00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:12.199

00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:14.560
Our<00:00:12.640><c> speaker</c><00:00:13.019><c> is</c><00:00:13.320><c> Brother</c><00:00:13.660><c> Jim</c><00:00:14.019><c> Stiles</c>

00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:18.000
from<00:00:14.980><c> the</c><00:00:15.300><c> Simi</c><00:00:15.640><c> Hills</c><00:00:15.880><c> Ecclesia</c><00:00:16.460><c> in</c><00:00:16.839><c> California.</c>

00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:22.379
His<00:00:19.199><c> theme</c><00:00:19.600><c> for</c><00:00:19.940><c> the</c><00:00:20.120><c> week</c><00:00:20.480><c> is</c><00:00:21.239><c> Romans,</c>

00:00:22.620 --> 00:00:26.559
God's<00:00:23.140><c> righteousness</c><00:00:23.780><c> by</c><00:00:24.339><c> faith</c><00:00:24.760><c> has</c><00:00:25.100><c> been</c><00:00:25.440><c> revealed.</c>

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.579
Today's<00:00:28.079><c> title</c><00:00:28.519><c> is,</c>

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.420
God's<00:00:30.260><c> righteousness</c><00:00:30.719><c> can</c><00:00:31.539><c> be</c><00:00:31.800><c> attained</c><00:00:32.240><c> by</c><00:00:32.579><c> faith.</c>

00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:36.979
Well,<00:00:36.100><c> good</c><00:00:36.179><c> morning,</c><00:00:36.539><c> everyone.</c>

00:00:37.259 --> 00:00:37.960
Good<00:00:37.579><c> morning.</c>

00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.299
Third<00:00:38.460><c> class,</c><00:00:39.100><c> still</c><00:00:39.320><c> awake,</c><00:00:40.020><c> get</c><00:00:40.140><c> enough</c><00:00:40.299><c> coffee.</c>

00:00:41.979 --> 00:00:42.460
Hope<00:00:42.159><c> so.</c>

00:00:42.619 --> 00:00:46.039
If<00:00:42.840><c> not,</c><00:00:43.600><c> I</c><00:00:43.719><c> have</c><00:00:43.799><c> the</c><00:00:44.039><c> snacks</c><00:00:44.259><c> to</c><00:00:44.460><c> keep</c><00:00:44.560><c> you</c><00:00:44.719><c> awake</c><00:00:44.899><c> too,</c><00:00:45.259><c> right?</c>

00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:47.179
It's<00:00:46.340><c> good.</c>

00:00:47.659 --> 00:00:49.399
So<00:00:48.020><c> yesterday</c><00:00:48.439><c> we</c><00:00:48.579><c> had</c><00:00:48.679><c> a</c><00:00:48.799><c> lot</c><00:00:48.880><c> to</c><00:00:49.079><c> cover.</c>

00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:51.159
Chapters<00:00:49.920><c> one</c><00:00:50.119><c> and</c><00:00:50.240><c> two</c><00:00:50.520><c> of</c><00:00:50.740><c> Romans</c>

00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:54.460
tend<00:00:51.820><c> to</c><00:00:52.060><c> be</c><00:00:52.380><c> two</c><00:00:52.619><c> of</c><00:00:52.719><c> the</c><00:00:52.899><c> easier</c><00:00:53.179><c> chapters</c><00:00:53.640><c> to</c><00:00:53.960><c> understand.</c>

00:00:54.460 --> 00:00:56.179
So<00:00:54.979><c> I</c><00:00:55.100><c> thought</c><00:00:55.240><c> it</c><00:00:55.340><c> would</c><00:00:55.479><c> be</c><00:00:55.600><c> a</c><00:00:55.740><c> good</c><00:00:55.880><c> chance</c>

00:00:56.179 --> 00:00:57.579
to<00:00:56.399><c> get</c><00:00:56.640><c> through</c><00:00:56.840><c> those</c><00:00:57.000><c> pretty</c><00:00:57.299><c> quick.</c>

00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.500
I<00:00:58.060><c> don't</c><00:00:58.259><c> think</c><00:00:58.399><c> that's</c><00:00:58.780><c> super</c><00:00:59.060><c> hard</c><00:00:59.280><c> to</c><00:00:59.520><c> understand.</c>

00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.259
But<00:01:00.679><c> chapter</c><00:01:00.899><c> three</c><00:01:01.340><c> is</c><00:01:01.560><c> all</c><00:01:01.719><c> we</c><00:01:01.840><c> have</c><00:01:01.979><c> to</c><00:01:02.119><c> cover</c><00:01:02.280><c> today.</c>

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.719
So<00:01:03.439><c> for</c><00:01:03.600><c> those</c><00:01:03.759><c> of</c><00:01:03.939><c> you</c><00:01:04.060><c> that</c><00:01:04.239><c> wanted</c><00:01:04.420><c> to</c><00:01:04.760><c> slow</c><00:01:04.920><c> down</c><00:01:05.120><c> a</c><00:01:05.219><c> little</c><00:01:05.459><c> bit</c>

00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.120
and<00:01:05.980><c> digest</c><00:01:06.359><c> some</c><00:01:06.579><c> of</c><00:01:06.739><c> this,</c><00:01:07.359><c> hopefully</c><00:01:07.620><c> we'll</c><00:01:07.819><c> get</c><00:01:08.000><c> that</c><00:01:08.219><c> chance.</c>

00:01:09.859 --> 00:01:12.519
I<00:01:10.040><c> did</c><00:01:10.260><c> want</c><00:01:10.400><c> to</c><00:01:10.579><c> suggest</c><00:01:10.859><c> to</c><00:01:11.099><c> you</c><00:01:11.359><c> that</c><00:01:11.840><c> some</c><00:01:12.079><c> of</c><00:01:12.239><c> the</c><00:01:12.359><c> things</c>

00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.780
that<00:01:12.739><c> I</c><00:01:12.900><c> have</c><00:01:13.060><c> found</c><00:01:13.200><c> very</c><00:01:13.519><c> useful</c><00:01:13.819><c> to</c><00:01:14.060><c> use</c><00:01:14.280><c> on</c><00:01:14.599><c> studying</c><00:01:14.879><c> Romans</c>

00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:18.159
is<00:01:16.239><c> certainly</c><00:01:16.640><c> John</c><00:01:17.019><c> Carter's</c><00:01:17.420><c> book.</c>

00:01:18.260 --> 00:01:20.579
It's<00:01:18.579><c> really</c><00:01:18.859><c> the</c><00:01:19.120><c> best</c><00:01:19.379><c> book</c><00:01:19.620><c> we</c><00:01:19.879><c> have</c><00:01:20.079><c> on</c><00:01:20.379><c> Romans,</c>

00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:22.219
I<00:01:20.760><c> think,</c><00:01:20.980><c> that's</c><00:01:21.180><c> out</c><00:01:21.319><c> there.</c>

00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.540
The<00:01:22.719><c> only</c><00:01:23.079><c> problem</c><00:01:23.760><c> with</c><00:01:24.000><c> John</c><00:01:24.299><c> Carter</c>

00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:26.939
is<00:01:24.900><c> that</c><00:01:25.140><c> he</c><00:01:25.319><c> gives</c><00:01:25.540><c> you</c><00:01:25.799><c> all</c><00:01:25.980><c> these</c><00:01:26.200><c> good</c><00:01:26.439><c> ideas</c>

00:01:26.939 --> 00:01:29.120
in<00:01:27.159><c> little</c><00:01:27.519><c> snippets,</c><00:01:28.219><c> like</c><00:01:28.439><c> here's</c><00:01:28.799><c> one,</c>

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:30.939
and<00:01:29.340><c> then</c><00:01:29.459><c> the</c><00:01:29.599><c> next</c><00:01:29.840><c> one,</c><00:01:30.060><c> and</c><00:01:30.159><c> the</c><00:01:30.280><c> next</c><00:01:30.579><c> one,</c>

00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:33.239
and<00:01:31.439><c> you</c><00:01:31.620><c> hardly</c><00:01:31.840><c> get</c><00:01:32.079><c> a</c><00:01:32.280><c> chance</c><00:01:32.500><c> to</c><00:01:32.739><c> digest</c><00:01:33.120><c> them.</c>

00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:34.599
You<00:01:33.340><c> have</c><00:01:33.480><c> to</c><00:01:33.599><c> read</c><00:01:33.719><c> it</c><00:01:33.879><c> so</c><00:01:34.239><c> slow.</c>

00:01:35.060 --> 00:01:37.579
And<00:01:35.319><c> then</c><00:01:35.439><c> he</c><00:01:35.640><c> refers</c><00:01:35.939><c> to</c><00:01:36.219><c> all</c><00:01:36.340><c> this</c><00:01:36.540><c> Old</c><00:01:36.799><c> Testament</c><00:01:37.140><c> backup</c>

00:01:37.579 --> 00:01:38.780
and<00:01:37.819><c> all</c><00:01:37.959><c> these</c><00:01:38.099><c> other</c><00:01:38.299><c> passages,</c>

00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:40.260
but<00:01:39.099><c> he</c><00:01:39.219><c> just</c><00:01:39.560><c> writes</c><00:01:39.700><c> them</c><00:01:39.939><c> down,</c>

00:01:40.260 --> 00:01:42.040
and<00:01:40.420><c> then</c><00:01:40.519><c> you</c><00:01:40.599><c> gotta</c><00:01:40.719><c> look</c><00:01:40.879><c> them</c><00:01:41.040><c> all</c><00:01:41.219><c> up.</c>

00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:44.359
So<00:01:42.400><c> for</c><00:01:42.659><c> all</c><00:01:42.840><c> of</c><00:01:42.959><c> you</c><00:01:43.060><c> that</c><00:01:43.180><c> are</c><00:01:43.340><c> lazy,</c><00:01:43.700><c> like</c><00:01:43.980><c> me,</c>

00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.019
after<00:01:44.719><c> reading</c><00:01:45.079><c> John</c><00:01:45.400><c> Carter's</c><00:01:45.739><c> book</c><00:01:45.840><c> a</c><00:01:45.939><c> few</c><00:01:46.099><c> times,</c>

00:01:47.099 --> 00:01:49.500
I<00:01:47.480><c> switched</c><00:01:47.760><c> to</c><00:01:47.959><c> listening</c><00:01:48.200><c> to</c><00:01:48.420><c> John</c><00:01:48.620><c> Martin's</c><00:01:49.079><c> classes</c>

00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:50.540
that<00:01:49.859><c> are</c><00:01:50.099><c> available.</c>

00:01:50.540 --> 00:01:54.920
He<00:01:51.079><c> did</c><00:01:51.400><c> 67</c><00:01:52.180><c> classes</c><00:01:52.799><c> on</c><00:01:53.219><c> Romans</c><00:01:53.599><c> over</c><00:01:54.099><c> three</c><00:01:54.500><c> years,</c>

00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:58.640
every<00:01:55.519><c> fortnight,</c><00:01:56.219><c> as</c><00:01:56.459><c> they</c><00:01:56.719><c> call</c><00:01:56.859><c> it,</c><00:01:57.500><c> at</c><00:01:57.659><c> their</c><00:01:57.799><c> Bible</c><00:01:58.099><c> class,</c>

00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:02.260
and<00:01:59.140><c> he</c><00:01:59.439><c> actually</c><00:01:59.840><c> goes</c><00:02:00.159><c> through</c><00:02:00.400><c> John</c><00:02:00.739><c> Carter's</c><00:02:01.260><c> material,</c>

00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:03.439
most<00:02:02.659><c> of</c><00:02:02.819><c> it</c><00:02:02.959><c> at</c><00:02:03.099><c> least,</c>

00:02:03.700 --> 00:02:07.079
and<00:02:04.159><c> he</c><00:02:04.480><c> looks</c><00:02:04.739><c> up</c><00:02:05.040><c> all</c><00:02:05.340><c> the</c><00:02:05.620><c> references,</c><00:02:06.180><c> which</c><00:02:06.400><c> is</c><00:02:06.680><c> awesome.</c>

00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.740
So<00:02:07.359><c> if</c><00:02:07.420><c> you're</c><00:02:07.560><c> in</c><00:02:07.700><c> the</c><00:02:07.879><c> car</c><00:02:08.240><c> or</c><00:02:08.500><c> you're</c><00:02:08.979><c> traveling</c><00:02:09.340><c> somewhere</c>

00:02:09.740 --> 00:02:12.460

They're<00:02:22.560><c> the</c><00:02:22.740><c> best</c><00:02:22.939><c> thing</c><00:02:23.139><c> I</c><00:02:23.460><c> found</c><00:02:23.699><c> on</c><00:02:24.020><c> Romans</c><00:02:24.219><c> myself,</c>

00:02:29.099 --> 00:02:31.379

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.659
There<00:02:49.319><c> was</c><00:02:49.520><c> like</c><00:02:49.800><c> a</c><00:02:50.039><c> huge</c><00:02:50.340><c> light</c><00:02:50.599><c> going</c><00:02:50.860><c> on</c><00:02:51.039><c> in</c><00:02:51.180><c> my</c><00:02:51.419><c> life.</c>

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.580
All<00:02:51.979><c> my</c><00:02:52.199><c> life</c><00:02:52.400><c> I'd</c><00:02:52.580><c> gone</c><00:02:52.659><c> to</c><00:02:52.879><c> Sunday</c><00:02:53.080><c> school,</c>

00:02:53.819 --> 00:02:56.500
I'd<00:02:54.039><c> done</c><00:02:54.159><c> these</c><00:02:54.439><c> Bible</c><00:02:54.719><c> marking</c><00:02:55.020><c> things</c><00:02:55.379><c> in</c><00:02:55.560><c> my</c><00:02:55.740><c> King</c><00:02:55.979><c> James</c><00:02:56.159><c> Bible,</c>

and<00:02:56.780><c> I</c><00:02:57.060><c> could</c><00:02:57.460><c> not</c><00:02:57.900><c> understand</c><00:02:58.379><c> it.</c>

00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:01.120
I<00:02:59.120><c> never</c><00:02:59.300><c> did</c><00:02:59.479><c> take</c><00:02:59.719><c> Shakespeare</c><00:03:00.180><c> and</c><00:03:00.400><c> all</c><00:03:00.520><c> that</c><00:03:00.680><c> kind</c><00:03:00.860><c> of</c><00:03:00.979><c> stuff</c>

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:02.659
because<00:03:01.379><c> I</c><00:03:01.639><c> never</c><00:03:01.840><c> could</c><00:03:02.060><c> understand</c><00:03:02.520><c> it,</c>

00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:04.060
and<00:03:02.780><c> I</c><00:03:02.900><c> can't</c><00:03:03.120><c> do</c><00:03:03.280><c> poetry</c><00:03:03.680><c> either.</c>

00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.360
But<00:03:04.819><c> I</c><00:03:05.120><c> could</c><00:03:05.360><c> read</c><00:03:05.639><c> an</c><00:03:05.819><c> RSV</c><00:03:06.319><c> and</c><00:03:06.479><c> actually,</c><00:03:07.060><c> wow,</c>

00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.620
you<00:03:07.639><c> could</c><00:03:07.819><c> read</c><00:03:08.039><c> this</c><00:03:08.280><c> and</c><00:03:08.560><c> actually</c><00:03:08.900><c> understand</c><00:03:09.379><c> it.</c>

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.960
And<00:03:10.300><c> now</c><00:03:10.500><c> today</c><00:03:10.719><c> we</c><00:03:10.919><c> have</c><00:03:11.159><c> so</c><00:03:11.419><c> many</c><00:03:11.659><c> good</c><00:03:12.219><c> modern</c><00:03:12.520><c> versions</c>

00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:14.580
that<00:03:13.219><c> even</c><00:03:13.759><c> the</c><00:03:13.960><c> new</c><00:03:14.080><c> King</c><00:03:14.280><c> James,</c>

00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:16.939
I've<00:03:14.900><c> noticed</c><00:03:15.080><c> a</c><00:03:15.460><c> lot</c><00:03:15.620><c> of</c><00:03:15.800><c> the</c><00:03:15.960><c> things</c><00:03:16.099><c> that</c><00:03:16.360><c> people</c><00:03:16.539><c> tell</c><00:03:16.800><c> you</c>

00:03:16.939 --> 00:03:18.680
in<00:03:17.060><c> Bible</c><00:03:17.280><c> classes</c><00:03:17.659><c> will</c><00:03:17.879><c> change</c><00:03:18.199><c> this</c><00:03:18.500><c> word,</c>

00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:20.060
and<00:03:18.860><c> this</c><00:03:19.020><c> word</c><00:03:19.159><c> really</c><00:03:19.460><c> means</c><00:03:19.719><c> that.</c>

00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.819
If<00:03:20.479><c> you</c><00:03:20.620><c> have</c><00:03:20.759><c> a</c><00:03:20.900><c> modern</c><00:03:21.080><c> version,</c><00:03:21.620><c> it's</c><00:03:21.819><c> already</c><00:03:22.020><c> done</c><00:03:22.240><c> for</c><00:03:22.539><c> you,</c>

00:03:22.819 --> 00:03:24.500
and<00:03:23.060><c> you're</c><00:03:23.539><c> all</c><00:03:23.800><c> set.</c>

00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.460
So<00:03:24.860><c> those</c><00:03:25.120><c> are</c><00:03:25.360><c> three</c><00:03:25.560><c> things</c><00:03:25.840><c> I</c><00:03:26.060><c> would</c><00:03:26.219><c> highly</c><00:03:26.479><c> recommend.</c>

00:03:27.939 --> 00:03:29.599
The<00:03:28.180><c> overall</c><00:03:28.460><c> strategy</c><00:03:28.939><c> of</c><00:03:29.099><c> this</c><00:03:29.319><c> letter,</c>

00:03:29.699 --> 00:03:32.180
I<00:03:29.979><c> did</c><00:03:30.180><c> want</c><00:03:30.300><c> to</c><00:03:30.479><c> take</c><00:03:30.599><c> some</c><00:03:30.840><c> time</c><00:03:31.039><c> today</c><00:03:31.379><c> and</c><00:03:31.620><c> look</c><00:03:31.800><c> at</c><00:03:31.979><c> that</c>

00:03:32.180 --> 00:03:33.360

00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.500
A<00:03:48.419><c> righteousness</c><00:03:48.879><c> that</c><00:03:49.280><c> comes</c><00:03:49.520><c> based</c><00:03:49.919><c> on</c><00:03:50.219><c> faith</c>

00:03:50.500 --> 00:03:53.979

00:03:56.060 --> 00:03:58.360

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:13.620
It's<00:04:12.199><c> like</c><00:04:12.340><c> God</c><00:04:12.580><c> waited</c><00:04:12.960><c> long</c><00:04:13.379><c> enough</c>

00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:20.839

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.000

I<00:06:14.339><c> ever</c><00:06:14.579><c> really</c><00:06:15.079><c> understood</c><00:06:15.639><c> Romans</c><00:06:16.040><c> nine.</c>

00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:18.540
And<00:06:17.199><c> you</c><00:06:17.259><c> go</c><00:06:17.420><c> back</c><00:06:17.680><c> now</c><00:06:17.920><c> and</c><00:06:18.060><c> you</c><00:06:18.139><c> can</c><00:06:18.319><c> look</c>

00:06:18.540 --> 00:06:20.079
in<00:06:18.699><c> the</c><00:06:18.779><c> New</c><00:06:18.920><c> King</c><00:06:19.120><c> James</c><00:06:19.420><c> and</c><00:06:19.639><c> see</c><00:06:19.839><c> it,</c>

00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.360
but<00:06:20.560><c> it</c><00:06:20.860><c> just</c><00:06:21.240><c> jumped</c><00:06:21.519><c> out</c><00:06:21.839><c> at</c><00:06:22.079><c> us.</c>

00:06:22.699 --> 00:06:25.199
So<00:06:22.899><c> we'll</c><00:06:23.079><c> look</c><00:06:23.259><c> at</c><00:06:23.399><c> that,</c><00:06:23.620><c> God</c><00:06:23.839><c> willing,</c><00:06:24.060><c> on</c><00:06:24.360><c> Sunday.</c>

00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:28.920
And<00:06:25.639><c> then</c><00:06:25.800><c> the</c><00:06:26.040><c> exhortations</c><00:06:26.600><c> in</c><00:06:26.779><c> chapters</c><00:06:27.160><c> 12</c><00:06:27.860><c> through</c><00:06:28.120><c> 15</c><00:06:28.560><c> mainly</c>

00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.360
and<00:06:29.360><c> the</c><00:06:29.660><c> final</c><00:06:29.959><c> reading</c><00:06:30.220><c> in</c><00:06:30.379><c> 16,</c>

00:06:31.579 --> 00:06:33.420
those<00:06:31.860><c> exhortations,</c><00:06:32.680><c> as</c><00:06:32.879><c> I'm</c><00:06:33.040><c> gonna</c><00:06:33.199><c> try</c>

00:06:33.420 --> 00:06:34.579
to<00:06:33.560><c> point</c><00:06:33.759><c> out</c><00:06:33.939><c> to</c><00:06:34.019><c> you</c><00:06:34.079><c> this</c><00:06:34.319><c> week,</c>

00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:36.959
they're<00:06:35.120><c> not</c><00:06:35.399><c> just</c><00:06:35.779><c> randomly</c><00:06:36.279><c> thrown</c><00:06:36.600><c> in.</c>

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.819
They're<00:06:37.420><c> things</c><00:06:37.720><c> that</c><00:06:37.959><c> are</c><00:06:38.259><c> based</c><00:06:38.540><c> on</c><00:06:39.000><c> the</c><00:06:39.319><c> atonement.</c>

00:06:40.259 --> 00:06:42.680
The<00:06:40.560><c> atonement</c><00:06:40.899><c> is</c><00:06:41.199><c> supposed</c><00:06:41.519><c> to</c><00:06:41.839><c> change</c><00:06:42.040><c> our</c><00:06:42.360><c> life.</c>

00:06:43.100 --> 00:06:45.180
It's<00:06:43.480><c> not</c><00:06:43.680><c> a</c><00:06:43.819><c> bunch</c><00:06:43.959><c> of</c><00:06:44.139><c> things</c><00:06:44.300><c> to</c><00:06:44.579><c> argue</c><00:06:44.839><c> over.</c>

00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.220
And<00:06:45.740><c> if</c><00:06:45.899><c> we</c><00:06:46.079><c> argue</c><00:06:46.399><c> over</c><00:06:46.639><c> it,</c><00:06:46.759><c> I</c><00:06:46.899><c> think</c><00:06:47.079><c> we've</c><00:06:47.319><c> really</c><00:06:47.519><c> missed</c><00:06:47.800><c> it</c>

00:06:48.220 --> 00:06:51.360
because<00:06:48.800><c> it's</c><00:06:49.259><c> supposed</c><00:06:49.519><c> to</c><00:06:49.839><c> change</c><00:06:50.120><c> the</c><00:06:50.339><c> way</c><00:06:50.500><c> we</c><00:06:50.800><c> treat</c><00:06:50.959><c> people,</c>

00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.240
how<00:06:51.639><c> we</c><00:06:51.879><c> behave,</c><00:06:52.540><c> and</c><00:06:52.879><c> how</c><00:06:53.360><c> much</c><00:06:53.680><c> we're</c><00:06:53.959><c> willing</c>

00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.139
to<00:06:54.620><c> take</c><00:06:54.839><c> the</c><00:06:55.139><c> risk</c><00:06:55.500><c> of</c><00:06:56.100><c> getting</c><00:06:56.399><c> involved</c>

00:06:57.139 --> 00:06:59.139
in<00:06:57.480><c> helping</c><00:06:57.720><c> to</c><00:06:58.139><c> save</c><00:06:58.360><c> other</c><00:06:58.680><c> people</c>

00:06:59.139 --> 00:07:01.420
because<00:06:59.720><c> that's</c><00:07:00.100><c> what</c><00:07:00.300><c> Christ</c><00:07:00.600><c> did.</c>

00:07:01.699 --> 00:07:05.439
So<00:07:02.000><c> that's</c><00:07:02.540><c> the</c><00:07:02.860><c> great</c><00:07:03.220><c> idea</c><00:07:03.740><c> of</c><00:07:04.199><c> the</c><00:07:04.480><c> overall</c><00:07:04.740><c> strategy</c><00:07:05.220><c> of</c>

00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:05.600
the<00:07:05.459><c> letter</c>

00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.759
and<00:07:05.740><c> now</c><00:07:05.920><c> we</c><00:07:06.040><c> get</c><00:07:06.160><c> to</c><00:07:06.319><c> look</c><00:07:06.459><c> at</c><00:07:06.620><c> it</c><00:07:06.860><c> individually.</c>

00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.699
So<00:07:08.040><c> so</c><00:07:08.259><c> far</c><00:07:08.459><c> we</c><00:07:08.600><c> got</c><00:07:08.800><c> to</c><00:07:08.959><c> the</c><00:07:09.100><c> gospel</c><00:07:09.379><c> of</c><00:07:09.600><c> God</c><00:07:09.839><c> in</c><00:07:10.079><c> chapter</c><00:07:10.339><c> one,</c>

00:07:10.899 --> 00:07:13.620
that<00:07:11.079><c> God</c><00:07:11.360><c> has</c><00:07:11.680><c> a</c><00:07:12.079><c> power</c><00:07:12.480><c> available</c><00:07:13.000><c> to</c><00:07:13.279><c> us</c>

