00:08:25.870 --> 00:08:29.790
God<00:08:26.110><c> did</c><00:08:26.329><c> it,</c><00:08:26.649><c> and</c><00:08:26.829><c> it</c><00:08:26.910><c> was</c><00:08:27.069><c> done,</c><00:08:27.350><c> and</c><00:08:27.689><c> the</c><00:08:27.810><c> whole</c><00:08:28.069><c> temple</c><00:08:28.350><c> service</c><00:08:28.649><c> was</c><00:08:28.889><c> over.</c>

00:08:29.889 --> 00:08:31.290
And<00:08:30.029><c> he</c><00:08:30.209><c> symbolized</c><00:08:30.889><c> that.</c>

00:08:31.509 --> 00:08:33.669

00:08:35.990 --> 00:08:37.590
He<00:08:36.409><c> nailed</c><00:08:36.669><c> it.</c><00:08:36.789><c> It</c><00:08:36.889><c> was</c><00:08:37.250><c> dead.</c>

00:08:37.830 --> 00:08:41.350
The<00:08:38.070><c> law</c><00:08:38.330><c> died</c><00:08:39.149><c> on</c><00:08:40.590><c> the</c><00:08:40.830><c> cross.</c>

00:08:41.350 --> 00:08:45.389
That's<00:08:42.250><c> right</c><00:08:42.429><c> from</c><00:08:42.570><c> Colossians</c><00:08:42.929><c> 2,</c><00:08:43.490><c> and</c><00:08:43.710><c> it</c><00:08:43.809><c> was</c><00:08:44.090><c> not</c><00:08:44.350><c> resurrected.</c>

00:08:46.009 --> 00:08:48.769
The<00:08:46.149><c> Lord</c><00:08:46.370><c> Jesus</c><00:08:46.690><c> resurrected,</c><00:08:47.289><c> the</c><00:08:47.549><c> law</c><00:08:47.769><c> stayed</c><00:08:48.230><c> dead.</c>

00:08:49.230 --> 00:08:53.769
The<00:08:49.529><c> temple</c><00:08:49.850><c> veil</c><00:08:50.110><c> was</c><00:08:50.389><c> rent</c><00:08:50.690><c> in</c><00:08:51.049><c> two,</c><00:08:52.169><c> and</c><00:08:52.429><c> it</c><00:08:52.529><c> was</c><00:08:52.750><c> over.</c>

00:08:53.830 --> 00:08:57.389
But<00:08:54.110><c> you</c><00:08:54.330><c> can't</c><00:08:54.789><c> get</c><00:08:55.009><c> that</c><00:08:55.330><c> out</c><00:08:55.509><c> of</c><00:08:55.649><c> the</c><00:08:55.909><c> blood</c><00:08:56.070><c> and</c><00:08:56.269><c> the</c><00:08:56.450><c> thinking</c><00:08:56.649><c> of</c><00:08:56.889><c> the</c><00:08:56.970><c> head</c><00:08:57.070><c> of</c>

00:08:58.950 --> 00:09:01.529

00:09:01.850 --> 00:09:05.110
It's<00:09:02.370><c> just</c><00:09:02.529><c> not</c><00:09:02.769><c> that</c><00:09:02.970><c> easy.</c><00:09:03.929><c> I</c><00:09:04.169><c> know.</c>

00:09:06.350 --> 00:09:09.990
I,<00:09:06.970><c> in</c><00:09:07.309><c> my</c><00:09:07.549><c> own</c><00:09:07.710><c> little</c><00:09:07.929><c> way,</c><00:09:08.409><c> had</c><00:09:08.590><c> to</c><00:09:08.809><c> deal</c><00:09:08.970><c> with</c><00:09:09.230><c> that.</c>

00:09:11.429 --> 00:09:14.070

00:09:14.309 --> 00:09:18.309
Not<00:09:14.509><c> that</c><00:09:14.649><c> I</c><00:09:14.769><c> was</c><00:09:14.950><c> an</c><00:09:15.090><c> orthodox</c><00:09:15.549><c> Jew</c><00:09:15.690><c> by</c><00:09:15.950><c> any</c><00:09:16.149><c> means,</c><00:09:16.830><c> not</c><00:09:17.090><c> even</c><00:09:17.370><c> close.</c>

00:09:18.509 --> 00:09:23.730
But<00:09:18.690><c> I</c><00:09:18.789><c> can</c><00:09:18.990><c> imagine</c><00:09:19.429><c> how</c><00:09:20.070><c> utterly</c><00:09:20.450><c> hard,</c><00:09:22.110><c> how</c><00:09:22.429><c> utterly</c><00:09:22.789><c> difficult</c><00:09:23.470><c> this</c>

00:09:23.730 --> 00:09:24.169
would<00:09:23.970><c> be,</c>

00:09:24.190 --> 00:09:28.409
and<00:09:24.370><c> why</c><00:09:24.710><c> it</c><00:09:24.970><c> became</c><00:09:25.429><c> such</c><00:09:26.269><c> an</c><00:09:26.450><c> issue</c><00:09:26.629><c> in</c><00:09:26.769><c> New</c><00:09:26.950><c> Testament</c><00:09:27.330><c> times.</c>

00:09:29.549 --> 00:09:31.610
What<00:09:29.769><c> about</c><00:09:30.090><c> the</c><00:09:30.169><c> law?</c><00:09:30.389><c> But</c><00:09:30.509><c> don't</c><00:09:30.710><c> we</c><00:09:30.929><c> still</c><00:09:31.110><c> have</c><00:09:31.269><c> to</c><00:09:31.450><c> keep</c>

00:09:31.610 --> 00:09:32.049
the<00:09:31.850><c> Sabbath?</c>

00:09:32.169 --> 00:09:35.090
Don't<00:09:32.429><c> we</c><00:09:32.669><c> still</c><00:09:32.889><c> have</c><00:09:33.070><c> to</c><00:09:33.210><c> do</c><00:09:33.350><c> this</c><00:09:33.529><c> in</c><00:09:34.169><c> every</c><00:09:34.629><c> ecclesia,</c>

00:09:35.429 --> 00:09:37.850
in<00:09:35.570><c> every</c><00:09:35.870><c> synagogue</c><00:09:36.289><c> where</c><00:09:36.509><c> Paul</c><00:09:36.789><c> preached</c><00:09:37.190><c> or</c><00:09:37.490><c> argued</c><00:09:37.669><c> he</c>

00:09:37.850 --> 00:09:39.090
had<00:09:38.090><c> to</c><00:09:38.250><c> deal</c><00:09:38.389><c> with</c><00:09:38.570><c> that</c><00:09:38.730><c> issue?</c>

00:09:39.090 --> 00:09:41.009
What<00:09:39.870><c> do</c><00:09:40.049><c> we</c><00:09:40.149><c> do</c><00:09:40.330><c> now</c><00:09:40.470><c> with</c><00:09:40.669><c> the</c><00:09:40.830><c> law?</c>

00:09:41.289 --> 00:09:46.250
And<00:09:41.470><c> that's</c><00:09:41.730><c> why</c><00:09:42.309><c> we</c><00:09:43.029><c> see</c><00:09:43.409><c> so</c><00:09:44.110><c> much</c><00:09:44.610><c> in</c><00:09:45.590><c> the</c><00:09:45.710><c> New</c><00:09:45.850><c> Testament</c>

about<00:09:46.590><c> this</c><00:09:46.850><c> issue,</c>

00:09:47.009 --> 00:09:49.590
and<00:09:47.090><c> we're</c><00:09:47.230><c> going</c><00:09:47.309><c> to</c><00:09:47.409><c> go</c><00:09:47.610><c> through</c><00:09:47.809><c> half</c><00:09:48.149><c> a</c><00:09:48.350><c> dozen</c><00:09:48.549><c> or</c><00:09:48.690><c> so</c><00:09:48.769><c> passages</c><00:09:49.169><c> right</c><00:09:49.470><c> now</c>

00:09:49.590 --> 00:09:54.169
where<00:09:49.750><c> Paul</c><00:09:49.950><c> had</c><00:09:50.149><c> to</c><00:09:50.549><c> repeatedly</c><00:09:51.049><c> explain</c><00:09:51.909><c> the</c><00:09:52.669><c> law</c><00:09:53.230><c> is</c><00:09:53.529><c> of</c><00:09:53.809><c> no</c>

00:09:57.549 --> 00:09:58.809
So<00:09:57.730><c> let's</c><00:09:57.889><c> look</c><00:09:58.070><c> at</c><00:09:58.169><c> a</c><00:09:58.250><c> few</c><00:09:58.350><c> passages.</c>

00:09:59.129 --> 00:10:04.330
We'll<00:09:59.409><c> start</c><00:09:59.549><c> with</c><00:09:59.789><c> Paul</c><00:10:00.370><c> in</c><00:10:01.690><c> the</c><00:10:02.009><c> synagogue</c><00:10:02.409><c> of</c><00:10:02.870><c> Antioch</c><00:10:03.929><c> in</c>

00:10:04.330 --> 00:10:05.710
Acts<00:10:04.549><c> chapter</c><00:10:04.929><c> 13.</c>

00:10:07.470 --> 00:10:10.490
So<00:10:08.029><c> he's</c><00:10:08.210><c> speaking</c><00:10:08.429><c> to</c><00:10:08.629><c> a</c><00:10:08.830><c> largely</c><00:10:09.190><c> Jewish,</c><00:10:09.529><c> but</c><00:10:09.750><c> not</c><00:10:10.049><c> entirely,</c>

00:10:10.549 --> 00:10:13.330
because<00:10:10.909><c> it</c><00:10:11.129><c> does</c><00:10:11.330><c> say</c><00:10:11.649><c> here</c><00:10:11.870><c> that</c><00:10:12.169><c> he</c><00:10:12.470><c> suggests</c><00:10:12.889><c> to</c><00:10:13.090><c> you</c><00:10:13.149><c> men</c>

00:10:13.330 --> 00:10:13.750

00:10:14.070 --> 00:10:18.830
and<00:10:14.649><c> you</c><00:10:15.090><c> who</c><00:10:15.429><c> fear</c><00:10:15.710><c> God,</c><00:10:16.549><c> that</c><00:10:16.669><c> is</c><00:10:16.850><c> the</c><00:10:17.070><c> Greeks</c><00:10:17.269><c> who</c><00:10:17.549><c> believed</c><00:10:17.690><c> also.</c>

00:10:20.490 --> 00:10:23.990
The<00:10:20.990><c> reference</c><00:10:21.330><c> is</c><00:10:21.549><c> Acts</c><00:10:21.809><c> 13</c><00:10:22.330><c> verse</c><00:10:22.570><c> 16.</c>

00:10:24.330 --> 00:10:25.649
Paul<00:10:24.350><c> stood</c><00:10:24.529><c> up</c><00:10:24.690><c> motion</c><00:10:24.909><c> with</c><00:10:25.110><c> his</c><00:10:25.289><c> hand.</c>

00:10:25.730 --> 00:10:28.230
Be<00:10:26.289><c> quiet</c><00:10:26.610><c> like</c><00:10:26.870><c> this.</c>

00:10:30.269 --> 00:10:32.830
Men<00:10:30.590><c> of</c><00:10:30.909><c> Israel</c><00:10:31.269><c> and</c><00:10:31.769><c> you</c><00:10:31.970><c> that</c><00:10:32.210><c> fear</c><00:10:32.389><c> God.</c>

00:10:32.830 --> 00:10:36.409
And<00:10:33.309><c> that</c><00:10:33.529><c> phrase,</c><00:10:33.909><c> you</c><00:10:33.909><c> that</c><00:10:34.049><c> fear</c><00:10:34.149><c> God,</c><00:10:35.250><c> is</c><00:10:35.529><c> an</c><00:10:35.970><c> idiom</c><00:10:36.190><c> that</c>

00:10:36.409 --> 00:10:37.350
means<00:10:36.889><c> Greeks,</c>

00:10:37.809 --> 00:10:42.250
you<00:10:37.929><c> non</c><00:10:38.190><c>-Jews</c><00:10:38.549><c> who</c><00:10:38.690><c> are</c><00:10:39.350><c> believers,</c><00:10:40.370><c> such</c><00:10:40.610><c> as</c><00:10:40.789><c> Cornelius,</c><00:10:42.090><c> a</c>

