 bodies became

00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:55.480
 insensitive to

00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:56.339
 what had

00:28:56.339 --> 00:28:56.679
 happened.

00:28:56.819 --> 00:28:58.399
 So so they

00:28:58.399 --> 00:28:58.919
 get a sore,

00:28:59.000 --> 00:28:59.339
 they get a

00:28:59.339 --> 00:29:00.079
 cut and they

00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:00.419
 don't even

00:29:00.419 --> 00:29:00.819
 know it.

00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:02.899
 They, you

00:29:02.899 --> 00:29:03.200
 know, cut

00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:03.839
 their arm off

00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:04.039
 and they

00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:04.319
 don't even

00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:04.839
 feel it.

00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:06.399
 There's just

00:29:06.399 --> 00:29:07.200
 the way that

00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:08.200
 the leprosy

00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:08.720
 works.

00:29:10.899 --> 00:29:11.779
 They become

00:29:11.779 --> 00:29:13.319
 numb to the

00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:13.720
 pain.

00:29:13.980 --> 00:29:14.339
 Their body

00:29:14.339 --> 00:29:15.099
 doesn't feel

00:29:15.099 --> 00:29:16.039
 it, so their

00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:16.720
 body just gets

00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:17.740
 worse and

00:29:17.740 --> 00:29:18.240
 worse.

00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:22.160
 there may

00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:22.900
 come a time

00:29:22.900 --> 00:29:23.559
 when a

00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:24.160
 conscience is

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:24.900
 neglected so

00:29:24.900 --> 00:29:25.539
 much that it

00:29:25.539 --> 00:29:26.259
 never gives a

00:29:26.259 --> 00:29:26.980
 warning sign.

00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:29.299
 In a right and

00:29:29.299 --> 00:29:30.160
 wrong situation,

00:29:30.740 --> 00:29:32.819
 our consciences

00:29:32.819 --> 00:29:33.819
 become like the

00:29:33.819 --> 00:29:34.160
 lepers.

00:29:35.019 --> 00:29:36.559
 We just don't

00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:37.019
 feel it.

00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:38.220
 We just don't

00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:39.440
 realize it.

00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:41.799
 Our body, our

00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:42.380
 minds, our

00:29:42.380 --> 00:29:43.120
 conscience becomes

00:29:43.120 --> 00:29:45.339
 numb to seeing

00:29:45.339 --> 00:29:46.099
 and doing and

00:29:46.099 --> 00:29:47.039
 hearing things.

00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:50.079
 see, God

00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:51.559
 can use and

00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:52.159
 uses the

00:29:52.159 --> 00:29:52.740
 conscience of

00:29:52.740 --> 00:29:53.839
 men to

00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:54.460
 guide them

00:29:54.460 --> 00:29:54.819
 towards

00:29:54.819 --> 00:29:55.359
 himself.

00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:58.819
 He also

00:29:58.819 --> 00:29:59.500
 uses it to

00:29:59.500 --> 00:30:00.299
 convict men.

00:30:02.740 --> 00:30:03.779
 We've all

00:30:03.779 --> 00:30:04.240
 been given

00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:05.200
 some sense

00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:06.379
 of right

00:30:06.379 --> 00:30:06.980
 and wrong.

00:30:11.379 --> 00:30:12.359
 No matter

00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:13.460
 how guilty

00:30:13.460 --> 00:30:14.099
 they feel,

00:30:14.159 --> 00:30:14.720
 it will not

00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:15.379
 save them

00:30:15.379 --> 00:30:16.339
 from judgment

00:30:16.339 --> 00:30:16.619
 though.

00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:17.639
 No matter

00:30:17.639 --> 00:30:18.279
 how guilty

00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:18.920
 you feel,

00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:19.539
 no matter

00:30:19.539 --> 00:30:20.339
 how sensitive

00:30:20.339 --> 00:30:21.240
 you are,

00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:23.539
 it's not

00:30:23.539 --> 00:30:23.740
 going to

00:30:23.740 --> 00:30:24.240
 save you.

