00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.680
He<00:17:10.019><c> was</c><00:17:10.319><c> praying</c><00:17:10.680><c> for</c><00:17:10.880><c> the</c><00:17:11.099><c> intervention</c><00:17:11.519><c> in</c><00:17:11.680><c> his</c><00:17:11.960><c> life</c><00:17:12.220><c> of</c><00:17:12.420><c> a</c>

00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:19.660
He<00:17:15.640><c> had</c><00:17:15.900><c> to,</c><00:17:17.440><c> because</c><00:17:17.859><c> when</c><00:17:18.079><c> he</c><00:17:18.200><c> was</c><00:17:18.460><c> dead,</c><00:17:18.759><c> he</c><00:17:18.839><c> was</c><00:17:19.200><c> a</c><00:17:19.400><c> non</c>

00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:25.059
He<00:17:20.619><c> was</c><00:17:21.000><c> unconscious,</c><00:17:22.799><c> powerless,</c><00:17:24.380><c> out.</c>

00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:27.059
No<00:17:25.740><c> way</c><00:17:26.200><c> could</c><00:17:26.319><c> he</c><00:17:26.440><c> help</c><00:17:26.640><c> himself.</c>

00:17:27.180 --> 00:17:30.000
Therefore<00:17:27.640><c> he</c><00:17:27.839><c> was</c><00:17:28.160><c> praying</c><00:17:28.380><c> for</c><00:17:28.619><c> a</c><00:17:28.839><c> power</c><00:17:29.160><c> beyond</c><00:17:29.579><c> himself</c>

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:35.039
Now<00:17:34.160><c> that's</c><00:17:34.420><c> Paul's</c><00:17:34.799><c> point.</c>

00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:38.160

00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:39.400
I<00:17:38.839><c> thank</c><00:17:39.119><c> God.</c>

This<00:24:20.660><c> is</c><00:24:20.799><c> what</c><00:24:21.000><c> the</c><00:24:21.140><c> 8th</c><00:24:21.420><c> chapter</c><00:24:21.619><c> does.</c>

00:24:38.460 --> 00:24:41.400
And<00:24:38.559><c> he</c><00:24:38.700><c> found</c><00:24:38.900><c> that</c><00:24:39.000><c> he</c><00:24:39.059><c> was</c><00:24:39.299><c> a</c><00:24:39.400><c> wretched</c><00:24:39.700><c> man</c><00:24:40.079><c> because</c><00:24:40.740><c> he</c><00:24:40.859><c> couldn't</c><00:24:41.200><c> do</c>

00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.259
And<00:24:53.079><c> he</c><00:24:53.160><c> was</c><00:24:53.579><c> scouting</c><00:24:53.839><c> to</c><00:24:54.259><c> God</c><00:24:54.539><c> to</c><00:24:54.920><c> thank</c><00:24:55.160><c> him</c><00:24:55.500><c> for</c><00:24:55.680><c> that</c><00:24:55.900><c> victory</c>

00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.440
that<00:25:00.180><c> he</c><00:25:00.259><c> might</c><00:25:00.779><c> apply</c><00:25:01.339><c> that</c><00:25:01.660><c> mind</c><00:25:01.960><c> against</c><00:25:02.339><c> the</c><00:25:02.599><c> flesh</c><00:25:02.819><c> and</c>

in<00:25:03.640><c> the</c><00:25:03.839><c> end</c>

00:25:04.299 --> 00:25:06.940
to<00:25:04.759><c> come</c><00:25:05.019><c> through</c><00:25:05.480><c> that</c><00:25:05.779><c> he</c><00:25:05.880><c> might</c><00:25:06.059><c> have</c><00:25:06.299><c> eternal</c><00:25:06.640><c> life.</c>

00:25:07.099 --> 00:25:10.279
And<00:25:07.099><c> he</c><00:25:07.339><c> only</c><00:25:07.599><c> saw</c><00:25:07.779><c> that</c><00:25:08.240><c> as</c><00:25:08.500><c> far</c><00:25:08.759><c> as</c><00:25:09.039><c> he's</c><00:25:09.579><c> concerned</c><00:25:09.839><c> as</c><00:25:10.099><c> that</c>

00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:16.900
Now<00:25:12.779><c> chapter</c><00:25:13.059><c> 8</c><00:25:13.299><c> explains</c><00:25:13.920><c> therefore</c><00:25:14.559><c> how</c><00:25:15.140><c> God</c><00:25:15.420><c> did</c><00:25:15.700><c> it.</c>

00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:18.920
What<00:25:17.339><c> was</c><00:25:17.579><c> it</c><00:25:17.700><c> that</c><00:25:17.859><c> God</c><00:25:18.079><c> did?</c>

00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:21.619
What<00:25:19.299><c> did</c><00:25:19.500><c> he</c><00:25:19.660><c> do</c><00:25:19.819><c> to</c><00:25:20.039><c> establish</c><00:25:20.400><c> that</c><00:25:20.619><c> principle</c><00:25:21.019><c> in</c><00:25:21.259><c> life</c><00:25:21.420><c> that</c><00:25:21.539><c> we</c>

00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.539
And<00:25:23.059><c> then</c><00:25:23.380><c> Paul</c><00:25:23.559><c> goes</c><00:25:23.799><c> on</c><00:25:24.000><c> the</c><00:25:24.079><c> rest</c><00:25:24.279><c> of</c><00:25:24.480><c> chapter</c><00:25:24.660><c> 8</c><00:25:25.000><c> to</c><00:25:25.420><c> explain</c><00:25:25.839><c> therefore</c><00:25:26.220><c> how</c><00:25:26.420><c> we</c>

00:25:26.539 --> 00:25:27.740
can<00:25:26.799><c> take</c><00:25:27.059><c> that</c><00:25:27.319><c> principle</c>

00:25:27.740 --> 00:25:30.960

00:25:32.299 --> 00:25:36.119

those<00:25:36.420><c> issues.</c>

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:39.119
Because<00:25:37.359><c> it's</c><00:25:37.500><c> all</c><00:25:37.579><c> very</c><00:25:37.880><c> well</c><00:25:38.019><c> saying,</c><00:25:38.440><c> I</c><00:25:38.500><c> thank</c><00:25:38.759><c> God.</c>

00:25:39.460 --> 00:25:41.140
Well,<00:25:39.640><c> what</c><00:25:39.819><c> did</c><00:25:40.059><c> God</c><00:25:40.400><c> do?</c>

Well,<00:25:42.539><c> this</c><00:25:42.720><c> is</c><00:25:42.839><c> what</c><00:25:42.980><c> he</c><00:25:43.140><c> did,</c><00:25:43.279><c> and</c><00:25:43.420><c> this</c><00:25:43.579><c> is</c><00:25:43.619><c> how</c><00:25:43.759><c> we</c><00:25:43.920><c> pick</c><00:25:44.000><c> it</c>

00:29:24.099 --> 00:29:25.839
We<00:29:24.240><c> could</c><00:29:24.420><c> spend</c><00:29:24.619><c> the</c><00:29:24.720><c> rest</c><00:29:24.900><c> of</c><00:29:25.079><c> the</c><00:29:25.099><c> night</c><00:29:25.279><c> and</c><00:29:25.440><c> probably</c><00:29:25.700><c> the</c>

00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.400

00:32:49.779 --> 00:32:52.339
He<00:32:50.259><c> lived</c><00:32:50.420><c> for</c><00:32:50.660><c> over</c><00:32:50.859><c> a</c><00:32:51.019><c> hundred</c><00:32:51.119><c> years.</c>

00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:56.880
But<00:32:53.279><c> he</c><00:32:53.420><c> went</c><00:32:53.660><c> to</c><00:32:53.839><c> the</c><00:32:54.019><c> grave,</c><00:32:56.019><c> and</c><00:32:56.200><c> there</c><00:32:56.339><c> was</c><00:32:56.480><c> a</c><00:32:56.680><c> sentence</c>