00:10:43.070 --> 00:10:44.669
Remember<00:10:43.330><c> it</c><00:10:43.450><c> talks</c><00:10:43.690><c> about</c><00:10:43.870><c> him,</c><00:10:44.009><c> the</c><00:10:44.149><c> God</c><00:10:44.350><c>-fearing</c><00:10:44.509><c> man.</c>

00:10:44.669 --> 00:10:47.490
That's<00:10:44.769><c> what</c><00:10:44.830><c> it</c><00:10:44.950><c> means,</c><00:10:45.169><c> a</c><00:10:45.250><c> non</c><00:10:45.549><c>-Jew</c><00:10:45.750><c> who</c><00:10:46.450><c> had</c><00:10:46.690><c> come</c><00:10:46.909><c> to</c><00:10:47.190><c> believe</c><00:10:47.330><c> in</c>

Well,<00:19:45.549><c> that</c><00:19:45.670><c> was</c><00:19:45.849><c> true.</c><00:19:46.670><c> Why?</c>

00:19:48.109 --> 00:19:50.029
Because<00:19:48.589><c> it</c><00:19:49.009><c> didn't</c><00:19:49.269><c> deal</c><00:19:49.509><c> with</c><00:19:49.809><c> faith,</c>

00:19:53.430 --> 00:19:56.190
It<00:19:53.509><c> was</c><00:19:53.690><c> a</c><00:19:53.829><c> very</c><00:19:54.170><c> hard</c><00:19:54.430><c> teaching</c><00:19:54.869><c> to</c><00:19:55.529><c> deal</c><00:19:55.809><c> with.</c>

As<00:20:00.910><c> an</c><00:20:01.089><c> aside,</c><00:20:02.190><c> I</c><00:20:03.710><c> think</c><00:20:04.230><c> there</c><00:20:05.589><c> is</c><00:20:06.950><c> a</c><00:20:07.890><c> considerable</c><00:20:08.369><c> evidence</c><00:20:08.730><c> actually,</c>

00:20:09.490 --> 00:20:12.609
I<00:20:09.710><c> think</c><00:20:10.269><c> this</c><00:20:10.589><c> is</c><00:20:11.069><c> the</c><00:20:11.210><c> way</c><00:20:11.349><c> it</c><00:20:11.509><c> probably</c><00:20:11.809><c> was.</c>

00:20:12.630 --> 00:20:16.130
The<00:20:12.890><c> miracles</c><00:20:13.490><c> of</c><00:20:14.730><c> the</c><00:20:14.910><c> first</c><00:20:15.089><c> century,</c>

00:20:17.009 --> 00:20:22.250

Dorcas<00:20:29.470><c> and</c><00:20:29.690><c> so</c><00:20:29.890><c> forth,</c><00:20:30.630><c> incredible</c><00:20:31.049><c> things</c><00:20:31.309><c> they</c><00:20:31.529><c> did,</c>

00:20:34.089 --> 00:20:37.529
that<00:20:34.369><c> those</c><00:20:34.950><c> miracles</c><00:20:35.509><c> were</c><00:20:36.089><c> necessary</c>

00:20:38.269 --> 00:20:43.269
because<00:20:39.109><c> of</c><00:20:39.690><c> the</c><00:20:40.829><c> incredible</c><00:20:41.750><c> change</c>

00:20:57.609 --> 00:20:59.950
That's<00:20:57.849><c> what</c><00:20:58.009><c> happened</c><00:20:58.230><c> to</c><00:20:58.430><c> him,</c><00:20:58.809><c> it's</c><00:20:58.970><c> happened</c><00:20:59.089><c> to</c><00:20:59.309><c> Stephen.</c>

00:21:02.789 --> 00:21:06.809

00:21:18.170 --> 00:21:20.990
Why<00:21:18.690><c> were</c><00:21:18.930><c> there</c><00:21:19.009><c> miracles</c><00:21:19.430><c> in</c><00:21:20.369><c> the</c><00:21:20.450><c> New</c><00:21:20.589><c> Testament?</c>

00:21:21.309 --> 00:21:24.430
It's<00:21:21.569><c> because</c><00:21:22.190><c> they</c><00:21:22.650><c> had</c><00:21:22.970><c> to</c><00:21:23.210><c> make</c><00:21:23.410><c> this</c><00:21:23.750><c> shift</c><00:21:23.990><c> of</c><00:21:24.250><c> thinking,</c>

00:21:27.190 --> 00:21:29.869
to<00:21:27.710><c> testify</c><00:21:28.289><c> that</c><00:21:28.470><c> this</c><00:21:28.690><c> was</c><00:21:28.849><c> true,</c>

00:21:38.130 --> 00:21:40.789
That's<00:21:38.410><c> why,</c><00:21:38.930><c> there</c><00:21:39.650><c> may</c><00:21:39.890><c> be</c><00:21:40.029><c> other</c><00:21:40.170><c> reasons</c><00:21:40.430><c> too,</c>

that<00:21:52.730><c> the</c><00:21:52.950><c> temple</c><00:21:53.910><c> veil</c><00:21:54.190><c> was</c><00:21:54.430><c> torn</c><00:21:54.609><c> in</c><00:21:54.829><c> two,</c>

00:21:55.130 --> 00:21:56.529
the<00:21:55.309><c> law</c><00:21:55.549><c> of</c><00:21:55.750><c> Moses</c><00:21:55.970><c> was</c><00:21:56.289><c> over,</c>

00:21:56.730 --> 00:21:59.089
it<00:21:56.869><c> never</c><00:21:57.150><c> had</c><00:21:57.410><c> been</c><00:21:57.630><c> effective</c><00:21:57.970><c> for</c><00:21:58.250><c> achieving</c><00:21:58.490><c> salvation.</c>

00:21:59.190 --> 00:22:00.630
Salvation<00:21:59.569><c> is</c><00:21:59.769><c> always</c><00:22:00.089><c> through</c><00:22:00.269><c> faith.</c>

00:22:01.029 --> 00:22:02.569
Galatians<00:22:01.329><c> chapter</c><00:22:01.609><c> 3</c><00:22:01.890><c> says</c><00:22:02.109><c> that.</c>

00:22:02.809 --> 00:22:04.470
It<00:22:03.109><c> preceded</c><00:22:03.450><c> the</c><00:22:03.609><c> law,</c>

00:22:04.509 --> 00:22:07.190
God<00:22:04.769><c> justified</c><00:22:05.349><c> Abraham</c><00:22:05.809><c> through</c><00:22:06.029><c> his</c><00:22:06.289><c> faith,</c>

00:22:07.769 --> 00:22:11.589
but<00:22:08.130><c> it</c><00:22:08.269><c> was</c><00:22:08.509><c> so</c><00:22:08.990><c> hard</c><00:22:09.329><c> for</c><00:22:09.650><c> human</c><00:22:09.890><c> beings</c><00:22:10.369><c> to</c><00:22:10.630><c> let</c><00:22:10.809><c> go</c><00:22:10.990><c> of</c><00:22:11.089><c> the</c><00:22:11.230><c> law,</c>

00:22:11.589 --> 00:22:14.710
because<00:22:12.210><c> we're</c><00:22:12.609><c> human</c><00:22:12.809><c> beings</c><00:22:13.049><c> and</c><00:22:13.289><c> we</c><00:22:13.509><c> want</c><00:22:13.809><c> rules</c><00:22:14.190><c> and</c><00:22:14.410><c> rituals</c>

00:22:14.710 --> 00:22:16.190
because<00:22:14.910><c> it's</c><00:22:15.170><c> just</c><00:22:15.329><c> easier.</c>

00:22:16.549 --> 00:22:17.230
It's<00:22:16.809><c> just</c><00:22:17.009><c> easier.</c>

00:22:17.269 --> 00:22:18.890
Tell<00:22:17.450><c> me</c><00:22:17.589><c> the</c><00:22:17.730><c> rules,</c><00:22:18.049><c> I'll</c><00:22:18.170><c> follow</c><00:22:18.450><c> them.</c>

00:22:19.289 --> 00:22:20.529
Give<00:22:19.470><c> me</c><00:22:19.650><c> a</c><00:22:19.750><c> rule.</c>

00:22:20.589 --> 00:22:20.910
Fine.

00:22:21.390 --> 00:22:22.250
It's<00:22:21.869><c> simple.</c>

00:22:22.309 --> 00:22:22.890
It's<00:22:22.589><c> concrete.</c>

00:22:22.910 --> 00:22:24.789
I<00:22:22.990><c> can</c><00:22:23.190><c> deal</c><00:22:23.390><c> with</c><00:22:23.569><c> it.</c>

00:22:25.250 --> 00:22:26.329
So<00:22:25.490><c> God</c><00:22:25.670><c> gave</c><00:22:25.869><c> miracles.</c>

00:22:26.369 --> 00:22:27.109
He<00:22:26.509><c> gave</c><00:22:26.670><c> great</c><00:22:26.910><c> signs.</c>

00:22:27.170 --> 00:22:28.410
He<00:22:27.369><c> resurrected</c><00:22:27.809><c> his</c><00:22:28.089><c> son,</c>

00:22:28.730 --> 00:22:34.089
because<00:22:29.269><c> he</c><00:22:29.690><c> was</c><00:22:30.329><c> doing</c><00:22:30.630><c> such</c><00:22:30.930><c> a</c><00:22:31.109><c> marvelous</c><00:22:31.470><c> work</c><00:22:32.190><c> in</c><00:22:32.950><c> the</c><00:22:33.130><c> change.</c>

00:22:35.990 --> 00:22:38.349
Well,<00:22:36.789><c> what</c><00:22:37.009><c> exactly</c><00:22:37.390><c> is</c><00:22:37.609><c> the</c><00:22:37.769><c> difference</c>

00:22:38.349 --> 00:22:41.750
between<00:22:39.130><c> salvation</c><00:22:39.650><c> by</c><00:22:39.910><c> grace</c><00:22:40.089><c> and</c><00:22:40.250><c> salvation</c><00:22:40.650><c> by</c><00:22:40.869><c> works?</c>

00:22:43.490 --> 00:22:44.410
What's<00:22:43.990><c> the</c><00:22:44.089><c> difference?</c>

00:22:44.750 --> 00:22:45.250
How<00:22:44.910><c> do</c><00:22:45.029><c> they</c><00:22:45.170><c> work?</c>

00:22:45.289 --> 00:22:46.230
If<00:22:45.410><c> this</c><00:22:45.549><c> is</c><00:22:45.650><c> such</c><00:22:45.750><c> a</c><00:22:45.849><c> big</c><00:22:45.970><c> change,</c>

00:22:46.250 --> 00:22:47.230
we<00:22:46.369><c> better</c><00:22:46.549><c> know</c><00:22:46.750><c> the</c><00:22:46.910><c> difference.</c>

00:22:47.410 --> 00:22:49.869
If<00:22:47.569><c> we</c><00:22:47.750><c> can't</c><00:22:48.049><c> tell</c><00:22:48.170><c> the</c><00:22:48.430><c> difference</c><00:22:48.630><c> between</c><00:22:48.930><c> one</c><00:22:49.109><c> another,</c>

00:22:50.029 --> 00:22:51.849
we've<00:22:50.309><c> probably</c><00:22:50.549><c> got</c><00:22:50.710><c> a</c><00:22:50.910><c> problem.</c>

00:22:53.710 --> 00:22:56.289
And<00:22:54.049><c> if</c><00:22:54.410><c> they</c><00:22:54.730><c> are</c><00:22:54.930><c> so</c><00:22:55.230><c> different,</c>

00:22:56.950 --> 00:22:58.250
is<00:22:57.150><c> the</c><00:22:57.369><c> law</c><00:22:57.730><c> then,</c>

00:22:58.529 --> 00:23:04.150
or<00:22:58.650><c> the</c><00:22:58.890><c> concept</c><00:22:59.410><c> of</c><00:23:01.269><c> doing</c><00:23:02.109><c> things</c><00:23:02.750><c> bad,</c>

