The<00:23:06.059><c> power</c><00:23:06.559><c> of</c><00:23:06.940><c> God</c><00:23:07.160><c> in</c><00:23:07.359><c> the</c><00:23:07.519><c> gospel</c><00:23:08.000><c> is</c><00:23:08.440><c> in</c><00:23:08.559><c> the</c><00:23:08.799><c> knowledge</c><00:23:09.039><c> of</c><00:23:09.259><c> it.</c>

00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:10.619
Now<00:23:09.740><c> what's</c><00:23:10.019><c> the</c><00:23:10.119><c> knowledge</c><00:23:10.400><c> of</c><00:23:10.539><c> it?</c>

00:23:10.700 --> 00:23:11.599
The<00:23:10.920><c> knowledge</c><00:23:11.140><c> is</c><00:23:11.380><c> this.</c>

00:23:12.059 --> 00:23:14.019
It's<00:23:12.400><c> terribly</c><00:23:12.819><c> logical.</c>

00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:17.500
That<00:23:14.259><c> if</c><00:23:14.579><c> one</c><00:23:15.119><c> died</c><00:23:15.740><c> for</c><00:23:16.420><c> all,</c>

00:23:18.859 --> 00:23:23.519
then<00:23:19.079><c> it's</c><00:23:19.500><c> obvious</c><00:23:20.119><c> that</c><00:23:21.259><c> all</c><00:23:21.480><c> who</c><00:23:21.779><c> believe</c><00:23:22.039><c> it</c><00:23:22.279><c> are</c><00:23:22.700><c> dead.</c>

00:23:24.500 --> 00:23:26.019
See<00:23:24.720><c> what</c><00:23:24.920><c> Paul's</c><00:23:25.240><c> trying</c><00:23:25.440><c> to</c><00:23:25.640><c> tell</c><00:23:25.740><c> us.</c>

00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:28.059
It<00:23:26.539><c> might</c><00:23:26.779><c> sound</c><00:23:27.099><c> simple.</c>

00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:29.140
A<00:23:28.359><c> simple</c><00:23:28.599><c> equation.</c>

00:23:29.140 --> 00:23:30.740
It<00:23:29.319><c> isn't</c><00:23:29.579><c> so</c><00:23:29.900><c> simple.</c>

00:23:30.779 --> 00:23:34.119
What<00:23:30.880><c> he's</c><00:23:31.099><c> trying</c><00:23:31.359><c> to</c><00:23:31.519><c> say</c><00:23:31.740><c> is</c><00:23:31.980><c> that</c><00:23:32.200><c> the</c><00:23:32.559><c> power</c><00:23:33.019><c> of</c><00:23:33.339><c> the</c><00:23:33.519><c> gospel</c><00:23:33.839><c> is</c>

00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:35.539
in<00:23:34.220><c> its</c><00:23:34.460><c> logic.</c>

00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:38.500
Now<00:23:36.160><c> you</c><00:23:36.319><c> take</c><00:23:36.599><c> the</c><00:23:36.819><c> doctrine</c><00:23:37.059><c> of</c><00:23:37.319><c> substitution.</c>

00:23:38.779 --> 00:23:41.059
One<00:23:39.019><c> died</c><00:23:39.460><c> instead</c><00:23:39.960><c> of</c><00:23:40.220><c> all.</c>

00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:43.839
Therefore,<00:23:41.940><c> all</c><00:23:42.259><c> are</c><00:23:42.660><c> not</c><00:23:42.859><c> dead.</c>

00:23:45.579 --> 00:23:46.339
Isn't<00:23:45.819><c> that</c><00:23:46.039><c> right?</c>

00:23:46.740 --> 00:23:50.440
If<00:23:46.900><c> he</c><00:23:47.160><c> died</c><00:23:47.440><c> instead</c><00:23:47.900><c> of</c><00:23:48.140><c> all,</c><00:23:48.720><c> then</c><00:23:49.059><c> all</c><00:23:49.500><c> are</c><00:23:49.799><c> not</c><00:23:50.059><c> dead.</c>

00:23:50.700 --> 00:23:52.319
But<00:23:50.859><c> he</c><00:23:50.980><c> didn't</c><00:23:51.299><c> die</c><00:23:51.599><c> instead</c><00:23:51.920><c> of</c><00:23:52.099><c> all.</c>

00:23:52.420 --> 00:23:54.480
He<00:23:52.700><c> died</c><00:23:53.099><c> for</c><00:23:53.599><c> all.</c>

00:23:54.779 --> 00:23:57.980
The<00:23:54.980><c> doctrine</c><00:23:55.259><c> of</c><00:23:55.420><c> the</c><00:23:55.559><c> atonement</c><00:23:55.980><c> is</c><00:23:56.500><c> a</c><00:23:56.920><c> representative</c><00:23:57.640><c> thing.</c>

00:23:57.980 --> 00:24:03.619
The<00:23:58.980><c> Lord</c><00:23:59.339><c> Jesus</c><00:23:59.859><c> Christ</c><00:24:00.259><c> bore</c><00:24:00.740><c> our</c><00:24:01.420><c> sins</c><00:24:01.799><c> in</c><00:24:02.279><c> his</c><00:24:02.819><c> own</c><00:24:03.259><c> body</c>

00:24:03.619 --> 00:24:05.059
on<00:24:03.960><c> the</c><00:24:04.240><c> tree.</c>

00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:08.200
If<00:24:05.559><c> he,</c><00:24:05.920><c> therefore,</c><00:24:06.720><c> crucified</c><00:24:07.180><c> the</c><00:24:07.500><c> lust</c><00:24:07.680><c> of</c><00:24:07.859><c> the</c><00:24:08.019><c> flesh,</c>

