00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:20.339
We<00:00:15.099><c> were</c><00:00:15.359><c> focusing</c><00:00:15.820><c> yesterday</c><00:00:16.519><c> on</c><00:00:17.800><c> an</c><00:00:18.059><c> important</c><00:00:18.379><c> phrase</c><00:00:19.059><c> in</c>

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.899
We<00:00:23.120><c> were</c><00:00:23.300><c> exploring</c><00:00:23.699><c> what</c><00:00:23.879><c> does</c><00:00:24.079><c> this</c><00:00:24.320><c> mean</c><00:00:24.839><c> for</c><00:00:26.300><c> ourselves</c>

00:00:26.899 --> 00:00:28.440

00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:32.079
in<00:00:28.539><c> the</c><00:00:28.739><c> context</c><00:00:29.260><c> of</c><00:00:29.500><c> the</c><00:00:29.620><c> Ephesian</c><00:00:29.980><c> letter,</c><00:00:31.280><c> especially</c><00:00:31.539><c> keeping</c><00:00:31.839><c> in</c>

00:00:33.539 --> 00:00:36.299

00:00:36.299 --> 00:00:38.500
the<00:00:36.520><c> environment</c><00:00:36.840><c> they</c><00:00:37.039><c> had</c><00:00:37.240><c> to</c><00:00:37.420><c> cope</c><00:00:37.579><c> with.</c>

00:00:38.539 --> 00:00:40.640
We<00:00:38.820><c> were</c><00:00:38.979><c> looking</c><00:00:39.200><c> at</c><00:00:39.439><c> that</c><00:00:39.700><c> verse.</c>

00:00:41.979 --> 00:00:45.280
Who<00:00:42.100><c> hath</c><00:00:42.539><c> blessed</c><00:00:43.000><c> us</c><00:00:43.340><c> with</c><00:00:43.560><c> all</c><00:00:43.939><c> spiritual</c><00:00:44.500><c> blessings</c><00:00:45.020><c> in</c>

00:00:48.820 --> 00:00:52.920
We<00:00:49.200><c> said,</c><00:00:49.380><c> alright,</c><00:00:49.679><c> what</c><00:00:49.799><c> does</c><00:00:49.960><c> it</c><00:00:50.159><c> mean,</c><00:00:50.600><c> spiritual</c><00:00:51.140><c> blessings,</c><00:00:52.020><c> and</c><00:00:52.259><c> especially</c><00:00:52.679><c> in</c>

00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:54.299
heavenly<00:00:53.259><c> places?</c>

00:00:54.619 --> 00:00:59.039
Someone<00:00:55.219><c> suggested</c><00:00:55.780><c> over</c><00:00:56.039><c> here</c><00:00:56.240><c> yesterday</c><00:00:56.780><c> that</c><00:00:58.020><c> his</c><00:00:58.460><c> Bible</c>

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.659
renders<00:00:59.600><c> it</c><00:01:00.179><c> heavenly</c><00:01:00.520><c> things.</c>

00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:04.079
We<00:01:01.939><c> can</c><00:01:02.100><c> take</c><00:01:02.340><c> both</c><00:01:02.679><c> actually</c><00:01:03.079><c> and</c><00:01:03.320><c> accommodate</c><00:01:03.740><c> them.</c>

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:05.019
It's<00:01:04.359><c> not</c><00:01:04.519><c> a</c><00:01:04.739><c> problem.</c>

00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:09.459
The<00:01:05.560><c> original</c><00:01:05.900><c> Greek</c><00:01:06.480><c> can</c><00:01:07.379><c> mean</c><00:01:07.700><c> things</c><00:01:08.219><c> and</c><00:01:08.719><c> it's</c><00:01:09.000><c> elastic</c>

00:01:09.459 --> 00:01:11.579
enough<00:01:09.799><c> to</c><00:01:10.060><c> also</c><00:01:10.379><c> mean</c><00:01:10.620><c> places.</c>

00:01:11.859 --> 00:01:14.359
We'll<00:01:12.079><c> take</c><00:01:12.299><c> a</c><00:01:12.420><c> look</c><00:01:12.540><c> at</c><00:01:12.780><c> things</c><00:01:13.019><c> and</c><00:01:13.200><c> then</c><00:01:13.280><c> we'll</c><00:01:13.400><c> take</c><00:01:13.640><c> a</c><00:01:13.700><c> look</c><00:01:13.840><c> at</c><00:01:14.060><c> places.</c>

00:01:14.739 --> 00:01:17.120
There's<00:01:15.340><c> a</c><00:01:15.640><c> significance</c><00:01:16.000><c> to</c><00:01:16.299><c> both.</c>

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.799
So<00:01:17.980><c> at</c><00:01:18.540><c> the</c><00:01:18.659><c> end</c><00:01:18.780><c> of</c><00:01:18.959><c> yesterday's</c><00:01:19.599><c> class</c><00:01:20.000><c> we</c><00:01:20.159><c> were</c><00:01:20.420><c> focusing</c>

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:22.640
on<00:01:21.560><c> some</c><00:01:21.859><c> of</c><00:01:21.980><c> these</c><00:01:22.180><c> blessings.</c>

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.920
I<00:01:22.840><c> want</c><00:01:23.040><c> to</c><00:01:23.180><c> now</c><00:01:23.280><c> go</c><00:01:23.480><c> back</c><00:01:23.760><c> over</c><00:01:23.959><c> them.</c>

00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.379
I'm<00:01:25.700><c> highlighting</c><00:01:26.159><c> where</c><00:01:26.540><c> they're</c><00:01:26.920><c> found.</c>

00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.239
You<00:01:27.760><c> might</c><00:01:27.939><c> want</c><00:01:28.120><c> to</c><00:01:28.319><c> color</c><00:01:28.420><c> them</c><00:01:28.560><c> with</c><00:01:28.700><c> a</c><00:01:28.879><c> pencil</c><00:01:29.219><c> or</c><00:01:29.840><c> make</c><00:01:30.060><c> a</c>

00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.579
note<00:01:30.400><c> beside</c><00:01:30.780><c> them</c><00:01:30.980><c> or</c><00:01:31.140><c> a</c><00:01:31.379><c> pencil</c><00:01:31.640><c> mark</c>

00:01:32.420 --> 00:01:35.519
so<00:01:32.700><c> you</c><00:01:32.819><c> can</c><00:01:33.040><c> point</c><00:01:33.260><c> them</c><00:01:33.480><c> out</c><00:01:33.840><c> to</c><00:01:34.140><c> yourself</c><00:01:34.500><c> later.</c>

00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:40.799
What<00:01:37.659><c> does</c><00:01:37.859><c> the</c><00:01:38.099><c> apostle</c><00:01:38.480><c> say</c><00:01:38.760><c> are</c><00:01:38.959><c> these</c><00:01:39.480><c> spiritual</c><00:01:40.019><c> blessings</c><00:01:40.500><c> in</c>

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.180
heavenly<00:01:41.099><c> places?</c>

00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.620
First<00:01:44.400><c> of</c><00:01:44.640><c> all,</c><00:01:45.079><c> we</c><00:01:45.180><c> notice</c><00:01:45.500><c> in</c><00:01:45.659><c> verse</c><00:01:45.939><c> 4</c><00:01:46.359><c> one</c><00:01:46.739><c> very</c><00:01:47.079><c> important</c><00:01:47.540><c> blessing.</c>

That<00:01:50.099><c> what</c><00:01:50.659><c> Christ</c><00:01:51.180><c> has</c><00:01:51.480><c> done</c><00:01:51.739><c> for</c><00:01:52.120><c> us</c><00:01:52.879><c> is</c><00:01:54.299><c> to</c><00:01:54.620><c> make</c><00:01:54.819><c> us</c><00:01:55.340><c> holy</c>

00:02:04.780 --> 00:02:11.919
Now,<00:02:05.900><c> if</c><00:02:06.519><c> we're</c><00:02:06.920><c> imperfect,</c><00:02:09.259><c> and</c><00:02:09.599><c> I'm</c><00:02:09.800><c> sure</c><00:02:09.860><c> we</c><00:02:10.060><c> all</c><00:02:10.280><c> are,</c><00:02:11.759><c> if</c>

