00:00:59.899 --> 00:01:05.000
One,<00:01:00.320><c> Abraham</c><00:01:00.859><c> as</c><00:01:01.100><c> a</c><00:01:01.219><c> man</c><00:01:01.359><c> being</c><00:01:01.619><c> justified</c><00:01:02.100><c> by</c><00:01:02.460><c> faith,</c><00:01:03.359><c> and</c><00:01:03.600><c> two,</c><00:01:04.159><c> David</c><00:01:04.540><c> as</c><00:01:04.840><c> a</c>

00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:07.939
the<00:01:06.620><c> deeds</c><00:01:06.760><c> of</c><00:01:06.920><c> the</c><00:01:07.099><c> law.</c>

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.700
And<00:01:08.200><c> we</c><00:01:08.359><c> saw</c><00:01:08.500><c> how</c><00:01:08.739><c> very</c><00:01:09.060><c> graphically,</c><00:01:09.480><c> of</c><00:01:09.680><c> course,</c><00:01:09.920><c> that</c><00:01:10.079><c> operated</c><00:01:10.459><c> in</c>

00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:11.920
both<00:01:10.900><c> cases.</c>

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:17.099
For<00:01:12.280><c> example,</c><00:01:12.719><c> in</c><00:01:12.879><c> Abraham,</c><00:01:13.959><c> his</c><00:01:14.200><c> faith</c><00:01:14.420><c> was</c><00:01:15.280><c> a</c><00:01:15.980><c> faith</c><00:01:16.260><c> in</c><00:01:16.739><c> the</c>

00:01:17.099 --> 00:01:18.500
things<00:01:17.340><c> which</c><00:01:17.579><c> God</c><00:01:17.760><c> had</c><00:01:17.959><c> promised</c><00:01:18.140><c> him,</c>

00:01:18.500 --> 00:01:21.439
which<00:01:18.780><c> were</c><00:01:19.219><c> humanly</c><00:01:20.180><c> impossible.</c>

00:01:21.780 --> 00:01:24.620
And<00:01:21.780><c> as</c><00:01:22.099><c> far</c><00:01:22.340><c> as</c><00:01:22.540><c> David</c><00:01:22.739><c> was</c><00:01:23.000><c> concerned,</c><00:01:23.340><c> of</c><00:01:23.540><c> course,</c><00:01:24.219><c> he</c><00:01:24.359><c> had</c>

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.060
which<00:01:28.379><c> Paul</c><00:01:28.640><c> had</c><00:01:28.859><c> described</c><00:01:29.200><c> that</c><00:01:29.319><c> he</c><00:01:29.379><c> had</c><00:01:29.540><c> been</c><00:01:29.739><c> living</c><00:01:30.079><c> as</c>

00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:35.680
And<00:01:33.980><c> yet</c><00:01:34.140><c> God's</c><00:01:34.680><c> grace</c><00:01:34.920><c> had</c><00:01:35.180><c> forgiven</c><00:01:35.420><c> him.</c>

00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.480
So<00:01:35.920><c> in</c><00:01:36.099><c> both</c><00:01:36.379><c> cases,</c><00:01:37.340><c> as</c><00:01:37.500><c> Paul</c><00:01:37.780><c> rightly</c><00:01:38.180><c> says,</c><00:01:38.719><c> the</c><00:01:38.939><c> flesh</c><00:01:39.180><c> had</c>

And<00:01:41.400><c> there</c><00:01:41.540><c> were</c><00:01:41.840><c> wonderful</c><00:01:42.299><c> examples</c><00:01:42.920><c> of</c><00:01:43.780><c> that</c><00:01:44.019><c> faith</c><00:01:44.359><c> in</c><00:01:44.579><c> action</c><00:01:44.859><c> in</c>

00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:45.819
both<00:01:45.379><c> men.</c>