00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:10.140
the<00:24:08.500><c> lust</c><00:24:08.680><c> of</c><00:24:08.900><c> the</c><00:24:09.019><c> eye,</c><00:24:09.160><c> and</c><00:24:09.259><c> the</c><00:24:09.460><c> pride</c><00:24:09.619><c> of</c><00:24:09.819><c> life,</c>

00:24:10.500 --> 00:24:14.019
not<00:24:10.700><c> only</c><00:24:11.180><c> individually</c><00:24:11.799><c> but</c><00:24:12.359><c> in</c><00:24:12.740><c> a</c><00:24:12.960><c> collective</c><00:24:13.339><c> sense</c><00:24:13.720><c> for</c>

00:24:14.019 --> 00:24:14.440
us<00:24:14.240><c> all,</c>

00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:17.579
then<00:24:14.619><c> it's</c><00:24:15.039><c> obvious</c><00:24:15.339><c> that</c><00:24:15.500><c> we've</c><00:24:15.779><c> all</c><00:24:16.099><c> got</c><00:24:16.359><c> to</c><00:24:16.559><c> do</c><00:24:16.700><c> it.</c>

00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:20.779
If<00:24:18.180><c> one</c><00:24:18.460><c> died</c><00:24:18.779><c> for</c><00:24:19.119><c> all,</c><00:24:19.259><c> we're</c><00:24:19.559><c> all</c><00:24:19.900><c> dead.</c>

00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:22.460
That's<00:24:21.599><c> terribly</c><00:24:21.880><c> logical.</c>

00:24:22.940 --> 00:24:24.740
And<00:24:23.019><c> you</c><00:24:23.119><c> see,</c><00:24:23.799><c> though</c><00:24:24.099><c> it's</c><00:24:24.339><c> simple,</c>

00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:27.119
you<00:24:25.019><c> can</c><00:24:25.259><c> see</c><00:24:25.380><c> the</c><00:24:25.599><c> generating</c><00:24:26.079><c> force</c><00:24:26.539><c> of</c><00:24:26.819><c> that.</c>

00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:30.539
That<00:24:27.880><c> as</c><00:24:28.160><c> a</c><00:24:28.279><c> person</c><00:24:28.619><c> comes</c><00:24:29.039><c> to</c><00:24:29.299><c> comprehend</c><00:24:29.859><c> the</c><00:24:30.039><c> simplicity</c>

00:24:30.539 --> 00:24:31.299
of<00:24:30.720><c> that</c><00:24:30.940><c> doctrine</c>

00:24:31.299 --> 00:24:33.640
and<00:24:31.779><c> they</c><00:24:32.039><c> see</c><00:24:32.180><c> the</c><00:24:32.420><c> ramifications</c><00:24:33.059><c> of</c><00:24:33.299><c> it,</c>

00:24:33.740 --> 00:24:37.140
so<00:24:33.920><c> it</c><00:24:34.180><c> flows</c><00:24:34.420><c> over</c><00:24:34.759><c> from</c><00:24:34.960><c> their</c><00:24:35.259><c> mind</c><00:24:35.599><c> into</c><00:24:36.279><c> their</c><00:24:36.539><c> emotions</c>

00:24:37.140 --> 00:24:39.660
and<00:24:37.579><c> generates</c><00:24:38.140><c> a</c><00:24:38.519><c> motive</c><00:24:38.819><c> force</c><00:24:39.119><c> in</c><00:24:39.279><c> their</c><00:24:39.480><c> life.</c>

00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:43.000
If<00:24:39.819><c> he</c><00:24:40.079><c> died</c><00:24:40.420><c> for</c><00:24:40.720><c> me,</c><00:24:41.160><c> I</c><00:24:41.599><c> am</c><00:24:42.039><c> dead.</c>

00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:45.039
And<00:24:43.680><c> it's</c><00:24:44.059><c> true.</c>

00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:47.259
So<00:24:45.700><c> Paul</c><00:24:45.900><c> says</c><00:24:46.160><c> we're</c><00:24:46.440><c> dead.</c>

00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:50.279
We're<00:24:47.599><c> dead</c><00:24:47.819><c> to</c><00:24:48.039><c> this</c><00:24:48.319><c> world</c><00:24:48.619><c> because</c><00:24:49.160><c> he</c><00:24:49.519><c> was.</c>

00:24:50.299 --> 00:24:52.500
And<00:24:50.599><c> that's</c><00:24:50.880><c> the</c><00:24:51.160><c> force</c><00:24:51.500><c> behind</c><00:24:51.859><c> that</c><00:24:52.180><c> doctrine.</c>

00:24:52.819 --> 00:24:54.720
That's<00:24:53.119><c> what</c><00:24:53.299><c> Paul's</c><00:24:53.680><c> trying</c><00:24:53.779><c> to</c><00:24:53.920><c> tell</c><00:24:54.000><c> us</c><00:24:54.180><c> in</c><00:24:54.359><c> Romans.</c>

00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:59.380
How<00:33:56.559><c> then</c><00:33:56.960><c> can</c><00:33:57.259><c> man</c><00:33:57.500><c> be</c><00:33:57.819><c> justified</c><00:33:58.240><c> with</c><00:33:58.519><c> God?</c>

00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:03.220
Or<00:34:00.279><c> how</c><00:34:00.539><c> can</c><00:34:00.779><c> he</c><00:34:01.000><c> be</c><00:34:01.299><c> clean</c><00:34:01.559><c> that</c><00:34:01.740><c> is</c><00:34:01.920><c> born</c><00:34:02.119><c> of</c><00:34:02.279><c> a</c><00:34:02.420><c> woman?</c>