00:02:24.740 --> 00:02:29.639
How<00:02:25.099><c> can</c><00:02:25.259><c> that</c><00:02:25.539><c> be</c><00:02:26.080><c> that</c><00:02:26.439><c> we</c><00:02:26.620><c> are</c><00:02:26.800><c> made</c><00:02:27.020><c> holy</c><00:02:27.479><c> and</c><00:02:28.060><c> without</c><00:02:28.419><c> blame</c><00:02:28.879><c> before</c><00:02:29.379><c> him</c>

00:02:31.819 --> 00:02:34.300
How<00:02:32.020><c> could</c><00:02:32.199><c> any</c><00:02:32.400><c> of</c><00:02:32.500><c> us</c><00:02:32.599><c> say</c><00:02:32.780><c> that</c><00:02:32.919><c> we</c><00:02:33.060><c> could</c><00:02:33.219><c> come</c><00:02:33.400><c> before</c><00:02:33.780><c> God</c>

00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:41.639
How<00:02:40.819><c> does</c><00:02:40.979><c> that</c><00:02:41.240><c> work?</c>

00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:42.620
Yes?

00:02:42.659 --> 00:02:45.020
Is<00:02:42.780><c> that</c><00:02:43.039><c> saying</c><00:02:43.340><c> maybe</c><00:02:43.960><c> forgiveness?</c>

Remember,<00:02:46.520><c> forgiveness</c><00:02:46.819><c> is</c><00:02:47.039><c> mentioned</c><00:02:47.300><c> later</c><00:02:47.599><c> on,</c><00:02:48.159><c> so</c><00:02:48.599><c> that's</c><00:02:49.060><c> a</c>

00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:23.879
Right.

00:14:24.379 --> 00:14:25.620
Very<00:14:24.639><c> good</c><00:14:24.860><c> point.</c>

00:15:43.620 --> 00:15:45.820
Would<00:15:43.840><c> it</c><00:15:43.980><c> be</c><00:15:44.159><c> neat</c><00:15:44.299><c> to</c><00:15:44.480><c> be</c><00:15:44.679><c> adopted,</c><00:15:45.039><c> or</c><00:15:45.299><c> would</c><00:15:45.419><c> it</c><00:15:45.519><c> be</c><00:15:45.720><c> better</c>

00:15:45.820 --> 00:15:46.740
to<00:15:45.980><c> be</c><00:15:46.080><c> the</c><00:15:46.259><c> other</c><00:15:46.440><c> way?</c>

00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:49.860
And<00:15:47.320><c> I</c><00:15:47.419><c> remember</c><00:15:47.620><c> debating</c><00:15:48.080><c> back</c><00:15:48.460><c> and</c><00:15:48.659><c> forth</c><00:15:48.840><c> with</c><00:15:49.080><c> friends.</c>

00:16:17.940 --> 00:16:24.639
OK,<00:16:20.220><c> so</c><00:16:20.580><c> adoption,</c><00:16:21.519><c> very</c><00:16:21.860><c> important</c><00:16:22.500><c> to</c><00:16:22.820><c> see</c><00:16:23.080><c> as</c><00:16:23.580><c> a</c><00:16:23.759><c> blessing.</c>

00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:26.460
How<00:16:24.940><c> have</c><00:16:25.159><c> we</c><00:16:25.320><c> been</c><00:16:25.519><c> adopted?</c>

00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.240
Well,<00:16:27.679><c> we're</c><00:16:27.779><c> not</c><00:16:27.980><c> natural</c><00:16:28.340><c> Jews.</c>

00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:31.279
On<00:16:29.980><c> what</c><00:16:30.159><c> basis</c><00:16:30.500><c> are</c><00:16:30.720><c> we</c><00:16:30.940><c> adopted?</c>

00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:35.419
On<00:16:31.600><c> the</c><00:16:31.759><c> basis</c><00:16:31.960><c> we</c><00:16:32.139><c> just</c><00:16:32.399><c> looked</c><00:16:32.580><c> at,</c><00:16:33.200><c> change</c><00:16:33.379><c> of</c><00:16:33.620><c> heart,</c><00:16:34.139><c> change</c><00:16:34.399><c> of</c><00:16:34.620><c> life.</c>

00:16:35.940 --> 00:16:39.340
That's<00:16:36.340><c> the</c><00:16:36.559><c> sense</c><00:16:36.919><c> in</c><00:16:37.200><c> which</c><00:16:37.399><c> we</c><00:16:37.700><c> are</c><00:16:38.259><c> adopted.</c>

00:16:39.580 --> 00:16:41.360
And<00:16:40.100><c> it</c><00:16:40.220><c> is</c><00:16:40.419><c> a</c><00:16:40.559><c> blessing.</c>

00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:45.259
And<00:16:41.799><c> there</c><00:16:41.940><c> is</c><00:16:42.120><c> a</c><00:16:42.279><c> sense</c><00:16:42.440><c> in</c><00:16:42.600><c> which</c><00:16:42.740><c> we</c><00:16:42.919><c> have</c><00:16:43.120><c> been</c><00:16:43.360><c> chosen</c><00:16:43.759><c> by</c><00:16:44.159><c> God.</c>

00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.399
And<00:16:45.799><c> therefore</c><00:16:46.240><c> we</c><00:16:46.500><c> are</c><00:16:46.740><c> made</c><00:16:46.960><c> accepted</c><00:16:47.639><c> in</c><00:16:47.980><c> the</c><00:16:48.200><c> beloved.</c>

00:16:48.500 --> 00:16:49.820
How<00:16:48.759><c> are</c><00:16:48.919><c> we</c><00:16:49.080><c> made</c><00:16:49.259><c> accepted?</c>

00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:51.299
Verse<00:16:50.299><c> six.</c>

00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:52.940
Well,<00:16:51.539><c> verse</c><00:16:51.740><c> seven</c><00:16:52.019><c> is</c><00:16:52.200><c> more</c><00:16:52.440><c> clear.</c>

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.600
Redemption.<00:16:53.860><c> We</c><00:16:54.080><c> looked</c><00:16:54.220><c> at</c><00:16:54.399><c> that</c><00:16:54.600><c> yesterday.</c>

00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:57.080
The<00:16:56.000><c> forgiveness</c><00:16:56.320><c> of</c><00:16:56.700><c> sins.</c>

00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.139
We<00:16:57.580><c> looked</c><00:16:57.720><c> at</c><00:16:57.879><c> that</c><00:16:58.100><c> yesterday.</c>

00:16:59.860 --> 00:17:04.339
So<00:17:00.320><c> obviously,</c><00:17:00.799><c> these</c><00:17:01.059><c> all</c><00:17:01.500><c> tie</c><00:17:01.840><c> together</c><00:17:02.559><c> as</c><00:17:03.419><c> part</c><00:17:03.700><c> of</c><00:17:03.919><c> our</c>

00:17:04.339 --> 00:17:06.180
spiritual<00:17:05.039><c> blessings.</c>

00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:08.400
Now,<00:17:07.059><c> how</c><00:17:07.220><c> about</c><00:17:07.319><c> this</c><00:17:07.579><c> one</c><00:17:07.700><c> in</c><00:17:07.839><c> verse</c><00:17:08.079><c> seven?</c>

00:17:08.579 --> 00:17:10.440
We<00:17:08.779><c> touched</c><00:17:09.059><c> on</c><00:17:09.240><c> this</c><00:17:09.440><c> yesterday.</c>

00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:12.160
The<00:17:11.000><c> riches</c><00:17:11.279><c> of</c><00:17:11.460><c> his</c><00:17:11.680><c> grace.</c>

00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:17.480
Could<00:17:12.720><c> someone</c><00:17:13.000><c> tell</c><00:17:13.339><c> me,</c><00:17:15.200><c> what</c><00:17:15.319><c> does</c><00:17:15.480><c> the</c><00:17:15.680><c> Bible</c><00:17:15.900><c> mean</c><00:17:16.180><c> by</c><00:17:16.480><c> grace?</c>

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:20.319
Grace.

