00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.799
Good<00:00:33.240><c> morning,</c><00:00:34.200><c> brothers</c><00:00:34.359><c> and</c><00:00:34.579><c> sisters</c><00:00:34.899><c> in</c><00:00:35.100><c> the</c><00:00:35.179><c> Lord</c><00:00:35.380><c> Jesus</c><00:00:35.619><c> Christ.</c>

00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.920
Well,<00:00:39.560><c> as</c><00:00:39.899><c> we</c><00:00:40.020><c> have</c><00:00:40.259><c> considered</c><00:00:40.700><c> in</c><00:00:40.920><c> the</c><00:00:41.039><c> past</c><00:00:41.539><c> few</c><00:00:41.759><c> days,</c><00:00:42.679><c> the</c>

00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.320
and<00:00:52.100><c> how</c><00:00:52.439><c> we</c><00:00:52.920><c> instill</c><00:00:53.820><c> faith</c>

00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:02.060
faithfulness.

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.459
And<00:01:02.320><c> then</c><00:01:02.460><c> yesterday,</c><00:01:03.020><c> unfortunately,</c><00:01:03.820><c> we</c><00:01:04.099><c> considered</c><00:01:04.799><c> that</c>

00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:08.840
we<00:01:05.719><c> are</c><00:01:06.099><c> prone</c><00:01:06.640><c> to</c><00:01:07.359><c> having</c><00:01:07.780><c> confidence</c><00:01:08.519><c> in</c>

00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:13.000
the<00:01:09.099><c> flesh,</c><00:01:10.180><c> confidence</c><00:01:10.620><c> in</c><00:01:10.980><c> the</c><00:01:11.180><c> works</c><00:01:11.599><c> by</c><00:01:12.019><c> law,</c><00:01:12.599><c> confidence</c>

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.280
in<00:01:13.260><c> those</c><00:01:13.519><c> things</c><00:01:13.959><c> which</c><00:01:14.560><c> can</c><00:01:14.920><c> be</c><00:01:15.299><c> seen</c>

00:01:16.299 --> 00:01:19.920
rather<00:01:16.700><c> in</c><00:01:17.079><c> those</c><00:01:17.480><c> things</c><00:01:17.920><c> which</c><00:01:18.260><c> cannot</c><00:01:18.739><c> be</c><00:01:19.120><c> seen.</c>

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.019
And<00:01:21.219><c> so</c><00:01:21.319><c> we</c><00:01:21.500><c> looked</c><00:01:21.799><c> and</c><00:01:22.200><c> considered</c><00:01:22.700><c> that</c><00:01:23.060><c> the</c><00:01:23.659><c> Gospel</c><00:01:24.140><c> message,</c><00:01:24.780><c> the</c>

00:01:25.019 --> 00:01:26.840
New<00:01:25.299><c> Covenant,</c><00:01:25.939><c> is</c><00:01:26.099><c> one</c><00:01:26.379><c> that</c><00:01:26.560><c> was</c>

00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:31.920
based<00:01:27.260><c> upon</c><00:01:27.900><c> grace,</c><00:01:29.319><c> promises</c><00:01:29.819><c> given</c><00:01:30.400><c> to</c><00:01:30.760><c> Abraham,</c><00:01:31.319><c> as</c><00:01:31.579><c> Paul</c>

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.620
emphasizes<00:01:32.739><c> in</c><00:01:33.480><c> Romans</c><00:01:33.780><c> chapter</c><00:01:34.239><c> 4,</c><00:01:35.079><c> because</c>

00:01:35.620 --> 00:01:37.099
he<00:01:36.099><c> believed.</c>

00:01:37.469 --> 00:01:41.480
So<00:01:37.939><c> we're</c><00:01:38.120><c> going</c><00:01:38.260><c> to</c><00:01:38.560><c> consider</c><00:01:38.959><c> then</c><00:01:39.400><c> the</c><00:01:39.879><c> extent</c><00:01:40.439><c> of</c><00:01:40.959><c> God's</c>

00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:46.439
mercy<00:01:42.219><c> by</c><00:01:43.719><c> which</c><00:01:44.219><c> he</c><00:01:44.719><c> ascribes</c><00:01:45.359><c> or</c><00:01:45.819><c> imputes</c>

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:50.840
or<00:01:46.859><c> counts</c><00:01:47.659><c> believers</c><00:01:48.500><c> in</c><00:01:48.920><c> him</c><00:01:49.700><c> faithful.</c>

00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.099
That<00:01:51.280><c> is</c><00:01:51.599><c> the</c><00:01:52.260><c> message</c><00:01:52.819><c> of</c><00:01:53.140><c> Romans</c><00:01:53.519><c> chapter</c><00:01:54.060><c> 4.</c>

00:01:55.180 --> 00:02:00.260
But<00:01:55.400><c> before</c><00:01:55.719><c> we</c><00:01:55.900><c> get</c><00:01:56.140><c> there,</c><00:01:56.420><c> we</c><00:01:56.519><c> want</c><00:01:56.719><c> to</c><00:01:57.760><c> consider</c><00:01:57.760><c> in</c><00:01:58.239><c> chapter</c><00:01:59.900><c> 3,</c>
