00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:19.000
Today's<00:00:15.320><c> topic</c><00:00:15.699><c> is</c><00:00:16.440><c> freedom</c><00:00:16.980><c> to</c><00:00:17.300><c> walk</c><00:00:17.559><c> in</c><00:00:17.820><c> the</c><00:00:18.039><c> Spirit.</c>

00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:25.160
I'll<00:00:22.359><c> let</c><00:00:22.379><c> you</c><00:00:22.519><c> go</c><00:00:22.719><c> by.</c><00:00:23.980><c> Thanks,</c><00:00:24.660><c> Jeff.</c>

Good<00:00:27.480><c> morning.</c>

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.299
Well,<00:00:29.940><c> I</c><00:00:29.940><c> thought</c><00:00:30.120><c> we</c><00:00:30.239><c> were</c><00:00:30.339><c> going</c><00:00:30.420><c> to</c><00:00:30.519><c> get</c><00:00:30.660><c> to</c><00:00:30.820><c> Galatians</c><00:00:31.219><c> four</c><00:00:31.460><c> yesterday,</c><00:00:32.020><c> but</c>

00:00:32.299 --> 00:00:33.060
we<00:00:32.560><c> didn't.</c>

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.460
I<00:00:33.380><c> thought</c><00:00:33.539><c> that</c><00:00:33.700><c> was</c><00:00:33.880><c> pretty</c><00:00:34.140><c> bad</c><00:00:34.359><c> until</c><00:00:34.600><c> I</c><00:00:34.820><c> heard</c><00:00:35.020><c> that</c><00:00:35.240><c> the</c>

00:00:35.460 --> 00:00:37.719
kindergarten<00:00:35.820><c> class</c><00:00:36.280><c> is</c><00:00:36.500><c> doing</c><00:00:36.640><c> the</c><00:00:36.880><c> days</c><00:00:37.039><c> of</c><00:00:37.320><c> creation.</c>

00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.299
And<00:00:38.380><c> today</c><00:00:38.560><c> they</c><00:00:38.799><c> were</c><00:00:38.859><c> on</c><00:00:38.960><c> day</c><00:00:39.200><c> four.</c>

00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:43.960
So<00:00:40.439><c> we're</c><00:00:41.299><c> not</c><00:00:41.460><c> doing</c><00:00:41.640><c> so</c><00:00:41.939><c> bad</c><00:00:42.060><c> after</c><00:00:42.500><c> all.</c>

00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:46.280
Oh,<00:00:45.840><c> yes.</c>

00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.560
Anyways,<00:00:47.579><c> what</c><00:00:47.939><c> I</c><00:00:48.299><c> would</c><00:00:48.520><c> like</c><00:00:48.719><c> to</c><00:00:48.859><c> do</c><00:00:48.979><c> today,</c><00:00:49.240><c> though,</c><00:00:49.460><c> is</c>

00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:50.320
hopefully<00:00:49.759><c> get</c><00:00:50.020><c> through.</c>

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:52.600
We'll<00:00:50.600><c> look</c><00:00:50.740><c> at</c><00:00:50.899><c> Galatians</c><00:00:51.280><c> four,</c><00:00:51.740><c> maybe</c><00:00:51.939><c> go</c><00:00:52.159><c> through</c><00:00:52.380><c> it</c><00:00:52.560><c> a</c>

00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.859
little<00:00:52.719><c> bit</c><00:00:52.960><c> quicker</c><00:00:53.179><c> than</c><00:00:53.780><c> we</c><00:00:54.020><c> would</c><00:00:54.219><c> have</c><00:00:54.359><c> otherwise.</c>

00:00:54.859 --> 00:00:59.960
And<00:00:55.320><c> then</c><00:00:55.520><c> move</c><00:00:55.719><c> on</c><00:00:55.899><c> to</c><00:00:56.060><c> chapters</c><00:00:56.299><c> five</c><00:00:56.539><c> and</c><00:00:56.679><c> six,</c><00:00:57.740><c> because</c><00:00:57.939><c> remember</c><00:00:58.299><c> the</c><00:00:58.439><c> way</c><00:00:58.579><c> Paul</c><00:00:58.840><c> set</c><00:00:59.020><c> out</c><00:00:59.240><c> the</c><00:00:59.420><c> letter</c><00:00:59.700><c> is</c>

00:01:03.340 --> 00:01:04.260
one<00:01:03.539><c> and</c><00:01:03.719><c> two.</c>

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.500
And<00:01:04.659><c> then</c><00:01:04.900><c> in</c><00:01:05.120><c> chapters</c><00:01:05.359><c> three</c><00:01:05.659><c> and</c><00:01:05.760><c> four,</c><00:01:06.120><c> now</c><00:01:06.180><c> he's</c><00:01:06.400><c> going</c>

00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:10.540
to<00:01:06.599><c> give</c><00:01:06.700><c> us</c><00:01:06.879><c> his</c><00:01:07.079><c> Bible</c><00:01:07.500><c> exposition</c><00:01:08.400><c> for</c><00:01:08.920><c> his</c><00:01:09.180><c> gospel</c><00:01:09.519><c> of</c><00:01:09.819><c> grace</c><00:01:10.140><c> and</c>

00:01:10.540 --> 00:01:12.239
why<00:01:10.700><c> we</c><00:01:10.900><c> don't</c><00:01:11.140><c> want</c><00:01:11.239><c> to</c><00:01:11.280><c> go</c><00:01:11.420><c> back</c><00:01:11.599><c> to</c><00:01:11.760><c> the</c><00:01:11.959><c> law.</c>

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:15.340
And<00:01:12.739><c> then</c><00:01:12.900><c> in</c><00:01:13.120><c> chapters</c><00:01:13.340><c> five</c><00:01:13.620><c> and</c><00:01:14.019><c> six,</c><00:01:14.540><c> then</c><00:01:14.760><c> what</c><00:01:14.879><c> he's</c><00:01:15.120><c> going</c><00:01:15.200><c> to</c>

00:01:15.340 --> 00:01:17.659

00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:20.840
This<00:01:19.299><c> is</c><00:01:19.500><c> not</c><00:01:19.640><c> just</c><00:01:19.819><c> an</c><00:01:20.120><c> academic</c><00:01:20.480><c> study.</c>

00:01:20.859 --> 00:01:22.579
This<00:01:21.040><c> is</c><00:01:21.219><c> something</c><00:01:21.459><c> that's</c><00:01:21.739><c> going</c><00:01:21.819><c> to</c><00:01:22.000><c> affect</c><00:01:22.159><c> the</c><00:01:22.340><c> way</c><00:01:22.420><c> that</c>

we<00:01:22.760><c> live.</c>

00:01:23.019 --> 00:01:25.900
And<00:01:23.359><c> so</c><00:01:23.620><c> chapters</c><00:01:23.959><c> five</c><00:01:24.260><c> and</c><00:01:24.420><c> six</c><00:01:24.739><c> is</c><00:01:24.900><c> where</c><00:01:25.060><c> it</c><00:01:25.239><c> all</c><00:01:25.379><c> comes</c><00:01:25.680><c> to</c>

a<00:01:26.040><c> head.</c>

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.159
It's<00:01:26.819><c> like</c><00:01:27.140><c> studying</c><00:01:27.400><c> the</c><00:01:27.599><c> book</c><00:01:27.700><c> of</c><00:01:27.939><c> Romans</c><00:01:28.200><c> and</c><00:01:28.379><c> you</c><00:01:28.439><c> get</c><00:01:28.579><c> through</c><00:01:28.799><c> all</c>

the<00:01:32.980><c> grace</c><00:01:33.180><c> of</c><00:01:33.420><c> God.</c>

00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.659
And<00:01:34.060><c> you</c><00:01:34.280><c> finally</c><00:01:34.500><c> get</c><00:01:34.640><c> up</c><00:01:34.799><c> to</c><00:01:34.959><c> chapter</c><00:01:35.219><c> 12</c><00:01:35.859><c> and</c><00:01:36.200><c> it's</c><00:01:36.459><c> almost</c>

00:01:36.659 --> 00:01:37.680
like<00:01:36.840><c> there's</c><00:01:37.120><c> a</c><00:01:37.280><c> disconnect.</c>

You<00:01:37.920><c> start</c><00:01:38.079><c> thinking,</c><00:01:38.319><c> oh,</c><00:01:38.739><c> Paul</c><00:01:38.920><c> threw</c><00:01:39.120><c> in</c><00:01:39.239><c> these</c><00:01:39.459><c> chapters</c>

00:01:44.620 --> 00:01:46.319
I<00:01:44.620><c> used</c><00:01:44.840><c> to</c><00:01:45.019><c> think</c><00:01:45.140><c> that</c><00:01:45.359><c> when</c><00:01:45.480><c> we</c><00:01:45.640><c> were</c><00:01:45.760><c> doing</c><00:01:45.900><c> the</c><00:01:46.099><c> readings</c>

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.599
When<00:01:48.659><c> you</c><00:01:48.760><c> get</c><00:01:48.959><c> to</c><00:01:49.120><c> chapter</c><00:01:49.319><c> 12,</c><00:01:50.000><c> it</c><00:01:50.260><c> took</c><00:01:50.400><c> me</c><00:01:50.620><c> years</c><00:01:50.819><c> to</c><00:01:51.040><c> realize</c><00:01:51.319><c> it.</c>