00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:25.299
 No matter

00:30:25.299 --> 00:30:26.319
 how remorseful

00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:26.899
 you feel and

00:30:26.899 --> 00:30:27.180
 no matter

00:30:27.180 --> 00:30:28.180
 what action

00:30:28.180 --> 00:30:28.960
 you take to

00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:29.399
 right the

00:30:29.399 --> 00:30:29.799
 wrong,

00:30:31.460 --> 00:30:31.779
 you're going

00:30:31.779 --> 00:30:32.180
 to still be

00:30:32.180 --> 00:30:32.519
 judged.

00:30:34.740 --> 00:30:35.460
 In those

00:30:35.460 --> 00:30:35.980
 moments,

00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:37.180
 those whispers,

00:30:37.180 --> 00:30:37.320
 words,

00:30:37.840 --> 00:30:40.779
 the moral law of

00:30:40.779 --> 00:30:41.200
 God is

00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:41.580
 spoken.

00:30:41.580 --> 00:30:43.620
 In those

00:30:43.620 --> 00:30:44.019
 moments,

00:30:44.100 --> 00:30:44.580
 the guilty

00:30:44.580 --> 00:30:45.320
 feelings,

00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:46.560
 the moral

00:30:46.560 --> 00:30:47.160
 law is

00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:47.560
 spoken.

00:30:48.860 --> 00:30:49.420
 In those

00:30:49.420 --> 00:30:49.980
 moments with

00:30:49.980 --> 00:30:50.860
 the faster

00:30:50.860 --> 00:30:51.660
 heartbeat and

00:30:51.660 --> 00:30:52.340
 the what do

00:30:52.340 --> 00:30:52.900
 I do?

00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:54.000
 The moral

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:54.820
 law of God

00:30:54.820 --> 00:30:55.380
 is spoken.

00:30:55.380 --> 00:30:59.580
 And the

00:30:59.580 --> 00:31:00.260
 moral law is

00:31:00.260 --> 00:31:01.180
 what condemns

00:31:01.180 --> 00:31:04.160
 those who

00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:04.540
 are without

00:31:04.540 --> 00:31:05.100
 Christ.

00:31:05.980 --> 00:31:06.520
 Listen to this

00:31:06.520 --> 00:31:07.160
 quote from

00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:08.560
 Charles Spurgeon.

00:31:10.060 --> 00:31:10.380
 Do you

00:31:10.380 --> 00:31:11.180
 imagine that if

00:31:11.180 --> 00:31:11.620
 men's

00:31:11.620 --> 00:31:12.140
 consciences

00:31:12.140 --> 00:31:13.300
 always spoke

00:31:13.300 --> 00:31:14.080
 loudly and

00:31:14.080 --> 00:31:14.720
 clearly to

00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:15.040
 them,

00:31:15.260 --> 00:31:15.800
 they would

00:31:15.800 --> 00:31:16.380
 live in the

00:31:16.380 --> 00:31:17.160
 daily commission

00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:17.820
 of acts

00:31:17.820 --> 00:31:18.660
 which are as

00:31:18.660 --> 00:31:19.380
 opposed to the

00:31:19.380 --> 00:31:19.880
 right as

00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:20.620
 darkness to

00:31:20.620 --> 00:31:21.000
 light?

00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:22.839
 No,

00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:23.259
 beloved.

00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:24.599
 Conscience can

00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:25.599
 tell me that I

00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:26.140
 am a sinner,

00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:27.619
 but conscience

00:31:27.619 --> 00:31:28.480
 cannot make me

00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:29.119
 feel that I

00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:29.500
 am one.

00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:31.880
 Conscience may

00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:32.539
 tell me that

00:31:32.539 --> 00:31:33.180
 such and such

00:31:33.180 --> 00:31:33.759
 a thing is

00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:34.180
 wrong,

00:31:34.980 --> 00:31:35.920
 but how wrong

00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:36.339
 it is,

00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:36.740
 conscience

00:31:36.740 --> 00:31:37.579
 itself does

00:31:37.579 --> 00:31:38.160
 not know.

00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:39.960
 Did any

00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:40.880
 man's conscience

00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:41.680
 unenlightened

00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:42.259
 by the Spirit

00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:43.279
 ever tell him

00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:44.200
 that his sins

00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:45.259
 deserved

00:31:45.259 --> 00:31:46.259
 damnation?

00:31:48.380 --> 00:31:48.940
 Even our

00:31:48.940 --> 00:31:49.519
 conscience

00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:50.400
 condemns us.