00:32:58.000 --> 00:32:59.640
Of<00:32:58.019><c> course</c><00:32:59.059><c> he</c><00:32:59.220><c> did.</c>

00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:01.519
Thou<00:33:00.019><c> shalt</c><00:33:00.339><c> surely</c><00:33:00.799><c> die.</c>

00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:06.200
And<00:33:04.579><c> he</c><00:33:04.660><c> went</c><00:33:04.799><c> on</c><00:33:05.079><c> living,</c><00:33:05.500><c> and</c><00:33:05.640><c> living,</c><00:33:06.000><c> and</c><00:33:06.039><c> living.</c>

00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:10.220
But<00:33:06.799><c> he</c><00:33:06.920><c> went</c><00:33:07.119><c> to</c><00:33:07.259><c> the</c><00:33:07.420><c> dust,</c><00:33:08.220><c> and</c><00:33:08.339><c> the</c><00:33:08.640><c> sentence</c><00:33:08.839><c> was</c><00:33:09.099><c> carried</c><00:33:09.359><c> out.</c>

00:33:10.299 --> 00:33:11.680
Now<00:33:10.480><c> the</c><00:33:10.660><c> same</c><00:33:10.819><c> applies</c><00:33:11.180><c> to</c><00:33:11.400><c> us.</c>

00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:14.220
We<00:33:12.140><c> come</c><00:33:12.359><c> into</c><00:33:12.519><c> our</c><00:33:12.700><c> Lord</c><00:33:12.900><c> Jesus</c><00:33:13.299><c> Christ</c><00:33:13.700><c> through</c><00:33:13.920><c> baptism.</c>

00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:16.299
We<00:33:14.559><c> take</c><00:33:14.779><c> him</c><00:33:14.900><c> into</c><00:33:15.099><c> our</c><00:33:15.339><c> life</c><00:33:15.480><c> as</c><00:33:15.740><c> a</c><00:33:15.880><c> personality.</c>

00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:18.819
We<00:33:16.819><c> try</c><00:33:17.119><c> and</c><00:33:17.339><c> measure</c><00:33:17.519><c> up</c><00:33:17.759><c> to</c><00:33:17.940><c> his</c><00:33:18.259><c> example.</c>

00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:21.160
We<00:33:19.019><c> try</c><00:33:19.299><c> to</c><00:33:19.539><c> identify</c><00:33:20.099><c> with</c><00:33:20.359><c> him.</c>

00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:24.920
Now<00:33:21.480><c> we</c><00:33:21.599><c> may</c><00:33:21.940><c> suffer</c><00:33:22.240><c> in</c><00:33:22.579><c> life</c><00:33:22.819><c> for</c><00:33:23.079><c> all</c><00:33:23.359><c> the</c><00:33:23.819><c> defects</c><00:33:24.240><c> in</c><00:33:24.440><c> our</c><00:33:24.640><c> life,</c>

00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:28.240
We<00:33:27.220><c> may</c><00:33:27.539><c> suffer</c><00:33:27.859><c> for</c><00:33:28.079><c> that.</c>

00:33:28.299 --> 00:33:30.619
God<00:33:28.539><c> may</c><00:33:28.759><c> bring</c><00:33:28.940><c> us</c><00:33:29.079><c> into</c><00:33:29.339><c> adversity</c><00:33:29.799><c> to</c><00:33:30.059><c> teach</c><00:33:30.240><c> us</c><00:33:30.380><c> lesson</c>

But<00:33:32.359><c> finally,</c><00:33:33.400><c> there'll</c><00:33:33.559><c> be</c><00:33:33.700><c> no</c><00:33:34.000><c> sentence</c><00:33:34.299><c> pronounced</c><00:33:34.740><c> against</c><00:33:35.079><c> us.</c>

00:33:36.460 --> 00:33:37.660
And<00:33:36.700><c> that's</c><00:33:37.059><c> Paul's</c><00:33:37.420><c> point.</c>

00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:40.299
There's<00:33:38.339><c> a</c><00:33:38.559><c> wonderful</c><00:33:39.000><c> confidence</c><00:33:39.460><c> in</c><00:33:39.740><c> those</c><00:33:39.960><c> words.</c>

00:33:42.420 --> 00:33:46.940
But<00:33:42.640><c> look</c><00:33:42.880><c> of</c><00:33:43.119><c> the</c><00:33:43.319><c> qualification</c><00:33:44.019><c> to</c><00:33:44.660><c> them</c><00:33:45.099><c> which</c><00:33:45.700><c> are</c><00:33:46.319><c> in</c>

00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:51.819
Now<00:33:50.319><c> that's</c><00:33:50.660><c> important,</c><00:33:51.099><c> isn't</c><00:33:51.180><c> it?</c>

00:33:51.819 --> 00:33:56.140
Because<00:33:52.359><c> you</c><00:33:52.700><c> see</c><00:33:53.619><c> the</c><00:33:54.299><c> point</c><00:33:54.539><c> that</c><00:33:54.700><c> he's</c><00:33:54.880><c> making.</c>

Now<00:34:01.220><c> this</c><00:34:01.359><c> is</c><00:34:01.500><c> the</c><00:34:01.700><c> argument</c><00:34:01.839><c> that</c><00:34:01.980><c> he's</c><00:34:02.279><c> arguing</c><00:34:02.460><c> against.</c>

00:34:03.940 --> 00:34:05.700
So<00:34:04.079><c> a</c><00:34:04.160><c> person</c><00:34:04.420><c> was</c><00:34:04.660><c> saying,</c><00:34:05.059><c> well,</c><00:34:05.059><c> that's</c><00:34:05.480><c> the</c><00:34:05.559><c> law.</c>

00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:07.640
It's<00:34:06.160><c> external</c><00:34:06.519><c> to</c><00:34:06.779><c> me.</c>

00:34:07.859 --> 00:34:09.400
I<00:34:08.159><c> read</c><00:34:08.380><c> it.</c><00:34:08.539><c> I</c><00:34:08.800><c> understand</c><00:34:09.260><c> it.</c>

00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:11.239
Now<00:34:09.599><c> it's</c><00:34:09.780><c> all</c><00:34:09.920><c> up</c><00:34:10.119><c> to</c><00:34:10.360><c> me.</c>

00:34:12.300 --> 00:34:14.619
I'm<00:34:12.659><c> on</c><00:34:12.860><c> my</c><00:34:13.019><c> own.</c><00:34:13.099><c> I've</c><00:34:13.260><c> got</c><00:34:13.380><c> to</c><00:34:13.480><c> stand</c><00:34:13.659><c> on</c><00:34:13.739><c> my</c><00:34:13.940><c> own</c><00:34:14.179><c> two</c><00:34:14.480><c> feet.</c>

00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:16.260
And<00:34:14.820><c> I</c><00:34:14.860><c> know</c><00:34:15.039><c> what's</c><00:34:15.400><c> right</c><00:34:15.500><c> and</c><00:34:15.659><c> I</c><00:34:15.699><c> know</c><00:34:15.900><c> what's</c><00:34:16.179><c> wrong,</c>

00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:18.000
and<00:34:16.380><c> that's</c><00:34:16.559><c> what</c><00:34:16.599><c> I've</c><00:34:16.780><c> got</c><00:34:16.860><c> to</c><00:34:17.039><c> perform.</c>

00:34:18.340 --> 00:34:21.300
There'll<00:34:18.900><c> be</c><00:34:19.179><c> condemnation</c><00:34:19.980><c> to</c><00:34:20.119><c> that</c><00:34:20.260><c> person</c><00:34:20.579><c> finally</c>