00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:56.099
Wow,<00:01:52.579><c> he's</c><00:01:52.780><c> really</c><00:01:52.939><c> left</c><00:01:53.299><c> 12,</c><00:01:53.700><c> 13,</c><00:01:54.099><c> 14,</c><00:01:54.519><c> all</c><00:01:54.659><c> the</c><00:01:54.859><c> applications</c><00:01:55.359><c> to</c><00:01:55.579><c> the</c><00:01:55.799><c> end</c>

00:01:56.099 --> 00:01:59.459
is<00:01:56.519><c> because</c><00:01:56.739><c> it's</c><00:01:57.000><c> all</c><00:01:57.159><c> based</c><00:01:57.579><c> on</c><00:01:58.019><c> the</c><00:01:58.340><c> first</c><00:01:58.560><c> 11</c><00:01:58.840><c> chapters.</c>

00:01:59.859 --> 00:02:02.780
And<00:02:00.000><c> you'd</c><00:02:00.340><c> never</c><00:02:00.659><c> understand</c><00:02:01.439><c> where</c><00:02:01.659><c> he's</c><00:02:01.900><c> driving</c><00:02:02.260><c> at</c><00:02:02.579><c> in</c>

00:02:02.780 --> 00:02:06.859
12,<00:02:03.000><c> 13,</c><00:02:03.420><c> 14</c><00:02:03.799><c> if</c><00:02:04.200><c> you</c><00:02:04.400><c> don't</c><00:02:04.659><c> see</c><00:02:05.040><c> the</c><00:02:05.480><c> basis</c><00:02:06.120><c> for</c><00:02:06.500><c> it,</c>

00:02:06.939 --> 00:02:09.759
where<00:02:07.060><c> he</c><00:02:07.299><c> lays</c><00:02:07.459><c> out</c><00:02:07.719><c> the</c><00:02:07.939><c> Bible</c><00:02:08.360><c> basis</c><00:02:08.840><c> for</c><00:02:09.080><c> why</c><00:02:09.300><c> we</c><00:02:09.460><c> have</c><00:02:09.580><c> to</c>

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.419
behave<00:02:10.039><c> that</c><00:02:10.340><c> way</c><00:02:10.740><c> in</c><00:02:11.060><c> 12,</c><00:02:11.280><c> 13,</c><00:02:11.699><c> 14,</c><00:02:12.000><c> 15.</c>

00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:14.719
So<00:02:13.259><c> in</c><00:02:13.699><c> Galatians</c><00:02:14.099><c> is</c><00:02:14.300><c> no</c><00:02:14.460><c> different.</c>

00:02:14.740 --> 00:02:17.340
And<00:02:14.879><c> that's</c><00:02:15.120><c> really</c><00:02:15.360><c> why</c><00:02:15.479><c> they</c><00:02:15.719><c> call</c><00:02:15.819><c> this</c><00:02:16.099><c> a</c><00:02:16.240><c> mini</c><00:02:16.419><c>-Romans.</c>

00:02:17.340 --> 00:02:19.620
So<00:02:17.780><c> what</c><00:02:18.039><c> we</c><00:02:18.180><c> want</c><00:02:18.280><c> to</c><00:02:18.400><c> do</c><00:02:18.460><c> this</c><00:02:18.620><c> morning</c><00:02:18.840><c> is</c><00:02:19.000><c> have</c><00:02:19.139><c> a</c><00:02:19.199><c> look</c><00:02:19.340><c> at</c>

00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:20.319
chapter<00:02:19.900><c> four.</c>

00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:23.360
We'll<00:02:20.580><c> pick</c><00:02:20.659><c> it</c><00:02:20.740><c> up</c><00:02:20.879><c> there</c><00:02:21.219><c> on</c><00:02:21.659><c> what</c><00:02:21.860><c> Paul</c><00:02:22.159><c> does</c><00:02:22.620><c> when</c><00:02:22.780><c> he's</c><00:02:23.120><c> trying</c><00:02:23.240><c> to</c>

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.060
give<00:02:23.460><c> this</c><00:02:23.699><c> explanation</c><00:02:24.319><c> as</c><00:02:25.039><c> to</c><00:02:25.240><c> why</c><00:02:25.439><c> we</c><00:02:25.580><c> don't</c><00:02:25.759><c> want</c><00:02:25.879><c> to</c><00:02:25.939><c> go</c>

00:02:26.060 --> 00:02:26.800
back<00:02:26.219><c> to</c><00:02:26.360><c> the</c><00:02:26.560><c> law</c>

00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.259
and<00:02:27.000><c> why</c><00:02:27.340><c> the</c><00:02:27.620><c> law</c><00:02:27.840><c> had</c><00:02:28.159><c> predicted</c><00:02:28.780><c> that</c><00:02:29.199><c> really</c><00:02:29.620><c> it</c><00:02:29.819><c> was</c><00:02:30.000><c> going</c><00:02:30.120><c> to</c>

00:02:30.259 --> 00:02:30.879
be<00:02:30.439><c> removed.</c>

00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.719
And<00:02:31.080><c> there</c><00:02:31.219><c> was</c><00:02:31.340><c> something</c><00:02:31.719><c> greater</c><00:02:32.240><c> than</c><00:02:32.479><c> the</c><00:02:32.699><c> law</c><00:02:32.979><c> all</c><00:02:33.479><c> along.</c>

00:02:33.819 --> 00:02:37.240
There<00:02:33.919><c> was</c><00:02:34.099><c> this</c><00:02:34.340><c> gospel</c><00:02:34.740><c> of</c><00:02:35.039><c> grace,</c><00:02:35.460><c> the</c><00:02:35.639><c> promises</c><00:02:36.020><c> to</c><00:02:36.319><c> Abraham</c><00:02:36.759><c> that</c>

00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.219
were<00:02:37.400><c> given</c><00:02:37.560><c> by</c><00:02:37.900><c> a</c><00:02:38.060><c> promise</c><00:02:38.479><c> and</c><00:02:38.740><c> an</c><00:02:38.919><c> oath,</c>

00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:41.919
two<00:02:39.800><c> things</c><00:02:40.159><c> in</c><00:02:40.340><c> which</c><00:02:40.479><c> it</c><00:02:40.599><c> was</c><00:02:40.759><c> impossible</c><00:02:41.240><c> that</c><00:02:41.479><c> God</c><00:02:41.659><c> could</c>

00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.960
lie<00:02:42.259><c> that</c><00:02:42.800><c> the</c><00:02:43.120><c> promise</c><00:02:43.500><c> of</c><00:02:43.759><c> the</c><00:02:43.919><c> blessing</c><00:02:44.120><c> of</c><00:02:44.360><c> Abraham</c><00:02:44.719><c> would</c>

00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.460
fall<00:02:45.159><c> on</c><00:02:45.379><c> the</c><00:02:45.500><c> Gentiles</c><00:02:45.919><c> as</c><00:02:46.180><c> well.</c>

00:02:46.460 --> 00:02:49.740
So<00:02:47.240><c> what</c><00:02:47.639><c> we</c><00:02:47.840><c> ended</c><00:02:47.960><c> up</c><00:02:48.180><c> yesterday</c><00:02:48.539><c> with</c><00:02:48.800><c> that</c><00:02:48.979><c> last</c><00:02:49.280><c> verse</c><00:02:49.539><c> of</c>

00:02:49.740 --> 00:02:51.199
chapter<00:02:49.979><c> three,</c><00:02:50.500><c> verse</c><00:02:50.680><c> 29.</c>

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.800
And<00:02:51.379><c> if</c><00:02:51.539><c> you</c><00:02:51.719><c> are</c><00:02:51.939><c> Christ,</c><00:02:52.740><c> then</c><00:02:53.000><c> you</c><00:02:53.180><c> are</c><00:02:53.360><c> Abraham's</c><00:02:54.479><c> seed.</c>

00:02:55.219 --> 00:02:57.759
See,<00:02:55.400><c> that's</c><00:02:55.719><c> that</c><00:02:55.840><c> connection</c><00:02:56.300><c> to</c><00:02:56.539><c> the</c><00:02:56.879><c> seed</c><00:02:57.180><c> earlier</c><00:02:57.560><c> in</c>

00:02:57.759 --> 00:02:58.300
the<00:02:57.939><c> chapter.</c>

00:02:58.539 --> 00:03:01.419
We<00:02:58.719><c> can</c><00:02:58.900><c> become</c><00:02:59.360><c> part</c><00:02:59.699><c> of</c><00:03:00.000><c> Abraham's</c><00:03:01.120><c> seed.</c>

00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:03.219
It's<00:03:01.960><c> like</c><00:03:02.159><c> a</c><00:03:02.479><c> type</c><00:03:02.639><c> of</c><00:03:02.939><c> seed.</c>

00:03:03.699 --> 00:03:04.860
It's<00:03:03.939><c> Christ</c><00:03:04.159><c> is</c><00:03:04.360><c> one</c><00:03:04.500><c> of</c><00:03:04.659><c> those.</c>

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:06.199
He's<00:03:05.219><c> the</c><00:03:05.479><c> primary</c><00:03:05.879><c> one.</c>