00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:17.399
that<00:07:14.259><c> will</c><00:07:14.579><c> bring</c><00:07:14.819><c> about</c><00:07:15.240><c> salvation</c><00:07:16.019><c> by</c><00:07:16.540><c> faith.</c>

00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.740
And<00:07:17.620><c> then</c><00:07:17.720><c> he</c><00:07:17.959><c> showed</c><00:07:18.100><c> the</c><00:07:18.360><c> Gentiles</c><00:07:18.939><c> could</c><00:07:19.139><c> never</c><00:07:19.360><c> attain</c>

00:07:19.740 --> 00:07:22.620
to<00:07:19.959><c> God's</c><00:07:20.319><c> righteousness</c><00:07:20.699><c> and</c><00:07:21.379><c> neither</c><00:07:21.680><c> could</c><00:07:22.000><c> the</c><00:07:22.279><c> Jews.</c>

00:07:22.980 --> 00:07:27.100
And<00:07:23.240><c> yet</c><00:07:23.439><c> he</c><00:07:23.779><c> reminds</c><00:07:24.279><c> the</c><00:07:24.680><c> Jews</c><00:07:25.040><c> that</c><00:07:25.439><c> you</c><00:07:25.759><c> were</c><00:07:26.019><c> more</c><00:07:26.319><c> responsible</c>

00:07:27.100 --> 00:07:30.819
than<00:07:27.339><c> those</c><00:07:27.639><c> Gentiles</c><00:07:28.379><c> because</c><00:07:29.000><c> you</c><00:07:29.560><c> had</c><00:07:30.040><c> the</c><00:07:30.560><c> truth.</c>

00:07:30.899 --> 00:07:35.000
You<00:07:31.139><c> had</c><00:07:31.660><c> all</c><00:07:32.360><c> the</c><00:07:32.759><c> external</c><00:07:33.279><c> things</c><00:07:33.620><c> of</c><00:07:33.839><c> the</c><00:07:34.060><c> rituals</c><00:07:34.399><c> of</c><00:07:34.639><c> the</c><00:07:34.800><c> law</c>

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.860
that<00:07:35.360><c> were</c><00:07:35.620><c> supposed</c><00:07:36.120><c> to</c><00:07:36.360><c> help</c><00:07:36.560><c> focus</c><00:07:36.980><c> you</c><00:07:37.319><c> on</c><00:07:37.699><c> salvation</c><00:07:38.339><c> by</c><00:07:38.980><c> faith.</c>

00:07:39.980 --> 00:07:42.439
And<00:07:40.160><c> instead</c><00:07:40.480><c> what</c><00:07:40.660><c> you</c><00:07:40.899><c> did</c><00:07:41.100><c> is</c><00:07:41.339><c> you</c><00:07:41.600><c> turned</c><00:07:41.759><c> it</c><00:07:41.899><c> all</c><00:07:42.040><c> around</c>

00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.560
and<00:07:42.660><c> tried</c><00:07:42.860><c> to</c><00:07:43.040><c> use</c><00:07:43.160><c> it</c><00:07:43.300><c> as</c><00:07:43.699><c> wow,</c><00:07:44.180><c> don't</c><00:07:44.319><c> I</c><00:07:44.500><c> look</c><00:07:44.620><c> good</c><00:07:44.860><c> before</c><00:07:45.180><c> God?</c>

00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.660
And<00:07:46.279><c> you</c><00:07:46.519><c> blew</c><00:07:46.680><c> it</c><00:07:47.300><c> because</c><00:07:47.800><c> you</c><00:07:48.220><c> misused</c><00:07:48.920><c> God's</c><00:07:49.339><c> law.</c>

00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:51.759
And<00:07:50.300><c> as</c><00:07:50.480><c> Paul's</c><00:07:50.680><c> gonna</c><00:07:50.839><c> point</c><00:07:51.100><c> out</c><00:07:51.259><c> through</c><00:07:51.439><c> the</c><00:07:51.600><c> letter,</c>

00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:53.379
there<00:07:51.939><c> was</c><00:07:52.180><c> never</c><00:07:52.379><c> a</c><00:07:52.639><c> problem</c><00:07:52.839><c> with</c><00:07:53.019><c> the</c><00:07:53.180><c> law.</c>

00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:55.699
The<00:07:53.620><c> law</c><00:07:53.759><c> did</c><00:07:53.959><c> exactly</c><00:07:54.480><c> what</c><00:07:54.660><c> it</c><00:07:54.800><c> was</c><00:07:55.040><c> supposed</c><00:07:55.240><c> to</c><00:07:55.459><c> do.</c>

00:07:55.699 --> 00:07:58.800
We<00:07:56.040><c> just</c><00:07:56.500><c> used</c><00:07:56.879><c> it</c><00:07:57.220><c> the</c><00:07:57.439><c> wrong</c><00:07:57.819><c> way.</c>

00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.240
And<00:07:59.199><c> that's</c><00:07:59.480><c> really</c><00:07:59.819><c> what</c><00:08:00.040><c> Paul</c><00:08:00.259><c> is</c><00:08:00.500><c> after.</c>

00:08:01.379 --> 00:08:03.399
So<00:08:01.720><c> today</c><00:08:02.019><c> in</c><00:08:02.199><c> chapter</c><00:08:02.459><c> three,</c><00:08:02.819><c> we're</c><00:08:02.920><c> gonna</c><00:08:03.019><c> look</c><00:08:03.259><c> at</c>

00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.779
how<00:08:03.560><c> Paul</c><00:08:03.819><c> introduces</c><00:08:04.300><c> the</c><00:08:04.579><c> idea</c><00:08:04.879><c> of</c><00:08:05.180><c> salvation</c>

00:08:05.779 --> 00:08:09.060
by<00:08:06.519><c> a</c><00:08:06.779><c> righteousness</c><00:08:07.220><c> that</c><00:08:07.759><c> comes</c><00:08:08.160><c> through</c><00:08:08.620><c> faith,</c>

00:08:09.459 --> 00:08:11.319
not<00:08:09.699><c> something</c><00:08:10.040><c> where</c><00:08:10.240><c> you</c><00:08:10.439><c> have</c><00:08:10.620><c> to</c><00:08:10.920><c> build</c><00:08:11.100><c> up</c>

00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.720
a<00:08:11.459><c> bunch</c><00:08:11.600><c> of</c><00:08:11.879><c> good</c><00:08:12.139><c> deeds</c><00:08:12.439><c> to</c><00:08:12.699><c> look</c><00:08:12.860><c> good</c><00:08:13.060><c> before</c><00:08:13.399><c> God.</c>

00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.680

00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.540
And<00:08:29.220><c> I</c><00:08:29.459><c> remember</c><00:08:29.839><c> as</c><00:08:30.060><c> a</c><00:08:30.180><c> young</c><00:08:30.319><c> person,</c><00:08:30.720><c> I</c><00:08:30.879><c> had</c><00:08:31.040><c> that</c><00:08:31.319><c> wrong.</c>

00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:33.840
I<00:08:31.939><c> thought</c><00:08:32.220><c> that's</c><00:08:32.559><c> what</c><00:08:32.759><c> the</c><00:08:32.899><c> law</c><00:08:33.039><c> was</c><00:08:33.259><c> written</c><00:08:33.419><c> for.</c>

00:08:34.299 --> 00:08:38.320
And<00:08:34.539><c> Paul</c><00:08:34.759><c> is</c><00:08:35.139><c> so</c><00:08:35.480><c> clear</c><00:08:35.799><c> in</c><00:08:36.179><c> Hebrews</c><00:08:36.679><c> and</c><00:08:36.980><c> Galatians</c><00:08:37.679><c> and</c><00:08:37.919><c> Romans</c>

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:42.860
that<00:08:38.980><c> God</c><00:08:39.360><c> never</c><00:08:40.000><c> intended</c><00:08:40.639><c> ever</c><00:08:41.340><c> to</c><00:08:41.740><c> justify</c><00:08:42.299><c> anybody</c>

00:08:42.860 --> 00:08:44.460
by<00:08:43.220><c> deeds</c><00:08:43.399><c> of</c><00:08:43.580><c> the</c><00:08:43.740><c> law.</c>

00:08:44.539 --> 00:08:47.559
That<00:08:44.720><c> was</c><00:08:44.980><c> never</c><00:08:45.179><c> the</c><00:08:45.399><c> intent</c><00:08:45.779><c> because</c><00:08:46.360><c> the</c><00:08:46.620><c> law</c><00:08:46.779><c> was</c><00:08:47.120><c> designed</c>

00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:50.700
to<00:08:48.240><c> make</c><00:08:48.559><c> sin</c><00:08:48.960><c> appear</c><00:08:49.500><c> exceedingly</c><00:08:50.159><c> sinful.</c>

00:08:50.700 --> 00:08:52.980
That's<00:08:51.179><c> what</c><00:08:51.299><c> it</c><00:08:51.419><c> was</c><00:08:51.659><c> designed</c><00:08:51.980><c> to</c><00:08:52.200><c> do.</c>

00:08:53.019 --> 00:08:55.679
So<00:08:53.299><c> that's</c><00:08:53.679><c> what</c><00:08:53.779><c> he's</c><00:08:54.039><c> gonna</c><00:08:54.200><c> introduce</c><00:08:54.559><c> to</c><00:08:54.740><c> us</c><00:08:54.879><c> today.</c>

00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:57.820
So<00:08:55.980><c> he</c><00:08:56.200><c> starts</c><00:08:56.460><c> out</c><00:08:56.720><c> with</c><00:08:56.980><c> a</c><00:08:57.100><c> bunch</c><00:08:57.220><c> of</c><00:08:57.460><c> questions</c>

00:08:57.820 --> 00:08:59.379
because<00:08:58.259><c> at</c><00:08:58.500><c> the</c><00:08:58.580><c> end</c><00:08:58.700><c> of</c><00:08:58.860><c> chapter</c><00:08:59.100><c> two,</c>

00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:01.019
remember<00:08:59.740><c> he</c><00:08:59.980><c> dealt</c><00:09:00.200><c> with</c><00:09:00.500><c> circumcision</c>

00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:03.659
and<00:09:01.220><c> he</c><00:09:01.440><c> finally</c><00:09:01.679><c> threw</c><00:09:01.879><c> out</c><00:09:02.120><c> there</c><00:09:02.259><c> to</c><00:09:02.440><c> the</c><00:09:02.620><c> Jewish</c><00:09:02.820><c> thinking,</c>

00:09:03.700 --> 00:09:07.980
really<00:09:04.220><c> it's</c><00:09:04.600><c> not</c><00:09:04.759><c> about</c><00:09:05.059><c> all</c><00:09:05.360><c> that</c><00:09:05.980><c> ritual</c><00:09:06.460><c> stuff</c><00:09:06.759><c> that</c><00:09:06.960><c> you</c><00:09:07.159><c> do.</c>

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.259
It'd<00:09:08.139><c> be</c><00:09:08.240><c> like</c><00:09:08.399><c> telling</c><00:09:08.659><c> our</c><00:09:08.960><c> sisters,</c>

00:09:09.340 --> 00:09:12.100
it's<00:09:09.519><c> not</c><00:09:09.720><c> really</c><00:09:10.039><c> about</c><00:09:10.340><c> wearing</c><00:09:10.700><c> those</c><00:09:11.120><c> hats,</c>

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.460
but<00:09:12.399><c> it's</c><00:09:12.620><c> really</c><00:09:13.000><c> about</c><00:09:13.879><c> submission.</c>

00:09:14.779 --> 00:09:16.740
And<00:09:15.019><c> it's</c><00:09:15.179><c> really</c><00:09:15.519><c> about</c><00:09:15.940><c> behavior,</c>

00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:19.379
not<00:09:17.240><c> so</c><00:09:17.539><c> much</c><00:09:18.000><c> the</c><00:09:18.419><c> hats</c><00:09:18.740><c> of</c><00:09:18.980><c> the</c><00:09:19.200><c> veil</c>

00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:20.580
or<00:09:19.500><c> whatever</c><00:09:19.740><c> you</c><00:09:19.919><c> wanna</c><00:09:20.080><c> call</c><00:09:20.360><c> it.</c>

00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:22.779
And<00:09:21.019><c> so</c><00:09:21.379><c> people</c><00:09:21.779><c> had</c><00:09:21.960><c> been</c><00:09:22.120><c> growing</c><00:09:22.320><c> up</c><00:09:22.559><c> thinking,</c>

00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.320
I<00:09:22.960><c> gotta</c><00:09:23.120><c> look</c><00:09:23.320><c> good</c><00:09:23.480><c> before</c><00:09:23.740><c> God,</c><00:09:24.240><c> I</c><00:09:24.399><c> gotta</c><00:09:24.600><c> do</c><00:09:24.779><c> this</c><00:09:25.019><c> ritual,</c>

00:09:25.419 --> 00:09:28.000
I<00:09:25.519><c> gotta</c><00:09:25.659><c> put</c><00:09:25.820><c> the</c><00:09:26.019><c> hat</c><00:09:26.139><c> on</c><00:09:26.500><c> and</c><00:09:27.139><c> missed</c><00:09:27.440><c> the</c><00:09:27.740><c> point</c>

00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.000
that<00:09:28.259><c> this</c><00:09:28.519><c> was</c><00:09:28.720><c> supposed</c><00:09:29.059><c> to</c><00:09:29.320><c> change</c><00:09:29.539><c> behavior.</c>

00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:32.539
So<00:09:30.659><c> Paul's</c><00:09:31.019><c> done</c><00:09:31.200><c> that</c><00:09:31.440><c> now</c><00:09:31.659><c> with</c><00:09:32.019><c> circumcision,</c>

00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.940

00:09:36.220 --> 00:09:38.919
I<00:09:36.440><c> know</c><00:09:36.659><c> how</c><00:09:36.899><c> you're</c><00:09:37.100><c> thinking,</c><00:09:37.559><c> I</c><00:09:37.759><c> know</c><00:09:37.940><c> what</c><00:09:38.120><c> you're</c><00:09:38.340><c> gonna</c><00:09:38.480><c> say</c>

00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.659
because<00:09:39.659><c> he</c><00:09:40.059><c> knew</c><00:09:40.279><c> the</c><00:09:40.639><c> Jewish</c><00:09:40.919><c> mind</c><00:09:41.440><c> so</c><00:09:41.840><c> well.</c>

00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:45.759
So<00:09:43.679><c> we're</c><00:09:43.879><c> gonna</c><00:09:44.080><c> right</c><00:09:44.279><c> away,</c><00:09:44.659><c> what</c><00:09:44.899><c> advantage</c><00:09:45.379><c> then</c><00:09:45.559><c> has</c>

00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:00.559
He's<00:09:56.600><c> not</c><00:09:56.919><c> throwing</c><00:09:57.200><c> out</c><00:09:57.720><c> all</c><00:09:57.960><c> of</c><00:09:58.139><c> the</c><00:09:58.320><c> Jewish</c><00:09:58.539><c> culture,</c><00:09:59.299><c> no</c><00:09:59.659><c> way.</c>

00:10:00.580 --> 00:10:03.340

00:10:55.820 --> 00:10:59.159
And<00:10:56.000><c> Paul</c><00:10:56.179><c> says</c><00:10:56.399><c> right</c><00:10:56.639><c> away,</c><00:10:57.120><c> certainly</c><00:10:57.860><c> not,</c><00:10:58.580><c> no</c><00:10:58.820><c> way.</c>

00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:03.620

00:11:05.820 --> 00:11:09.620
You<00:11:06.179><c> just</c><00:11:06.519><c> didn't</c><00:11:06.940><c> understand</c><00:11:07.620><c> how</c><00:11:07.980><c> it</c><00:11:08.179><c> was</c><00:11:08.320><c> gonna</c><00:11:08.480><c> come</c><00:11:08.740><c> about.</c>

00:11:09.659 --> 00:11:11.980
Indeed,<00:11:10.159><c> let</c><00:11:10.240><c> God</c><00:11:10.440><c> be</c><00:11:10.700><c> true</c><00:11:10.899><c> and</c><00:11:11.120><c> every</c><00:11:11.379><c> man</c><00:11:11.539><c> a</c><00:11:11.740><c> liar</c>

00:11:11.980 --> 00:11:15.500
as<00:11:12.220><c> it's</c><00:11:12.500><c> written</c><00:11:12.759><c> that</c><00:11:13.159><c> you</c><00:11:13.360><c> may</c><00:11:13.539><c> be</c><00:11:13.759><c> justified</c><00:11:14.379><c> in</c><00:11:15.019><c> your</c><00:11:15.240><c> words</c>

00:11:15.500 --> 00:11:19.399
and<00:11:15.679><c> maybe</c><00:11:17.220><c> overcome</c><00:11:17.860><c> when</c><00:11:18.100><c> you</c><00:11:18.240><c> are</c><00:11:18.500><c> judged.</c>

00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:24.039
Now,<00:11:19.980><c> Psalm</c><00:11:20.019><c> 51,</c><00:11:22.240><c> and</c><00:11:22.440><c> that</c><00:11:22.779><c> should</c><00:11:22.960><c> ring</c><00:11:23.159><c> a</c><00:11:23.299><c> bell</c><00:11:23.460><c> in</c><00:11:23.639><c> our</c><00:11:23.799><c> ears,</c>

00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.840
Psalm<00:11:24.320><c> 51,</c><00:11:25.679><c> and</c><00:11:26.120><c> you</c><00:11:26.279><c> start</c><00:11:26.480><c> wondering,</c>

00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.019
and<00:11:27.220><c> this</c><00:11:27.320><c> is</c><00:11:27.399><c> one</c><00:11:27.559><c> of</c><00:11:27.700><c> the</c><00:11:27.820><c> things</c><00:11:27.940><c> I</c><00:11:28.179><c> love</c><00:11:28.299><c> to</c><00:11:28.480><c> do</c><00:11:28.559><c> in</c><00:11:28.759><c> Romans,</c>

00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:32.720
is<00:11:29.340><c> look</c><00:11:29.559><c> at</c><00:11:29.820><c> why</c><00:11:30.259><c> did</c><00:11:30.519><c> Paul</c><00:11:30.879><c> use</c><00:11:31.379><c> these</c><00:11:31.779><c> passages?</c>

00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.679
And<00:11:33.440><c> this</c><00:11:33.639><c> is</c><00:11:33.879><c> great</c><00:11:34.080><c> because</c><00:11:34.379><c> Paul</c><00:11:34.840><c> is</c><00:11:35.200><c> probably</c>

00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.519
a<00:11:36.019><c> New</c><00:11:36.279><c> Testament</c><00:11:36.639><c> writer</c><00:11:37.100><c> other</c><00:11:37.639><c> than</c><00:11:37.820><c> Jesus</c><00:11:38.159><c> Christ.</c>

00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:41.519
He's<00:11:38.820><c> probably</c><00:11:39.639><c> the</c><00:11:40.299><c> best</c><00:11:40.779><c> expositor</c>

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:42.840
on<00:11:41.759><c> how</c><00:11:41.940><c> to</c><00:11:42.080><c> use</c><00:11:42.220><c> the</c><00:11:42.360><c> Old</c><00:11:42.500><c> Testament.</c>

00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.899
He<00:11:43.440><c> does</c><00:11:43.720><c> things</c><00:11:44.100><c> in</c><00:11:44.320><c> the</c><00:11:44.480><c> Bible</c><00:11:44.720><c> and</c><00:11:44.919><c> he</c><00:11:45.039><c> does</c><00:11:45.200><c> in</c><00:11:45.360><c> Romans</c><00:11:45.620><c> here</c>

00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:47.139
that<00:11:46.120><c> we</c><00:11:46.360><c> would</c><00:11:46.559><c> never</c><00:11:46.759><c> do.</c>

00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:50.700
And<00:11:47.639><c> he,</c><00:11:48.179><c> like,</c><00:11:48.399><c> look</c><00:11:48.639><c> at</c><00:11:48.759><c> the</c><00:11:48.779><c> use</c><00:11:48.940><c> of</c><00:11:49.120><c> Melchizedek</c><00:11:49.659><c> in</c><00:11:49.879><c> Hebrews.</c>

00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:52.679
Who<00:11:51.059><c> would</c><00:11:51.220><c> have</c><00:11:51.320><c> ever</c><00:11:51.559><c> thought</c><00:11:51.740><c> to</c><00:11:51.899><c> use</c><00:11:52.059><c> Melchizedek</c>

00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:53.379
the<00:11:52.820><c> way</c><00:11:52.919><c> he</c><00:11:53.139><c> does?</c>

00:11:53.740 --> 00:11:56.159
But<00:11:53.980><c> this</c><00:11:54.259><c> is</c><00:11:54.419><c> what</c><00:11:54.600><c> Paul</c><00:11:54.840><c> does</c><00:11:55.100><c> and</c><00:11:55.220><c> it's</c><00:11:55.519><c> fun</c><00:11:55.779><c> to</c><00:11:56.019><c> look</c>

00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.039
at<00:11:56.320><c> how</c><00:11:56.519><c> he</c><00:11:56.759><c> read</c><00:11:56.960><c> his</c><00:11:57.200><c> Bible,</c>

00:11:58.179 --> 00:12:00.139
certainly<00:11:58.519><c> trained</c><00:11:58.840><c> by</c><00:11:59.100><c> Jesus</c><00:11:59.440><c> Christ</c><00:11:59.720><c> himself.</c>

00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:02.919
So<00:12:00.879><c> he</c><00:12:01.080><c> quotes</c><00:12:01.299><c> from</c><00:12:01.600><c> Psalm</c><00:12:01.759><c> 51,</c><00:12:02.360><c> but</c><00:12:02.480><c> you</c><00:12:02.620><c> think</c><00:12:02.740><c> about,</c>

00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.460
well,<00:12:03.179><c> why,</c><00:12:03.539><c> what's</c><00:12:03.759><c> Psalm</c><00:12:04.000><c> 51</c><00:12:04.320><c> about,</c><00:12:04.919><c> right?</c>

00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.580
And<00:12:06.000><c> then</c><00:12:06.139><c> you</c><00:12:06.279><c> start</c><00:12:06.500><c> putting</c><00:12:06.720><c> pieces</c><00:12:07.120><c> together.</c>

00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.379
Oh,<00:12:08.240><c> yeah,</c><00:12:08.840><c> that's</c><00:12:09.139><c> about</c><00:12:09.360><c> David.</c>

00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.860
And<00:12:10.559><c> David</c><00:12:10.940><c> had</c><00:12:11.179><c> just</c><00:12:11.460><c> committed</c><00:12:11.779><c> to</c><00:12:12.340><c> sins</c>

00:12:12.860 --> 00:12:16.840
that<00:12:13.259><c> were</c><00:12:13.580><c> not</c><00:12:13.980><c> justifiable</c><00:12:14.700><c> by</c><00:12:15.659><c> law.</c>

00:12:17.100 --> 00:12:21.120
But<00:12:17.320><c> he</c><00:12:17.559><c> was</c><00:12:18.019><c> forgiven</c><00:12:18.720><c> by</c><00:12:19.559><c> the</c><00:12:20.000><c> grace</c><00:12:20.379><c> of</c><00:12:20.700><c> God</c>

00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:22.879
and<00:12:21.440><c> the</c><00:12:21.779><c> mercy</c><00:12:22.240><c> of</c><00:12:22.539><c> God.</c>

00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.960
And<00:12:23.340><c> so</c><00:12:23.559><c> Paul</c><00:12:23.779><c> keeps</c><00:12:24.240><c> throwing</c><00:12:24.639><c> in</c><00:12:24.960><c> these</c><00:12:25.360><c> supportive</c><00:12:25.639><c> things</c>

00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:27.779
like<00:12:26.259><c> this</c><00:12:26.740><c> on</c><00:12:27.120><c> the</c><00:12:27.320><c> peripherals,</c>

00:12:27.779 --> 00:12:30.080
trying<00:12:28.159><c> to</c><00:12:28.279><c> get</c><00:12:28.440><c> the</c><00:12:28.720><c> Jews</c><00:12:28.960><c> to</c><00:12:29.320><c> understand</c>

00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.460
this<00:12:30.679><c> is</c><00:12:30.980><c> the</c><00:12:31.120><c> way</c><00:12:31.259><c> it</c><00:12:31.580><c> always</c><00:12:32.059><c> has</c><00:12:32.620><c> been.</c>

00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.240
It's<00:12:34.360><c> a</c><00:12:34.500><c> good</c><00:12:34.720><c> strategy.</c>

00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:36.799
And<00:12:35.840><c> then</c><00:12:35.919><c> he</c><00:12:35.960><c> goes</c><00:12:36.080><c> on</c><00:12:36.240><c> in</c><00:12:36.340><c> verse</c><00:12:36.580><c> five,</c>

00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:38.519

00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.460
the<00:12:38.740><c> righteousness</c><00:12:39.080><c> of</c><00:12:39.340><c> God,</c><00:12:39.620><c> what</c><00:12:39.799><c> should</c><00:12:39.980><c> we</c><00:12:40.200><c> say?</c>

00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:42.240
Is<00:12:40.720><c> God</c><00:12:40.960><c> unjust</c><00:12:41.399><c> who</c><00:12:41.600><c> inflicts</c><00:12:42.019><c> wrath?</c>