00:23:04.509 --> 00:23:07.589
is<00:23:04.950><c> there</c><00:23:05.089><c> something</c><00:23:05.430><c> about</c><00:23:05.690><c> now</c><00:23:06.069><c> following</c><00:23:06.529><c> rituals</c><00:23:07.109><c> that</c>

00:23:07.589 --> 00:23:08.730
is<00:23:07.849><c> evil?</c>

00:23:10.809 --> 00:23:13.349
We<00:23:10.950><c> certainly</c><00:23:11.210><c> have</c><00:23:11.369><c> to</c><00:23:11.490><c> address</c><00:23:11.690><c> that</c><00:23:11.950><c> issue</c><00:23:12.230><c> too,</c>

00:23:14.549 --> 00:23:17.049
because<00:23:14.990><c> if</c><00:23:15.430><c> we</c><00:23:15.569><c> just</c><00:23:15.789><c> went</c><00:23:15.930><c> to</c><00:23:16.089><c> where</c><00:23:16.230><c> we</c><00:23:16.349><c> are</c><00:23:16.450><c> right</c><00:23:16.690><c> now,</c>

00:23:17.109 --> 00:23:18.890
we<00:23:17.230><c> would</c><00:23:17.410><c> say,</c><00:23:17.650><c> well,</c><00:23:17.769><c> Jesus</c><00:23:18.069><c> abolished</c><00:23:18.410><c> the</c><00:23:18.650><c> law,</c>

00:23:18.990 --> 00:23:19.849
and<00:23:19.150><c> that's</c><00:23:19.410><c> that.</c>

00:23:20.329 --> 00:23:21.670
And<00:23:20.450><c> all</c><00:23:20.529><c> we</c><00:23:20.690><c> do</c><00:23:20.990><c> is</c><00:23:21.170><c> have</c><00:23:21.410><c> faith,</c>

00:23:21.849 --> 00:23:23.730
believe<00:23:22.069><c> in</c><00:23:22.250><c> Jesus</c><00:23:22.509><c> and</c><00:23:22.690><c> we're</c><00:23:22.910><c> saved.</c>

00:23:23.829 --> 00:23:25.890
Well,<00:23:24.029><c> that's</c><00:23:24.309><c> obviously</c><00:23:24.589><c> not</c><00:23:24.829><c> the</c><00:23:24.910><c> end</c><00:23:25.029><c> of</c><00:23:25.230><c> the</c><00:23:25.309><c> story,</c>

00:23:26.369 --> 00:23:28.150

00:23:30.329 --> 00:23:31.230
out<00:23:30.549><c> of</c><00:23:30.690><c> us,</c>

00:23:31.569 --> 00:23:33.410

00:23:33.650 --> 00:23:35.250

00:23:36.009 --> 00:23:38.309
Well,<00:23:36.089><c> here's</c><00:23:36.329><c> one</c><00:23:36.470><c> way</c><00:23:36.630><c> of</c><00:23:36.730><c> looking</c><00:23:36.950><c> at</c><00:23:37.130><c> it.</c>

00:23:40.430 --> 00:23:45.829
On<00:23:40.990><c> the</c><00:23:41.549><c> left</c><00:23:41.789><c>-hand</c><00:23:42.009><c> side,</c><00:23:42.869><c> I</c><00:23:43.150><c> hope,</c><00:23:44.789><c> yes.</c>

00:23:48.769 --> 00:23:51.849
If<00:23:49.329><c> you</c><00:23:49.549><c> really</c><00:23:49.789><c> believed</c><00:23:50.069><c> in</c><00:23:50.289><c> salvation</c><00:23:50.690><c> by</c><00:23:50.990><c> works,</c>

00:23:53.549 --> 00:23:57.670
you<00:23:53.930><c> might</c><00:23:54.549><c> think</c><00:23:55.829><c> of</c><00:23:55.930><c> it</c><00:23:56.109><c> somewhat</c><00:23:56.349><c> this</c><00:23:56.690><c> way,</c>

00:23:57.809 --> 00:24:00.049
where<00:23:57.869><c> you</c><00:23:57.950><c> have</c><00:23:58.049><c> a</c><00:23:58.170><c> good</c><00:23:58.329><c> column</c><00:23:58.609><c> and</c><00:23:58.730><c> a</c><00:23:58.869><c> bad</c><00:23:59.049><c> column.</c>

00:24:00.289 --> 00:24:04.109
G<00:24:00.769><c> is</c><00:24:00.930><c> for</c><00:24:01.109><c> good,</c><00:24:01.750><c> B</c><00:24:01.910><c> is</c><00:24:02.109><c> for</c><00:24:02.269><c> bad,</c><00:24:03.089><c> right?</c>

00:24:04.589 --> 00:24:06.369
And<00:24:05.069><c> you</c><00:24:05.329><c> mark</c><00:24:05.549><c> up</c><00:24:05.750><c> your</c><00:24:05.910><c> good</c><00:24:06.069><c> works.</c>

00:24:06.549 --> 00:24:08.730
I<00:24:06.769><c> prayed</c><00:24:06.950><c> this</c><00:24:07.230><c> morning,</c><00:24:08.369><c> right?</c>

00:24:08.990 --> 00:24:11.089
I<00:24:09.230><c> ate</c><00:24:09.470><c> a</c><00:24:09.670><c> kosher</c><00:24:10.029><c> breakfast.</c>

00:24:12.349 --> 00:24:15.829

00:24:18.809 --> 00:24:20.509

00:24:23.210 --> 00:24:25.109
well,<00:24:23.309><c> that</c><00:24:23.509><c> went</c><00:24:23.630><c> on</c><00:24:23.809><c> the</c><00:24:23.970><c> bad</c><00:24:24.210><c> side.</c>

00:24:26.150 --> 00:24:27.750
But<00:24:26.549><c> if</c><00:24:26.670><c> you're</c><00:24:26.910><c> really</c><00:24:27.250><c> into</c><00:24:27.529><c> this,</c>

00:24:27.750 --> 00:24:29.569
if<00:24:27.869><c> this</c><00:24:28.029><c> is</c><00:24:28.269><c> really</c><00:24:28.490><c> the</c><00:24:28.630><c> way</c><00:24:28.690><c> your</c><00:24:28.930><c> mind</c><00:24:29.109><c> works,</c>

00:24:29.710 --> 00:24:32.009
and<00:24:29.869><c> you</c><00:24:30.069><c> believe</c><00:24:30.289><c> that</c><00:24:30.609><c> you</c><00:24:30.990><c> have</c><00:24:31.250><c> to</c><00:24:31.410><c> do</c><00:24:31.549><c> the</c><00:24:31.589><c> right</c><00:24:31.730><c> things,</c>

00:24:32.309 --> 00:24:35.869
then<00:24:32.430><c> inevitably</c><00:24:32.950><c> there's</c><00:24:33.309><c> going</c><00:24:33.430><c> to</c><00:24:33.589><c> be</c><00:24:33.769><c> this</c><00:24:35.210><c> tally</c><00:24:35.710><c> sheet</c>

in<00:24:36.029><c> your</c><00:24:36.269><c> mind,</c>

00:24:36.650 --> 00:24:39.849
this<00:24:37.190><c> hypothetical</c><00:24:37.849><c> good</c><00:24:38.329><c> work,</c><00:24:38.910><c> God</c><00:24:39.109><c> owes</c><00:24:39.289><c> me</c><00:24:39.509><c> something,</c>

00:24:40.089 --> 00:24:43.170
bad<00:24:40.329><c> work,</c><00:24:40.730><c> uh</c><00:24:40.809><c>-oh,</c><00:24:41.750><c> slaughter</c><00:24:41.950><c> a</c><00:24:42.150><c> lamb,</c><00:24:42.990><c> pray,</c>

00:24:45.470 --> 00:24:47.650
But<00:24:45.609><c> even</c><00:24:45.809><c> the</c><00:24:45.990><c> act</c><00:24:46.150><c> of</c><00:24:46.329><c> penitence</c><00:24:46.690><c> is</c><00:24:46.910><c> what?</c>

00:24:47.710 --> 00:24:48.930
It's<00:24:48.009><c> an</c><00:24:48.190><c> act.</c>

00:24:49.049 --> 00:24:50.170
It's<00:24:49.430><c> a</c><00:24:49.549><c> ritual</c><00:24:49.789><c> you</c><00:24:50.029><c> do.</c>

00:24:50.430 --> 00:24:52.309
Well,<00:24:50.589><c> now</c><00:24:50.809><c> I</c><00:24:50.890><c> did</c><00:24:50.970><c> a</c><00:24:51.089><c> good</c><00:24:51.230><c> work,</c><00:24:51.450><c> because</c><00:24:51.589><c> I</c><00:24:51.750><c> did</c><00:24:51.849><c> a</c><00:24:52.009><c> bad</c><00:24:52.150><c> work,</c>

00:24:52.309 --> 00:24:53.089
but<00:24:52.410><c> now</c><00:24:52.549><c> I</c><00:24:52.609><c> do</c><00:24:52.690><c> a</c><00:24:52.769><c> good</c><00:24:52.890><c> work,</c>

00:24:53.089 --> 00:24:56.230
which<00:24:53.269><c> is</c><00:24:53.970><c> offering</c><00:24:54.509><c> some</c><00:24:55.049><c> type</c><00:24:55.329><c> of</c><00:24:55.710><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:24:56.230 --> 00:24:58.470
So<00:24:56.569><c> you're</c><00:24:57.670><c> back</c><00:24:57.769><c> on</c><00:24:57.849><c> the</c><00:24:57.910><c> good</c><00:24:58.089><c> work</c><00:24:58.269><c> side.</c>

00:24:58.529 --> 00:25:04.069
Well,<00:24:59.130><c> you</c><00:24:59.250><c> don't</c><00:24:59.410><c> have</c><00:24:59.670><c> to</c><00:24:59.910><c> be</c><00:25:00.210><c> a</c><00:25:01.450><c> PhD</c><00:25:02.430><c> statistician</c>

00:25:04.369 --> 00:25:08.329
to<00:25:04.809><c> figure</c><00:25:05.089><c> out</c><00:25:05.869><c> that</c><00:25:06.509><c> if</c><00:25:07.250><c> your</c><00:25:07.490><c> chart</c><00:25:07.589><c> looked</c><00:25:07.789><c> like</c><00:25:08.069><c> this,</c>

00:25:08.349 --> 00:25:11.730
well,<00:25:09.410><c> that</c><00:25:09.630><c> looks</c><00:25:09.769><c> pretty</c><00:25:10.029><c> good,</c><00:25:10.230><c> doesn't</c><00:25:10.490><c> it?</c>

00:25:11.970 --> 00:25:15.470
But<00:25:12.390><c> you</c><00:25:12.609><c> also</c><00:25:12.789><c> don't</c><00:25:12.930><c> have</c><00:25:13.109><c> to</c><00:25:13.230><c> be</c><00:25:13.369><c> a</c><00:25:13.470><c> theologian</c><00:25:13.890><c> to</c><00:25:14.089><c> know</c><00:25:14.309><c> that</c>

00:25:15.730 --> 00:25:19.170
if<00:25:16.170><c> you</c><00:25:16.470><c> sin,</c><00:25:16.910><c> you're</c><00:25:17.250><c> a</c><00:25:17.369><c> sinner,</c><00:25:17.789><c> and</c><00:25:18.549><c> that's</c><00:25:18.789><c> just</c><00:25:18.950><c> the</c><00:25:19.049><c> way</c>

00:25:19.170 --> 00:25:20.470
it<00:25:19.309><c> is.</c>

00:25:20.710 --> 00:25:22.789
And<00:25:20.930><c> although</c><00:25:21.130><c> Paul</c><00:25:21.349><c> said</c><00:25:21.569><c> under</c><00:25:21.829><c> the</c><00:25:21.930><c> law</c><00:25:21.990><c> he</c><00:25:22.109><c> was</c><00:25:22.309><c> blameless,</c>

00:25:22.910 --> 00:25:25.349
and<00:25:23.009><c> however</c><00:25:23.230><c> that</c><00:25:23.509><c> actually</c><00:25:23.910><c> technically</c><00:25:24.369><c> meant,</c><00:25:24.630><c> I'm</c><00:25:24.829><c> not</c><00:25:25.069><c> sure,</c>