00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:49.859
Abraham<00:01:46.680><c> having</c><00:01:47.019><c> faith</c><00:01:47.379><c> in</c><00:01:47.599><c> God's</c><00:01:47.900><c> ability</c><00:01:48.280><c> to</c><00:01:48.480><c> do</c><00:01:48.599><c> the</c><00:01:48.780><c> impossible</c><00:01:49.280><c> is</c><00:01:49.459><c> looking</c><00:01:49.659><c> to</c>

the<00:01:50.040><c> stars</c><00:01:50.280><c> of</c>

00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.819
the<00:01:50.540><c> heaven,</c><00:01:51.239><c> and</c><00:01:51.420><c> David</c><00:01:51.700><c> believing</c><00:01:52.379><c> that</c><00:01:52.680><c> God</c><00:01:52.939><c> could</c><00:01:53.260><c> forgive</c><00:01:53.579><c> him,</c>

00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:55.500
despite<00:01:54.260><c> what</c><00:01:54.420><c> he</c><00:01:54.579><c> had</c><00:01:54.719><c> done,</c><00:01:55.340><c> if</c>

00:01:55.500 --> 00:01:56.859
his<00:01:55.719><c> heart</c><00:01:55.939><c> was</c><00:01:56.159><c> right</c><00:01:56.400><c> with</c><00:01:56.560><c> God.</c>

00:01:56.939 --> 00:01:59.579
And<00:01:57.019><c> it</c><00:01:57.060><c> took</c><00:01:57.280><c> a</c><00:01:57.439><c> lot</c><00:01:57.620><c> to</c><00:01:57.840><c> believe</c><00:01:58.079><c> that,</c><00:01:58.579><c> brethren</c><00:01:58.579><c> and</c><00:01:58.819><c> sisters,</c><00:01:59.420><c> and</c>

yet<00:01:59.760><c> David</c><00:02:00.040><c> was</c><00:02:00.280><c> able,</c><00:02:00.560><c> even</c>

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:02.920

00:02:03.260 --> 00:02:04.340
So<00:02:03.420><c> what</c><00:02:03.560><c> do</c><00:02:03.680><c> we</c><00:02:03.840><c> find</c><00:02:04.060><c> there?</c>

00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:09.560
We<00:02:04.500><c> find</c><00:02:04.859><c> this,</c><00:02:05.560><c> that</c><00:02:05.780><c> Abraham</c><00:02:06.239><c> by</c><00:02:06.500><c> his</c><00:02:06.840><c> faith</c><00:02:07.159><c> has</c><00:02:07.640><c> righteousness</c><00:02:08.280><c> imputed,</c>

00:02:14.539 --> 00:02:16.180
That's<00:02:14.860><c> how</c><00:02:15.020><c> Paul</c><00:02:15.259><c> argued.</c>

00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.979

00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:54.659
got.

00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.340
Now<00:02:55.439><c> we</c><00:02:56.020><c> started</c><00:02:56.460><c> on</c><00:02:56.620><c> the</c><00:02:56.740><c> next</c><00:02:57.000><c> section</c><00:02:57.240><c> from</c><00:02:57.479><c> verses</c><00:02:57.800><c> 9</c><00:02:58.139><c> to</c>

00:03:03.300 --> 00:03:05.740

00:03:07.580 --> 00:03:10.960
pick<00:03:07.740><c> it</c><00:03:07.879><c> up</c><00:03:08.020><c> where</c><00:03:08.180><c> we</c><00:03:08.300><c> left</c><00:03:08.520><c> it</c><00:03:08.680><c> off,</c><00:03:09.060><c> just</c><00:03:09.060><c> by</c><00:03:09.300><c> recapitulating</c><00:03:09.939><c> a</c><00:03:10.039><c> little.</c>

00:03:10.979 --> 00:03:16.620
Paul<00:03:11.259><c> says,</c><00:03:12.000><c> then,</c><00:03:12.139><c> cometh</c><00:03:12.479><c> this</c><00:03:13.099><c> blessedness</c><00:03:14.000><c> then</c><00:03:14.439><c> upon</c><00:03:14.719><c> the</c><00:03:15.000><c> circumcision</c><00:03:15.479><c> only,</c><00:03:16.340><c> or</c>

00:03:17.780 --> 00:03:18.800
also.