00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:46.059
In<00:12:42.720><c> other</c><00:12:42.940><c> words,</c><00:12:43.559><c> is</c><00:12:44.019><c> God</c><00:12:44.399><c> wrong</c><00:12:44.820><c> to</c><00:12:45.500><c> judge</c><00:12:45.820><c> us</c>

00:12:48.379 --> 00:12:50.980
by<00:12:48.720><c> committing</c><00:12:49.039><c> sins</c><00:12:49.419><c> is</c><00:12:49.899><c> we're</c><00:12:50.120><c> just</c><00:12:50.340><c> letting</c><00:12:50.519><c> God</c>

00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:53.179
throw<00:12:51.279><c> more</c><00:12:51.580><c> grace</c><00:12:52.019><c> and</c><00:12:52.279><c> more</c><00:12:52.500><c> mercy</c><00:12:52.820><c> at</c><00:12:53.000><c> us.</c>

00:12:53.299 --> 00:12:56.139
We're<00:12:53.559><c> just</c><00:12:53.919><c> illustrating</c><00:12:54.460><c> your</c><00:12:54.779><c> gospel</c><00:12:55.200><c> of</c><00:12:55.519><c> grace,</c><00:12:55.779><c> Paul.</c>

00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:59.080
And<00:12:56.899><c> this</c><00:12:57.080><c> is</c><00:12:57.279><c> what</c><00:12:57.539><c> the</c><00:12:57.779><c> Jews</c><00:12:57.980><c> did,</c><00:12:58.399><c> the</c><00:12:58.580><c> Judaizers.</c>

00:12:59.179 --> 00:13:01.580
They<00:12:59.320><c> would</c><00:12:59.539><c> come</c><00:12:59.720><c> in</c><00:12:59.919><c> after</c><00:13:00.200><c> he</c><00:13:00.600><c> came</c><00:13:00.840><c> to</c><00:13:01.100><c> a</c><00:13:01.340><c> city</c>

00:13:01.580 --> 00:13:03.279
and<00:13:02.059><c> they</c><00:13:02.379><c> would</c><00:13:02.379><c> wait</c><00:13:02.539><c> till</c><00:13:02.700><c> Paul</c><00:13:02.960><c> leaves</c>

00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.659
and<00:13:03.460><c> then</c><00:13:03.620><c> they'd</c><00:13:03.820><c> get</c><00:13:03.899><c> up</c><00:13:04.059><c> and</c><00:13:04.240><c> say,</c><00:13:04.720><c> don't</c><00:13:05.100><c> follow</c><00:13:05.379><c> Paul.</c>

00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:06.639
Look<00:13:05.860><c> at</c><00:13:05.919><c> what</c><00:13:06.019><c> he's</c><00:13:06.259><c> telling</c><00:13:06.460><c> you.</c>

00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:08.460
You<00:13:06.740><c> can</c><00:13:06.919><c> just</c><00:13:07.039><c> go</c><00:13:07.220><c> out</c><00:13:07.419><c> and</c><00:13:07.600><c> commit</c><00:13:07.740><c> all</c><00:13:07.940><c> these</c><00:13:08.139><c> sins</c>

00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:11.299
and<00:13:08.919><c> this</c><00:13:09.139><c> will</c><00:13:09.340><c> just</c><00:13:09.580><c> make</c><00:13:09.740><c> the</c><00:13:09.960><c> gospel</c><00:13:10.259><c> of</c><00:13:10.539><c> grace.</c>

00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:11.980
Shall<00:13:11.580><c> we</c><00:13:11.820><c> sin?</c>

00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:13.580
He's<00:13:12.200><c> gonna</c><00:13:12.320><c> get</c><00:13:12.580><c> to</c><00:13:12.820><c> it</c><00:13:12.940><c> in</c><00:13:13.019><c> Romans</c><00:13:13.320><c> six.</c>

00:13:13.659 --> 00:13:15.259
Shall<00:13:13.799><c> we</c><00:13:14.039><c> sin</c><00:13:14.159><c> that</c><00:13:14.340><c> grace</c><00:13:14.600><c> may</c><00:13:14.840><c> abound?</c>

00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:16.399
By<00:13:15.879><c> no</c><00:13:16.159><c> means.</c>

00:13:16.419 --> 00:13:18.480
That's<00:13:16.720><c> not</c><00:13:16.940><c> the</c><00:13:17.080><c> right</c><00:13:17.200><c> way</c><00:13:17.360><c> to</c><00:13:17.600><c> treat</c><00:13:17.700><c> this.</c>

00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:20.139
And<00:13:18.700><c> in</c><00:13:18.799><c> verse</c><00:13:18.980><c> seven,</c><00:13:19.340><c> the</c><00:13:19.480><c> same</c><00:13:19.679><c> kind</c><00:13:19.879><c> of</c><00:13:20.019><c> thing.</c>

00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:21.679
But<00:13:20.299><c> the</c><00:13:20.500><c> truth</c><00:13:20.659><c> of</c><00:13:20.840><c> God</c><00:13:21.019><c> is</c><00:13:21.240><c> increased</c>

00:13:23.419 --> 00:13:25.000
Why<00:13:23.659><c> am</c><00:13:23.860><c> I</c><00:13:24.159><c> judged</c><00:13:24.480><c> a</c><00:13:24.840><c> sinner?</c>

00:13:25.100 --> 00:13:28.279
And<00:13:25.279><c> why</c><00:13:25.500><c> not</c><00:13:25.799><c> say,</c><00:13:26.100><c> let</c><00:13:26.360><c> us</c><00:13:26.639><c> do</c><00:13:26.820><c> evil</c><00:13:27.100><c> that</c><00:13:27.399><c> good</c><00:13:27.600><c> may</c><00:13:27.899><c> come</c>

00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:30.659
as<00:13:28.820><c> we</c><00:13:29.039><c> are</c><00:13:29.379><c> slanderously</c><00:13:30.100><c> reported</c>

00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:34.700
And<00:13:32.940><c> their</c><00:13:33.240><c> condemnation</c><00:13:33.919><c> is</c><00:13:34.279><c> just.</c>

00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:36.720
But<00:13:35.480><c> this</c><00:13:35.740><c> is</c><00:13:35.919><c> what</c><00:13:36.100><c> people</c><00:13:36.360><c> did</c>

00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:39.980
when<00:13:36.960><c> Paul</c><00:13:37.620><c> preached</c><00:13:38.139><c> his</c><00:13:38.519><c> gospel</c><00:13:39.120><c> of</c><00:13:39.580><c> God,</c>

00:13:44.740 --> 00:13:48.000
People<00:13:45.059><c> came</c><00:13:45.399><c> in</c><00:13:45.799><c> and</c><00:13:46.039><c> they</c><00:13:46.440><c> couldn't</c><00:13:46.799><c> accept</c><00:13:47.240><c> it</c><00:13:47.539><c> culturally.</c>

00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.240
They<00:13:48.580><c> thought</c><00:13:48.779><c> it</c><00:13:48.919><c> was</c><00:13:49.220><c> biblically</c><00:13:49.700><c> wrong</c>

00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.940
and<00:13:50.820><c> they</c><00:13:51.100><c> just</c><00:13:51.559><c> used</c><00:13:51.840><c> the</c><00:13:52.220><c> extreme</c><00:13:52.580><c> case</c>

00:13:52.940 --> 00:13:54.779

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:56.500
You<00:13:55.039><c> just</c><00:13:55.240><c> go</c><00:13:55.419><c> commit</c><00:13:55.600><c> all</c><00:13:55.820><c> the</c><00:13:55.960><c> sins</c><00:13:56.059><c> you</c><00:13:56.320><c> want</c>

00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:58.740
and<00:13:57.059><c> God's</c><00:13:57.379><c> grace</c><00:13:57.559><c> will</c><00:13:57.740><c> just</c><00:13:57.960><c> abound.</c>

00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.080
And<00:13:59.240><c> Paul</c><00:13:59.399><c> has</c><00:13:59.600><c> to</c><00:13:59.940><c> constantly</c><00:14:00.419><c> in</c><00:14:00.580><c> his</c><00:14:00.820><c> letters</c>

00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.059
Well,<00:14:03.360><c> even</c><00:14:03.639><c> Galatians,</c><00:14:04.139><c> no</c><00:14:04.299><c> matter</c><00:14:04.360><c> how</c><00:14:04.480><c> he</c><00:14:04.720><c> said</c><00:14:04.860><c> there,</c>

00:14:05.059 --> 00:14:08.279

00:14:08.700 --> 00:14:10.500
He's<00:14:09.299><c> constantly</c><00:14:09.759><c> reminding</c><00:14:10.200><c> us</c>

00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:11.940
that's<00:14:10.860><c> not</c><00:14:11.120><c> what</c><00:14:11.279><c> this</c><00:14:11.500><c> is</c><00:14:11.700><c> about.</c>

00:14:12.220 --> 00:14:14.639
This<00:14:12.480><c> is</c><00:14:12.840><c> supposed</c><00:14:13.039><c> to</c><00:14:13.259><c> have</c><00:14:13.539><c> more</c><00:14:14.039><c> power</c>

00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.340
This<00:14:19.879><c> is</c><00:14:20.059><c> more</c><00:14:20.340><c> powerful</c><00:14:20.820><c> than</c><00:14:21.179><c> law</c><00:14:21.519><c> could</c><00:14:21.820><c> ever</c><00:14:22.139><c> be.</c>

00:14:22.820 --> 00:14:24.820
So<00:14:23.100><c> that's</c><00:14:23.320><c> what</c><00:14:23.480><c> he's</c><00:14:23.759><c> after</c><00:14:24.000><c> here.</c>

00:14:24.860 --> 00:14:26.200
So<00:14:25.259><c> yeah,</c><00:14:25.460><c> these</c><00:14:25.679><c> poor</c><00:14:25.919><c> Jews,</c>

00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:29.320

And<00:14:57.120><c> Psalm</c><00:14:57.340><c> 51</c><00:14:58.000><c> just</c><00:14:58.519><c> illustrates</c><00:14:59.039><c> that</c>

00:15:05.779 --> 00:15:09.139
that<00:15:06.080><c> what</c><00:15:06.460><c> sacrifice</c><00:15:07.200><c> was</c><00:15:07.580><c> supposed</c><00:15:08.299><c> to</c><00:15:08.659><c> do</c>

00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.220
God<00:15:17.419><c> never</c><00:15:18.059><c> wanted</c><00:15:18.559><c> a</c><00:15:19.059><c> dead</c><00:15:19.279><c> animal.</c>

00:15:20.379 --> 00:15:22.899
He<00:15:20.659><c> wanted</c><00:15:21.159><c> people's</c><00:15:22.120><c> lives</c><00:15:22.399><c> changed.</c>

He<00:15:23.320><c> wanted</c><00:15:23.620><c> humility.</c>

00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:27.980
He<00:15:24.440><c> wanted</c><00:15:24.860><c> thankfulness</c><00:15:25.600><c> and</c><00:15:25.820><c> appreciation</c><00:15:26.559><c> for</c><00:15:27.159><c> the</c><00:15:27.500><c> grace,</c>

00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.539
for<00:15:28.340><c> the</c><00:15:28.600><c> gift</c><00:15:28.820><c> that</c><00:15:28.960><c> he</c><00:15:29.100><c> was</c><00:15:29.320><c> going</c><00:15:29.480><c> to</c><00:15:29.759><c> bestow</c><00:15:30.000><c> upon</c><00:15:30.259><c> them</c>

00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:34.379
That's<00:15:32.620><c> what</c><00:15:32.740><c> it</c><00:15:32.860><c> was</c><00:15:33.039><c> really</c><00:15:33.360><c> all</c><00:15:33.559><c> about.</c>

00:15:34.539 --> 00:15:36.519
So<00:15:34.799><c> as</c><00:15:34.940><c> he</c><00:15:35.080><c> goes</c><00:15:35.240><c> on,</c><00:15:35.519><c> then</c><00:15:35.659><c> are</c><00:15:35.980><c> we</c><00:15:36.240><c> Jews?</c>

00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:41.200
Well,<00:15:40.519><c> not</c><00:15:40.740><c> at</c><00:15:40.960><c> all.</c>

00:15:41.299 --> 00:15:44.159
Are<00:15:41.440><c> we</c><00:15:41.759><c> previously</c><00:15:42.200><c> charged</c><00:15:42.700><c> that</c><00:15:43.080><c> both</c><00:15:43.379><c> Jews</c><00:15:43.620><c> and</c><00:15:43.940><c> Greeks,</c>

00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.039
All<00:15:46.379><c> of</c><00:15:46.539><c> them</c><00:15:46.740><c> are</c><00:15:47.000><c> under</c><00:15:47.279><c> sin.</c>

00:15:48.059 --> 00:15:51.259
And<00:15:48.340><c> then</c><00:15:48.620><c> good</c><00:15:48.860><c> Paul,</c><00:15:49.480><c> what</c><00:15:49.919><c> Paul</c><00:15:50.240><c> has</c><00:15:50.500><c> to</c><00:15:50.759><c> always</c><00:15:51.019><c> do</c>

00:15:51.259 --> 00:15:53.179
is<00:15:51.480><c> he</c><00:15:51.860><c> illustrates</c><00:15:52.299><c> a</c><00:15:52.659><c> concept</c>

00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:55.259
and<00:15:53.620><c> he</c><00:15:53.820><c> watches</c><00:15:54.120><c> strategies</c><00:15:54.740><c> in</c><00:15:54.940><c> his</c><00:15:55.100><c> letters.</c>

00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:57.860
He<00:15:55.500><c> knows</c><00:15:55.860><c> the</c><00:15:56.240><c> Jews</c><00:15:56.500><c> are</c><00:15:56.860><c> sitting</c><00:15:57.039><c> there</c><00:15:57.340><c> thinking,</c>

00:15:58.259 --> 00:16:01.220
Paul,<00:15:58.980><c> where's</c><00:15:59.559><c> the</c><00:15:59.779><c> Bible</c><00:16:00.159><c> support?</c>

00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:03.139
It's<00:16:01.919><c> just</c><00:16:02.120><c> like</c><00:16:02.279><c> Christadelphians</c><00:16:02.940><c> would.</c>

00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.279
We<00:16:03.559><c> have</c><00:16:03.720><c> our</c><00:16:03.919><c> Bibles</c><00:16:04.120><c> out</c><00:16:04.440><c> and</c><00:16:04.559><c> we</c><00:16:04.740><c> all</c><00:16:04.899><c> wanna</c><00:16:05.039><c> know</c>

00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:07.139
where<00:16:05.600><c> are</c><00:16:05.840><c> the</c><00:16:05.940><c> Bible</c><00:16:06.220><c> verses?</c>

00:16:07.220 --> 00:16:09.100
And<00:16:07.519><c> so</c><00:16:07.740><c> he</c><00:16:08.019><c> starts</c><00:16:08.379><c> laying</c><00:16:08.659><c> them</c><00:16:08.879><c> out.</c>

00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:09.899
Here<00:16:09.340><c> we</c><00:16:09.539><c> go.</c>

00:16:10.179 --> 00:16:13.320
And<00:16:10.340><c> he</c><00:16:10.639><c> quotes</c><00:16:10.919><c> from</c><00:16:11.279><c> these</c><00:16:11.620><c> Psalms,</c><00:16:12.100><c> I</c><00:16:12.440><c> think,</c>

00:16:13.460 --> 00:16:16.240
because<00:16:13.980><c> the</c><00:16:14.500><c> Jews</c><00:16:14.919><c> would</c><00:16:15.200><c> have</c><00:16:15.399><c> all</c><00:16:15.720><c> realized</c>

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.039
that<00:16:16.539><c> these</c><00:16:16.799><c> were</c><00:16:17.120><c> about</c><00:16:17.580><c> Jews.</c>

00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:19.580
They<00:16:18.259><c> were</c><00:16:18.500><c> written</c><00:16:18.639><c> in</c><00:16:18.840><c> a</c><00:16:19.039><c> time</c><00:16:19.220><c> period</c>

00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:24.779
This<00:16:23.159><c> is</c><00:16:23.399><c> all</c><00:16:23.600><c> about</c><00:16:23.820><c> you</c><00:16:24.100><c> and</c><00:16:24.240><c> your</c><00:16:24.419><c> culture</c>

00:16:28.580 --> 00:16:33.340
So<00:16:28.840><c> he</c><00:16:29.200><c> quotes</c><00:16:29.679><c> in</c><00:16:30.600><c> Psalm</c><00:16:30.759><c> 14,</c><00:16:31.840><c> in</c><00:16:32.559><c> verse</c><00:16:32.820><c> 11</c><00:16:33.139><c> there,</c>

They<00:16:40.600><c> all</c><00:16:40.779><c> together</c><00:16:41.159><c> become</c><00:16:41.580><c> unprofitable.</c>

00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:46.100

00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.139

00:17:17.299 --> 00:17:18.119
Now<00:17:17.460><c> you</c><00:17:17.500><c> might</c><00:17:17.660><c> be</c><00:17:17.859><c> wondering,</c>

00:17:20.819 --> 00:17:23.359
Well,<00:17:21.119><c> you</c><00:17:21.299><c> can</c><00:17:21.539><c> cheat</c><00:17:21.740><c> and</c><00:17:21.920><c> look</c><00:17:22.039><c> at</c><00:17:22.180><c> the</c><00:17:22.380><c> color</c><00:17:22.640><c> coding.</c>

00:17:24.140 --> 00:17:25.839
What<00:17:24.480><c> did</c><00:17:24.680><c> he</c><00:17:24.940><c> do?</c>

00:17:26.700 --> 00:17:30.859
He<00:17:27.259><c> picked</c><00:17:27.660><c> all</c><00:17:28.259><c> the</c><00:17:28.559><c> body</c><00:17:28.880><c> parts</c><00:17:29.359><c> that</c><00:17:29.940><c> we</c><00:17:30.359><c> use</c>

00:17:30.859 --> 00:17:33.900
for<00:17:31.359><c> committing</c><00:17:31.700><c> our</c><00:17:32.180><c> sins</c><00:17:32.599><c> and</c><00:17:33.400><c> explained,</c>

00:17:33.980 --> 00:17:35.319
here's<00:17:34.299><c> why</c><00:17:34.500><c> we're</c><00:17:34.680><c> not</c><00:17:34.920><c> righteous.</c>

00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:38.259
We<00:17:35.859><c> got</c><00:17:36.059><c> hands</c><00:17:36.599><c> that</c><00:17:36.900><c> are</c><00:17:37.019><c> always</c><00:17:37.460><c> doing</c><00:17:37.660><c> the</c><00:17:37.799><c> wrong</c><00:17:37.960><c> thing.</c>

00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:40.339
We<00:17:38.400><c> got</c><00:17:38.619><c> feet</c><00:17:38.980><c> that</c><00:17:39.160><c> are</c><00:17:39.400><c> swift</c><00:17:39.619><c> to</c><00:17:39.859><c> run</c><00:17:39.980><c> the</c><00:17:40.160><c> evil.</c>

00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:43.299
We<00:17:40.759><c> got</c><00:17:40.940><c> eyes</c><00:17:41.299><c> that</c><00:17:41.599><c> constantly</c><00:17:42.180><c> look</c><00:17:42.440><c> at</c><00:17:42.619><c> the</c><00:17:42.799><c> wrong</c><00:17:43.000><c> stuff</c>

00:17:43.299 --> 00:17:44.380
we<00:17:43.460><c> shouldn't</c><00:17:43.660><c> be</c><00:17:43.960><c> looking</c><00:17:44.099><c> at.</c>

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:48.380
We<00:17:44.920><c> got</c><00:17:45.099><c> a</c><00:17:45.319><c> mouth</c><00:17:45.619><c> and</c><00:17:45.980><c> lips</c><00:17:46.259><c> that</c><00:17:46.599><c> say</c><00:17:46.759><c> things</c><00:17:47.039><c> we</c><00:17:47.200><c> shouldn't</c><00:17:47.519><c> say.</c>

00:17:48.619 --> 00:17:51.220
And<00:17:48.660><c> he</c><00:17:48.839><c> just,</c><00:17:49.539><c> it's</c><00:17:50.059><c> a</c><00:17:50.200><c> fascinating</c><00:17:50.579><c> thing</c><00:17:50.779><c> to</c><00:17:51.019><c> watch</c>

00:17:51.220 --> 00:17:52.819
how<00:17:51.359><c> he</c><00:17:51.579><c> puts</c><00:17:51.740><c> those</c><00:17:52.099><c> passages</c><00:17:52.440><c> together</c>

00:17:52.819 --> 00:17:54.680
and<00:17:53.059><c> builds</c><00:17:53.319><c> a</c><00:17:53.619><c> case</c><00:17:53.819><c> for</c><00:17:54.039><c> no</c><00:17:54.359><c> wonder</c>

00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:56.160
none<00:17:54.859><c> is</c><00:17:55.099><c> righteous,</c><00:17:55.599><c> no</c><00:17:55.680><c> not</c><00:17:55.940><c> one.</c>

00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:58.000
This<00:17:56.819><c> is</c><00:17:57.019><c> how</c><00:17:57.180><c> we've</c><00:17:57.460><c> been</c><00:17:57.599><c> made.</c>

00:17:58.259 --> 00:17:59.859
We've<00:17:58.559><c> been</c><00:17:58.740><c> created</c><00:17:59.119><c> in</c><00:17:59.440><c> such</c><00:17:59.599><c> a</c><00:17:59.759><c> way</c>

00:17:59.859 --> 00:18:03.299
that<00:18:00.059><c> our</c><00:18:00.380><c> bodies</c><00:18:00.740><c> are</c><00:18:01.019><c> so</c><00:18:01.420><c> prone</c><00:18:01.740><c> to</c><00:18:02.140><c> evil</c><00:18:02.500><c> and</c><00:18:02.779><c> wickedness,</c>

00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:07.160
we<00:18:03.920><c> can</c><00:18:04.400><c> never</c><00:18:04.779><c> look</c><00:18:05.220><c> good</c><00:18:05.660><c> to</c><00:18:06.000><c> God,</c>

00:18:07.579 --> 00:18:10.359
apart<00:18:08.099><c> from</c><00:18:08.619><c> God</c><00:18:09.200><c> being</c><00:18:09.660><c> in</c><00:18:10.000><c> us.</c>

00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:12.980
And<00:18:11.140><c> that's,</c><00:18:11.559><c> I</c><00:18:11.619><c> think,</c><00:18:11.839><c> what</c><00:18:12.000><c> Paul</c><00:18:12.220><c> was</c><00:18:12.400><c> really</c><00:18:12.680><c> after.</c>

00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:16.319
So<00:18:13.480><c> he</c><00:18:13.599><c> goes</c><00:18:13.880><c> after</c><00:18:14.240><c> all</c><00:18:14.539><c> those</c><00:18:14.779><c> body</c><00:18:15.119><c> parts,</c><00:18:15.599><c> every</c><00:18:15.859><c> one</c><00:18:16.039><c> of</c><00:18:16.160><c> them.</c>

00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:18.619
In<00:18:16.700><c> fact,</c><00:18:17.019><c> if</c><00:18:17.200><c> you</c><00:18:17.400><c> read</c><00:18:17.559><c> through</c><00:18:17.819><c> all</c><00:18:18.039><c> those</c><00:18:18.299><c> Psalms,</c>

00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:21.279
you<00:18:18.740><c> would</c><00:18:19.000><c> notice</c><00:18:19.319><c> each</c><00:18:19.839><c> one</c><00:18:20.059><c> of</c><00:18:20.180><c> them</c><00:18:20.400><c> and</c><00:18:20.660><c> Isaiah</c>

00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:25.079
refers<00:18:22.099><c> to</c><00:18:22.660><c> the</c><00:18:22.940><c> heart,</c><00:18:23.759><c> which</c><00:18:24.119><c> to</c><00:18:24.339><c> the</c><00:18:24.500><c> Jewish</c><00:18:24.680><c> thinking</c>

00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.599
was<00:18:25.359><c> like</c><00:18:25.599><c> what</c><00:18:25.680><c> we</c><00:18:25.900><c> would</c><00:18:26.039><c> call</c><00:18:26.259><c> today</c><00:18:26.539><c> the</c><00:18:26.740><c> mind.</c>

00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:31.180
The<00:18:28.799><c> mind</c><00:18:29.180><c> is</c><00:18:29.420><c> just</c><00:18:29.660><c> so</c><00:18:30.079><c> set</c><00:18:30.359><c> to</c><00:18:30.640><c> do</c><00:18:30.819><c> evil,</c>

00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:34.380
we<00:18:31.599><c> are</c><00:18:31.920><c> constantly</c><00:18:32.400><c> fighting</c><00:18:32.839><c> this</c><00:18:33.240><c> battle</c><00:18:33.519><c> against</c><00:18:33.880><c> our</c><00:18:34.140><c> mind.</c>

00:18:34.779 --> 00:18:36.559
So<00:18:34.960><c> when</c><00:18:35.059><c> you</c><00:18:35.160><c> get</c><00:18:35.319><c> to</c><00:18:35.500><c> chapter</c><00:18:35.759><c> seven,</c><00:18:36.440><c> then,</c>

00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:38.059
you<00:18:36.819><c> see</c><00:18:37.019><c> how</c><00:18:37.259><c> Paul</c><00:18:37.500><c> illustrates,</c>

