00:08:53.070 --> 00:08:56.769

00:08:57.190 --> 00:09:00.629

00:12:21.610 --> 00:12:24.029
how<00:12:21.750><c> did</c><00:12:21.889><c> we</c><00:12:22.029><c> agree</c><00:12:22.330><c> to</c><00:12:23.490><c> pronounce</c><00:12:23.690><c> it</c><00:12:23.830><c> yesterday?</c>

00:12:26.830 --> 00:12:29.269
Anyway,<00:12:27.029><c> I'm</c><00:12:27.269><c> still</c><00:12:27.529><c> comfortable</c><00:12:27.889><c> with</c><00:12:28.110><c> Anastasis.</c>

00:12:29.730 --> 00:12:31.370
In<00:12:29.889><c> which</c><00:12:30.070><c> we</c><00:12:30.370><c> have</c><00:12:30.610><c> then,</c>

00:12:42.870 --> 00:12:44.549

00:13:04.490 --> 00:13:07.210

00:13:07.230 --> 00:13:09.090
But<00:13:07.570><c> they</c><00:13:07.789><c> are</c><00:13:08.110><c> enlightened.</c>

00:13:09.330 --> 00:13:11.309

00:13:11.549 --> 00:13:13.509
I<00:13:11.590><c> think</c><00:13:11.789><c> probably</c><00:13:12.309><c> generally</c><00:13:13.049><c> speaking,</c>

00:13:13.909 --> 00:13:16.769

00:13:30.730 --> 00:13:32.490
In<00:13:30.970><c> fact,</c><00:13:31.129><c> I</c><00:13:31.230><c> had</c><00:13:31.370><c> a</c><00:13:31.409><c> very</c><00:13:31.730><c> interesting</c><00:13:32.090><c> question</c>

asked<00:13:32.809><c> in</c><00:13:33.009><c> the</c><00:13:33.210><c> teenage</c><00:13:33.549><c> session</c><00:13:33.870><c> yesterday.</c>

00:13:35.590 --> 00:13:37.750
What<00:13:36.070><c> about</c><00:13:36.509><c> a</c><00:13:36.730><c> young</c><00:13:36.970><c> person</c>

00:13:37.750 --> 00:13:39.350

00:13:42.110 --> 00:13:43.389
And<00:13:42.250><c> I</c><00:13:42.389><c> guess</c><00:13:42.549><c> I</c><00:13:42.690><c> hadn't</c><00:13:42.889><c> thought</c><00:13:43.149><c> of</c><00:13:43.250><c> it</c>

00:13:43.389 --> 00:13:44.669

I<00:13:44.830><c> mean,</c><00:13:44.870><c> I'd</c><00:13:45.090><c> thought</c><00:13:45.190><c> of</c><00:13:45.350><c> the</c><00:13:45.669><c> issue</c><00:13:45.950><c> before,</c>

00:13:46.970 --> 00:13:48.649

00:13:48.730 --> 00:13:50.570
is<00:13:48.889><c> very,</c><00:13:49.190><c> very</c><00:13:49.529><c> appropriate.</c>

00:13:50.809 --> 00:13:53.970
Imagine<00:13:51.289><c> a</c><00:13:51.570><c> person</c><00:13:51.929><c> who,</c><00:13:52.549><c> like</c><00:13:52.769><c> the</c><00:13:53.009><c> Pharisees</c><00:13:53.509><c> down</c><00:13:53.769><c> here,</c>

had<00:13:54.309><c> openly</c><00:13:54.710><c> rejected</c><00:13:55.230><c> Christ.</c>

00:13:56.769 --> 00:13:58.110
They<00:13:57.070><c> are</c><00:13:57.289><c> going</c><00:13:57.409><c> to</c><00:13:57.629><c> stand</c><00:13:57.929><c> there</c>

00:13:58.110 --> 00:13:59.830
and<00:13:58.190><c> have</c><00:13:58.309><c> to</c><00:13:58.509><c> give</c><00:13:58.529><c> an</c><00:13:58.769><c> account</c><00:13:58.990><c> for</c><00:13:59.149><c> what</c><00:13:59.309><c> they've</c><00:13:59.610><c> done</c>

00:13:59.830 --> 00:14:01.090
because<00:14:00.230><c> the</c><00:14:00.429><c> Lord</c><00:14:00.629><c> told</c><00:14:00.929><c> them,</c>

00:14:01.129 --> 00:14:02.909
you're<00:14:01.330><c> going</c><00:14:01.429><c> to</c><00:14:01.549><c> see</c><00:14:01.690><c> Abraham,</c><00:14:02.110><c> Isaac,</c><00:14:02.409><c> and</c><00:14:02.669><c> Jacob</c>

00:14:02.909 --> 00:14:05.049
going<00:14:03.210><c> into</c><00:14:03.429><c> the</c><00:14:03.610><c> kingdom</c><00:14:03.870><c> and</c><00:14:04.110><c> yourselves</c><00:14:04.409><c> cast</c><00:14:04.769><c> out.</c>

00:14:05.289 --> 00:14:07.409
They're<00:14:05.629><c> going</c><00:14:05.750><c> to</c><00:14:05.870><c> be</c><00:14:05.990><c> there</c><00:14:06.169><c> to</c><00:14:06.309><c> give</c><00:14:06.409><c> an</c><00:14:06.629><c> account.</c>

00:14:07.429 --> 00:14:08.889
So<00:14:07.629><c> is</c><00:14:07.769><c> that</c><00:14:08.110><c> young</c><00:14:08.409><c> person</c>

00:14:11.490 --> 00:14:13.429
and<00:14:11.690><c> Christ</c><00:14:12.029><c> returns</c><00:14:12.429><c> today,</c>

00:14:14.110 --> 00:14:16.730
but<00:14:14.590><c> what</c><00:14:14.830><c> sort</c><00:14:14.990><c> of</c><00:14:15.129><c> account</c><00:14:15.330><c> are</c><00:14:15.409><c> they</c><00:14:15.590><c> going</c><00:14:15.750><c> to</c><00:14:15.970><c> give?</c>

00:14:16.769 --> 00:14:19.789
The<00:14:17.129><c> Pharisee</c><00:14:17.529><c> is</c><00:14:17.690><c> going</c><00:14:17.789><c> to</c><00:14:17.950><c> be</c><00:14:18.190><c> trembling</c><00:14:18.529><c> in</c><00:14:18.710><c> his</c><00:14:18.970><c> boots.</c>

00:14:20.070 --> 00:14:21.029
The<00:14:20.289><c> young</c><00:14:20.549><c> person</c><00:14:20.850><c> says,</c>

00:14:21.210 --> 00:14:21.769
I<00:14:21.230><c> love</c><00:14:21.549><c> God.</c>

00:14:21.769 --> 00:14:23.450
It<00:14:21.870><c> was</c><00:14:22.090><c> my</c><00:14:22.330><c> desire</c><00:14:22.610><c> to</c><00:14:22.789><c> be</c><00:14:22.990><c> baptized.</c>

00:14:23.809 --> 00:14:24.750
They're<00:14:24.029><c> both</c><00:14:24.289><c> accountable,</c>

00:14:24.750 --> 00:14:26.950
but<00:14:24.929><c> look</c><00:14:25.110><c> at</c><00:14:25.250><c> the</c><00:14:25.429><c> account</c><00:14:25.570><c> they're</c><00:14:25.850><c> going</c><00:14:25.950><c> to</c><00:14:26.169><c> give.</c>

00:14:27.110 --> 00:14:29.230
Now,<00:14:27.250><c> of</c><00:14:27.429><c> course,</c><00:14:27.549><c> we</c><00:14:27.750><c> can't</c><00:14:28.129><c> spell</c><00:14:28.289><c> out</c><00:14:28.490><c> in</c><00:14:28.750><c> detail</c>

00:14:29.230 --> 00:14:30.769

Now<00:18:55.170><c> you</c><00:18:55.190><c> might</c><00:18:55.329><c> say,</c><00:18:55.609><c> what's</c><00:18:55.750><c> that</c><00:18:55.990><c> got</c><00:18:56.150><c> to</c><00:18:56.349><c> do</c>

Nothing<00:20:34.329><c> really</c><00:20:34.670><c> is</c><00:20:34.890><c> there.</c>

00:20:36.450 --> 00:20:38.430

What's<00:20:44.069><c> it</c><00:20:44.250><c> say?</c>

00:20:50.369 --> 00:20:51.849
Architect<00:20:50.789><c> and</c><00:20:51.009><c> builder.</c>

00:20:53.049 --> 00:20:54.049
Is<00:20:53.150><c> there</c><00:20:53.329><c> a</c><00:20:53.430><c> difference</c><00:20:53.710><c> between</c>

00:20:54.049 --> 00:20:55.710
an<00:20:54.369><c> architect</c><00:20:54.690><c> and</c><00:20:54.849><c> a</c><00:20:54.990><c> builder?</c>

00:20:56.130 --> 00:20:58.329
Where's<00:20:56.349><c> all</c><00:20:56.470><c> our</c><00:20:56.690><c> architects</c><00:20:57.089><c> around</c><00:20:57.390><c> the</c><00:20:57.589><c> place?</c>

00:21:00.329 --> 00:21:00.809
What<00:21:00.470><c> did</c><00:21:00.549><c> you</c><00:21:00.710><c> say?</c>

00:21:00.910 --> 00:21:02.069
You're<00:21:00.950><c> only</c><00:21:01.069><c> an</c><00:21:01.250><c> accountant.</c>

00:21:04.509 --> 00:21:05.150
Oh,<00:21:04.950><c> right.</c>

00:21:05.150 --> 00:21:06.569
They<00:21:05.309><c> don't</c><00:21:05.450><c> do</c><00:21:05.609><c> the</c><00:21:05.789><c> work.</c>

00:21:08.430 --> 00:21:10.150
You<00:21:08.869><c> were</c><00:21:09.130><c> an</c><00:21:09.250><c> architect</c><00:21:09.509><c> once,</c><00:21:09.829><c> weren't</c><00:21:09.930><c> you?</c>

00:21:10.430 --> 00:21:11.509
Oh,<00:21:10.569><c> right.</c>

00:21:11.849 --> 00:21:12.869
Okay.

00:21:13.329 --> 00:21:14.410
So<00:21:13.769><c> there's</c><00:21:14.150><c> a</c><00:21:14.190><c> difference</c>

00:21:14.410 --> 00:21:15.609
between<00:21:14.630><c> an</c><00:21:14.910><c> architect</c><00:21:15.210><c> and</c><00:21:15.349><c> a</c><00:21:15.509><c> builder.</c>

00:21:15.730 --> 00:21:17.150
Would<00:21:15.789><c> you</c><00:21:15.910><c> be</c><00:21:16.009><c> much</c><00:21:16.230><c> of</c><00:21:16.349><c> a</c><00:21:16.430><c> builder?</c>

00:21:17.710 --> 00:21:18.890
Not<00:21:18.230><c> too</c><00:21:18.750><c> good.</c>

00:21:18.970 --> 00:21:19.529
All<00:21:19.190><c> right.</c>

00:21:19.750 --> 00:21:20.690
Okay.

00:21:21.470 --> 00:21:24.990
So<00:21:21.990><c> the</c><00:21:22.509><c> NIV</c><00:21:22.869><c> said</c><00:21:23.230><c> architect</c><00:21:23.970><c> and</c><00:21:24.230><c> builder.</c>

00:21:26.049 --> 00:21:27.369
I've<00:21:26.369><c> got</c><00:21:26.549><c> Rotherham</c><00:21:26.869><c> down</c><00:21:27.150><c> here,</c>

00:21:27.470 --> 00:21:29.430
says<00:21:27.569><c> architect</c><00:21:28.210><c> and</c><00:21:28.630><c> builder.</c>

00:21:29.509 --> 00:21:30.490
Brother<00:21:29.730><c> Thomas,</c><00:21:30.049><c> I</c><00:21:30.250><c> think,</c>

00:21:30.710 --> 00:21:32.369
translates<00:21:31.009><c> it</c><00:21:31.230><c> as</c><00:21:31.410><c> designer</c><00:21:31.869><c> and</c><00:21:32.150><c> builder.</c>

00:21:32.750 --> 00:21:34.990
Now<00:21:33.049><c> this</c><00:21:33.269><c> is</c><00:21:33.529><c> the</c><00:21:33.690><c> essence</c><00:21:33.890><c> of</c><00:21:34.130><c> the</c><00:21:34.230><c> matter.</c>

00:21:36.569 --> 00:21:38.029
God's<00:21:37.089><c> predetermined</c><00:21:37.609><c> purpose,</c>

00:21:38.029 --> 00:21:40.049
I<00:21:38.190><c> use</c><00:21:38.490><c> the</c><00:21:38.569><c> word</c><00:21:38.869><c> predetermined</c>

00:21:40.150 --> 00:21:41.710
because<00:21:40.609><c> that's</c><00:21:41.130><c> really</c>

00:21:41.710 --> 00:21:43.769
what<00:21:41.990><c> the</c><00:21:42.130><c> word</c><00:21:42.329><c> predestinated</c><00:21:43.130><c> means.</c>

00:21:44.230 --> 00:21:46.509
Predestinated<00:21:44.829><c> or</c><00:21:45.130><c> predetermined.</c>