00:03:18.979 --> 00:03:23.840
Now<00:03:19.419><c> this</c><00:03:19.879><c> blessedness</c><00:03:20.879><c> is</c><00:03:21.439><c> the</c><00:03:21.639><c> blessedness</c><00:03:22.460><c> of</c><00:03:22.879><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:03:23.939 --> 00:03:26.979
And<00:03:24.120><c> I</c><00:03:24.259><c> think</c><00:03:24.439><c> you</c><00:03:24.620><c> remember</c><00:03:25.020><c> last</c><00:03:25.340><c> time</c><00:03:25.580><c> we</c><00:03:25.759><c> spoke</c><00:03:26.060><c> about</c><00:03:26.300><c> the,</c><00:03:26.860><c> one</c>

00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.159
of<00:03:29.300><c> the</c><00:03:29.539><c> Abrahamic</c><00:03:30.099><c> covenant</c><00:03:30.400><c> was</c><00:03:30.979><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:34.400
Can<00:03:32.479><c> you</c><00:03:32.620><c> remember</c><00:03:32.979><c> the</c><00:03:33.240><c> reference</c><00:03:33.460><c> we</c><00:03:33.719><c> quoted</c><00:03:33.939><c> in</c><00:03:34.139><c> the</c><00:03:34.400><c> New</c>

Testament<00:03:34.580><c> which</c><00:03:34.819><c> actually</c><00:03:35.180><c> said</c><00:03:35.460><c> that?</c>

00:03:35.699 --> 00:03:37.659
Oh,<00:03:36.300><c> there</c><00:03:37.360><c> you</c><00:03:37.500><c> are.</c>

00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.439
See,<00:03:37.919><c> they're</c><00:03:38.139><c> every</c><00:03:38.219><c> so</c><00:03:38.479><c> observant,</c><00:03:38.900><c> these</c><00:03:39.139><c> people.</c>

00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:40.729
There's<00:03:39.900><c> no</c><00:03:40.139><c> need</c><00:03:40.300><c> to</c><00:03:40.500><c> recapitulate.</c>

00:03:41.139 --> 00:03:42.759
We<00:03:41.240><c> ought</c><00:03:41.360><c> to</c><00:03:41.379><c> go</c><00:03:41.639><c> straight</c><00:03:41.919><c> off</c><00:03:42.020><c> and</c><00:03:42.120><c> we'll</c><00:03:42.219><c> be</c><00:03:42.319><c> left</c><00:03:42.520><c> off.</c>

00:03:43.020 --> 00:03:43.520
That's<00:03:43.379><c> right.</c>

00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:45.979
In<00:03:43.699><c> Acts</c><00:03:43.879><c> chapter</c><00:03:44.159><c> 3</c><00:03:44.520><c> verses</c><00:03:44.879><c> so</c><00:03:45.180><c> and</c><00:03:45.300><c> so</c><00:03:45.419><c> and</c><00:03:45.520><c> so</c><00:03:45.759><c> and</c><00:03:45.819><c> so.</c>

00:03:46.340 --> 00:03:47.439
Is<00:03:46.400><c> that</c><00:03:46.520><c> 24</c><00:03:46.960><c> was</c><00:03:47.159><c> it?</c>

00:03:47.979 --> 00:03:48.780
Yeah,<00:03:48.280><c> 26.</c>

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:49.280
Yeah.