00:34:21.300 --> 00:34:24.960
because<00:34:21.659><c> they</c><00:34:21.820><c> won't</c><00:34:22.139><c> perform</c><00:34:22.579><c> and</c><00:34:22.860><c> they</c><00:34:23.000><c> will</c><00:34:23.260><c> stand</c><00:34:23.500><c> on</c><00:34:23.679><c> their</c><00:34:23.860><c> own</c><00:34:24.079><c> merit.</c>

00:34:25.219 --> 00:34:27.539
They'll<00:34:25.360><c> have</c><00:34:25.519><c> to</c><00:34:25.659><c> because</c><00:34:26.019><c> that's</c><00:34:26.820><c> their</c><00:34:27.000><c> own</c><00:34:27.179><c> condition.</c>

00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:29.579
They<00:34:27.800><c> made</c><00:34:28.019><c> their</c><00:34:28.239><c> own</c><00:34:28.440><c> conditions.</c>

00:34:30.340 --> 00:34:34.340
Paul<00:34:30.340><c> says</c><00:34:30.480><c> there'll</c><00:34:30.739><c> be</c><00:34:30.860><c> no</c><00:34:31.280><c> final</c><00:34:31.920><c> judgement</c><00:34:32.739><c> against</c><00:34:33.360><c> those</c><00:34:33.860><c> who</c>

00:34:34.340 --> 00:34:36.079
are<00:34:34.800><c> in</c><00:34:35.340><c> Christ</c><00:34:35.800><c> Jesus.</c>

00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:38.079
That's<00:34:36.840><c> the</c><00:34:36.980><c> qualification.</c>

00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:41.260
So<00:34:38.960><c> it's</c><00:34:39.159><c> a</c><00:34:39.239><c> question</c><00:34:39.559><c> of</c><00:34:40.159><c> identity.</c>

00:34:41.340 --> 00:34:45.039
That's<00:34:41.900><c> harkening</c><00:34:42.159><c> back</c><00:34:42.380><c> to</c><00:34:42.519><c> chapter</c><00:34:42.739><c> 6,</c><00:34:43.239><c> isn't</c><00:34:43.260><c> it?</c>

00:34:45.340 --> 00:34:47.639
Did<00:34:45.880><c> God</c><00:34:46.199><c> condemn</c><00:34:46.579><c> his</c><00:34:46.920><c> son?</c>

00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:51.880
He<00:34:49.179><c> did</c><00:34:49.440><c> not,</c><00:34:49.840><c> but</c><00:34:50.039><c> I'll</c><00:34:50.199><c> tell</c><00:34:50.260><c> you</c><00:34:50.320><c> what</c><00:34:50.420><c> he</c><00:34:50.500><c> did</c><00:34:50.820><c> condemn.</c>

00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:56.559
He<00:34:53.219><c> condemned</c><00:34:53.659><c> the</c><00:34:53.920><c> principle</c><00:34:54.260><c> of</c><00:34:54.679><c> sin</c><00:34:55.179><c> in</c><00:34:56.039><c> his</c><00:34:56.340><c> son.</c>

00:34:56.800 --> 00:34:58.119
But<00:34:56.900><c> did</c><00:34:57.159><c> he</c><00:34:57.280><c> condemn</c><00:34:57.639><c> his</c><00:34:57.920><c> son?</c>

00:34:58.500 --> 00:35:01.619
No<00:34:58.920><c> way</c><00:34:59.380><c> in</c><00:34:59.559><c> the</c><00:34:59.840><c> world</c><00:35:00.000><c> did</c><00:35:00.159><c> he</c><00:35:00.320><c> condemn</c><00:35:00.579><c> his</c><00:35:00.860><c> son.</c>

00:35:01.860 --> 00:35:05.159
This<00:35:02.159><c> is</c><00:35:02.400><c> my</c><00:35:02.559><c> beloved</c><00:35:02.880><c> son,</c><00:35:03.260><c> whom</c><00:35:03.400><c> I'm</c><00:35:03.900><c> well</c><00:35:04.199><c> pleased.</c>

00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:08.239
Raised<00:35:05.920><c> him</c><00:35:06.019><c> from</c><00:35:06.159><c> the</c><00:35:06.380><c> dead,</c><00:35:06.940><c> exalted</c><00:35:07.280><c> him</c><00:35:07.460><c> and</c><00:35:07.599><c> gave</c><00:35:07.840><c> him</c>

00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:08.820
the<00:35:08.579><c> name,</c>

00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:10.360
which<00:35:09.000><c> is</c><00:35:09.219><c> above</c><00:35:09.500><c> every</c><00:35:10.179><c> name.</c>

00:35:10.420 --> 00:35:12.159
He<00:35:10.539><c> didn't</c><00:35:10.739><c> condemn</c><00:35:11.059><c> his</c><00:35:11.380><c> son.</c>

00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:15.519
He<00:35:13.019><c> condemned</c><00:35:13.460><c> the</c><00:35:13.639><c> principle</c><00:35:14.059><c> of</c><00:35:14.380><c> sin,</c><00:35:14.860><c> which</c><00:35:14.940><c> was</c><00:35:15.119><c> in</c><00:35:15.300><c> the</c>

00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:16.300
flesh<00:35:15.699><c> of</c><00:35:15.880><c> his</c><00:35:16.079><c> son.</c>

00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:17.820
That<00:35:16.599><c> was</c><00:35:16.840><c> condemned.</c>

00:35:18.059 --> 00:35:20.420
But<00:35:18.199><c> his</c><00:35:18.340><c> son,</c><00:35:19.099><c> no</c><00:35:19.380><c> way</c><00:35:19.559><c> did</c><00:35:19.760><c> he</c><00:35:19.960><c> condemn</c><00:35:20.260><c> him.</c>

00:35:20.500 --> 00:35:26.039
Now<00:35:20.760><c> if</c><00:35:20.880><c> we</c><00:35:21.260><c> are</c><00:35:21.699><c> in</c><00:35:22.539><c> Christ</c><00:35:23.280><c> Jesus,</c><00:35:25.059><c> how</c><00:35:25.360><c> can</c><00:35:25.599><c> there</c><00:35:25.739><c> be</c><00:35:25.920><c> any</c>

00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:27.599
condemnation<00:35:26.539><c> of</c><00:35:26.760><c> us?</c>

00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.480
Because<00:35:28.480><c> we</c><00:35:28.920><c> are</c><00:35:29.460><c> Christ.</c>

00:35:31.619 --> 00:35:36.059
If<00:35:32.159><c> we</c><00:35:32.400><c> are</c><00:35:32.500><c> Christ</c><00:35:33.440><c> before,</c><00:35:34.440><c> there</c><00:35:34.559><c> can</c><00:35:34.840><c> be</c><00:35:35.039><c> no</c><00:35:35.280><c> condemnation</c>

00:35:37.420 --> 00:35:40.380
because<00:35:37.960><c> we've</c><00:35:38.500><c> had</c><00:35:38.579><c> an</c><00:35:38.820><c> identification</c><00:35:39.739><c> with</c><00:35:40.099><c> him.</c>

00:35:40.380 --> 00:35:43.179
Now<00:35:41.099><c> you</c><00:35:41.360><c> see,</c><00:35:41.559><c> you</c><00:35:41.780><c> take</c><00:35:41.960><c> Philippians</c><00:35:42.460><c> chapter</c><00:35:42.780><c> 3.</c>

00:35:43.219 --> 00:35:48.920
Here's<00:35:43.519><c> the</c><00:35:48.420><c> point.</c>