Well,<00:34:03.900><c> how</c><00:34:04.160><c> can</c><00:34:04.440><c> he?</c>

00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:10.159
There's<00:34:06.319><c> no</c><00:34:06.599><c> way</c><00:34:06.819><c> that</c><00:34:07.019><c> he</c><00:34:07.160><c> can,</c><00:34:08.019><c> except</c><00:34:08.460><c> through</c><00:34:08.719><c> God's</c><00:34:09.179><c> power.</c>

00:34:11.059 --> 00:34:12.780
There's<00:34:11.619><c> just</c><00:34:11.880><c> no</c><00:34:12.179><c> way.</c>

00:34:12.860 --> 00:34:15.380

00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:28.679
It<00:34:25.239><c> goes</c><00:34:25.500><c> even</c><00:34:25.880><c> further,</c><00:34:27.380><c> which</c><00:34:27.619><c> Paul</c><00:34:27.940><c> quotes</c><00:34:28.300><c> in</c><00:34:28.460><c> the</c><00:34:28.539><c> book</c>

00:34:45.219 --> 00:34:49.679
And<00:34:45.940><c> note</c><00:34:46.179><c> the</c><00:34:46.579><c> intensity</c><00:34:47.000><c> of</c><00:34:47.199><c> this</c><00:34:47.420><c> prayer</c><00:34:47.800><c> in</c><00:34:48.559><c> verses</c><00:34:48.880><c> 1</c><00:34:49.139><c> and</c><00:34:49.340><c> 2.</c>

00:34:54.239 --> 00:35:01.239

00:35:04.219 --> 00:35:08.980
For<00:35:04.380><c> in</c><00:35:04.559><c> thy</c><00:35:04.920><c> sight</c><00:35:05.460><c> shall</c><00:35:05.960><c> no</c><00:35:06.460><c> man</c><00:35:06.820><c> living</c><00:35:07.300><c> be</c><00:35:07.880><c> justified.</c>

00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:11.619
What<00:35:10.519><c> a</c><00:35:10.760><c> prayer</c><00:35:10.900><c> that</c><00:35:11.119><c> is.</c>

00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:19.000
Don't<00:35:17.920><c> do</c><00:35:18.179><c> that.</c>

00:35:19.260 --> 00:35:22.940
Because<00:35:19.380><c> he</c><00:35:19.559><c> said,</c><00:35:19.840><c> in</c><00:35:19.840><c> thy</c><00:35:20.300><c> sight</c><00:35:20.500><c> shall</c><00:35:20.840><c> no</c><00:35:21.320><c> man</c><00:35:21.760><c> living</c><00:35:22.019><c> be</c><00:35:22.420><c> justified.</c>

Now,<00:36:40.599><c> it's</c><00:36:40.820><c> a</c><00:36:40.960><c> wonderful</c><00:36:41.239><c> thing</c><00:36:41.519><c> when</c><00:36:41.639><c> you</c><00:36:41.800><c> think</c><00:36:42.000><c> about</c><00:36:42.260><c> it,</c>

00:36:42.900 --> 00:36:48.739
how<00:36:43.119><c> God</c><00:36:43.619><c> has</c><00:36:44.039><c> ever</c><00:36:45.179><c> taken</c><00:36:46.059><c> that</c><00:36:46.340><c> nation</c><00:36:46.719><c> and</c><00:36:46.940><c> given</c><00:36:47.179><c> them</c><00:36:47.420><c> a</c><00:36:47.599><c> preeminence.</c>

00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:53.780
And<00:36:50.159><c> you</c><00:36:50.219><c> know,</c><00:36:50.860><c> their</c><00:36:51.179><c> idea,</c><00:36:52.079><c> you</c><00:36:52.320><c> know,</c><00:36:52.519><c> you</c><00:36:52.800><c> think</c><00:36:53.139><c> about</c><00:36:53.360><c> this,</c>

00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:57.059
you<00:36:54.219><c> think</c><00:36:54.599><c> what</c><00:36:54.980><c> Paul</c><00:36:55.280><c> is</c><00:36:55.440><c> actually</c><00:36:55.760><c> saying</c><00:36:56.039><c> here,</c>

00:36:57.460 --> 00:37:00.619
you<00:36:57.639><c> went</c><00:36:57.760><c> and</c><00:36:57.940><c> asked</c><00:36:58.179><c> a</c><00:36:58.380><c> Jew,</c><00:36:58.699><c> is</c><00:36:58.760><c> to</c><00:36:58.900><c> say,</c><00:36:59.460><c> now,</c><00:36:59.619><c> why?</c>

00:37:00.739 --> 00:37:06.059
What<00:37:01.300><c> was</c><00:37:01.659><c> it</c><00:37:01.920><c> that</c><00:37:02.119><c> gave</c><00:37:02.400><c> you</c><00:37:02.820><c> a</c><00:37:03.179><c> preeminence</c><00:37:04.519><c> above</c><00:37:05.139><c> others?</c>

00:37:06.699 --> 00:37:08.599
And<00:37:06.840><c> invariably,</c><00:37:07.539><c> in</c><00:37:07.639><c> the</c><00:37:07.800><c> days</c><00:37:07.940><c> of</c><00:37:08.119><c> the</c><00:37:08.280><c> apostle,</c>