00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:50.980
 Even those

00:31:50.980 --> 00:31:52.019
 that small

00:31:52.019 --> 00:31:53.099
 voice like

00:31:53.099 --> 00:31:53.860
 Pinocchio and

00:31:53.860 --> 00:31:54.519
 Jiminy Cricket

00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:57.380
 condemns us.

00:32:00.120 --> 00:32:00.700
 So,

00:32:01.099 --> 00:32:01.759
 rejection of

00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:02.279
 creation

00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:02.980
 condemns

00:32:02.980 --> 00:32:04.319
 the Gentile.

00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:05.960
 Their conduct

00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:06.920
 condemns

00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.200
 the Gentile.

00:32:09.339 --> 00:32:10.240
 Their conscience

00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:11.420
 condemns.

00:32:12.299 --> 00:32:12.880
 But finally,

00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:14.400
 their conflicting

00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:15.140
 thoughts

00:32:15.140 --> 00:32:16.140
 condemn them.

00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:17.960
 The last part

00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:18.740
 of verse 15.

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:21.980
 And their

00:32:21.980 --> 00:32:23.099
 conflicting thoughts

00:32:23.099 --> 00:32:24.480
 accuse or even

00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:25.519
 excuse them.

00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:29.200
 Kind of builds

00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:29.620
 out of the

00:32:29.620 --> 00:32:30.039
 conscience,

00:32:30.180 --> 00:32:30.720
 also bears

00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:31.319
 witness that

00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:31.960
 statement just

00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:32.700
 before that.

00:32:34.120 --> 00:32:34.660
 See, not only

00:32:34.660 --> 00:32:35.000
 does their

00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:35.960
 conscience condemn

00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:36.940
 them, the

00:32:36.940 --> 00:32:37.720
 conflict that's

00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:38.200
 within their

00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:40.200
 head does

00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:40.920
 as well.

00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:42.440
 See,

00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:43.420
 someone may

00:32:43.420 --> 00:32:44.180
 fight crime

00:32:44.180 --> 00:32:44.799
 fervently

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:46.460
 and never

00:32:46.460 --> 00:32:47.120
 give credit

00:32:47.120 --> 00:32:47.720
 to following

00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:48.320
 the commands

00:32:48.320 --> 00:32:48.820
 of Scripture.

00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:50.180
 Someone may

00:32:50.180 --> 00:32:50.900
 fight world

00:32:50.900 --> 00:32:52.059
 hunger and

00:32:52.059 --> 00:32:53.259
 never have

00:32:53.259 --> 00:32:53.680
 their lives

00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:54.279
 changed by

00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:54.920
 Jesus Christ.

00:32:55.380 --> 00:32:56.220
 Either example,

00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:56.720
 though, speaks

00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:57.320
 to the evidence

00:32:57.320 --> 00:32:58.180
 that they know

00:32:58.180 --> 00:32:58.799
 what is right

00:32:58.799 --> 00:32:59.240
 and what is

00:32:59.240 --> 00:32:59.580
 wrong.

00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:01.720
 See, the picture

00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:02.759
 here is a

00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:03.700
 courtroom where

00:33:03.700 --> 00:33:04.299
 on one side

00:33:04.299 --> 00:33:04.759
 you have the

00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:05.259
 accused.

00:33:06.140 --> 00:33:06.420
 Okay,

00:33:06.420 --> 00:33:07.220
 you've done

00:33:07.220 --> 00:33:07.620
 this, this,

00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:08.100
 this, you're

00:33:08.100 --> 00:33:10.460
 guilty.

00:33:11.080 --> 00:33:11.460
 And on the

00:33:11.460 --> 00:33:12.019
 other side, you

00:33:12.019 --> 00:33:12.360
 have the

00:33:12.360 --> 00:33:12.980
 excuse, you

00:33:12.980 --> 00:33:14.420
 have, but I've

00:33:14.420 --> 00:33:15.380
 done this and

00:33:15.380 --> 00:33:16.300
 I've done this

00:33:16.300 --> 00:33:16.940
 and I've thought

00:33:16.940 --> 00:33:17.360
 this.

00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:20.840
 That's the

00:33:20.840 --> 00:33:21.460
 picture, but

00:33:21.460 --> 00:33:23.759
 either way,

00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:25.860
 guilt is the

00:33:25.860 --> 00:33:26.519
 final verdict.