00:35:57.059 --> 00:35:58.900
It's<00:35:57.139><c> always</c><00:35:57.300><c> good,</c><00:35:57.519><c> you</c><00:35:57.659><c> know,</c><00:35:57.780><c> to</c><00:35:57.900><c> go</c><00:35:58.059><c> to</c><00:35:58.239><c> the</c><00:35:58.420><c> apostle</c><00:35:58.679><c> in</c>

00:35:58.900 --> 00:35:59.500
another<00:35:59.079><c> place</c>

00:35:59.500 --> 00:36:02.659
for<00:36:00.159><c> a</c><00:36:00.559><c> further</c><00:36:00.800><c> elucidation</c><00:36:01.519><c> of</c><00:36:01.679><c> the</c><00:36:01.880><c> principles</c><00:36:02.159><c> he</c><00:36:02.460><c> speaks</c>

00:36:02.659 --> 00:36:05.139
in<00:36:03.039><c> the</c><00:36:03.360><c> particular</c><00:36:03.699><c> one</c><00:36:03.940><c> you're</c><00:36:04.300><c> studying.</c>

00:36:05.900 --> 00:36:10.320
In<00:36:06.380><c> Philippians</c><00:36:06.559><c> chapter</c><00:36:06.880><c> 3,</c><00:36:07.300><c> he</c><00:36:07.500><c> says</c><00:36:07.719><c> the</c><00:36:07.960><c> same</c><00:36:08.199><c> thing</c><00:36:08.340><c> in</c><00:36:08.539><c> these</c><00:36:08.739><c> words,</c><00:36:09.639><c> verses</c><00:36:09.960><c> 7</c>

00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:10.760
to<00:36:10.420><c> 9.</c>

00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:11.659
He<00:36:10.820><c> says,</c>

00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:38.880
But<00:36:35.599><c> that</c><00:36:36.119><c> which</c><00:36:36.440><c> is</c><00:36:36.780><c> through</c><00:36:37.079><c> the</c><00:36:37.360><c> faith</c><00:36:37.639><c> of</c><00:36:37.860><c> Christ,</c>

00:36:38.940 --> 00:36:42.840
the<00:36:39.179><c> righteousness</c><00:36:39.760><c> which</c><00:36:40.340><c> is</c><00:36:40.659><c> of</c><00:36:40.920><c> God</c><00:36:41.320><c> by</c><00:36:41.760><c> faith.</c>

00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:47.320
Now<00:36:43.320><c> the</c><00:36:43.539><c> important</c><00:36:44.000><c> words</c><00:36:44.400><c> are</c><00:36:45.079><c> found</c><00:36:45.800><c> in</c><00:36:46.300><c> him.</c>

00:36:47.980 --> 00:36:51.400
Now<00:36:48.219><c> Christ</c><00:36:48.559><c> comes</c><00:36:49.059><c> to</c><00:36:49.519><c> find</c><00:36:49.900><c> his</c><00:36:50.199><c> believers</c><00:36:50.579><c> in</c><00:36:50.840><c> that</c><00:36:51.179><c> sin.</c>

00:36:51.860 --> 00:36:53.639

00:36:53.940 --> 00:36:55.619
How<00:36:54.239><c> will</c><00:36:54.420><c> he</c><00:36:54.719><c> find</c><00:36:55.039><c> us?</c>

00:36:56.119 --> 00:37:00.300
Standing<00:36:56.500><c> on</c><00:36:56.719><c> our</c><00:36:56.940><c> own</c><00:36:57.159><c> two</c><00:36:57.460><c> feet,</c><00:36:59.000><c> separate</c><00:36:59.199><c> from</c><00:36:59.460><c> God's</c><00:36:59.940><c> law.</c>

00:37:00.579 --> 00:37:02.219
There's<00:37:00.940><c> the</c><00:37:01.099><c> law</c><00:37:01.300><c> external</c><00:37:01.760><c> to</c><00:37:01.940><c> us.</c>

00:37:02.219 --> 00:37:03.260
Here<00:37:02.659><c> we</c><00:37:02.960><c> are.</c>

00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:05.039
We've<00:37:03.920><c> read</c><00:37:04.000><c> it.</c><00:37:04.199><c> We've</c><00:37:04.519><c> understood</c><00:37:04.840><c> it.</c>

00:37:05.099 --> 00:37:07.480
We're<00:37:05.460><c> standing</c><00:37:05.719><c> on</c><00:37:05.920><c> our</c><00:37:06.059><c> own</c><00:37:06.300><c> two</c><00:37:06.539><c> feet</c><00:37:06.699><c> and</c><00:37:07.000><c> offering</c><00:37:07.239><c> unto</c>

00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:10.380
God<00:37:07.840><c> the</c><00:37:08.099><c> dedication</c><00:37:08.639><c> of</c><00:37:08.900><c> our</c><00:37:09.219><c> willpower.</c>

00:37:10.940 --> 00:37:13.260
Is<00:37:11.059><c> that</c><00:37:11.179><c> how</c><00:37:11.320><c> he's</c><00:37:11.360><c> going</c><00:37:11.539><c> to</c><00:37:11.900><c> find</c><00:37:12.280><c> us?</c>

00:37:13.300 --> 00:37:15.920
Paul<00:37:13.420><c> says,</c><00:37:13.719><c> I</c><00:37:13.719><c> hope</c><00:37:13.940><c> when</c><00:37:14.159><c> he</c><00:37:14.300><c> comes</c><00:37:14.460><c> he</c><00:37:14.599><c> will</c><00:37:14.940><c> probably</c><00:37:15.340><c> be</c>

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:17.800
found<00:37:16.239><c> in</c><00:37:16.960><c> him.</c>

00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:20.099
Now<00:37:18.219><c> that's</c><00:37:18.420><c> a</c><00:37:18.420><c> very</c><00:37:18.739><c> important</c><00:37:19.119><c> thing.</c>

00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:22.619
Take<00:37:20.840><c> baptism.</c><00:37:21.460><c> What's</c><00:37:21.860><c> baptism?</c>

00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:25.340
Without<00:37:23.780><c> what</c><00:37:23.940><c> I'm</c><00:37:24.199><c> talking</c><00:37:24.380><c> about,</c><00:37:24.739><c> I'll</c><00:37:24.960><c> tell</c><00:37:24.980><c> you</c><00:37:25.079><c> what</c>

baptism<00:37:25.619><c> is.</c>

00:37:26.420 --> 00:37:28.360
It's<00:37:26.659><c> just</c><00:37:26.900><c> a</c><00:37:27.059><c> public</c><00:37:27.360><c> bath.</c>

00:37:29.860 --> 00:37:32.199

our<00:37:36.179><c> baptism.</c>

00:37:36.579 --> 00:37:37.320
What's<00:37:37.019><c> baptism?</c>

00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:41.579
But<00:37:37.679><c> the</c><00:37:38.099><c> external</c><00:37:38.559><c> expression</c><00:37:39.159><c> of</c><00:37:39.340><c> what</c><00:37:39.579><c> we</c><00:37:39.960><c> intend</c><00:37:40.579><c> to</c><00:37:40.820><c> do.</c>

00:37:41.900 --> 00:37:46.139
Paul's<00:37:42.360><c> expression</c><00:37:42.900><c> found</c><00:37:43.599><c> in</c><00:37:44.019><c> him</c><00:37:44.619><c> implies</c><00:37:45.460><c> that</c><00:37:45.659><c> there's</c><00:37:45.940><c> a</c>

00:37:46.139 --> 00:37:49.099

00:37:49.099 --> 00:37:49.619
that<00:37:49.320><c> man.</c>

00:37:49.860 --> 00:37:51.840
That's<00:37:50.139><c> what</c><00:37:50.360><c> baptism's</c><00:37:50.820><c> all</c><00:37:51.019><c> about.</c>