00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:22.700
What<00:17:20.700><c> does</c><00:17:20.920><c> the</c><00:17:21.119><c> Bible</c><00:17:21.299><c> mean</c><00:17:21.519><c> by</c><00:17:21.740><c> that</c><00:17:21.920><c> word?</c>

00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:25.480
Grace.<00:17:24.339><c> What</c><00:17:24.440><c> is</c><00:17:24.619><c> it?</c><00:17:25.259><c> Yes.</c>

00:17:25.619 --> 00:17:27.119
Mercy<00:17:26.039><c> or</c><00:17:26.279><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:17:27.660 --> 00:17:29.160
I<00:17:27.960><c> think</c><00:17:28.119><c> that's</c><00:17:28.480><c> involved</c><00:17:28.740><c> for</c><00:17:29.000><c> sure.</c>

00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:30.660
Mercy<00:17:29.480><c> or</c><00:17:29.720><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.900
Now,<00:17:30.880><c> since</c><00:17:31.140><c> the</c><00:17:31.420><c> Greek</c><00:17:31.539><c> has</c><00:17:31.799><c> a</c><00:17:32.039><c> separate</c><00:17:32.220><c> word</c><00:17:32.420><c> for</c><00:17:32.640><c> mercy</c>

00:17:32.900 --> 00:17:34.279
and<00:17:33.079><c> another</c><00:17:33.279><c> word</c><00:17:33.539><c> for</c><00:17:33.859><c> forgiveness,</c>

00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:37.420
as<00:17:34.920><c> well</c><00:17:35.160><c> as</c><00:17:35.319><c> the</c><00:17:35.420><c> word</c><00:17:35.660><c> grace,</c><00:17:36.420><c> I</c><00:17:36.519><c> wonder</c><00:17:36.640><c> if</c><00:17:36.720><c> we</c><00:17:36.839><c> can</c><00:17:37.099><c> somehow</c>

00:17:37.420 --> 00:17:39.240
separate<00:17:37.940><c> the</c><00:17:38.240><c> shades</c><00:17:38.559><c> of</c><00:17:38.980><c> meaning,</c>

00:17:39.380 --> 00:17:40.900
because<00:17:39.599><c> there</c><00:17:39.759><c> is</c><00:17:39.900><c> an</c><00:17:40.079><c> overlap.</c>

00:17:41.140 --> 00:17:42.640
Somebody<00:17:41.740><c> else?</c><00:17:42.339><c> Yes.</c>

00:17:42.700 --> 00:17:43.599
Undeserved<00:17:43.299><c> kindness.</c>

00:17:43.819 --> 00:17:45.880
That's<00:17:44.400><c> excellent,</c><00:17:44.779><c> and</c><00:17:44.960><c> that</c><00:17:45.140><c> really</c><00:17:45.319><c> comes</c><00:17:45.500><c> right</c><00:17:45.680><c> out</c><00:17:45.779><c> of</c>

00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:47.380
the<00:17:46.039><c> concordance,</c><00:17:46.519><c> I</c><00:17:46.640><c> think.</c>

00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:48.039
Say<00:17:47.640><c> it</c><00:17:47.779><c> again.</c>

00:17:48.339 --> 00:17:49.680
Undeserved<00:17:48.819><c> kindness.</c>

00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:52.799
Undeserved<00:17:50.799><c> kindness</c><00:17:51.400><c> or</c><00:17:51.880><c> favor.</c>

00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:56.059
If<00:17:53.420><c> you</c><00:17:53.500><c> looked</c><00:17:53.680><c> it</c><00:17:53.799><c> up</c><00:17:53.920><c> in</c><00:17:54.180><c> Vines</c><00:17:54.619><c> or</c><00:17:54.960><c> one</c><00:17:55.119><c> of</c><00:17:55.220><c> the</c><00:17:55.400><c> lexicons,</c>

00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:57.960
it'll<00:17:56.539><c> say</c><00:17:56.779><c> something</c><00:17:57.160><c> like</c><00:17:57.539><c> that.</c>

00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:02.740
Usually<00:17:58.640><c> with</c><00:17:58.859><c> the</c><00:17:59.059><c> idea</c><00:17:59.559><c> of</c><00:18:00.599><c> undeserved</c><00:18:01.299><c> or</c><00:18:01.579><c> unmerited.</c>

00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:05.920
It's<00:18:03.500><c> kindness</c><00:18:04.059><c> that</c><00:18:04.359><c> you</c><00:18:04.539><c> don't</c><00:18:04.859><c> deserve.</c>

00:18:06.380 --> 00:18:09.240
It's<00:18:06.799><c> favor</c><00:18:07.339><c> that</c><00:18:07.740><c> you</c><00:18:07.980><c> don't</c><00:18:08.319><c> earn.</c>

00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:12.700
It's<00:18:10.339><c> not</c><00:18:10.500><c> something</c><00:18:10.720><c> you</c><00:18:10.920><c> get</c><00:18:11.119><c> by</c><00:18:11.380><c> brownie</c><00:18:11.819><c> points.</c>

00:18:13.500 --> 00:18:18.880
It<00:18:13.720><c> is</c><00:18:13.980><c> something</c><00:18:14.299><c> that</c><00:18:14.619><c> in</c><00:18:14.900><c> fact</c><00:18:15.299><c> is</c><00:18:16.779><c> an</c><00:18:16.920><c> act</c><00:18:17.119><c> of</c><00:18:17.359><c> divine</c><00:18:17.720><c> kindness</c><00:18:18.359><c> and</c><00:18:18.680><c> love</c>

00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:21.700
because<00:18:19.720><c> God</c><00:18:20.240><c> loves</c><00:18:20.539><c> the</c><00:18:20.799><c> unlovable.</c>

00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.039
Because<00:18:23.240><c> God</c><00:18:23.519><c> is</c><00:18:23.819><c> dealing,</c><00:18:24.160><c> to</c><00:18:24.480><c> start</c><00:18:24.759><c> with,</c><00:18:25.519><c> with</c><00:18:25.779><c> people</c>

00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:33.519
God<00:18:28.779><c> says</c><00:18:29.460><c> in</c><00:18:30.200><c> Romans</c><00:18:30.759><c> through</c><00:18:31.059><c> Paul</c><00:18:31.539><c> that</c><00:18:31.960><c> Christ</c><00:18:32.519><c> died</c><00:18:33.059><c> for</c>

00:18:52.019 --> 00:18:54.960
He<00:18:52.420><c> died</c><00:18:52.960><c> for</c><00:18:53.319><c> the</c><00:18:53.640><c> ungodly.</c>

00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.039
And<00:18:56.700><c> that's</c><00:18:56.940><c> very</c><00:18:57.140><c> important</c><00:18:57.640><c> to</c><00:18:57.920><c> see.</c>

00:18:58.279 --> 00:18:59.940

00:19:06.339 --> 00:19:09.880
And<00:19:06.819><c> meeting</c><00:19:07.559><c> Christ</c><00:19:08.019><c> or</c><00:19:08.220><c> meeting</c><00:19:08.460><c> the</c><00:19:08.740><c> truth,</c><00:19:09.079><c> they</c><00:19:09.400><c> changed.</c>

00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:14.220
We<00:19:12.619><c> were</c><00:19:12.980><c> undeserving.</c>

00:19:14.660 --> 00:19:17.920

00:19:24.819 --> 00:19:29.420
The<00:19:25.039><c> word</c><00:19:25.319><c> abound</c><00:19:25.960><c> is</c><00:19:26.579><c> a</c><00:19:26.779><c> word</c><00:19:26.980><c> that</c><00:19:27.420><c> has</c><00:19:28.019><c> to</c><00:19:28.220><c> do</c><00:19:28.299><c> with</c><00:19:28.559><c> fluids.</c>