00:21:46.829 --> 00:21:48.170
And<00:21:46.849><c> we</c><00:21:46.950><c> must</c><00:21:47.130><c> listen</c><00:21:47.349><c> to</c><00:21:47.470><c> this</c><00:21:47.650><c> bit</c><00:21:47.769><c> carefully</c>

00:21:48.170 --> 00:21:49.910
because<00:21:48.470><c> we</c><00:21:48.650><c> can't</c><00:21:48.890><c> listen</c><00:21:49.069><c> to</c><00:21:49.230><c> everything</c><00:21:49.509><c> carefully,</c>

00:21:50.029 --> 00:21:52.329
but<00:21:50.089><c> this</c><00:21:50.369><c> bit</c><00:21:50.470><c> we</c><00:21:50.609><c> have</c><00:21:50.829><c> to</c><00:21:50.990><c> listen</c><00:21:51.150><c> to</c><00:21:51.369><c> carefully.</c>

00:21:52.990 --> 00:21:55.250
God's<00:21:53.589><c> predetermined</c><00:21:54.190><c> purpose</c>

00:21:55.470 --> 00:21:59.390
is<00:21:56.069><c> related</c><00:21:56.609><c> to</c><00:21:56.990><c> God</c><00:21:57.309><c> the</c><00:21:58.369><c> designer.</c>

00:22:01.869 --> 00:22:05.150
As<00:22:02.470><c> the</c><00:22:02.829><c> designer,</c><00:22:03.309><c> he</c><00:22:03.710><c> has</c><00:22:03.970><c> a</c><00:22:04.269><c> plan.</c>

00:22:05.869 --> 00:22:08.970
That<00:22:06.509><c> plan</c><00:22:06.890><c> is</c><00:22:07.190><c> found</c><00:22:07.509><c> in</c><00:22:07.769><c> the</c><00:22:07.910><c> Bible.</c>

00:22:09.869 --> 00:22:11.549
The<00:22:10.009><c> analogy</c><00:22:10.410><c> which</c><00:22:10.730><c> we</c><00:22:10.910><c> often</c><00:22:11.190><c> use</c>

00:22:11.549 --> 00:22:14.089
is<00:22:11.829><c> the</c><00:22:12.069><c> plan</c><00:22:12.210><c> of</c><00:22:12.410><c> a</c><00:22:12.650><c> spiritual</c><00:22:13.069><c> temple.</c>

00:22:14.690 --> 00:22:16.309
Now<00:22:14.890><c> there</c><00:22:15.089><c> is</c><00:22:15.269><c> the</c><00:22:15.450><c> temple.</c>

00:22:16.529 --> 00:22:18.470
The<00:22:16.769><c> designs</c><00:22:17.190><c> of</c><00:22:17.430><c> the</c><00:22:17.769><c> spiritual</c><00:22:18.150><c> temple</c>

00:22:18.470 --> 00:22:19.750
are<00:22:18.769><c> found</c><00:22:19.009><c> in</c><00:22:19.190><c> the</c><00:22:19.470><c> character</c>

00:22:19.750 --> 00:22:21.089
of<00:22:19.950><c> the</c><00:22:20.029><c> Lord</c><00:22:20.210><c> Jesus</c><00:22:20.650><c> Christ,</c>

00:22:21.549 --> 00:22:24.390
in<00:22:21.970><c> the</c><00:22:22.269><c> examples</c><00:22:22.690><c> of</c><00:22:22.890><c> the</c><00:22:23.049><c> apostle</c><00:22:23.349><c> Paul.</c>

00:22:24.529 --> 00:22:27.430
So<00:22:24.890><c> Yahweh</c><00:22:25.269><c> as</c><00:22:25.809><c> the</c><00:22:26.369><c> designer</c>

00:22:27.609 --> 00:22:30.609
has<00:22:28.250><c> a</c><00:22:28.589><c> predetermined</c><00:22:29.329><c> or</c><00:22:29.609><c> predestinated,</c>

00:22:30.609 --> 00:22:32.329
if<00:22:30.769><c> you</c><00:22:30.910><c> like,</c><00:22:31.829><c> purpose.</c>

00:22:33.009 --> 00:22:35.130
What<00:22:33.369><c> is</c><00:22:33.529><c> that</c><00:22:33.769><c> predetermined</c><00:22:34.329><c> purpose?</c>

00:22:36.009 --> 00:22:37.970
Romans<00:22:36.529><c> chapter</c><00:22:36.910><c> 8</c><00:22:37.210><c> says</c>

00:22:38.170 --> 00:22:39.970
that<00:22:38.690><c> whom</c><00:22:38.910><c> he</c><00:22:39.190><c> foreknew,</c>

00:22:40.430 --> 00:22:42.809
he<00:22:40.430><c> also</c><00:22:41.069><c> did</c><00:22:41.829><c> predetermined</c>

00:22:42.849 --> 00:22:44.890
to<00:22:43.109><c> be</c><00:22:43.390><c> conformed</c><00:22:43.930><c> to</c><00:22:44.089><c> the</c><00:22:44.230><c> image</c><00:22:44.390><c> of</c><00:22:44.549><c> his</c><00:22:44.710><c> son.</c>

00:22:45.210 --> 00:22:46.869
You<00:22:45.269><c> know,</c><00:22:45.430><c> turn</c><00:22:45.569><c> back</c><00:22:45.789><c> to</c><00:22:45.950><c> those</c><00:22:46.130><c> words</c><00:22:46.349><c> in</c><00:22:46.549><c> Romans</c><00:22:46.750><c> 8.</c>

00:22:46.910 --> 00:22:48.329
You've<00:22:47.069><c> already</c><00:22:47.309><c> picked</c><00:22:47.509><c> the</c><00:22:47.710><c> point</c><00:22:47.829><c> up</c>

00:22:48.329 --> 00:22:49.970
in<00:22:48.549><c> Hebrews</c><00:22:48.849><c> 11,</c><00:22:49.230><c> 10,</c><00:22:49.609><c> haven't</c><00:22:49.769><c> you?</c>

00:22:50.109 --> 00:22:51.930
It's<00:22:50.450><c> a</c><00:22:50.650><c> designer</c><00:22:51.109><c> and</c><00:22:51.589><c> a</c><00:22:51.750><c> builder.</c>

00:22:52.329 --> 00:22:55.509
So<00:22:52.809><c> Yahweh</c><00:22:53.130><c> has</c><00:22:54.049><c> two</c><00:22:54.509><c> aspects</c><00:22:54.930><c> to</c><00:22:55.130><c> his</c><00:22:55.329><c> work.</c>

00:22:55.730 --> 00:22:57.190
First<00:22:56.029><c> of</c><00:22:56.150><c> all,</c><00:22:56.190><c> he's</c><00:22:56.430><c> got</c><00:22:56.549><c> a</c><00:22:56.809><c> design</c>

00:22:57.190 --> 00:23:00.230
and<00:22:57.809><c> then</c><00:22:58.069><c> he's</c><00:22:58.349><c> setting</c><00:22:58.589><c> out</c><00:22:58.990><c> to</c><00:22:59.309><c> build.</c>

00:23:01.750 --> 00:23:02.990
Going<00:23:02.009><c> back</c><00:23:02.269><c> to</c><00:23:02.410><c> that</c><00:23:02.569><c> expression</c>

00:23:02.990 --> 00:23:04.289
in<00:23:03.190><c> Romans</c><00:23:03.509><c> chapter</c><00:23:03.910><c> 8,</c>

00:23:04.630 --> 00:23:08.670
in<00:23:05.289><c> Romans</c><00:23:05.630><c> chapter</c><00:23:06.009><c> 8</c><00:23:06.250><c> and</c><00:23:06.390><c> at</c><00:23:06.609><c> verse</c><00:23:07.170><c> 29,</c>

00:23:08.849 --> 00:23:12.190
we<00:23:08.890><c> read</c><00:23:09.230><c> for</c><00:23:09.450><c> whom</c><00:23:09.890><c> he</c><00:23:10.490><c> did</c><00:23:10.910><c> foreknow,</c>

00:23:12.369 --> 00:23:14.410
he<00:23:12.509><c> also</c><00:23:12.970><c> did</c><00:23:13.269><c> predestinate.</c>

00:23:15.170 --> 00:23:15.589
Don't<00:23:15.430><c> we?</c>

00:23:15.650 --> 00:23:17.150
That's<00:23:15.809><c> how</c><00:23:15.990><c> we</c><00:23:16.190><c> read</c><00:23:16.349><c> it.</c>

00:23:17.369 --> 00:23:18.390
Well,<00:23:17.529><c> we</c><00:23:17.670><c> shouldn't</c>

00:23:18.390 --> 00:23:20.809
because<00:23:18.829><c> there's</c><00:23:19.069><c> no</c><00:23:19.390><c> comma</c><00:23:19.630><c> after</c><00:23:20.009><c> predestinate</c>

00:23:20.809 --> 00:23:24.069
and<00:23:21.269><c> it</c><00:23:21.450><c> will</c><00:23:21.829><c> mislead</c><00:23:22.250><c> us</c><00:23:23.109><c> very</c><00:23:23.769><c> badly</c>

00:23:24.069 --> 00:23:24.910
if<00:23:24.289><c> we</c><00:23:24.430><c> do</c><00:23:24.650><c> that.</c>

00:23:25.250 --> 00:23:27.069
Now,<00:23:25.650><c> according</c><00:23:25.970><c> to</c><00:23:26.170><c> the</c><00:23:26.329><c> foreknowledge</c><00:23:26.769><c> of</c><00:23:26.930><c> God,</c>

00:23:27.089 --> 00:23:28.609
and<00:23:27.190><c> we're</c><00:23:27.329><c> not</c><00:23:27.549><c> talking</c><00:23:27.809><c> about</c><00:23:28.130><c> foreknowledge</c>

00:23:28.609 --> 00:23:28.970
at<00:23:28.769><c> the</c><00:23:28.869><c> moment.</c>

00:23:28.990 --> 00:23:30.430
That's<00:23:29.289><c> another</c><00:23:29.450><c> subject.</c>

00:23:30.549 --> 00:23:32.750
What<00:23:30.910><c> God</c><00:23:31.390><c> determined</c><00:23:32.029><c> was</c>

00:23:32.750 --> 00:23:35.730
he<00:23:33.569><c> predetermined</c><00:23:34.490><c> that</c><00:23:34.750><c> people</c><00:23:35.029><c> must</c><00:23:35.329><c> conform</c>

00:23:35.730 --> 00:23:36.769
to<00:23:35.910><c> the</c><00:23:36.029><c> image</c><00:23:36.190><c> of</c><00:23:36.349><c> his</c><00:23:36.549><c> son.</c>

00:23:36.990 --> 00:23:38.529
It's<00:23:37.250><c> one</c><00:23:37.490><c> sentence.</c>

00:23:39.170 --> 00:23:40.430
Now,<00:23:39.369><c> God</c><00:23:39.650><c> the</c><00:23:39.869><c> designer</c><00:23:40.170><c> says,</c>

00:23:40.609 --> 00:23:41.450
there<00:23:40.650><c> is</c><00:23:40.890><c> my</c><00:23:41.190><c> plan.</c>

00:23:41.670 --> 00:23:43.049
It's<00:23:42.029><c> a</c><00:23:42.089><c> spiritual</c><00:23:42.589><c> temple.</c>

00:23:43.529 --> 00:23:46.609
He<00:23:43.750><c> says,</c><00:23:43.890><c> I've</c><00:23:44.170><c> already</c><00:23:44.710><c> laid</c><00:23:45.289><c> the</c><00:23:46.049><c> cornerstone</c>

00:23:46.609 --> 00:23:48.930
in<00:23:46.849><c> my</c><00:23:47.109><c> son,</c><00:23:47.569><c> Jesus</c><00:23:47.730><c> Christ.</c>

00:23:49.930 --> 00:23:51.769
Furthermore,<00:23:50.349><c> there</c><00:23:50.789><c> are</c><00:23:50.990><c> the</c><00:23:51.210><c> foundations</c>

00:23:51.769 --> 00:23:53.130
of<00:23:52.029><c> the</c><00:23:52.230><c> apostles</c><00:23:52.589><c> and</c><00:23:52.890><c> prophets.</c>

00:23:53.309 --> 00:23:54.529
He<00:23:53.549><c> says,</c><00:23:53.849><c> there's</c><00:23:54.170><c> the</c><00:23:54.369><c> plan.</c>

00:23:54.569 --> 00:23:56.190
Do<00:23:54.730><c> you</c><00:23:54.789><c> want</c><00:23:54.869><c> to</c><00:23:54.990><c> be</c><00:23:55.089><c> in</c><00:23:55.170><c> that</c><00:23:55.369><c> temple?</c>

00:23:58.890 --> 00:24:00.509
My<00:23:59.369><c> predetermined</c><00:23:59.849><c> purpose</c><00:24:00.230><c> is</c>

00:24:00.509 --> 00:24:02.250
that<00:24:00.609><c> if</c><00:24:00.750><c> you're</c><00:24:01.009><c> going</c><00:24:01.150><c> to</c><00:24:01.309><c> be</c><00:24:01.410><c> in</c><00:24:01.490><c> that</c><00:24:01.750><c> temple,</c>