00:03:49.539 --> 00:03:53.800
Where<00:03:49.719><c> Peter</c><00:03:49.979><c> actually</c><00:03:50.419><c> says</c><00:03:50.740><c> that</c><00:03:50.960><c> one</c><00:03:51.520><c> of</c><00:03:51.659><c> the</c><00:03:51.900><c> great</c><00:03:52.120><c> things</c><00:03:52.439><c> or</c><00:03:52.599><c> the</c><00:03:52.800><c> promises</c><00:03:53.020><c> made</c><00:03:53.240><c> to</c><00:03:53.500><c> Abraham</c>

was<00:03:54.060><c> the</c><00:03:54.479><c> blessedness</c><00:03:54.960><c> of</c><00:03:55.219><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.780
Where<00:03:56.340><c> do</c><00:03:56.460><c> you</c><00:03:56.520><c> think</c><00:03:56.639><c> he</c><00:03:56.840><c> learnt</c><00:03:56.979><c> that</c><00:03:57.240><c> from?</c>

In<00:04:03.280><c> the</c><00:04:03.539><c> story</c><00:04:03.740><c> of</c><00:04:04.000><c> Abraham.</c>

00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:15.759
What<00:04:14.759><c> was</c><00:04:15.039><c> the</c><00:04:15.240><c> circumstances?</c>

00:04:16.139 --> 00:04:17.019
You<00:04:16.339><c> remember?</c>

00:04:18.899 --> 00:04:22.920
The<00:04:19.680><c> Abrahamic</c><00:04:20.459><c> covenant</c><00:04:21.660><c> was</c><00:04:22.079><c> difficult.</c>

00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:27.160
The<00:04:23.319><c> Abrahamic</c><00:04:23.860><c> covenant</c><00:04:24.899><c> was</c><00:04:25.300><c> difficult</c><00:04:25.600><c> for</c><00:04:26.620><c> heritants.</c>

00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:28.120
Yes.

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.759
It<00:04:28.620><c> was</c><00:04:28.779><c> an</c><00:04:28.980><c> impossible</c><00:04:29.480><c> statement.</c>

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.360
It<00:04:31.399><c> was</c><00:04:31.560><c> difficult</c><00:04:31.839><c> for</c><00:04:32.079><c> heritants.</c>

00:04:33.540 --> 00:04:35.860
Yes,<00:04:35.319><c> that's</c><00:04:35.600><c> true.</c>

00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.439
I<00:04:36.060><c> believe</c><00:04:36.339><c> that's</c><00:04:36.699><c> the</c><00:04:36.819><c> basis</c><00:04:37.100><c> of</c><00:04:37.360><c> Peter's</c><00:04:37.779><c> comment.</c>

00:04:38.459 --> 00:04:41.759

a<00:04:41.980><c> state</c><00:04:42.120><c> of</c><00:04:42.360><c> humanity</c>

00:04:42.740 --> 00:04:45.139

00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.199
Now,<00:05:29.519><c> that's</c><00:05:29.759><c> where</c><00:05:30.000><c> I</c><00:05:30.160><c> believe</c><00:05:30.500><c> the</c><00:05:31.279><c> principle</c><00:05:31.639><c> came</c><00:05:31.980><c> from,</c>

00:05:34.540 --> 00:05:37.220
Now,<00:05:34.779><c> Paul's</c><00:05:35.019><c> point</c><00:05:35.319><c> about</c><00:05:35.600><c> circumcision</c><00:05:36.180><c> is</c><00:05:36.420><c> this.</c>

But,<00:05:50.819><c> you</c><00:05:50.839><c> know,</c><00:05:51.060><c> when</c><00:05:51.199><c> you</c><00:05:51.379><c> argue</c><00:05:51.660><c> about</c><00:05:51.899><c> historical</c><00:05:52.519><c> things,</c><00:05:53.000><c> that</c>

00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.639
Paul<00:06:01.939><c> argues</c><00:06:02.360><c> that</c><00:06:02.759><c> when</c><00:06:03.040><c> did</c><00:06:03.300><c> Abraham</c><00:06:03.620><c> receive</c><00:06:04.019><c> that</c><00:06:04.319><c> statement?</c>

00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:07.519
He<00:06:04.899><c> believed</c><00:06:05.379><c> Yahweh</c><00:06:05.879><c> and</c><00:06:06.100><c> he</c><00:06:06.379><c> counted</c><00:06:06.500><c> it</c><00:06:06.660><c> to</c><00:06:06.740><c> him</c><00:06:06.899><c> for</c><00:06:07.139><c> righteousness.</c>

00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:11.240
Before.