00:37:08.820 --> 00:37:11.960
the<00:37:08.940><c> answer</c><00:37:09.199><c> would</c><00:37:09.440><c> come</c><00:37:09.679><c> back</c><00:37:09.840><c> very</c><00:37:10.239><c> speedily</c><00:37:10.760><c> because</c><00:37:11.360><c> we</c>

00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:13.239
have<00:37:12.219><c> the</c><00:37:12.460><c> law.</c>

00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:16.800
It<00:37:13.900><c> is</c><00:37:14.139><c> the</c><00:37:14.340><c> law</c><00:37:14.659><c> which</c><00:37:15.119><c> distinguishes</c><00:37:15.579><c> us</c><00:37:15.880><c> from</c><00:37:16.139><c> all</c><00:37:16.460><c> others.</c>

00:37:17.179 --> 00:37:20.179
And<00:37:17.420><c> because</c><00:37:17.780><c> we</c><00:37:18.119><c> practice</c><00:37:18.500><c> the</c><00:37:18.760><c> law,</c><00:37:18.940><c> we</c><00:37:19.059><c> are</c><00:37:19.320><c> so</c><00:37:19.460><c> much</c><00:37:19.739><c> better</c><00:37:19.980><c> than</c>

00:37:20.179 --> 00:37:20.679
other<00:37:20.360><c> people.</c>

00:37:20.739 --> 00:37:23.539
That's<00:37:21.039><c> why</c><00:37:21.320><c> God</c><00:37:21.539><c> loves</c><00:37:21.880><c> us.</c>

00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:26.400
Oh?<00:37:24.920><c> Well,</c><00:37:25.199><c> Paul's</c><00:37:25.579><c> point</c><00:37:25.699><c> is</c><00:37:25.960><c> this,</c>

00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:31.099
that<00:37:27.480><c> is</c><00:37:27.599><c> the</c><00:37:27.860><c> power</c><00:37:28.139><c> of</c><00:37:28.340><c> God</c><00:37:28.460><c> unto</c><00:37:28.719><c> salvation</c><00:37:29.219><c> to</c><00:37:29.659><c> everyone</c>

00:37:31.099 --> 00:37:32.840

00:37:38.460 --> 00:37:44.039
And<00:37:38.800><c> yet,</c><00:37:40.820><c> even</c><00:37:41.039><c> though</c><00:37:41.900><c> the</c><00:37:42.360><c> cardinal</c><00:37:42.800><c> principle</c><00:37:43.219><c> was</c><00:37:43.539><c> faith,</c>

00:37:44.539 --> 00:37:47.099
which<00:37:44.780><c> was</c><00:37:45.039><c> a</c><00:37:45.460><c> universal</c><00:37:45.920><c> principle,</c>

00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:53.159
it<00:37:47.460><c> still</c><00:37:48.039><c> was</c><00:37:50.139><c> a</c><00:37:50.360><c> fact</c><00:37:50.780><c> to</c><00:37:51.179><c> the</c><00:37:51.480><c> Jew</c><00:37:51.699><c> first</c><00:37:52.119><c> and</c><00:37:52.360><c> also</c><00:37:52.639><c> to</c><00:37:52.820><c> the</c><00:37:53.000><c> Greek,</c>

00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:56.739
and<00:37:53.539><c> therefore</c><00:37:53.900><c> his</c><00:37:54.260><c> preeminence</c><00:37:54.820><c> above</c><00:37:55.119><c> men</c><00:37:55.599><c> was</c><00:37:56.159><c> an</c><00:37:56.280><c> act</c><00:37:56.539><c> of</c>

00:37:56.739 --> 00:37:57.719

00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:04.539
Because<00:38:01.460><c> it's</c><00:38:01.880><c> faith</c><00:38:02.320><c> that's</c><00:38:02.659><c> the</c><00:38:02.840><c> factor</c><00:38:03.119><c> that</c><00:38:03.699><c> saves</c><00:38:04.179><c> men</c>

00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:12.159
Now,<00:38:09.639><c> you</c><00:38:09.800><c> look</c><00:38:09.940><c> at</c><00:38:10.119><c> this</c><00:38:10.320><c> quotation</c><00:38:10.880><c> in</c><00:38:11.440><c> the</c><00:38:11.559><c> tenth</c><00:38:11.780><c> chapter</c>

00:42:34.099 --> 00:42:39.260
Only<00:42:34.559><c> by</c><00:42:34.960><c> looking</c><00:42:35.260><c> at</c><00:42:35.639><c> God's</c><00:42:36.599><c> method</c><00:42:37.039><c> of</c><00:42:37.539><c> justification,</c><00:42:38.460><c> which</c><00:42:38.679><c> is</c>

00:42:39.260 --> 00:42:41.000
the<00:42:39.539><c> righteousness</c><00:42:39.980><c> of</c><00:42:40.280><c> God</c><00:42:40.500><c> revealed.</c>

00:42:45.219 --> 00:42:49.920
So<00:42:45.380><c> he</c><00:42:45.539><c> says</c><00:42:45.699><c> God</c><00:42:46.280><c> has</c><00:42:46.619><c> revealed</c><00:42:47.159><c> a</c><00:42:47.880><c> completely</c><00:42:48.300><c> different</c><00:42:49.119><c> method</c><00:42:49.400><c> of</c>

00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:54.619
He<00:42:52.280><c> couldn't</c><00:42:52.559><c> conceive</c><00:42:53.320><c> such</c><00:42:53.679><c> a</c><00:42:53.820><c> thing.</c>