00:19:29.900 --> 00:19:34.319

00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:55.039
If<00:19:52.500><c> you</c><00:19:52.680><c> kept</c><00:19:52.880><c> pouring</c><00:19:53.259><c> it</c><00:19:53.740><c> and</c><00:19:54.140><c> then</c><00:19:54.299><c> it</c><00:19:54.500><c> started</c><00:19:54.660><c> to</c><00:19:54.940><c> flow</c>

00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:03.880
So<00:19:58.640><c> God</c><00:19:59.119><c> has</c><00:19:59.440><c> abounded</c><00:19:59.900><c> toward</c><00:20:00.279><c> us</c><00:20:00.539><c> in</c><00:20:00.759><c> all</c><00:20:01.019><c> wisdom</c><00:20:01.539><c> and</c><00:20:02.460><c> prudence.</c>

00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:10.799

00:20:16.420 --> 00:20:19.140

00:20:21.819 --> 00:20:23.259

Let's<00:26:47.960><c> go</c><00:26:48.119><c> back</c><00:26:48.319><c> there</c><00:26:48.440><c> and</c><00:26:48.480><c> take</c><00:26:48.640><c> a</c><00:26:48.759><c> look.</c>

00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:51.440
It<00:26:49.220><c> has</c><00:26:49.420><c> a</c><00:26:49.599><c> point</c><00:26:49.740><c> on</c><00:26:49.859><c> what</c><00:26:49.960><c> we're</c><00:26:50.180><c> talking</c><00:26:50.460><c> about,</c>

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:54.220
about<00:26:52.420><c> calling</c><00:26:52.859><c> those</c><00:26:53.220><c> things</c><00:26:53.420><c> which</c><00:26:53.660><c> be</c><00:26:53.900><c> not</c>

00:26:54.220 --> 00:26:56.000

00:26:56.220 --> 00:26:57.960
Let's<00:26:56.359><c> go</c><00:26:56.519><c> back</c><00:26:56.700><c> to</c><00:26:56.839><c> the</c><00:26:56.960><c> beginning</c><00:26:57.160><c> there</c><00:26:57.339><c> in</c><00:26:57.539><c> Genesis.</c>

00:26:57.960 --> 00:26:59.539
What's<00:26:58.400><c> the</c><00:26:58.539><c> chapter?</c>

00:26:59.700 --> 00:27:02.259
Where<00:26:59.920><c> Abraham's</c><00:27:00.539><c> name</c><00:27:00.799><c> has</c><00:27:01.140><c> changed.</c>

00:27:02.579 --> 00:27:05.480
Thou<00:27:02.720><c> shalt</c><00:27:03.000><c> no</c><00:27:03.339><c> longer</c><00:27:03.700><c> be</c><00:27:04.099><c> called</c><00:27:04.500><c> Abram.</c>

00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:05.920
Where?

00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:09.559
Thank<00:27:07.019><c> you,</c><00:27:07.579><c> 17</c><00:27:08.099><c> of</c><00:27:08.539><c> Genesis.</c>

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:12.559
This<00:27:10.640><c> is</c><00:27:10.759><c> an</c><00:27:10.960><c> important</c><00:27:11.259><c> change.</c>

00:27:14.539 --> 00:27:16.859
Genesis<00:27:14.880><c> chapter</c><00:27:15.299><c> 17.</c>

00:27:22.619 --> 00:27:26.299

00:27:26.299 --> 00:27:27.640
We'll<00:27:26.900><c> respond</c><00:27:27.220><c> to</c><00:27:27.460><c> that.</c>

00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:31.880
Okay,<00:27:28.099><c> do</c><00:27:28.240><c> you</c><00:27:28.259><c> wanna</c><00:27:28.400><c> read</c><00:27:28.619><c> verse</c><00:27:28.920><c> four</c><00:27:29.420><c> to</c><00:27:30.019><c> verse</c><00:27:30.500><c> six</c><00:27:30.900><c> for</c><00:27:31.099><c> me?</c>

00:27:33.019 --> 00:27:38.619
As<00:27:33.279><c> for</c><00:27:33.619><c> me,</c><00:27:34.019><c> behold,</c><00:27:34.619><c> my</c><00:27:34.920><c> covenant</c><00:27:35.960><c> is</c><00:27:37.220><c> with</c><00:27:37.779><c> thee,</c>

00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:42.660
and<00:27:39.140><c> thou</c><00:27:39.480><c> shalt</c><00:27:39.960><c> be</c><00:27:40.380><c> father</c><00:27:40.759><c> of</c><00:27:41.099><c> many</c><00:27:41.440><c> nations.</c>

00:27:42.779 --> 00:27:47.079
Neither<00:27:43.019><c> shalt</c><00:27:43.700><c> be</c><00:27:44.099><c> thy</c><00:27:44.339><c> name</c><00:27:44.640><c> of</c><00:27:44.900><c> any</c><00:27:45.240><c> more</c><00:27:45.480><c> called</c><00:27:45.960><c> Abram,</c>

00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:51.339
but<00:27:48.160><c> thou</c><00:27:48.700><c> shalt</c><00:27:49.420><c> name</c><00:27:49.740><c> be</c><00:27:50.059><c> called</c><00:27:50.380><c> Abraham.</c>

00:27:51.539 --> 00:27:56.079
For<00:27:51.880><c> a</c><00:27:52.539><c> father</c><00:27:52.940><c> of</c><00:27:53.460><c> many</c><00:27:54.200><c> nations</c><00:27:54.720><c> have</c><00:27:55.220><c> I</c><00:27:55.460><c> may</c><00:27:55.740><c> be,</c>

00:27:56.420 --> 00:28:00.900
and<00:27:56.839><c> I</c><00:27:57.099><c> will</c><00:27:57.299><c> be</c><00:27:57.559><c> made</c><00:27:57.920><c> of</c><00:27:58.259><c> the</c><00:27:58.619><c> three</c><00:27:59.119><c> exceeding</c><00:27:59.920><c> faithful,</c>

00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.839
and<00:28:04.619><c> things</c><00:28:04.900><c> shall</c><00:28:05.279><c> come</c><00:28:06.220><c> out</c><00:28:06.640><c> of</c><00:28:06.839><c> thee.</c>

00:28:07.940 --> 00:28:09.759
All<00:28:08.160><c> right,</c><00:28:08.500><c> if</c><00:28:08.660><c> you</c><00:28:08.740><c> look</c><00:28:08.859><c> at</c><00:28:09.000><c> your</c><00:28:09.119><c> Bible</c><00:28:09.440><c> margin,</c>

00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:13.380
you<00:28:09.880><c> can</c><00:28:10.200><c> see</c><00:28:10.400><c> that</c><00:28:10.680><c> Abraham</c><00:28:11.359><c> proper</c><00:28:12.039><c> has</c><00:28:12.779><c> the</c><00:28:13.039><c> idea</c>

00:28:13.380 --> 00:28:16.440
of<00:28:13.779><c> a</c><00:28:14.000><c> multitude,</c><00:28:15.039><c> father</c><00:28:15.500><c> of</c><00:28:15.799><c> a</c><00:28:15.940><c> multitude.</c>

00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:18.519
But<00:28:16.940><c> did</c><00:28:17.079><c> he</c><00:28:17.220><c> have</c><00:28:17.359><c> Isaac</c><00:28:17.680><c> yet?</c>

00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:19.940
No.