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.159
And<00:03:06.840><c> everybody</c><00:03:07.219><c> becomes</c><00:03:07.599><c> part</c><00:03:07.860><c> of</c><00:03:08.000><c> that</c><00:03:08.300><c> seed</c><00:03:08.560><c> in</c><00:03:08.900><c> Christ.</c>

00:03:09.419 --> 00:03:11.719
And<00:03:09.759><c> then</c><00:03:09.939><c> we</c><00:03:10.199><c> become</c><00:03:10.580><c> heirs.</c>

00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:12.979
We<00:03:12.099><c> don't</c><00:03:12.319><c> earn</c><00:03:12.539><c> this.</c>

00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:14.060
It's<00:03:13.300><c> an</c><00:03:13.539><c> inheritance.</c>

00:03:14.060 --> 00:03:18.360
We<00:03:14.400><c> become</c><00:03:14.620><c> heirs</c><00:03:15.300><c> according</c><00:03:15.960><c> to</c><00:03:16.539><c> the</c><00:03:16.919><c> promise,</c><00:03:17.759><c> the</c><00:03:18.060><c> promise</c>

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.319
that<00:03:18.620><c> God</c><00:03:18.900><c> gave</c><00:03:19.099><c> Abraham</c><00:03:19.599><c> and</c><00:03:20.180><c> his</c><00:03:20.560><c> and</c><00:03:20.840><c> his</c><00:03:21.099><c> wife,</c>

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.300
that<00:03:21.780><c> they</c><00:03:22.099><c> would</c><00:03:22.500><c> in</c><00:03:22.919><c> the</c><00:03:23.080><c> end</c><00:03:23.219><c> that</c><00:03:23.479><c> all</c><00:03:23.620><c> nations</c><00:03:23.900><c> would</c><00:03:24.080><c> be</c>

00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:26.560
blessed<00:03:24.500><c> in</c><00:03:24.740><c> them</c><00:03:25.099><c> through</c><00:03:25.460><c> their</c><00:03:25.759><c> seed.</c>

00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:30.020
So<00:03:27.199><c> what</c><00:03:27.520><c> Paul</c><00:03:27.759><c> does</c><00:03:28.080><c> now</c><00:03:28.300><c> in</c><00:03:28.539><c> chapter</c><00:03:28.740><c> four</c><00:03:29.060><c> is</c><00:03:29.159><c> he</c><00:03:29.340><c> says</c><00:03:29.639><c> in</c>

00:03:30.020 --> 00:03:30.680
verse<00:03:30.240><c> one</c><00:03:30.500><c> there.</c>

00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:33.819
Now,<00:03:30.960><c> look,</c><00:03:31.120><c> I</c><00:03:31.419><c> say</c><00:03:31.780><c> that</c><00:03:32.379><c> the</c><00:03:32.659><c> heir</c><00:03:33.039><c> and</c><00:03:33.319><c> now</c><00:03:33.479><c> he's</c><00:03:33.699><c> going</c><00:03:33.740><c> to</c>

00:03:33.819 --> 00:03:35.560
go<00:03:33.919><c> into</c><00:03:34.080><c> this</c><00:03:34.319><c> issue</c><00:03:34.580><c> about</c><00:03:34.879><c> an</c><00:03:35.180><c> inheritance.</c>

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:37.860
How<00:03:36.020><c> does</c><00:03:36.319><c> an</c><00:03:36.580><c> inheritance</c><00:03:36.939><c> actually</c><00:03:37.460><c> work?</c>

00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:44.080
Well,<00:03:38.680><c> the</c><00:03:38.819><c> heir,</c><00:03:39.699><c> as</c><00:03:39.860><c> long</c><00:03:40.139><c> as</c><00:03:40.219><c> he's</c><00:03:40.560><c> a</c><00:03:40.719><c> child,</c><00:03:41.840><c> doesn't</c><00:03:42.259><c> differ</c><00:03:42.620><c> at</c><00:03:42.780><c> all</c><00:03:42.860><c> from</c><00:03:43.039><c> a</c><00:03:43.240><c> slave.</c>

00:03:44.340 --> 00:03:48.460
Now,<00:03:44.439><c> you</c><00:03:44.639><c> imagine</c><00:03:44.979><c> that</c><00:03:45.180><c> when</c><00:03:45.300><c> you've</c><00:03:45.460><c> got</c><00:03:45.599><c> like</c><00:03:45.840><c> suppose</c><00:03:46.199><c> you</c><00:03:46.460><c> have</c><00:03:46.580><c> like</c><00:03:46.919><c> you</c><00:03:47.240><c> live</c><00:03:47.379><c> under</c><00:03:47.620><c> the</c><00:03:47.759><c> period</c><00:03:47.979><c> of</c><00:03:48.219><c> slavery</c>

the<00:05:49.000><c> law.</c>

00:05:49.579 --> 00:05:51.139
They<00:05:49.720><c> were</c><00:05:49.920><c> telling</c><00:05:50.139><c> us</c><00:05:50.399><c> like</c><00:05:50.600><c> what</c><00:05:50.720><c> to</c><00:05:50.920><c> do.</c>

00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:52.839
Don't<00:05:51.339><c> touch</c><00:05:51.639><c> this.</c><00:05:52.040><c> Don't</c><00:05:52.259><c> taste</c><00:05:52.519><c> that.</c>

00:05:53.060 --> 00:05:53.939
You<00:05:53.160><c> know,</c><00:05:53.279><c> don't</c><00:05:53.420><c> do</c><00:05:53.660><c> that.</c>

00:05:53.939 --> 00:05:55.560
You<00:05:54.079><c> have</c><00:05:54.300><c> to</c><00:05:54.379><c> do</c><00:05:54.579><c> this</c><00:05:54.779><c> on</c><00:05:54.959><c> this</c><00:05:55.240><c> day.</c>

00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.980
These<00:05:55.899><c> are</c><00:05:56.139><c> like</c><00:05:56.379><c> guidelines</c><00:05:56.879><c> that</c><00:05:57.240><c> helped</c><00:05:57.379><c> us</c><00:05:57.620><c> to</c><00:05:57.800><c> live,</c>

00:05:58.300 --> 00:05:58.600
Paul<00:05:58.300><c> says.</c>

00:05:58.899 --> 00:06:00.399
And<00:05:58.939><c> that's</c><00:05:59.240><c> basically</c><00:05:59.620><c> what</c><00:05:59.879><c> we</c><00:06:00.139><c> had.</c>

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.279
And<00:06:00.759><c> we</c><00:06:00.959><c> were</c><00:06:01.180><c> kept</c><00:06:01.360><c> this</c><00:06:01.699><c> way</c><00:06:01.939><c> until</c><00:06:02.899><c> Christ</c><00:06:03.560><c> came.</c>

00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.560
This<00:06:04.899><c> is</c><00:06:05.139><c> the</c><00:06:05.240><c> way</c><00:06:05.339><c> that</c><00:06:05.540><c> they</c><00:06:05.779><c> live.</c>

00:06:06.939 --> 00:06:10.180
But<00:06:07.040><c> when</c><00:06:07.480><c> the</c><00:06:07.779><c> fullness</c><00:06:08.160><c> of</c><00:06:08.439><c> the</c><00:06:08.740><c> time</c><00:06:08.980><c> had</c><00:06:09.319><c> come</c><00:06:09.600><c> in</c><00:06:09.879><c> verse</c>

00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:16.399
then<00:06:11.920><c> God</c><00:06:12.459><c> sent</c><00:06:12.980><c> forth</c><00:06:13.399><c> his</c><00:06:13.860><c> son,</c><00:06:14.759><c> born</c><00:06:14.899><c> of</c><00:06:15.100><c> a</c><00:06:15.259><c> woman,</c><00:06:16.199><c> born</c>

00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.079
You<00:06:17.899><c> see,</c><00:06:18.319><c> here's</c><00:06:18.839><c> the</c><00:06:19.160><c> time</c><00:06:19.519><c> appointed</c><00:06:20.100><c> by</c><00:06:20.420><c> the</c><00:06:20.600><c> father.</c>

00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:26.639
See,<00:06:22.939><c> the</c><00:06:22.939><c> law,</c><00:06:23.240><c> the</c><00:06:23.699><c> law</c><00:06:24.060><c> really</c><00:06:24.420><c> had</c><00:06:24.899><c> provided</c><00:06:25.420><c> these</c><00:06:25.779><c> constraints</c><00:06:26.379><c> for</c>

00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:35.259
But<00:06:31.480><c> what</c><00:06:31.699><c> the</c><00:06:31.920><c> law</c><00:06:32.100><c> was</c><00:06:32.379><c> supposed</c><00:06:32.839><c> to</c><00:06:33.079><c> do</c><00:06:33.220><c> for</c><00:06:33.439><c> those</c><00:06:33.680><c> children</c><00:06:34.060><c> is</c><00:06:34.439><c> raise</c><00:06:34.819><c> them</c><00:06:35.060><c> up</c>

when<00:06:38.899><c> they</c><00:06:39.079><c> would</c><00:06:39.279><c> mature,</c>