00:24:02.250 --> 00:24:05.769
you've<00:24:03.289><c> got</c><00:24:03.509><c> to</c><00:24:03.789><c> allow</c><00:24:04.109><c> me</c><00:24:04.390><c> to</c><00:24:04.690><c> fashion</c><00:24:05.009><c> you</c>

00:24:05.950 --> 00:24:07.269
so<00:24:06.470><c> that</c><00:24:06.569><c> as</c><00:24:06.910><c> a</c><00:24:07.049><c> stone,</c>

00:24:07.369 --> 00:24:09.990
you<00:24:07.450><c> will</c><00:24:07.789><c> fit</c><00:24:08.089><c> into</c><00:24:08.390><c> that</c><00:24:08.650><c> pattern</c><00:24:08.910><c> perfectly.</c>

00:24:10.529 --> 00:24:12.950
Ah,<00:24:10.910><c> we've</c><00:24:11.289><c> now</c><00:24:11.650><c> suddenly</c><00:24:12.049><c> slipped</c><00:24:12.309><c> across</c>

00:24:12.950 --> 00:24:14.869
to<00:24:13.509><c> God</c><00:24:13.670><c> the</c><00:24:13.809><c> builder.</c>

00:24:16.130 --> 00:24:17.230
Haven't<00:24:16.329><c> we?</c>

00:24:17.670 --> 00:24:20.230
So<00:24:18.049><c> God</c><00:24:18.289><c> the</c><00:24:18.569><c> designer</c><00:24:18.890><c> has</c><00:24:19.170><c> a</c><00:24:19.390><c> predetermined</c><00:24:19.910><c> purpose.</c>

00:24:20.470 --> 00:24:22.690
So<00:24:20.630><c> if</c><00:24:20.730><c> you</c><00:24:20.890><c> ever</c><00:24:21.049><c> worry</c><00:24:21.329><c> about</c><00:24:21.609><c> the</c><00:24:21.750><c> word</c><00:24:21.950><c> predetermined,</c>

00:24:22.950 --> 00:24:23.970
look<00:24:23.069><c> it</c><00:24:23.230><c> up.</c>

00:24:24.549 --> 00:24:26.589
I've<00:24:25.069><c> got</c><00:24:25.170><c> my</c><00:24:25.490><c> wad</c><00:24:25.589><c> of</c><00:24:25.730><c> Romans</c><00:24:26.049><c> notes</c><00:24:26.329><c> here.</c>

00:24:27.049 --> 00:24:28.230

00:25:23.690 --> 00:25:25.549
God<00:25:24.130><c> wants</c><00:25:24.490><c> to</c><00:25:24.730><c> fit</c><00:25:24.849><c> us</c><00:25:25.049><c> for</c><00:25:25.190><c> that</c><00:25:25.369><c> temple.</c>

00:25:58.170 --> 00:26:01.670
He<00:25:58.490><c> drafts</c><00:25:59.109><c> this</c><00:25:59.269><c> after</c><00:25:59.589><c> a</c><00:25:59.849><c> scale</c><00:26:00.009><c> of</c><00:26:00.250><c> so</c><00:26:00.410><c> much</c><00:26:00.569><c> to</c><00:26:00.769><c> the</c><00:26:00.910><c> foot.</c>

00:26:01.710 --> 00:26:03.930
This<00:26:01.829><c> is</c><00:26:02.049><c> the</c><00:26:02.269><c> extension</c><00:26:02.730><c> or</c><00:26:03.029><c> time,</c><00:26:03.390><c> so</c><00:26:03.589><c> to</c><00:26:03.750><c> speak,</c>

00:26:06.710 --> 00:26:08.230

00:26:08.670 --> 00:26:11.650
he<00:26:08.809><c> concludes</c><00:26:09.309><c> that</c><00:26:09.609><c> it</c><00:26:09.809><c> is</c><00:26:10.130><c> the</c><00:26:10.309><c> best</c><00:26:10.690><c> possible</c><00:26:11.170><c> plan</c>

The<00:26:18.829><c> plan</c><00:26:19.289><c> then</c><00:26:20.369><c> becomes</c><00:26:20.950><c> his</c><00:26:21.329><c> purpose,</c>

00:26:38.369 --> 00:26:39.609
Now,<00:26:38.509><c> we</c><00:26:38.609><c> want</c><00:26:38.789><c> to</c><00:26:38.950><c> talk</c><00:26:39.089><c> this</c><00:26:39.329><c> morning</c>

We<00:26:42.250><c> want</c><00:26:42.430><c> to</c><00:26:42.630><c> turn</c><00:26:42.809><c> to</c><00:26:42.990><c> Romans</c><00:26:43.329><c> chapter</c><00:26:43.690><c> 7</c>

00:26:45.289 --> 00:26:48.170
because<00:26:45.910><c> he</c><00:26:46.529><c> is</c><00:26:46.750><c> a</c><00:26:46.990><c> great</c><00:26:47.190><c> man.</c>

00:26:56.539 --> 00:26:58.599
it's<00:26:56.799><c> a</c><00:26:56.940><c> frustrating</c><00:26:57.440><c> process,</c><00:26:58.019><c> isn't</c><00:26:58.180><c> it?</c>

00:26:59.019 --> 00:27:00.559
It's<00:26:59.299><c> a</c><00:26:59.440><c> frustrating</c><00:26:59.980><c> process,</c>

00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:03.339

00:27:15.779 --> 00:27:17.859
This<00:27:16.019><c> is</c><00:27:16.259><c> an</c><00:27:16.559><c> overview,</c><00:27:17.359><c> if</c><00:27:17.500><c> you</c><00:27:17.680><c> like,</c>

In<00:27:24.779><c> Romans</c><00:27:25.160><c> chapter</c><00:27:25.579><c> 7,</c>

00:27:26.140 --> 00:27:27.900
the<00:27:26.160><c> theme</c><00:27:26.420><c> really</c><00:27:26.819><c> starts</c><00:27:27.099><c> in</c><00:27:27.299><c> verse</c><00:27:27.539><c> 5.</c>

00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:30.700
Chapter<00:27:28.240><c> divisions</c><00:27:28.619><c> are</c><00:27:29.059><c> very</c><00:27:29.380><c> often</c><00:27:29.660><c> unhelpful.</c>

00:27:32.900 --> 00:27:38.440
Really,<00:27:34.559><c> the</c><00:27:34.660><c> early</c><00:27:34.880><c> part</c><00:27:35.140><c> of</c><00:27:35.420><c> Romans</c><00:27:35.759><c> 7</c>

00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:40.920

00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:46.119
we've<00:27:43.460><c> got</c><00:27:43.619><c> a</c><00:27:43.759><c> description</c><00:27:44.160><c> of</c><00:27:44.380><c> Paul</c><00:27:44.779><c> under</c><00:27:45.160><c> the</c><00:27:45.339><c> law.</c>

00:27:46.259 --> 00:27:49.640
The<00:27:46.579><c> passions</c><00:27:47.000><c> of</c><00:27:47.299><c> sin</c><00:27:47.660><c> brought</c><00:27:48.460><c> forth</c><00:27:48.700><c> fruit</c><00:27:48.859><c> unto</c><00:27:49.240><c> death.</c>

00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:53.940
But<00:27:50.299><c> when</c><00:27:50.500><c> we</c><00:27:50.640><c> get</c><00:27:50.980><c> to</c><00:27:51.480><c> Romans</c><00:27:51.880><c> chapter</c><00:27:52.240><c> 7</c><00:27:52.640><c> and</c><00:27:52.859><c> verse</c><00:27:53.180><c> 13,</c>

00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:59.779
And<00:27:57.200><c> we've</c><00:27:57.339><c> now</c><00:27:57.640><c> got</c><00:27:58.039><c> Paul</c><00:27:58.480><c> in</c><00:27:58.859><c> Christ.</c>

00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.200
I<00:28:01.140><c> would</c><00:28:01.380><c> remark</c><00:28:01.759><c> here</c><00:28:02.059><c> that</c><00:28:02.319><c> we</c><00:28:02.500><c> need</c><00:28:02.640><c> to</c><00:28:02.779><c> be</c><00:28:02.880><c> very</c><00:28:03.299><c> careful</c>

00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:12.079
I<00:28:08.480><c> know</c><00:28:08.720><c> from</c><00:28:08.980><c> time</c><00:28:09.240><c> to</c><00:28:09.420><c> time</c><00:28:09.700><c> we</c><00:28:10.940><c> may</c><00:28:11.299><c> have</c><00:28:11.619><c> commentaries,</c>

00:28:12.099 --> 00:28:13.279
and<00:28:12.240><c> I</c><00:28:12.359><c> have</c><00:28:12.500><c> some</c><00:28:12.700><c> on</c><00:28:12.859><c> my</c><00:28:13.079><c> shelf,</c>

00:28:13.339 --> 00:28:15.339
and<00:28:13.500><c> some</c><00:28:13.660><c> I</c><00:28:13.759><c> don't</c><00:28:13.960><c> like</c><00:28:14.279><c> people</c><00:28:14.519><c> to</c><00:28:14.700><c> see</c><00:28:14.759><c> on</c><00:28:14.960><c> my</c><00:28:15.160><c> shelf,</c>

00:28:15.339 --> 00:28:17.900
because<00:28:15.779><c> I</c><00:28:16.119><c> don't</c><00:28:16.319><c> think</c><00:28:16.400><c> it's</c><00:28:17.099><c> necessarily</c>

00:28:17.900 --> 00:28:21.880

00:28:21.940 --> 00:28:23.400
like<00:28:22.319><c> Ellicott,</c><00:28:22.759><c> for</c><00:28:22.920><c> example,</c>

00:28:23.500 --> 00:28:25.140
which<00:28:23.720><c> I</c><00:28:23.880><c> happen</c><00:28:24.059><c> to</c><00:28:24.299><c> have.</c>

00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:27.660
But<00:28:25.660><c> if</c><00:28:25.819><c> you</c><00:28:26.000><c> read</c><00:28:26.259><c> Mr.</c><00:28:26.779><c> Ellicott,</c>

00:28:27.980 --> 00:28:29.480

that<00:28:29.640><c> all</c><00:28:29.779><c> of</c><00:28:29.920><c> this</c><00:28:30.079><c> is</c><00:28:30.299><c> Paul</c><00:28:30.420><c> under</c><00:28:30.700><c> the</c><00:28:30.859><c> law.</c>

00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:34.640
Can<00:28:32.700><c> you</c><00:28:32.720><c> imagine</c><00:28:32.980><c> what</c><00:28:33.220><c> sort</c><00:28:33.339><c> of</c><00:28:33.500><c> mess</c><00:28:33.599><c> that</c><00:28:33.759><c> will</c><00:28:33.940><c> get</c><00:28:34.160><c> you</c><00:28:34.339><c> into?</c>

00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:36.059
And<00:28:35.240><c> you</c><00:28:35.420><c> shrug</c><00:28:35.579><c> it</c><00:28:35.700><c> off</c><00:28:35.819><c> and</c><00:28:35.940><c> say,</c>

00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:38.079
oh,<00:28:36.180><c> but</c><00:28:36.359><c> I</c><00:28:36.500><c> wouldn't</c><00:28:36.660><c> get</c><00:28:36.839><c> into</c><00:28:36.980><c> that</c><00:28:37.220><c> mess.</c>

Some<00:28:39.819><c> brethren</c><00:28:40.180><c> have,</c>

00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:42.680

00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:46.809
because<00:28:45.480><c> they</c><00:28:45.700><c> have</c><00:28:46.039><c> followed</c>

00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:49.880
Ellicott's<00:28:47.779><c> commentary</c><00:28:48.160><c> on</c><00:28:48.460><c> Romans</c><00:28:48.759><c> 7,</c>

00:30:32.710 --> 00:30:34.450
Israel<00:30:32.970><c> came</c><00:30:33.250><c> out</c><00:30:33.450><c> of</c><00:30:33.589><c> Egypt.</c>

that<00:31:45.190><c> sin</c><00:31:45.430><c> by</c><00:31:45.710><c> the</c><00:31:45.950><c> commandment</c><00:31:46.369><c> might</c><00:31:46.569><c> become</c><00:31:47.349><c> exceeding</c><00:31:48.170><c> sinful.</c>

00:31:49.490 --> 00:31:51.250
For<00:31:49.650><c> we</c><00:31:49.769><c> know</c><00:31:50.069><c> that</c><00:31:50.269><c> the</c><00:31:50.390><c> law</c><00:31:50.490><c> is</c><00:31:50.690><c> spiritual.</c>

00:31:51.490 --> 00:31:52.769
So<00:31:51.630><c> there's</c><00:31:51.829><c> nothing</c><00:31:52.049><c> wrong</c><00:31:52.250><c> with</c><00:31:52.450><c> the</c><00:31:52.589><c> law.</c>

00:31:52.789 --> 00:31:53.509
It's<00:31:53.089><c> holy.</c>

00:31:53.750 --> 00:31:54.470
It's<00:31:54.069><c> just.</c>

00:31:54.769 --> 00:31:56.089
And<00:31:54.930><c> it</c><00:31:55.009><c> was</c><00:31:55.190><c> good.</c>