00:37:52.380 --> 00:37:55.340
So<00:37:52.559><c> you</c><00:37:52.679><c> see,</c><00:37:52.940><c> you</c><00:37:53.199><c> take</c><00:37:53.400><c> the</c><00:37:53.559><c> application</c><00:37:53.980><c> of</c><00:37:54.039><c> that</c><00:37:54.159><c> in</c><00:37:54.300><c> your</c><00:37:54.500><c> life.</c>

00:37:55.380 --> 00:37:56.960
There's<00:37:55.539><c> a</c><00:37:55.699><c> certain</c><00:37:56.000><c> problem</c><00:37:56.500><c> arising.</c>

00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:58.320
A<00:37:57.840><c> difficulty.</c>

00:37:58.699 --> 00:37:59.179
An<00:37:58.860><c> issue.</c>

00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:00.340
Whatever<00:37:59.599><c> it</c><00:37:59.760><c> may</c><00:38:00.059><c> be.</c>

00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:01.639
Crosses<00:38:00.900><c> your</c><00:38:01.219><c> path.</c>

00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:03.900
Where<00:38:02.179><c> you've</c><00:38:02.400><c> got</c><00:38:02.440><c> to</c><00:38:02.579><c> make</c><00:38:02.760><c> a</c><00:38:02.840><c> decision</c><00:38:03.119><c> for</c><00:38:03.360><c> yourself</c><00:38:03.719><c> or</c>

00:38:03.900 --> 00:38:06.280
for<00:38:04.079><c> somebody</c><00:38:04.320><c> else</c><00:38:04.579><c> or</c><00:38:04.719><c> for</c><00:38:04.840><c> your</c><00:38:05.019><c> pleasure</c><00:38:05.320><c> perhaps.</c>

00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:12.719
It's<00:38:06.900><c> not</c><00:38:07.119><c> a</c><00:38:07.320><c> question</c><00:38:07.539><c> of</c><00:38:07.820><c> saying</c><00:38:08.639><c> what</c><00:38:09.260><c> sets</c><00:38:09.440><c> the</c><00:38:09.760><c> law</c><00:38:10.159><c> or</c><00:38:12.219><c> what</c><00:38:12.500><c> do</c>

00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:14.980
I<00:38:12.920><c> think</c><00:38:13.099><c> about</c><00:38:13.360><c> what</c><00:38:13.619><c> sets</c><00:38:13.820><c> the</c><00:38:14.059><c> law.</c>

00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:20.139
It's<00:38:16.099><c> a</c><00:38:16.199><c> question</c><00:38:16.500><c> of</c><00:38:16.800><c> saying</c><00:38:17.260><c> what</c><00:38:18.099><c> would</c><00:38:18.460><c> Christ</c><00:38:18.780><c> do</c><00:38:19.199><c> in</c><00:38:19.619><c> his</c>

00:38:20.139 --> 00:38:23.300

00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:27.199
I<00:38:24.500><c> might</c><00:38:24.760><c> have</c><00:38:24.880><c> an</c><00:38:25.079><c> interpretation</c><00:38:25.579><c> of</c><00:38:25.760><c> what</c><00:38:26.019><c> sets</c><00:38:26.179><c> the</c><00:38:26.340><c> law.</c>

00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:29.239
But<00:38:27.780><c> how</c><00:38:28.000><c> did</c><00:38:28.159><c> Christ</c><00:38:28.579><c> interpret</c><00:38:29.059><c> that?</c>

00:38:29.340 --> 00:38:30.920
How<00:38:29.519><c> did</c><00:38:29.739><c> he</c><00:38:30.000><c> read</c><00:38:30.179><c> it?</c>

00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:34.099
What<00:38:31.539><c> must</c><00:38:31.820><c> I</c><00:38:32.019><c> do</c><00:38:32.199><c> to</c><00:38:33.019><c> inherit</c><00:38:33.260><c> eternal</c><00:38:33.719><c> life?</c>

00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:36.219
How<00:38:34.719><c> readest</c><00:38:35.280><c> thou?</c>

00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:38.679
How<00:38:37.599><c> do</c><00:38:37.800><c> you</c><00:38:37.920><c> read</c><00:38:38.139><c> it?</c>

00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:40.739
He<00:38:39.340><c> put</c><00:38:39.480><c> the</c><00:38:39.679><c> question</c><00:38:39.920><c> back</c><00:38:40.199><c> to</c><00:38:40.340><c> the</c><00:38:40.500><c> man.</c>

00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:42.219
And<00:38:41.199><c> that's</c><00:38:41.440><c> the</c><00:38:41.559><c> question,</c><00:38:41.920><c> isn't</c><00:38:42.039><c> it?</c>

00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:45.199
And<00:38:42.539><c> if</c><00:38:42.679><c> we</c><00:38:42.880><c> therefore</c><00:38:43.199><c> look</c><00:38:43.400><c> at</c><00:38:43.539><c> the</c><00:38:43.679><c> life</c><00:38:43.840><c> of</c><00:38:44.019><c> the</c><00:38:44.099><c> Lord</c><00:38:44.239><c> Jesus</c><00:38:44.619><c> Christ</c><00:38:45.019><c> and</c>

00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:48.659

00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:50.219
He<00:38:49.219><c> saw</c><00:38:49.340><c> it</c><00:38:49.460><c> that</c><00:38:49.739><c> way.</c>

00:38:50.380 --> 00:38:52.340
He<00:38:50.739><c> applied</c><00:38:51.059><c> it</c><00:38:51.199><c> in</c><00:38:51.320><c> that</c><00:38:51.519><c> way.</c>

00:38:52.420 --> 00:38:54.920
What<00:38:52.900><c> we</c><00:38:53.119><c> are</c><00:38:53.280><c> doing</c><00:38:53.519><c> therefore,</c><00:38:54.059><c> brethren</c><00:38:54.199><c> and</c><00:38:54.440><c> sisters,</c><00:38:54.760><c> is</c>

00:38:58.739 --> 00:38:59.400
an<00:38:58.940><c> individual.</c>

00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:01.719
And<00:38:59.639><c> we're</c><00:38:59.820><c> becoming</c><00:39:00.219><c> like</c><00:39:00.920><c> him.</c>

00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:03.019
We're<00:39:02.059><c> in</c><00:39:02.199><c> him.</c>

00:39:03.579 --> 00:39:04.619
We're<00:39:03.840><c> locked</c><00:39:04.099><c> in</c><00:39:04.280><c> him.</c>

00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:08.139
If<00:39:05.179><c> we</c><00:39:05.320><c> return</c><00:39:05.679><c> to</c><00:39:05.800><c> that</c><00:39:06.039><c> moment,</c><00:39:06.320><c> we'll</c><00:39:06.539><c> be</c><00:39:06.760><c> found</c><00:39:07.019><c> in</c><00:39:07.239><c> him.</c>

00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:09.659
That's<00:39:09.300><c> important.</c>

00:39:09.780 --> 00:39:10.639
It's<00:39:10.079><c> all</c><00:39:10.280><c> important.</c>

00:39:10.739 --> 00:39:14.639

they<00:39:20.340><c> seem</c><00:39:20.579><c> to</c><00:39:20.860><c> imply</c><00:39:21.219><c> that</c><00:39:21.400><c> their</c><00:39:21.619><c> baptism</c><00:39:22.019><c> guarantees</c><00:39:22.679><c> that</c>

00:39:22.900 --> 00:39:23.480
they're<00:39:22.900><c> in</c><00:39:23.179><c> Christ.</c>

00:39:23.659 --> 00:39:25.219
It's<00:39:23.719><c> no</c><00:39:23.900><c> guarantee</c><00:39:24.320><c> whatever.</c>

00:39:27.619 --> 00:39:29.239
We're<00:39:27.920><c> in</c><00:39:28.139><c> Christ</c><00:39:28.440><c> if</c><00:39:28.599><c> we're</c><00:39:28.860><c> like</c><00:39:29.019><c> him.</c>

00:39:29.539 --> 00:39:30.559
That's<00:39:29.659><c> the</c><00:39:29.739><c> guarantee.</c>

00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:34.000
Baptism<00:39:31.920><c> is</c><00:39:32.280><c> absolutely</c><00:39:32.940><c> essential.</c>

00:39:34.980 --> 00:39:37.159
It's<00:39:35.420><c> useless</c><00:39:35.699><c> unless</c><00:39:36.119><c> that</c><00:39:36.440><c> principle</c><00:39:36.739><c> is</c><00:39:37.059><c> seen.</c>

00:39:37.380 --> 00:39:39.019
It's<00:39:37.659><c> like</c><00:39:37.860><c> the</c><00:39:38.039><c> principle</c><00:39:38.239><c> of</c><00:39:38.480><c> mediation.</c>

00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:39.619
Remember?