00:33:27.779 --> 00:33:28.320
 See, even the

00:33:28.320 --> 00:33:29.460
 hardest pagan or

00:33:29.460 --> 00:33:30.160
 atheist or

00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:31.779
 agnostic know

00:33:31.779 --> 00:33:32.560
 what is good and

00:33:32.560 --> 00:33:33.120
 what is wrong.

00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:34.800
 Think about

00:33:34.800 --> 00:33:35.039
 it.

00:33:36.420 --> 00:33:40.480
 There is a

00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:41.519
 universal sense

00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:42.300
 of remorse when

00:33:42.300 --> 00:33:42.980
 you hear a

00:33:42.980 --> 00:33:43.600
 story about a

00:33:43.600 --> 00:33:44.140
 young child

00:33:44.140 --> 00:33:44.920
 getting abused

00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:45.440
 or murdered

00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:48.779
 or an elderly

00:33:48.779 --> 00:33:50.640
 person that

00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:50.860
 way.

00:33:50.940 --> 00:33:51.880
 Everybody knows

00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:52.420
 right from

00:33:52.420 --> 00:33:53.380
 wrong for the

00:33:53.380 --> 00:33:54.060
 most part,

00:33:54.840 --> 00:33:55.580
 even with our

00:33:55.580 --> 00:33:56.340
 sinful nature.

00:33:58.320 --> 00:33:59.279
 It is because

00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:00.360
 within every

00:34:00.360 --> 00:34:01.120
 human being,

00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:02.100
 a conversation,

00:34:02.660 --> 00:34:03.420
 a discussion,

00:34:04.060 --> 00:34:05.019
 an exchange is

00:34:05.019 --> 00:34:05.460
 occurring,

00:34:05.600 --> 00:34:06.259
 deciding whether

00:34:06.259 --> 00:34:07.180
 or not what

00:34:07.180 --> 00:34:07.720
 has happened

00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:08.219
 was good or

00:34:08.219 --> 00:34:08.559
 bad.

00:34:09.500 --> 00:34:10.199
 What is what

00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:10.639
 am I going to

00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:11.780
 do is good or

00:34:11.780 --> 00:34:12.159
 bad?

00:34:14.539 --> 00:34:15.400
 And if it was

00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:16.699
 wrong, then

00:34:16.699 --> 00:34:17.360
 there is sadness

00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:18.460
 and those those

00:34:18.460 --> 00:34:19.260
 thoughts try to

00:34:19.260 --> 00:34:20.000
 excuse that

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:20.420
 person.

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:22.159
 Well, I felt

00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:22.900
 bad for that.

00:34:23.099 --> 00:34:24.440
 That was sad.

00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:27.360
 There's malice.

00:34:28.860 --> 00:34:30.059
 There's desire to

00:34:30.059 --> 00:34:31.179
 do bad, to do

00:34:31.179 --> 00:34:31.599
 evil.

00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:32.699
 And those

00:34:32.699 --> 00:34:33.139
 thoughts are

00:34:33.139 --> 00:34:33.420
 going to

00:34:33.420 --> 00:34:33.960
 accuse.

00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:36.299
 Either way,

00:34:36.339 --> 00:34:36.779
 though, based

00:34:36.779 --> 00:34:37.259
 on Romans

00:34:37.259 --> 00:34:37.960
 chapter three,

00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:39.159
 all have

00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:39.559
 sinned and

00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:40.039
 fall short of

00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:40.500
 the glory of

00:34:40.500 --> 00:34:40.639
 God.

00:34:40.739 --> 00:34:41.319
 No one is

00:34:41.319 --> 00:34:41.659
 righteous.

00:34:41.799 --> 00:34:42.139
 No, not

00:34:42.139 --> 00:34:42.420
 one.

00:34:43.619 --> 00:34:43.980
 So just

00:34:43.980 --> 00:34:44.719
 because you do

00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:45.639
 good things

00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:47.039
 more than you

00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:48.019
 do evil things

00:34:48.019 --> 00:34:48.980
 does not mean

00:34:48.980 --> 00:34:49.440
 that you'll be

00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:50.000
 justified.