00:18:38.259 --> 00:18:41.339
just<00:18:38.380><c> because</c><00:18:38.900><c> you're</c><00:18:39.579><c> baptized</c><00:18:40.299><c> and</c><00:18:40.500><c> you're</c><00:18:40.779><c> in</c><00:18:41.000><c> Christ</c>

00:18:41.339 --> 00:18:42.740
doesn't<00:18:41.660><c> mean</c><00:18:41.920><c> the</c><00:18:42.140><c> war</c><00:18:42.299><c> is</c><00:18:42.500><c> over.</c>

00:18:42.980 --> 00:18:44.700
You're<00:18:43.359><c> still</c><00:18:43.640><c> fighting</c><00:18:43.960><c> with</c><00:18:44.220><c> this</c><00:18:44.500><c> mind</c>

00:18:44.700 --> 00:18:47.039
that<00:18:44.900><c> wants</c><00:18:45.160><c> to</c><00:18:45.420><c> do</c><00:18:45.579><c> what</c><00:18:45.880><c> you</c><00:18:46.160><c> don't</c><00:18:46.420><c> wanna</c><00:18:46.599><c> do.</c>

00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:50.079
And<00:18:47.519><c> then</c><00:18:47.660><c> in</c><00:18:47.859><c> chapter</c><00:18:48.119><c> eight,</c><00:18:48.400><c> he</c><00:18:48.599><c> says</c><00:18:48.759><c> the</c><00:18:48.940><c> only</c><00:18:49.220><c> way</c><00:18:49.440><c> around</c><00:18:49.839><c> it</c>

00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:52.720
is<00:18:50.180><c> to</c><00:18:50.440><c> let</c><00:18:50.720><c> God</c><00:18:51.200><c> build</c><00:18:51.559><c> the</c><00:18:51.880><c> spiritual</c><00:18:52.259><c> mind,</c>

00:18:53.019 --> 00:18:56.000
the<00:18:53.380><c> spiritual</c><00:18:53.900><c> mind</c><00:18:54.140><c> becomes</c><00:18:54.460><c> so</c><00:18:55.220><c> strong</c><00:18:55.500><c> in</c><00:18:55.700><c> us</c>

00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.980
that<00:18:56.500><c> it</c><00:18:56.779><c> intercedes</c><00:18:57.420><c> against</c><00:18:57.920><c> the</c><00:18:58.200><c> mind</c><00:18:58.339><c> of</c><00:18:58.519><c> the</c><00:18:58.680><c> flesh</c>

00:18:58.980 --> 00:19:01.519
and<00:18:59.660><c> God</c><00:19:00.019><c> begins</c><00:19:00.500><c> to</c><00:19:00.799><c> win</c><00:19:00.940><c> the</c><00:19:01.099><c> victory.</c>

00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.720
And<00:19:02.220><c> that's</c><00:19:02.480><c> when</c><00:19:02.619><c> we're</c><00:19:02.839><c> really</c><00:19:03.079><c> members</c><00:19:03.359><c> of</c><00:19:03.539><c> God's</c><00:19:03.960><c> family.</c>

00:19:04.819 --> 00:19:06.920
So<00:19:05.079><c> as</c><00:19:05.279><c> he</c><00:19:05.460><c> ends</c><00:19:05.660><c> up</c><00:19:05.859><c> in</c><00:19:06.019><c> chapter</c><00:19:06.380><c> 11,</c>

00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:08.880
when<00:19:07.200><c> he</c><00:19:07.380><c> deals</c><00:19:07.660><c> with</c><00:19:07.940><c> the</c><00:19:08.099><c> Jews</c><00:19:08.319><c> in</c><00:19:08.559><c> the</c><00:19:08.680><c> end,</c>

00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:12.720
he<00:19:09.039><c> says,</c><00:19:09.400><c> look,</c><00:19:09.500><c> God</c><00:19:09.799><c> has</c><00:19:10.200><c> confined</c><00:19:10.619><c> them</c><00:19:10.980><c> all</c><00:19:11.299><c> to</c><00:19:11.599><c> disobedience</c>

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.059
because<00:19:13.220><c> the</c><00:19:13.680><c> plan</c><00:19:14.079><c> all</c><00:19:14.539><c> along</c>

00:19:15.059 --> 00:19:17.440
was<00:19:15.680><c> that</c><00:19:15.900><c> he</c><00:19:16.059><c> would</c><00:19:16.259><c> have</c><00:19:16.500><c> mercy</c><00:19:16.960><c> on</c><00:19:17.240><c> all.</c>

00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:19.579
That's<00:19:18.180><c> how</c><00:19:18.400><c> God</c><00:19:18.660><c> set</c><00:19:18.900><c> up</c><00:19:19.039><c> the</c><00:19:19.220><c> atonement.</c>

00:19:19.579 --> 00:19:22.539
He<00:19:19.940><c> wanted</c><00:19:20.279><c> everyone</c><00:19:20.859><c> who</c><00:19:21.140><c> ever</c><00:19:21.400><c> makes</c><00:19:21.660><c> it</c><00:19:21.819><c> into</c><00:19:21.960><c> his</c><00:19:22.240><c> family</c>

00:19:22.539 --> 00:19:25.359
to<00:19:22.779><c> acknowledge</c><00:19:23.359><c> that</c><00:19:23.940><c> I</c><00:19:24.079><c> could</c><00:19:24.319><c> never</c><00:19:24.519><c> have</c><00:19:24.700><c> done</c><00:19:24.819><c> it</c><00:19:24.980><c> myself.</c>

00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:27.000
There's<00:19:25.779><c> no</c><00:19:25.960><c> way</c><00:19:26.119><c> I</c><00:19:26.279><c> could</c><00:19:26.500><c> earn</c><00:19:26.720><c> this,</c>

00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:28.619
no<00:19:27.259><c> way</c><00:19:27.440><c> I</c><00:19:27.599><c> could</c><00:19:27.799><c> deserve</c><00:19:28.220><c> this.</c>

00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:32.480
It's<00:19:29.279><c> all</c><00:19:29.579><c> about</c><00:19:29.980><c> God's</c><00:19:30.660><c> grace</c><00:19:31.000><c> and</c><00:19:31.220><c> his</c><00:19:31.500><c> mercy.</c>

00:19:32.539 --> 00:19:35.440
And<00:19:32.720><c> if</c><00:19:32.880><c> that's</c><00:19:33.279><c> the</c><00:19:33.460><c> case,</c><00:19:34.559><c> that</c><00:19:34.819><c> changes,</c>

00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:37.079
if<00:19:35.960><c> we</c><00:19:36.160><c> really</c><00:19:36.440><c> believe</c><00:19:36.779><c> that,</c>

00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:39.480
it<00:19:37.380><c> changes</c><00:19:37.839><c> how</c><00:19:38.099><c> we</c><00:19:38.460><c> treat</c><00:19:38.759><c> other</c><00:19:39.039><c> people.</c>

00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:41.299
It<00:19:40.099><c> really</c><00:19:40.339><c> does.</c>

00:19:41.420 --> 00:19:43.140
It<00:19:41.720><c> changes</c><00:19:42.099><c> how</c><00:19:42.319><c> you</c><00:19:42.579><c> treat</c><00:19:42.720><c> people</c>

00:19:43.140 --> 00:19:47.319
because<00:19:43.579><c> you</c><00:19:43.859><c> start</c><00:19:44.039><c> realizing</c><00:19:44.599><c> I</c><00:19:45.380><c> needed</c><00:19:45.599><c> it</c><00:19:45.940><c> just</c><00:19:46.220><c> like</c><00:19:46.480><c> them.</c>

00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:49.599
When<00:19:48.000><c> you</c><00:19:48.160><c> go</c><00:19:48.259><c> through</c><00:19:48.500><c> Psalm</c><00:19:48.700><c> 114,</c>

00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:51.420
Psalm<00:19:50.000><c> 14,</c><00:19:50.440><c> when</c><00:19:50.539><c> you</c><00:19:50.619><c> go</c><00:19:50.759><c> back</c><00:19:50.920><c> and</c><00:19:51.039><c> look</c><00:19:51.160><c> at</c><00:19:51.279><c> this,</c>

00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.380
you<00:19:51.539><c> will</c><00:19:51.779><c> notice</c><00:19:52.039><c> in</c><00:19:52.200><c> some</c><00:19:52.380><c> of</c><00:19:52.500><c> those</c><00:19:52.700><c> Psalms</c>

00:19:53.380 --> 00:19:56.920
that<00:19:53.640><c> they</c><00:19:54.000><c> actually</c><00:19:54.440><c> refer</c><00:19:54.839><c> to</c><00:19:55.440><c> the</c><00:19:55.859><c> righteous.</c>

00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:01.000
And<00:19:57.259><c> yet</c><00:19:57.420><c> it's</c><00:19:57.779><c> like,</c><00:19:58.420><c> no,</c><00:19:58.740><c> none</c><00:19:58.759><c> is</c><00:19:59.019><c> righteous,</c><00:19:59.940><c> no,</c><00:20:00.299><c> not</c><00:20:00.619><c> one.</c>

00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:04.019
So<00:20:01.740><c> how</c><00:20:01.960><c> can</c><00:20:02.200><c> there</c><00:20:02.400><c> be</c><00:20:02.940><c> righteous?</c>

00:20:04.380 --> 00:20:05.680
And<00:20:04.599><c> as</c><00:20:04.740><c> you</c><00:20:04.920><c> read</c><00:20:05.160><c> through</c><00:20:05.380><c> that,</c>

00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:07.599
you'll<00:20:06.019><c> see</c><00:20:06.220><c> that</c><00:20:06.460><c> you</c><00:20:06.619><c> close</c><00:20:06.759><c> it</c><00:20:06.900><c> from</c><00:20:07.059><c> verse</c><00:20:07.339><c> three,</c>

00:20:07.619 --> 00:20:08.619
they've<00:20:07.859><c> all</c><00:20:08.000><c> turned</c><00:20:08.220><c> aside,</c>

00:20:09.019 --> 00:20:10.420
they<00:20:09.140><c> all</c><00:20:09.299><c> together</c><00:20:09.680><c> have</c><00:20:09.920><c> become</c><00:20:10.119><c> corrupt.</c>

00:20:10.539 --> 00:20:13.079
There<00:20:10.619><c> is</c><00:20:10.839><c> none</c><00:20:11.039><c> who</c><00:20:11.240><c> does</c><00:20:11.440><c> good,</c><00:20:11.980><c> no,</c><00:20:12.339><c> not</c><00:20:12.640><c> one.</c>

00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:15.680
But<00:20:13.759><c> then</c><00:20:13.980><c> you</c><00:20:14.200><c> find</c><00:20:14.460><c> out</c><00:20:14.660><c> in</c><00:20:14.859><c> verse</c><00:20:15.140><c> four,</c>

00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.440
there<00:20:15.920><c> are</c><00:20:16.299><c> those</c><00:20:16.599><c> who</c><00:20:16.900><c> eat</c><00:20:17.160><c> up</c><00:20:17.500><c> my</c><00:20:17.900><c> people,</c>

00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:20.200
like<00:20:18.759><c> they</c><00:20:19.019><c> eat</c><00:20:19.259><c> bread.</c>

00:20:20.299 --> 00:20:23.059
And<00:20:20.480><c> then</c><00:20:20.640><c> in</c><00:20:20.819><c> verse</c><00:20:21.059><c> five,</c><00:20:21.700><c> they</c><00:20:21.700><c> are</c><00:20:21.940><c> in</c><00:20:22.259><c> great</c><00:20:22.519><c> fear,</c>

00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:27.759
for<00:20:23.640><c> God</c><00:20:24.079><c> is</c><00:20:24.460><c> with</c><00:20:24.799><c> the</c><00:20:25.160><c> generation</c><00:20:25.839><c> of</c><00:20:26.539><c> the</c><00:20:26.799><c> righteous.</c>

00:20:28.099 --> 00:20:30.759
So<00:20:28.400><c> how</c><00:20:28.559><c> can</c><00:20:28.740><c> there</c><00:20:28.940><c> be</c><00:20:29.119><c> none</c><00:20:29.420><c> righteous,</c><00:20:30.200><c> no,</c><00:20:30.460><c> not</c><00:20:30.559><c> one,</c>

00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.960
and<00:20:31.019><c> yet</c><00:20:31.299><c> God</c><00:20:31.660><c> is</c><00:20:31.920><c> with</c><00:20:32.099><c> the</c><00:20:32.339><c> generation</c><00:20:32.740><c> of</c><00:20:32.920><c> the</c><00:20:33.059><c> righteous?</c>

00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:36.140
Well,<00:20:34.339><c> that's</c><00:20:34.680><c> because,</c><00:20:35.319><c> brethren</c><00:20:35.519><c> and</c><00:20:35.740><c> sisters,</c>

00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:39.559
of<00:20:36.819><c> ourselves,</c><00:20:37.920><c> nobody</c><00:20:38.279><c> can</c><00:20:38.779><c> be</c><00:20:39.019><c> righteous.</c>

00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:42.579
But<00:20:40.359><c> when</c><00:20:40.880><c> the</c><00:20:41.339><c> good</c><00:20:41.559><c> news</c><00:20:41.880><c> of</c><00:20:42.220><c> God,</c>

00:20:42.619 --> 00:20:45.259
the<00:20:42.859><c> gospel</c><00:20:43.259><c> of</c><00:20:43.519><c> God</c><00:20:43.720><c> is</c><00:20:43.920><c> in</c><00:20:44.099><c> your</c><00:20:44.339><c> life,</c>

00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:47.500
then<00:20:45.519><c> you</c><00:20:45.819><c> are</c><00:20:46.180><c> operating</c><00:20:46.579><c> by</c><00:20:47.099><c> faith</c>

00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:49.500
and<00:20:47.740><c> a</c><00:20:47.940><c> salvation</c><00:20:48.339><c> by</c><00:20:48.660><c> faith,</c>

00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:52.559
and<00:20:49.700><c> God</c><00:20:50.180><c> considers</c><00:20:51.000><c> us</c><00:20:51.579><c> righteous.</c>

00:20:52.660 --> 00:20:54.799
So<00:20:52.880><c> there</c><00:20:53.079><c> are</c><00:20:53.319><c> righteous</c><00:20:53.660><c> people</c><00:20:54.000><c> here.</c>

00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:56.799
We<00:20:55.319><c> come</c><00:20:55.599><c> righteous</c><00:20:56.019><c> before</c><00:20:56.359><c> God,</c>

00:21:01.259 --> 00:21:02.839

00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.140
And<00:21:03.319><c> he</c><00:21:03.559><c> counts</c><00:21:03.940><c> our</c><00:21:04.420><c> faith</c><00:21:04.740><c> as</c><00:21:05.200><c> righteousness.</c>

00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:08.319
And<00:21:06.400><c> you'll</c><00:21:06.619><c> see</c><00:21:06.779><c> that</c><00:21:07.059><c> in</c><00:21:07.240><c> those</c><00:21:07.420><c> Psalms.</c>

00:21:08.460 --> 00:21:09.859
So<00:21:08.700><c> in</c><00:21:08.880><c> Romans</c><00:21:09.119><c> three,</c><00:21:09.500><c> then</c><00:21:09.640><c> again,</c>

00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:12.660
now<00:21:11.079><c> we</c><00:21:11.319><c> learned</c><00:21:11.500><c> that</c><00:21:11.740><c> whatever</c><00:21:11.960><c> the</c><00:21:12.180><c> law</c><00:21:12.339><c> says,</c>

00:21:12.859 --> 00:21:14.200
it<00:21:12.880><c> says</c><00:21:12.980><c> to</c><00:21:13.140><c> those</c><00:21:13.299><c> who</c><00:21:13.440><c> are</c><00:21:13.599><c> under</c><00:21:13.799><c> the</c><00:21:13.960><c> law</c>

00:21:19.500 --> 00:21:22.220
See,<00:21:19.720><c> that</c><00:21:20.059><c> was</c><00:21:20.420><c> the</c><00:21:20.859><c> intent</c><00:21:21.259><c> of</c><00:21:21.680><c> the</c><00:21:21.880><c> law.</c>

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:24.779
God<00:21:22.880><c> wanted</c><00:21:23.200><c> to</c><00:21:23.539><c> bring</c><00:21:23.660><c> in</c><00:21:24.019><c> something</c>

00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:28.059

00:21:38.900 --> 00:21:40.200
Not<00:21:39.099><c> to</c><00:21:39.299><c> make</c><00:21:39.400><c> them</c><00:21:39.640><c> look</c><00:21:39.900><c> good,</c>

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:42.299
not<00:21:40.660><c> so</c><00:21:40.819><c> that</c><00:21:40.940><c> they</c><00:21:41.019><c> could</c><00:21:41.180><c> go</c><00:21:41.380><c> to</c><00:21:41.519><c> God</c><00:21:41.660><c> and</c><00:21:41.900><c> say</c><00:21:42.079><c> that,</c>

00:21:42.299 --> 00:21:44.460
oh,<00:21:42.420><c> my</c><00:21:42.619><c> good</c><00:21:42.920><c> stuff</c><00:21:43.059><c> is</c><00:21:43.279><c> better</c><00:21:43.539><c> than</c><00:21:43.700><c> my</c><00:21:43.920><c> bad</c><00:21:44.200><c> stuff.</c>

00:21:44.460 --> 00:21:45.839
It<00:21:44.599><c> was</c><00:21:44.839><c> never</c><00:21:45.099><c> about</c><00:21:45.440><c> that.</c>

00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:49.299
It<00:21:46.299><c> was</c><00:21:46.539><c> to</c><00:21:46.859><c> show</c><00:21:47.140><c> sin</c><00:21:47.480><c> to</c><00:21:47.680><c> be</c><00:21:48.059><c> exceedingly</c><00:21:48.759><c> sinful</c>

00:21:49.299 --> 00:21:52.599
so<00:21:49.859><c> that</c><00:21:50.140><c> people</c><00:21:50.440><c> would</c><00:21:50.779><c> then</c><00:21:51.279><c> start</c><00:21:51.519><c> looking</c><00:21:51.799><c> into</c>

00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:55.259

00:21:55.980 --> 00:21:59.319
So<00:21:56.140><c> in</c><00:21:56.240><c> verse</c><00:21:56.460><c> 20,</c><00:21:57.019><c> therefore,</c><00:21:57.519><c> by</c><00:21:57.539><c> deeds</c><00:21:57.880><c> of</c><00:21:58.160><c> the</c><00:21:58.380><c> law,</c>

00:22:04.059 --> 00:22:06.119
Ooh,<00:22:04.400><c> that's</c><00:22:04.759><c> a</c><00:22:04.859><c> tough</c><00:22:05.019><c> one</c><00:22:05.160><c> to</c><00:22:05.380><c> understand,</c><00:22:05.900><c> is</c><00:22:05.980><c> it?</c>

00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:09.299

00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:11.859
I<00:22:10.000><c> remembered</c><00:22:10.359><c> reading</c><00:22:10.660><c> the</c><00:22:10.880><c> law</c><00:22:11.000><c> as</c><00:22:11.220><c> a</c><00:22:11.319><c> young</c><00:22:11.440><c> person</c>

00:22:11.859 --> 00:22:14.279

00:22:16.940 --> 00:22:19.059
you<00:22:17.140><c> could</c><00:22:17.460><c> earn</c><00:22:17.839><c> salvation.</c>

00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.299
Never<00:22:19.660><c> realizing</c><00:22:20.200><c> that</c><00:22:20.619><c> God</c><00:22:20.859><c> never</c><00:22:21.240><c> intended</c><00:22:21.539><c> it</c><00:22:21.740><c> that</c><00:22:21.960><c> way,</c>

00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:26.579
Because<00:22:25.640><c> Paul</c><00:22:25.900><c> deals</c><00:22:26.180><c> with</c><00:22:26.420><c> that.</c>

00:22:28.180 --> 00:22:31.779

00:22:34.940 --> 00:22:37.099
See,<00:22:35.180><c> what</c><00:22:35.460><c> God</c><00:22:35.779><c> intended</c><00:22:36.259><c> all</c><00:22:36.640><c> along</c>

00:22:44.420 --> 00:22:45.920
That's<00:22:44.700><c> what</c><00:22:44.819><c> we</c><00:22:44.960><c> were</c><00:22:45.119><c> supposed</c><00:22:45.480><c> to</c><00:22:45.759><c> get</c>

he<00:23:08.140><c> didn't</c><00:23:08.400><c> revile</c><00:23:08.740><c> in</c><00:23:08.940><c> return.</c>

00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:12.660
When<00:23:10.380><c> he</c><00:23:10.680><c> suffered,</c><00:23:11.180><c> he</c><00:23:11.480><c> didn't</c><00:23:11.759><c> threaten.</c>

00:23:12.940 --> 00:23:14.539
Oh<00:23:13.319><c> no,</c><00:23:13.640><c> none</c><00:23:13.799><c> of</c><00:23:13.940><c> those</c><00:23:14.099><c> things</c>

00:23:14.539 --> 00:23:19.240
because<00:23:15.279><c> he</c><00:23:15.700><c> trusted</c><00:23:16.140><c> to</c><00:23:16.579><c> him</c><00:23:16.920><c> who</c><00:23:17.319><c> judges</c><00:23:17.940><c> righteously.</c>

00:23:19.299 --> 00:23:20.400
That's<00:23:19.579><c> 1</c><00:23:19.759><c> Peter</c><00:23:19.980><c> 2.</c>

00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:22.680
That's<00:23:21.480><c> Peter's</c><00:23:22.200><c> commentary</c>

00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:24.759
on<00:23:22.980><c> the</c><00:23:23.180><c> crucifixion</c><00:23:23.839><c> of</c><00:23:24.000><c> Jesus</c><00:23:24.319><c> Christ.</c>

00:23:25.180 --> 00:23:27.160
It<00:23:25.319><c> was</c><00:23:25.559><c> never</c><00:23:25.799><c> about</c><00:23:26.039><c> the</c><00:23:26.240><c> violence</c><00:23:26.599><c> done</c><00:23:26.759><c> to</c><00:23:26.940><c> him.</c>

00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:29.819
It<00:23:27.480><c> was</c><00:23:27.640><c> never</c><00:23:27.880><c> about</c><00:23:28.259><c> all</c><00:23:28.559><c> that</c><00:23:28.720><c> suffering</c><00:23:29.079><c> that</c><00:23:29.259><c> he</c><00:23:29.440><c> went</c><00:23:29.619><c> through.</c>

00:23:29.819 --> 00:23:32.720
It<00:23:30.119><c> was</c><00:23:30.359><c> about</c><00:23:30.579><c> the</c><00:23:30.940><c> war</c><00:23:31.220><c> going</c><00:23:31.519><c> on</c><00:23:31.859><c> in</c><00:23:32.039><c> his</c><00:23:32.359><c> head</c>

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:35.900
where<00:23:33.460><c> he</c><00:23:33.920><c> was</c><00:23:34.299><c> defeating</c><00:23:34.819><c> sin.</c>

00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:38.640
See,<00:23:36.400><c> we</c><00:23:36.700><c> read</c><00:23:36.980><c> the</c><00:23:37.240><c> crucifixion</c><00:23:37.779><c> wrong</c><00:23:38.079><c> sometimes,</c>

00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.259
but<00:23:38.819><c> it</c><00:23:38.920><c> was</c><00:23:39.140><c> all</c><00:23:39.440><c> about</c><00:23:39.720><c> the</c><00:23:40.039><c> war</c><00:23:40.319><c> against</c><00:23:40.799><c> sin.</c>

00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:43.980
That<00:23:41.839><c> God</c><00:23:42.099><c> and</c><00:23:42.279><c> Christ,</c><00:23:42.880><c> as</c><00:23:42.980><c> in</c><00:23:43.200><c> Abraham</c><00:23:43.519><c> and</c><00:23:43.720><c> Isaac,</c>

00:23:44.339 --> 00:23:46.700
they<00:23:44.599><c> both</c><00:23:45.059><c> went</c><00:23:45.279><c> up</c><00:23:45.759><c> together.</c>

00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:50.619
So<00:23:47.099><c> by</c><00:23:47.380><c> deeds</c><00:23:47.619><c> of</c><00:23:47.839><c> the</c><00:23:47.980><c> law,</c><00:23:48.440><c> no</c><00:23:48.640><c> flesh</c><00:23:48.960><c> would</c><00:23:49.180><c> ever</c><00:23:49.400><c> be</c><00:23:49.619><c> justified.</c>

00:23:50.700 --> 00:23:52.079
So<00:23:51.180><c> the</c><00:23:51.359><c> goal</c><00:23:51.559><c> of</c><00:23:51.759><c> the</c><00:23:51.920><c> law,</c>

00:23:52.099 --> 00:23:54.079
when<00:23:52.220><c> you</c><00:23:52.440><c> start</c><00:23:52.579><c> looking</c><00:23:52.880><c> at</c><00:23:53.079><c> the</c><00:23:53.279><c> purpose</c><00:23:53.539><c> of</c><00:23:53.740><c> the</c><00:23:53.880><c> law,</c>

00:23:54.119 --> 00:23:56.460
it<00:23:54.259><c> was</c><00:23:54.440><c> so</c><00:23:54.619><c> that</c><00:23:55.140><c> every</c><00:23:55.480><c> mouth</c><00:23:55.720><c> would</c><00:23:55.940><c> be</c><00:23:56.200><c> stopped,</c>

all<00:23:57.079><c> the</c><00:23:57.299><c> world</c><00:23:57.420><c> would</c><00:23:57.619><c> be</c><00:23:57.799><c> guilty</c><00:23:58.019><c> before</c><00:23:58.319><c> God,</c>