00:28:20.059 --> 00:28:23.039
So<00:28:20.299><c> how</c><00:28:20.759><c> could</c><00:28:21.039><c> Abraham</c><00:28:21.519><c> be</c><00:28:21.799><c> called</c><00:28:22.000><c> father</c><00:28:22.380><c> of</c><00:28:22.539><c> a</c><00:28:22.680><c> multitude</c>

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:25.039
before<00:28:23.420><c> he</c><00:28:23.579><c> even</c><00:28:23.740><c> had</c><00:28:23.940><c> a</c><00:28:24.140><c> child?</c>

00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:32.140
He<00:28:28.339><c> had</c><00:28:28.619><c> Ishmael,</c><00:28:29.960><c> but</c><00:28:30.279><c> this</c><00:28:30.519><c> is</c><00:28:30.740><c> not</c><00:28:30.940><c> the</c><00:28:31.279><c> one</c><00:28:31.500><c> through</c><00:28:31.740><c> whom</c><00:28:31.880><c> his,</c>

00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:34.039
did<00:28:32.339><c> he</c><00:28:32.440><c> have</c><00:28:32.539><c> Ishmael?</c>

00:28:35.259 --> 00:28:37.500
Chapter<00:28:35.680><c> 16,</c><00:28:36.259><c> wanna</c><00:28:36.400><c> go</c><00:28:36.579><c> there?</c>

00:28:38.539 --> 00:28:40.339
Verse<00:28:38.740><c> 11,</c><00:28:39.920><c> right?</c>

00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:43.440
He<00:28:40.660><c> had</c><00:28:40.839><c> Ishmael,</c><00:28:42.099><c> but</c><00:28:42.279><c> is</c><00:28:42.720><c> Ishmael</c><00:28:43.140><c> the</c><00:28:43.299><c> one</c>

00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:45.380
through<00:28:43.680><c> whom</c><00:28:43.819><c> the</c><00:28:44.059><c> seed</c><00:28:44.180><c> was</c><00:28:44.440><c> gonna</c><00:28:44.579><c> come?</c>

00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:46.200
No.

00:28:46.619 --> 00:28:48.660
And<00:28:46.759><c> even</c><00:28:46.859><c> if</c><00:28:46.940><c> he</c><00:28:47.079><c> had</c><00:28:47.279><c> one</c><00:28:47.579><c> child</c><00:28:47.980><c> through</c><00:28:48.180><c> whom</c><00:28:48.299><c> the</c><00:28:48.519><c> seed</c>

00:28:48.660 --> 00:28:50.799
was<00:28:48.799><c> not</c><00:28:49.000><c> going</c><00:28:49.259><c> to</c><00:28:49.500><c> come,</c><00:28:49.960><c> even</c><00:28:50.079><c> if</c><00:28:50.160><c> he</c><00:28:50.200><c> had</c><00:28:50.359><c> one</c><00:28:50.640><c> child,</c>

00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:51.960
was<00:28:50.940><c> he</c><00:28:51.099><c> the</c><00:28:51.240><c> father</c><00:28:51.359><c> of</c><00:28:51.500><c> a</c><00:28:51.599><c> multitude?</c>

00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:53.539
No,<00:28:52.920><c> he</c><00:28:53.019><c> wasn't.</c>

00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:54.599
He's<00:28:53.920><c> promised</c><00:28:54.259><c> to</c><00:28:54.500><c> be.</c>

00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:56.779
He's<00:28:55.119><c> promised</c><00:28:55.339><c> to</c><00:28:55.559><c> be</c><00:28:55.759><c> a</c><00:28:55.960><c> father</c><00:28:56.160><c> of</c><00:28:56.319><c> a</c><00:28:56.440><c> multitude.</c>

00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:59.039
In<00:28:56.980><c> other</c><00:28:57.119><c> words,</c><00:28:57.359><c> God</c><00:28:57.579><c> says</c><00:28:57.880><c> things</c>

00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:01.079
as<00:28:59.440><c> though</c><00:28:59.619><c> they're</c><00:28:59.859><c> as</c><00:28:59.980><c> good</c><00:29:00.119><c> as</c><00:29:00.359><c> done,</c><00:29:00.859><c> thanks.</c>

00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:03.039
As<00:29:01.599><c> good</c><00:29:01.920><c> as</c><00:29:02.240><c> done.</c>

00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:05.160
That's<00:29:03.960><c> the</c><00:29:04.220><c> point.</c>

00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:10.160
We<00:29:05.460><c> are</c><00:29:06.339><c> described</c><00:29:07.079><c> as</c><00:29:08.200><c> have</c><00:29:08.720><c> obtained,</c>

00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:12.539
have<00:29:10.720><c> obtained</c><00:29:11.200><c> an</c><00:29:11.480><c> inheritance.</c>

00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:16.900
Abraham<00:29:14.640><c> was</c><00:29:15.119><c> not</c><00:29:15.619><c> a</c><00:29:15.880><c> father</c><00:29:16.079><c> of</c><00:29:16.259><c> a</c><00:29:16.380><c> multitude.</c>

00:29:16.900 --> 00:29:19.640
He<00:29:17.559><c> had</c><00:29:17.920><c> not</c><00:29:18.539><c> a</c><00:29:18.720><c> multitude</c><00:29:19.099><c> of</c><00:29:19.359><c> children,</c>

00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:21.359
even<00:29:19.940><c> if</c><00:29:20.059><c> he</c><00:29:20.140><c> had</c><00:29:20.279><c> Ishmael.</c>

00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.160
God<00:29:23.119><c> calls</c><00:29:23.480><c> those</c><00:29:23.799><c> things</c><00:29:24.039><c> which</c><00:29:24.299><c> be</c><00:29:24.519><c> not</c><00:29:24.759><c> as</c><00:29:25.000><c> though</c><00:29:25.160><c> they</c><00:29:25.339><c> were.</c>

00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:28.240
Now<00:29:26.940><c> just</c><00:29:27.079><c> go</c><00:29:27.259><c> to</c><00:29:27.420><c> Romans.</c>

00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:35.059
It's<00:29:30.519><c> stressing</c><00:29:30.920><c> the</c><00:29:31.240><c> sureness</c><00:29:32.200><c> before</c><00:29:33.720><c> the</c><00:29:34.059><c> reality.</c>

00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:44.440
Why<00:29:37.599><c> don't</c><00:29:37.599><c> you</c><00:29:37.740><c> take</c><00:29:37.940><c> a</c><00:29:38.079><c> look</c><00:29:38.759><c> at</c><00:29:40.119><c> Romans</c><00:29:42.160><c> chapter</c><00:29:43.240><c> four.</c>

00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:50.859
This<00:29:48.980><c> is</c><00:29:49.240><c> the</c><00:29:49.339><c> very</c><00:29:49.640><c> point</c><00:29:49.920><c> that</c><00:29:50.160><c> Paul</c><00:29:50.359><c> makes</c>

00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:54.539

father<00:29:55.160><c> of</c><00:29:55.319><c> the</c><00:29:55.519><c> faithful.</c>

00:29:57.259 --> 00:30:00.700

00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:10.599
Therefore<00:30:06.599><c> it</c><00:30:06.900><c> is</c><00:30:07.160><c> of</c><00:30:07.460><c> faith</c><00:30:07.920><c> that</c><00:30:09.039><c> it</c><00:30:09.259><c> might</c><00:30:09.460><c> be</c><00:30:09.680><c> by</c><00:30:09.980><c> grace.</c>

00:32:15.579 --> 00:32:18.680
First,<00:32:15.940><c> we're</c><00:32:16.099><c> elected</c><00:32:16.500><c> or</c><00:32:16.900><c> called</c><00:32:17.319><c> by</c><00:32:17.680><c> God.</c>

00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:20.480
Next,<00:32:19.200><c> we're</c><00:32:19.440><c> adopted.</c>

00:32:20.539 --> 00:32:21.779

00:32:24.220 --> 00:32:27.680
Then<00:32:24.799><c> we</c><00:32:25.380><c> receive</c><00:32:25.960><c> revelation</c><00:32:26.779><c> through</c><00:32:27.140><c> the</c><00:32:27.319><c> Bible</c>

that<00:32:52.819><c> Jews</c><00:32:53.240><c> and</c><00:32:53.900><c> Gentiles</c><00:32:54.759><c> are</c><00:32:55.400><c> included.</c>

00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:00.220
Finally,<00:32:58.759><c> there</c><00:32:58.900><c> is</c><00:32:59.119><c> assurance.</c>

00:33:00.980 --> 00:33:02.880
How<00:33:01.319><c> can</c><00:33:01.519><c> we</c><00:33:01.680><c> be</c><00:33:02.019><c> sure?</c>