00:25:25.349 --> 00:25:27.769
but<00:25:25.829><c> he</c><00:25:26.029><c> would</c><00:25:26.230><c> have</c><00:25:26.329><c> certainly</c><00:25:26.589><c> seen</c><00:25:26.869><c> his</c><00:25:27.190><c> chart</c><00:25:27.390><c> like</c><00:25:27.670><c> this.</c>

00:25:27.890 --> 00:25:29.150
He<00:25:27.890><c> said,</c><00:25:27.970><c> but</c><00:25:28.069><c> it's</c><00:25:28.309><c> worthless.</c>

00:25:29.849 --> 00:25:32.730
My<00:25:30.170><c> chart</c><00:25:30.369><c> was</c><00:25:30.589><c> a</c><00:25:30.730><c> good</c><00:25:30.869><c> one,</c><00:25:31.150><c> but</c><00:25:31.309><c> it</c><00:25:31.470><c> was</c><00:25:31.750><c> worthless.</c>

00:25:35.190 --> 00:25:38.589
So<00:25:35.609><c> what</c><00:25:35.769><c> would</c><00:25:35.930><c> salvation</c><00:25:36.369><c> by</c><00:25:36.569><c> grace</c><00:25:36.849><c> look</c><00:25:37.089><c> like</c><00:25:37.329><c> then?</c>

00:25:40.130 --> 00:25:45.029
If<00:25:40.349><c> that</c><00:25:40.549><c> salvation</c><00:25:40.990><c> by</c><00:25:41.230><c> works,</c><00:25:43.349><c> what</c><00:25:43.490><c> would</c><00:25:43.589><c> that</c><00:25:43.829><c> look</c><00:25:43.990><c> like?</c>

00:25:47.890 --> 00:25:51.390
Hmm,<00:25:48.950><c> there's</c><00:25:49.190><c> a</c><00:25:49.329><c> puzzler</c><00:25:49.569><c> for</c><00:25:49.809><c> you.</c>

00:25:54.230 --> 00:25:56.089
Anybody<00:25:54.650><c> want</c><00:25:54.910><c> to</c><00:25:55.190><c> try?</c>

00:25:56.990 --> 00:25:58.690
You<00:25:57.069><c> know</c><00:25:57.230><c> there's</c><00:25:57.430><c> a</c><00:25:57.529><c> trick</c><00:25:57.650><c> question.</c>

00:26:00.509 --> 00:26:02.369
You<00:26:00.829><c> better</c><00:26:01.089><c> know</c><00:26:01.269><c> this</c><00:26:01.470><c> is</c><00:26:01.650><c> a</c><00:26:01.750><c> trick</c><00:26:01.829><c> question.</c>

00:26:02.789 --> 00:26:04.390
Keep<00:26:02.930><c> that</c><00:26:03.190><c> there</c><00:26:03.309><c> from</c><00:26:03.470><c> going</c><00:26:03.569><c> away.</c>

00:26:09.849 --> 00:26:15.609
Well,<00:26:10.150><c> I</c><00:26:10.410><c> hope</c><00:26:10.950><c> that</c><00:26:12.369><c> what</c><00:26:13.549><c> your</c><00:26:14.390><c> chart</c><00:26:14.609><c> looks</c><00:26:14.849><c> like</c><00:26:15.049><c> in</c><00:26:15.210><c> your</c><00:26:15.390><c> head.</c>

00:26:15.890 --> 00:26:17.029
John,<00:26:16.210><c> you're</c><00:26:16.289><c> going</c><00:26:16.369><c> to</c><00:26:16.470><c> give</c><00:26:16.549><c> a</c><00:26:16.670><c> stab</c><00:26:16.789><c> at</c><00:26:16.950><c> it?</c>

00:26:17.109 --> 00:26:17.930
There's<00:26:17.369><c> no</c><00:26:17.630><c> chart.</c>

00:26:17.930 --> 00:26:18.769
Thank<00:26:18.349><c> you.</c>

00:26:19.069 --> 00:26:20.829
That's<00:26:19.349><c> what</c><00:26:19.470><c> it</c><00:26:19.589><c> looks</c><00:26:19.769><c> like.</c>

00:26:21.490 --> 00:26:22.950
Because<00:26:21.930><c> we</c><00:26:22.089><c> don't</c><00:26:22.329><c> keep</c><00:26:22.609><c> track.</c>

00:26:23.170 --> 00:26:24.109
Why?

00:26:24.670 --> 00:26:26.490
Because<00:26:25.109><c> there's</c><00:26:25.549><c> nothing</c><00:26:25.750><c> we</c><00:26:25.970><c> can</c><00:26:26.230><c> do</c>

00:26:26.490 --> 00:26:28.630
that<00:26:26.670><c> will</c><00:26:26.869><c> give</c><00:26:27.029><c> us</c><00:26:27.309><c> justification</c><00:26:27.890><c> in</c><00:26:28.069><c> God's</c><00:26:28.529><c> sight.</c>

00:26:28.670 --> 00:26:31.269
And<00:26:28.809><c> if</c><00:26:28.930><c> we</c><00:26:29.069><c> do</c><00:26:29.210><c> a</c><00:26:29.410><c> sin</c><00:26:29.630><c> and</c><00:26:30.210><c> we</c><00:26:30.470><c> pray</c><00:26:30.589><c> to</c><00:26:30.769><c> have</c><00:26:30.890><c> it</c><00:26:31.049><c> forgiven,</c>

00:26:31.349 --> 00:26:32.470
it's<00:26:31.529><c> gone.</c>

00:26:32.890 --> 00:26:34.490
Sins<00:26:33.130><c> are</c><00:26:33.349><c> gone</c><00:26:33.529><c> and</c><00:26:33.690><c> the</c><00:26:33.849><c> works</c><00:26:33.990><c> are</c><00:26:34.190><c> worthless.</c>

00:26:34.529 --> 00:26:35.710
There's<00:26:34.769><c> no</c><00:26:34.950><c> chart.</c>

00:26:35.769 --> 00:26:40.309
It's<00:26:36.210><c> not</c><00:26:36.470><c> a</c><00:26:36.630><c> matter</c><00:26:36.990><c> of</c><00:26:38.430><c> saying,</c><00:26:39.109><c> well,</c><00:26:39.109><c> I</c><00:26:39.210><c> did</c><00:26:39.329><c> a</c><00:26:39.490><c> work</c><00:26:39.609><c> of</c><00:26:39.890><c> faith.</c>

00:26:40.710 --> 00:26:42.549
You<00:26:40.849><c> know,</c><00:26:40.849><c> I</c><00:26:40.950><c> went</c><00:26:41.069><c> to</c><00:26:41.269><c> Sunday</c><00:26:41.450><c> school.</c>

00:26:43.670 --> 00:26:45.130
I<00:26:44.109><c> gave</c><00:26:44.309><c> a</c><00:26:44.529><c> lecture</c><00:26:44.750><c> today.</c>

00:26:45.289 --> 00:26:46.930
I<00:26:45.609><c> prayed</c><00:26:45.910><c> this</c><00:26:46.150><c> morning</c><00:26:46.390><c> for</c><00:26:46.630><c> somebody.</c>

00:26:46.930 --> 00:26:51.250
I<00:26:47.210><c> put</c><00:26:47.430><c> money</c><00:26:47.670><c> in</c><00:26:47.849><c> the</c><00:26:48.029><c> bag</c><00:26:48.349><c> twice,</c><00:26:49.309><c> three</c><00:26:49.630><c> times,</c><00:26:50.069><c> two</c><00:26:50.230><c> bags</c><00:26:50.490><c> once.</c>

00:26:52.349 --> 00:26:54.289
Oh,<00:26:52.950><c> but</c><00:26:53.130><c> I</c><00:26:53.269><c> got</c><00:26:53.470><c> a</c><00:26:53.569><c> little</c><00:26:53.789><c> bit</c><00:26:53.970><c> irritated</c>

00:26:54.289 --> 00:26:56.609
when<00:26:54.470><c> the</c><00:26:54.630><c> speaker</c><00:26:54.809><c> talked</c><00:26:55.049><c> for</c><00:26:55.309><c> 45</c><00:26:55.630><c> minutes.</c>

00:26:59.009 --> 00:27:01.029
I'll<00:26:59.529><c> acknowledge</c><00:26:59.950><c> that</c><00:27:00.269><c> one.</c>

00:27:01.470 --> 00:27:03.890
If<00:27:01.809><c> we're</c><00:27:02.049><c> thinking</c><00:27:02.309><c> that</c><00:27:02.650><c> way,</c><00:27:03.109><c> we've</c><00:27:03.390><c> got</c><00:27:03.470><c> a</c><00:27:03.670><c> problem</c>

00:27:03.890 --> 00:27:06.470
because<00:27:04.369><c> that's</c><00:27:05.130><c> exactly</c><00:27:05.549><c> what</c><00:27:05.750><c> Jesus</c><00:27:06.170><c> meant</c>

00:27:06.470 --> 00:27:10.089
when<00:27:06.690><c> he</c><00:27:06.890><c> talked</c><00:27:07.049><c> about</c><00:27:07.289><c> putting</c><00:27:07.690><c> new</c><00:27:08.289><c> wine</c><00:27:08.569><c> and</c><00:27:08.670><c> old</c><00:27:08.990><c> wine</c><00:27:09.250><c> skins.</c>

00:27:10.750 --> 00:27:12.990
I'll<00:27:11.130><c> talk</c><00:27:11.309><c> at</c><00:27:11.450><c> length</c><00:27:11.609><c> about</c><00:27:11.849><c> this</c><00:27:12.109><c> in</c><00:27:12.190><c> the</c><00:27:12.309><c> Sunday</c><00:27:12.509><c> School</c><00:27:12.710><c> Hour,</c>

00:27:13.069 --> 00:27:14.369
Lord<00:27:13.269><c> willing,</c><00:27:13.490><c> tomorrow</c><00:27:13.829><c> morning,</c>

00:27:14.369 --> 00:27:17.430
is<00:27:15.190><c> when</c><00:27:15.369><c> people</c><00:27:15.650><c> tried</c><00:27:15.930><c> to</c><00:27:16.250><c> stuff</c><00:27:16.410><c> the</c><00:27:16.690><c> covenant</c><00:27:16.910><c> of</c><00:27:17.029><c> grace</c>

00:27:17.430 --> 00:27:19.789
into<00:27:17.950><c> the</c><00:27:18.369><c> form</c><00:27:18.529><c> of</c><00:27:18.710><c> the</c><00:27:18.869><c> law.</c>

00:27:20.069 --> 00:27:23.609
They<00:27:20.230><c> took</c><00:27:20.289><c> the</c><00:27:20.529><c> new</c><00:27:20.730><c> wine</c><00:27:21.089><c> and</c><00:27:21.509><c> still</c><00:27:21.990><c> tried</c><00:27:22.269><c> to</c><00:27:22.589><c> legalize</c><00:27:23.049><c> it</c><00:27:23.289><c> somehow</c>

00:27:23.609 --> 00:27:27.869
and<00:27:23.869><c> make</c><00:27:24.150><c> even</c><00:27:24.490><c> good</c><00:27:24.670><c> works</c><00:27:25.109><c> have</c><00:27:25.589><c> even</c><00:27:26.549><c> works</c><00:27:26.829><c> of</c><00:27:27.069><c> faith</c><00:27:27.430><c> or</c>

00:27:27.869 --> 00:27:29.029
other<00:27:28.089><c> rituals.</c>

00:27:29.089 --> 00:27:32.470
The<00:27:29.329><c> point</c><00:27:29.490><c> is</c><00:27:30.049><c> that</c><00:27:30.730><c> it's</c><00:27:31.029><c> the</c><00:27:31.190><c> whole</c><00:27:31.490><c> model</c><00:27:31.789><c> is</c><00:27:32.029><c> different</c>

00:27:32.470 --> 00:27:36.650
and<00:27:33.309><c> we're</c><00:27:34.890><c> totally</c><00:27:35.150><c> outside</c><00:27:35.509><c> of</c><00:27:35.670><c> the</c><00:27:35.809><c> system</c><00:27:36.009><c> where</c><00:27:36.190><c> we're</c>

00:27:36.650 --> 00:27:37.930
keeping<00:27:36.930><c> track.</c>

00:27:38.589 --> 00:27:40.869
Jesus<00:27:38.849><c> told</c><00:27:39.089><c> a</c><00:27:39.289><c> parable</c><00:27:39.509><c> about</c><00:27:39.769><c> that.</c>

00:27:41.089 --> 00:27:43.650
It's<00:27:41.349><c> in</c><00:27:41.450><c> Matthew</c><00:27:41.670><c> 25,</c><00:27:42.390><c> the</c><00:27:42.589><c> parable</c><00:27:42.789><c> of</c><00:27:42.970><c> sheep</c><00:27:43.109><c> and</c><00:27:43.269><c> the</c><00:27:43.410><c> goats.</c>

00:27:43.650 --> 00:27:44.730
Remember?