00:31:56.430 --> 00:31:59.349
It<00:31:56.509><c> was</c><00:31:56.710><c> Brother</c><00:31:56.970><c> Carter</c><00:31:57.289><c> who</c><00:31:57.589><c> said</c><00:31:57.869><c> it</c><00:31:58.210><c> was</c><00:31:58.490><c> holy</c><00:31:58.769><c> having</c><00:31:59.049><c> its</c>

00:31:59.349 --> 00:32:00.710
source<00:31:59.589><c> in</c><00:31:59.869><c> God.</c>

00:32:00.789 --> 00:32:03.430
It<00:32:00.990><c> was</c><00:32:01.269><c> just</c><00:32:01.589><c> in</c><00:32:01.809><c> the</c><00:32:01.970><c> righteousness</c><00:32:02.369><c> of</c><00:32:02.609><c> its</c><00:32:02.869><c> appointments.</c>

00:32:03.869 --> 00:32:07.309
And<00:32:04.250><c> it</c><00:32:04.329><c> was</c><00:32:04.589><c> good</c><00:32:04.809><c> in</c><00:32:04.990><c> its</c><00:32:05.210><c> beneficial</c><00:32:05.750><c> objects</c><00:32:06.210><c> in</c><00:32:06.490><c> directing</c><00:32:06.809><c> human</c><00:32:07.170><c> life.</c>

00:32:07.329 --> 00:32:11.750
It<00:32:07.869><c> revealed</c><00:32:08.450><c> man</c><00:32:08.809><c> for</c><00:32:09.049><c> what</c><00:32:09.230><c> he</c><00:32:09.430><c> is</c><00:32:10.230><c> and</c><00:32:10.869><c> showed</c><00:32:11.089><c> him</c><00:32:11.309><c> the</c><00:32:11.410><c> need</c><00:32:11.569><c> of</c>

00:32:11.750 --> 00:32:12.329
a<00:32:11.910><c> redeemer.</c>

00:32:12.509 --> 00:32:14.369
So<00:32:12.630><c> it</c><00:32:12.769><c> was</c><00:32:12.950><c> pointing</c><00:32:13.190><c> outside</c><00:32:13.710><c> all</c><00:32:13.990><c> the</c><00:32:14.150><c> time.</c>

00:32:14.690 --> 00:32:15.369
I<00:32:14.710><c> can</c><00:32:14.970><c> teach</c><00:32:15.210><c> you.</c>

00:32:15.430 --> 00:32:16.029
I<00:32:15.450><c> can</c><00:32:15.690><c> teach</c><00:32:15.910><c> you.</c>

00:32:16.069 --> 00:32:17.970
But<00:32:16.150><c> you've</c><00:32:16.430><c> got</c><00:32:16.529><c> to</c><00:32:16.609><c> look</c><00:32:16.829><c> out</c><00:32:17.089><c> there</c><00:32:17.210><c> to</c><00:32:17.349><c> the</c><00:32:17.509><c> blood</c><00:32:17.609><c> of</c><00:32:17.789><c> the</c>

00:32:17.970 --> 00:32:18.750
everlasting<00:32:18.369><c> covenant.</c>

00:32:19.069 --> 00:32:19.190
Right.

00:32:19.190 --> 00:32:21.269
That's<00:32:19.529><c> the</c><00:32:19.690><c> background</c><00:32:20.049><c> to</c><00:32:20.269><c> it.</c>

00:32:21.650 --> 00:32:24.069
So<00:32:21.849><c> he</c><00:32:22.049><c> continues</c><00:32:22.589><c> verse</c><00:32:22.890><c> 15.</c>

00:32:24.269 --> 00:32:26.950
For<00:32:24.329><c> that</c><00:32:24.650><c> which</c><00:32:24.890><c> I</c><00:32:25.190><c> do,</c><00:32:25.569><c> I</c><00:32:25.829><c> allow</c><00:32:26.069><c> not.</c>

00:32:27.150 --> 00:32:29.410
For<00:32:27.309><c> what</c><00:32:27.529><c> I</c><00:32:27.809><c> would,</c><00:32:28.509><c> that</c><00:32:28.690><c> I</c><00:32:28.930><c> do</c><00:32:29.089><c> not.</c>

00:32:29.849 --> 00:32:31.490
But<00:32:29.990><c> what</c><00:32:30.190><c> I</c><00:32:30.450><c> hate,</c><00:32:30.809><c> that</c><00:32:30.930><c> do</c><00:32:31.210><c> I.</c>

00:32:31.789 --> 00:32:34.390
If<00:32:32.109><c> then</c><00:32:32.309><c> I</c><00:32:32.529><c> do</c><00:32:32.730><c> that</c><00:32:32.950><c> which</c><00:32:33.150><c> I</c><00:32:33.390><c> would</c><00:32:33.549><c> not,</c>

00:32:34.750 --> 00:32:36.990
I<00:32:34.990><c> consent</c><00:32:35.309><c> that</c><00:32:35.509><c> the</c><00:32:35.650><c> law</c><00:32:35.829><c> is</c><00:32:36.069><c> good.</c>

00:32:37.210 --> 00:32:41.470
Now,<00:32:37.710><c> he</c><00:32:37.730><c> says,</c><00:32:38.269><c> it</c><00:32:38.269><c> is</c><00:32:38.549><c> no</c><00:32:38.910><c> more</c><00:32:39.269><c> I</c><00:32:40.009><c> that</c><00:32:40.230><c> do</c><00:32:40.450><c> it,</c>

00:32:42.069 --> 00:32:44.869
but<00:32:42.269><c> sin</c><00:32:42.630><c> that</c><00:32:42.970><c> dwelleth</c><00:32:43.609><c> in</c><00:32:43.809><c> me.</c>

00:32:45.089 --> 00:32:47.269
Well,<00:32:45.230><c> we</c><00:32:45.369><c> spoke</c><00:32:45.670><c> about</c><00:32:45.970><c> that</c><00:32:46.410><c> yesterday,</c><00:32:46.869><c> didn't</c><00:32:47.089><c> we?</c>

00:32:47.309 --> 00:32:49.670
We<00:32:47.509><c> spoke</c><00:32:47.789><c> about</c><00:32:48.309><c> that</c><00:32:48.650><c> section</c><00:32:48.910><c> in</c><00:32:49.109><c> Opus</c><00:32:49.349><c> Israel,</c>

00:32:49.750 --> 00:32:52.829
which<00:32:50.130><c> we</c><00:32:50.470><c> shouldn't</c><00:32:50.730><c> have</c><00:32:50.930><c> any</c><00:32:51.210><c> difficulties</c><00:32:51.589><c> with,</c><00:32:51.950><c> although</c><00:32:52.109><c> some</c><00:32:52.410><c> do,</c>

00:32:53.029 --> 00:32:57.390
that<00:32:53.210><c> the</c><00:32:53.529><c> word</c><00:32:54.089><c> sin</c><00:32:54.529><c> is</c><00:32:54.869><c> used</c><00:32:55.190><c> in</c><00:32:55.450><c> two</c><00:32:55.650><c> principal</c><00:32:56.069><c> acceptations</c><00:32:56.789><c> in</c><00:32:56.950><c> the</c><00:32:57.109><c> scripture.</c>

00:32:57.630 --> 00:32:59.170
Not<00:32:57.829><c> saying</c><00:32:58.049><c> there's</c><00:32:58.230><c> two</c><00:32:58.450><c> types</c><00:32:58.789><c> of</c><00:32:59.009><c> sin.</c>

00:32:59.490 --> 00:33:02.769
The<00:32:59.789><c> word</c><00:33:00.329><c> sin</c><00:33:00.529><c> is</c><00:33:00.789><c> used</c><00:33:00.970><c> in</c><00:33:01.210><c> two</c><00:33:01.410><c> principal</c><00:33:01.809><c> acceptations.</c>

00:33:03.230 --> 00:33:05.289
The<00:33:03.549><c> actual</c><00:33:03.970><c> doing</c><00:33:04.289><c> of</c><00:33:04.549><c> wrong.</c>

00:33:05.410 --> 00:33:07.930
And<00:33:05.930><c> he</c><00:33:06.109><c> said,</c><00:33:06.309><c> on</c><00:33:06.329><c> the</c><00:33:06.490><c> other</c><00:33:06.670><c> hand,</c><00:33:07.089><c> that</c><00:33:07.130><c> principle</c><00:33:07.569><c> in</c><00:33:07.750><c> the</c>

00:33:07.930 --> 00:33:08.609
animal<00:33:08.170><c> nature,</c>

00:33:09.049 --> 00:33:11.750
which<00:33:09.230><c> inevitably</c><00:33:09.849><c> leads</c><00:33:10.670><c> to</c><00:33:10.970><c> sin.</c>

00:33:12.069 --> 00:33:16.569
So<00:33:12.490><c> Paul</c><00:33:12.910><c> now</c><00:33:13.509><c> effectively</c><00:33:14.130><c> divides</c><00:33:14.670><c> himself</c><00:33:15.089><c> up</c><00:33:15.329><c> into</c><00:33:15.630><c> two.</c>

00:33:17.450 --> 00:33:18.690
If<00:33:17.630><c> you</c><00:33:17.869><c> follow</c><00:33:18.029><c> it</c><00:33:18.309><c> through</c><00:33:18.490><c> there,</c>

00:33:18.750 --> 00:33:23.250
it<00:33:18.910><c> basically</c><00:33:19.490><c> follows</c><00:33:20.089><c> the</c><00:33:20.809><c> pattern</c><00:33:21.089><c> of</c><00:33:21.349><c> the</c><00:33:21.710><c> I</c><00:33:21.950><c> and</c><00:33:22.230><c> the</c><00:33:22.410><c> me.</c>

00:33:24.150 --> 00:33:26.769
Now,<00:33:24.410><c> if</c><00:33:24.569><c> you</c><00:33:24.769><c> follow</c><00:33:24.910><c> it</c><00:33:25.230><c> through,</c><00:33:25.430><c> and</c><00:33:25.650><c> I</c><00:33:25.890><c> think</c><00:33:26.170><c> it's</c>

00:33:26.769 --> 00:33:27.470
almost<00:33:27.109><c> perfect,</c>

00:33:27.509 --> 00:33:30.809
but<00:33:27.670><c> anyway,</c><00:33:28.069><c> it's</c><00:33:28.269><c> near</c><00:33:28.390><c> enough</c><00:33:28.670><c> to</c><00:33:29.349><c> be</c><00:33:29.630><c> true</c><00:33:29.910><c> in</c><00:33:30.150><c> all</c><00:33:30.329><c> cases.</c>

00:33:31.150 --> 00:33:34.009
But<00:33:31.329><c> when</c><00:33:31.529><c> Paul</c><00:33:31.769><c> talks</c><00:33:32.069><c> about</c><00:33:32.349><c> the</c><00:33:32.650><c> I,</c><00:33:33.109><c> he's</c><00:33:33.509><c> talking</c><00:33:33.630><c> about</c>

00:33:34.009 --> 00:33:34.529
the<00:33:34.269><c> mind.</c>

00:33:34.789 --> 00:33:35.930
The<00:33:35.089><c> man</c><00:33:35.230><c> of</c><00:33:35.390><c> the</c><00:33:35.589><c> spirit.</c>

00:33:36.390 --> 00:33:38.750
The<00:33:36.470><c> one</c><00:33:36.769><c> who</c><00:33:37.349><c> loves</c><00:33:37.730><c> God.</c>

00:33:38.910 --> 00:33:40.750
When<00:33:39.029><c> he</c><00:33:39.170><c> talks</c><00:33:39.430><c> about</c><00:33:39.710><c> the</c><00:33:39.990><c> me</c><00:33:40.250><c> here,</c>

00:33:41.029 --> 00:33:43.990
he's<00:33:41.349><c> talking</c><00:33:41.490><c> about</c><00:33:41.769><c> that</c><00:33:42.049><c> part</c><00:33:42.329><c> of</c><00:33:42.369><c> him</c><00:33:42.509><c> which</c><00:33:42.690><c> is</c><00:33:42.890><c> the</c><00:33:43.150><c> flesh.</c>

00:33:44.269 --> 00:33:47.589
That<00:33:44.470><c> part</c><00:33:44.789><c> of</c><00:33:44.890><c> him</c><00:33:45.069><c> which</c><00:33:45.710><c> he</c><00:33:46.049><c> calls</c><00:33:46.230><c> that</c><00:33:46.849><c> wretched</c><00:33:47.210><c> man.</c>

00:33:47.650 --> 00:33:49.849
Who's<00:33:47.990><c> going</c><00:33:48.150><c> to</c><00:33:48.369><c> deliver</c><00:33:48.569><c> me</c><00:33:48.829><c> from</c><00:33:49.029><c> it?</c>

00:33:50.509 --> 00:33:55.829
So<00:33:50.769><c> we</c><00:33:51.009><c> pick</c><00:33:51.130><c> it</c><00:33:51.269><c> up</c><00:33:51.390><c> then</c><00:33:51.650><c> from</c><00:33:52.309><c> about</c><00:33:52.869><c> verse</c><00:33:53.829><c> 18.</c>