00:06:40.420 --> 00:06:44.199

00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.759
And<00:06:46.720><c> they</c><00:06:46.740><c> would</c><00:06:46.980><c> finally</c><00:06:47.240><c> then</c><00:06:47.620><c> graduate</c><00:06:48.100><c> in</c><00:06:48.379><c> a</c><00:06:48.519><c> sense,</c>

00:06:48.980 --> 00:06:51.639

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.160
We<00:08:29.519><c> bring</c><00:08:29.720><c> them</c><00:08:29.939><c> up</c><00:08:30.040><c> and</c><00:08:30.160><c> we</c><00:08:30.220><c> say,</c><00:08:30.459><c> don't</c><00:08:30.459><c> touch</c><00:08:30.699><c> the</c><00:08:30.959><c> stove.</c>

Don't<00:08:31.639><c> touch</c><00:08:31.860><c> that.</c><00:08:32.340><c> It's</c><00:08:32.580><c> hot.</c>

00:08:33.100 --> 00:08:35.559
And<00:08:33.279><c> the</c><00:08:33.340><c> poor</c><00:08:33.460><c> little</c><00:08:33.620><c> guy</c><00:08:33.820><c> is</c><00:08:33.960><c> only</c><00:08:34.159><c> two</c><00:08:34.340><c> years</c><00:08:34.600><c> old</c><00:08:34.740><c> and</c><00:08:34.840><c> he's</c><00:08:35.000><c> reaching</c><00:08:35.200><c> up</c><00:08:35.440><c> there</c>

00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.279

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.740
But<00:08:37.919><c> we</c><00:08:38.519><c> do</c><00:08:38.759><c> that</c><00:08:39.000><c> because</c><00:08:39.279><c> we</c><00:08:39.460><c> care</c><00:08:39.700><c> about</c><00:08:39.940><c> them</c><00:08:40.120><c> and</c><00:08:40.279><c> we</c><00:08:40.399><c> have</c>

00:08:53.019 --> 00:08:55.000
It's<00:08:53.320><c> a</c><00:08:53.440><c> rough</c><00:08:53.559><c> time</c><00:08:53.820><c> for</c><00:08:54.080><c> parents</c><00:08:54.320><c> to</c><00:08:54.519><c> let</c><00:08:54.759><c> go.</c>

00:09:04.580 --> 00:09:06.659
We<00:09:04.820><c> start</c><00:09:05.039><c> out</c><00:09:05.179><c> with</c><00:09:05.320><c> all</c><00:09:05.480><c> these</c><00:09:05.679><c> rules</c><00:09:05.960><c> and</c><00:09:06.259><c> guidelines.</c>

So<00:11:24.320><c> once</c><00:11:24.600><c> we</c><00:11:24.840><c> get</c><00:11:25.059><c> adopted</c><00:11:25.399><c> into</c><00:11:25.620><c> the</c><00:11:25.879><c> family,</c><00:11:26.279><c> then</c><00:11:26.399><c> look</c>

00:11:26.539 --> 00:11:27.539
what<00:11:26.740><c> Paul</c><00:11:27.080><c> says.</c>

00:11:27.539 --> 00:11:31.679
Now<00:11:28.019><c> what</c><00:11:28.200><c> he</c><00:11:28.519><c> does,</c><00:11:28.720><c> you</c><00:11:29.059><c> see,</c><00:11:29.820><c> instead</c><00:11:30.240><c> of</c><00:11:30.539><c> laying</c><00:11:30.720><c> out</c><00:11:31.059><c> a</c><00:11:31.200><c> bunch</c><00:11:31.360><c> of</c>

00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:32.740
rules<00:11:32.000><c> and</c><00:11:32.360><c> guidelines</c>

00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:35.820
like<00:11:33.120><c> don't</c><00:11:33.480><c> touch,</c><00:11:33.799><c> don't</c><00:11:34.179><c> taste,</c><00:11:34.460><c> don't</c><00:11:34.879><c> handle,</c><00:11:35.100><c> and</c><00:11:35.299><c> all</c><00:11:35.460><c> that,</c>

00:11:36.019 --> 00:11:39.259
what<00:11:36.159><c> he</c><00:11:36.379><c> does</c><00:11:36.580><c> instead</c><00:11:37.440><c> is</c><00:11:37.980><c> he,</c><00:11:38.240><c> in</c><00:11:38.379><c> verse</c><00:11:38.620><c> 6,</c><00:11:38.940><c> he</c><00:11:39.120><c> says,</c>

00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:43.659
because<00:11:39.820><c> you</c><00:11:40.179><c> are</c><00:11:40.580><c> sons,</c><00:11:41.500><c> God</c><00:11:41.860><c> has</c><00:11:42.240><c> sent</c><00:11:42.460><c> forth</c><00:11:42.740><c> the</c><00:11:43.279><c> spirit</c>

00:11:43.659 --> 00:11:47.000
of<00:11:43.919><c> his</c><00:11:44.279><c> son</c><00:11:44.460><c> into</c><00:11:44.720><c> your</c><00:11:44.980><c> hearts,</c><00:11:45.820><c> crying,</c>

00:11:47.059 --> 00:11:50.860
Abba,<00:11:47.580><c> Father,</c><00:11:48.860><c> where</c><00:11:49.080><c> did</c><00:11:49.320><c> he</c><00:11:49.440><c> pull</c><00:11:49.620><c> that</c><00:11:49.919><c> from?</c>

00:11:52.220 --> 00:11:53.879
That's<00:11:52.659><c> Jesus</c><00:11:53.000><c> in</c><00:11:53.200><c> the</c><00:11:53.399><c> garden.</c>

00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:58.000
Abba,<00:11:54.899><c> Father,</c><00:11:55.759><c> is</c><00:11:55.919><c> there</c><00:11:56.139><c> any</c><00:11:56.340><c> way</c><00:11:56.480><c> to</c><00:11:56.700><c> remove</c><00:11:57.000><c> this?</c>

00:11:58.600 --> 00:11:59.860
There<00:11:58.840><c> isn't.</c>

00:11:59.899 --> 00:12:02.700
But<00:12:00.080><c> see,</c><00:12:00.279><c> that's</c><00:12:00.659><c> the</c><00:12:01.039><c> spirit</c><00:12:01.299><c> of</c><00:12:01.519><c> his</c><00:12:01.860><c> son</c><00:12:02.059><c> now</c><00:12:02.320><c> that's</c><00:12:02.559><c> in</c>

00:12:02.700 --> 00:12:05.080
us,<00:12:03.240><c> of</c><00:12:03.480><c> Jesus</c><00:12:03.840><c> Christ</c><00:12:04.200><c> and</c><00:12:04.379><c> him</c><00:12:04.580><c> crucified.</c>

00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.440
We've<00:12:05.740><c> now</c><00:12:06.039><c> joined</c><00:12:06.399><c> the</c><00:12:06.659><c> family</c><00:12:06.919><c> of</c><00:12:07.179><c> God.</c>

00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.940
We<00:12:07.899><c> agree</c><00:12:08.320><c> that</c><00:12:08.519><c> the</c><00:12:08.799><c> Father</c><00:12:09.120><c> is</c><00:12:09.799><c> right</c><00:12:10.360><c> in</c><00:12:10.879><c> requiring</c><00:12:11.440><c> us</c><00:12:11.720><c> and</c>

00:12:11.940 --> 00:12:14.000
asking<00:12:12.299><c> us</c><00:12:12.580><c> to</c><00:12:12.820><c> join</c><00:12:13.080><c> his</c><00:12:13.500><c> son</c>

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.299
in<00:12:14.279><c> a</c><00:12:14.500><c> life</c><00:12:14.720><c> to</c><00:12:15.000><c> righteousness</c><00:12:15.480><c> and</c><00:12:16.080><c> death</c><00:12:16.500><c> to</c><00:12:16.700><c> the</c><00:12:16.779><c> old</c><00:12:16.940><c> man.</c>

00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:18.679
That's<00:12:17.720><c> what</c><00:12:17.840><c> we</c><00:12:18.059><c> really</c><00:12:18.340><c> want.</c>

00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.659
He<00:12:19.179><c> sent</c><00:12:19.539><c> forth</c><00:12:19.700><c> that</c><00:12:20.039><c> spirit</c><00:12:20.360><c> into</c><00:12:20.779><c> our</c><00:12:21.019><c> hearts,</c><00:12:21.340><c> crying,</c>

00:12:21.700 --> 00:12:22.519
Abba,<00:12:22.120><c> Father,</c>

00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.659
so<00:12:22.879><c> we're</c><00:12:23.279><c> no</c><00:12:23.539><c> longer</c><00:12:24.039><c> slaves.</c>

00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:27.460
We're<00:12:25.159><c> not</c><00:12:25.379><c> living</c><00:12:25.580><c> under</c><00:12:25.840><c> all</c><00:12:26.059><c> these</c><00:12:26.340><c> first</c><00:12:26.679><c> principles</c><00:12:27.120><c> of</c>

00:12:27.460 --> 00:12:28.980
don't<00:12:27.840><c> do</c><00:12:28.100><c> this,</c><00:12:28.279><c> don't</c><00:12:28.539><c> do</c><00:12:28.779><c> that,</c>

00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:31.320
don't<00:12:29.240><c> do</c><00:12:29.419><c> that,</c><00:12:29.740><c> as</c><00:12:30.039><c> the</c><00:12:30.240><c> Jewish</c><00:12:30.519><c> law</c><00:12:30.799><c> would</c><00:12:31.039><c> say.</c>