00:27:45.410 --> 00:27:46.130
It's<00:27:45.569><c> one</c><00:27:45.710><c> where</c><00:27:45.829><c> he</c><00:27:45.829><c> said,</c>

00:27:46.509 --> 00:27:50.150
when<00:27:46.630><c> did</c><00:27:46.789><c> we</c><00:27:47.930><c> see</c><00:27:48.490><c> you</c><00:27:48.869><c> thirsty</c><00:27:49.170><c> and</c><00:27:49.369><c> hungry?</c>

00:27:51.049 --> 00:27:54.069
They'd<00:27:51.390><c> done</c><00:27:51.470><c> good</c><00:27:51.690><c> works,</c><00:27:52.109><c> but</c><00:27:52.289><c> they</c><00:27:52.450><c> didn't</c><00:27:52.589><c> keep</c><00:27:52.789><c> track</c><00:27:52.970><c> of</c><00:27:53.130><c> them.</c>

00:27:54.650 --> 00:27:56.950
That's<00:27:54.910><c> part</c><00:27:55.470><c> of</c><00:27:55.690><c> the</c><00:27:55.730><c> point</c><00:27:55.849><c> of</c><00:27:55.970><c> that</c><00:27:56.170><c> parable.</c>

00:27:57.250 --> 00:28:00.650
They<00:27:57.569><c> did</c><00:27:57.910><c> not</c><00:27:58.150><c> keep</c><00:27:58.450><c> track</c><00:27:58.970><c> of</c><00:27:59.849><c> their</c><00:28:00.130><c> good</c><00:28:00.390><c> works.</c>

00:28:00.750 --> 00:28:01.529
Whereas<00:28:00.950><c> the</c><00:28:01.150><c> evil</c><00:28:01.269><c> one</c><00:28:01.390><c> said,</c>

00:28:01.690 --> 00:28:04.609
but<00:28:01.769><c> we</c><00:28:02.150><c> did</c><00:28:02.390><c> this,</c><00:28:02.630><c> we</c><00:28:02.750><c> did</c><00:28:02.890><c> this,</c><00:28:03.109><c> we</c><00:28:03.230><c> did</c><00:28:03.410><c> this.</c>

00:28:06.710 --> 00:28:08.170
Wrong<00:28:07.190><c> system.</c>

00:28:08.589 --> 00:28:09.190
You're<00:28:08.849><c> out.</c>

00:28:09.190 --> 00:28:14.289
It<00:28:10.230><c> was,</c><00:28:10.750><c> today</c><00:28:11.089><c> the</c><00:28:11.369><c> phrase,</c><00:28:11.529><c> of</c><00:28:11.710><c> course,</c><00:28:12.049><c> is</c><00:28:12.589><c> a</c><00:28:12.869><c> paradigm</c><00:28:13.230><c> shift.</c>

00:28:14.690 --> 00:28:18.990
Back<00:28:14.910><c> then,</c><00:28:15.950><c> they</c><00:28:16.269><c> just</c><00:28:16.490><c> simply</c><00:28:16.789><c> said,</c><00:28:17.690><c> it's</c><00:28:17.829><c> a</c><00:28:17.930><c> new</c><00:28:18.069><c> covenant.</c>

00:28:19.009 --> 00:28:23.230
It's<00:28:19.250><c> a</c><00:28:19.349><c> new</c><00:28:19.569><c> wineskin,</c><00:28:20.109><c> an</c><00:28:20.250><c> entirely</c><00:28:20.609><c> different</c><00:28:20.930><c> way</c><00:28:21.450><c> of</c><00:28:21.809><c> looking</c><00:28:22.069><c> at</c><00:28:22.369><c> God.</c>

00:28:24.829 --> 00:28:32.230
Well,<00:28:29.509><c> the</c><00:28:29.670><c> creed</c><00:28:29.809><c> of</c><00:28:30.069><c> legalism</c><00:28:30.509><c> says</c><00:28:30.789><c> this.</c>

00:28:35.329 --> 00:28:37.829
There<00:28:35.910><c> are</c><00:28:36.069><c> some</c><00:28:36.230><c> things</c><00:28:36.349><c> out</c><00:28:36.589><c> there</c><00:28:36.730><c> that</c><00:28:36.849><c> are</c><00:28:37.029><c> bad,</c>

00:28:37.829 --> 00:28:40.549
so<00:28:38.789><c> I</c><00:28:38.910><c> need</c><00:28:39.069><c> rules</c><00:28:39.369><c> to</c><00:28:39.650><c> protect</c><00:28:39.789><c> me</c><00:28:39.990><c> from</c><00:28:40.170><c> them,</c>

00:28:40.710 --> 00:28:43.710
and<00:28:40.990><c> there's</c><00:28:41.230><c> some</c><00:28:41.430><c> things</c><00:28:41.609><c> that</c><00:28:41.789><c> I</c><00:28:42.009><c> do</c><00:28:42.369><c> make</c><00:28:42.869><c> me</c><00:28:43.329><c> good.</c>

00:28:43.970 --> 00:28:49.549
That<00:28:44.230><c> is,</c><00:28:45.509><c> some</c><00:28:45.769><c> act</c><00:28:46.029><c> of</c><00:28:46.549><c> piety,</c><00:28:47.490><c> giving</c><00:28:47.710><c> of</c><00:28:48.069><c> alms,</c><00:28:48.650><c> prayer,</c>

00:28:49.769 --> 00:28:52.450
religious<00:28:50.329><c> service,</c><00:28:50.950><c> observation,</c><00:28:51.970><c> so</c><00:28:52.109><c> and</c><00:28:52.289><c> forth.</c>

00:28:52.930 --> 00:28:53.930
That's<00:28:53.490><c> the</c><00:28:53.690><c> creed.</c>

00:28:54.170 --> 00:28:56.730
These<00:28:54.569><c> are</c><00:28:54.750><c> the</c><00:28:54.829><c> two</c><00:28:54.990><c> principles</c><00:28:55.470><c> upon</c><00:28:55.849><c> which</c><00:28:56.109><c> rules</c><00:28:56.450><c> and</c>

00:28:56.730 --> 00:28:58.150
rituals<00:28:57.130><c> come.</c>

00:28:59.329 --> 00:29:02.089
Under<00:28:59.549><c> the</c><00:28:59.670><c> new</c><00:28:59.809><c> covenant,</c><00:29:00.650><c> we've</c><00:29:00.890><c> already</c><00:29:01.109><c> found</c><00:29:01.470><c> out</c>

00:29:02.089 --> 00:29:07.210
that<00:29:02.609><c> this</c><00:29:04.869><c> second</c><00:29:05.190><c> premise</c><00:29:05.630><c> is</c><00:29:06.309><c> invalid.</c>

00:29:07.609 --> 00:29:10.210
There<00:29:08.069><c> are</c><00:29:08.289><c> some</c><00:29:08.470><c> things</c><00:29:08.650><c> that</c><00:29:08.829><c> make</c><00:29:08.970><c> you</c><00:29:09.150><c> do</c><00:29:09.269><c> which</c><00:29:09.549><c> make</c><00:29:09.750><c> you</c><00:29:09.950><c> good,</c>

00:29:10.609 --> 00:29:12.230
and<00:29:10.750><c> well,</c><00:29:10.890><c> Paul</c><00:29:11.049><c> said</c><00:29:11.230><c> that</c><00:29:11.369><c> eight</c><00:29:11.609><c> times.</c>

00:29:12.490 --> 00:29:16.150
No,<00:29:13.190><c> you</c><00:29:13.450><c> can't</c><00:29:13.789><c> be</c><00:29:14.069><c> good</c><00:29:14.210><c> if</c><00:29:14.410><c> you</c><00:29:14.549><c> do</c><00:29:14.650><c> some</c><00:29:14.849><c> good</c><00:29:15.089><c> work.</c>

00:29:17.049 --> 00:29:19.630
That's<00:29:17.450><c> just,</c><00:29:17.650><c> you</c><00:29:17.890><c> did</c><00:29:18.250><c> a</c><00:29:18.730><c> ritual.</c>

00:29:20.049 --> 00:29:21.410
That's<00:29:20.329><c> all</c><00:29:20.509><c> it</c><00:29:20.670><c> was.</c>

00:29:21.809 --> 00:29:24.309
That<00:29:22.130><c> cannot</c><00:29:22.690><c> count</c><00:29:23.210><c> as</c><00:29:23.509><c> faith.</c>

00:29:27.490 --> 00:29:31.430
Well,<00:29:28.849><c> the</c><00:29:29.029><c> other</c><00:29:29.210><c> one</c><00:29:29.349><c> is</c><00:29:29.529><c> a</c><00:29:29.650><c> lot</c><00:29:29.809><c> harder</c><00:29:30.089><c> to</c><00:29:30.289><c> deal</c><00:29:30.470><c> with.</c>

00:29:31.529 --> 00:29:34.950

00:29:37.950 --> 00:29:41.450

00:29:42.309 --> 00:29:45.529
Do<00:29:42.509><c> we</c><00:29:42.710><c> really</c><00:29:42.950><c> need</c><00:29:43.109><c> to</c><00:29:43.430><c> protect</c><00:29:43.609><c> ourselves</c><00:29:44.109><c> by</c><00:29:44.690><c> laws?</c>

00:29:46.670 --> 00:29:47.789

00:29:47.869 --> 00:29:48.250

00:31:50.910 --> 00:31:52.890
about<00:31:51.130><c> honoring</c><00:31:51.430><c> your</c><00:31:51.650><c> father</c><00:31:51.869><c> and</c><00:31:52.069><c> mother.</c>

00:31:53.170 --> 00:31:54.970
He<00:31:53.309><c> says,</c><00:31:53.549><c> you</c><00:31:53.769><c> know,</c><00:31:53.789><c> you</c><00:31:54.109><c> get</c><00:31:54.329><c> out</c><00:31:54.569><c> of</c><00:31:54.630><c> that</c><00:31:54.809><c> one</c>

00:31:54.970 --> 00:31:57.109
through<00:31:55.130><c> your</c><00:31:55.250><c> little</c><00:31:55.470><c> technicality</c><00:31:56.170><c> called</c><00:31:56.410><c> the</c><00:31:56.670><c> korban,</c>

00:31:57.609 --> 00:31:59.210
which<00:31:57.750><c> was</c><00:31:57.910><c> an</c><00:31:58.130><c> offering</c><00:31:58.289><c> they</c><00:31:58.509><c> made</c><00:31:58.609><c> to</c><00:31:58.769><c> the</c><00:31:58.930><c> temple,</c>

00:31:59.289 --> 00:32:01.130
saying<00:31:59.549><c> I'm</c><00:31:59.890><c> dedicating</c><00:32:00.250><c> this</c><00:32:00.430><c> money</c><00:32:00.529><c> to</c><00:32:00.670><c> the</c><00:32:00.890><c> temple,</c>

00:32:01.390 --> 00:32:02.910
and<00:32:01.549><c> therefore</c><00:32:01.750><c> it's</c><00:32:01.930><c> the</c><00:32:02.049><c> temple,</c><00:32:02.269><c> it's</c><00:32:02.450><c> not</c><00:32:02.650><c> mine,</c>