00:06:11.579 --> 00:06:14.860
And<00:06:11.800><c> Paul</c><00:06:12.000><c> takes</c><00:06:12.319><c> that</c><00:06:12.779><c> as</c><00:06:13.079><c> the</c><00:06:13.319><c> inspired</c><00:06:14.019><c> commentary</c><00:06:14.560><c> upon</c>

Abraham's<00:06:15.600><c> faith.</c>

00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.420
And,<00:06:16.339><c> therefore,</c><00:06:16.740><c> it</c><00:06:16.860><c> was</c><00:06:17.040><c> something</c><00:06:17.240><c> like</c><00:06:17.680><c> 14</c><00:06:18.600><c> to</c><00:06:18.819><c> 15</c><00:06:19.240><c> years</c><00:06:19.620><c> before.</c>

00:06:20.660 --> 00:06:23.459
If<00:06:20.779><c> you</c><00:06:20.899><c> remember</c><00:06:21.220><c> correctly,</c><00:06:21.759><c> Genesis</c><00:06:22.160><c> 16</c><00:06:22.800><c> deals</c><00:06:23.079><c> with</c><00:06:23.319><c> the</c>

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.540
So<00:06:30.339><c> it</c><00:06:30.339><c> was</c><00:06:30.480><c> at</c><00:06:30.519><c> least</c><00:06:30.860><c> 13,</c><00:06:31.240><c> if</c><00:06:31.360><c> not</c><00:06:31.600><c> 14,</c><00:06:31.939><c> 15</c><00:06:32.339><c> years</c><00:06:32.779><c> after</c><00:06:33.439><c> the</c>

00:06:37.939 --> 00:06:41.139
So<00:06:38.199><c> consequently</c><00:06:38.480><c> Paul</c><00:06:38.860><c> argues,</c><00:06:39.620><c> therefore,</c><00:06:39.920><c> that</c><00:06:40.079><c> circumcision</c><00:06:40.480><c> was</c><00:06:40.800><c> not</c>

And<00:09:10.379><c> that</c><00:09:10.600><c> clay</c><00:09:10.879><c> would</c><00:09:11.059><c> then</c><00:09:11.320><c> become</c><00:09:11.600><c> hardened.</c>

00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.360

God<00:09:42.980><c> gave</c><00:09:43.340><c> Abraham</c>

Now<00:09:49.600><c> notice</c><00:09:49.899><c> what</c><00:09:50.179><c> Genesis</c><00:09:50.600><c> 15</c><00:09:51.159><c> says</c><00:09:51.840><c> and</c><00:09:53.840><c> how</c><00:09:54.100><c> it</c><00:09:54.279><c> says</c><00:09:54.519><c> it.</c>

00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:06.659
In<00:09:56.659><c> the</c><00:09:56.799><c> 15th</c><00:09:57.379><c> chapter</c><00:09:57.620><c> of</c><00:09:57.759><c> Genesis,</c><00:09:58.500><c> in</c><00:09:58.659><c> verse</c><00:09:59.120><c> 18,</c><00:10:02.059><c> in</c><00:10:02.159><c> the</c><00:10:02.539><c> same</c><00:10:02.840><c> day</c><00:10:04.820><c> Yahweh</c><00:10:06.240><c> made</c><00:10:06.460><c> a</c>

00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.059
Now<00:10:09.759><c> isn't</c><00:10:10.120><c> that</c><00:10:10.980><c> significant?</c>

00:10:12.340 --> 00:10:18.960
In<00:10:12.519><c> the</c><00:10:12.960><c> same</c><00:10:13.340><c> day,</c><00:10:15.320><c> so</c><00:10:15.600><c> Paul</c><00:10:15.899><c> had</c><00:10:16.200><c> a</c><00:10:16.480><c> historical</c><00:10:17.179><c> starting</c><00:10:17.539><c> point,</c><00:10:17.879><c> because</c><00:10:18.200><c> there</c><00:10:18.539><c> it</c><00:10:18.679><c> is.</c>