00:12:31.779 --> 00:12:35.779
Instead,<00:12:32.659><c> you</c><00:12:32.659><c> see,</c><00:12:33.279><c> if</c><00:12:33.519><c> we're</c><00:12:33.840><c> a</c><00:12:33.980><c> son,</c><00:12:34.179><c> in</c><00:12:34.379><c> verse</c><00:12:34.559><c> 7,</c><00:12:35.259><c> then</c><00:12:35.539><c> we</c>

00:12:35.779 --> 00:12:38.399
are<00:12:36.100><c> an</c><00:12:36.299><c> heir</c><00:12:36.539><c> of</c><00:12:36.820><c> God</c><00:12:37.179><c> through</c><00:12:37.519><c> Jesus</c><00:12:37.919><c> Christ.</c>

00:12:38.860 --> 00:12:41.139
And<00:12:39.080><c> it</c><00:12:39.299><c> really</c><00:12:39.620><c> is.</c><00:12:39.940><c> It's</c><00:12:40.039><c> a</c><00:12:40.220><c> difference</c><00:12:40.480><c> in</c><00:12:40.799><c> attitude.</c>

00:12:41.299 --> 00:12:42.960
It's<00:12:41.519><c> a</c><00:12:41.659><c> whole</c><00:12:41.860><c> difference</c><00:12:42.179><c> in</c><00:12:42.419><c> perspective.</c>

00:12:43.379 --> 00:12:46.940
And<00:12:43.600><c> what</c><00:12:43.840><c> we</c><00:12:44.080><c> do</c><00:12:44.299><c> as</c><00:12:44.620><c> a</c><00:12:44.779><c> community</c><00:12:45.240><c> now,</c><00:12:45.860><c> we</c><00:12:46.080><c> don't</c><00:12:46.440><c> do</c><00:12:46.639><c> things</c>

00:12:46.940 --> 00:12:49.799
because<00:12:47.340><c> the</c><00:12:47.580><c> Bible</c><00:12:47.860><c> just</c><00:12:48.200><c> said</c><00:12:48.320><c> you</c><00:12:48.600><c> have</c><00:12:48.980><c> to</c><00:12:49.279><c> do</c><00:12:49.480><c> them.</c>

00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:54.480
We<00:12:50.299><c> do</c><00:12:50.620><c> them</c><00:12:50.840><c> because</c><00:12:51.279><c> we</c><00:12:51.639><c> love</c><00:12:51.899><c> our</c><00:12:52.139><c> Father</c><00:12:52.480><c> and</c><00:12:52.759><c> we</c><00:12:53.039><c> love</c><00:12:53.240><c> those</c><00:12:53.519><c> things</c><00:12:53.759><c> as</c><00:12:54.019><c> well.</c>

00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:55.700
See,<00:12:54.860><c> that's</c><00:12:55.200><c> the</c><00:12:55.379><c> difference.</c>

00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:57.919
It's<00:12:56.200><c> like</c><00:12:56.340><c> when</c><00:12:56.519><c> Brother</c><00:12:56.720><c> Anthony</c><00:12:57.039><c> was</c><00:12:57.259><c> talking</c><00:12:57.559><c> in</c><00:12:57.720><c> this</c>

00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:00.919
class<00:12:58.139><c> about</c><00:12:58.700><c> God's</c><00:12:59.440><c> money,</c><00:13:00.259><c> God's</c><00:13:00.679><c> money.</c>

00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.539
We<00:13:01.360><c> don't</c><00:13:01.559><c> just</c><00:13:01.860><c> give</c><00:13:02.059><c> the</c><00:13:02.259><c> money</c><00:13:02.460><c> because</c><00:13:02.759><c> the</c><00:13:02.960><c> Bible</c><00:13:03.159><c> says</c><00:13:03.480><c> we</c><00:13:03.759><c> have</c><00:13:04.019><c> to</c><00:13:04.159><c> give</c><00:13:04.279><c> this</c><00:13:04.519><c> money</c><00:13:04.779><c> and</c><00:13:04.919><c> it's</c><00:13:05.159><c> a</c><00:13:05.320><c> tithe</c>

00:13:05.539 --> 00:13:09.320
and<00:13:05.720><c> we</c><00:13:06.059><c> follow</c><00:13:06.299><c> 10</c><00:13:06.740><c>%</c><00:13:06.899><c> and</c><00:13:07.019><c> we</c><00:13:07.179><c> give</c><00:13:07.279><c> our</c><00:13:07.440><c> 10</c><00:13:07.720><c>%</c><00:13:07.879><c> and</c><00:13:08.039><c> we</c><00:13:08.179><c> walk</c><00:13:08.340><c> away</c><00:13:08.639><c> grudgingly</c><00:13:09.159><c> and</c><00:13:09.220><c> say,</c>

00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.360
oh,<00:13:09.779><c> I</c><00:13:09.879><c> didn't</c><00:13:10.100><c> want</c><00:13:10.220><c> to</c><00:13:10.340><c> give</c><00:13:10.440><c> that</c><00:13:10.600><c> money,</c><00:13:10.820><c> but</c><00:13:10.960><c> I</c><00:13:11.139><c> had</c><00:13:11.259><c> to</c>

00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:12.500
because<00:13:11.519><c> the</c><00:13:11.700><c> Bible</c><00:13:11.860><c> said</c><00:13:12.080><c> so.</c>

00:13:12.820 --> 00:13:14.500
We<00:13:13.019><c> do</c><00:13:13.220><c> it</c><00:13:13.379><c> because</c><00:13:13.620><c> we</c><00:13:13.860><c> love</c><00:13:13.960><c> the</c><00:13:14.179><c> people.</c>

00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:16.919
We<00:13:14.820><c> love</c><00:13:14.960><c> the</c><00:13:15.179><c> Bible</c><00:13:15.460><c> school</c><00:13:15.860><c> tonight.</c>

00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:18.879
And<00:13:17.200><c> it's</c><00:13:17.399><c> our</c><00:13:17.539><c> opportunity</c><00:13:18.039><c> to</c><00:13:18.299><c> give</c><00:13:18.580><c> back.</c>

00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:20.480
That's<00:13:19.460><c> why</c><00:13:19.639><c> we</c><00:13:19.860><c> do</c><00:13:20.059><c> it.</c>

00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.559
Not<00:13:20.700><c> because</c><00:13:21.080><c> somebody</c><00:13:21.379><c> said</c><00:13:21.600><c> we</c><00:13:21.960><c> had</c><00:13:22.320><c> to</c><00:13:22.559><c> do</c><00:13:22.759><c> it,</c><00:13:23.519><c> but</c><00:13:23.600><c> because</c><00:13:23.960><c> we</c><00:13:24.200><c> love</c><00:13:24.360><c> it.</c>

00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.820
And<00:13:25.059><c> this</c><00:13:25.220><c> is</c><00:13:25.460><c> where</c><00:13:25.639><c> our</c><00:13:25.980><c> goals</c><00:13:26.399><c> and</c><00:13:26.600><c> our</c><00:13:26.899><c> interests</c><00:13:27.139><c> and</c><00:13:27.419><c> this</c><00:13:27.620><c> is</c>

00:13:27.820 --> 00:13:28.779
where<00:13:27.960><c> our</c><00:13:28.139><c> commitment</c><00:13:28.440><c> is.</c>

00:13:29.019 --> 00:13:31.220
And<00:13:29.279><c> so</c><00:13:29.419><c> we</c><00:13:29.799><c> share</c><00:13:29.980><c> with</c><00:13:30.259><c> all</c><00:13:30.460><c> those</c><00:13:30.600><c> other</c><00:13:30.799><c> people.</c>

00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:33.440
That's<00:13:31.940><c> what</c><00:13:32.320><c> Paul</c><00:13:32.740><c> is</c><00:13:33.080><c> after.</c>

00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:36.299
He's<00:13:33.960><c> after</c><00:13:34.240><c> something</c><00:13:34.559><c> that</c><00:13:34.820><c> just</c><00:13:35.159><c> takes</c><00:13:35.440><c> over</c><00:13:35.740><c> your</c><00:13:36.039><c> life,</c>

00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:38.440
not<00:13:36.840><c> just</c><00:13:37.039><c> something</c><00:13:37.299><c> that</c><00:13:37.559><c> puts</c><00:13:37.679><c> you</c><00:13:37.879><c> into</c><00:13:38.059><c> a</c><00:13:38.279><c> box</c>

00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:40.519
and<00:13:38.659><c> says,</c><00:13:38.919><c> well,</c><00:13:38.919><c> you</c><00:13:39.000><c> have</c><00:13:39.200><c> to</c><00:13:39.340><c> live</c><00:13:39.440><c> like</c><00:13:39.679><c> this,</c><00:13:39.919><c> this,</c><00:13:40.179><c> this.</c>

00:13:40.779 --> 00:13:43.259
And<00:13:41.019><c> it's</c><00:13:41.320><c> a</c><00:13:41.519><c> much</c><00:13:41.700><c> more</c><00:13:42.139><c> powerful</c><00:13:42.639><c> mechanism.</c>