00:34:52.799 --> 00:34:53.360
 And just

00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:53.759
 because you

00:34:53.759 --> 00:34:54.339
 know good

00:34:54.339 --> 00:34:55.559
 and you know

00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:56.900
 evil does

00:34:56.900 --> 00:34:57.519
 not mean that

00:34:57.519 --> 00:34:58.360
 as well.

00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:00.400
 look at

00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:01.180
 verse 16.

00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:03.140
 The section

00:35:03.140 --> 00:35:03.900
 ends with

00:35:03.900 --> 00:35:05.740
 I'll back up

00:35:05.740 --> 00:35:06.559
 to verse 15.

00:35:07.160 --> 00:35:07.840
 They show

00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:08.820
 they being the

00:35:08.820 --> 00:35:09.559
 Gentiles being

00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:10.640
 us show that

00:35:10.640 --> 00:35:11.220
 the word of

00:35:11.220 --> 00:35:11.760
 the law is

00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:12.180
 written on

00:35:12.180 --> 00:35:12.780
 their hearts

00:35:12.780 --> 00:35:14.240
 while their

00:35:14.240 --> 00:35:15.320
 conscience also

00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:16.120
 bears witness

00:35:16.120 --> 00:35:16.920
 and their

00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:17.400
 conflicting

00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:18.420
 thoughts accuse

00:35:18.420 --> 00:35:19.559
 or even excuse

00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:20.440
 them on that

00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:21.079
 day when

00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:22.120
 according to

00:35:22.120 --> 00:35:22.880
 my gospel,

00:35:23.420 --> 00:35:24.120
 God judges

00:35:24.120 --> 00:35:24.860
 the secrets of

00:35:24.860 --> 00:35:25.800
 men by

00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:26.500
 Christ Jesus.

00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:29.240
 The scariest

00:35:29.240 --> 00:35:30.260
 fact here,

00:35:30.720 --> 00:35:31.620
 I think,

00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:32.620
 is that God

00:35:32.620 --> 00:35:33.039
 knows the

00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:33.640
 hearts of

00:35:33.640 --> 00:35:33.940
 men.

00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:35.780
 There's the

00:35:35.780 --> 00:35:36.539
 secrets of

00:35:36.539 --> 00:35:36.860
 men.

00:35:41.940 --> 00:35:42.500
 Scary.

00:35:44.059 --> 00:35:44.579
 The apostle

00:35:44.579 --> 00:35:45.660
 John says

00:35:45.660 --> 00:35:46.559
 in John

00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:47.180
 chapter 2,

00:35:47.260 --> 00:35:47.720
 but Jesus

00:35:47.720 --> 00:35:48.500
 on his part

00:35:48.500 --> 00:35:48.940
 did not

00:35:48.940 --> 00:35:49.720
 entrust himself

00:35:49.720 --> 00:35:50.200
 to men

00:35:50.200 --> 00:35:51.400
 because he

00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:51.880
 knew all

00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:53.099
 people and

00:35:53.099 --> 00:35:53.840
 needed no

00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:54.400
 one to bear

00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:55.000
 witness about

00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:55.640
 man for he

00:35:55.640 --> 00:35:56.480
 himself knew

00:35:56.480 --> 00:35:57.559
 what was in

00:35:57.559 --> 00:35:57.920
 man.

00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:00.500
 Jesus.

00:36:01.579 --> 00:36:02.500
 God speaking

00:36:02.500 --> 00:36:03.039
 in Jeremiah

00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:04.059
 17 says,

00:36:04.420 --> 00:36:04.800
 I, the

00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:05.599
 Lord, search

00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:06.240
 the heart

00:36:06.240 --> 00:36:07.280
 and test

00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:08.059
 the mind.

00:36:10.180 --> 00:36:11.079
 David says

00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:11.579
 of God

00:36:11.579 --> 00:36:12.200
 in Psalm

00:36:12.200 --> 00:36:13.079
 139,

00:36:13.340 --> 00:36:13.900
 Oh, Lord,

00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:14.240
 you have

00:36:14.240 --> 00:36:14.980
 searched me

00:36:14.980 --> 00:36:15.660
 and known

00:36:15.660 --> 00:36:15.920
 me.

00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:16.940
 You know

00:36:16.940 --> 00:36:17.539
 when I sit

00:36:17.539 --> 00:36:17.920
 down and

00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:18.519
 when I rise

00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:19.260
 up, you

00:36:19.260 --> 00:36:20.039
 discern my

00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:20.620
 thoughts from

00:36:20.620 --> 00:36:21.059
 afar.