00:32:02.930 --> 00:32:04.930
so<00:32:03.109><c> I</c><00:32:03.210><c> don't</c><00:32:03.349><c> have</c><00:32:03.589><c> to</c><00:32:04.069><c> give</c><00:32:04.250><c> it</c><00:32:04.349><c> to</c><00:32:04.490><c> my</c><00:32:04.670><c> parents,</c>

00:32:08.849 --> 00:32:10.910
But<00:32:09.009><c> they</c><00:32:09.230><c> say,</c><00:32:09.650><c> what</c><00:32:09.710><c> you</c><00:32:09.910><c> would</c><00:32:10.029><c> have</c><00:32:10.150><c> gained</c><00:32:10.309><c> to</c><00:32:10.549><c> me</c>

00:32:10.910 --> 00:32:12.349
is<00:32:11.509><c> given</c><00:32:11.789><c> to</c><00:32:11.990><c> the</c><00:32:12.170><c> temple,</c>

00:32:12.349 --> 00:32:15.769
which<00:32:12.569><c> they</c><00:32:13.390><c> thought</c><00:32:13.549><c> was</c><00:32:13.750><c> a</c><00:32:13.910><c> holier</c><00:32:14.130><c> thing</c><00:32:14.309><c> to</c><00:32:14.470><c> do</c><00:32:14.569><c> with</c><00:32:14.789><c> that.</c>

00:32:16.509 --> 00:32:18.369
Then<00:32:16.769><c> you</c><00:32:16.890><c> no</c><00:32:17.130><c> longer</c><00:32:17.369><c> permit</c><00:32:17.650><c> him</c><00:32:17.789><c> to</c><00:32:17.910><c> do</c><00:32:18.049><c> anything</c>

00:32:18.369 --> 00:32:20.049

00:32:20.529 --> 00:32:21.970
Here,<00:32:21.009><c> I'm</c><00:32:21.210><c> in</c><00:32:21.289><c> verse</c><00:32:21.470><c> 13.</c>

00:32:22.450 --> 00:32:25.230
Thus<00:32:22.609><c> making</c><00:32:23.109><c> void</c><00:32:23.849><c> the</c><00:32:24.390><c> word</c><00:32:24.529><c> of</c><00:32:24.750><c> God</c>

00:32:25.230 --> 00:32:27.470
through<00:32:25.589><c> your</c><00:32:25.809><c> tradition,</c><00:32:26.490><c> which</c><00:32:26.650><c> you</c><00:32:26.970><c> hand</c><00:32:27.210><c> on,</c>

00:32:29.509 --> 00:32:32.230
In<00:32:29.670><c> other</c><00:32:29.769><c> words,</c><00:32:29.869><c> I</c><00:32:30.029><c> could</c><00:32:30.190><c> talk</c><00:32:30.410><c> all</c><00:32:30.730><c> day</c><00:32:31.190><c> to</c><00:32:31.630><c> you</c>

which<00:32:35.789><c> is</c><00:32:35.930><c> do</c><00:32:36.089><c> something</c><00:32:36.390><c> useful</c><00:32:36.869><c> and</c><00:32:37.150><c> practical</c>

00:32:37.490 --> 00:32:38.750
like<00:32:37.690><c> take</c><00:32:37.930><c> care</c><00:32:38.089><c> of</c><00:32:38.190><c> your</c><00:32:38.390><c> parents.</c>

00:32:39.130 --> 00:32:41.029
You<00:32:39.390><c> get</c><00:32:39.589><c> out</c><00:32:39.730><c> of</c><00:32:39.829><c> this</c><00:32:40.069><c> technicality</c><00:32:40.650><c> by</c><00:32:40.869><c> saying,</c>

00:32:41.029 --> 00:32:42.809
well,<00:32:41.190><c> that</c><00:32:41.369><c> money</c><00:32:41.609><c> was</c><00:32:41.829><c> actually</c><00:32:42.150><c> transferred</c><00:32:42.430><c> to</c><00:32:42.650><c> the</c><00:32:42.690><c> temple,</c>

00:32:42.890 --> 00:32:43.789
it's<00:32:43.009><c> not</c><00:32:43.130><c> at</c><00:32:43.230><c> my</c><00:32:43.349><c> disposal.</c>

00:32:44.029 --> 00:32:45.890
So<00:32:44.170><c> now</c><00:32:44.329><c> you</c><00:32:44.430><c> get</c><00:32:44.589><c> the</c><00:32:44.829><c> honor</c><00:32:45.089><c> of</c><00:32:45.309><c> having</c><00:32:45.509><c> your</c><00:32:45.710><c> name</c>

00:32:45.890 --> 00:32:46.750
inscribed<00:32:46.230><c> on</c><00:32:46.410><c> a</c><00:32:46.589><c> plaque,</c>

00:32:46.829 --> 00:32:48.349
because<00:32:46.950><c> you</c><00:32:47.089><c> gave</c><00:32:47.450><c> the</c><00:32:47.589><c> law</c><00:32:47.690><c> of</c><00:32:47.809><c> mind</c><00:32:47.890><c> to</c><00:32:48.009><c> the</c><00:32:48.150><c> temple,</c>

00:32:48.390 --> 00:32:49.730
which<00:32:48.509><c> your</c><00:32:48.690><c> parents</c><00:32:48.869><c> wouldn't</c><00:32:49.069><c> do</c><00:32:49.230><c> for</c><00:32:49.470><c> you.</c>

00:32:50.029 --> 00:32:50.750
See,<00:32:50.289><c> remember</c><00:32:50.509><c> that?</c>

00:32:50.769 --> 00:32:52.670
It's<00:32:51.009><c> important</c><00:32:51.289><c> to</c><00:32:51.450><c> be</c><00:32:51.569><c> seen</c><00:32:51.730><c> of</c><00:32:51.910><c> men.</c>

00:32:52.970 --> 00:32:54.789
So<00:32:53.089><c> they</c><00:32:53.250><c> did</c><00:32:53.390><c> that,</c><00:32:53.869><c> did</c><00:32:54.009><c> take</c><00:32:54.210><c> care</c><00:32:54.309><c> of</c><00:32:54.410><c> their</c><00:32:54.589><c> parents,</c>

00:32:54.930 --> 00:32:56.789
and<00:32:55.109><c> thought</c><00:32:55.230><c> they</c><00:32:55.410><c> were</c><00:32:55.569><c> fulfilling</c><00:32:56.089><c> God's</c><00:32:56.589><c> law</c>

00:32:56.789 --> 00:32:59.190
through<00:32:57.029><c> their</c><00:32:57.329><c> own</c><00:32:57.569><c> little</c><00:32:57.869><c> casuistry</c><00:32:58.470><c> that</c><00:32:58.690><c> they</c><00:32:58.890><c> did,</c>

00:32:59.410 --> 00:33:00.990
their<00:32:59.549><c> little</c><00:32:59.930><c> game</c><00:33:00.849><c> playing.</c>

00:33:01.250 --> 00:33:06.009
And<00:33:01.289><c> so</c><00:33:01.490><c> he</c><00:33:01.609><c> says,</c><00:33:01.789><c> you</c><00:33:02.029><c> are</c><00:33:02.349><c> really,</c><00:33:02.869><c> really</c><00:33:05.349><c> transgressing</c>

00:33:06.009 --> 00:33:06.710
what<00:33:06.210><c> God</c><00:33:06.450><c> wants.</c>

00:33:06.769 --> 00:33:08.210
That's<00:33:07.049><c> very</c><00:33:07.250><c> direct</c><00:33:07.750><c> teaching.</c>

00:33:08.210 --> 00:33:11.250
Now,<00:33:08.990><c> he</c><00:33:09.230><c> comes</c><00:33:09.450><c> back</c><00:33:09.730><c> to</c><00:33:09.869><c> the</c><00:33:10.049><c> issue</c><00:33:10.390><c> of</c><00:33:10.630><c> the</c><00:33:10.789><c> hand</c><00:33:11.009><c> washing.</c>

00:33:11.309 --> 00:33:13.470
He<00:33:11.529><c> kind</c><00:33:11.650><c> of</c><00:33:11.789><c> went</c><00:33:11.890><c> on</c><00:33:12.009><c> the</c><00:33:12.269><c> side</c><00:33:12.430><c> with</c><00:33:12.569><c> that</c><00:33:12.809><c> Korban,</c>

00:33:13.609 --> 00:33:15.369
whole<00:33:13.730><c> issue</c><00:33:13.970><c> of</c><00:33:14.150><c> the</c><00:33:14.430><c> commandment</c><00:33:15.089><c> there.</c>

00:33:15.390 --> 00:33:18.089
That<00:33:15.529><c> was,</c><00:33:16.410><c> he</c><00:33:16.589><c> kind</c><00:33:16.750><c> of</c><00:33:17.049><c> went</c><00:33:17.890><c> there.</c>

00:33:18.109 --> 00:33:21.509
Now<00:33:18.289><c> he</c><00:33:18.390><c> says,</c><00:33:18.670><c> well,</c><00:33:18.829><c> now</c><00:33:18.970><c> let's</c><00:33:19.130><c> talk</c><00:33:19.369><c> about</c><00:33:19.650><c> this</c><00:33:19.930><c> washing</c><00:33:20.390><c> business.</c>

00:33:21.950 --> 00:33:23.849
This<00:33:22.170><c> whole</c><00:33:22.430><c> thing</c><00:33:22.609><c> about</c><00:33:22.849><c> the</c><00:33:23.109><c> ceremonial</c><00:33:23.549><c> washing.</c>

00:33:24.009 --> 00:33:25.730
So<00:33:24.130><c> he</c><00:33:24.170><c> comes</c><00:33:24.349><c> back</c><00:33:24.589><c> to</c><00:33:24.730><c> verse</c><00:33:24.890><c> 14,</c><00:33:25.269><c> he</c><00:33:25.410><c> says,</c>

00:33:26.049 --> 00:33:29.089
he<00:33:26.230><c> called</c><00:33:26.490><c> the</c><00:33:26.710><c> people</c><00:33:26.950><c> to</c><00:33:27.089><c> him</c><00:33:27.269><c> again</c><00:33:27.730><c> and</c><00:33:28.470><c> said</c><00:33:28.670><c> to</c><00:33:28.809><c> them,</c>

00:33:29.250 --> 00:33:30.849
hear<00:33:29.490><c> me</c><00:33:29.690><c> all</c><00:33:29.849><c> of</c><00:33:29.990><c> you</c><00:33:30.109><c> and</c><00:33:30.329><c> understand,</c>

00:33:31.190 --> 00:33:34.950
there's<00:33:31.609><c> nothing,</c><00:33:32.210><c> there's</c><00:33:32.710><c> nothing</c><00:33:33.170><c> outside</c><00:33:33.769><c> a</c><00:33:34.009><c> man,</c>

come<00:35:21.610><c> from.</c>

00:35:22.690 --> 00:35:23.690
That's<00:35:22.969><c> what</c><00:35:23.090><c> Jesus</c><00:35:23.389><c> is</c><00:35:23.389><c> saying.</c>

00:35:23.789 --> 00:35:27.409
It's<00:35:23.969><c> your</c><00:35:24.210><c> evil</c><00:35:24.409><c> thoughts</c><00:35:25.030><c> that</c><00:35:25.809><c> lead</c><00:35:26.070><c> to</c><00:35:26.309><c> these</c><00:35:26.510><c> things.</c>

00:35:27.489 --> 00:35:30.130

00:35:34.630 --> 00:35:36.010
And<00:35:34.829><c> again,</c><00:35:34.909><c> that's</c><00:35:35.090><c> what</c><00:35:35.289><c> the</c><00:35:35.510><c> yes</c><00:35:35.650><c> scenes</c><00:35:35.809><c> did.</c>

00:35:36.050 --> 00:35:38.670
Let's<00:35:36.369><c> get</c><00:35:36.530><c> away</c><00:35:36.909><c> from</c><00:35:37.090><c> the</c><00:35:37.250><c> women,</c><00:35:37.510><c> go</c><00:35:37.690><c> down</c><00:35:37.909><c> and</c><00:35:38.110><c> hide</c><00:35:38.429><c> in</c>