00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:47.000
See,<00:13:43.779><c> it's</c><00:13:44.100><c> a</c><00:13:44.379><c> faith</c><00:13:44.639><c> that's</c><00:13:45.519><c> energized,</c><00:13:46.419><c> as</c><00:13:46.519><c> he's</c><00:13:46.740><c> going</c><00:13:46.799><c> to</c>

00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:47.899
say,<00:13:47.419><c> by</c><00:13:47.539><c> love.</c>

00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:49.279
That's<00:13:48.519><c> what</c><00:13:48.659><c> drives</c><00:13:48.940><c> it.</c>

00:13:49.539 --> 00:13:51.059
It's<00:13:49.679><c> not</c><00:13:49.860><c> energized</c><00:13:50.279><c> by</c><00:13:50.559><c> rules.</c>

00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:53.000
It's<00:13:51.779><c> energized</c><00:13:52.220><c> by</c><00:13:52.580><c> love.</c>

00:13:53.299 --> 00:13:55.519
And<00:13:53.440><c> it</c><00:13:53.580><c> makes</c><00:13:53.840><c> such</c><00:13:54.120><c> a</c><00:13:54.259><c> different</c><00:13:54.440><c> perspective</c><00:13:55.000><c> as</c><00:13:55.299><c> to</c><00:13:55.379><c> how</c>

00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.679
we<00:13:55.679><c> do</c><00:13:55.840><c> things</c><00:13:56.200><c> and</c><00:13:56.639><c> the</c><00:13:56.860><c> attitude</c><00:13:57.279><c> by</c><00:13:57.539><c> which</c><00:13:57.700><c> we</c><00:13:57.899><c> do</c><00:13:58.039><c> it.</c>

00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.460
So<00:13:59.200><c> in</c><00:13:59.539><c> what</c><00:13:59.740><c> he</c><00:13:59.899><c> does,</c><00:14:00.159><c> then</c><00:14:00.299><c> he</c><00:14:00.340><c> moves</c><00:14:00.539><c> on</c><00:14:00.799><c> there</c><00:14:01.000><c> in</c><00:14:01.139><c> verse</c>

00:14:01.460 --> 00:14:03.460
in<00:14:02.539><c> verse</c><00:14:03.039><c> eight.</c>

00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:05.179
You<00:14:03.659><c> know,</c><00:14:03.759><c> and</c><00:14:03.879><c> he's</c><00:14:04.059><c> going</c><00:14:04.139><c> to</c><00:14:04.259><c> look</c><00:14:04.379><c> at</c><00:14:04.519><c> this</c><00:14:04.700><c> issue</c><00:14:04.960><c> about</c>

00:14:05.179 --> 00:14:07.860
why<00:14:05.460><c> we</c><00:14:05.600><c> don't</c><00:14:05.759><c> want</c><00:14:05.919><c> to</c><00:14:06.159><c> turn</c><00:14:06.360><c> back</c><00:14:06.720><c> to</c><00:14:07.039><c> slavery.</c>

00:14:07.940 --> 00:14:09.419
So<00:14:08.019><c> he's</c><00:14:08.299><c> afraid</c><00:14:08.580><c> for</c><00:14:08.799><c> them,</c><00:14:08.919><c> you</c><00:14:09.139><c> see.</c>

00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:12.320
But<00:14:09.960><c> in</c><00:14:10.120><c> verse</c><00:14:10.320><c> eight</c><00:14:10.500><c> there,</c><00:14:10.799><c> but</c><00:14:10.919><c> then</c><00:14:11.279><c> indeed,</c><00:14:11.740><c> when</c><00:14:12.000><c> you</c>

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:13.519
did<00:14:12.600><c> not</c><00:14:12.820><c> know</c><00:14:13.059><c> God,</c>

00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:17.279

00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:20.820
Now,<00:14:18.240><c> it</c><00:14:18.460><c> may</c><00:14:18.659><c> be</c><00:14:18.960><c> possible</c><00:14:19.360><c> that</c><00:14:19.639><c> the</c><00:14:19.820><c> apostle</c><00:14:20.139><c> Paul</c><00:14:20.440><c> here</c><00:14:20.659><c> in</c>

We've<00:19:25.720><c> had</c><00:19:25.819><c> a</c><00:19:25.900><c> couple</c><00:19:26.079><c> of</c><00:19:26.240><c> kids</c><00:19:26.359><c> that</c><00:19:26.559><c> had</c><00:19:26.799><c> spiking</c><00:19:27.160><c> fevers</c>

00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:33.960
they<00:19:31.539><c> would</c><00:19:31.680><c> go</c><00:19:31.839><c> into</c><00:19:32.079><c> seizures,</c><00:19:32.640><c> and</c><00:19:32.660><c> most</c><00:19:33.480><c> of</c><00:19:33.680><c> our</c><00:19:33.819><c> kids</c>

00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.140
And<00:19:41.960><c> so</c><00:19:42.319><c> it</c><00:19:42.720><c> may</c><00:19:43.160><c> be</c><00:19:43.500><c> that</c><00:19:43.660><c> the</c><00:19:43.880><c> Apostle</c><00:19:44.299><c> Paul</c><00:19:44.579><c> had</c><00:19:44.819><c> to</c><00:19:45.039><c> live</c>

00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:49.099
This<00:19:46.119><c> is</c><00:19:46.400><c> the</c><00:19:46.579><c> thing</c><00:19:46.680><c> that</c><00:19:46.900><c> he</c><00:19:47.079><c> besought</c><00:19:47.380><c> the</c><00:19:47.619><c> Lord</c><00:19:47.799><c> three</c><00:19:48.299><c> times</c><00:19:48.859><c> in</c>

00:19:50.660 --> 00:19:54.480

00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.599
And<00:19:55.000><c> God</c><00:19:55.220><c> said,</c><00:19:55.519><c> my</c><00:19:55.740><c> grace</c><00:19:56.220><c> is</c><00:19:56.599><c> sufficient</c><00:19:56.920><c> for</c><00:19:57.180><c> you</c>

00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:01.440
because<00:19:58.240><c> his</c><00:19:58.700><c> strength</c><00:19:58.920><c> was</c><00:19:59.180><c> made</c><00:19:59.420><c> perfect</c><00:20:00.000><c> in</c><00:20:00.559><c> weakness.</c>

00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:04.119
And<00:20:01.779><c> so</c><00:20:01.980><c> he</c><00:20:02.119><c> would</c><00:20:02.299><c> take</c><00:20:02.539><c> a</c><00:20:02.720><c> man</c><00:20:02.819><c> like</c><00:20:03.059><c> the</c><00:20:03.220><c> Apostle</c><00:20:03.559><c> Paul</c>

look,<00:20:48.740><c> you</c><00:20:49.119><c> didn't</c><00:20:49.460><c> despise</c><00:20:50.079><c> and</c><00:20:50.319><c> reject</c><00:20:50.640><c> me</c><00:20:50.920><c> like</c><00:20:51.180><c> those</c><00:20:51.539><c> Jews</c><00:20:51.759><c> did</c>

00:20:51.980 --> 00:20:52.839
of<00:20:52.140><c> Jesus</c><00:20:52.480><c> Christ.</c>

00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.579
You<00:20:53.480><c> accepted</c><00:20:54.039><c> my</c><00:20:54.380><c> condition</c><00:20:54.859><c> at</c><00:20:55.099><c> the</c><00:20:55.279><c> first.</c>

00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:58.779
In<00:20:56.140><c> fact,</c><00:20:56.319><c> you</c><00:20:56.660><c> received</c><00:20:57.039><c> me</c><00:20:57.339><c> like</c><00:20:57.660><c> an</c><00:20:57.920><c> angel</c><00:20:58.119><c> of</c><00:20:58.400><c> God.</c>

00:20:59.000 --> 00:20:59.480
Look<00:20:59.140><c> at</c><00:20:59.319><c> that.</c>

00:20:59.539 --> 00:21:02.960
You<00:20:59.700><c> received</c><00:21:00.019><c> me</c><00:21:00.259><c> as</c><00:21:00.400><c> even</c><00:21:00.559><c> like</c><00:21:00.920><c> Christ</c><00:21:01.319><c> Jesus</c><00:21:01.779><c> himself.</c>

00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:05.619
That's<00:21:03.599><c> the</c><00:21:03.799><c> way</c><00:21:04.099><c> you</c><00:21:04.519><c> used</c><00:21:04.839><c> to</c><00:21:05.059><c> think</c><00:21:05.200><c> of</c><00:21:05.400><c> me.</c>

00:21:05.900 --> 00:21:07.539
Even<00:21:06.220><c> though</c><00:21:06.480><c> you</c><00:21:06.640><c> knew</c><00:21:06.779><c> about</c><00:21:06.980><c> my</c><00:21:07.220><c> illness,</c>

00:21:07.539 --> 00:21:09.940
even<00:21:08.079><c> though</c><00:21:08.299><c> you</c><00:21:08.460><c> knew</c><00:21:08.579><c> about</c><00:21:08.759><c> the</c><00:21:09.000><c> whole</c><00:21:09.240><c> situation,</c>