00:42:54.780 --> 00:42:57.940
What<00:42:54.920><c> he's</c><00:42:55.139><c> got</c><00:42:55.320><c> to</c><00:42:55.519><c> do</c><00:42:55.659><c> is</c><00:42:55.780><c> come</c><00:42:56.019><c> to</c><00:42:56.239><c> grips</c><00:42:56.400><c> with</c><00:42:56.579><c> it</c><00:42:56.780><c> and</c><00:42:56.940><c> believe</c><00:42:57.519><c> it,</c>

00:43:00.539 --> 00:43:03.380
Now,<00:43:00.840><c> the</c><00:43:00.920><c> Jew</c><00:43:01.099><c> had</c><00:43:01.340><c> his</c><00:43:01.619><c> system</c><00:43:01.820><c> of</c><00:43:02.059><c> coming</c><00:43:02.260><c> to</c><00:43:02.440><c> God.</c>

00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:06.360

00:43:09.059 --> 00:43:11.400
He<00:43:09.280><c> found,</c><00:43:09.440><c> for</c><00:43:09.619><c> example,</c><00:43:10.000><c> as</c><00:43:10.219><c> Paul</c><00:43:10.380><c> will</c><00:43:10.619><c> later</c><00:43:10.780><c> on</c><00:43:11.039><c> expound,</c>

00:43:17.820 --> 00:43:22.320
And<00:43:18.340><c> you</c><00:43:18.539><c> know,</c><00:43:19.480><c> in</c><00:43:19.739><c> the</c><00:43:19.980><c> Gospel</c><00:43:20.360><c> message,</c><00:43:20.880><c> there</c><00:43:20.960><c> was</c><00:43:21.199><c> revealed</c><00:43:21.760><c> God's</c>

00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:25.760
But<00:43:23.719><c> it</c><00:43:23.840><c> wasn't</c><00:43:24.039><c> only</c><00:43:24.340><c> revealed</c><00:43:24.639><c> in</c><00:43:24.800><c> the</c><00:43:24.960><c> Gospel</c><00:43:25.300><c> message</c><00:43:25.579><c> in</c>

00:43:26.440 --> 00:43:30.039
It<00:43:26.480><c> was</c><00:43:26.719><c> revealed</c><00:43:26.980><c> in</c><00:43:27.139><c> the</c><00:43:27.300><c> Gospel</c><00:43:27.619><c> message</c><00:43:28.079><c> right</c><00:43:28.639><c> from</c><00:43:29.019><c> the</c>

00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:33.460
The<00:43:32.019><c> righteousness</c><00:43:32.420><c> of</c><00:43:32.699><c> God</c><00:43:32.920><c> was</c><00:43:33.179><c> revealed.</c>

00:43:33.539 --> 00:43:35.679
Now<00:43:33.659><c> let's</c><00:43:33.800><c> have</c><00:43:33.980><c> a</c><00:43:34.039><c> look</c><00:43:34.139><c> at</c><00:43:34.280><c> a</c><00:43:34.400><c> couple</c><00:43:34.579><c> of</c><00:43:34.840><c> references.</c>

For<00:43:36.199><c> example,</c><00:43:37.039><c> Isaiah,</c><00:43:37.739><c> take</c><00:43:37.960><c> Isaiah</c><00:43:38.480><c> as</c><00:43:38.820><c> probably</c><00:43:39.139><c> the</c><00:43:39.380><c> best</c><00:43:39.619><c> example.</c>

00:43:40.420 --> 00:43:41.400
We'll<00:43:40.440><c> use</c><00:43:40.699><c> the</c><00:43:40.860><c> ones</c><00:43:41.039><c> there.</c>

him<00:56:01.010><c> faith.</c>

00:56:02.989 --> 00:56:05.969
So<00:56:03.150><c> it's</c><00:56:03.409><c> faith</c><00:56:03.789><c> which</c><00:56:04.130><c> interprets</c><00:56:04.929><c> God's</c><00:56:05.409><c> righteousness,</c>

00:56:15.849 --> 00:56:19.389

And<00:57:51.550><c> that</c><00:57:51.670><c> that</c><00:57:51.829><c> generates</c><00:57:52.269><c> in</c><00:57:52.409><c> us</c><00:57:52.670><c> at</c><00:57:52.909><c> once</c><00:57:53.369><c> that</c><00:57:53.570><c> God</c><00:57:53.829><c> killed</c>

00:57:54.150 --> 00:57:55.429
his<00:57:54.489><c> own</c><00:57:54.789><c> son</c><00:57:54.949><c> for</c><00:57:55.190><c> us.</c>

00:57:55.550 --> 00:57:57.389
We<00:57:55.849><c> love</c><00:57:56.090><c> him</c><00:57:56.289><c> for</c><00:57:56.469><c> that.</c>

00:57:58.429 --> 00:58:03.769
But<00:57:58.909><c> that</c><00:57:59.389><c> love</c><00:57:59.630><c> is</c><00:57:59.989><c> rooted</c><00:58:00.190><c> and</c><00:58:00.489><c> grounded</c><00:58:00.690><c> in</c><00:58:00.949><c> knowledge</c><00:58:01.550><c> because</c><00:58:03.170><c> that</c><00:58:03.510><c> son</c>

00:58:03.769 --> 00:58:05.550

00:58:05.989 --> 00:58:07.730
Therefore,<00:58:06.489><c> we've</c><00:58:06.730><c> got</c><00:58:06.769><c> to</c><00:58:06.909><c> die</c><00:58:07.070><c> like</c><00:58:07.369><c> him.</c>

00:58:07.730 --> 00:58:12.150
And<00:58:08.809><c> so</c><00:58:09.010><c> we</c><00:58:09.190><c> put</c><00:58:09.389><c> ourselves</c><00:58:09.849><c> to</c><00:58:10.090><c> death</c><00:58:10.210><c> by</c><00:58:10.469><c> God's</c><00:58:10.909><c> power,</c><00:58:11.769><c> exhibited</c><00:58:11.969><c> in</c>