00:33:56.509 --> 00:33:59.849
He<00:33:56.710><c> says,</c><00:33:57.150><c> for</c><00:33:57.369><c> I</c><00:33:57.650><c> know</c><00:33:57.930><c> that</c><00:33:58.250><c> in</c><00:33:59.269><c> me.</c>

00:34:00.170 --> 00:34:02.549
So<00:34:00.369><c> you</c><00:34:00.490><c> see,</c><00:34:00.589><c> he's</c><00:34:00.769><c> talking</c><00:34:00.890><c> about</c><00:34:01.130><c> the</c><00:34:01.390><c> me</c><00:34:01.630><c> there.</c>

00:34:02.690 --> 00:34:07.690
That<00:34:03.029><c> in</c><00:34:03.250><c> me,</c><00:34:03.650><c> that</c><00:34:03.809><c> is</c><00:34:03.950><c> in</c><00:34:04.130><c> my</c><00:34:04.430><c> flesh,</c><00:34:05.750><c> dwelleth</c><00:34:06.109><c> no</c><00:34:06.509><c> good</c><00:34:06.809><c> thing.</c>

00:34:08.329 --> 00:34:10.230
Now,<00:34:08.510><c> there's</c><00:34:08.750><c> no</c><00:34:08.989><c> inherent</c><00:34:09.409><c> goodness</c><00:34:09.730><c> in</c><00:34:09.909><c> the</c><00:34:10.110><c> flesh.</c>

00:34:10.369 --> 00:34:12.230
We<00:34:10.429><c> don't</c><00:34:10.989><c> follow</c><00:34:11.349><c> the</c><00:34:11.550><c> line</c><00:34:11.730><c> of</c><00:34:11.989><c> reasoning</c>

00:34:12.230 --> 00:34:14.409
which<00:34:12.550><c> says</c><00:34:12.849><c> that</c><00:34:13.349><c> man</c><00:34:13.510><c> is</c><00:34:13.829><c> inherently</c><00:34:14.170><c> good.</c>

00:34:14.469 --> 00:34:16.269
You've<00:34:14.610><c> only</c><00:34:14.769><c> got</c><00:34:14.909><c> to</c><00:34:15.090><c> find</c><00:34:15.250><c> the</c><00:34:15.449><c> goodness</c><00:34:15.670><c> in</c><00:34:15.809><c> him</c><00:34:15.949><c> and</c><00:34:16.130><c> draw</c>

00:34:16.269 --> 00:34:16.829
it<00:34:16.449><c> out</c>

00:34:16.829 --> 00:34:18.630
and<00:34:17.170><c> then</c><00:34:17.269><c> he</c><00:34:17.349><c> can</c><00:34:17.449><c> be</c><00:34:17.670><c> good.</c>

00:34:18.929 --> 00:34:20.309
That's<00:34:19.510><c> wrong.</c>

00:34:20.349 --> 00:34:23.590
In<00:34:20.630><c> the</c><00:34:20.889><c> flesh,</c><00:34:21.929><c> the</c><00:34:22.210><c> propensities</c><00:34:22.829><c> of</c><00:34:23.010><c> the</c><00:34:23.250><c> flesh</c>

00:34:28.949 --> 00:34:29.809
Look<00:34:29.110><c> after</c><00:34:29.449><c> yourself.</c>

00:34:29.869 --> 00:34:31.170
Be<00:34:30.190><c> selfish.</c>

00:34:31.789 --> 00:34:32.769
Sin.

00:34:33.309 --> 00:34:36.150
In<00:34:33.309><c> me,</c><00:34:33.690><c> in</c><00:34:33.949><c> my</c><00:34:34.190><c> flesh</c><00:34:34.610><c> dwells</c><00:34:35.289><c> no</c><00:34:35.469><c> good</c><00:34:35.710><c> thing.</c>

00:34:39.010 --> 00:34:42.010
But<00:34:39.150><c> how</c><00:34:39.369><c> to</c><00:34:39.530><c> perform</c><00:34:39.849><c> that</c><00:34:40.070><c> which</c><00:34:40.250><c> is</c><00:34:40.469><c> good</c><00:34:40.570><c> I</c><00:34:40.809><c> find</c><00:34:41.090><c> not.</c>

00:34:42.190 --> 00:34:46.329
For<00:34:42.409><c> the</c><00:34:42.650><c> good</c><00:34:43.070><c> that</c><00:34:43.690><c> I</c><00:34:43.969><c> would,</c><00:34:45.050><c> I</c><00:34:45.230><c> do</c><00:34:45.429><c> not.</c>

00:34:46.469 --> 00:34:49.510
But<00:34:46.670><c> the</c><00:34:46.929><c> evil</c><00:34:47.090><c> which</c><00:34:47.329><c> I</c><00:34:47.570><c> would</c><00:34:47.809><c> not,</c><00:34:48.610><c> that</c><00:34:48.809><c> I</c><00:34:49.269><c> do.</c>

00:34:49.730 --> 00:34:51.570
There<00:34:49.949><c> are</c><00:34:50.150><c> different</c><00:34:50.449><c> words</c><00:34:50.750><c> for</c><00:34:50.909><c> do</c><00:34:51.170><c> through</c><00:34:51.429><c> here</c>

00:34:51.570 --> 00:34:53.570
but<00:34:51.670><c> we</c><00:34:51.829><c> won't</c><00:34:51.989><c> go</c><00:34:52.190><c> into</c><00:34:52.349><c> that</c><00:34:52.590><c> this</c><00:34:52.809><c> morning.</c>

00:34:53.829 --> 00:34:57.670
Now,<00:34:53.989><c> if</c><00:34:54.170><c> I</c><00:34:54.429><c> do</c><00:34:54.610><c> that</c><00:34:54.809><c> I</c><00:34:54.969><c> would</c><00:34:55.230><c> not,</c><00:34:56.369><c> it</c><00:34:56.530><c> is</c><00:34:56.750><c> no</c><00:34:56.989><c> more</c><00:34:57.210><c> I</c><00:34:57.510><c> that</c>

00:34:57.670 --> 00:34:58.289
do<00:34:57.849><c> it.</c>

00:34:58.610 --> 00:34:59.630
Did<00:34:58.670><c> you</c><00:34:58.789><c> say,</c><00:34:58.949><c> but</c><00:34:59.030><c> it</c><00:34:59.210><c> is</c><00:34:59.389><c> him.</c>

00:34:59.630 --> 00:35:00.690
Now,<00:35:00.289><c> wait</c><00:35:00.389><c> a</c><00:35:00.489><c> minute.</c>

00:35:00.730 --> 00:35:02.210
Don't<00:35:01.050><c> lose</c><00:35:01.309><c> track</c><00:35:01.550><c> of</c><00:35:01.710><c> the</c><00:35:01.929><c> argument.</c>

00:35:02.469 --> 00:35:04.650
The<00:35:02.690><c> I</c><00:35:02.969><c> is</c><00:35:03.309><c> the</c><00:35:03.949><c> man</c><00:35:04.090><c> of</c><00:35:04.230><c> the</c><00:35:04.429><c> spirit.</c>

00:35:04.869 --> 00:35:07.150
The<00:35:05.070><c> mind</c><00:35:05.369><c> which</c><00:35:05.610><c> says</c><00:35:05.809><c> I</c><00:35:06.010><c> love</c><00:35:06.269><c> God.</c>

00:35:07.610 --> 00:35:09.369
So<00:35:07.750><c> he</c><00:35:07.829><c> says</c><00:35:07.969><c> if</c><00:35:08.190><c> I'm</c><00:35:08.429><c> doing</c><00:35:08.690><c> the</c><00:35:08.909><c> wrong</c><00:35:09.090><c> thing,</c>

00:35:09.610 --> 00:35:15.110
it's<00:35:09.909><c> no</c><00:35:10.150><c> more</c><00:35:10.469><c> I</c><00:35:10.989><c> that</c><00:35:11.190><c> do</c><00:35:11.389><c> it</c><00:35:12.250><c> but</c><00:35:13.329><c> sin</c><00:35:13.670><c> that</c><00:35:13.989><c> dwelleth</c><00:35:14.289><c> in</c><00:35:14.690><c> me.</c>

00:35:15.489 --> 00:35:18.409
See<00:35:15.710><c> the</c><00:35:15.909><c> idea</c><00:35:16.289><c> of</c><00:35:16.849><c> the</c><00:35:17.030><c> I</c><00:35:17.309><c> and</c><00:35:17.510><c> the</c><00:35:17.670><c> me</c><00:35:17.809><c> coming</c><00:35:18.110><c> there.</c>

00:35:18.869 --> 00:35:20.889
So<00:35:19.110><c> he</c><00:35:19.250><c> says</c><00:35:19.409><c> I</c><00:35:19.590><c> find</c><00:35:19.909><c> in</c><00:35:20.070><c> a</c><00:35:20.190><c> law.</c>

So<00:36:29.369><c> let's</c><00:36:29.690><c> summarize</c><00:36:30.150><c> it</c><00:36:30.369><c> in</c><00:36:30.530><c> these</c><00:36:30.750><c> words.</c>

00:36:32.769 --> 00:36:37.070
Intellectually<00:36:33.610><c> he</c><00:36:34.590><c> aspires</c><00:36:35.510><c> to</c><00:36:35.889><c> godliness.</c>

00:36:37.730 --> 00:36:41.829
Physically<00:36:38.389><c> he</c><00:36:39.510><c> inclines</c><00:36:40.150><c> to</c><00:36:40.710><c> lawlessness.</c>

00:36:42.909 --> 00:36:47.570
But<00:36:43.110><c> he</c><00:36:43.250><c> could</c><00:36:43.510><c> say</c><00:36:43.989><c> I</c><00:36:44.889><c> delight</c><00:36:45.469><c> in</c><00:36:46.309><c> the</c><00:36:46.590><c> law</c><00:36:46.849><c> of</c><00:36:47.130><c> God</c>

00:36:47.570 --> 00:36:49.690
after<00:36:48.550><c> the</c><00:36:49.010><c> inward</c><00:36:49.289><c> man.</c>

00:36:50.110 --> 00:36:53.690
So<00:36:50.329><c> the</c><00:36:50.570><c> inward</c><00:36:50.909><c> man</c><00:36:51.150><c> or</c><00:36:51.610><c> the</c><00:36:52.110><c> mind</c><00:36:52.409><c> of</c><00:36:52.590><c> the</c><00:36:52.809><c> spirit</c>

00:36:54.289 --> 00:36:58.449
finds<00:36:54.769><c> delight</c><00:36:55.250><c> in</c><00:36:55.429><c> God's</c><00:36:55.889><c> law</c><00:36:56.289><c> but</c><00:36:57.150><c> has</c><00:36:57.409><c> to</c><00:36:57.750><c> contend</c>

00:36:58.449 --> 00:37:03.489
against<00:36:58.989><c> another</c><00:36:59.449><c> law</c><00:36:59.889><c> which</c><00:37:00.429><c> he</c><00:37:00.670><c> says</c><00:37:00.989><c> I</c><00:37:01.510><c> find</c><00:37:02.010><c> in</c><00:37:02.230><c> my</c><00:37:02.489><c> members.</c>

00:37:04.730 --> 00:37:08.210
Well<00:37:04.869><c> down</c><00:37:05.030><c> to</c><00:37:05.210><c> verse</c><00:37:05.389><c> 23</c><00:37:06.269><c> basically</c><00:37:07.210><c> all</c><00:37:07.550><c> Paul</c><00:37:07.789><c> has</c><00:37:08.010><c> done</c>

00:37:08.210 --> 00:37:10.349
is<00:37:08.489><c> to</c><00:37:08.730><c> remind</c><00:37:08.929><c> us</c><00:37:09.110><c> of</c><00:37:09.250><c> our</c><00:37:09.409><c> problem.</c>

00:37:10.550 --> 00:37:11.929
And<00:37:10.670><c> if</c><00:37:10.750><c> we</c><00:37:10.869><c> were</c><00:37:10.949><c> to</c><00:37:11.070><c> sit</c><00:37:11.210><c> down</c><00:37:11.389><c> at</c><00:37:11.550><c> this</c><00:37:11.769><c> stage</c>

00:37:11.929 --> 00:37:15.190
it<00:37:12.030><c> would</c><00:37:12.210><c> be</c><00:37:12.349><c> a</c><00:37:12.469><c> rather</c><00:37:12.949><c> despondent</c><00:37:13.630><c> ending</c><00:37:13.949><c> to</c><00:37:14.329><c> a</c><00:37:14.449><c> series</c><00:37:14.670><c> of</c><00:37:14.929><c> talks</c>

00:37:15.190 --> 00:37:18.230
on<00:37:15.690><c> what</c><00:37:15.829><c> is</c><00:37:16.030><c> meant</c><00:37:16.130><c> to</c><00:37:16.289><c> be</c><00:37:16.409><c> a</c><00:37:16.530><c> most</c><00:37:16.730><c> uplifting</c><00:37:17.150><c> subject.</c>

00:37:19.110 --> 00:37:21.949
But<00:37:19.289><c> let's</c><00:37:19.469><c> pick</c><00:37:19.630><c> it</c><00:37:19.769><c> up</c><00:37:20.269><c> from</c><00:37:20.510><c> verse</c><00:37:20.750><c> 24</c>