00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:01.519

00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:03.099
by<00:24:01.859><c> deeds</c><00:24:02.039><c> of</c><00:24:02.220><c> the</c><00:24:02.359><c> law.</c>

00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:05.420
In<00:24:03.319><c> Galatians</c><00:24:03.700><c> 3,</c><00:24:04.019><c> when</c><00:24:04.160><c> Paul's</c><00:24:04.539><c> covering</c><00:24:04.740><c> the</c><00:24:05.019><c> same</c><00:24:05.220><c> thing,</c>

00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:08.160
he<00:24:05.619><c> says</c><00:24:05.779><c> it</c><00:24:05.900><c> was</c><00:24:06.319><c> added</c><00:24:06.599><c> because</c><00:24:06.940><c> of</c><00:24:07.259><c> transgressions</c>

00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:12.319

00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:13.759
Or<00:24:12.539><c> at</c><00:24:12.680><c> the</c><00:24:12.740><c> end</c><00:24:12.880><c> of</c><00:24:13.059><c> Romans</c><00:24:13.319><c> 3,</c>

this<00:24:14.019><c> final</c><00:24:14.359><c> conclusion</c><00:24:14.880><c> at</c><00:24:15.079><c> the</c><00:24:15.099><c> end</c><00:24:15.259><c> of</c><00:24:15.359><c> this</c><00:24:15.539><c> chapter</c><00:24:15.819><c> today</c><00:24:16.099><c> is,</c>

00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:19.740
we<00:24:16.880><c> conclude</c><00:24:17.400><c> that</c><00:24:17.660><c> a</c><00:24:17.799><c> man</c><00:24:17.960><c> is</c><00:24:18.359><c> justified</c><00:24:18.839><c> by</c><00:24:19.339><c> faith</c>

00:24:19.740 --> 00:24:22.079
apart<00:24:20.359><c> from</c><00:24:20.779><c> the</c><00:24:21.039><c> deeds</c><00:24:21.319><c> of</c><00:24:21.680><c> the</c><00:24:21.839><c> law.</c>

00:24:22.099 --> 00:24:23.759
That's<00:24:22.480><c> the</c><00:24:22.700><c> bottom</c><00:24:23.000><c> line</c><00:24:23.259><c> conclusion.</c>

00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:25.559
So<00:24:24.400><c> when</c><00:24:24.519><c> you</c><00:24:24.640><c> go</c><00:24:24.819><c> back</c><00:24:25.019><c> and</c><00:24:25.200><c> look</c><00:24:25.380><c> at,</c>

00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:27.539
well,<00:24:25.799><c> what</c><00:24:26.000><c> was</c><00:24:26.200><c> the</c><00:24:26.400><c> law</c><00:24:26.579><c> for?</c>

00:24:27.660 --> 00:24:30.940
The<00:24:27.960><c> law</c><00:24:28.259><c> was</c><00:24:28.539><c> given</c><00:24:29.079><c> after</c><00:24:29.839><c> the</c><00:24:30.140><c> Abrahamic</c><00:24:30.559><c> covenant,</c>

00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:33.339
which<00:24:31.299><c> was</c><00:24:31.480><c> given</c><00:24:31.700><c> after</c><00:24:32.299><c> the</c><00:24:32.579><c> Edenic</c><00:24:32.880><c> covenant,</c>

00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:36.059
and<00:24:34.039><c> the</c><00:24:34.220><c> law</c><00:24:34.480><c> only</c><00:24:34.880><c> operated</c><00:24:35.519><c> for</c><00:24:35.839><c> what?</c>

00:24:36.099 --> 00:24:38.119
From<00:24:36.279><c> about</c><00:24:36.599><c> 1500</c><00:24:37.039><c> BC</c><00:24:37.579><c> to</c><00:24:37.799><c> zero,</c>

00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:40.740
so<00:24:38.319><c> it</c><00:24:38.359><c> only</c><00:24:38.599><c> was</c><00:24:38.759><c> in</c><00:24:38.920><c> operation</c><00:24:39.299><c> for</c><00:24:39.500><c> about</c><00:24:39.799><c> 1500</c><00:24:40.160><c> years,</c>

00:24:41.019 --> 00:24:44.259
and<00:24:41.200><c> it</c><00:24:41.279><c> was</c><00:24:41.579><c> designed</c><00:24:42.039><c> to</c><00:24:42.500><c> control</c><00:24:42.920><c> a</c><00:24:43.240><c> nation</c><00:24:43.599><c> of</c><00:24:43.920><c> people.</c>

00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:46.319
That's<00:24:45.019><c> what</c><00:24:45.160><c> it</c><00:24:45.319><c> was</c><00:24:45.599><c> designed</c><00:24:45.920><c> for,</c>

00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:48.819
and<00:24:46.680><c> convinced</c><00:24:47.200><c> them</c><00:24:47.619><c> to</c><00:24:48.180><c> look</c><00:24:48.500><c> forward</c>

00:24:48.819 --> 00:24:50.619
to<00:24:49.180><c> the</c><00:24:49.400><c> Messiah</c><00:24:49.819><c> who</c><00:24:50.099><c> would</c><00:24:50.319><c> come.</c>

00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:54.119
As<00:24:51.259><c> Paul</c><00:24:51.440><c> says,</c><00:24:51.799><c> it</c><00:24:51.859><c> was</c><00:24:52.079><c> only</c><00:24:52.299><c> a</c><00:24:52.599><c> temporary</c><00:24:53.059><c> tutor</c><00:24:53.420><c> or</c><00:24:53.700><c> guardian</c>

00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:57.140
until<00:24:54.519><c> the</c><00:24:54.759><c> reality</c><00:24:55.319><c> of</c><00:24:55.579><c> Jesus</c><00:24:55.940><c> Christ</c><00:24:56.200><c> had</c><00:24:56.440><c> come.</c>

00:24:57.160 --> 00:24:59.839
That's<00:24:57.539><c> why</c><00:24:57.720><c> we</c><00:24:57.980><c> don't</c><00:24:58.259><c> wanna</c><00:24:58.559><c> build</c><00:24:58.940><c> all</c><00:24:59.200><c> our</c><00:24:59.480><c> stuff</c><00:24:59.619><c> from</c>

00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:00.420
the<00:25:00.099><c> law.</c>

00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:02.920
We<00:25:01.059><c> wanna</c><00:25:01.319><c> look</c><00:25:01.519><c> at</c><00:25:01.700><c> the</c><00:25:01.980><c> reality</c><00:25:02.440><c> today.</c>

00:25:03.380 --> 00:25:06.720
That's<00:25:03.680><c> what</c><00:25:03.799><c> we</c><00:25:04.079><c> need</c><00:25:04.259><c> to</c><00:25:04.480><c> do</c><00:25:04.660><c> and</c><00:25:04.859><c> find</c><00:25:05.119><c> out</c><00:25:05.400><c> what</c><00:25:05.799><c> really</c><00:25:06.319><c> happened</c>

00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:11.039
when<00:25:07.140><c> God</c><00:25:07.539><c> used</c><00:25:07.980><c> his</c><00:25:08.299><c> son</c><00:25:08.619><c> to</c><00:25:09.200><c> redeem</c><00:25:09.720><c> our</c><00:25:10.200><c> race.</c>

00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:13.359

00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:18.240
he<00:25:16.019><c> then</c><00:25:16.279><c> says,</c><00:25:16.819><c> what</c><00:25:16.900><c> then</c><00:25:17.140><c> was</c><00:25:17.319><c> the</c><00:25:17.500><c> purpose</c><00:25:17.759><c> of</c><00:25:17.980><c> the</c><00:25:18.079><c> law?</c>

00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:20.200
Well,<00:25:18.460><c> it</c><00:25:18.539><c> was</c><00:25:18.740><c> added</c><00:25:18.980><c> because</c><00:25:19.299><c> of</c><00:25:19.660><c> transgressions</c>

00:25:26.700 --> 00:25:28.259

00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.960
But<00:25:31.519><c> Paul</c><00:25:31.940><c> points</c><00:25:32.359><c> out</c><00:25:32.720><c> there</c><00:25:32.880><c> in</c><00:25:33.039><c> Galatians</c><00:25:33.420><c> 3,</c>

00:25:37.019 --> 00:25:39.319
He<00:25:37.440><c> wanted</c><00:25:37.839><c> to</c><00:25:38.339><c> create</c><00:25:38.779><c> one.</c>

00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:05.039
And<00:26:03.920><c> what</c><00:26:04.039><c> did</c><00:26:04.180><c> the</c><00:26:04.339><c> children</c><00:26:04.559><c> of</c><00:26:04.660><c> Israel</c><00:26:04.920><c> do?</c>

00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:06.880
They<00:26:05.240><c> just</c><00:26:05.559><c> backed</c><00:26:05.740><c> away</c><00:26:06.039><c> and</c><00:26:06.259><c> backed</c><00:26:06.440><c> away,</c>

00:26:07.019 --> 00:26:09.099
and<00:26:07.220><c> they</c><00:26:07.440><c> said,</c><00:26:07.799><c> do</c><00:26:07.900><c> we</c><00:26:07.960><c> not</c><00:26:08.079><c> wanna</c><00:26:08.220><c> hear</c><00:26:08.440><c> God</c><00:26:08.660><c> anymore?</c>

00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:10.700
Moses,<00:26:09.680><c> you</c><00:26:09.920><c> talk</c><00:26:10.140><c> to</c><00:26:10.359><c> us.</c>

00:26:11.059 --> 00:26:13.299
And<00:26:11.240><c> that's</c><00:26:11.380><c> what</c><00:26:11.559><c> the</c><00:26:11.700><c> law</c><00:26:11.839><c> did,</c><00:26:12.079><c> it</c><00:26:12.259><c> pushed</c><00:26:12.480><c> people</c><00:26:12.839><c> away</c>

00:26:13.299 --> 00:26:14.900
because<00:26:13.880><c> they</c><00:26:14.099><c> were</c><00:26:14.319><c> afraid.</c>

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:17.859
They<00:26:15.539><c> never</c><00:26:15.940><c> developed</c><00:26:16.519><c> love</c><00:26:17.099><c> to</c><00:26:17.319><c> their</c><00:26:17.539><c> father.</c>

00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.839
It<00:26:18.599><c> didn't</c><00:26:19.099><c> generate</c><00:26:19.799><c> love</c><00:26:20.119><c> in</c><00:26:20.259><c> people</c><00:26:20.579><c> when</c><00:26:20.740><c> it</c><00:26:20.880><c> was</c><00:26:21.200><c> misused,</c>

00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:23.000
and<00:26:22.039><c> used</c><00:26:22.359><c> the</c><00:26:22.559><c> wrong</c><00:26:22.759><c> way.</c>

00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:26.559
David<00:26:23.559><c> got</c><00:26:23.819><c> it</c><00:26:24.079><c> right,</c><00:26:24.619><c> but</c><00:26:24.859><c> so</c><00:26:25.119><c> many</c><00:26:25.259><c> other</c><00:26:25.579><c> people</c><00:26:25.900><c> missed</c><00:26:26.240><c> it.</c>

00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:30.079
So<00:26:27.259><c> the</c><00:26:27.460><c> way</c><00:26:27.799><c> the</c><00:26:28.059><c> law</c><00:26:28.200><c> worked,</c><00:26:28.539><c> Paul</c><00:26:28.759><c> deals</c><00:26:29.039><c> with</c><00:26:29.259><c> in</c><00:26:29.420><c> Galatians</c><00:26:29.819><c> 3,</c>

00:26:30.099 --> 00:26:31.640

00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:41.059
But<00:26:39.099><c> as</c><00:26:39.339><c> he's</c><00:26:39.619><c> going</c><00:26:39.819><c> through</c><00:26:40.059><c> Galatians</c><00:26:40.619><c> 3,</c>

00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:43.579

He<00:31:04.359><c> is</c><00:31:04.640><c> the</c><00:31:04.880><c> one</c><00:31:05.039><c> who</c><00:31:05.359><c> illustrates</c><00:31:05.920><c> the</c><00:31:06.400><c> plan</c>

00:31:06.619 --> 00:31:10.579
that<00:31:06.859><c> God</c><00:31:07.059><c> always</c><00:31:07.539><c> had</c><00:31:07.799><c> all</c><00:31:08.200><c> along</c><00:31:08.539><c> to</c><00:31:09.119><c> save</c><00:31:09.400><c> people</c><00:31:09.880><c> by</c><00:31:10.259><c> faith.</c>

00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:12.839
In<00:31:11.140><c> fact,</c><00:31:11.339><c> even</c><00:31:11.579><c> if</c><00:31:11.720><c> you</c><00:31:11.980><c> thought</c><00:31:12.160><c> at</c><00:31:12.420><c> the</c><00:31:12.559><c> end</c>

00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:15.000
that<00:31:13.099><c> he</c><00:31:13.259><c> really</c><00:31:13.519><c> had</c><00:31:13.700><c> done</c><00:31:13.859><c> it</c><00:31:14.079><c> and</c><00:31:14.200><c> kept</c><00:31:14.440><c> the</c><00:31:14.619><c> law,</c>

00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:17.019
God<00:31:15.460><c> made</c><00:31:15.700><c> it</c><00:31:15.920><c> so</c><00:31:16.000><c> that</c><00:31:16.160><c> in</c><00:31:16.339><c> his</c><00:31:16.619><c> death,</c>

00:31:17.420 --> 00:31:21.299
the<00:31:17.640><c> law</c><00:31:17.900><c> would</c><00:31:18.299><c> curse</c><00:31:18.579><c> him</c><00:31:19.039><c> and</c><00:31:19.559><c> not</c><00:31:19.779><c> even</c><00:31:20.079><c> grant</c><00:31:20.279><c> him</c><00:31:20.480><c> life.</c>

00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:22.960
Then<00:31:21.740><c> that's</c><00:31:22.019><c> how</c><00:31:22.200><c> God</c><00:31:22.420><c> designed</c><00:31:22.779><c> it.</c>

00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.359
He<00:31:23.119><c> wanted</c><00:31:23.420><c> to</c><00:31:23.619><c> make</c><00:31:23.720><c> it</c><00:31:24.099><c> clear</c><00:31:24.400><c> the</c><00:31:24.799><c> law</c><00:31:25.000><c> was</c><00:31:25.380><c> never</c><00:31:25.839><c> designed</c>

00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:27.519
to<00:31:26.619><c> give</c><00:31:26.839><c> eternal</c><00:31:27.240><c> life.</c>

00:31:27.579 --> 00:31:29.339
That<00:31:27.720><c> was</c><00:31:27.960><c> never</c><00:31:28.220><c> the</c><00:31:28.400><c> purpose.</c>

00:31:29.539 --> 00:31:31.380
But<00:31:29.660><c> Paul</c><00:31:29.880><c> says,</c><00:31:30.380><c> before</c><00:31:30.400><c> the</c><00:31:30.640><c> coming</c><00:31:30.799><c> of</c><00:31:30.980><c> this</c><00:31:31.220><c> faith,</c>

00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:33.000
we<00:31:31.539><c> were</c><00:31:31.700><c> held</c><00:31:31.819><c> in</c><00:31:32.039><c> custody</c><00:31:32.339><c> under</c><00:31:32.559><c> the</c><00:31:32.779><c> law,</c>

00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:36.339
locked<00:31:33.359><c> up</c><00:31:33.700><c> until</c><00:31:34.000><c> the</c><00:31:34.319><c> faith</c><00:31:34.700><c> that</c><00:31:34.960><c> was</c><00:31:35.160><c> to</c><00:31:35.380><c> come</c><00:31:35.500><c> would</c><00:31:35.680><c> be</c><00:31:35.900><c> revealed.</c>

00:31:36.779 --> 00:31:38.779
So<00:31:37.059><c> the</c><00:31:37.240><c> law</c><00:31:37.460><c> was</c><00:31:37.740><c> put</c><00:31:37.920><c> in</c><00:31:38.220><c> charge</c><00:31:38.440><c> of</c><00:31:38.640><c> us.</c>

00:31:38.819 --> 00:31:41.400
It<00:31:38.880><c> was</c><00:31:39.019><c> like</c><00:31:39.259><c> a</c><00:31:39.500><c> tutor</c><00:31:39.779><c> until</c><00:31:40.599><c> Christ</c><00:31:41.019><c> came</c>

00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:43.720
that<00:31:41.559><c> we</c><00:31:41.779><c> might</c><00:31:41.980><c> be</c><00:31:42.319><c> justified</c><00:31:42.940><c> by</c><00:31:43.400><c> faith.</c>

00:31:44.140 --> 00:31:45.559
And<00:31:44.319><c> now</c><00:31:44.519><c> that</c><00:31:44.740><c> this</c><00:31:44.980><c> faith</c><00:31:45.119><c> has</c><00:31:45.400><c> come,</c>

00:31:45.619 --> 00:31:48.059
we<00:31:45.740><c> are</c><00:31:45.980><c> no</c><00:31:46.200><c> longer</c><00:31:46.420><c> under</c><00:31:46.680><c> the</c><00:31:46.960><c> supervision</c><00:31:47.380><c> of</c><00:31:47.660><c> the</c><00:31:47.819><c> law.</c>

00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:50.279
That<00:31:48.839><c> was</c><00:31:49.140><c> what</c><00:31:49.279><c> the</c><00:31:49.519><c> law</c><00:31:49.720><c> was</c><00:31:50.019><c> for.</c>

00:31:50.460 --> 00:31:52.000
So,<00:31:50.779><c> you</c><00:31:50.859><c> know,</c><00:31:50.940><c> that's</c><00:31:51.220><c> a</c><00:31:51.220><c> little</c><00:31:51.480><c> sidetrack,</c>

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:53.740
but<00:31:52.319><c> it's</c><00:31:52.599><c> one</c><00:31:52.759><c> of</c><00:31:52.839><c> those</c><00:31:53.079><c> critical</c><00:31:53.460><c> things.</c>

00:31:53.779 --> 00:31:55.619
We've<00:31:54.119><c> got</c><00:31:54.200><c> to</c><00:31:54.319><c> get</c><00:31:54.420><c> that</c><00:31:54.740><c> right</c><00:31:54.980><c> about</c><00:31:55.240><c> the</c><00:31:55.460><c> law.</c>

00:31:55.700 --> 00:31:57.839
It<00:31:55.779><c> was</c><00:31:56.079><c> never</c><00:31:56.359><c> supposed</c><00:31:56.859><c> to</c><00:31:57.039><c> make</c><00:31:57.119><c> us</c><00:31:57.400><c> look</c><00:31:57.619><c> good,</c>

00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:00.619
never<00:31:58.519><c> supposed</c><00:31:58.940><c> to</c><00:31:59.160><c> even</c><00:31:59.420><c> offer</c><00:31:59.680><c> us</c><00:31:59.960><c> eternal</c><00:32:00.259><c> life.</c>

00:32:00.619 --> 00:32:03.980
It<00:32:01.000><c> was</c><00:32:01.359><c> designed</c><00:32:01.960><c> to</c><00:32:02.380><c> illustrate</c><00:32:02.859><c> how</c><00:32:03.099><c> we</c><00:32:03.279><c> would</c><00:32:03.640><c> fail,</c>

00:32:04.019 --> 00:32:06.339
we<00:32:04.180><c> would</c><00:32:04.619><c> fail</c><00:32:05.000><c> like</c><00:32:05.579><c> David</c><00:32:05.960><c> did,</c>

00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:10.240
and<00:32:06.579><c> you'd</c><00:32:06.940><c> realize</c><00:32:07.420><c> my</c><00:32:07.839><c> only</c><00:32:08.220><c> hope</c><00:32:08.579><c> is</c><00:32:09.299><c> the</c><00:32:09.519><c> grace</c><00:32:09.720><c> of</c><00:32:09.920><c> God,</c>

00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:14.640
the<00:32:10.660><c> mercy</c><00:32:10.960><c> of</c><00:32:11.180><c> God</c><00:32:11.559><c> apart</c><00:32:12.299><c> from</c><00:32:12.680><c> any</c><00:32:13.099><c> sacrifice</c><00:32:13.640><c> in</c><00:32:13.880><c> law.</c>

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:16.779
That's<00:32:15.420><c> what</c><00:32:15.660><c> it</c><00:32:15.880><c> was</c><00:32:16.099><c> supposed</c><00:32:16.359><c> to</c><00:32:16.559><c> do.</c>

00:32:17.220 --> 00:32:18.980
So<00:32:17.440><c> in</c><00:32:17.539><c> verse</c><00:32:17.740><c> 21</c><00:32:18.220><c> of</c><00:32:18.420><c> Romans</c><00:32:18.640><c> three,</c>

00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:20.099
he<00:32:19.259><c> now</c><00:32:19.400><c> goes</c><00:32:19.539><c> on</c><00:32:19.759><c> and</c><00:32:19.940><c> says,</c>

00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:22.799
but<00:32:20.519><c> now</c><00:32:21.279><c> the</c><00:32:21.880><c> righteousness</c><00:32:22.240><c> of</c><00:32:22.460><c> God</c>

00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:24.519
apart<00:32:23.299><c> from</c><00:32:23.559><c> the</c><00:32:23.740><c> law</c><00:32:23.859><c> is</c><00:32:24.079><c> revealed,</c>

00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:27.240
being<00:32:25.220><c> witnessed</c><00:32:25.680><c> by</c><00:32:25.960><c> the</c><00:32:26.119><c> law</c><00:32:26.400><c> and</c><00:32:26.700><c> the</c><00:32:26.960><c> prophets.</c>

00:32:27.339 --> 00:32:28.779
So<00:32:27.460><c> they</c><00:32:27.640><c> talked</c><00:32:27.920><c> about</c><00:32:28.200><c> it</c><00:32:28.400><c> all</c><00:32:28.519><c> right.</c>

00:32:28.779 --> 00:32:30.420
Even<00:32:29.299><c> the</c><00:32:29.519><c> righteousness</c><00:32:29.900><c> of</c><00:32:30.140><c> God</c>

00:32:30.420 --> 00:32:32.539

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:47.180
being<00:32:45.019><c> justified</c><00:32:45.700><c> freely</c><00:32:46.119><c> by</c><00:32:46.400><c> his</c><00:32:46.640><c> grace</c>

through<00:32:47.539><c> the</c><00:32:47.819><c> redemption</c><00:32:48.359><c> that</c><00:32:48.700><c> is</c><00:32:49.000><c> in</c><00:32:49.480><c> Christ</c><00:32:49.799><c> Jesus.</c>

00:32:50.940 --> 00:32:52.619
So<00:32:51.160><c> now</c><00:32:51.420><c> Paul's</c><00:32:51.880><c> gotten</c><00:32:52.059><c> to</c><00:32:52.299><c> this</c><00:32:52.519><c> point</c>

where<00:32:52.759><c> he's</c><00:32:52.839><c> gonna</c><00:32:53.099><c> lay</c><00:32:53.480><c> out,</c>

God<00:32:57.019><c> intervened</c><00:32:58.180><c> and</c><00:32:58.420><c> he</c><00:32:58.920><c> provided</c><00:32:59.420><c> a</c><00:32:59.960><c> mechanism</c>

00:33:00.460 --> 00:33:02.400
that<00:33:00.940><c> made</c><00:33:01.099><c> it</c><00:33:01.420><c> clear</c><00:33:01.619><c> to</c><00:33:01.980><c> everyone</c>

and<00:35:07.199><c> take</c><00:35:07.480><c> you</c><00:35:07.780><c> there</c><00:35:08.099><c> by</c><00:35:08.300><c> the</c><00:35:08.460><c> mercy</c><00:35:08.719><c> of</c><00:35:08.920><c> God</c><00:35:09.239><c> to</c><00:35:09.599><c> the</c><00:35:09.780><c> mercy</c><00:35:10.079><c> seat.</c>

00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:13.440
If<00:35:10.800><c> you</c><00:35:11.159><c> saw</c><00:35:11.440><c> that</c><00:35:11.639><c> was</c><00:35:12.079><c> faith</c><00:35:12.420><c> in</c><00:35:12.659><c> Jesus</c><00:35:13.039><c> Christ</c>

00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:16.880
and<00:35:13.599><c> a</c><00:35:13.800><c> salvation</c><00:35:14.199><c> of</c><00:35:14.420><c> God,</c><00:35:15.059><c> then</c><00:35:15.559><c> the</c><00:35:16.059><c> law</c><00:35:16.199><c> was</c><00:35:16.400><c> your</c><00:35:16.619><c> tutor</c>

00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:19.000
and<00:35:17.380><c> it</c><00:35:17.639><c> took</c><00:35:17.800><c> you</c><00:35:18.019><c> to</c><00:35:18.199><c> Jesus</c><00:35:18.539><c> Christ.</c>

00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:20.960
That's<00:35:19.780><c> what</c><00:35:19.900><c> it</c><00:35:20.039><c> was</c><00:35:20.260><c> designed</c><00:35:20.539><c> to</c><00:35:20.760><c> do.</c>

00:35:21.219 --> 00:35:22.900
But<00:35:21.360><c> there's</c><00:35:21.639><c> so</c><00:35:21.920><c> many</c><00:35:22.119><c> things</c><00:35:22.400><c> like</c><00:35:22.719><c> this.</c>