00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:22.039
 You search

00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:22.400
 out my

00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:22.960
 path and

00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:23.440
 my lying

00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:24.280
 down and

00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:25.000
 are acquainted

00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:26.220
 with all

00:36:26.220 --> 00:36:27.740
 my ways.

00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:29.380
 That is

00:36:29.380 --> 00:36:30.440
 scary stuff.

00:36:32.019 --> 00:36:33.019
 So what

00:36:33.019 --> 00:36:33.380
 you do

00:36:33.380 --> 00:36:34.460
 behind closed

00:36:34.460 --> 00:36:35.360
 doors, what

00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:35.980
 you think

00:36:35.980 --> 00:36:36.599
 inside of

00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:37.140
 your brain,

00:36:37.220 --> 00:36:37.579
 what you

00:36:37.579 --> 00:36:39.740
 desire, God

00:36:39.740 --> 00:36:40.340
 knows.

00:36:42.240 --> 00:36:43.039
 Wow.

00:36:45.260 --> 00:36:46.660
 God knows

00:36:46.660 --> 00:36:47.380
 the heart

00:36:47.380 --> 00:36:48.079
 of men and

00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:48.700
 will judge

00:36:48.700 --> 00:36:49.440
 based on

00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:50.200
 that evidence

00:36:50.200 --> 00:36:51.360
 as well.

00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:51.500
 God.

00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:54.840
 So what

00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:55.220
 does that

00:36:55.220 --> 00:36:55.720
 mean for

00:36:55.720 --> 00:36:56.380
 the Gentiles

00:36:56.380 --> 00:36:56.680
 then?

00:36:57.099 --> 00:36:57.440
 OK, so

00:36:57.440 --> 00:36:57.980
 they're guilty.

00:36:58.120 --> 00:36:58.500
 Got it.

00:36:58.680 --> 00:36:59.240
 Four things

00:36:59.240 --> 00:36:59.880
 God judges

00:36:59.880 --> 00:37:00.800
 check.

00:37:01.099 --> 00:37:01.380
 So what

00:37:01.380 --> 00:37:01.640
 does that

00:37:01.640 --> 00:37:02.079
 mean about

00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:02.579
 us?

00:37:03.200 --> 00:37:03.860
 We don't

00:37:03.860 --> 00:37:04.720
 have the

00:37:04.720 --> 00:37:05.019
 law.

00:37:06.780 --> 00:37:07.420
 How can

00:37:07.420 --> 00:37:07.800
 we be

00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:08.220
 innocent

00:37:08.220 --> 00:37:08.599
 then?

00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:10.920
 Well,

00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:12.079
 Romans 11

00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:12.640
 talks about

00:37:12.640 --> 00:37:13.640
 being grafted

00:37:13.640 --> 00:37:14.620
 in to the

00:37:14.620 --> 00:37:15.019
 family.

00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:17.019
 That if we

00:37:17.019 --> 00:37:17.680
 are believers,

00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:18.559
 that we are

00:37:18.559 --> 00:37:19.280
 now, if we

00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:19.840
 are Christians

00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:20.440
 and followers

00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:21.099
 of Christ, we

00:37:21.099 --> 00:37:21.920
 are now God's

00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:22.659
 chosen people

00:37:22.659 --> 00:37:23.320
 spiritually.

00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:25.119
 There's a

00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:25.740
 spiritual thing,

00:37:25.780 --> 00:37:26.200
 no longer

00:37:26.200 --> 00:37:26.920
 physical, no

00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:27.380
 longer just

00:37:27.380 --> 00:37:27.820
 because your

00:37:27.820 --> 00:37:28.440
 blood is

00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:28.740
 Jewish.

00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:31.280
 We have

00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:32.000
 been grafted

00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:32.280
 in.

00:37:32.579 --> 00:37:32.760
 And so

00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:33.280
 now we

00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:35.700
 have the

00:37:35.700 --> 00:37:36.099
 law.

00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:38.139
 Ephesians

00:37:38.139 --> 00:37:38.559
 2.

00:37:41.740 --> 00:37:42.300
 Turn

00:37:42.300 --> 00:37:42.539
 there.