00:39:39.780 --> 00:39:41.980
It's<00:39:39.940><c> not</c><00:39:40.099><c> a</c><00:39:40.219><c> question</c><00:39:40.400><c> of</c><00:39:40.699><c> because</c><00:39:40.920><c> we</c><00:39:41.300><c> can</c><00:39:41.539><c> say</c><00:39:41.639><c> at</c><00:39:41.780><c> the</c><00:39:41.820><c> end</c>

00:39:41.980 --> 00:39:43.119
of<00:39:42.119><c> a</c><00:39:42.239><c> prayer</c><00:39:42.360><c> ever</c><00:39:42.639><c> so</c><00:39:42.860><c> glibly,</c>

00:39:43.340 --> 00:39:45.300
in<00:39:43.360><c> the</c><00:39:43.480><c> name</c><00:39:43.619><c> of</c><00:39:43.760><c> the</c><00:39:43.840><c> Lord</c><00:39:44.019><c> Jesus</c><00:39:44.360><c> Christ,</c><00:39:44.900><c> and</c><00:39:45.079><c> therefore</c>

00:39:45.300 --> 00:39:46.340
that<00:39:45.519><c> prayer</c><00:39:45.699><c> is</c><00:39:46.019><c> valid.</c>

00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:48.079
It<00:39:46.639><c> may</c><00:39:46.840><c> not</c><00:39:47.039><c> be</c><00:39:47.239><c> valid.</c>

00:39:49.260 --> 00:39:51.079
Abide<00:39:49.780><c> in</c><00:39:50.079><c> me.</c>

00:39:52.179 --> 00:39:55.400
And<00:39:52.260><c> let</c><00:39:52.440><c> my</c><00:39:52.820><c> words</c><00:39:53.280><c> abide</c><00:39:53.980><c> in</c><00:39:54.500><c> you.</c>

00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:57.960
And<00:39:55.900><c> whatever</c><00:39:56.199><c> you</c><00:39:56.400><c> ask,</c><00:39:56.800><c> God</c><00:39:56.980><c> will</c><00:39:57.219><c> do.</c>

00:39:57.980 --> 00:40:02.119
If<00:39:58.219><c> you</c><00:39:58.539><c> abide</c><00:39:59.280><c> in</c><00:39:59.699><c> me</c><00:40:00.059><c> and</c><00:40:00.280><c> my</c><00:40:00.639><c> words</c><00:40:01.019><c> abide</c><00:40:01.619><c> in</c><00:40:01.860><c> you.</c>

00:40:02.340 --> 00:40:03.719
There's<00:40:02.500><c> the</c><00:40:02.639><c> qualification.</c>

00:40:03.860 --> 00:40:04.860
It's<00:40:04.039><c> a</c><00:40:04.159><c> wonderful</c><00:40:04.559><c> thing.</c>

00:40:05.019 --> 00:40:08.780
Simply,<00:40:05.320><c> you</c><00:40:05.559><c> know</c><00:40:05.760><c> it,</c><00:40:06.219><c> but</c><00:40:06.480><c> concentrate</c><00:40:06.920><c> upon</c><00:40:07.159><c> that</c><00:40:07.380><c> and</c><00:40:07.699><c> see</c><00:40:08.019><c> the</c><00:40:08.219><c> wonder</c><00:40:08.380><c> of</c><00:40:08.500><c> it.</c>

00:40:09.059 --> 00:40:11.820
Now,<00:40:09.360><c> Paul</c><00:40:09.619><c> goes</c><00:40:09.800><c> on</c><00:40:10.000><c> and</c><00:40:10.179><c> says,</c><00:40:10.860><c> or</c><00:40:11.079><c> seems</c><00:40:11.380><c> to</c><00:40:11.599><c> say,</c>

00:40:12.179 --> 00:40:14.380
to<00:40:12.360><c> walk</c><00:40:12.639><c> not</c><00:40:12.900><c> after</c><00:40:13.159><c> the</c><00:40:13.380><c> flesh</c><00:40:13.539><c> but</c><00:40:13.760><c> after</c><00:40:14.099><c> the</c><00:40:14.260><c> spirit.</c>

00:40:14.420 --> 00:40:16.260
No,<00:40:14.639><c> he</c><00:40:14.780><c> doesn't</c><00:40:15.079><c> say</c><00:40:15.320><c> that.</c>

00:40:16.980 --> 00:40:19.300
He<00:40:17.460><c> says</c><00:40:17.659><c> it</c><00:40:17.780><c> in</c><00:40:17.900><c> the</c><00:40:18.039><c> fourth</c><00:40:18.300><c> verse.</c>

00:40:20.340 --> 00:40:22.440
At<00:40:20.480><c> the</c><00:40:20.539><c> end</c><00:40:20.699><c> of</c><00:40:20.820><c> the</c><00:40:20.960><c> fourth</c><00:40:21.239><c> verse</c><00:40:21.380><c> he</c><00:40:21.500><c> says</c><00:40:21.719><c> to</c><00:40:21.940><c> walk</c><00:40:22.219><c> not</c>

00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:23.179
after<00:40:22.719><c> the</c><00:40:22.940><c> flesh,</c>

00:40:23.380 --> 00:40:25.139
but<00:40:23.480><c> after</c><00:40:23.739><c> the</c><00:40:24.019><c> spirit,</c><00:40:24.179><c> but</c><00:40:24.239><c> he</c><00:40:24.360><c> doesn't</c><00:40:24.659><c> say</c><00:40:24.800><c> it</c><00:40:24.880><c> in</c><00:40:25.000><c> the</c>

00:40:25.139 --> 00:40:26.420
first<00:40:25.480><c> verse.</c>

00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:30.400
Because<00:40:27.760><c> all</c><00:40:27.980><c> the</c><00:40:28.199><c> best</c><00:40:28.500><c> texts</c><00:40:28.920><c> of</c><00:40:29.099><c> the</c><00:40:29.300><c> Greek</c><00:40:29.519><c> leave</c><00:40:29.800><c> that</c><00:40:30.099><c> out.</c>

00:40:30.500 --> 00:40:34.139
And<00:40:30.659><c> you'll</c><00:40:30.900><c> find</c><00:40:31.059><c> that</c><00:40:31.239><c> most</c><00:40:31.679><c> reliable</c><00:40:32.340><c> and</c><00:40:32.860><c> responsible</c><00:40:33.559><c> translations</c>

00:40:34.139 --> 00:40:36.579
don't<00:40:34.480><c> have</c><00:40:34.639><c> those</c><00:40:34.920><c> words</c><00:40:35.159><c> in</c><00:40:35.340><c> verse</c><00:40:35.619><c> one.</c>