00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:24.380
Look<00:35:23.079><c> how</c><00:35:23.239><c> God</c><00:35:23.500><c> hid</c><00:35:23.699><c> the</c><00:35:23.920><c> mercy</c><00:35:24.219><c> seat.</c>

00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:26.280
He<00:35:24.619><c> put</c><00:35:24.739><c> it</c><00:35:24.940><c> in</c><00:35:25.239><c> the</c><00:35:25.360><c> most</c><00:35:25.639><c> holy</c><00:35:25.860><c> place</c>

00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:28.079
and<00:35:26.659><c> you</c><00:35:26.880><c> couldn't</c><00:35:27.099><c> even</c><00:35:27.380><c> look</c><00:35:27.599><c> at</c><00:35:27.780><c> it.</c>

00:35:28.260 --> 00:35:29.940
Hardly<00:35:28.579><c> anybody</c><00:35:28.940><c> could</c><00:35:29.179><c> even</c><00:35:29.480><c> go</c><00:35:29.699><c> there.</c>

00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:32.159
Maybe<00:35:30.420><c> the</c><00:35:30.739><c> priests</c><00:35:30.900><c> when</c><00:35:31.019><c> they</c><00:35:31.199><c> took</c><00:35:31.320><c> down</c><00:35:31.559><c> the</c><00:35:31.739><c> tabernacle,</c>

00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:33.440
some<00:35:32.400><c> of</c><00:35:32.460><c> them</c><00:35:32.579><c> could</c><00:35:32.880><c> carry</c><00:35:33.059><c> it</c><00:35:33.260><c> out.</c>

00:35:33.699 --> 00:35:35.260
First<00:35:33.820><c> they</c><00:35:33.940><c> had</c><00:35:34.059><c> to</c><00:35:34.199><c> cover</c><00:35:34.400><c> it</c><00:35:34.539><c> though</c><00:35:34.639><c> so</c><00:35:34.760><c> you</c><00:35:34.840><c> didn't</c><00:35:35.019><c> even</c>

00:35:35.260 --> 00:35:35.860
see<00:35:35.440><c> it</c>

00:35:35.860 --> 00:35:38.840
because<00:35:36.219><c> he's</c><00:35:36.659><c> trying</c><00:35:37.019><c> to</c><00:35:37.539><c> develop</c><00:35:37.960><c> faith</c><00:35:38.360><c> in</c><00:35:38.599><c> people</c>

00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:42.860
about<00:35:39.079><c> something</c><00:35:39.380><c> he</c><00:35:39.760><c> would</c><00:35:40.039><c> provide</c><00:35:40.599><c> that</c><00:35:41.179><c> you</c><00:35:41.559><c> can't</c><00:35:42.039><c> see.</c>

00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:45.880
And<00:35:43.420><c> it</c><00:35:43.579><c> took</c><00:35:43.820><c> 4</c><00:35:44.139><c>,000</c><00:35:44.500><c> years</c><00:35:44.860><c> before</c><00:35:45.199><c> it</c><00:35:45.320><c> was</c><00:35:45.559><c> finally</c>

00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:47.800
publicly<00:35:46.579><c> displayed</c><00:35:47.139><c> to</c><00:35:47.460><c> everybody.</c>

00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:51.300
The<00:35:48.360><c> operation</c><00:35:48.940><c> of</c><00:35:49.260><c> salvation</c><00:35:49.820><c> by</c><00:35:50.139><c> the</c><00:35:50.400><c> grace</c><00:35:50.579><c> of</c><00:35:50.780><c> God</c>

00:35:51.300 --> 00:35:54.280
through<00:35:51.699><c> faith,</c><00:35:52.280><c> through</c><00:35:52.500><c> the</c><00:35:52.699><c> faith</c><00:35:52.860><c> of</c><00:35:53.019><c> Jesus</c><00:35:53.360><c> Christ.</c>

00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:56.579
So<00:35:54.639><c> it</c><00:35:54.719><c> wasn't</c><00:35:54.960><c> just</c><00:35:55.300><c> the</c><00:35:55.480><c> law</c><00:35:55.659><c> though,</c><00:35:55.880><c> the</c><00:35:56.179><c> prophets.</c>

00:35:56.800 --> 00:35:59.219
We<00:35:56.940><c> looked</c><00:35:57.159><c> at</c><00:35:57.360><c> Habakkuk</c><00:35:57.719><c> too,</c><00:35:58.219><c> that</c><00:35:58.380><c> the</c><00:35:58.599><c> just</c><00:35:58.820><c> would</c><00:35:59.039><c> live</c>

00:35:59.219 --> 00:35:59.800
by<00:35:59.579><c> faith.</c>

00:36:00.260 --> 00:36:03.340
You<00:36:00.400><c> look</c><00:36:00.579><c> in</c><00:36:00.820><c> Zechariah</c><00:36:01.340><c> 6,</c><00:36:01.960><c> how</c><00:36:02.099><c> all</c><00:36:02.280><c> the</c><00:36:02.320><c> way</c><00:36:02.440><c> through</c><00:36:02.679><c> Zechariah</c>

00:36:03.340 --> 00:36:05.639
there<00:36:03.480><c> is</c><00:36:03.719><c> this</c><00:36:03.980><c> pattern</c><00:36:04.320><c> of</c><00:36:04.539><c> a</c><00:36:04.739><c> king</c><00:36:04.920><c> and</c><00:36:05.119><c> a</c><00:36:05.360><c> priest.</c>

00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:07.820
And<00:36:06.260><c> the</c><00:36:06.500><c> priest</c><00:36:06.699><c> was</c><00:36:06.940><c> of</c><00:36:07.079><c> course</c><00:36:07.320><c> Joshua,</c>

00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:10.159
the<00:36:08.019><c> high</c><00:36:08.320><c> priest</c><00:36:08.539><c> who</c><00:36:08.679><c> had</c><00:36:08.780><c> come</c><00:36:09.019><c> back</c><00:36:09.480><c> from</c><00:36:09.760><c> Babylon.</c>

00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:12.659
And<00:36:10.420><c> the</c><00:36:10.599><c> king</c><00:36:10.860><c> was</c><00:36:11.179><c> Zerubbabel</c><00:36:11.639><c> who</c><00:36:11.840><c> should</c><00:36:12.039><c> have</c><00:36:12.159><c> been</c><00:36:12.280><c> the</c><00:36:12.480><c> king.</c>

00:36:13.139 --> 00:36:15.000
And<00:36:13.139><c> they're</c><00:36:13.619><c> always,</c><00:36:13.820><c> they're</c><00:36:14.159><c> played</c><00:36:14.340><c> back</c><00:36:14.599><c> and</c><00:36:14.840><c> forth</c>

00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:16.780

00:36:16.780 --> 00:36:19.260
You<00:36:17.000><c> get</c><00:36:17.280><c> to</c><00:36:17.460><c> Zechariah</c><00:36:18.039><c> 6</c><00:36:18.260><c> and</c><00:36:18.380><c> God</c><00:36:18.619><c> predicts</c><00:36:19.079><c> a</c><00:36:19.139><c> day</c>

00:36:19.260 --> 00:36:22.000
in<00:36:19.420><c> which</c><00:36:19.699><c> there</c><00:36:20.000><c> will</c><00:36:20.239><c> be</c><00:36:20.440><c> one</c><00:36:20.820><c> who</c><00:36:21.099><c> sits</c><00:36:21.340><c> on</c><00:36:21.599><c> the</c><00:36:21.820><c> throne</c>

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:23.119
and<00:36:22.139><c> he</c><00:36:22.300><c> will</c><00:36:22.420><c> be</c><00:36:22.619><c> a</c><00:36:22.800><c> priest.</c>

00:36:23.619 --> 00:36:25.940
And<00:36:23.760><c> it</c><00:36:23.840><c> was</c><00:36:24.039><c> the</c><00:36:24.300><c> prediction</c><00:36:24.719><c> that</c><00:36:25.139><c> there</c><00:36:25.360><c> would</c><00:36:25.519><c> be</c><00:36:25.719><c> one</c>

00:36:25.940 --> 00:36:28.000
who<00:36:26.099><c> would</c><00:36:26.320><c> come</c><00:36:26.619><c> who</c><00:36:27.079><c> would</c><00:36:27.239><c> be</c><00:36:27.400><c> the</c><00:36:27.559><c> king</c><00:36:27.760><c> priest.</c>

00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:30.119
Or<00:36:28.460><c> look</c><00:36:28.699><c> at</c><00:36:28.840><c> Paul's</c><00:36:29.179><c> use</c><00:36:29.320><c> of</c><00:36:29.480><c> Melchizedek</c>

00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:32.559
and<00:36:30.300><c> he</c><00:36:30.460><c> does</c><00:36:30.619><c> the</c><00:36:30.860><c> same</c><00:36:31.059><c> thing</c><00:36:31.280><c> and</c><00:36:31.500><c> shows</c><00:36:31.679><c> how</c><00:36:31.940><c> the</c><00:36:32.239><c> prophets</c>

00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:37.639
witness<00:36:33.239><c> to</c><00:36:33.840><c> a</c><00:36:34.139><c> salvation</c><00:36:34.780><c> by</c><00:36:35.380><c> the</c><00:36:35.679><c> grace</c><00:36:35.860><c> of</c><00:36:36.119><c> God</c><00:36:36.440><c> through</c><00:36:36.739><c> faith.</c>

00:36:38.699 --> 00:36:41.559
So<00:36:39.179><c> our</c><00:36:39.659><c> justification</c><00:36:40.400><c> then,</c><00:36:40.940><c> brother</c><00:36:41.039><c> and</c><00:36:41.159><c> sisters,</c>

00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:44.500
is<00:36:42.280><c> freely</c><00:36:42.739><c> by</c><00:36:43.420><c> God's</c><00:36:44.099><c> grace.</c>

00:36:44.739 --> 00:36:46.039
It's<00:36:45.079><c> a</c><00:36:45.239><c> gift.</c>

00:36:46.139 --> 00:36:49.019
It's<00:36:46.440><c> through</c><00:36:46.619><c> the</c><00:36:46.800><c> redemption</c><00:36:47.260><c> that</c><00:36:47.599><c> came</c><00:36:47.800><c> by</c><00:36:48.179><c> Jesus</c><00:36:48.539><c> Christ.</c>

00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:51.579
And<00:36:49.500><c> it</c><00:36:49.559><c> was</c><00:36:49.800><c> a</c><00:36:50.159><c> public</c><00:36:50.599><c> demonstration</c>

00:36:51.579 --> 00:36:53.840
so<00:36:51.980><c> that</c><00:36:52.320><c> everyone</c><00:36:52.699><c> would</c><00:36:53.000><c> see</c><00:36:53.300><c> publicly</c>

00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:55.539
that<00:36:54.099><c> this</c><00:36:54.300><c> is</c><00:36:54.460><c> how</c><00:36:54.599><c> it</c><00:36:54.760><c> works.</c>

00:36:55.619 --> 00:36:57.139
And<00:36:55.820><c> it</c><00:36:55.940><c> was</c><00:36:56.119><c> God's</c><00:36:57.139><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:36:57.639 --> 00:36:59.679
God's<00:36:58.159><c> sacrifice,</c><00:36:58.539><c> not</c><00:36:58.719><c> mine.</c>

00:36:59.780 --> 00:37:02.019
It<00:37:00.099><c> was</c><00:37:00.400><c> God</c><00:37:00.760><c> who</c><00:37:01.139><c> provided</c><00:37:01.539><c> it.</c>

00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:04.239
And<00:37:02.539><c> that's</c><00:37:02.900><c> something</c><00:37:03.179><c> Paul's</c><00:37:03.480><c> gonna</c><00:37:03.699><c> deal</c><00:37:03.920><c> with</c><00:37:04.119><c> here</c>

00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:05.880
I<00:37:04.320><c> think</c><00:37:04.460><c> in</c><00:37:04.599><c> how</c><00:37:04.719><c> he</c><00:37:04.980><c> uses</c><00:37:05.219><c> these</c><00:37:05.539><c> words.</c>

00:37:06.139 --> 00:37:08.179
And<00:37:06.360><c> it's</c><00:37:06.619><c> to</c><00:37:06.820><c> demonstrate</c><00:37:07.300><c> God's</c><00:37:07.780><c> righteousness</c>

00:37:08.179 --> 00:37:10.340
that<00:37:08.440><c> he's</c><00:37:08.599><c> just</c><00:37:08.940><c> and</c><00:37:09.179><c> the</c><00:37:09.380><c> justifier</c><00:37:09.800><c> of</c><00:37:10.000><c> the</c><00:37:10.159><c> one</c>

00:37:10.340 --> 00:37:12.179
who<00:37:10.539><c> has</c><00:37:10.760><c> the</c><00:37:10.960><c> faith</c><00:37:11.119><c> of</c><00:37:11.280><c> Jesus.</c>

00:37:12.219 --> 00:37:14.559
So<00:37:12.440><c> you</c><00:37:12.539><c> go</c><00:37:12.699><c> back</c><00:37:12.860><c> and</c><00:37:13.019><c> look</c><00:37:13.159><c> at</c><00:37:13.300><c> what</c><00:37:13.480><c> Paul's</c><00:37:13.880><c> doing</c><00:37:14.059><c> right</c><00:37:14.340><c> here</c>

00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:15.400
to<00:37:14.800><c> the</c><00:37:15.039><c> Greeks.</c>

00:37:15.739 --> 00:37:18.280
He's<00:37:16.199><c> destroying</c><00:37:16.840><c> all</c><00:37:17.159><c> their</c><00:37:17.360><c> pagan</c><00:37:17.639><c> ideas</c>

00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:21.199
because<00:37:19.000><c> they</c><00:37:19.519><c> thought</c><00:37:19.780><c> in</c><00:37:20.099><c> pagan</c><00:37:20.460><c> religion,</c>

00:37:21.579 --> 00:37:23.679
all<00:37:21.699><c> the</c><00:37:21.820><c> way</c><00:37:21.900><c> through</c><00:37:22.119><c> the</c><00:37:22.260><c> Old</c><00:37:22.440><c> Testament</c><00:37:22.760><c> you</c><00:37:22.960><c> read</c><00:37:23.159><c> about</c><00:37:23.400><c> this,</c>

00:37:23.940 --> 00:37:25.980
they<00:37:24.199><c> think</c><00:37:24.480><c> their</c><00:37:24.780><c> gods</c><00:37:25.000><c> are</c><00:37:25.340><c> angry</c><00:37:25.599><c> at</c><00:37:25.760><c> them</c>

00:37:25.980 --> 00:37:27.159
because<00:37:26.280><c> of</c><00:37:26.460><c> all</c><00:37:26.579><c> their</c><00:37:26.719><c> sins.</c>

00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:29.920
And<00:37:27.699><c> therefore</c><00:37:28.000><c> they</c><00:37:28.320><c> think</c><00:37:28.519><c> we've</c><00:37:28.820><c> gotta</c><00:37:28.940><c> appease</c><00:37:29.300><c> his</c><00:37:29.559><c> wrath.</c>

00:37:30.099 --> 00:37:32.019
We<00:37:30.239><c> gotta</c><00:37:30.440><c> do</c><00:37:30.719><c> something</c><00:37:30.960><c> to</c><00:37:31.159><c> make</c><00:37:31.340><c> him</c><00:37:31.519><c> look</c><00:37:31.719><c> at</c><00:37:31.880><c> us</c>

00:37:32.019 --> 00:37:32.960
in<00:37:32.300><c> a</c><00:37:32.420><c> good</c><00:37:32.599><c> way</c><00:37:32.800><c> again.</c>

00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:35.360
So<00:37:33.400><c> I</c><00:37:33.699><c> have</c><00:37:33.920><c> to</c><00:37:34.099><c> bring</c><00:37:34.219><c> a</c><00:37:34.420><c> sacrifice</c><00:37:34.880><c> to</c><00:37:35.139><c> God.</c>

00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:37.159
And<00:37:35.739><c> if</c><00:37:35.840><c> I've</c><00:37:36.059><c> done</c><00:37:36.159><c> something</c><00:37:36.440><c> really</c><00:37:36.920><c> bad</c>

00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:38.480
and<00:37:37.400><c> nations</c><00:37:37.659><c> really</c><00:37:38.139><c> been</c><00:37:38.360><c> bad,</c>

00:37:38.699 --> 00:37:40.619
I<00:37:38.840><c> better</c><00:37:39.000><c> bring</c><00:37:39.239><c> something</c><00:37:39.539><c> that</c><00:37:39.780><c> really</c><00:37:40.119><c> cost</c><00:37:40.320><c> me.</c>

00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:44.059
I'll<00:37:41.139><c> bring</c><00:37:41.300><c> my</c><00:37:41.719><c> son</c><00:37:42.119><c> and</c><00:37:42.639><c> I'll</c><00:37:43.059><c> offer</c><00:37:43.239><c> him</c><00:37:43.400><c> up</c><00:37:43.599><c> to</c><00:37:43.780><c> Molech</c>

00:37:44.059 --> 00:37:45.500
and<00:37:44.260><c> pass</c><00:37:44.699><c> him</c><00:37:44.860><c> through</c><00:37:45.039><c> the</c><00:37:45.219><c> fire.</c>

00:37:45.940 --> 00:37:47.539
This<00:37:46.300><c> is</c><00:37:46.539><c> what</c><00:37:46.739><c> the</c><00:37:46.900><c> pagans</c><00:37:47.199><c> thought.</c>

00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:50.300
We<00:37:48.079><c> had</c><00:37:48.320><c> to</c><00:37:48.579><c> provide</c><00:37:48.920><c> the</c><00:37:49.219><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:37:50.380 --> 00:37:54.300
So<00:37:50.559><c> the</c><00:37:50.760><c> Jews,</c><00:37:51.460><c> the</c><00:37:51.820><c> Jews</c><00:37:52.139><c> thought</c><00:37:52.519><c> they</c><00:37:53.019><c> had</c><00:37:53.239><c> to</c><00:37:53.599><c> sacrifice,</c>

00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:57.900
God<00:37:54.820><c> wants</c><00:37:55.199><c> me</c><00:37:55.460><c> to</c><00:37:55.719><c> sacrifice</c><00:37:56.360><c> so</c><00:37:56.760><c> that</c><00:37:57.000><c> I</c><00:37:57.139><c> can</c><00:37:57.460><c> prove</c>

00:37:57.900 --> 00:37:59.599
that<00:37:58.179><c> I</c><00:37:58.760><c> followed</c><00:37:59.039><c> the</c><00:37:59.300><c> rules.</c>

00:37:59.940 --> 00:38:02.059
I'm<00:38:00.460><c> attaining</c><00:38:00.800><c> to</c><00:38:01.039><c> the</c><00:38:01.159><c> righteousness</c><00:38:01.500><c> of</c><00:38:01.719><c> God.</c>

00:38:02.179 --> 00:38:03.780
And<00:38:02.380><c> I'm</c><00:38:02.539><c> going</c><00:38:02.659><c> through</c><00:38:02.900><c> all</c><00:38:03.179><c> these</c><00:38:03.420><c> rituals</c>

00:38:03.780 --> 00:38:06.219
and<00:38:03.940><c> I</c><00:38:04.139><c> make</c><00:38:04.260><c> sure</c><00:38:04.480><c> that</c><00:38:04.639><c> I</c><00:38:04.840><c> keep</c><00:38:05.000><c> them</c><00:38:05.260><c> all</c><00:38:05.500><c> jot</c><00:38:05.739><c> and</c><00:38:06.019><c> tittle</c>

00:38:06.219 --> 00:38:10.300
all<00:38:06.480><c> the</c><00:38:06.579><c> way</c><00:38:06.719><c> to</c><00:38:06.920><c> the</c><00:38:07.119><c> end</c><00:38:07.340><c> so</c><00:38:07.739><c> that</c><00:38:07.980><c> I</c><00:38:08.079><c> can</c><00:38:08.360><c> look</c><00:38:08.679><c> before</c><00:38:09.280><c> God.</c>

00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:13.900
But<00:38:10.559><c> what</c><00:38:10.860><c> Paul</c><00:38:11.159><c> does</c><00:38:11.599><c> is</c><00:38:11.900><c> he</c><00:38:12.079><c> turns</c><00:38:12.400><c> it</c><00:38:12.719><c> all</c><00:38:12.960><c> around</c>

00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:18.940
and<00:38:14.019><c> he</c><00:38:14.199><c> says,</c><00:38:14.760><c> oh</c><00:38:14.880><c> no,</c><00:38:15.760><c> God</c><00:38:16.340><c> provided</c><00:38:17.059><c> the</c><00:38:17.940><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:38:19.019 --> 00:38:20.420
Well,<00:38:19.179><c> that's</c><00:38:19.559><c> different.</c>

00:38:20.699 --> 00:38:22.500
And<00:38:20.820><c> see,</c><00:38:21.039><c> what</c><00:38:21.320><c> happens</c><00:38:21.840><c> when</c><00:38:22.000><c> you</c><00:38:22.239><c> look</c>

00:38:22.500 --> 00:38:24.139
at<00:38:22.760><c> the</c><00:38:22.960><c> death</c><00:38:23.179><c> of</c><00:38:23.380><c> Jesus</c><00:38:23.679><c> Christ?</c>

00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:26.739
We<00:38:24.679><c> have</c><00:38:24.860><c> to</c><00:38:25.019><c> get</c><00:38:25.199><c> rid</c><00:38:25.320><c> of</c><00:38:25.500><c> this</c><00:38:25.719><c> word</c><00:38:26.059><c> sacrifice</c>

00:38:26.739 --> 00:38:29.300
because<00:38:27.239><c> it</c><00:38:27.500><c> comes</c><00:38:27.760><c> with</c><00:38:27.980><c> too</c><00:38:28.199><c> many</c><00:38:28.460><c> strings</c><00:38:28.719><c> attached.</c>

00:38:29.579 --> 00:38:31.340
And<00:38:29.780><c> in</c><00:38:29.940><c> our</c><00:38:30.119><c> community</c><00:38:30.579><c> it's</c><00:38:30.840><c> sometimes</c>

00:38:31.340 --> 00:38:32.960
you<00:38:31.619><c> can't</c><00:38:31.880><c> even</c><00:38:32.199><c> explain</c><00:38:32.440><c> the</c><00:38:32.639><c> atonement</c>

00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:35.199
without<00:38:33.239><c> using</c><00:38:33.599><c> the</c><00:38:33.719><c> word</c><00:38:34.039><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:38.239
Paul<00:38:35.500><c> does,</c><00:38:36.159><c> he</c><00:38:36.460><c> does</c><00:38:36.780><c> explain</c><00:38:37.139><c> it</c><00:38:37.340><c> without</c><00:38:37.559><c> sacrifice</c>

00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:40.400
because<00:38:38.940><c> what</c><00:38:39.219><c> he's</c><00:38:39.559><c> going</c><00:38:39.719><c> to</c><00:38:39.960><c> illustrate</c>

00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:43.659
is<00:38:40.639><c> that</c><00:38:41.260><c> all</c><00:38:41.599><c> those</c><00:38:41.820><c> people</c><00:38:42.139><c> that</c><00:38:42.440><c> killed</c><00:38:42.579><c> Jesus,</c>

00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:46.360
those<00:38:43.940><c> Romans</c><00:38:44.300><c> and</c><00:38:44.539><c> Jews,</c><00:38:45.039><c> they</c><00:38:45.320><c> tortured</c><00:38:45.840><c> Jesus.</c>

00:38:46.659 --> 00:38:49.260
They<00:38:47.039><c> killed</c><00:38:47.320><c> him</c><00:38:47.480><c> up</c><00:38:47.659><c> on</c><00:38:47.840><c> a</c><00:38:48.079><c> cross</c><00:38:48.320><c> publicly</c><00:38:48.760><c> like</c><00:38:49.079><c> that</c>

00:38:49.260 --> 00:38:51.719
because<00:38:49.659><c> they</c><00:38:50.179><c> thought</c><00:38:50.440><c> he</c><00:38:50.780><c> deserved</c><00:38:51.239><c> it.</c>

00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:53.980
They<00:38:52.199><c> thought</c><00:38:52.480><c> that's</c><00:38:52.920><c> what</c><00:38:53.179><c> sinners</c><00:38:53.559><c> deserve</c>

00:38:53.980 --> 00:38:56.980
and<00:38:54.099><c> he</c><00:38:54.219><c> was</c><00:38:54.440><c> a</c><00:38:54.659><c> great</c><00:38:54.900><c> sinner</c><00:38:55.179><c> and</c><00:38:55.420><c> blasphemer</c><00:38:55.860><c> of</c><00:38:56.099><c> God.</c>

00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.039
You<00:38:58.380><c> don't</c><00:38:58.679><c> want</c><00:38:58.860><c> to</c><00:38:59.000><c> view</c><00:38:59.099><c> the</c><00:38:59.360><c> cross</c><00:38:59.599><c> that</c><00:38:59.880><c> way,</c>

brothers<00:39:00.340><c> and</c><00:39:00.539><c> sisters.</c>

00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:02.900

00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:20.579
And<00:39:17.199><c> what</c><00:39:17.400><c> they</c><00:39:17.800><c> did</c><00:39:18.039><c> is</c><00:39:18.539><c> publicly</c><00:39:19.059><c> showed</c><00:39:19.659><c> the</c><00:39:20.099><c> world</c>

and<00:39:27.079><c> especially</c><00:39:27.760><c> about</c><00:39:28.320><c> the</c><00:39:28.539><c> one</c><00:39:28.659><c> he's</c><00:39:28.880><c> been</c><00:39:29.179><c> trying</c>