00:35:40.869 --> 00:35:42.429
Don't<00:35:41.110><c> look</c><00:35:41.289><c> on</c><00:35:41.510><c> women.</c>

He<00:41:08.969><c> says,</c><00:41:09.210><c> no,</c><00:41:09.369><c> but</c><00:41:09.530><c> if</c><00:41:09.650><c> you</c><00:41:09.809><c> think</c><00:41:09.909><c> it's</c><00:41:10.130><c> a</c><00:41:10.289><c> problem,</c><00:41:10.449><c> don't</c>

It's<00:44:02.010><c> not</c><00:44:02.389><c> the</c><00:44:03.809><c> quote</c><00:44:04.050><c> out</c><00:44:04.489><c> there,</c><00:44:04.829><c> it's</c><00:44:05.230><c> the</c><00:44:05.469><c> in</c><00:44:05.809><c> here.</c>

00:44:06.570 --> 00:44:08.949

00:44:15.570 --> 00:44:17.670

00:44:18.170 --> 00:44:20.469
It's<00:44:18.429><c> our</c><00:44:18.630><c> basic</c><00:44:19.010><c> first</c><00:44:19.289><c> principle</c><00:44:19.630><c> teaching</c><00:44:19.969><c> about</c><00:44:20.230><c> the</c>

devil,<00:44:21.630><c> right?</c>

00:44:23.150 --> 00:44:29.510
I<00:44:23.590><c> mean,</c><00:44:23.769><c> we</c><00:44:23.949><c> say</c><00:44:24.130><c> all</c><00:44:24.369><c> the</c><00:44:24.550><c> time</c><00:44:24.889><c> that,</c><00:44:27.250><c> what,</c><00:44:27.809><c> turn</c><00:44:27.929><c> out,</c><00:44:28.030><c> you're</c><00:44:28.230><c> almost</c><00:44:28.409><c> in</c><00:44:28.650><c> James.</c>

00:44:29.909 --> 00:44:32.690
Go<00:44:30.090><c> to</c><00:44:30.250><c> James,</c><00:44:30.550><c> chapter</c><00:44:30.869><c> 1.</c>

00:44:42.829 --> 00:44:43.469
We<00:44:43.030><c> know</c><00:44:43.230><c> this.</c>

00:44:43.949 --> 00:44:47.349
Let<00:44:44.090><c> no</c><00:44:44.349><c> one</c><00:44:44.510><c> say</c><00:44:44.929><c> when</c><00:44:45.190><c> he's</c><00:44:45.449><c> tempted,</c><00:44:45.670><c> James</c><00:44:45.909><c> 1</c><00:44:46.130><c>.13,</c><00:44:46.530><c> I'm</c><00:44:46.730><c> tempted</c><00:44:47.050><c> by</c>

00:44:47.349 --> 00:44:49.329
God,<00:44:47.750><c> for</c><00:44:47.869><c> God</c><00:44:48.150><c> cannot</c><00:44:48.489><c> be</c><00:44:48.750><c> tempted</c><00:44:48.969><c> with</c><00:44:49.170><c> evil,</c>

00:44:49.369 --> 00:44:50.969
and<00:44:49.489><c> he</c><00:44:49.610><c> himself</c><00:44:49.889><c> tempts</c><00:44:50.289><c> no</c><00:44:50.489><c> one.</c>

00:44:50.969 --> 00:44:54.929
But<00:44:51.429><c> each</c><00:44:51.710><c> person</c><00:44:51.989><c> is</c><00:44:52.210><c> tempted</c><00:44:52.530><c> when</c><00:44:52.769><c> he</c><00:44:53.010><c> is</c><00:44:53.289><c> lured</c><00:44:53.630><c> and</c><00:44:54.170><c> enticed</c><00:44:54.670><c> by</c>

00:44:54.929 --> 00:44:56.530
his<00:44:55.210><c> own</c><00:44:55.449><c> desire.</c>

00:44:56.829 --> 00:44:58.690
Oh,<00:44:57.349><c> well,</c><00:44:57.469><c> we</c><00:44:57.630><c> know</c><00:44:57.809><c> that.</c>

00:44:58.849 --> 00:45:00.690
We<00:44:59.090><c> preach</c><00:44:59.309><c> that</c><00:44:59.550><c> as</c><00:44:59.769><c> an</c><00:45:00.030><c> obvious</c><00:45:00.210><c> first</c><00:45:00.409><c> principle.</c>

00:45:00.750 --> 00:45:03.710
There's<00:45:00.989><c> no</c><00:45:01.289><c> devil</c><00:45:01.570><c> out</c><00:45:01.949><c> there</c><00:45:02.230><c> that</c><00:45:02.429><c> makes</c><00:45:02.650><c> us</c><00:45:02.949><c> sin.</c>

00:45:04.130 --> 00:45:06.590
But<00:45:04.409><c> essentially,</c><00:45:04.869><c> that's</c><00:45:05.150><c> what</c><00:45:05.329><c> the</c><00:45:05.510><c> Jews</c><00:45:05.650><c> believed.</c>

00:45:07.250 --> 00:45:09.449
They<00:45:07.409><c> had</c><00:45:07.590><c> lots</c><00:45:07.789><c> of</c><00:45:08.030><c> devils.</c>

00:45:09.929 --> 00:45:11.929
Gentiles<00:45:10.349><c> were</c><00:45:10.570><c> devils.</c>

00:45:14.030 --> 00:45:15.510
Ham<00:45:14.250><c> was</c><00:45:14.510><c> a</c><00:45:14.670><c> devil.</c>

00:45:16.190 --> 00:45:18.630
Not<00:45:16.369><c> deviled</c><00:45:16.630><c> ham,</c><00:45:17.130><c> but</c><00:45:17.389><c> you</c><00:45:17.510><c> know</c><00:45:17.630><c> what</c><00:45:17.769><c> I</c><00:45:17.789><c> mean.</c>

00:45:19.250 --> 00:45:20.710
Eating<00:45:19.730><c> the</c><00:45:20.050><c> wrong</c><00:45:20.269><c> food.</c>

00:45:20.989 --> 00:45:23.670
There<00:45:21.150><c> was</c><00:45:21.369><c> something</c><00:45:21.710><c> out</c><00:45:22.030><c> there</c><00:45:22.329><c> in</c><00:45:22.809><c> the</c><00:45:23.050><c> effort</c><00:45:23.369><c> to</c>

00:45:23.670 --> 00:45:24.469
protect<00:45:23.989><c> yourself.</c>

00:45:24.570 --> 00:45:27.050
Remember,<00:45:25.590><c> it's</c><00:45:25.769><c> this</c><00:45:25.989><c> fundamental</c><00:45:26.650><c> thinking.</c>

00:45:27.190 --> 00:45:30.610
Where<00:45:27.590><c> is</c><00:45:27.949><c> really</c><00:45:28.269><c> evil</c><00:45:28.670><c> happen</c><00:45:29.150><c> if</c><00:45:29.650><c> I</c><00:45:29.889><c> just</c><00:45:30.070><c> stay</c><00:45:30.269><c> away</c><00:45:30.449><c> from</c>

00:45:30.610 --> 00:45:31.750
the<00:45:30.829><c> wrong</c><00:45:31.050><c> kind</c><00:45:31.289><c> of</c><00:45:31.469><c> music,</c>

00:45:31.809 --> 00:45:34.190
and<00:45:31.929><c> the</c><00:45:32.130><c> wrong</c><00:45:32.369><c> kind</c><00:45:32.610><c> of</c><00:45:32.809><c> people,</c><00:45:33.090><c> and</c><00:45:33.210><c> the</c><00:45:33.369><c> wrong</c><00:45:33.570><c> kind</c><00:45:33.750><c> of</c><00:45:33.929><c> movies,</c>

00:45:34.230 --> 00:45:39.630
and<00:45:34.369><c> the</c><00:45:34.530><c> wrong</c><00:45:34.730><c> kind</c><00:45:35.050><c> of</c><00:45:36.570><c> career,</c><00:45:37.349><c> and</c><00:45:37.929><c> the</c><00:45:38.170><c> wrong</c><00:45:38.489><c> kind</c><00:45:38.869><c> of...</c>

00:45:40.769 --> 00:45:43.969
And<00:45:41.090><c> just</c><00:45:41.690><c> stay</c><00:45:42.070><c> away</c><00:45:42.309><c> from</c><00:45:42.550><c> all</c><00:45:42.730><c> those</c><00:45:42.949><c> things.</c>

00:45:43.989 --> 00:45:47.130
You<00:45:44.070><c> know</c><00:45:44.170><c> where</c><00:45:44.309><c> you</c><00:45:44.489><c> end</c><00:45:44.690><c> up,</c><00:45:45.889><c> in</c><00:45:46.050><c> your</c><00:45:46.269><c> corner.</c>

00:45:47.750 --> 00:45:51.289
And<00:45:48.230><c> you're</c><00:45:48.530><c> maybe</c><00:45:48.889><c> not</c><00:45:49.210><c> very</c><00:45:49.389><c> useful,</c><00:45:49.789><c> but</c><00:45:50.010><c> you're</c><00:45:50.230><c> holy.</c>

00:45:52.949 --> 00:45:56.349
And<00:45:53.269><c> you</c><00:45:53.409><c> stay</c><00:45:53.690><c> away,</c><00:45:54.469><c> and</c><00:45:54.650><c> your</c><00:45:54.730><c> life</c><00:45:54.989><c> now</c><00:45:55.230><c> becomes</c><00:45:55.550><c> avoiding</c><00:45:56.010><c> things.</c>

00:45:56.409 --> 00:45:58.070
But<00:45:56.550><c> what</c><00:45:56.670><c> are</c><00:45:56.730><c> you</c><00:45:56.849><c> always</c><00:45:57.070><c> taking</c><00:45:57.289><c> with</c><00:45:57.590><c> you?</c>

00:45:58.409 --> 00:45:59.610
Your<00:45:58.590><c> own</c><00:45:58.809><c> mind.</c>

00:45:59.710 --> 00:46:01.710
Some<00:45:59.969><c> people</c><00:46:00.309><c> try</c><00:46:00.550><c> to</c><00:46:00.730><c> join</c><00:46:00.989><c> monasteries.</c>

00:46:02.030 --> 00:46:04.409
Some<00:46:02.250><c> people</c><00:46:02.510><c> try</c><00:46:02.710><c> to</c><00:46:02.929><c> make</c><00:46:03.050><c> religious</c><00:46:03.449><c> laws.</c>

00:46:05.110 --> 00:46:08.210
But<00:46:05.309><c> you</c><00:46:05.590><c> never</c><00:46:05.989><c> get</c><00:46:06.210><c> away</c><00:46:06.469><c> from</c><00:46:06.690><c> the</c><00:46:06.889><c> fact</c><00:46:07.130><c> that</c><00:46:07.889><c> there</c><00:46:07.889><c> are</c>

00:46:08.210 --> 00:46:09.489
certainly<00:46:08.449><c> good</c><00:46:08.730><c> things</c><00:46:08.989><c> we</c><00:46:09.190><c> can</c><00:46:09.369><c> do</c>

00:46:09.489 --> 00:46:10.969
which<00:46:09.670><c> will</c><00:46:09.889><c> help</c><00:46:10.030><c> us</c><00:46:10.289><c> build</c><00:46:10.429><c> our</c><00:46:10.750><c> faith.</c>

00:46:11.070 --> 00:46:12.409
There's<00:46:11.190><c> no</c><00:46:11.389><c> question</c><00:46:11.710><c> about</c><00:46:11.969><c> that.</c>

00:46:12.869 --> 00:46:14.889
There<00:46:13.050><c> are</c><00:46:13.289><c> things</c><00:46:13.489><c> which</c><00:46:13.750><c> are</c><00:46:13.949><c> right</c><00:46:14.289><c> to</c><00:46:14.670><c> do.</c>

00:46:14.889 --> 00:46:18.309
It<00:46:15.170><c> is</c><00:46:15.449><c> right</c><00:46:15.610><c> to</c><00:46:15.829><c> be</c><00:46:16.110><c> in</c><00:46:16.349><c> worship</c><00:46:16.730><c> on</c><00:46:17.070><c> Sunday</c><00:46:17.389><c> morning,</c><00:46:17.710><c> for</c><00:46:17.949><c> instance.</c>