00:58:16.889 --> 00:58:20.269

00:58:20.389 --> 00:58:22.690
And<00:58:20.650><c> we</c><00:58:20.929><c> stand</c><00:58:21.289><c> still</c><00:58:21.510><c> and</c><00:58:21.769><c> believe</c><00:58:22.230><c> in</c><00:58:22.429><c> him.</c>

00:58:23.010 --> 00:58:26.469
And<00:58:23.150><c> that</c><00:58:23.409><c> belief</c><00:58:23.849><c> generates</c><00:58:24.489><c> us</c><00:58:24.829><c> and</c><00:58:25.389><c> generates</c><00:58:25.849><c> action</c><00:58:26.269><c> in</c>

00:58:26.469 --> 00:58:26.889
our<00:58:26.630><c> lives.</c>

00:58:27.250 --> 00:58:30.730
The<00:58:27.489><c> just</c><00:58:27.730><c> shall</c><00:58:27.969><c> live</c><00:58:28.130><c> by</c><00:58:28.449><c> faith</c><00:58:28.769><c> was</c><00:58:29.010><c> Paul's</c><00:58:29.550><c> final</c><00:58:29.849><c> comment.</c>

00:58:30.929 --> 00:58:33.489
In<00:58:31.070><c> other</c><00:58:31.269><c> words,</c><00:58:31.489><c> he's</c><00:58:31.690><c> saying,</c><00:58:32.030><c> look,</c><00:58:32.389><c> if</c><00:58:32.530><c> you</c><00:58:32.750><c> can't</c><00:58:33.070><c> believe</c><00:58:33.349><c> what</c>

00:58:33.489 --> 00:58:35.730
I'm<00:58:33.670><c> telling</c><00:58:33.869><c> you</c><00:58:34.070><c> in</c><00:58:34.469><c> this</c><00:58:35.309><c> doctrine,</c>

00:58:35.730 --> 00:58:37.750
let<00:58:36.230><c> the</c><00:58:36.489><c> scriptures</c><00:58:36.750><c> speak</c><00:58:37.050><c> for</c><00:58:37.210><c> themselves.</c>

00:58:38.090 --> 00:58:40.010
The<00:58:38.269><c> just</c><00:58:38.469><c> shall</c><00:58:38.690><c> live</c><00:58:38.829><c> by</c><00:58:39.150><c> faith.</c>

00:58:40.489 --> 00:58:43.170
Now,<00:58:40.730><c> can</c><00:58:40.730><c> we</c><00:58:40.809><c> have</c><00:58:40.949><c> that</c><00:58:41.710><c> machine</c><00:58:42.010><c> on,</c><00:58:42.469><c> Mayna?</c>

00:58:44.829 --> 00:58:48.090
So<00:58:45.150><c> Paul</c><00:58:45.349><c> says,</c><00:58:45.909><c> here's</c><00:58:46.130><c> the</c><00:58:46.269><c> principle.</c>

00:58:51.889 --> 00:58:52.969
Walk<00:58:52.170><c> in</c><00:58:52.369><c> there</c><00:58:52.590><c> somewhere.</c>

00:58:53.409 --> 00:58:54.429
Right.

00:58:55.190 --> 00:58:58.210
Now,<00:58:55.429><c> if</c><00:58:55.550><c> you'll</c><00:58:55.670><c> all</c><00:58:55.849><c> turn</c><00:58:55.989><c> to</c><00:58:56.110><c> the</c><00:58:56.190><c> book</c><00:58:56.309><c> of</c><00:58:56.489><c> Galatians</c><00:58:57.269><c> where</c><00:58:57.949><c> Paul</c>

00:59:01.889 --> 00:59:04.590
we<00:59:02.230><c> probably</c><00:59:02.630><c> see</c><00:59:02.889><c> it</c><00:59:03.030><c> a</c><00:59:03.030><c> bit</c><00:59:03.289><c> clearer</c><00:59:03.650><c> as</c><00:59:03.969><c> to</c><00:59:04.010><c> what</c><00:59:04.130><c> he</c><00:59:04.269><c> really</c>

00:59:04.590 --> 00:59:07.150
means<00:59:05.090><c> when</c><00:59:05.869><c> he</c><00:59:06.010><c> takes</c><00:59:06.309><c> this</c><00:59:06.610><c> quotation,</c>

It<00:59:53.730><c> is</c><00:59:54.010><c> not</c><00:59:54.250><c> something</c><00:59:54.510><c> that</c><00:59:54.730><c> people</c><00:59:54.909><c> can't</c><00:59:55.269><c> understand.</c>

00:59:58.730 --> 00:59:59.909
What's<00:59:59.110><c> evident?</c>

00:59:59.969 --> 01:00:03.750
Well,<01:00:01.230><c> it's</c><01:00:01.429><c> like</c><01:00:01.590><c> as</c><01:00:01.750><c> if</c><01:00:01.869><c> God</c><01:00:02.190><c> had</c><01:00:02.610><c> written</c><01:00:02.809><c> a</c><01:00:03.210><c> fundamental</c>

in<01:00:23.369><c> my</c><01:00:23.670><c> ability</c>

01:00:24.210 --> 01:00:27.210
and<01:00:24.690><c> in</c><01:00:24.889><c> the</c><01:00:25.150><c> great</c><01:00:25.449><c> doctrine</c><01:00:25.710><c> of</c><01:00:25.849><c> the</c><01:00:25.889><c> aton</c><01:00:26.030><c> which</c><01:00:26.250><c> I</c><01:00:26.570><c> set</c><01:00:26.809><c> forth.</c>