00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:23.220
It<00:10:19.340><c> didn't</c><00:10:19.620><c> say</c><00:10:19.899><c> that</c><00:10:20.100><c> Yahweh</c><00:10:20.779><c> made</c><00:10:21.000><c> a</c><00:10:21.220><c> covenant</c><00:10:21.360><c> with</c><00:10:21.620><c> Abraham</c><00:10:21.919><c> and</c><00:10:22.379><c> leave</c><00:10:22.580><c> someone</c><00:10:22.940><c> to</c>

00:10:23.220 --> 00:10:24.840
infer<00:10:23.679><c> that</c><00:10:24.000><c> it</c><00:10:24.120><c> was</c><00:10:24.259><c> later</c><00:10:24.539><c> on.</c>

00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:25.960
It<00:10:25.019><c> didn't</c><00:10:25.299><c> say</c><00:10:25.600><c> that.</c>

00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.659
It<00:10:26.299><c> said</c><00:10:26.500><c> in</c><00:10:26.639><c> the</c><00:10:27.080><c> same</c><00:10:27.419><c> day.</c>

00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:33.639
So<00:10:29.860><c> Paul</c><00:10:30.179><c> knew</c><00:10:30.740><c> that</c><00:10:31.080><c> 14</c><00:10:31.340><c> odd</c><00:10:31.539><c> years</c><00:10:31.779><c> before</c><00:10:32.460><c> there</c><00:10:32.700><c> it</c><00:10:32.899><c> was.</c>

00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.179
And<00:10:34.259><c> I</c><00:10:34.679><c> believe</c><00:10:34.899><c> there's</c><00:10:35.200><c> his</c><00:10:35.399><c> warrant</c><00:10:35.620><c> for</c><00:10:35.899><c> it.</c>

00:10:36.259 --> 00:10:38.720
And<00:10:36.379><c> I</c><00:10:36.559><c> believe</c><00:10:36.720><c> that's</c><00:10:36.980><c> why</c><00:10:37.179><c> it</c><00:10:37.360><c> says</c><00:10:37.440><c> it</c><00:10:37.600><c> like</c><00:10:37.840><c> that,</c><00:10:38.159><c> in</c><00:10:38.399><c> the</c>

00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:39.840
same<00:10:39.000><c> day.</c>

00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:42.700
And<00:10:40.179><c> it</c><00:10:40.519><c> says</c><00:10:40.620><c> it</c><00:10:40.799><c> for</c><00:10:40.919><c> that</c><00:10:41.100><c> reason,</c><00:10:41.440><c> I</c><00:10:41.639><c> believe,</c><00:10:42.220><c> because</c>

00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:44.620
there<00:10:43.259><c> the</c><00:10:43.539><c> covenant</c><00:10:43.759><c> was</c><00:10:44.200><c> made,</c>

00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.720
and<00:10:45.120><c> also</c><00:10:45.519><c> because,</c><00:10:46.000><c> brethren</c><00:10:46.200><c> and</c><00:10:46.399><c> sisters,</c><00:10:46.960><c> it</c><00:10:47.120><c> was</c><00:10:47.340><c> on</c><00:10:47.559><c> the</c>

00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:53.279
and<00:10:50.220><c> on</c><00:10:50.379><c> the</c><00:10:50.539><c> basis</c><00:10:50.820><c> of</c><00:10:51.100><c> God's</c><00:10:52.120><c> sacrifice</c><00:10:52.220><c> that</c><00:10:52.659><c> the</c><00:10:52.919><c> terms</c><00:10:53.100><c> of</c>

the<00:10:53.480><c> covenant</c><00:10:53.659><c> were</c><00:10:54.019><c> met.</c>

00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.720
And<00:10:54.700><c> therefore</c><00:10:55.720><c> linking</c><00:10:56.279><c> Abraham's</c><00:10:57.120><c> faith</c><00:10:57.279><c> with</c><00:10:57.559><c> God's</c><00:10:58.100><c> sacrifice</c><00:10:58.519><c> in</c>