00:46:18.610 --> 00:46:20.329
But<00:46:18.769><c> not</c><00:46:19.010><c> right</c><00:46:19.210><c> in</c><00:46:19.369><c> the</c><00:46:19.449><c> sense</c><00:46:19.610><c> that,</c><00:46:19.869><c> well,</c><00:46:19.869><c> now</c><00:46:20.070><c> that</c><00:46:20.190><c> I've</c>

00:46:21.130 --> 00:46:23.030
God<00:46:21.309><c> owes</c><00:46:21.489><c> me</c><00:46:21.730><c> something,</c><00:46:22.050><c> it's</c><00:46:22.289><c> right</c><00:46:22.449><c> in</c><00:46:22.630><c> the</c><00:46:22.710><c> sense</c><00:46:22.889><c> that</c>

which<00:46:24.570><c> strengthens</c><00:46:25.050><c> our</c><00:46:25.309><c> faith.</c>

00:46:26.010 --> 00:46:26.889
This<00:46:26.289><c> is</c><00:46:26.510><c> a</c><00:46:26.650><c> work.</c>

00:46:27.110 --> 00:46:29.349

00:51:25.650 --> 00:51:28.329

The<00:51:34.630><c> righteousness</c><00:51:35.150><c> of</c><00:51:35.449><c> the</c><00:51:35.650><c> law</c><00:51:35.909><c> is</c><00:51:36.110><c> the</c><00:51:36.269><c> righteousness</c>

00:51:40.230 --> 00:51:44.949

This<00:51:48.329><c> is</c><00:51:48.510><c> what</c><00:51:48.630><c> keeps</c><00:51:48.869><c> us</c><00:51:49.130><c> pure,</c><00:51:50.329><c> not</c><00:51:50.630><c> rules</c><00:51:50.929><c> and</c><00:51:51.170><c> regulations,</c>

00:51:56.449 --> 00:51:58.610
These<00:51:56.889><c> are</c><00:51:57.130><c> wonderful,</c><00:51:57.809><c> wonderful</c><00:51:58.250><c> words,</c>

00:51:58.630 --> 00:52:00.750

00:52:00.750 --> 00:52:04.630
We<00:52:00.849><c> can't</c><00:52:01.170><c> make</c><00:52:01.389><c> a</c><00:52:01.530><c> law</c><00:52:02.110><c> about</c><00:52:03.710><c> them.</c>

Our<00:52:05.510><c> expression</c><00:52:06.010><c> is</c><00:52:06.170><c> you</c><00:52:06.250><c> can't</c><00:52:06.570><c> legislate</c><00:52:06.989><c> morality.</c>

00:52:09.369 --> 00:52:11.489
That's<00:52:09.650><c> really</c><00:52:09.849><c> what</c><00:52:10.030><c> this</c><00:52:10.809><c> series</c><00:52:10.969><c> is</c><00:52:11.090><c> all</c><00:52:11.230><c> about.</c>

00:52:11.650 --> 00:52:12.949
You<00:52:11.789><c> can't</c><00:52:12.210><c> legislate</c><00:52:12.670><c> morality.</c>

00:52:13.030 --> 00:52:15.170
You<00:52:13.130><c> can't</c><00:52:13.489><c> make</c><00:52:13.750><c> laws</c><00:52:14.030><c> that</c><00:52:14.269><c> make</c><00:52:14.369><c> people</c><00:52:14.650><c> righteous.</c>

00:52:15.550 --> 00:52:18.070
You<00:52:15.630><c> want</c><00:52:15.710><c> to</c><00:52:15.809><c> make</c><00:52:15.949><c> laws</c><00:52:16.389><c> that</c><00:52:16.730><c> prevent</c><00:52:17.050><c> behavior.</c>

00:52:18.369 --> 00:52:21.289
These<00:52:18.670><c> things</c><00:52:18.909><c> grow</c><00:52:19.130><c> out</c><00:52:19.329><c> of</c><00:52:19.610><c> relationship</c><00:52:20.090><c> with</c><00:52:20.309><c> God,</c>

00:52:21.909 --> 00:52:24.909
out<00:52:22.010><c> of</c><00:52:22.110><c> an</c><00:52:22.309><c> understanding</c><00:52:22.849><c> of</c><00:52:23.170><c> what</c><00:52:23.449><c> forgiveness</c><00:52:23.869><c> is</c><00:52:24.429><c> in</c><00:52:24.690><c> the</c>

the<00:52:26.989><c> hope</c><00:52:27.150><c> of</c><00:52:27.349><c> the</c><00:52:27.510><c> kingdom</c><00:52:27.769><c> that</c><00:52:28.170><c> motivates</c><00:52:28.630><c> our</c><00:52:28.889><c> behavior.</c>

00:52:29.429 --> 00:52:33.130
That's<00:52:30.449><c> what</c><00:52:30.570><c> keeps</c><00:52:30.829><c> us</c><00:52:31.050><c> pure</c><00:52:31.650><c> and</c><00:52:32.070><c> holy.</c>

00:52:35.530 --> 00:52:38.670
There's<00:52:35.690><c> a</c><00:52:35.849><c> very</c><00:52:36.130><c> sad</c><00:52:36.409><c> fact</c><00:52:36.730><c> about</c><00:52:36.989><c> these</c><00:52:37.289><c> five</c><00:52:37.550><c> words</c>

00:52:39.929 --> 00:52:44.969
that<00:52:40.570><c> even</c><00:52:40.809><c> though</c><00:52:41.510><c> we</c><00:52:42.010><c> are</c><00:52:42.610><c> very</c><00:52:43.090><c> familiar</c><00:52:43.570><c> with</c><00:52:43.869><c> them,</c>

00:52:45.230 --> 00:52:47.650
we<00:52:45.530><c> use</c><00:52:45.730><c> them</c><00:52:45.889><c> all</c><00:52:46.110><c> the</c><00:52:46.349><c> time,</c>

00:52:48.889 --> 00:52:53.869
they<00:52:49.010><c> are</c><00:52:49.369><c> virtually</c><00:52:49.909><c> almost,</c><00:52:51.489><c> well,</c><00:52:52.570><c> virtually</c><00:52:52.829><c> means</c><00:52:53.090><c> real.</c>

00:52:54.429 --> 00:52:55.429
Let's<00:52:54.510><c> use</c><00:52:54.630><c> my</c><00:52:54.789><c> English</c><00:52:54.989><c> correctly.</c>

00:52:55.429 --> 00:53:00.769
They<00:52:56.250><c> are</c><00:52:56.550><c> close</c><00:52:56.909><c> to</c><00:52:57.289><c> being</c><00:52:57.690><c> entirely</c><00:52:58.230><c> absent</c><00:52:58.710><c> from</c><00:52:58.989><c> our</c><00:52:59.210><c> statement</c><00:52:59.489><c> of</c><00:52:59.730><c> faith.</c>

00:53:05.349 --> 00:53:07.510
I<00:53:05.409><c> think</c><00:53:05.610><c> there's</c><00:53:05.889><c> one</c><00:53:06.329><c> mention</c><00:53:06.590><c> of</c><00:53:06.769><c> the</c><00:53:06.829><c> word</c><00:53:06.949><c> love,</c>

00:53:08.010 --> 00:53:10.050
none<00:53:08.170><c> of</c><00:53:08.369><c> mercy,</c><00:53:08.769><c> none</c><00:53:08.869><c> of</c><00:53:09.130><c> grace.</c>

00:53:10.309 --> 00:53:14.070
Faith<00:53:10.309><c> only</c><00:53:12.050><c> shows</c><00:53:12.210><c> up</c><00:53:12.409><c> in</c><00:53:12.550><c> the</c><00:53:12.710><c> word</c><00:53:12.710><c> faithfulness,</c>

00:53:14.250 --> 00:53:16.670
and<00:53:14.429><c> I</c><00:53:14.510><c> think</c><00:53:14.670><c> there's</c><00:53:14.929><c> a</c><00:53:15.030><c> couple</c><00:53:15.269><c> reference</c><00:53:15.690><c> to</c><00:53:15.889><c> hope.</c>

00:53:18.550 --> 00:53:21.570
These<00:53:18.849><c> are</c><00:53:19.050><c> the</c><00:53:19.210><c> pillars</c><00:53:19.449><c> of</c><00:53:19.690><c> our</c><00:53:19.949><c> faith,</c><00:53:20.630><c> and</c><00:53:20.909><c> we</c><00:53:21.090><c> know</c><00:53:21.309><c> that,</c>

00:53:21.570 --> 00:53:28.590
but<00:53:22.409><c> it's</c><00:53:22.610><c> a</c><00:53:22.690><c> real</c><00:53:22.869><c> shame</c><00:53:23.590><c> that</c><00:53:25.349><c> we</c><00:53:27.829><c> don't</c><00:53:28.110><c> have</c><00:53:28.449><c> them</c>

00:53:28.590 --> 00:53:31.230
where<00:53:28.789><c> they</c><00:53:29.110><c> ought</c><00:53:29.329><c> to</c><00:53:29.789><c> really</c><00:53:30.110><c> be.</c>

00:53:31.869 --> 00:53:33.989
But,<00:53:32.429><c> you</c><00:53:32.650><c> know,</c><00:53:32.769><c> that's</c><00:53:32.989><c> really</c><00:53:33.329><c> kind</c><00:53:33.489><c> of</c><00:53:33.690><c> okay,</c>

00:53:34.050 --> 00:53:37.670
because<00:53:34.369><c> faith</c><00:53:34.570><c> doesn't</c><00:53:34.829><c> come</c><00:53:35.030><c> in</c><00:53:35.210><c> a</c><00:53:35.289><c> statement</c><00:53:35.510><c> anyway,</c><00:53:35.949><c> does</c><00:53:36.130><c> it?</c>

00:53:38.829 --> 00:53:41.190
The<00:53:39.349><c> very</c><00:53:39.530><c> name</c><00:53:39.809><c> is</c><00:53:39.989><c> a</c><00:53:40.090><c> little</c><00:53:40.210><c> bit</c><00:53:40.389><c> awkward.</c>

00:53:43.769 --> 00:53:47.150
These<00:53:44.289><c> are</c><00:53:44.809><c> things</c><00:53:45.170><c> which</c><00:53:45.449><c> you</c><00:53:45.610><c> can't</c><00:53:45.949><c> write</c><00:53:46.210><c> down</c><00:53:46.429><c> on</c><00:53:46.710><c> paper,</c>

00:53:47.530 --> 00:53:49.730
and<00:53:47.710><c> you</c><00:53:48.250><c> can't</c><00:53:48.610><c> say,</c><00:53:48.969><c> well,</c><00:53:49.510><c> you</c><00:53:49.650><c> know,</c>

00:53:49.730 --> 00:53:53.590
here's<00:53:50.010><c> our</c><00:53:50.949><c> document</c><00:53:51.530><c> that</c><00:53:51.849><c> we</c><00:53:52.030><c> say</c><00:53:52.150><c> we</c><00:53:52.329><c> have</c><00:53:52.469><c> these</c><00:53:52.710><c> things.</c>

00:53:53.829 --> 00:53:55.389
That<00:53:54.110><c> wouldn't</c><00:53:54.369><c> really</c><00:53:54.590><c> do</c><00:53:54.750><c> us</c><00:53:54.949><c> any</c><00:53:55.190><c> good.</c>

00:53:55.570 --> 00:53:57.730
I<00:53:55.670><c> mean,</c><00:53:55.750><c> we</c><00:53:55.889><c> should</c><00:53:56.070><c> have</c><00:53:56.349><c> them</c><00:53:56.429><c> to</c><00:53:56.690><c> remind</c><00:53:57.030><c> us</c><00:53:57.250><c> that</c><00:53:57.409><c> we</c><00:53:57.570><c> have</c>

00:53:57.730 --> 00:53:58.090
to<00:53:57.869><c> do</c><00:53:57.949><c> them,</c>

00:53:58.449 --> 00:53:59.909