00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:06.380
How<00:33:04.119><c> can</c><00:33:04.359><c> you</c><00:33:04.519><c> and</c><00:33:04.680><c> I</c><00:33:04.819><c> be</c><00:33:05.079><c> sure</c><00:33:05.259><c> that</c><00:33:05.420><c> this</c><00:33:05.660><c> stuff</c><00:33:05.819><c> is</c><00:33:06.079><c> real?</c>

00:33:06.660 --> 00:33:08.200
I<00:33:06.740><c> mean,</c><00:33:06.920><c> it</c><00:33:07.079><c> sounds</c><00:33:07.279><c> like</c><00:33:07.599><c> fairy</c><00:33:07.920><c> tales,</c>

00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:10.539
perhaps<00:33:08.640><c> at</c><00:33:08.920><c> times</c><00:33:09.119><c> to</c><00:33:09.339><c> some</c><00:33:09.480><c> of</c><00:33:09.599><c> us.</c>

00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:13.579
What's<00:33:11.339><c> the</c><00:33:11.599><c> assurance</c><00:33:12.160><c> that</c><00:33:12.680><c> this</c><00:33:12.920><c> is</c><00:33:13.220><c> real</c>

00:33:13.579 --> 00:33:18.359
and<00:33:14.160><c> that</c><00:33:14.299><c> it's</c><00:33:14.579><c> worth</c><00:33:15.160><c> living</c><00:33:15.519><c> for</c><00:33:16.119><c> and</c><00:33:16.700><c> it's</c><00:33:17.019><c> worth</c><00:33:17.259><c> changing?</c>

00:33:18.740 --> 00:33:20.940
Remember<00:33:18.900><c> the</c><00:33:19.140><c> Ephesians</c><00:33:19.519><c> who</c><00:33:19.759><c> burned</c><00:33:19.900><c> their</c><00:33:20.099><c> books?</c>

00:33:21.539 --> 00:33:23.799
They<00:33:21.779><c> must</c><00:33:22.000><c> have</c><00:33:22.119><c> said,</c><00:33:22.440><c> what's</c><00:33:22.539><c> in</c><00:33:22.619><c> it</c><00:33:22.700><c> for</c><00:33:22.839><c> me?</c>

00:33:24.380 --> 00:33:26.700
They<00:33:24.660><c> must</c><00:33:24.880><c> have</c><00:33:25.019><c> said</c><00:33:25.160><c> to</c><00:33:25.299><c> themselves,</c><00:33:25.640><c> why</c><00:33:25.900><c> would</c><00:33:26.019><c> I</c><00:33:26.200><c> do</c><00:33:26.400><c> this?</c>

00:33:26.819 --> 00:33:28.740
Why<00:33:26.980><c> would</c><00:33:27.099><c> I</c><00:33:27.259><c> get</c><00:33:27.359><c> rid</c><00:33:27.519><c> of</c><00:33:27.660><c> my</c><00:33:27.880><c> treasures?</c>

00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:31.000
Why<00:33:29.539><c> would</c><00:33:29.640><c> I</c><00:33:29.839><c> go</c><00:33:29.940><c> outside</c><00:33:30.359><c> of</c><00:33:30.660><c> Ephesus</c>

00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:33.619
and<00:33:31.180><c> make</c><00:33:31.279><c> a</c><00:33:31.559><c> bonfire</c><00:33:32.039><c> of</c><00:33:32.339><c> precious</c><00:33:32.680><c> books?</c>

00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:36.839
The<00:33:34.380><c> worth</c><00:33:34.579><c> is</c><00:33:34.859><c> given</c><00:33:35.000><c> in</c><00:33:35.319><c> silver,</c><00:33:35.559><c> as</c><00:33:35.759><c> we've</c><00:33:36.039><c> said.</c>

00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:40.359
People<00:33:37.140><c> don't</c><00:33:37.440><c> do</c><00:33:37.700><c> that</c><00:33:38.500><c> unless</c><00:33:39.779><c> they're</c><00:33:40.160><c> sure</c>

00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:43.279
they're<00:33:41.000><c> something,</c><00:33:41.940><c> some</c><00:33:42.180><c> reason.</c>

00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:48.480
The<00:33:44.839><c> assurance</c><00:33:45.259><c> is</c><00:33:45.880><c> that</c><00:33:46.339><c> Jesus</c><00:33:46.740><c> has</c><00:33:47.039><c> been</c><00:33:47.299><c> raised.</c>

00:33:48.700 --> 00:33:52.579
And<00:33:48.940><c> secondly,</c><00:33:49.740><c> that</c><00:33:49.940><c> Jesus</c><00:33:50.299><c> is</c><00:33:50.619><c> now</c><00:33:51.039><c> in</c><00:33:51.380><c> the</c><00:33:51.539><c> heavenlies.</c>

00:33:54.539 --> 00:33:57.240
So<00:33:55.079><c> when</c><00:33:55.519><c> you</c><00:33:55.640><c> look</c><00:33:55.759><c> at</c><00:33:55.900><c> those</c><00:33:56.140><c> blessings,</c>

00:33:57.660 --> 00:33:59.279
you<00:33:58.039><c> can</c><00:33:58.279><c> sort</c><00:33:58.440><c> of</c><00:33:58.579><c> put</c><00:33:58.640><c> them</c><00:33:58.839><c> together</c>

00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:02.960
and<00:33:59.579><c> it</c><00:33:59.900><c> actually</c><00:34:00.119><c> fits</c><00:34:00.440><c> into</c><00:34:01.640><c> a</c><00:34:02.160><c> grouping.</c>

00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:08.460
The<00:34:03.420><c> process,</c><00:34:05.400><c> the</c><00:34:05.579><c> people,</c><00:34:07.079><c> and</c><00:34:07.200><c> the</c><00:34:07.460><c> assurance.</c>

00:34:08.500 --> 00:34:10.079
Jesus<00:34:08.860><c> is</c><00:34:09.119><c> raised</c><00:34:09.380><c> from</c><00:34:09.599><c> the</c><00:34:09.820><c> dead.</c>

00:34:10.340 --> 00:34:12.500
That's<00:34:10.699><c> how</c><00:34:10.920><c> you</c><00:34:11.039><c> know</c><00:34:11.300><c> it's</c><00:34:11.719><c> true.</c>

00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:14.820
And<00:34:13.000><c> Jesus</c><00:34:13.460><c> is</c><00:34:13.780><c> now</c><00:34:13.960><c> in</c><00:34:14.099><c> the</c><00:34:14.260><c> heavenlies.</c>

00:34:15.099 --> 00:34:17.659
And<00:34:15.320><c> that's</c><00:34:15.519><c> how</c><00:34:15.699><c> you</c><00:34:15.980><c> know</c><00:34:16.519><c> that</c><00:34:17.039><c> you</c><00:34:17.219><c> one</c><00:34:17.400><c> day,</c>

00:34:17.699 --> 00:34:20.099
hopefully,<00:34:18.119><c> will</c><00:34:18.280><c> have</c><00:34:18.480><c> those</c><00:34:18.760><c> blessings</c><00:34:19.119><c> too.</c>

00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:22.179
Let's<00:34:20.940><c> turn</c><00:34:21.119><c> to</c><00:34:21.260><c> Ephesians</c><00:34:21.679><c> again.</c>

00:34:22.619 --> 00:34:23.880
Open<00:34:22.780><c> our</c><00:34:23.000><c> Bibles.</c>

00:34:25.380 --> 00:34:29.960
Let<00:34:25.639><c> me</c><00:34:25.760><c> show</c><00:34:25.920><c> you</c><00:34:26.079><c> some</c><00:34:26.260><c> of</c><00:34:26.440><c> that</c><00:34:27.019><c> in</c><00:34:27.920><c> terms</c><00:34:28.199><c> of</c><00:34:28.360><c> the</c><00:34:28.619><c> bottom</c><00:34:28.900><c> points.</c>

00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:38.579
Okay,<00:34:37.320><c> Ephesians.</c>

00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:50.480
Chapter<00:34:46.480><c> two,</c><00:34:48.139><c> Ephesians</c><00:34:48.619><c> chapter</c><00:34:49.059><c> two.</c>