00:37:22.010 --> 00:37:25.550
which<00:37:22.349><c> flows</c><00:37:22.969><c> through</c><00:37:23.789><c> into</c><00:37:24.550><c> chapter</c><00:37:24.949><c> 8.</c>

00:37:25.789 --> 00:37:29.329
Once<00:37:26.030><c> again</c><00:37:26.309><c> the</c><00:37:26.590><c> chapter</c><00:37:26.909><c> division</c><00:37:27.429><c> is</c><00:37:28.010><c> not</c><00:37:28.309><c> helpful.</c>

00:37:29.869 --> 00:37:32.050
Now<00:37:30.070><c> again</c><00:37:30.630><c> it's</c><00:37:31.110><c> Romans.</c>

00:37:32.550 --> 00:37:36.590
The<00:37:32.690><c> verses</c><00:37:33.090><c> must</c><00:37:33.389><c> be</c><00:37:33.690><c> understood</c><00:37:34.170><c> in</c><00:37:34.449><c> the</c><00:37:34.769><c> context</c><00:37:35.309><c> of</c><00:37:35.710><c> Romans.</c>

00:37:36.610 --> 00:37:38.889
We're<00:37:36.809><c> not</c><00:37:36.949><c> going</c><00:37:37.070><c> to</c><00:37:37.210><c> pick</c><00:37:37.349><c> out</c><00:37:37.590><c> Romans</c><00:37:37.889><c> chapter</c><00:37:38.190><c> 8</c><00:37:38.449><c> verse</c><00:37:38.690><c> 1</c>

00:37:38.889 --> 00:37:40.250
like<00:37:39.090><c> the</c><00:37:39.289><c> Pentecostal</c><00:37:39.889><c> and</c><00:37:40.030><c> says</c>

00:37:40.250 --> 00:37:42.550
there's<00:37:40.750><c> no</c><00:37:41.090><c> condemnation</c><00:37:41.650><c> to</c><00:37:41.789><c> those</c><00:37:41.989><c> who</c><00:37:42.070><c> are</c><00:37:42.190><c> in</c><00:37:42.349><c> Christ.</c>

00:37:42.590 --> 00:37:45.050
Are<00:37:42.690><c> you</c><00:37:42.829><c> in</c><00:37:43.030><c> Christ?</c><00:37:43.730><c> Are</c><00:37:43.869><c> you</c><00:37:44.110><c> saved?</c>

00:37:45.309 --> 00:37:47.730
It's<00:37:45.769><c> Romans</c><00:37:46.050><c> we're</c><00:37:46.289><c> talking</c><00:37:46.590><c> about.</c>

00:37:47.929 --> 00:37:52.369
The<00:37:48.230><c> background</c><00:37:48.630><c> of</c><00:37:48.769><c> these</c><00:37:49.030><c> chapters</c><00:37:49.389><c> has</c><00:37:49.730><c> been</c><00:37:50.550><c> two</c><00:37:51.130><c> federal</c><00:37:51.769><c> heads</c>

00:37:52.369 --> 00:37:54.570
Adam<00:37:52.929><c> and</c><00:37:53.269><c> Christ.</c>

00:37:55.489 --> 00:37:56.809
You're<00:37:55.610><c> born</c><00:37:55.750><c> in</c><00:37:55.989><c> Adam.</c>

00:37:56.969 --> 00:37:59.170
What<00:37:57.090><c> blessings</c><00:37:57.550><c> are</c><00:37:57.849><c> there</c><00:37:57.989><c> in</c><00:37:58.170><c> Adam?</c>

00:38:00.510 --> 00:38:01.309
Condemnation.

00:38:02.130 --> 00:38:05.269
What<00:38:02.269><c> disadvantages</c><00:38:03.090><c> are</c><00:38:03.429><c> there</c><00:38:03.730><c> in</c><00:38:03.889><c> being</c><00:38:04.090><c> in</c><00:38:04.289><c> Christ?</c>

00:38:06.369 --> 00:38:09.670
None<00:38:06.969><c> because</c><00:38:07.570><c> there's</c><00:38:07.989><c> no</c><00:38:08.289><c> condemnation.</c>

00:38:09.750 --> 00:38:10.730
Doesn't<00:38:09.909><c> mean</c><00:38:10.050><c> we'll</c><00:38:10.190><c> never</c><00:38:10.429><c> die.</c>

00:38:10.829 --> 00:38:12.630
Doesn't<00:38:10.989><c> mean</c><00:38:11.170><c> we're</c><00:38:11.409><c> guaranteed</c><00:38:11.730><c> a</c><00:38:11.969><c> place</c><00:38:12.090><c> in</c><00:38:12.269><c> the</c><00:38:12.409><c> kingdom.</c>

00:38:12.869 --> 00:38:14.590
It's<00:38:13.329><c> contrasting</c><00:38:13.789><c> Adam</c><00:38:13.989><c> and</c><00:38:14.190><c> Christ.</c>

00:38:14.809 --> 00:38:16.170
Adam<00:38:15.110><c> is</c><00:38:15.429><c> condemnation.</c>

00:38:16.170 --> 00:38:17.949
What's<00:38:16.670><c> the</c><00:38:16.829><c> opposite</c><00:38:17.090><c> to</c><00:38:17.409><c> condemnation?</c>

00:38:18.210 --> 00:38:19.750
No<00:38:18.409><c> condemnation.</c>

00:38:19.849 --> 00:38:21.449
So<00:38:20.250><c> let's</c><00:38:20.769><c> bear</c><00:38:20.929><c> that</c><00:38:21.130><c> in</c><00:38:21.289><c> mind.</c>

00:38:21.469 --> 00:38:24.530
This<00:38:21.650><c> is</c><00:38:21.849><c> the</c><00:38:22.010><c> context</c><00:38:22.429><c> of</c><00:38:22.969><c> this</c><00:38:23.150><c> section</c><00:38:23.429><c> of</c><00:38:23.670><c> Romans.</c>

00:38:24.550 --> 00:38:26.769
Verse<00:38:24.829><c> 24</c><00:38:25.429><c> of</c><00:38:25.650><c> chapter</c><00:38:25.969><c> 7.</c>

00:38:27.750 --> 00:38:29.929
Oh,<00:38:28.190><c> Richard</c><00:38:28.489><c> man</c><00:38:28.750><c> that</c><00:38:28.929><c> I</c><00:38:29.130><c> am,</c>

00:38:30.409 --> 00:38:35.050
who<00:38:30.809><c> shall</c><00:38:31.090><c> deliver</c><00:38:31.469><c> me</c><00:38:32.329><c> from</c><00:38:32.929><c> this</c><00:38:33.670><c> body</c><00:38:33.969><c> of</c><00:38:34.230><c> death?</c>

00:38:35.809 --> 00:38:38.769
So<00:38:36.409><c> he's</c><00:38:37.010><c> experiencing</c><00:38:37.530><c> the</c><00:38:37.809><c> propensities,</c><00:38:38.429><c> isn't</c><00:38:38.630><c> he?</c>

00:38:38.809 --> 00:38:40.469
The<00:38:38.989><c> propensities.</c>

00:38:41.510 --> 00:38:45.610
The<00:38:41.750><c> me,</c><00:38:43.150><c> the</c><00:38:43.369><c> thing</c><00:38:43.610><c> that</c><00:38:43.949><c> inclines</c><00:38:44.329><c> to</c><00:38:44.590><c> lawlessness.</c>

00:38:46.170 --> 00:38:48.789
Well,<00:38:46.489><c> he</c><00:38:46.650><c> says,</c><00:38:47.050><c> how</c><00:38:47.250><c> am</c><00:38:47.489><c> I</c><00:38:47.489><c> going</c><00:38:47.590><c> to</c><00:38:47.710><c> be</c><00:38:47.909><c> delivered?</c>

00:38:49.070 --> 00:38:53.170
I<00:38:49.449><c> thank</c><00:38:49.710><c> God</c><00:38:50.289><c> through</c><00:38:51.250><c> Jesus</c><00:38:51.730><c> Christ</c><00:38:52.090><c> our</c><00:38:52.309><c> Lord.</c>

00:38:53.329 --> 00:38:56.409
Whilst<00:38:53.530><c> we</c><00:38:53.730><c> haven't</c><00:38:53.929><c> been</c><00:38:54.130><c> able</c><00:38:54.289><c> to</c><00:38:54.369><c> look</c><00:38:54.630><c> extensively</c><00:38:55.130><c> at</c><00:38:55.630><c> Romans</c><00:38:55.949><c> 3,</c>

00:38:56.409 --> 00:38:58.409
4,<00:38:56.829><c> 5,</c><00:38:57.210><c> 6,</c><00:38:57.530><c> 7.</c>

00:38:58.690 --> 00:39:01.670
We<00:38:58.809><c> know,</c><00:38:59.010><c> of</c><00:38:59.190><c> course,</c><00:38:59.369><c> that's</c><00:38:59.730><c> the</c><00:38:59.869><c> subject</c><00:39:00.190><c> of</c><00:39:00.389><c> the</c><00:39:00.570><c> atonement,</c><00:39:00.929><c> isn't</c><00:39:01.150><c> it?</c>

00:39:01.969 --> 00:39:04.530
That<00:39:02.170><c> God</c><00:39:02.389><c> has</c><00:39:02.730><c> provided</c><00:39:03.210><c> the</c><00:39:03.429><c> Lord</c><00:39:03.630><c> Jesus</c><00:39:04.050><c> Christ.</c>

00:39:04.989 --> 00:39:08.030
We've<00:39:05.309><c> had</c><00:39:05.570><c> righteousness</c><00:39:06.469><c> accounted</c><00:39:07.309><c> unto</c><00:39:07.630><c> us.</c>

00:39:08.230 --> 00:39:09.949
Now<00:39:08.469><c> it's</c><00:39:08.710><c> got</c><00:39:08.809><c> to</c><00:39:08.969><c> be</c><00:39:09.110><c> seen</c><00:39:09.230><c> in</c><00:39:09.469><c> real</c><00:39:09.610><c> terms.</c>

00:39:10.329 --> 00:39:11.889
And<00:39:10.690><c> God</c><00:39:11.090><c> can</c><00:39:11.389><c> do</c><00:39:11.590><c> it.</c>

00:39:12.269 --> 00:39:14.650
He<00:39:12.570><c> wants</c><00:39:12.889><c> to</c><00:39:13.070><c> do</c><00:39:13.170><c> it</c><00:39:13.309><c> as</c><00:39:13.750><c> the</c><00:39:14.190><c> builder.</c>

00:39:14.650 --> 00:39:16.610
He<00:39:15.130><c> wants</c><00:39:15.429><c> to</c><00:39:15.630><c> shape</c><00:39:15.869><c> us.</c>

00:39:17.630 --> 00:39:20.170
You<00:39:17.650><c> know,</c><00:39:17.809><c> if</c><00:39:17.909><c> we</c><00:39:18.110><c> were</c><00:39:18.230><c> to</c><00:39:18.369><c> give</c><00:39:18.550><c> feelings</c><00:39:18.949><c> to</c><00:39:19.190><c> a</c><00:39:19.389><c> stone,</c>

00:39:20.349 --> 00:39:21.630
I<00:39:20.389><c> don't</c><00:39:20.610><c> think</c><00:39:20.789><c> stones</c><00:39:21.090><c> have</c><00:39:21.349><c> feelings.</c>

00:39:21.690 --> 00:39:23.289
Some<00:39:21.889><c> people</c><00:39:22.110><c> say</c><00:39:22.329><c> plants</c><00:39:22.650><c> have</c><00:39:22.929><c> feelings.</c>

00:39:23.510 --> 00:39:24.150
I<00:39:23.670><c> don't</c><00:39:23.869><c> know.</c>

00:39:24.590 --> 00:39:27.269
But<00:39:24.829><c> let's</c><00:39:25.170><c> imagine</c><00:39:25.550><c> a</c><00:39:25.809><c> stone</c><00:39:26.050><c> had</c><00:39:26.250><c> feelings.</c>

00:39:27.969 --> 00:39:29.909
It<00:39:28.110><c> wouldn't</c><00:39:28.309><c> be</c><00:39:28.469><c> very</c><00:39:28.849><c> pleasant,</c><00:39:29.389><c> would</c><00:39:29.449><c> it?</c>

00:39:30.130 --> 00:39:33.710
For<00:39:30.269><c> that</c><00:39:30.469><c> stone</c><00:39:30.650><c> to</c><00:39:30.809><c> be</c><00:39:31.030><c> shaped</c><00:39:31.289><c> and</c><00:39:31.630><c> chipped</c><00:39:32.170><c> and</c><00:39:32.849><c> cut.</c>

00:39:33.929 --> 00:39:35.090
It<00:39:34.110><c> hurts.</c>

00:39:36.030 --> 00:39:40.269
And<00:39:36.309><c> so</c><00:39:36.510><c> does</c><00:39:36.769><c> God</c><00:39:37.070><c> working</c><00:39:37.389><c> in</c><00:39:37.570><c> our</c><00:39:37.769><c> life</c><00:39:38.130><c> on</c><00:39:38.869><c> many</c><00:39:39.070><c> occasions.</c>

