00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.440
This<00:12:43.759><c> says</c><00:12:44.120><c> we</c><00:12:44.299><c> need</c><00:12:44.539><c> to</c><00:12:44.740><c> love</c><00:12:44.899><c> one</c><00:12:45.120><c> another</c><00:12:45.379><c> as</c><00:12:45.720><c> he</c><00:12:45.940><c> gave</c><00:12:46.159><c> us</c>

00:50:28.260 --> 00:50:34.110

00:50:34.110 --> 00:50:35.949
down<00:50:34.309><c> to</c><00:50:34.630><c> essentially</c><00:50:35.070><c> three</c>

00:50:35.949 --> 00:50:42.449

00:50:46.989 --> 00:50:50.530
And<00:50:47.489><c> very</c><00:50:47.789><c> simply,</c><00:50:48.329><c> that's</c><00:50:49.329><c> one</c><00:50:49.750><c> quote</c><00:50:49.909><c> we've</c><00:50:50.130><c> got</c><00:50:50.210><c> up</c><00:50:50.349><c> there,</c>

00:50:50.590 --> 00:50:52.789
Galatians<00:50:50.969><c> chapter</c><00:50:51.230><c> three</c><00:50:51.710><c> and</c><00:50:51.929><c> verse</c><00:50:52.110><c> six.</c>

00:50:52.789 --> 00:50:57.630
Abraham<00:50:53.929><c> believed</c><00:50:54.349><c> God</c><00:50:54.730><c> and</c><00:50:55.309><c> was</c><00:50:55.530><c> accounted</c><00:50:55.869><c> to</c><00:50:56.010><c> him</c><00:50:56.329><c> for</c><00:50:56.630><c> righteousness.</c><00:50:57.510><c> So</c>

00:50:57.630 --> 00:50:58.250
remember,<00:50:57.789><c> we</c><00:50:57.949><c> talked</c><00:50:58.110><c> about</c>

00:50:58.250 --> 00:51:01.650
this<00:50:58.570><c> idea</c><00:50:58.869><c> of</c><00:50:59.670><c> accounting</c><00:51:00.010><c> things</c><00:51:00.429><c> to</c><00:51:00.630><c> people,</c><00:51:01.230><c> accounting</c>

for<00:51:02.269><c> righteousness.</c><00:51:03.510><c> The</c><00:51:03.710><c> equivalent</c>

of<00:51:04.210><c> imputing</c><00:51:04.550><c> righteousness</c><00:51:05.250><c> is</c><00:51:05.670><c> essentially</c><00:51:06.130><c> forgiving</c><00:51:06.510><c> sins.</c><00:51:07.929><c> And</c><00:51:08.289><c> what</c><00:51:08.409><c> was</c><00:51:08.510><c> that</c><00:51:08.730><c> based</c><00:51:08.929><c> on?</c><00:51:09.190><c> It</c>

00:51:09.269 --> 00:51:10.449
was<00:51:09.469><c> based</c><00:51:09.849><c> on</c>

00:51:10.449 --> 00:51:13.269
Abraham<00:51:11.030><c> believing</c><00:51:11.570><c> God.</c><00:51:11.829><c> It</c><00:51:11.889><c> was</c><00:51:12.010><c> based</c><00:51:12.269><c> on</c><00:51:12.469><c> Abraham</c><00:51:12.949><c> having</c>

00:51:13.269 --> 00:51:14.849

00:51:15.809 --> 00:51:18.050
So<00:51:16.170><c> that's</c><00:51:16.429><c> the</c><00:51:16.590><c> first</c><00:51:16.769><c> principle</c><00:51:17.090><c> of</c><00:51:17.369><c> forgiveness.</c><00:51:17.730><c> We</c><00:51:17.869><c> need</c>

to<00:51:18.289><c> believe</c><00:51:18.809><c> that</c><00:51:19.190><c> God</c><00:51:19.510><c> has</c><00:51:19.949><c> forgiven</c><00:51:20.170><c> us.</c>

00:51:22.949 --> 00:51:27.989
The<00:51:23.449><c> second</c><00:51:23.690><c> principle</c><00:51:24.230><c> is</c><00:51:25.250><c> repentance.</c><00:51:27.250><c> And</c><00:51:27.469><c> repentance</c><00:51:27.750><c> is</c>

00:51:33.630 --> 00:51:35.789
the<00:51:33.730><c> question</c><00:51:33.949><c> is,</c><00:51:34.130><c> what</c><00:51:34.309><c> do</c><00:51:34.409><c> we</c><00:51:34.510><c> have</c><00:51:34.630><c> to</c><00:51:34.889><c> change?</c>

00:51:36.070 --> 00:51:40.349
And<00:51:36.289><c> repentance</c><00:51:36.650><c> really</c><00:51:36.949><c> covers</c><00:51:37.250><c> that</c><00:51:37.570><c> whole</c><00:51:37.889><c> process</c><00:51:38.349><c> of</c><00:51:38.630><c> recognizing</c><00:51:39.190><c> sin,</c><00:51:40.190><c> of</c>

00:51:40.349 --> 00:51:42.210
seeking<00:51:40.869><c> forgiveness</c><00:51:41.590><c> from</c><00:51:41.849><c> God</c>

00:51:42.210 --> 00:51:45.989