00:34:56.300 --> 00:34:58.659
And<00:34:57.059><c> if</c><00:34:57.219><c> we</c><00:34:57.320><c> go</c><00:34:57.440><c> to</c><00:34:57.559><c> Ephesians</c><00:34:57.940><c> chapter</c><00:34:58.320><c> two,</c>

00:34:58.699 --> 00:35:01.780
I<00:34:58.780><c> want</c><00:34:58.880><c> you</c><00:34:59.000><c> to</c><00:34:59.079><c> go</c><00:34:59.260><c> down</c><00:34:59.739><c> to</c><00:35:00.119><c> verse</c><00:35:00.380><c> four.</c>

00:35:04.260 --> 00:35:08.420
But<00:35:04.820><c> God,</c><00:35:05.579><c> who</c><00:35:05.800><c> is</c><00:35:06.079><c> rich</c><00:35:06.360><c> in</c><00:35:06.599><c> mercy</c><00:35:07.119><c> for</c><00:35:07.659><c> his</c><00:35:07.920><c> great</c><00:35:08.139><c> love</c>

00:35:08.420 --> 00:35:11.820
wherewith<00:35:08.820><c> he</c><00:35:09.059><c> loved</c><00:35:09.219><c> us,</c><00:35:10.420><c> even</c><00:35:10.639><c> when</c><00:35:10.860><c> we</c><00:35:11.039><c> were</c><00:35:11.400><c> dead.</c>

00:35:12.099 --> 00:35:14.099
Notice,<00:35:12.639><c> here</c><00:35:12.800><c> we</c><00:35:12.980><c> go.</c>

00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:16.440
This<00:35:14.699><c> is</c><00:35:14.880><c> the</c><00:35:14.980><c> idea</c><00:35:15.179><c> of</c><00:35:15.420><c> grace.</c>

00:35:16.460 --> 00:35:18.599
Favor<00:35:16.900><c> before</c><00:35:17.280><c> we</c><00:35:17.519><c> deserve</c><00:35:17.800><c> it.</c>

00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:21.300
Even<00:35:19.460><c> when</c><00:35:19.739><c> we</c><00:35:19.960><c> were</c><00:35:20.280><c> dead</c><00:35:20.480><c> in</c><00:35:20.860><c> sins,</c>

00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:23.659
hath<00:35:21.780><c> quickened</c><00:35:22.260><c> us</c><00:35:22.500><c> or</c><00:35:22.780><c> made</c><00:35:22.900><c> us</c><00:35:23.179><c> alive</c>

00:35:23.659 --> 00:35:27.019
together<00:35:24.239><c> with</c><00:35:24.519><c> Christ</c><00:35:25.019><c> by</c><00:35:25.460><c> grace,</c><00:35:25.860><c> you</c><00:35:25.920><c> are</c><00:35:26.139><c> saved.</c>

00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:30.079
And<00:35:27.340><c> hath</c><00:35:27.579><c> raised</c><00:35:28.239><c> us</c><00:35:29.119><c> up</c><00:35:29.440><c> together</c>

00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:36.369

00:35:37.579 --> 00:35:39.099
That<00:35:37.679><c> in</c><00:35:37.920><c> the</c><00:35:38.079><c> ages</c><00:35:38.280><c> to</c><00:35:38.659><c> come,</c>

00:35:39.460 --> 00:35:42.340
he<00:35:39.659><c> might</c><00:35:40.000><c> show</c><00:35:40.420><c> the</c><00:35:40.639><c> exceeding</c><00:35:41.159><c> riches</c><00:35:41.400><c> of</c><00:35:41.599><c> his</c><00:35:41.820><c> grace</c>

00:35:42.340 --> 00:35:46.179
in<00:35:42.960><c> his</c><00:35:43.320><c> kindness</c><00:35:43.739><c> toward</c><00:35:44.239><c> us</c><00:35:44.780><c> through</c><00:35:45.159><c> Christ</c><00:35:45.559><c> Jesus.</c>

00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:49.739
For<00:35:46.719><c> by</c><00:35:47.199><c> grace</c><00:35:47.900><c> are</c><00:35:48.300><c> ye</c><00:35:48.480><c> saved</c><00:35:48.900><c> through</c><00:35:49.260><c> faith.</c>

00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:54.159
And<00:35:50.380><c> that,</c><00:35:50.900><c> not</c><00:35:51.059><c> of</c><00:35:51.179><c> yourselves,</c><00:35:52.179><c> it</c><00:35:52.380><c> is</c><00:35:52.579><c> the</c><00:35:52.719><c> gift</c><00:35:53.000><c> of</c><00:35:53.260><c> God.</c>

00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:55.980
Now,<00:35:55.260><c> what's</c><00:35:55.500><c> he</c><00:35:55.679><c> mean?</c>

00:35:55.980 --> 00:35:57.780
Hath<00:35:56.500><c> raised</c><00:35:56.860><c> us</c><00:35:57.159><c> up</c><00:35:57.380><c> together</c>

00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:07.940
In<00:36:04.440><c> what</c><00:36:04.739><c> sense</c><00:36:05.340><c> do</c><00:36:06.300><c> we</c><00:36:06.519><c> sit</c><00:36:06.840><c> in</c><00:36:07.199><c> heavenly</c><00:36:07.559><c> places?</c>

00:36:08.019 --> 00:36:10.880
I<00:36:08.159><c> thought</c><00:36:08.599><c> we</c><00:36:09.619><c> don't</c><00:36:09.739><c> go</c><00:36:09.900><c> to</c><00:36:10.000><c> heaven.</c>

00:36:13.179 --> 00:36:17.139

00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:24.159
Sometimes,<00:36:22.780><c> sometimes</c><00:36:23.179><c> not.</c>

00:36:25.300 --> 00:36:26.539
Okay,<00:36:25.900><c> that's</c><00:36:26.159><c> a</c><00:36:26.280><c> start.</c>

00:36:26.679 --> 00:36:27.900
Any<00:36:26.780><c> other</c><00:36:27.000><c> ideas?</c>

00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:30.239
He<00:36:29.000><c> has</c><00:36:29.219><c> made</c><00:36:29.340><c> us</c><00:36:29.619><c> sit</c><00:36:29.820><c> together</c>

00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:34.679

00:36:53.300 --> 00:36:56.440
Does<00:36:53.300><c> he</c><00:36:53.800><c> say</c><00:36:53.960><c> we</c><00:36:54.159><c> will</c><00:36:54.420><c> be</c><00:36:54.619><c> raised</c><00:36:54.920><c> in</c><00:36:55.099><c> heavenly</c><00:36:55.340><c> places?</c>

00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:57.420
Present.

00:36:59.139 --> 00:37:00.760
Are<00:36:59.260><c> we</c><00:36:59.480><c> in</c><00:36:59.619><c> heaven</c><00:36:59.739><c> now?</c>

00:37:01.659 --> 00:37:03.139
No,<00:37:02.400><c> man.</c>

00:37:03.739 --> 00:37:05.039
This<00:37:03.900><c> is</c><00:37:04.099><c> not</c><00:37:04.280><c> heaven.</c>

00:37:06.179 --> 00:37:06.940
Yes.