00:37:43.460 --> 00:37:43.880
 Ephesians

00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:44.559
 chapter 2.

00:37:50.440 --> 00:38:01.179
 Ephesians

00:38:01.179 --> 00:38:01.880
 chapter 2.

00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:03.559
 Start reading

00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:05.500
 in verse 13.

00:38:06.300 --> 00:38:07.179
 But now

00:38:07.179 --> 00:38:07.800
 in Christ

00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:08.480
 Jesus, you

00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:08.980
 who are once

00:38:08.980 --> 00:38:10.500
 far off, have

00:38:10.500 --> 00:38:10.820
 been brought

00:38:10.820 --> 00:38:11.420
 near by the

00:38:11.420 --> 00:38:11.740
 blood of

00:38:11.740 --> 00:38:12.139
 Christ.

00:38:12.980 --> 00:38:13.380
 For he

00:38:13.380 --> 00:38:14.000
 himself is

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:14.559
 our peace

00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:14.860
 who has

00:38:14.860 --> 00:38:15.280
 made us

00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:16.000
 both one

00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:16.400
 and has

00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:16.980
 broken down

00:38:16.980 --> 00:38:17.280
 in his

00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:17.800
 flesh the

00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:18.179
 dividing

00:38:18.179 --> 00:38:18.639
 wall of

00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:19.200
 hostility.

00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:20.059
 By

00:38:20.059 --> 00:38:20.719
 abolishing

00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:21.139
 the law

00:38:21.139 --> 00:38:21.299
 of

00:38:21.779 --> 00:38:22.299
 expressed

00:38:22.299 --> 00:38:22.500
 in

00:38:22.500 --> 00:38:23.059
 ordinances

00:38:23.059 --> 00:38:23.839
 that he

00:38:23.839 --> 00:38:24.019
 might

00:38:24.019 --> 00:38:24.399
 create

00:38:24.399 --> 00:38:24.539
 in

00:38:24.539 --> 00:38:24.879
 himself

00:38:24.879 --> 00:38:25.339
 one

00:38:25.339 --> 00:38:25.659
 new

00:38:25.659 --> 00:38:26.019
 man

00:38:26.019 --> 00:38:26.179
 in

00:38:26.500 --> 00:38:26.619

00:38:26.619 --> 00:38:26.719
 the

00:38:26.719 --> 00:38:27.039
 two.

00:38:27.759 --> 00:38:27.980
 So

00:38:27.980 --> 00:38:28.259
 making

00:38:28.259 --> 00:38:28.819
 peace

00:38:28.819 --> 00:38:29.779
 and

00:38:29.779 --> 00:38:29.980
 might

00:38:29.980 --> 00:38:30.399
 reconcile

00:38:30.399 --> 00:38:31.299
 us both

00:38:31.299 --> 00:38:32.279

00:38:32.279 --> 00:38:32.719
 in one

00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:33.079
 body

00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:33.539
 through the

00:38:33.539 --> 00:38:34.019
 cross,

00:38:34.219 --> 00:38:34.659
 thereby

00:38:34.659 --> 00:38:35.359
 killing

00:38:35.359 --> 00:38:35.799

00:38:35.799 --> 00:38:36.379
 hostility.

00:38:36.799 --> 00:38:37.019
 So what

00:38:37.019 --> 00:38:37.179
 he's

00:38:37.179 --> 00:38:37.639
 saying is

00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:38.179
 that wall

00:38:38.179 --> 00:38:38.579

00:38:39.539 --> 00:38:39.679
 been

00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:39.980
 broken

00:38:39.980 --> 00:38:40.319
 down

00:38:40.319 --> 00:38:40.599
 because

00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:40.799
 of

00:38:40.799 --> 00:38:41.099
 Christ

00:38:41.099 --> 00:38:41.259
 and

00:38:41.259 --> 00:38:41.399

00:38:41.399 --> 00:38:41.819

00:38:41.819 --> 00:38:42.139
 and

00:38:42.139 --> 00:38:42.279
 the

00:38:42.279 --> 00:38:42.559

00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:42.719

00:38:42.939 --> 00:38:43.559
 suffered.

00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:45.319
 And

00:38:45.319 --> 00:38:45.439
 he

00:38:45.439 --> 00:38:45.719
 came

00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:46.199
 and preached

00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:46.219