01:00:27.510 --> 01:00:29.250
As<01:00:27.630><c> if</c><01:00:27.710><c> he'd</c><01:00:27.869><c> written</c><01:00:27.969><c> as</c><01:00:28.349><c> clearly</c><01:00:28.650><c> as</c><01:00:28.929><c> that.</c>

01:00:29.710 --> 01:00:32.369
The<01:00:29.750><c> just</c><01:00:30.150><c> shall</c><01:00:30.590><c> live</c><01:00:30.949><c> by</c><01:00:31.369><c> faith.</c>

01:00:33.010 --> 01:00:33.989
As<01:00:33.030><c> Paul</c><01:00:33.150><c> said,</c><01:00:33.449><c> that's</c><01:00:33.730><c> evident.</c>

01:00:34.429 --> 01:00:38.550
Now,<01:00:34.570><c> if</c><01:00:34.889><c> faith</c><01:00:35.369><c> is</c><01:00:35.969><c> the</c><01:00:36.170><c> method</c><01:00:36.429><c> by</c><01:00:36.690><c> which</c><01:00:36.909><c> men</c><01:00:37.130><c> shall</c><01:00:37.349><c> live,</c>

01:00:40.090 --> 01:00:43.429
and<01:00:40.269><c> faith</c><01:00:40.670><c> and</c><01:00:41.150><c> law</c><01:00:41.510><c> are</c><01:00:42.050><c> opposites,</c>

01:00:44.230 --> 01:00:46.050
then<01:00:44.349><c> men</c><01:00:44.550><c> can't</c><01:00:44.909><c> live</c><01:00:45.050><c> by</c><01:00:45.329><c> law.</c>

01:00:46.389 --> 01:00:48.190
It's<01:00:46.809><c> as</c><01:00:47.250><c> logical</c><01:00:47.670><c> as</c><01:00:47.929><c> that.</c>

01:00:48.190 --> 01:00:51.010
So<01:00:48.730><c> Paul</c><01:00:49.010><c> sets</c><01:00:49.329><c> forth</c><01:00:49.590><c> his</c><01:00:49.789><c> doctrine</c><01:00:50.050><c> like</c><01:00:50.369><c> this.</c>

01:00:51.349 --> 01:00:54.369
And<01:00:51.469><c> I've</c><01:00:51.730><c> inverted</c><01:00:52.090><c> Paul's</c><01:00:52.590><c> order</c><01:00:52.829><c> for</c><01:00:53.110><c> the</c><01:00:53.250><c> illustration.</c>

01:00:54.550 --> 01:00:57.590
The<01:00:54.730><c> man,</c><01:00:55.909><c> this</c><01:00:56.210><c> is</c><01:00:56.389><c> the</c><01:00:56.550><c> law</c><01:00:56.769><c> keeper,</c>

01:00:57.650 --> 01:01:01.829

01:01:02.570 --> 01:01:04.769
Now,<01:01:02.789><c> in</c><01:01:02.969><c> the</c><01:01:03.190><c> other</c><01:01:03.489><c> statement,</c><01:01:03.949><c> you'll</c><01:01:04.130><c> notice</c><01:01:04.309><c> there's</c><01:01:04.570><c> a</c>

01:01:07.750 --> 01:01:10.550
For<01:01:07.989><c> the</c><01:01:08.230><c> man,</c><01:01:08.530><c> we've</c><01:01:08.849><c> got</c><01:01:09.309><c> the</c><01:01:09.710><c> just.</c>

01:01:11.829 --> 01:01:14.329
For<01:01:12.190><c> shall</c><01:01:12.550><c> live,</c><01:01:12.789><c> we've</c><01:01:13.050><c> got</c><01:01:13.210><c> shall</c><01:01:13.530><c> live.</c>

01:01:14.510 --> 01:01:16.489
And<01:01:14.769><c> for</c><01:01:15.030><c> in</c><01:01:15.250><c> them,</c><01:01:15.409><c> we've</c><01:01:15.690><c> got</c><01:01:15.809><c> by</c><01:01:16.210><c> faith.</c>

01:01:16.489 --> 01:01:21.250
There<01:01:16.949><c> is</c><01:01:17.449><c> no</c><01:01:17.969><c> parallel</c><01:01:18.489><c> for</c><01:01:18.730><c> the</c><01:01:18.929><c> statement</c><01:01:19.289><c> that</c><01:01:19.829><c> doeth</c><01:01:20.469><c> them.</c>

01:01:22.809 --> 01:01:24.929
What<01:01:22.989><c> is</c><01:01:23.230><c> the</c><01:01:23.369><c> work</c><01:01:23.530><c> of</c><01:01:23.730><c> God</c><01:01:23.909><c> then?</c>

01:01:25.030 --> 01:01:28.269
That<01:01:25.190><c> we</c><01:01:25.409><c> believe</c><01:01:26.090><c> what</c><01:01:27.010><c> God</c><01:01:27.309><c> has</c><01:01:27.550><c> done.</c>

01:01:29.289 --> 01:01:29.909
You<01:01:29.469><c> see</c><01:01:29.650><c> that?</c>

01:01:30.190 --> 01:01:31.110
Ever<01:01:30.469><c> so</c><01:01:30.789><c> clear.</c>

01:01:31.389 --> 01:01:34.030
There<01:01:31.510><c> is</c><01:01:31.750><c> no</c><01:01:32.190><c> parallel</c><01:01:32.630><c> comment</c><01:01:33.010><c> for</c><01:01:33.269><c> that.</c>