00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:13.319
when<00:21:10.380><c> I</c><00:21:10.680><c> came</c><00:21:11.000><c> to</c><00:21:11.220><c> you,</c><00:21:11.420><c> this</c><00:21:11.700><c> is</c><00:21:11.980><c> the</c><00:21:12.079><c> way</c><00:21:12.200><c> you</c><00:21:12.420><c> responded</c><00:21:12.819><c> at</c><00:21:13.099><c> first.</c>

00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:17.299
So<00:21:13.819><c> he</c><00:21:14.000><c> reminds</c><00:21:14.480><c> them</c><00:21:14.720><c> about,</c><00:21:15.059><c> look,</c><00:21:15.319><c> this</c><00:21:15.619><c> is</c><00:21:15.940><c> the</c><00:21:16.059><c> way</c><00:21:16.319><c> it</c><00:21:16.559><c> used</c><00:21:16.819><c> to</c><00:21:17.000><c> be.</c>

00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:20.980
And<00:21:17.779><c> he's</c><00:21:18.000><c> setting</c><00:21:18.240><c> all</c><00:21:18.539><c> this</c><00:21:18.759><c> up</c><00:21:19.039><c> to</c><00:21:19.420><c> answer</c><00:21:19.799><c> the</c><00:21:20.119><c> detractors,</c><00:21:20.619><c> you</c><00:21:20.799><c> see,</c>

00:21:21.099 --> 00:21:22.859
that<00:21:21.220><c> would</c><00:21:21.339><c> be</c><00:21:21.500><c> throwing</c><00:21:21.900><c> stuff</c><00:21:22.160><c> at</c><00:21:22.319><c> them</c><00:21:22.500><c> and</c><00:21:22.700><c> saying,</c>

00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:25.019
look,<00:21:23.200><c> you</c><00:21:23.359><c> can't</c><00:21:23.779><c> possibly</c><00:21:24.220><c> believe</c><00:21:24.480><c> Paul's</c><00:21:24.900><c> right.</c>

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:26.640
Look<00:21:25.359><c> at</c><00:21:25.500><c> the</c><00:21:25.660><c> man</c><00:21:25.880><c> when</c><00:21:26.000><c> he</c><00:21:26.140><c> was</c><00:21:26.259><c> around</c><00:21:26.500><c> you.</c>

00:21:26.660 --> 00:21:28.799
He<00:21:26.799><c> probably</c><00:21:27.019><c> falls</c><00:21:27.299><c> on</c><00:21:27.480><c> the</c><00:21:27.680><c> ground</c><00:21:27.900><c> into</c><00:21:28.140><c> epileptic</c><00:21:28.539><c> fits.</c>

00:21:28.940 --> 00:21:30.140
The<00:21:29.019><c> man's</c><00:21:29.299><c> like</c><00:21:29.480><c> demon</c><00:21:29.660><c> possessed.</c>

00:21:30.380 --> 00:21:32.900
How<00:21:30.539><c> can</c><00:21:30.680><c> he</c><00:21:30.960><c> possibly</c><00:21:31.359><c> be</c><00:21:31.640><c> a</c><00:21:31.740><c> real</c><00:21:32.480><c> apostle?</c>

00:21:32.980 --> 00:21:35.579
If<00:21:33.160><c> he</c><00:21:33.359><c> really</c><00:21:33.759><c> was,</c><00:21:34.279><c> he'd</c><00:21:34.559><c> heal</c><00:21:34.660><c> himself,</c><00:21:35.119><c> you</c><00:21:35.400><c> see.</c>

00:21:35.579 --> 00:21:37.220
He<00:21:35.900><c> can't</c><00:21:36.299><c> really</c><00:21:36.539><c> be</c><00:21:36.700><c> an</c><00:21:36.819><c> apostle.</c>

00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:39.519
And<00:21:37.819><c> so</c><00:21:37.940><c> he</c><00:21:38.099><c> has</c><00:21:38.319><c> to</c><00:21:38.480><c> answer</c><00:21:38.799><c> all</c><00:21:39.059><c> these</c><00:21:39.259><c> things.</c>

00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:40.759
It's<00:21:39.799><c> still</c><00:21:40.000><c> part</c><00:21:40.180><c> of</c><00:21:40.380><c> the</c><00:21:40.440><c> defense.</c>

00:21:40.980 --> 00:21:43.359
And<00:21:41.059><c> remind</c><00:21:41.380><c> them</c><00:21:41.500><c> that,</c><00:21:41.900><c> look,</c><00:21:42.140><c> this</c><00:21:42.339><c> is</c><00:21:42.559><c> the</c><00:21:42.660><c> way</c><00:21:42.799><c> you</c><00:21:43.059><c> used</c>

00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:43.779
to<00:21:43.579><c> think.</c>

00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:46.019
See,<00:21:44.460><c> it's</c><00:21:44.680><c> not</c><00:21:44.960><c> me</c><00:21:45.299><c> that's</c><00:21:45.680><c> changed.</c>

00:21:46.140 --> 00:21:47.400
It's<00:21:46.460><c> you.</c>

00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:50.440
So<00:21:47.680><c> then,</c><00:21:48.400><c> what</c><00:21:48.660><c> then</c><00:21:48.900><c> was</c><00:21:49.119><c> the</c><00:21:49.359><c> blessing</c><00:21:49.680><c> you</c><00:21:50.079><c> enjoyed?</c>

00:21:50.660 --> 00:21:52.339
So<00:21:50.960><c> what</c><00:21:51.180><c> was</c><00:21:51.420><c> it</c><00:21:51.579><c> like</c><00:21:51.740><c> back</c><00:21:52.059><c> then?</c>

00:21:52.500 --> 00:21:55.079
Back<00:21:52.779><c> in</c><00:21:52.980><c> those</c><00:21:53.220><c> conditions</c><00:21:53.680><c> when</c><00:21:53.900><c> I</c><00:21:54.160><c> first</c><00:21:54.400><c> came</c><00:21:54.660><c> to</c><00:21:54.819><c> you,</c>

00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:56.359
all<00:21:55.539><c> this</c><00:21:55.779><c> had</c><00:21:56.039><c> happened.</c>

00:21:56.660 --> 00:21:57.720
What<00:21:56.940><c> happened</c><00:21:57.259><c> back</c><00:21:57.559><c> then?</c>

00:21:57.720 --> 00:21:59.480
What<00:21:57.900><c> was</c><00:21:58.079><c> it</c><00:21:58.339><c> really</c><00:21:58.599><c> like?</c>

00:21:59.500 --> 00:22:01.700
For<00:21:59.599><c> I</c><00:21:59.880><c> bear</c><00:22:00.000><c> you</c><00:22:00.279><c> witness</c><00:22:00.640><c> that</c><00:22:00.859><c> if</c><00:22:01.180><c> possible,</c>

00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:04.680
you<00:22:02.000><c> would</c><00:22:02.200><c> have</c><00:22:02.559><c> plucked</c><00:22:02.920><c> out</c><00:22:03.059><c> your</c><00:22:03.279><c> own</c><00:22:03.480><c> eyes</c><00:22:03.779><c> and</c><00:22:04.000><c> given</c><00:22:04.119><c> them</c><00:22:04.319><c> to</c><00:22:04.460><c> me.</c>

00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:06.839
That's<00:22:05.220><c> the</c><00:22:05.579><c> commitment</c><00:22:06.019><c> that</c><00:22:06.240><c> they</c><00:22:06.339><c> would</c><00:22:06.460><c> have</c><00:22:06.660><c> had.</c>

00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:09.480
They<00:22:06.980><c> were</c><00:22:07.299><c> so</c><00:22:07.960><c> dedicated</c><00:22:08.720><c> at</c><00:22:08.960><c> that</c><00:22:09.220><c> point</c>

00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:11.640
that<00:22:09.779><c> they</c><00:22:09.940><c> would</c><00:22:10.079><c> have</c><00:22:10.240><c> even</c><00:22:10.500><c> given</c><00:22:10.700><c> their</c><00:22:11.000><c> eyes</c><00:22:11.200><c> to</c><00:22:11.500><c> Paul</c>

00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:12.940
if<00:22:11.859><c> that</c><00:22:12.460><c> would</c><00:22:12.579><c> have</c><00:22:12.759><c> helped.</c>

00:22:13.380 --> 00:22:17.019
I<00:22:13.599><c> really</c><00:22:13.900><c> think</c><00:22:14.059><c> in</c><00:22:14.200><c> this</c><00:22:14.400><c> sense,</c><00:22:14.720><c> he's</c><00:22:14.740><c> using</c><00:22:15.000><c> it</c><00:22:15.220><c> like</c><00:22:15.960><c> an</c><00:22:16.559><c> allusion</c>

00:22:17.019 --> 00:22:19.099
to<00:22:17.240><c> the</c><00:22:17.359><c> idea,</c><00:22:17.700><c> to</c><00:22:17.880><c> the</c><00:22:18.059><c> commitment</c><00:22:18.359><c> that</c><00:22:18.500><c> they</c><00:22:18.599><c> would</c><00:22:18.839><c> have.</c>

00:22:19.339 --> 00:22:21.599
Not<00:22:19.559><c> so</c><00:22:19.799><c> much</c><00:22:19.940><c> that</c><00:22:20.119><c> his</c><00:22:20.299><c> eyes</c><00:22:20.539><c> were</c><00:22:20.819><c> actually</c><00:22:21.079><c> the</c><00:22:21.279><c> problem,</c>