00:40:37.380 --> 00:40:40.179
Not<00:40:37.599><c> because</c><00:40:37.880><c> they</c><00:40:38.079><c> don't</c><00:40:38.340><c> apply,</c><00:40:38.840><c> because</c><00:40:39.139><c> Paul</c><00:40:39.380><c> applies</c><00:40:39.840><c> them</c><00:40:40.059><c> in</c>

00:40:40.179 --> 00:40:41.500
verse<00:40:40.500><c> four.</c>

00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:43.780
So<00:40:42.699><c> they</c><00:40:42.940><c> do</c><00:40:43.300><c> apply.</c>

00:40:43.780 --> 00:40:47.599
But<00:40:44.719><c> they're</c><00:40:45.000><c> not</c><00:40:45.440><c> there</c><00:40:45.699><c> in</c><00:40:46.099><c> verse</c><00:40:46.480><c> one.</c>

00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:49.340
Why<00:40:48.119><c> aren't</c><00:40:48.340><c> they</c><00:40:48.559><c> there</c><00:40:48.699><c> in</c><00:40:48.860><c> verse</c><00:40:49.119><c> one?</c>

00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:52.400
Could<00:40:49.579><c> someone</c><00:40:49.800><c> like</c><00:40:49.980><c> to</c><00:40:50.159><c> suggest</c><00:40:50.440><c> an</c><00:40:50.679><c> answer</c><00:40:50.840><c> to</c><00:40:51.000><c> that?</c>

00:40:57.400 --> 00:40:59.599
On<00:40:57.880><c> the</c><00:40:58.039><c> basis</c><00:40:58.159><c> of</c><00:40:58.260><c> what</c><00:40:58.340><c> we've</c><00:40:58.559><c> been</c><00:40:58.800><c> saying.</c>

00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:16.539
Can<00:41:14.960><c> I</c><00:41:15.400><c> take</c><00:41:15.440><c> that</c><00:41:15.639><c> in</c><00:41:15.800><c> German?</c>

00:41:17.219 --> 00:41:18.159
Right.

00:41:19.179 --> 00:41:21.519
Well,<00:41:19.420><c> why</c><00:41:19.420><c> wouldn't</c><00:41:19.599><c> you</c><00:41:19.760><c> think</c><00:41:19.860><c> it</c><00:41:20.000><c> would</c><00:41:20.260><c> be</c><00:41:20.440><c> necessary</c><00:41:20.920><c> in</c>

00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:22.139
Paul's<00:41:21.920><c> argument</c>

00:41:22.139 --> 00:41:24.539
if<00:41:22.420><c> you</c><00:41:22.539><c> just</c><00:41:22.760><c> leave</c><00:41:22.900><c> that</c><00:41:23.099><c> out</c><00:41:23.260><c> of</c><00:41:23.380><c> verse</c><00:41:23.559><c> one,</c><00:41:23.900><c> even</c><00:41:24.159><c> if</c><00:41:24.300><c> it's</c>

00:41:24.539 --> 00:41:25.599
stated<00:41:24.699><c> in</c><00:41:24.920><c> verse</c><00:41:25.159><c> four?</c>

00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:29.780
What<00:41:26.000><c> would</c><00:41:26.239><c> be</c><00:41:26.460><c> the</c><00:41:26.840><c> benefit</c><00:41:27.239><c> of</c><00:41:27.599><c> not</c><00:41:28.099><c> putting</c><00:41:28.320><c> it</c><00:41:28.500><c> in</c><00:41:28.559><c> verse</c><00:41:28.820><c> one?</c>

00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:36.760
Well,<00:41:36.139><c> that's</c><00:41:36.519><c> right.</c>

00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:39.380
Not<00:41:37.119><c> that</c><00:41:37.219><c> he</c><00:41:37.340><c> would</c><00:41:37.780><c> be</c><00:41:38.059><c> seen</c><00:41:38.079><c> to</c><00:41:38.239><c> contradict</c><00:41:38.559><c> himself</c><00:41:38.840><c> so</c><00:41:39.179><c> much,</c>

00:41:39.739 --> 00:41:42.980
but<00:41:39.840><c> what</c><00:41:40.039><c> you're</c><00:41:40.199><c> saying</c><00:41:40.440><c> is</c><00:41:40.639><c> nonetheless</c><00:41:41.380><c> along</c><00:41:42.599><c> the</c><00:41:42.800><c> right</c>

00:41:42.980 --> 00:41:43.440
line<00:41:43.219><c> of</c><00:41:43.340><c> things.</c>

00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:46.119
You<00:41:43.659><c> see,</c><00:41:44.599><c> by</c><00:41:44.820><c> just</c><00:41:45.099><c> saying</c><00:41:45.340><c> it</c><00:41:45.519><c> this</c><00:41:45.719><c> way,</c>

00:41:46.579 --> 00:41:50.760
there<00:41:46.719><c> is</c><00:41:46.960><c> therefore</c><00:41:47.420><c> now</c><00:41:48.039><c> no</c><00:41:48.719><c> sentence</c><00:41:49.340><c> against</c><00:41:49.920><c> a</c><00:41:50.179><c> person</c>

00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:52.940
who<00:41:51.260><c> is</c><00:41:51.659><c> in</c><00:41:52.119><c> Christ</c><00:41:52.519><c> Jesus.</c>

00:41:53.179 --> 00:41:53.900
Leave<00:41:53.340><c> it</c><00:41:53.619><c> there.</c>

00:41:54.260 --> 00:41:57.099
Now,<00:41:54.659><c> what</c><00:41:54.860><c> he's</c><00:41:55.159><c> doing</c><00:41:55.280><c> therefore</c><00:41:55.719><c> is</c><00:41:56.219><c> laying</c><00:41:56.539><c> the</c><00:41:56.760><c> emphasis</c>

00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:48.059
It's<00:42:47.000><c> identity.</c>

00:42:49.500 --> 00:42:54.920
And<00:42:49.619><c> then</c><00:42:49.780><c> he</c><00:42:49.860><c> says,</c><00:42:50.179><c> four,</c><00:42:51.820><c> the</c><00:42:52.139><c> law</c><00:42:52.579><c> of</c><00:42:53.199><c> the</c><00:42:53.539><c> spirit</c><00:42:53.840><c> of</c><00:42:54.300><c> life</c>

00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:06.219

00:43:06.219 --> 00:43:07.760
there's<00:43:06.460><c> one</c><00:43:06.820><c> statement,</c>

00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:16.360
And<00:43:12.639><c> there's</c><00:43:12.800><c> a</c><00:43:13.000><c> deliberate</c><00:43:13.420><c> contrast</c><00:43:13.980><c> made</c><00:43:14.340><c> between</c><00:43:14.800><c> four</c><00:43:15.260><c> words</c>

00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:23.500
Now,<00:43:21.960><c> Johnny</c><00:43:22.079><c> would</c><00:43:22.280><c> like</c><00:43:22.400><c> you</c><00:43:22.539><c> to</c><00:43:22.619><c> get</c><00:43:22.719><c> out</c><00:43:22.860><c> of</c><00:43:22.960><c> my</c><00:43:23.119><c> way</c><00:43:23.280><c> a</c><00:43:23.360><c> minute.</c>

00:43:23.619 --> 00:43:25.239
I'll<00:43:23.800><c> show</c><00:43:23.940><c> you</c><00:43:24.099><c> those</c><00:43:24.380><c> words.</c>

00:43:36.420 --> 00:43:39.760
Now,<00:43:38.039><c> it's</c><00:43:38.539><c> simple</c><00:43:38.679><c> really.</c>

00:43:40.139 --> 00:43:41.500
But<00:43:40.280><c> see</c><00:43:40.360><c> what</c><00:43:40.460><c> he's</c><00:43:40.820><c> done?</c>