00:39:33.139 --> 00:39:36.320
you<00:39:33.400><c> must</c><00:39:34.019><c> put</c><00:39:34.599><c> sin</c><00:39:35.059><c> to</c><00:39:35.480><c> death.</c>

You've<00:39:36.800><c> got</c><00:39:37.000><c> to</c><00:39:37.159><c> crucify.</c>

00:39:38.019 --> 00:39:40.119
That's<00:39:38.199><c> why</c><00:39:38.320><c> Jesus</c><00:39:38.699><c> would</c><00:39:38.940><c> say</c><00:39:39.099><c> take</c><00:39:39.380><c> up</c><00:39:39.599><c> your</c><00:39:39.820><c> cross</c>

00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:43.699
And<00:39:41.739><c> that's</c><00:39:41.920><c> why</c><00:39:42.019><c> Paul</c><00:39:42.300><c> would</c><00:39:42.480><c> say</c><00:39:42.579><c> I've</c><00:39:42.880><c> been</c><00:39:43.159><c> crucified</c>

00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:54.039
This<00:39:52.460><c> is</c><00:39:52.679><c> what</c><00:39:52.860><c> God</c><00:39:53.139><c> wanted</c><00:39:53.420><c> to</c><00:39:53.679><c> remember.</c>

00:39:54.340 --> 00:39:56.579

00:39:58.619 --> 00:40:00.820
and<00:39:58.800><c> just</c><00:39:59.019><c> think</c><00:39:59.159><c> about</c><00:39:59.380><c> the</c><00:39:59.539><c> fact</c><00:39:59.679><c> that</c><00:39:59.840><c> I</c><00:40:00.039><c> deserve</c><00:40:00.320><c> to</c><00:40:00.559><c> die.</c>

00:40:02.300 --> 00:40:03.619
That's<00:40:02.679><c> not</c><00:40:02.900><c> what</c><00:40:03.039><c> he's</c><00:40:03.300><c> after.</c>

00:40:03.619 --> 00:40:06.039
That's<00:40:04.219><c> why</c><00:40:04.400><c> all</c><00:40:04.780><c> the</c><00:40:04.940><c> New</c><00:40:05.159><c> Testament</c><00:40:05.559><c> writers</c>

00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:15.099

and<00:41:07.800><c> show</c><00:41:08.179><c> his</c><00:41:08.599><c> death</c><00:41:08.960><c> to</c><00:41:09.400><c> sin.</c>

00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:11.940
We<00:41:10.440><c> don't</c><00:41:10.739><c> give</c><00:41:10.940><c> in</c><00:41:11.079><c> to</c><00:41:11.320><c> sin</c><00:41:11.460><c> anymore.</c>

00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:13.719
That's<00:41:12.719><c> what</c><00:41:12.920><c> God</c><00:41:13.179><c> was</c><00:41:13.420><c> after.</c>

00:41:14.019 --> 00:41:16.139
That's<00:41:14.260><c> what</c><00:41:14.440><c> the</c><00:41:14.679><c> atonement</c><00:41:15.019><c> was</c><00:41:15.239><c> really</c><00:41:15.539><c> all</c><00:41:15.760><c> about.</c>

00:41:16.539 --> 00:41:18.519
But<00:41:16.719><c> the</c><00:41:17.000><c> perspective,</c><00:41:17.760><c> and</c><00:41:17.860><c> when</c><00:41:17.940><c> you</c><00:41:18.059><c> look</c><00:41:18.219><c> at</c><00:41:18.380><c> this,</c>

00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:19.760
how<00:41:18.719><c> do</c><00:41:18.880><c> you</c><00:41:19.000><c> view</c><00:41:19.159><c> the</c><00:41:19.420><c> cross?</c>

00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:22.599
Do<00:41:20.219><c> you</c><00:41:20.400><c> just</c><00:41:20.599><c> look</c><00:41:20.840><c> at</c><00:41:21.000><c> it</c><00:41:21.119><c> as</c><00:41:21.199><c> though</c><00:41:21.380><c> sinners</c><00:41:21.739><c> deserve</c><00:41:22.179><c> to</c><00:41:22.420><c> die</c>

00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:25.119
and<00:41:22.719><c> Jesus</c><00:41:23.099><c> illustrated</c><00:41:23.619><c> that</c><00:41:23.980><c> and</c><00:41:24.320><c> took</c><00:41:24.500><c> the</c><00:41:24.760><c> punishment</c>

00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:27.780
that<00:41:25.320><c> I</c><00:41:25.539><c> deserve,</c><00:41:26.099><c> is</c><00:41:26.360><c> that</c><00:41:26.639><c> what</c><00:41:26.820><c> we</c><00:41:27.059><c> see</c><00:41:27.179><c> in</c><00:41:27.340><c> the</c><00:41:27.539><c> cross?</c>

00:41:27.780 --> 00:41:31.579
Or<00:41:28.199><c> do</c><00:41:28.380><c> you</c><00:41:28.519><c> see</c><00:41:28.699><c> it</c><00:41:28.840><c> as</c><00:41:29.059><c> God</c><00:41:29.360><c> and</c><00:41:29.599><c> Christ</c><00:41:30.079><c> winning</c><00:41:30.860><c> the</c><00:41:31.139><c> victory</c>

00:41:31.579 --> 00:41:34.659
in<00:41:31.920><c> the</c><00:41:32.019><c> midst</c><00:41:32.199><c> of</c><00:41:32.480><c> all</c><00:41:32.699><c> the</c><00:41:32.920><c> wrong</c><00:41:33.239><c> things</c><00:41:33.539><c> people</c><00:41:33.840><c> did</c><00:41:34.019><c> to</c><00:41:34.219><c> Jesus,</c>

00:41:35.019 --> 00:41:38.500
they<00:41:35.380><c> won</c><00:41:35.739><c> the</c><00:41:36.019><c> war</c><00:41:36.239><c> against</c><00:41:36.619><c> sin</c><00:41:37.000><c> and</c><00:41:37.260><c> they</c><00:41:37.599><c> beat</c><00:41:37.800><c> sin</c><00:41:38.079><c> down.</c>

00:41:38.940 --> 00:41:40.639
Or<00:41:39.039><c> as</c><00:41:39.179><c> Paul</c><00:41:39.400><c> puts</c><00:41:39.679><c> it</c><00:41:39.960><c> in</c><00:41:40.000><c> Romans</c><00:41:40.300><c> eight,</c>

00:41:40.820 --> 00:41:43.599
said<00:41:40.880><c> God</c><00:41:41.300><c> has</c><00:41:41.679><c> done</c><00:41:41.860><c> what</c><00:41:42.059><c> the</c><00:41:42.300><c> law</c><00:41:42.539><c> could</c><00:41:42.880><c> not</c><00:41:43.139><c> do.</c>

00:41:43.980 --> 00:41:45.380
Although<00:41:44.139><c> it</c><00:41:44.260><c> was</c><00:41:44.480><c> weak</c><00:41:44.659><c> through</c><00:41:44.880><c> the</c><00:41:45.119><c> flesh,</c>

00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:49.539
he<00:41:45.980><c> condemned</c><00:41:46.539><c> sin</c><00:41:47.260><c> in</c><00:41:47.780><c> the</c><00:41:48.119><c> flesh</c><00:41:48.539><c> of</c><00:41:49.000><c> his</c><00:41:49.219><c> son.</c>

00:41:49.780 --> 00:41:51.900
And<00:41:49.960><c> therefore</c><00:41:50.260><c> now</c><00:41:50.500><c> there</c><00:41:50.639><c> is</c><00:41:50.880><c> no</c><00:41:51.159><c> condemnation</c>

00:41:51.900 --> 00:41:54.539
for<00:41:52.099><c> those</c><00:41:52.380><c> who</c><00:41:52.599><c> are</c><00:41:52.900><c> in</c><00:41:53.219><c> Christ</c><00:41:53.539><c> Jesus.</c>

00:41:55.300 --> 00:41:56.739
So<00:41:55.619><c> it</c><00:41:55.739><c> happens</c><00:41:55.880><c> when</c><00:41:56.000><c> I</c><00:41:56.079><c> get</c><00:41:56.239><c> too</c><00:41:56.460><c> animated,</c>

00:41:56.739 --> 00:41:58.380
I<00:41:57.039><c> touch</c><00:41:57.219><c> things</c><00:41:57.460><c> I</c><00:41:57.599><c> shouldn't.</c>

00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:00.739
So<00:41:58.820><c> when</c><00:41:59.000><c> you</c><00:41:59.199><c> start</c><00:41:59.360><c> looking</c><00:41:59.639><c> at</c><00:41:59.880><c> the</c><00:42:00.079><c> crucifixion,</c>

00:42:01.059 --> 00:42:05.039

00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:07.980
and<00:42:05.219><c> of</c><00:42:05.360><c> paganism</c><00:42:05.940><c> were</c><00:42:06.440><c> built</c><00:42:06.760><c> on</c><00:42:07.139><c> viewing</c><00:42:07.400><c> the</c><00:42:07.760><c> cross</c>

00:42:07.980 --> 00:42:08.800
the<00:42:08.239><c> wrong</c><00:42:08.420><c> way.</c>

00:42:09.159 --> 00:42:11.679
They<00:42:09.380><c> think</c><00:42:09.500><c> Jesus</c><00:42:09.920><c> died</c><00:42:10.280><c> in</c><00:42:10.460><c> our</c><00:42:10.699><c> place</c><00:42:10.940><c> as</c><00:42:11.099><c> our</c><00:42:11.300><c> substitute.</c>

00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:13.699
That's<00:42:12.099><c> what</c><00:42:12.320><c> the</c><00:42:12.619><c> churches</c><00:42:12.880><c> will</c><00:42:13.159><c> teach</c><00:42:13.340><c> today.</c>

00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.119
They<00:42:14.320><c> think</c><00:42:14.460><c> Jesus</c><00:42:14.820><c> took</c><00:42:15.039><c> your</c><00:42:15.320><c> place</c><00:42:15.559><c> on</c><00:42:15.739><c> the</c><00:42:15.920><c> cross</c>

00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:18.719
and<00:42:16.440><c> suffered</c><00:42:16.639><c> the</c><00:42:16.960><c> punishment</c><00:42:17.360><c> that</c><00:42:17.579><c> I</c><00:42:17.820><c> deserve.</c>

00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:20.179
You<00:42:18.900><c> see</c><00:42:18.980><c> these</c><00:42:19.219><c> words</c><00:42:19.539><c> that</c><00:42:19.739><c> they</c><00:42:19.980><c> use,</c>

00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:23.039
like<00:42:20.559><c> punishment,</c><00:42:21.420><c> deserve,</c><00:42:22.159><c> all</c><00:42:22.380><c> this</c><00:42:22.559><c> kind</c><00:42:22.760><c> of</c><00:42:22.940><c> stuff.</c>

00:42:23.380 --> 00:42:26.159
These<00:42:23.780><c> words</c><00:42:24.099><c> are</c><00:42:24.440><c> not</c><00:42:24.760><c> used</c><00:42:25.079><c> in</c><00:42:25.300><c> the</c><00:42:25.440><c> New</c><00:42:25.639><c> Testament</c>

00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:30.099
It<00:42:28.400><c> took</c><00:42:28.579><c> me</c><00:42:28.800><c> years</c><00:42:29.039><c> to</c><00:42:29.219><c> get</c><00:42:29.320><c> them</c><00:42:29.480><c> out</c><00:42:29.619><c> of</c><00:42:29.739><c> my</c><00:42:29.940><c> head.</c>

00:42:30.300 --> 00:42:32.920
I<00:42:30.500><c> grew</c><00:42:30.719><c> up</c><00:42:30.920><c> with</c><00:42:31.119><c> this</c><00:42:31.360><c> stuff</c><00:42:31.539><c> in</c><00:42:31.760><c> a</c><00:42:31.940><c> Christadelphian</c><00:42:32.539><c> family</c>

00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:37.619
and<00:42:35.039><c> somehow</c><00:42:35.440><c> I</c><00:42:35.860><c> picked</c><00:42:36.019><c> up</c><00:42:36.219><c> the</c><00:42:36.420><c> philosophy</c><00:42:36.860><c> of</c><00:42:37.039><c> this</c><00:42:37.280><c> world</c>

00:42:37.619 --> 00:42:40.699
that<00:42:38.119><c> the</c><00:42:38.480><c> crucifixion</c><00:42:38.980><c> of</c><00:42:39.159><c> Christ</c><00:42:39.440><c> was</c><00:42:39.699><c> about</c><00:42:40.079><c> punishment</c>

00:42:40.699 --> 00:42:42.659
and<00:42:41.199><c> somebody</c><00:42:41.440><c> deserved</c><00:42:42.059><c> this</c><00:42:42.400><c> all</c>

00:42:42.659 --> 00:42:45.480
and<00:42:43.059><c> that's</c><00:42:43.460><c> not</c><00:42:43.760><c> what</c><00:42:43.920><c> New</c><00:42:44.139><c> Testament</c><00:42:44.440><c> writers</c><00:42:44.800><c> use</c><00:42:45.059><c> it</c><00:42:45.280><c> for.</c>

00:42:45.860 --> 00:42:47.920
And<00:42:45.980><c> so</c><00:42:46.099><c> people</c><00:42:46.360><c> think</c><00:42:46.579><c> they</c><00:42:46.719><c> can</c><00:42:46.900><c> escape</c><00:42:47.300><c> the</c><00:42:47.559><c> punishment</c>

00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:51.639

00:42:51.659 --> 00:42:55.340
But<00:42:52.039><c> representation</c><00:42:53.079><c> to</c><00:42:53.500><c> us</c><00:42:53.800><c> is</c><00:42:54.059><c> that</c><00:42:54.280><c> Jesus</c><00:42:54.780><c> died</c>

00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:01.159
God<00:43:00.059><c> saved</c><00:43:00.500><c> his</c><00:43:00.840><c> son.</c>

00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:02.219
That's<00:43:01.579><c> what</c><00:43:01.719><c> he</c><00:43:01.920><c> did.</c>

00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:03.539

00:43:03.619 --> 00:43:07.360
He<00:43:03.820><c> took</c><00:43:04.099><c> somebody</c><00:43:04.440><c> of</c><00:43:04.659><c> our</c><00:43:04.900><c> race</c><00:43:05.199><c> and</c><00:43:05.579><c> he</c><00:43:06.039><c> developed</c><00:43:06.500><c> the</c><00:43:07.000><c> faith</c>

that<00:43:07.980><c> would</c><00:43:08.300><c> produce</c><00:43:08.900><c> perfect</c><00:43:09.340><c> obedience</c>

00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:12.579
and<00:43:10.539><c> that</c><00:43:10.760><c> this</c><00:43:11.079><c> man</c><00:43:11.280><c> could</c><00:43:11.559><c> rise</c><00:43:11.860><c> out</c><00:43:12.059><c> of</c><00:43:12.179><c> the</c><00:43:12.380><c> grave.</c>

00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:14.079
That's<00:43:13.380><c> what</c><00:43:13.559><c> God</c><00:43:13.800><c> did.</c>

00:43:14.219 --> 00:43:16.420
And<00:43:14.340><c> he</c><00:43:14.420><c> wasn't</c><00:43:14.780><c> suffering</c><00:43:15.260><c> anybody's</c><00:43:16.079><c> punishment.</c>

00:43:16.699 --> 00:43:20.519
He<00:43:17.079><c> willingly</c><00:43:17.519><c> died</c><00:43:18.079><c> to</c><00:43:18.519><c> show</c><00:43:18.699><c> me</c><00:43:18.920><c> that</c><00:43:19.239><c> sin</c><00:43:19.500><c> must</c><00:43:19.780><c> be</c><00:43:20.119><c> conquered,</c>

00:43:20.980 --> 00:43:23.619
put<00:43:21.139><c> to</c><00:43:21.380><c> death,</c><00:43:21.719><c> and</c><00:43:21.860><c> we</c><00:43:22.119><c> must</c><00:43:22.360><c> be</c><00:43:22.599><c> doing</c><00:43:22.760><c> the</c><00:43:22.940><c> will</c><00:43:23.039><c> of</c><00:43:23.260><c> God.</c>

00:43:23.619 --> 00:43:26.739
And<00:43:24.159><c> therefore,</c><00:43:25.579><c> this</c><00:43:25.840><c> is</c><00:43:26.059><c> where</c><00:43:26.139><c> it's</c><00:43:26.500><c> active.</c>

00:43:26.820 --> 00:43:28.780
This<00:43:26.960><c> is</c><00:43:27.139><c> not</c><00:43:27.340><c> a</c><00:43:27.639><c> passive</c><00:43:28.019><c> crucifixion.</c>

00:43:29.059 --> 00:43:31.599
This<00:43:29.239><c> is</c><00:43:29.500><c> the</c><00:43:29.860><c> power</c><00:43:30.219><c> of</c><00:43:30.440><c> the</c><00:43:30.679><c> cross.</c>

00:43:32.099 --> 00:43:34.099
Therefore,<00:43:32.380><c> I</c><00:43:32.460><c> must</c><00:43:32.719><c> follow</c><00:43:33.099><c> Christ's</c><00:43:33.579><c> example</c>

00:43:34.099 --> 00:43:38.380
and<00:43:34.699><c> put</c><00:43:34.960><c> to</c><00:43:35.260><c> death</c><00:43:35.460><c> my</c><00:43:35.840><c> own</c><00:43:36.199><c> evil</c><00:43:36.400><c> desires</c><00:43:37.000><c> and</c><00:43:37.380><c> live</c><00:43:37.679><c> for</c><00:43:38.000><c> God.</c>

00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:41.739
This<00:43:39.139><c> has</c><00:43:39.519><c> power</c><00:43:39.980><c> to</c><00:43:40.300><c> change</c><00:43:40.500><c> your</c><00:43:40.739><c> life,</c><00:43:41.019><c> brethren</c><00:43:41.199><c> and</c><00:43:41.400><c> sisters.</c>

00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:44.460
The<00:43:42.300><c> other</c><00:43:42.599><c> side,</c><00:43:43.119><c> no</c><00:43:43.400><c> power</c><00:43:43.739><c> in</c><00:43:43.980><c> that</c><00:43:44.119><c> at</c><00:43:44.320><c> all.</c>

00:43:44.699 --> 00:43:46.639
You<00:43:44.900><c> just</c><00:43:45.199><c> live</c><00:43:45.360><c> your</c><00:43:45.599><c> life</c><00:43:45.780><c> and</c><00:43:45.980><c> think</c><00:43:46.179><c> somehow</c>

00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:48.800
that<00:43:47.099><c> God's</c><00:43:47.420><c> gonna</c><00:43:47.559><c> just</c><00:43:47.860><c> cover</c><00:43:47.980><c> up</c><00:43:48.159><c> all</c><00:43:48.320><c> our</c><00:43:48.539><c> sins.</c>

00:43:49.260 --> 00:43:50.840
The<00:43:49.480><c> other</c><00:43:49.760><c> fun</c><00:43:49.960><c> thing</c><00:43:50.099><c> to</c><00:43:50.239><c> look</c><00:43:50.480><c> at,</c><00:43:50.719><c> though,</c>

00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:52.639
is<00:43:51.000><c> this</c><00:43:51.219><c> word,</c><00:43:51.500><c> perpetuation.</c>

00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:55.739
I<00:43:52.679><c> really</c><00:43:53.260><c> think</c><00:43:53.500><c> sometimes</c><00:43:54.019><c> Paul</c><00:43:54.360><c> picks</c><00:43:54.679><c> words</c><00:43:55.059><c> specifically</c>

00:43:55.739 --> 00:43:58.940
because<00:43:56.079><c> they</c><00:43:56.219><c> had</c><00:43:56.420><c> a</c><00:43:56.719><c> Jewish</c><00:43:56.980><c> and</c><00:43:57.260><c> a</c><00:43:57.539><c> Gentile</c><00:43:58.139><c> connotation.</c>

00:43:59.420 --> 00:44:01.719
So<00:43:59.619><c> in</c><00:43:59.880><c> the</c><00:44:00.119><c> Greek</c><00:44:00.320><c> language,</c><00:44:01.019><c> the</c><00:44:01.159><c> Greek</c><00:44:01.420><c> word,</c>

00:44:02.179 --> 00:44:04.699
the<00:44:02.739><c> writers,</c><00:44:03.440><c> the</c><00:44:03.659><c> Greek</c><00:44:03.900><c> people</c><00:44:04.219><c> tell</c><00:44:04.420><c> us,</c>

00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:08.239
it<00:44:05.099><c> was</c><00:44:05.420><c> used</c><00:44:05.800><c> as</c><00:44:06.199><c> a</c><00:44:06.559><c> gift</c><00:44:06.739><c> that</c><00:44:07.159><c> generates</c><00:44:07.699><c> peace</c>

00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:10.340
with<00:44:08.519><c> their</c><00:44:08.820><c> pagan</c><00:44:09.119><c> gods</c><00:44:09.420><c> and</c><00:44:09.619><c> with</c><00:44:09.800><c> each</c><00:44:10.000><c> other</c>

00:44:10.340 --> 00:44:12.260
when<00:44:10.639><c> you</c><00:44:10.800><c> had</c><00:44:10.980><c> problems</c><00:44:11.420><c> between</c><00:44:11.840><c> people</c>

00:44:12.260 --> 00:44:14.199
that<00:44:12.480><c> you</c><00:44:12.639><c> would</c><00:44:12.840><c> do</c><00:44:12.980><c> a</c><00:44:13.099><c> perpetuation.</c>

00:44:14.340 --> 00:44:16.519
It<00:44:14.360><c> was</c><00:44:15.199><c> a</c><00:44:15.440><c> gift</c><00:44:15.619><c> that</c><00:44:15.800><c> would</c><00:44:16.139><c> soothe,</c>

00:44:16.539 --> 00:44:18.820
and<00:44:16.739><c> the</c><00:44:16.920><c> pagans</c><00:44:17.179><c> used</c><00:44:17.440><c> that</c><00:44:17.639><c> to</c><00:44:17.940><c> describe</c><00:44:18.360><c> their</c><00:44:18.639><c> gifts</c>

00:44:18.820 --> 00:44:21.059
they<00:44:18.980><c> would</c><00:44:19.179><c> bring</c><00:44:19.280><c> to</c><00:44:19.440><c> their</c><00:44:19.619><c> gods</c><00:44:20.000><c> to</c><00:44:20.400><c> bring</c><00:44:20.579><c> them</c><00:44:20.719><c> peace.</c>

00:44:21.059 --> 00:44:23.900
So<00:44:21.599><c> to</c><00:44:21.860><c> the</c><00:44:22.099><c> pagans,</c><00:44:22.659><c> to</c><00:44:22.760><c> the</c><00:44:23.039><c> Greeks'</c><00:44:23.400><c> background,</c>

00:44:24.300 --> 00:44:26.500
they're<00:44:24.519><c> thinking</c><00:44:24.860><c> of</c><00:44:25.059><c> this</c><00:44:25.320><c> word</c><00:44:25.480><c> as</c><00:44:25.699><c> this</c><00:44:25.900><c> is</c><00:44:26.119><c> a</c><00:44:26.320><c> gift</c>

00:44:26.500 --> 00:44:29.519
that<00:44:26.739><c> I</c><00:44:26.940><c> have</c><00:44:27.139><c> to</c><00:44:27.340><c> give</c><00:44:27.559><c> in</c><00:44:27.800><c> order</c><00:44:28.019><c> to</c><00:44:28.260><c> produce</c><00:44:28.539><c> peace.</c>

00:44:29.739 --> 00:44:32.219
In<00:44:29.920><c> the</c><00:44:30.099><c> Septuagint,</c><00:44:30.940><c> the</c><00:44:31.059><c> word</c><00:44:31.219><c> is</c><00:44:31.440><c> sometimes</c><00:44:31.920><c> used</c>

00:44:32.219 --> 00:44:34.239
for<00:44:32.400><c> the</c><00:44:32.579><c> mercy</c><00:44:32.840><c> seat</c><00:44:33.079><c> because</c><00:44:33.400><c> the</c><00:44:33.699><c> word</c><00:44:33.860><c> itself</c>

00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:37.280
has<00:44:34.500><c> the</c><00:44:34.800><c> connection</c><00:44:35.119><c> of</c><00:44:35.400><c> mercy,</c><00:44:36.139><c> and</c><00:44:36.300><c> it's</c><00:44:36.539><c> used</c><00:44:36.760><c> that</c><00:44:37.079><c> way.</c>

00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:39.619
It's<00:44:37.539><c> also</c><00:44:37.860><c> used</c><00:44:38.119><c> in</c><00:44:38.320><c> Hebrews</c><00:44:38.559><c> nine</c><00:44:38.900><c> and</c><00:44:39.019><c> verse</c><00:44:39.239><c> five.</c>

00:44:39.820 --> 00:44:42.360
So<00:44:40.000><c> the</c><00:44:40.260><c> Jewish</c><00:44:40.539><c> mind,</c><00:44:40.860><c> they</c><00:44:41.019><c> went</c><00:44:41.159><c> right</c><00:44:41.380><c> away</c><00:44:41.519><c> to</c><00:44:41.659><c> the</c><00:44:41.840><c> mercy</c><00:44:42.079><c> seat,</c>