00:39:41.190 --> 00:39:42.869
We<00:39:41.550><c> have</c><00:39:41.710><c> to</c><00:39:41.849><c> be</c><00:39:42.090><c> shaped.</c>

00:39:43.010 --> 00:39:45.289
We<00:39:43.289><c> have</c><00:39:43.590><c> to</c><00:39:43.769><c> submit</c><00:39:44.210><c> ourselves</c><00:39:44.789><c> to</c><00:39:44.929><c> God.</c>

00:39:45.530 --> 00:39:48.789
When<00:39:45.690><c> a</c><00:39:45.929><c> problem</c><00:39:46.230><c> is</c><00:39:46.489><c> there,</c><00:39:47.429><c> don't</c><00:39:47.630><c> run</c><00:39:47.829><c> away</c><00:39:48.090><c> from</c><00:39:48.269><c> it.</c>

00:39:49.230 --> 00:39:51.010
Don't<00:39:49.489><c> try</c><00:39:49.730><c> to</c><00:39:50.030><c> barge</c><00:39:50.369><c> your</c><00:39:50.469><c> way</c><00:39:50.630><c> through</c><00:39:50.849><c> it</c>

00:39:51.010 --> 00:39:53.170
and<00:39:51.130><c> fight</c><00:39:51.389><c> through</c><00:39:51.590><c> it</c><00:39:51.690><c> with</c><00:39:51.809><c> the</c><00:39:52.070><c> strength</c><00:39:52.250><c> of</c><00:39:52.489><c> the</c><00:39:52.809><c> flesh.</c>

00:39:53.449 --> 00:39:55.070
Don't<00:39:53.710><c> try</c><00:39:53.909><c> to</c><00:39:54.110><c> run</c><00:39:54.250><c> around</c><00:39:54.570><c> it.</c>

00:39:55.289 --> 00:39:57.250
Don't<00:39:55.630><c> sweep</c><00:39:55.909><c> it</c><00:39:56.090><c> under</c><00:39:56.250><c> the</c><00:39:56.449><c> carpet.</c>

00:39:57.849 --> 00:39:59.869
You<00:39:57.889><c> know,</c><00:39:58.010><c> what</c><00:39:58.210><c> could</c><00:39:58.429><c> Moses</c><00:39:58.769><c> do</c><00:39:58.969><c> when</c><00:39:59.090><c> he</c><00:39:59.210><c> was</c><00:39:59.349><c> standing</c><00:39:59.610><c> on</c>

00:39:59.869 --> 00:40:01.170
the<00:40:00.210><c> borders</c><00:40:00.449><c> of</c><00:40:00.650><c> the</c><00:40:00.750><c> Red</c><00:40:00.989><c> Sea</c>

00:40:01.170 --> 00:40:03.030
and<00:40:01.309><c> he</c><00:40:01.409><c> had</c><00:40:01.449><c> the</c><00:40:01.650><c> mountains</c><00:40:01.929><c> on</c><00:40:02.170><c> both</c><00:40:02.449><c> sides,</c>

00:40:03.309 --> 00:40:05.889
Pharaoh<00:40:03.429><c> behind</c><00:40:03.869><c> him</c><00:40:04.150><c> and</c><00:40:04.349><c> the</c><00:40:04.550><c> water</c><00:40:04.710><c> in</c><00:40:04.929><c> front</c><00:40:05.050><c> of</c><00:40:05.150><c> him.</c>

00:40:06.670 --> 00:40:10.329
Stand<00:40:07.030><c> still</c><00:40:07.489><c> and</c><00:40:08.329><c> see</c><00:40:08.510><c> the</c><00:40:08.690><c> salvation</c><00:40:09.190><c> of</c><00:40:09.429><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:40:11.090 --> 00:40:13.630
And<00:40:11.510><c> there's</c><00:40:11.750><c> a</c><00:40:11.929><c> sense</c><00:40:12.050><c> in</c><00:40:12.210><c> which</c><00:40:12.369><c> that's</c><00:40:12.690><c> got</c><00:40:12.829><c> to</c><00:40:13.010><c> apply</c><00:40:13.230><c> today.</c>

00:40:14.090 --> 00:40:17.110
I<00:40:14.170><c> say</c><00:40:14.389><c> a</c><00:40:14.590><c> sense</c><00:40:14.769><c> because</c><00:40:15.070><c> we</c><00:40:15.269><c> don't</c><00:40:15.510><c> stand</c><00:40:15.829><c> still</c><00:40:16.010><c> and</c><00:40:16.210><c> do</c><00:40:16.349><c> nothing.</c>

00:40:17.349 --> 00:40:19.329
It's<00:40:17.550><c> a</c><00:40:17.550><c> bit</c><00:40:17.769><c> perhaps</c><00:40:17.989><c> more</c><00:40:18.190><c> like</c><00:40:18.489><c> Nehemiah</c><00:40:18.989><c> who</c><00:40:19.190><c> said,</c>

00:40:19.369 --> 00:40:20.650
right,<00:40:19.530><c> we're</c><00:40:19.809><c> going</c><00:40:19.849><c> to</c><00:40:19.989><c> build</c><00:40:20.150><c> the</c><00:40:20.369><c> wall.</c>

00:40:20.889 --> 00:40:22.570
But<00:40:20.989><c> I'm</c><00:40:21.130><c> going</c><00:40:21.210><c> to</c><00:40:21.349><c> take</c><00:40:21.510><c> a</c><00:40:21.690><c> sword</c><00:40:21.849><c> in</c><00:40:22.030><c> one</c><00:40:22.289><c> hand</c>

00:40:22.570 --> 00:40:25.289
as<00:40:23.070><c> well</c><00:40:23.289><c> as</c><00:40:23.489><c> the</c><00:40:24.130><c> trowel</c><00:40:24.349><c> in</c><00:40:24.429><c> the</c><00:40:24.630><c> other</c><00:40:24.849><c> hand.</c>

00:40:25.690 --> 00:40:27.070
And<00:40:25.889><c> we</c><00:40:26.030><c> do</c><00:40:26.230><c> that.</c>

00:40:27.250 --> 00:40:28.329
We<00:40:27.389><c> have</c><00:40:27.570><c> to</c><00:40:27.730><c> make</c><00:40:27.869><c> up</c><00:40:28.030><c> our</c><00:40:28.210><c> mind.</c>

00:40:28.349 --> 00:40:30.030
We're<00:40:28.590><c> going</c><00:40:28.690><c> to</c><00:40:28.869><c> make</c><00:40:29.050><c> a</c><00:40:29.250><c> move.</c>

00:40:30.329 --> 00:40:33.150
We're<00:40:30.489><c> not</c><00:40:30.909><c> sure</c><00:40:31.389><c> whether</c><00:40:31.710><c> it's</c><00:40:31.889><c> the</c><00:40:32.090><c> right</c><00:40:32.329><c> move.</c>

00:40:33.230 --> 00:40:35.969
We'll<00:40:33.329><c> be</c><00:40:33.449><c> like</c><00:40:33.730><c> David,</c><00:40:33.949><c> take</c><00:40:34.289><c> six</c><00:40:34.610><c> paces</c><00:40:34.949><c> and</c><00:40:35.230><c> wait.</c>

00:40:36.469 --> 00:40:37.969
And<00:40:36.690><c> ask</c><00:40:36.929><c> God</c><00:40:37.190><c> to</c><00:40:37.469><c> direct</c><00:40:37.710><c> us.</c>

00:40:37.969 --> 00:40:40.289
We<00:40:38.329><c> don't</c><00:40:38.610><c> know</c><00:40:38.869><c> how</c><00:40:39.050><c> the</c><00:40:39.190><c> hand</c><00:40:39.409><c> of</c><00:40:39.630><c> providence</c><00:40:39.889><c> will</c><00:40:40.130><c> work,</c>

00:40:40.329 --> 00:40:41.969
but<00:40:40.449><c> it</c><00:40:40.650><c> will</c><00:40:40.969><c> work.</c>

00:40:42.710 --> 00:40:45.869
And<00:40:42.789><c> so</c><00:40:42.909><c> he</c><00:40:43.010><c> says,</c><00:40:43.269><c> I</c><00:40:43.269><c> thank</c><00:40:43.590><c> God</c><00:40:44.230><c> that</c><00:40:44.550><c> through</c><00:40:44.889><c> Jesus</c><00:40:45.349><c> Christ</c>

00:40:45.869 --> 00:40:47.150
our<00:40:46.230><c> Lord,</c>

00:40:47.389 --> 00:40:49.070
I<00:40:47.670><c> have</c><00:40:47.809><c> this</c><00:40:48.050><c> means</c><00:40:48.230><c> of</c><00:40:48.469><c> salvation.</c>

00:40:49.570 --> 00:40:52.530
So<00:40:49.769><c> he</c><00:40:49.929><c> comes</c><00:40:50.170><c> to</c><00:40:50.369><c> this</c><00:40:50.590><c> conclusion</c><00:40:51.170><c> in</c><00:40:51.650><c> which</c><00:40:51.989><c> will</c><00:40:52.329><c> flow</c>

00:40:52.530 --> 00:40:55.050
straight<00:40:53.010><c> into</c><00:40:53.329><c> chapter</c><00:40:53.869><c> eight.</c>

00:40:55.150 --> 00:40:59.869
So<00:40:55.349><c> then</c><00:40:55.670><c> with</c><00:40:55.909><c> the</c><00:40:56.210><c> mind,</c><00:40:57.489><c> I</c><00:40:57.710><c> myself</c><00:40:58.150><c> serve</c><00:40:58.389><c> the</c><00:40:58.610><c> law</c><00:40:58.750><c> of</c><00:40:59.010><c> God,</c>

00:41:00.329 --> 00:41:02.969
but<00:41:00.489><c> with</c><00:41:00.710><c> the</c><00:41:01.010><c> flesh,</c><00:41:01.429><c> the</c><00:41:01.570><c> law</c><00:41:01.730><c> of</c><00:41:02.030><c> sin,</c>

00:41:03.110 --> 00:41:07.130
there<00:41:03.449><c> is</c><00:41:03.869><c> therefore</c><00:41:04.389><c> now</c><00:41:04.769><c> no</c><00:41:05.130><c> condemnation</c><00:41:06.329><c> to</c><00:41:06.650><c> them</c><00:41:06.849><c> which</c>

00:41:07.130 --> 00:41:08.949
are<00:41:07.250><c> in</c><00:41:07.469><c> Christ</c><00:41:07.750><c> Jesus.</c>

00:41:11.130 --> 00:41:13.150
Now,<00:41:11.309><c> there's</c><00:41:11.570><c> doubts</c><00:41:11.730><c> about</c><00:41:12.110><c> whether</c><00:41:12.329><c> the</c><00:41:12.570><c> latter</c><00:41:12.690><c> part</c><00:41:12.969><c> of</c>

00:41:13.150 --> 00:41:14.289
that<00:41:13.389><c> verse</c>

00:41:14.309 --> 00:41:16.929
is<00:41:14.670><c> in</c><00:41:15.070><c> respectable</c><00:41:15.610><c> manuscripts</c><00:41:16.210><c> or</c><00:41:16.510><c> not.</c>

00:41:17.210 --> 00:41:20.530
But<00:41:17.429><c> frankly,</c><00:41:17.730><c> it</c><00:41:17.889><c> doesn't</c><00:41:18.250><c> matter</c><00:41:18.550><c> because</c><00:41:19.289><c> it</c><00:41:20.030><c> gets</c><00:41:20.309><c> picked</c>

00:41:20.530 --> 00:41:22.610
up<00:41:20.809><c> again</c><00:41:21.550><c> in</c><00:41:22.070><c> verse</c><00:41:22.349><c> four.</c>

00:41:22.670 --> 00:41:24.530
Anyway,<00:41:23.610><c> the</c><00:41:23.750><c> idea</c><00:41:24.090><c> is</c><00:41:24.369><c> there.</c>

00:41:24.789 --> 00:41:27.230
But<00:41:24.989><c> essentially,</c><00:41:26.010><c> in</c><00:41:26.030><c> the</c><00:41:26.250><c> first</c><00:41:26.590><c> instance,</c>

00:41:27.550 --> 00:41:30.269
in<00:41:27.670><c> the</c><00:41:27.949><c> first</c><00:41:28.210><c> instance,</c><00:41:28.789><c> Paul</c><00:41:28.969><c> is</c><00:41:29.289><c> telling</c><00:41:29.489><c> us</c>

00:41:38.190 --> 00:41:39.449
That's<00:41:38.289><c> another</c><00:41:38.469><c> one</c><00:41:38.550><c> of</c><00:41:38.570><c> the</c><00:41:38.789><c> stages</c><00:41:39.010><c> where</c><00:41:39.230><c> I</c><00:41:39.269><c> don't</c><00:41:39.349><c> want</c>

because<00:41:41.809><c> that</c><00:41:42.070><c> needs</c><00:41:42.190><c> to</c><00:41:42.369><c> be</c><00:41:42.530><c> qualified,</c><00:41:43.010><c> doesn't</c><00:41:43.250><c> it?</c>

00:41:44.230 --> 00:41:45.809
Needs<00:41:44.550><c> to</c><00:41:44.690><c> be</c><00:41:44.849><c> qualified.</c>