00:37:07.940 --> 00:37:09.119
Past<00:37:08.239><c> tense.</c>

00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:13.500
So<00:37:09.300><c> if</c><00:37:09.420><c> it's</c><00:37:09.719><c> past</c><00:37:10.039><c> tense,</c><00:37:10.840><c> hath,</c><00:37:11.820><c> then</c><00:37:11.960><c> we're</c><00:37:12.159><c> already</c><00:37:12.480><c> there.</c>

00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:17.099
Okay,<00:37:15.420><c> but</c><00:37:15.619><c> we're</c><00:37:15.800><c> already</c><00:37:16.099><c> there.</c>

00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:18.639
So<00:37:17.780><c> how</c><00:37:18.000><c> are</c><00:37:18.179><c> we</c><00:37:18.340><c> there?</c>

00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:21.800
Let's<00:37:20.880><c> say</c><00:37:21.019><c> you're</c><00:37:21.179><c> not</c><00:37:21.380><c> baptized,</c>

00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:22.820
we're<00:37:22.059><c> talking</c><00:37:22.360><c> about</c><00:37:22.579><c> others.</c>

00:37:22.820 --> 00:37:24.739
How<00:37:22.820><c> is</c><00:37:22.820><c> anybody</c><00:37:23.800><c> there?</c>

00:37:25.460 --> 00:37:28.340
How<00:37:25.619><c> could</c><00:37:25.820><c> it</c><00:37:25.960><c> be</c><00:37:26.199><c> said,</c><00:37:26.800><c> he</c><00:37:26.960><c> hath</c><00:37:27.420><c> raised</c><00:37:27.840><c> us</c><00:37:28.179><c> up?</c>

00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:30.019
Have<00:37:28.480><c> you</c><00:37:28.599><c> been</c><00:37:28.820><c> resurrected</c><00:37:29.139><c> yet?</c>

00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:32.079
Have<00:37:30.400><c> I</c><00:37:30.579><c> been</c><00:37:30.800><c> resurrected</c><00:37:31.159><c> yet?</c>

00:37:32.860 --> 00:37:34.400
Have<00:37:33.019><c> any</c><00:37:33.199><c> of</c><00:37:33.340><c> the</c><00:37:33.440><c> believers</c><00:37:33.619><c> been</c><00:37:33.940><c> resurrected</c>

00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:35.840

00:37:36.900 --> 00:37:38.659
You're<00:37:37.219><c> baptism,</c><00:37:37.579><c> yes,</c><00:37:37.880><c> and</c><00:37:38.059><c> that</c><00:37:38.199><c> limit</c><00:37:38.420><c> is?</c>

00:37:38.699 --> 00:37:41.159
In<00:37:38.699><c> this</c><00:37:39.099><c> present</c><00:37:39.480><c> tense,</c><00:37:40.079><c> it</c><00:37:40.139><c> could</c><00:37:40.179><c> be</c><00:37:40.380><c> you're</c><00:37:40.599><c> a</c><00:37:40.739><c> baptism.</c>

00:37:41.639 --> 00:37:42.159
Ah.

00:37:42.179 --> 00:37:44.099
You<00:37:42.460><c> died</c><00:37:42.820><c> with</c><00:37:43.079><c> Christ,</c><00:37:43.559><c> and</c><00:37:43.679><c> therefore,</c>

00:37:44.500 --> 00:37:45.619
you're<00:37:44.760><c> resurrected</c><00:37:45.119><c> in</c><00:37:45.320><c> Christ,</c>

00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:47.579
and<00:37:45.820><c> that's</c><00:37:46.139><c> how</c><00:37:46.139><c> you</c><00:37:46.320><c> sit</c><00:37:46.480><c> up</c><00:37:46.659><c> in</c><00:37:46.920><c> heavenly</c><00:37:47.260><c> places.</c>

00:37:47.860 --> 00:37:49.340
Right,<00:37:48.239><c> it's</c><00:37:48.519><c> gotta</c><00:37:48.659><c> be</c><00:37:48.900><c> that.</c>

00:37:49.820 --> 00:37:51.119
Because<00:37:50.119><c> it's</c><00:37:50.539><c> past</c><00:37:50.780><c> tense,</c>

00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:54.039
it's<00:37:51.119><c> already</c><00:37:51.659><c> something</c><00:37:52.039><c> that's</c><00:37:52.300><c> been</c><00:37:52.559><c> done</c><00:37:52.760><c> in</c><00:37:53.000><c> some</c><00:37:53.239><c> way.</c>

00:37:54.260 --> 00:37:57.079
He<00:37:54.619><c> hath</c><00:37:55.360><c> raised</c><00:37:55.820><c> us</c><00:37:56.219><c> up</c><00:37:56.539><c> together</c>

00:37:57.079 --> 00:38:00.340
to<00:37:57.780><c> sit</c><00:37:58.119><c> in</c><00:37:58.519><c> heavenly</c><00:37:58.860><c> places</c><00:37:59.400><c> in</c><00:37:59.679><c> Christ</c><00:37:59.980><c> Jesus.</c>

00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:02.820
The<00:38:00.960><c> only</c><00:38:01.300><c> resurrection</c><00:38:01.880><c> you</c><00:38:02.059><c> can</c><00:38:02.199><c> go</c><00:38:02.440><c> through</c><00:38:02.559><c> now</c>

00:38:02.820 --> 00:38:04.119
is<00:38:02.980><c> through</c><00:38:03.159><c> baptism.</c>

00:38:04.300 --> 00:38:05.679
So<00:38:04.460><c> it's</c><00:38:04.739><c> figurative.</c>

00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:09.159
In<00:38:06.179><c> verse</c><00:38:06.599><c> four</c><00:38:07.019><c> it</c><00:38:07.320><c> says,</c><00:38:08.119><c> we</c><00:38:08.260><c> weren't</c><00:38:08.460><c> dead.</c>

00:38:09.579 --> 00:38:11.739
Yes,<00:38:10.400><c> we</c><00:38:10.480><c> weren't</c><00:38:10.639><c> literally</c><00:38:10.980><c> dead,</c><00:38:11.360><c> were</c><00:38:11.440><c> we?</c>

00:38:11.900 --> 00:38:14.800
Right,<00:38:12.780><c> we</c><00:38:12.900><c> weren't</c><00:38:13.480><c> dead,</c><00:38:14.239><c> we</c><00:38:14.280><c> weren't</c><00:38:14.699><c> dead.</c>

00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:17.900
Right,<00:38:15.960><c> so</c><00:38:15.980><c> he's</c><00:38:16.320><c> thinking</c><00:38:16.559><c> of</c><00:38:16.760><c> baptism,</c><00:38:17.360><c> for</c><00:38:17.579><c> sure.</c>

00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:19.119
Good<00:38:18.260><c> point.</c>

00:38:19.139 --> 00:38:23.019
We<00:38:19.400><c> were</c><00:38:19.699><c> dead,</c><00:38:20.059><c> not</c><00:38:20.219><c> literally,</c><00:38:21.159><c> we</c><00:38:21.239><c> were</c><00:38:21.480><c> dead</c><00:38:21.940><c> spiritually.</c>

00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:27.179
We<00:38:23.579><c> were</c><00:38:23.900><c> dead,</c><00:38:25.039><c> obviously,</c><00:38:25.539><c> in</c><00:38:25.719><c> the</c><00:38:25.860><c> sense</c><00:38:26.059><c> of</c><00:38:26.219><c> being</c><00:38:26.380><c> in</c><00:38:26.539><c> our</c><00:38:26.800><c> sins,</c>

00:38:27.380 --> 00:38:30.960
and<00:38:27.500><c> now</c><00:38:27.760><c> we've</c><00:38:28.000><c> been</c><00:38:28.139><c> made</c><00:38:28.340><c> alive</c><00:38:28.860><c> in</c><00:38:29.360><c> a</c><00:38:29.579><c> certain</c><00:38:29.840><c> special</c><00:38:30.460><c> sense</c>

00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:33.880
by<00:38:31.599><c> coming</c><00:38:31.880><c> up</c><00:38:32.119><c> out</c><00:38:32.199><c> of</c><00:38:32.280><c> the</c><00:38:32.440><c> waters</c><00:38:32.679><c> of</c><00:38:32.940><c> baptism.</c>

00:38:34.019 --> 00:38:37.980
So<00:38:34.219><c> now,</c><00:38:34.840><c> now</c><00:38:35.519><c> there's</c><00:38:35.980><c> a</c><00:38:36.239><c> sense,</c><00:38:36.699><c> now</c><00:38:37.119><c> there's</c><00:38:37.440><c> a</c><00:38:37.639><c> sense</c>

00:38:37.980 --> 00:38:41.940
in<00:38:38.480><c> which</c><00:38:38.679><c> we</c><00:38:38.900><c> have</c><00:38:39.099><c> certain</c><00:38:39.920><c> heavenly</c><00:38:40.940><c> blessings.</c>

00:38:42.820 --> 00:38:45.820