00:44:44.579 --> 00:44:47.619
So<00:44:44.820><c> what</c><00:44:45.079><c> Paul</c><00:44:45.440><c> does</c><00:44:45.739><c> with</c><00:44:46.019><c> this</c><00:44:46.380><c> is</c><00:44:46.719><c> he</c><00:44:46.960><c> uses</c><00:44:47.320><c> it</c>

00:44:50.820 --> 00:44:53.820
Now<00:44:51.059><c> what</c><00:44:51.219><c> we</c><00:44:51.460><c> give,</c><00:44:52.239><c> he</c><00:44:52.440><c> turns</c><00:44:52.679><c> it</c><00:44:52.900><c> all</c><00:44:53.199><c> around</c><00:44:53.420><c> and</c><00:44:53.639><c> says,</c>

00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:55.820
it's<00:44:54.320><c> not</c><00:44:54.440><c> about</c><00:44:54.619><c> what</c><00:44:54.780><c> you</c><00:44:55.000><c> do.</c>

00:44:55.840 --> 00:44:58.219
You<00:44:56.039><c> can</c><00:44:56.280><c> never</c><00:44:56.460><c> do</c><00:44:56.679><c> anything</c><00:44:57.059><c> to</c><00:44:57.340><c> justify</c><00:44:57.719><c> yourself.</c>

00:44:58.579 --> 00:45:00.519
It<00:44:58.719><c> was</c><00:44:58.920><c> all</c><00:44:59.179><c> about</c><00:44:59.440><c> what</c><00:44:59.820><c> God</c><00:45:00.159><c> did.</c>

00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:02.639
He<00:45:01.199><c> provided</c><00:45:01.780><c> the</c><00:45:02.179><c> atonement.</c>

all<00:45:12.679><c> that</c><00:45:12.840><c> was</c><00:45:13.139><c> designed</c><00:45:13.440><c> as</c><00:45:13.659><c> a</c><00:45:13.880><c> shadow</c>

00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:20.579
I<00:45:17.880><c> will</c><00:45:18.199><c> provide</c><00:45:18.800><c> redemption</c><00:45:19.400><c> in</c><00:45:19.800><c> Jesus</c><00:45:20.179><c> Christ,</c>

00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:23.980
That's<00:45:23.079><c> what</c><00:45:23.260><c> Paul</c><00:45:23.460><c> was</c><00:45:23.699><c> after.</c>

00:45:24.380 --> 00:45:26.639

00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:33.820
You're<00:45:30.920><c> gonna</c><00:45:31.039><c> see</c><00:45:31.340><c> that,</c><00:45:31.880><c> the</c><00:45:32.280><c> freely</c><00:45:32.719><c> given</c><00:45:33.000><c> gift</c><00:45:33.280><c> of</c><00:45:33.519><c> God,</c>

00:45:34.099 --> 00:45:35.719

that<00:45:35.940><c> these</c><00:45:36.199><c> people</c><00:45:36.460><c> had</c><00:45:36.739><c> thought,</c>

00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:38.239

00:45:38.699 --> 00:45:41.079
And<00:45:38.960><c> you'll</c><00:45:39.239><c> see</c><00:45:39.300><c> how</c><00:45:39.519><c> Paul</c><00:45:39.780><c> uses</c><00:45:40.059><c> this</c><00:45:40.320><c> in</c><00:45:40.420><c> Romans</c><00:45:40.699><c> five,</c>

that<00:45:41.219><c> we've</c><00:45:41.440><c> been</c><00:45:41.639><c> justified</c><00:45:42.260><c> by</c><00:45:43.019><c> faith,</c>

00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:46.699

00:45:47.139 --> 00:45:50.019
We<00:45:47.239><c> have</c><00:45:47.619><c> access</c><00:45:48.039><c> now</c><00:45:48.400><c> by</c><00:45:48.820><c> faith</c><00:45:49.099><c> into</c><00:45:49.380><c> this</c><00:45:49.739><c> grace.</c>

00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:52.840
Can't<00:45:50.579><c> you</c><00:45:50.679><c> see</c><00:45:50.800><c> him</c><00:45:51.000><c> building</c><00:45:51.219><c> on</c><00:45:51.500><c> the</c><00:45:51.719><c> terminology</c><00:45:52.199><c> of</c><00:45:52.480><c> the</c><00:45:52.619><c> law?</c>

00:45:53.019 --> 00:45:54.420
He's<00:45:53.199><c> looking</c><00:45:53.440><c> at,</c><00:45:53.699><c> you</c><00:45:53.719><c> could</c><00:45:53.920><c> never</c><00:45:54.079><c> get</c><00:45:54.219><c> into</c>

00:45:57.340 --> 00:45:59.179
to<00:45:57.559><c> the</c><00:45:57.699><c> grace</c><00:45:57.980><c> of</c><00:45:58.199><c> God</c><00:45:58.460><c> by</c><00:45:58.880><c> faith.</c>

00:45:59.579 --> 00:46:02.340
Paul<00:45:59.880><c> got</c><00:46:00.300><c> it</c><00:46:00.579><c> in</c><00:46:00.699><c> the</c><00:46:00.860><c> end,</c><00:46:01.119><c> so</c><00:46:01.219><c> what</c><00:46:01.420><c> this</c><00:46:01.559><c> was</c><00:46:01.739><c> all</c><00:46:02.019><c> about,</c>

00:46:02.619 --> 00:46:05.900
and<00:46:02.760><c> he</c><00:46:03.059><c> saw</c><00:46:03.219><c> how</c><00:46:03.420><c> it</c><00:46:03.480><c> was</c><00:46:03.760><c> all</c><00:46:04.139><c> just</c><00:46:04.519><c> foreshadowed</c><00:46:05.199><c> in</c><00:46:05.380><c> that</c><00:46:05.559><c> law.</c>

00:46:06.300 --> 00:46:08.739
And<00:46:06.460><c> in</c><00:46:06.599><c> this</c><00:46:06.780><c> grace</c><00:46:07.159><c> we</c><00:46:07.519><c> stand</c><00:46:07.719><c> and</c><00:46:08.000><c> we</c><00:46:08.199><c> rejoice</c>

00:46:08.739 --> 00:46:10.480
in<00:46:09.159><c> hope</c><00:46:09.360><c> of</c><00:46:09.559><c> the</c><00:46:09.760><c> glory</c><00:46:09.960><c> of</c><00:46:10.199><c> God.</c>

00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:12.760
Or<00:46:11.079><c> he's</c><00:46:11.280><c> later</c><00:46:11.480><c> on</c><00:46:11.599><c> gonna</c><00:46:11.780><c> talk</c><00:46:12.059><c> in</c><00:46:12.199><c> chapter</c><00:46:12.440><c> five</c>

00:46:12.760 --> 00:46:15.619
about<00:46:12.980><c> the</c><00:46:13.260><c> free</c><00:46:13.460><c> gift,</c><00:46:14.059><c> which</c><00:46:14.360><c> came</c><00:46:14.639><c> from</c><00:46:14.920><c> many</c><00:46:15.199><c> offenses</c>

00:46:18.440 --> 00:46:20.679
So<00:46:18.699><c> he</c><00:46:18.860><c> also</c><00:46:19.280><c> deals</c><00:46:19.559><c> with,</c><00:46:19.840><c> in</c><00:46:19.980><c> his</c><00:46:20.159><c> other</c><00:46:20.400><c> letters,</c>

00:46:20.780 --> 00:46:22.360
you<00:46:20.940><c> can</c><00:46:21.139><c> probably</c><00:46:21.360><c> see</c><00:46:21.699><c> echoes</c><00:46:21.960><c> of</c><00:46:22.139><c> this</c>

00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:25.059

00:46:27.900 --> 00:46:31.019
But<00:46:28.079><c> you</c><00:46:28.320><c> see,</c><00:46:28.539><c> it's</c><00:46:28.820><c> all</c><00:46:29.340><c> generated</c><00:46:30.000><c> by</c><00:46:30.539><c> God.</c>

00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:32.840
We<00:46:31.679><c> didn't</c><00:46:32.000><c> make</c><00:46:32.340><c> peace.</c>

00:46:33.159 --> 00:46:35.519
It<00:46:33.300><c> was</c><00:46:33.599><c> never</c><00:46:34.000><c> about</c><00:46:34.440><c> us.</c>

00:46:35.619 --> 00:46:37.219
We<00:46:35.980><c> are</c><00:46:36.199><c> the</c><00:46:36.320><c> ones</c><00:46:36.460><c> that</c><00:46:36.639><c> had</c><00:46:36.719><c> the</c><00:46:37.000><c> problem.</c>

00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:39.719
God<00:46:37.659><c> never</c><00:46:38.139><c> had</c><00:46:38.400><c> trouble</c><00:46:38.780><c> understanding</c><00:46:39.360><c> us.</c>

00:46:39.719 --> 00:46:43.840
He<00:46:40.159><c> never</c><00:46:40.699><c> needed,</c><00:46:41.340><c> in</c><00:46:41.579><c> a</c><00:46:41.800><c> sense,</c><00:46:42.579><c> somebody</c><00:46:42.860><c> to</c><00:46:43.219><c> fix</c><00:46:43.420><c> him.</c>

00:46:44.139 --> 00:46:46.900
The<00:46:44.500><c> problem</c><00:46:44.860><c> was</c><00:46:45.260><c> always</c><00:46:45.840><c> us.</c>

00:46:46.940 --> 00:46:50.539
That's<00:46:47.139><c> why</c><00:46:47.380><c> that</c><00:46:47.699><c> idea</c><00:46:48.099><c> of</c><00:46:48.440><c> change</c><00:46:48.739><c> us</c><00:46:49.260><c> and</c><00:46:49.820><c> not</c><00:46:50.159><c> God,</c>

But<00:47:12.960><c> God</c><00:47:13.159><c> and</c><00:47:13.360><c> Christ</c><00:47:13.559><c> are</c><00:47:13.699><c> up</c><00:47:13.880><c> there.</c>

00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:15.019
They're<00:47:14.579><c> together.</c>

00:47:15.099 --> 00:47:16.559
They're<00:47:15.340><c> sitting</c><00:47:15.599><c> next</c><00:47:15.940><c> to</c><00:47:16.079><c> each</c><00:47:16.280><c> other.</c>

00:47:16.940 --> 00:47:20.639
God<00:47:17.139><c> doesn't</c><00:47:17.440><c> need</c><00:47:17.760><c> anybody</c><00:47:18.320><c> to</c><00:47:19.059><c> be</c><00:47:19.320><c> that</c><00:47:19.679><c> kind</c><00:47:19.900><c> of</c><00:47:20.199><c> mediator.</c>

00:47:20.940 --> 00:47:25.059
What<00:47:21.179><c> he</c><00:47:21.559><c> wanted</c><00:47:21.900><c> was</c><00:47:22.219><c> to</c><00:47:22.480><c> convince</c><00:47:22.960><c> us</c><00:47:23.559><c> to</c><00:47:23.960><c> come</c><00:47:24.340><c> to</c><00:47:24.659><c> God.</c>

00:47:25.099 --> 00:47:26.019
That's<00:47:25.440><c> what</c><00:47:25.539><c> he</c><00:47:25.760><c> needed.</c>

00:47:26.340 --> 00:47:28.920
And<00:47:26.500><c> he</c><00:47:26.780><c> sent</c><00:47:27.039><c> his</c><00:47:27.460><c> son</c><00:47:27.659><c> to</c><00:47:27.960><c> convince</c><00:47:28.480><c> us</c>

00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:31.400
so<00:47:29.340><c> that</c><00:47:29.739><c> we</c><00:47:30.039><c> would</c><00:47:30.300><c> finally</c><00:47:30.659><c> understand</c>

00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:33.880
that<00:47:31.880><c> we</c><00:47:32.199><c> have</c><00:47:32.360><c> a</c><00:47:32.800><c> great</c><00:47:33.099><c> high</c><00:47:33.480><c> priest</c>

00:47:33.880 --> 00:47:36.880
who's<00:47:34.099><c> been</c><00:47:34.360><c> touched</c><00:47:34.679><c> with</c><00:47:34.940><c> the</c><00:47:35.239><c> feelings</c><00:47:35.599><c> of</c><00:47:35.880><c> our</c><00:47:36.219><c> infirmity.</c>

00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:40.599
Therefore,<00:47:37.920><c> we</c><00:47:38.179><c> can</c><00:47:38.440><c> come</c><00:47:38.800><c> boldly</c><00:47:39.440><c> to</c><00:47:39.619><c> the</c><00:47:39.780><c> throne</c><00:47:39.960><c> of</c><00:47:40.179><c> grace</c>

00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:43.159
that<00:47:41.159><c> we</c><00:47:41.340><c> will</c><00:47:41.519><c> receive</c><00:47:41.960><c> grace</c><00:47:42.460><c> and</c><00:47:42.719><c> mercy</c>

00:47:43.159 --> 00:47:44.659
in<00:47:43.739><c> our</c><00:47:43.900><c> time</c><00:47:44.179><c> of</c><00:47:44.420><c> need.</c>

00:47:45.059 --> 00:47:46.940
That's<00:47:45.619><c> Hebrews</c><00:47:45.840><c> four.</c>

00:47:47.219 --> 00:47:49.719
That's<00:47:47.780><c> what</c><00:47:47.980><c> Paul,</c><00:47:48.280><c> he</c><00:47:48.519><c> got</c><00:47:48.800><c> it</c><00:47:48.940><c> and</c><00:47:49.099><c> he</c><00:47:49.260><c> understood</c>

00:47:49.719 --> 00:47:52.880
that<00:47:50.320><c> he,</c><00:47:50.840><c> God,</c><00:47:51.179><c> is</c><00:47:51.320><c> the</c><00:47:51.480><c> one</c><00:47:51.659><c> who</c><00:47:51.960><c> provided</c><00:47:52.260><c> this</c><00:47:52.599><c> peace</c>

00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:53.940
and<00:47:53.119><c> he</c><00:47:53.380><c> provided</c><00:47:53.659><c> it.</c>

00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:57.239
So<00:47:54.679><c> Jesus</c><00:47:55.000><c> was</c><00:47:55.340><c> definitely</c><00:47:55.880><c> saved</c><00:47:56.420><c> by</c><00:47:56.860><c> faith.</c>

00:47:57.679 --> 00:47:59.760
If<00:47:57.840><c> you've</c><00:47:57.980><c> never</c><00:47:58.239><c> considered</c><00:47:58.699><c> that</c><00:47:59.019><c> concept</c><00:47:59.340><c> before,</c>

00:48:00.179 --> 00:48:00.940
it's<00:48:00.280><c> in</c><00:48:00.480><c> our</c><00:48:00.659><c> Bible.</c>

00:48:01.059 --> 00:48:03.360
It's<00:48:01.420><c> just</c><00:48:01.659><c> hidden</c><00:48:01.900><c> by</c><00:48:02.239><c> the</c><00:48:02.539><c> translators.</c>

00:48:03.360 --> 00:48:07.079
Probably<00:48:03.760><c> the</c><00:48:03.900><c> most</c><00:48:04.239><c> common</c><00:48:04.500><c> one</c><00:48:04.860><c> is</c><00:48:05.440><c> Hebrews</c><00:48:05.820><c> 12,</c><00:48:06.539><c> right?</c>

00:48:07.380 --> 00:48:09.800
After<00:48:07.659><c> Hebrews</c><00:48:07.960><c> 11</c><00:48:08.300><c> and</c><00:48:08.599><c> all</c><00:48:08.860><c> those</c><00:48:09.119><c> faithful</c><00:48:09.380><c> people</c>

in<00:48:09.980><c> Hebrews</c><00:48:10.219><c> 11,</c><00:48:11.019><c> we've</c><00:48:11.619><c> stopped</c><00:48:11.780><c> the</c><00:48:11.980><c> readings</c><00:48:12.199><c> in</c><00:48:12.440><c> chapter</c><00:48:12.679><c> 11</c>

00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:17.400

00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:20.199
that<00:48:17.760><c> after</c><00:48:18.000><c> listing</c><00:48:18.280><c> all</c><00:48:18.739><c> those</c><00:48:19.079><c> people</c><00:48:19.340><c> in</c><00:48:19.539><c> chapter</c><00:48:19.800><c> 11,</c>

and<00:48:23.699><c> the</c><00:48:23.960><c> translators</c><00:48:24.519><c> blew</c><00:48:24.800><c> it</c>

00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:27.579
because<00:48:25.460><c> they</c><00:48:25.940><c> said</c><00:48:26.500><c> Jesus</c><00:48:27.059><c> Christ</c>

00:48:27.579 --> 00:48:31.559

00:48:36.820 --> 00:48:38.480
They're<00:48:37.059><c> not</c><00:48:37.219><c> in</c><00:48:37.440><c> the</c><00:48:37.719><c> Greek.</c>

00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:41.099
Paul<00:48:38.760><c> was</c><00:48:39.019><c> trying</c><00:48:39.239><c> to</c><00:48:39.559><c> demonstrate</c><00:48:40.019><c> Jesus</c><00:48:40.639><c> Christ,</c>

00:48:41.420 --> 00:48:45.460
he's<00:48:41.659><c> the</c><00:48:41.980><c> pioneer</c><00:48:42.639><c> and</c><00:48:43.199><c> the</c><00:48:43.699><c> perfecter</c><00:48:44.460><c> of</c><00:48:45.079><c> faith</c>

00:48:45.460 --> 00:48:47.960
and<00:48:46.119><c> look</c><00:48:46.400><c> at</c><00:48:46.519><c> what</c><00:48:46.639><c> he</c><00:48:46.840><c> went</c><00:48:47.019><c> through</c><00:48:47.260><c> because</c><00:48:47.579><c> of</c><00:48:47.760><c> that</c>

00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:49.739

00:48:50.079 --> 00:48:51.079
And<00:48:50.280><c> then</c><00:48:50.480><c> what</c><00:48:50.639><c> do</c><00:48:50.739><c> you</c><00:48:50.940><c> think?</c>

00:48:51.139 --> 00:48:52.579
God's<00:48:51.340><c> gonna</c><00:48:51.500><c> treat</c><00:48:51.719><c> you</c><00:48:51.920><c> any</c><00:48:52.119><c> differently?</c>

00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:54.559
He's<00:48:53.280><c> treating</c><00:48:53.400><c> you</c><00:48:53.579><c> like</c><00:48:53.719><c> his</c><00:48:53.940><c> own</c><00:48:54.219><c> son.</c>

00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:55.880
We're<00:48:54.980><c> gonna</c><00:48:55.119><c> learn</c><00:48:55.320><c> obedience</c>

00:48:55.880 --> 00:48:57.699
by<00:48:56.119><c> the</c><00:48:56.300><c> things</c><00:48:56.460><c> that</c><00:48:56.639><c> we</c><00:48:56.840><c> suffer</c><00:48:57.139><c> as</c><00:48:57.440><c> well</c>

00:48:57.699 --> 00:49:01.380
and<00:48:57.840><c> he's</c><00:48:58.300><c> growing</c><00:48:58.679><c> faith</c><00:48:59.099><c> in</c><00:48:59.300><c> us</c><00:48:59.519><c> just</c><00:48:59.840><c> like</c><00:49:00.000><c> he</c><00:49:00.139><c> did</c><00:49:00.260><c> in</c><00:49:00.460><c> Jesus.</c>

00:49:01.260 --> 00:49:03.559

00:50:26.400 --> 00:50:29.719

00:50:30.179 --> 00:50:31.780
the<00:50:30.480><c> same</c><00:50:30.760><c> thing</c><00:50:30.960><c> that</c><00:50:31.159><c> works</c><00:50:31.320><c> in</c><00:50:31.539><c> us.</c>

00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:33.099

00:50:33.159 --> 00:50:36.860
It<00:50:33.260><c> is</c><00:50:33.500><c> to</c><00:50:33.800><c> all</c><00:50:34.119><c> those</c><00:50:34.440><c> who</c><00:50:34.760><c> are</c><00:50:34.900><c> of</c><00:50:35.019><c> the</c><00:50:35.239><c> faith</c><00:50:35.460><c> of</c><00:50:35.659><c> Jesus</c><00:50:35.980><c> Christ.</c>

00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:40.119
So<00:50:37.199><c> God</c><00:50:37.480><c> sent</c><00:50:37.719><c> him</c><00:50:38.019><c> forth</c><00:50:38.300><c> as</c><00:50:38.599><c> a</c><00:50:38.980><c> public</c><00:50:39.360><c> declaration</c>

00:50:44.260 --> 00:50:47.599
where<00:50:44.679><c> God</c><00:50:44.940><c> had</c><00:50:45.219><c> predicted</c><00:50:45.599><c> I</c><00:50:45.940><c> will</c><00:50:46.159><c> meet</c><00:50:46.360><c> with</c><00:50:46.599><c> you</c><00:50:46.760><c> there,</c>

00:51:08.059 --> 00:51:09.920
It's<00:51:08.599><c> such</c><00:51:08.820><c> a</c><00:51:09.139><c> simple</c><00:51:09.400><c> concept</c>

00:51:09.920 --> 00:51:11.619

00:51:11.860 --> 00:51:13.420
It<00:51:12.059><c> was</c><00:51:12.300><c> always</c><00:51:12.659><c> one</c><00:51:13.039><c> plan</c>

00:51:23.539 --> 00:51:25.800
That's<00:51:23.860><c> as</c><00:51:24.099><c> simple</c><00:51:24.320><c> really</c><00:51:24.659><c> as</c><00:51:24.940><c> the</c><00:51:25.159><c> atonement</c><00:51:25.460><c> is.</c>

00:51:26.119 --> 00:51:27.480
When<00:51:26.280><c> we</c><00:51:26.420><c> get</c><00:51:26.579><c> into</c><00:51:26.780><c> more</c><00:51:27.000><c> than</c><00:51:27.280><c> that</c>

00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:29.219
we<00:51:27.780><c> just</c><00:51:28.059><c> end</c><00:51:28.239><c> up</c><00:51:28.460><c> debating</c><00:51:28.780><c> things</c>

00:51:29.219 --> 00:51:31.260
that<00:51:29.519><c> are</c><00:51:29.860><c> just</c><00:51:30.139><c> not</c><00:51:30.480><c> really</c><00:51:30.800><c> practical</c>

00:51:31.260 --> 00:51:33.400
but<00:51:31.900><c> that's</c><00:51:32.199><c> what</c><00:51:32.380><c> God</c><00:51:32.599><c> was</c><00:51:32.820><c> really</c><00:51:33.119><c> after.</c>

00:51:33.599 --> 00:51:35.420
That's<00:51:33.920><c> really</c><00:51:34.179><c> what</c><00:51:34.420><c> declared</c><00:51:34.820><c> God</c><00:51:35.159><c> right.</c>

00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:37.179
So<00:51:35.920><c> you</c><00:51:36.039><c> look</c><00:51:36.239><c> at</c><00:51:36.440><c> it</c><00:51:36.539><c> and</c><00:51:36.639><c> you</c><00:51:36.820><c> contrast,</c>

00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:38.760
well<00:51:37.400><c> how</c><00:51:37.539><c> was</c><00:51:37.739><c> God</c><00:51:37.960><c> declared</c><00:51:38.340><c> righteous?</c>

00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:41.480
Is<00:51:39.260><c> he</c><00:51:39.500><c> declared</c><00:51:39.739><c> righteous</c><00:51:40.099><c> by</c><00:51:40.400><c> a</c><00:51:40.739><c> sinless</c><00:51:41.139><c> man</c>

00:51:41.480 --> 00:51:43.519

00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:46.400
No<00:51:44.119><c> way,</c><00:51:45.000><c> that</c><00:51:45.340><c> isn't</c><00:51:45.619><c> gonna</c><00:51:45.940><c> work.</c>

00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:48.539
Was<00:51:46.679><c> he</c><00:51:46.900><c> declared</c><00:51:47.199><c> righteous</c><00:51:47.559><c> by</c><00:51:47.820><c> a</c><00:51:48.000><c> sinless</c><00:51:48.300><c> man</c>

00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:51.760
so<00:51:50.239><c> that</c><00:51:50.400><c> God's</c><00:51:50.780><c> wrath</c><00:51:50.980><c> could</c><00:51:51.219><c> be</c><00:51:51.440><c> appeased</c>

00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:53.500

00:51:53.539 --> 00:51:57.199
No<00:51:53.840><c> way,</c><00:51:54.780><c> but</c><00:51:55.159><c> what</c><00:51:55.559><c> he</c><00:51:55.860><c> was</c><00:51:56.099><c> declared</c><00:51:56.519><c> righteous</c><00:51:56.920><c> in</c>

00:52:09.840 --> 00:52:12.360
This<00:52:10.219><c> is</c><00:52:10.500><c> what</c><00:52:10.659><c> God</c><00:52:10.920><c> was</c><00:52:11.199><c> after</c><00:52:11.579><c> all</c><00:52:12.039><c> along.</c>

00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:15.719

00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:25.519
It's<00:52:23.880><c> important</c><00:52:24.219><c> we</c><00:52:24.360><c> get</c><00:52:24.559><c> this</c><00:52:24.780><c> brother</c><00:52:25.000><c> and</c><00:52:25.179><c> sisters.</c>