00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:24.019
but<00:22:22.099><c> you</c><00:22:22.359><c> can</c><00:22:22.940><c> look</c><00:22:23.180><c> that</c><00:22:23.339><c> one</c><00:22:23.440><c> up</c><00:22:23.599><c> on</c><00:22:23.720><c> your</c><00:22:23.900><c> own</c>

00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:26.059
and<00:22:24.200><c> see</c><00:22:24.279><c> what</c><00:22:24.480><c> conclusion</c><00:22:24.880><c> you</c><00:22:25.079><c> come</c><00:22:25.319><c> to.</c>

00:22:26.420 --> 00:22:29.539
So,<00:22:26.619><c> verse</c><00:22:26.759><c> 16,</c><00:22:27.480><c> have</c><00:22:27.660><c> I</c><00:22:28.059><c> therefore</c><00:22:28.599><c> become</c><00:22:29.019><c> your</c><00:22:29.279><c> enemy</c>

00:22:29.539 --> 00:22:30.799
because<00:22:29.839><c> I</c><00:22:30.119><c> tell</c><00:22:30.240><c> you</c><00:22:30.380><c> the</c><00:22:30.559><c> truth?</c>

00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:32.220
So<00:22:31.440><c> what</c><00:22:31.500><c> are</c><00:22:31.539><c> you</c><00:22:31.619><c> going</c><00:22:31.700><c> to</c><00:22:31.799><c> do</c><00:22:31.940><c> now?</c>

00:22:32.220 --> 00:22:34.460
Because<00:22:32.380><c> I</c><00:22:32.660><c> level</c><00:22:32.880><c> with</c><00:22:33.180><c> you</c><00:22:33.579><c> and</c><00:22:33.779><c> tell</c><00:22:33.980><c> you,</c>

00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:36.259

00:22:48.740 --> 00:22:50.099
That's<00:22:49.180><c> not</c><00:22:49.259><c> what</c><00:22:49.420><c> you</c><00:22:49.619><c> ought</c><00:22:49.720><c> to</c><00:22:49.859><c> do.</c>

00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:59.259
because<00:24:57.519><c> what</c><00:24:57.819><c> would</c><00:24:58.000><c> happen</c><00:24:58.299><c> is</c><00:24:58.480><c> when</c><00:24:58.599><c> the</c><00:24:58.759><c> Apostle</c><00:24:59.119><c> Paul</c>

00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.920

But<00:25:05.500><c> as</c><00:25:05.680><c> soon</c><00:25:05.779><c> as</c><00:25:05.839><c> he</c><00:25:05.960><c> would</c><00:25:06.180><c> pull</c><00:25:06.460><c> away,</c>

00:25:07.339 --> 00:25:08.700

the<00:25:08.980><c> Judaizers</c><00:25:09.440><c> would</c><00:25:09.660><c> have</c><00:25:09.779><c> their</c><00:25:09.960><c> impact,</c><00:25:10.480><c> then</c><00:25:10.660><c> away</c><00:25:10.839><c> they</c><00:25:11.079><c> go.</c>

00:25:11.700 --> 00:25:12.799
And<00:25:11.880><c> you</c><00:25:12.099><c> can</c><00:25:12.380><c> see</c><00:25:12.579><c> that.</c>

00:25:24.980 --> 00:25:26.839
Why<00:25:25.240><c> would</c><00:25:25.420><c> you</c><00:25:25.619><c> want</c><00:25:25.819><c> to</c><00:25:26.099><c> go</c><00:25:26.220><c> to</c><00:25:26.380><c> that</c><00:25:26.619><c> side?</c>

00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:38.059
It's<00:25:36.460><c> more</c><00:25:36.720><c> a</c><00:25:36.799><c> case</c><00:25:37.000><c> of</c><00:25:37.160><c> where</c><00:25:37.240><c> they</c><00:25:37.480><c> care</c><00:25:37.660><c> about</c>

00:25:48.660 --> 00:25:50.700
That's<00:25:48.940><c> really</c><00:25:49.220><c> not</c><00:25:49.380><c> what</c><00:25:49.500><c> it's</c><00:25:49.680><c> all</c><00:25:49.880><c> about.</c>

00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:02.639
Now,<00:38:01.000><c> if</c><00:38:01.139><c> you</c><00:38:01.239><c> never</c><00:38:01.440><c> read</c><00:38:01.639><c> this</c><00:38:01.880><c> in</c><00:38:02.039><c> Romans</c><00:38:02.260><c> 9,</c>

Alright,<00:38:05.019><c> here's</c><00:38:05.219><c> what</c><00:38:05.400><c> he</c><00:38:05.480><c> does.</c>

00:38:06.300 --> 00:38:08.840
So<00:38:06.780><c> he</c><00:38:07.019><c> says,</c><00:38:07.539><c> look,</c><00:38:07.659><c> we</c><00:38:07.719><c> know</c><00:38:07.960><c> Ishmael</c><00:38:08.320><c> isn't</c><00:38:08.519><c> there,</c>

00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:10.820
and<00:38:09.039><c> we</c><00:38:09.139><c> know</c><00:38:09.400><c> that</c><00:38:09.619><c> Isaac</c><00:38:09.940><c> is</c><00:38:10.219><c> the</c><00:38:10.380><c> one</c><00:38:10.480><c> that</c><00:38:10.619><c> was</c>

00:38:10.820 --> 00:38:12.840
chosen.<00:38:11.219><c> So</c><00:38:11.420><c> God</c><00:38:11.679><c> went</c><00:38:11.900><c> down</c><00:38:12.300><c> one</c><00:38:12.539><c> line.</c>

00:38:12.900 --> 00:38:14.760
Now,<00:38:13.280><c> was</c><00:38:13.539><c> it</c><00:38:13.780><c> because</c><00:38:14.159><c> of</c><00:38:14.340><c> the</c><00:38:14.519><c> difference</c>

00:38:17.260 --> 00:38:18.739
So,<00:38:17.739><c> you</c><00:38:17.880><c> watch</c><00:38:18.019><c> what</c><00:38:18.159><c> he</c><00:38:18.320><c> says</c><00:38:18.480><c> here,</c>

alright?<00:38:19.300><c> Verse</c><00:38:19.539><c> 10.</c>

00:38:20.300 --> 00:38:22.559
And<00:38:20.380><c> not</c><00:38:20.760><c> only</c><00:38:21.239><c> this,</c><00:38:21.880><c> you</c><00:38:22.159><c> see,</c>

00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:52.800
I<00:38:51.000><c> mean,</c><00:38:51.260><c> Paul</c><00:38:51.579><c> is</c><00:38:51.820><c> just</c><00:38:52.099><c> wonderful</c><00:38:52.500><c> in</c><00:38:52.639><c> how</c>

00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:54.960
we<00:38:52.940><c> understood</c><00:38:53.440><c> Genesis.</c><00:38:54.460><c> And</c><00:38:54.659><c> God</c>

00:38:56.539 --> 00:38:58.900
so<00:38:57.000><c> the</c><00:38:57.300><c> issue</c><00:38:57.619><c> would</c><00:38:57.920><c> be</c><00:38:58.260><c> perfectly</c>

00:38:58.900 --> 00:39:00.920
clear<00:38:59.639><c> that</c><00:39:00.199><c> it</c><00:39:00.300><c> was</c><00:39:00.639><c> nothing</c>

00:39:02.820 --> 00:39:05.260
God's<00:39:03.460><c> election</c><00:39:03.860><c> is</c><00:39:04.239><c> by</c><00:39:04.579><c> His</c>

00:39:06.739 --> 00:39:08.860
He<00:39:07.199><c> wants</c><00:39:07.619><c> to</c><00:39:07.980><c> extend</c><00:39:08.280><c> grace</c><00:39:08.579><c> to</c>

00:39:11.099 --> 00:39:13.219
It<00:39:11.219><c> is</c><00:39:11.519><c> not</c><00:39:11.760><c> by</c><00:39:11.940><c> what</c><00:39:12.099><c> we</c><00:39:12.320><c> do.</c>

00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:14.820
You<00:39:13.239><c> know,</c><00:39:13.380><c> even</c><00:39:13.599><c> though</c><00:39:13.739><c> we</c><00:39:13.880><c> have</c><00:39:14.039><c> a</c><00:39:14.179><c> part</c><00:39:14.300><c> to</c><00:39:14.599><c> play,</c>

00:39:15.019 --> 00:39:16.920
it's<00:39:15.239><c> still</c><00:39:15.599><c> His</c><00:39:15.900><c> grace</c><00:39:16.239><c> and</c><00:39:16.400><c> His</c><00:39:16.639><c> mercy.</c>

00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:19.119
So<00:39:17.559><c> look,</c><00:39:17.760><c> even</c><00:39:18.199><c> when</c><00:39:18.400><c> these</c><00:39:18.719><c> kids</c>

00:39:29.139 --> 00:39:30.880
if<00:39:29.280><c> He</c><00:39:29.420><c> had</c><00:39:29.619><c> waited</c><00:39:30.000><c> until</c><00:39:30.440><c> the</c><00:39:30.679><c> children</c>

00:39:37.179 --> 00:39:38.800