00:43:41.639 --> 00:43:42.539

00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:51.719
And<00:43:49.239><c> he</c><00:43:49.420><c> talks</c><00:43:49.579><c> about</c><00:43:49.800><c> the</c><00:43:50.119><c> law</c><00:43:50.400><c> of</c><00:43:50.820><c> the</c><00:43:50.960><c> spirit</c><00:43:51.179><c> of</c><00:43:51.420><c> life</c><00:43:51.539><c> and</c>

We<00:43:58.480><c> all</c><00:43:58.679><c> understand</c><00:43:59.119><c> that</c><00:43:59.460><c> life</c><00:43:59.880><c> is</c><00:44:00.280><c> opposite</c><00:44:00.559><c> to</c><00:44:00.840><c> death.</c>

00:44:02.699 --> 00:44:05.500
But<00:44:02.900><c> what</c><00:44:03.199><c> would</c><00:44:03.360><c> you</c><00:44:03.679><c> say</c><00:44:03.840><c> would</c><00:44:04.000><c> be</c><00:44:04.119><c> the</c><00:44:04.300><c> opposite</c><00:44:04.519><c> of</c><00:44:04.760><c> sin?</c>

00:44:09.239 --> 00:44:11.559
If<00:44:09.679><c> you</c><00:44:09.940><c> were</c><00:44:10.099><c> left</c><00:44:10.320><c> out</c><00:44:10.480><c> to</c><00:44:10.599><c> put</c><00:44:10.679><c> the</c><00:44:10.880><c> opposite</c><00:44:11.079><c> of</c><00:44:11.300><c> sin,</c><00:44:11.420><c> what</c>

would<00:44:11.679><c> you</c><00:44:11.880><c> put?</c>

00:44:13.400 --> 00:44:15.440
Exactly,<00:44:14.139><c> or</c><00:44:14.280><c> obedience,</c><00:44:14.860><c> put</c><00:44:14.960><c> it</c><00:44:15.099><c> where</c><00:44:15.139><c> you're</c><00:44:15.320><c> on.</c>

00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:16.960
Paul<00:44:15.719><c> doesn't.</c>

00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:20.960
See<00:44:19.480><c> the</c><00:44:19.699><c> point</c><00:44:19.840><c> that</c><00:44:19.980><c> he's</c><00:44:20.179><c> making?</c>

00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:23.760
You<00:44:21.320><c> see,</c><00:44:21.619><c> not</c><00:44:21.900><c> that</c><00:44:22.320><c> righteousness</c><00:44:22.699><c> isn't</c><00:44:23.019><c> the</c><00:44:23.159><c> opposite</c><00:44:23.519><c> of</c>

00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:27.260
That's<00:44:25.800><c> perfectly</c><00:44:26.079><c> right.</c>

00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:32.239

00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:40.679
That's<00:44:39.500><c> the</c><00:44:39.639><c> contrast.</c>

00:44:41.039 --> 00:44:42.199
That<00:44:41.480><c> one's</c><00:44:41.920><c> plain.</c>

00:44:46.380 --> 00:44:48.579
And<00:44:46.500><c> that's</c><00:44:46.880><c> the</c><00:44:47.019><c> one</c><00:44:47.179><c> he's</c><00:44:47.420><c> going</c><00:44:47.500><c> to</c><00:44:47.619><c> be</c><00:44:47.699><c> able</c><00:44:47.880><c> to</c><00:44:48.059><c> contemplate</c><00:44:48.420><c> upon.</c>

00:44:48.860 --> 00:44:50.699
I<00:44:49.199><c> thank</c><00:44:49.519><c> God.</c>

00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:54.420
Now,<00:44:51.559><c> you</c><00:44:51.699><c> put</c><00:44:51.900><c> the</c><00:44:52.079><c> word</c><00:44:52.360><c> righteousness</c><00:44:52.900><c> there,</c><00:44:53.980><c> you</c><00:44:54.199><c> put</c>

which<00:44:55.900><c> is</c><00:44:56.139><c> a</c><00:44:56.440><c> contrast</c><00:44:56.719><c> with</c><00:44:56.960><c> sin,</c><00:44:57.260><c> and</c><00:44:57.460><c> put</c><00:44:57.599><c> that</c><00:44:57.820><c> in</c><00:44:57.920><c> the</c><00:44:58.119><c> mind</c><00:44:58.280><c> of</c>

a<00:44:58.820><c> doer,</c><00:44:59.219><c> either,</c>

00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:04.699
and<00:44:59.760><c> he</c><00:44:59.880><c> would</c><00:45:00.059><c> say,</c><00:45:00.320><c> I</c><00:45:00.519><c> thank</c><00:45:00.800><c> myself</c><00:45:01.679><c> for</c><00:45:03.539><c> having</c><00:45:03.820><c> overcome</c><00:45:04.280><c> sin.</c>

00:45:05.139 --> 00:45:06.280
What<00:45:05.280><c> a</c><00:45:05.420><c> wonderful</c><00:45:05.659><c> person</c><00:45:06.019><c> I</c><00:45:06.159><c> am.</c>

00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:08.099
But<00:45:06.719><c> Paul</c><00:45:06.900><c> puts</c><00:45:07.320><c> spirit.</c>

00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:11.239
I<00:45:09.199><c> think</c><00:45:09.480><c> that's</c><00:45:09.739><c> absolutely</c><00:45:10.139><c> classic.</c>

00:45:12.820 --> 00:45:14.340
Now,<00:45:12.900><c> it's</c><00:45:13.079><c> important</c><00:45:13.420><c> to</c><00:45:13.639><c> notice</c><00:45:13.900><c> that.</c>

00:45:14.679 --> 00:45:18.739
So<00:45:14.780><c> it's</c><00:45:15.360><c> the</c><00:45:15.619><c> law</c><00:45:16.639><c> of</c><00:45:17.000><c> the</c><00:45:17.199><c> spirit</c><00:45:17.400><c> of</c><00:45:17.659><c> life</c><00:45:17.860><c> in</c><00:45:18.119><c> Christ</c><00:45:18.440><c> Jesus.</c>

00:45:19.059 --> 00:45:21.340
Now,<00:45:19.260><c> anybody</c><00:45:19.519><c> wants</c><00:45:19.820><c> to</c><00:45:19.960><c> know</c><00:45:20.139><c> what</c><00:45:20.559><c> the</c><00:45:20.780><c> law</c><00:45:20.940><c> of</c><00:45:21.119><c> the</c><00:45:21.239><c> spirit</c>

00:45:26.579 --> 00:45:27.780
It's<00:45:26.739><c> a</c><00:45:26.780><c> magnificent</c><00:45:27.260><c> dissertation.</c>

00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:30.179

00:45:30.179 --> 00:45:32.599
beautiful<00:45:30.679><c> what</c><00:45:30.800><c> the</c><00:45:31.019><c> doctor</c><00:45:31.219><c> says</c><00:45:31.500><c> about</c><00:45:31.699><c> the</c><00:45:32.019><c> law</c><00:45:32.239><c> of</c><00:45:32.480><c> the</c>

00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:37.559
He<00:45:33.260><c> says</c><00:45:33.519><c> the</c><00:45:33.980><c> law</c><00:45:34.380><c> is</c><00:45:34.760><c> an</c><00:45:34.900><c> operation,</c><00:45:35.639><c> a</c><00:45:35.739><c> rule</c><00:45:36.019><c> of</c><00:45:36.219><c> one's</c><00:45:36.659><c> life,</c>

00:45:37.739 --> 00:45:40.679

00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:43.980

00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:48.639
Now,<00:45:46.719><c> we</c><00:45:46.820><c> won't</c><00:45:46.980><c> get</c><00:45:47.139><c> much</c><00:45:47.420><c> further</c><00:45:47.639><c> than</c><00:45:47.840><c> this</c><00:45:48.039><c> particular</c>