00:41:46.650 --> 00:41:51.449

In<00:41:52.309><c> Christ,</c><00:41:52.769><c> there</c><00:41:52.969><c> is</c><00:41:53.230><c> no</c><00:41:53.610><c> condemnation.</c>

Jesus<00:42:00.610><c> Christ,</c>

00:42:01.389 --> 00:42:04.070

00:42:07.289 --> 00:42:09.789
They<00:42:07.489><c> made</c><00:42:07.690><c> an</c><00:42:07.969><c> absolute</c><00:42:08.349><c> mess</c><00:42:08.570><c> of</c><00:42:08.730><c> their</c><00:42:08.929><c> life,</c>

00:42:09.869 --> 00:42:11.849
but<00:42:09.989><c> they</c><00:42:10.409><c> hated</c><00:42:10.590><c> all</c><00:42:10.849><c> of</c><00:42:10.969><c> the</c><00:42:11.110><c> things</c><00:42:11.230><c> they</c><00:42:11.429><c> did</c><00:42:11.610><c> wrong.</c>

00:42:11.949 --> 00:42:14.090

the<00:45:49.210><c> manifestation</c><00:45:49.869><c> of</c><00:45:50.650><c> the</c><00:45:50.929><c> sons</c><00:45:51.329><c> of</c><00:45:51.510><c> God.</c>

00:45:52.210 --> 00:45:54.289
There's<00:45:52.369><c> a</c><00:45:52.510><c> contrast</c><00:45:52.909><c> here</c><00:45:53.130><c> between</c><00:45:53.449><c> children</c><00:45:53.809><c> and</c><00:45:54.090><c> sons</c>

00:45:54.289 --> 00:45:55.789
which<00:45:54.489><c> I</c><00:45:54.650><c> won't</c><00:45:54.789><c> get</c><00:45:54.989><c> onto.</c>

00:45:56.130 --> 00:45:58.190
When<00:45:56.289><c> we</c><00:45:56.469><c> are</c><00:45:56.610><c> baptized</c><00:45:57.050><c> into</c><00:45:57.250><c> the</c><00:45:57.369><c> law</c><00:45:57.530><c> of</c><00:45:57.690><c> Jesus</c><00:45:57.929><c> Christ,</c>

00:45:58.309 --> 00:46:00.889
we<00:45:58.409><c> come</c><00:45:58.610><c> into</c><00:45:58.789><c> the</c><00:45:58.989><c> family</c><00:45:59.250><c> of</c><00:45:59.449><c> God</c><00:45:59.590><c> as</c><00:45:59.849><c> children.</c>

00:46:00.989 --> 00:46:02.449
Sonship<00:46:01.369><c> is</c><00:46:01.530><c> something</c><00:46:01.789><c> to</c><00:46:01.989><c> be</c><00:46:02.210><c> attained</c>

00:46:02.449 --> 00:46:04.550
as<00:46:02.650><c> it</c><00:46:02.849><c> was</c><00:46:02.949><c> in</c><00:46:03.150><c> the</c><00:46:03.269><c> Jewish</c><00:46:03.510><c> family.</c>

00:46:04.710 --> 00:46:06.070
So<00:46:04.949><c> whilst</c><00:46:05.269><c> we</c><00:46:05.449><c> are</c><00:46:05.670><c> children,</c>

00:46:06.070 --> 00:46:10.429
now<00:46:06.809><c> we</c><00:46:08.070><c> become</c><00:46:08.550><c> in</c><00:46:09.369><c> that</c><00:46:10.210><c> day</c>

00:46:10.429 --> 00:46:13.050
when<00:46:10.670><c> we</c><00:46:10.869><c> have</c><00:46:11.070><c> attained</c><00:46:11.829><c> to</c><00:46:12.289><c> immortality</c>

00:46:13.050 --> 00:46:14.650
in<00:46:13.670><c> the</c><00:46:13.849><c> mercy</c><00:46:14.130><c> of</c><00:46:14.369><c> God.</c>

00:46:14.670 --> 00:46:16.750
So<00:46:14.949><c> we're</c><00:46:15.190><c> waiting</c><00:46:15.530><c> then</c><00:46:15.750><c> for</c><00:46:15.929><c> the</c><00:46:16.210><c> manifestation</c>

00:46:16.750 --> 00:46:19.050
of<00:46:17.070><c> the</c><00:46:17.610><c> sons</c><00:46:17.889><c> of</c><00:46:18.130><c> God.</c>

00:46:19.610 --> 00:46:22.849
And<00:46:19.849><c> follow</c><00:46:20.050><c> the</c><00:46:20.469><c> translation</c><00:46:20.929><c> of</c><00:46:21.090><c> verse</c><00:46:21.269><c> 20</c><00:46:21.710><c> closely.</c>

00:46:23.010 --> 00:46:26.670
For<00:46:23.110><c> the</c><00:46:23.329><c> creation</c><00:46:23.769><c> was</c><00:46:24.070><c> made</c><00:46:24.389><c> subject</c><00:46:24.829><c> to</c><00:46:25.550><c> vanity,</c>

00:46:27.329 --> 00:46:28.389
not<00:46:27.449><c> willingly,</c>

00:46:28.929 --> 00:46:33.829
but<00:46:29.250><c> by</c><00:46:30.630><c> him</c><00:46:31.250><c> who</c><00:46:31.889><c> has</c><00:46:32.230><c> subjected</c><00:46:32.909><c> it</c>

00:46:34.170 --> 00:46:36.909
in<00:46:34.690><c> hope</c><00:46:35.030><c> that</c><00:46:35.550><c> even</c><00:46:35.829><c> the</c><00:46:36.090><c> creation</c><00:46:36.449><c> itself</c>

00:46:36.909 --> 00:46:39.550
shall<00:46:37.130><c> be</c><00:46:37.369><c> delivered</c><00:46:37.630><c> from</c><00:46:37.849><c> the</c><00:46:38.050><c> bondage</c><00:46:38.369><c> of</c><00:46:38.550><c> corruption</c>

00:46:39.650 --> 00:46:42.590
into<00:46:40.050><c> the</c><00:46:40.230><c> liberty</c><00:46:40.469><c> of</c><00:46:40.690><c> the</c><00:46:40.849><c> glory</c><00:46:41.050><c> of</c><00:46:41.230><c> the</c><00:46:41.369><c> children</c><00:46:41.590><c> of</c><00:46:41.829><c> God.</c>

00:46:44.369 --> 00:46:45.469
Now<00:46:44.570><c> guess</c><00:46:44.769><c> what</c><00:46:44.969><c> the</c><00:46:45.170><c> word</c><00:46:45.309><c> is</c>

00:46:45.469 --> 00:46:46.949
that<00:46:45.570><c> we're</c><00:46:45.710><c> going</c><00:46:45.769><c> to</c><00:46:45.869><c> be</c><00:46:46.030><c> picking</c><00:46:46.190><c> up.</c>

00:46:48.269 --> 00:46:50.269
Where<00:46:48.469><c> did</c><00:46:48.570><c> we</c><00:46:48.769><c> start</c><00:46:49.070><c> with</c><00:46:49.429><c> brother</c><00:46:49.630><c> Collins</c><00:46:49.969><c> talk</c>

00:46:50.269 --> 00:46:52.030
on<00:46:50.690><c> Saturday</c><00:46:51.030><c> night?</c>

00:46:52.510 --> 00:46:54.710
We<00:46:52.690><c> are</c><00:46:53.010><c> saved</c><00:46:53.269><c> by</c><00:46:53.889><c> hope.</c>

00:46:55.389 --> 00:46:58.269
We<00:46:55.630><c> are</c><00:46:55.929><c> saved</c><00:46:56.170><c> by</c><00:46:57.090><c> the</c><00:46:57.429><c> hope.</c>

00:46:58.670 --> 00:47:00.650
And<00:46:58.869><c> so</c><00:46:59.070><c> here</c><00:46:59.329><c> in</c><00:46:59.550><c> Romans</c><00:46:59.949><c> chapter</c><00:47:00.369><c> 8,</c>

00:47:00.789 --> 00:47:03.230
he<00:47:00.849><c> says</c><00:47:00.949><c> the</c><00:47:01.170><c> creation</c><00:47:01.590><c> was</c><00:47:01.849><c> made</c><00:47:02.170><c> subject</c>

00:47:03.329 --> 00:47:03.849
to<00:47:03.650><c> vanity.</c>

00:47:04.090 --> 00:47:06.849
That<00:47:04.210><c> was</c><00:47:04.389><c> at</c><00:47:04.570><c> the</c><00:47:04.690><c> time</c><00:47:04.829><c> of</c><00:47:05.010><c> the</c><00:47:05.150><c> foundation</c><00:47:05.590><c> of</c><00:47:05.769><c> the</c><00:47:05.929><c> world.</c>

00:47:07.409 --> 00:47:09.130
Man<00:47:07.670><c> brought</c><00:47:07.949><c> sin</c><00:47:08.170><c> into</c><00:47:08.369><c> the</c><00:47:08.590><c> world.</c>

00:47:09.489 --> 00:47:12.329
God<00:47:09.929><c> brought</c><00:47:10.309><c> the</c><00:47:10.630><c> evil</c><00:47:10.969><c> consequences.</c>

00:47:13.030 --> 00:47:14.730
Now<00:47:13.230><c> we</c><00:47:13.449><c> suffer</c><00:47:13.750><c> those</c><00:47:14.090><c> consequences,</c>

00:47:14.969 --> 00:47:16.809
but<00:47:15.110><c> they</c><00:47:15.269><c> are</c><00:47:15.530><c> there</c><00:47:15.650><c> for</c><00:47:15.849><c> our</c><00:47:16.070><c> good.</c>

00:47:16.909 --> 00:47:19.530
So<00:47:17.250><c> the</c><00:47:17.570><c> creation</c><00:47:17.969><c> was</c><00:47:18.269><c> made</c><00:47:18.570><c> subject</c><00:47:18.949><c> to</c><00:47:19.170><c> this,</c>

00:47:19.530 --> 00:47:24.329
this<00:47:19.929><c> matheiotis</c><00:47:20.829><c> as</c><00:47:21.769><c> the</c><00:47:21.989><c> Greek</c><00:47:22.150><c> word</c><00:47:22.429><c> is</c><00:47:23.050><c> translated</c><00:47:23.849><c> vanity.</c>

00:47:24.550 --> 00:47:26.909
It<00:47:24.550><c> can</c><00:47:24.750><c> mean</c><00:47:25.190><c> emptiness</c><00:47:25.730><c> or</c><00:47:26.409><c> worthlessness</c>

00:47:26.909 --> 00:47:28.489

00:47:28.489 --> 00:47:29.610
that<00:47:28.670><c> might</c><00:47:28.889><c> be</c><00:47:29.269><c> identified</c>

00:47:29.610 --> 00:47:32.809
with<00:47:29.849><c> the</c><00:47:30.130><c> evil</c><00:47:30.750><c> consequences</c><00:47:31.449><c> of</c><00:47:31.690><c> man's</c><00:47:32.110><c> sin.</c>

00:47:33.329 --> 00:47:36.989
Not<00:47:33.829><c> willingly,</c><00:47:35.309><c> but</c><00:47:35.550><c> it</c><00:47:35.670><c> was</c><00:47:35.909><c> subjected</c>

00:47:37.170 --> 00:47:39.469
in<00:47:37.550><c> hope</c><00:47:37.949><c> that</c><00:47:38.190><c> the</c><00:47:38.429><c> creation</c><00:47:38.809><c> itself</c>

00:47:39.469 --> 00:47:41.889
shall<00:47:39.989><c> be</c><00:47:40.190><c> delivered</c><00:47:40.469><c> from</c><00:47:40.690><c> the</c><00:47:40.849><c> bondage</c><00:47:41.170><c> of</c><00:47:41.349><c> corruption</c>

00:47:41.889 --> 00:47:46.170

00:47:46.550 --> 00:47:48.230
For<00:47:46.750><c> we</c><00:47:46.969><c> know</c><00:47:47.190><c> that</c><00:47:47.389><c> the</c><00:47:47.510><c> whole</c><00:47:47.710><c> creation</c>

00:47:52.210 --> 00:47:55.449
And<00:47:52.449><c> not</c><00:47:52.789><c> only</c><00:47:53.289><c> it,</c><00:47:54.269><c> but</c><00:47:54.510><c> ourselves</c><00:47:55.010><c> also,</c>

00:47:55.469 --> 00:47:57.329

00:47:57.710 --> 00:48:00.090
Even<00:47:58.010><c> we</c><00:47:58.329><c> ourselves</c><00:47:58.769><c> groan</c><00:47:59.309><c> within</c><00:47:59.550><c> ourselves</c>

00:48:00.090 --> 00:48:07.050

00:48:11.190 --> 00:48:14.690
So<00:48:11.409><c> we</c><00:48:11.989><c> virtually</c><00:48:12.530><c> end</c><00:48:13.130><c> where</c><00:48:13.570><c> we</c><00:48:13.849><c> started.</c>

00:48:15.050 --> 00:48:16.550
That<00:48:15.349><c> was</c><00:48:15.610><c> the</c><00:48:15.710><c> passage</c><00:48:16.030><c> of</c><00:48:16.230><c> scripture</c>