01:01:34.590 --> 01:01:36.250
For<01:01:35.050><c> the</c><01:01:35.190><c> words</c><01:01:35.449><c> that</c><01:01:35.690><c> do</c><01:01:35.869><c> it.</c>

01:01:36.690 --> 01:01:40.389
Well<01:01:36.829><c> now,</c><01:01:37.170><c> this</c><01:01:37.409><c> of</c><01:01:37.650><c> course</c><01:01:38.369><c> leads</c><01:01:39.489><c> us</c><01:01:39.730><c> to</c><01:01:39.869><c> the</c><01:01:40.050><c> question,</c>

01:01:40.489 --> 01:01:41.610
don't<01:01:40.690><c> we</c><01:01:40.869><c> have</c><01:01:41.050><c> to</c><01:01:41.190><c> do</c><01:01:41.349><c> anything?</c>

01:01:41.769 --> 01:01:43.050
Of<01:01:42.210><c> course</c><01:01:42.489><c> we</c><01:01:42.730><c> do.</c>

01:01:43.050 --> 01:01:46.369
But<01:01:43.889><c> it's</c><01:01:44.150><c> a</c><01:01:44.230><c> question</c><01:01:44.530><c> of</c><01:01:44.909><c> motive</c><01:01:45.130><c> and</c><01:01:45.409><c> objective.</c>

01:01:47.570 --> 01:01:50.829
Now<01:01:47.690><c> the</c><01:01:47.829><c> law</c><01:01:48.150><c> keeper's</c><01:01:48.610><c> motive</c><01:01:48.849><c> was</c><01:01:49.170><c> pride</c><01:01:49.449><c> in</c><01:01:49.570><c> his</c><01:01:49.789><c> achievement.</c>

And<01:01:51.429><c> his</c><01:01:51.630><c> objective</c><01:01:52.050><c> was</c><01:01:52.309><c> to</c><01:01:52.550><c> commend</c><01:01:52.769><c> himself</c><01:01:53.090><c> to</c><01:01:53.289><c> God.</c>

01:01:56.269 --> 01:01:59.409
But<01:01:56.409><c> those</c><01:01:56.750><c> who</c><01:01:56.909><c> are</c><01:01:57.030><c> under</c><01:01:57.269><c> grace,</c><01:01:57.769><c> their</c><01:01:57.969><c> motive</c><01:01:58.369><c> is</c><01:01:58.550><c> a</c><01:01:58.730><c> response</c><01:01:59.230><c> to</c>

God's<01:01:59.889><c> love.</c>

01:02:01.489 --> 01:02:05.449
And<01:02:01.809><c> their</c><01:02:01.969><c> objective</c><01:02:02.590><c> is</c><01:02:02.869><c> to</c><01:02:03.150><c> praise</c><01:02:03.429><c> God</c><01:02:03.809><c> for</c><01:02:04.170><c> his</c><01:02:04.429><c> achievement.</c>

01:02:07.849 --> 01:02:10.170
The<01:02:08.170><c> law</c><01:02:08.469><c> keeper</c><01:02:08.949><c> had</c><01:02:09.150><c> to</c><01:02:09.349><c> learn</c><01:02:09.510><c> this</c><01:02:09.670><c> principle</c>

01:02:20.269 --> 01:02:23.329
But<01:02:20.369><c> because</c><01:02:20.829><c> there's</c><01:02:21.110><c> no</c><01:02:21.489><c> parallel</c><01:02:21.789><c> up</c><01:02:22.050><c> there</c><01:02:22.329><c> for</c><01:02:22.630><c> the</c><01:02:22.809><c> words</c><01:02:23.050><c> that</c>

No.

Faith<01:02:28.210><c> without</c><01:02:28.829><c> works</c><01:02:29.570><c> is</c><01:02:31.250><c> dead.</c>

01:02:33.789 --> 01:02:37.150
So<01:02:34.130><c> one</c><01:02:34.349><c> man</c><01:02:34.650><c> can't</c><01:02:34.989><c> be</c><01:02:35.250><c> justified</c><01:02:35.710><c> by</c><01:02:35.969><c> his</c><01:02:36.230><c> deeds,</c>

01:02:42.070 --> 01:02:44.530
It's<01:02:42.070><c> all</c><01:02:42.210><c> a</c><01:02:42.389><c> question</c><01:02:42.670><c> of</c><01:02:42.949><c> motive</c><01:02:43.230><c> and</c><01:02:43.590><c> objective.</c>

It's<01:02:45.969><c> all</c><01:02:46.210><c> a</c><01:02:46.269><c> question</c><01:02:46.590><c> of</c><01:02:46.750><c> motive</c><01:02:47.150><c> and</c><01:02:47.429><c> objective.</c>

01:06:41.650 --> 01:06:45.489
I<01:06:41.929><c> believe</c><01:06:42.150><c> in</c><01:06:42.489><c> reverential</c><01:06:43.090><c> awe,</c><01:06:43.730><c> Habakkuk</c><01:06:44.190><c> had</c><01:06:44.429><c> remonstrated</c><01:06:44.949><c> with</c><01:06:45.210><c> God</c>

01:06:45.489 --> 01:06:48.210
because<01:06:45.909><c> he</c><01:06:46.110><c> felt</c><01:06:46.329><c> that</c><01:06:46.710><c> maybe</c><01:06:47.070><c> God</c><01:06:47.309><c> hadn't</c><01:06:47.650><c> considered</c><01:06:47.969><c> the</c>