00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.620
the<00:10:58.980><c> same</c><00:10:59.299><c> day</c><00:10:59.919><c> he</c><00:11:00.240><c> made</c><00:11:00.480><c> that</c><00:11:00.799><c> covenant.</c>

00:11:02.340 --> 00:11:05.500
Now<00:11:02.500><c> there,</c><00:11:02.820><c> I</c><00:11:03.019><c> believe,</c><00:11:03.700><c> is</c><00:11:03.860><c> the</c><00:11:04.039><c> point</c><00:11:04.259><c> that</c><00:11:04.600><c> is</c><00:11:04.799><c> being</c><00:11:05.179><c> made.</c>

00:11:05.899 --> 00:11:07.759
We've<00:11:06.019><c> just</c><00:11:06.120><c> seen</c><00:11:06.279><c> young</c><00:11:06.500><c> Robert</c><00:11:06.799><c> read,</c><00:11:07.159><c> it</c><00:11:07.179><c> wasn't</c><00:11:07.379><c> long</c><00:11:07.559><c> ago</c>

00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:14.299
It<00:11:11.419><c> was</c><00:11:11.580><c> on</c><00:11:11.799><c> that</c><00:11:11.940><c> day</c><00:11:12.200><c> that</c><00:11:12.399><c> Robert's</c><00:11:12.980><c> faith</c><00:11:13.340><c> allied</c><00:11:13.840><c> itself</c>

Very,<00:13:47.700><c> very</c><00:13:48.100><c> carefully</c><00:13:48.539><c> said</c><00:13:48.720><c> that</c><00:13:48.980><c> is.</c>

00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.960
Because<00:13:50.179><c> literal</c><00:13:50.559><c> circumcision</c><00:13:51.100><c> affects</c><00:13:51.659><c> one</c><00:13:52.179><c> part</c><00:13:52.440><c> of</c><00:13:52.580><c> the</c><00:13:52.720><c> body.</c>

00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.240
But<00:13:53.559><c> spiritual</c><00:13:54.039><c> circumcision</c><00:13:54.779><c> in</c><00:13:55.200><c> Paul's</c><00:13:55.659><c> understanding</c><00:13:55.980><c> is</c>

00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:57.960
a<00:13:56.519><c> complete</c><00:13:57.340><c> perfection.</c>

00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:59.519
Now<00:13:58.200><c> who's</c><00:13:58.379><c> done</c><00:13:58.639><c> that?</c>

00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:02.899
Who's<00:14:00.200><c> ever</c><00:14:00.360><c> been</c><00:14:00.580><c> perfect?</c><00:14:00.919><c> We</c><00:14:01.259><c> know</c><00:14:01.480><c> the</c><00:14:01.659><c> answer.</c><00:14:01.940><c> Jesus</c><00:14:02.379><c> Christ.</c>

00:14:02.899 --> 00:14:05.799
Now<00:14:03.480><c> then,</c><00:14:03.820><c> brethren</c><00:14:03.940><c> and</c><00:14:04.179><c> sisters,</c><00:14:04.500><c> when</c><00:14:04.879><c> God</c><00:14:05.259><c> took</c><00:14:05.559><c> him</c><00:14:05.659><c> to</c>

that<00:14:06.059><c> cross,</c>

00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.019
Paul<00:14:08.159><c> says</c><00:14:08.720><c> he</c><00:14:08.980><c> was</c><00:14:09.399><c> circumcised</c><00:14:10.059><c> under</c><00:14:10.259><c> the</c><00:14:10.600><c> world,</c>

and<00:14:11.299><c> the</c><00:14:11.600><c> world</c><00:14:11.980><c> was</c><00:14:12.399><c> circumcised</c><00:14:12.860><c> under</c><00:14:13.120><c> him.</c>

00:14:13.700 --> 00:14:17.259
What<00:14:13.919><c> was</c><00:14:14.259><c> that</c><00:14:14.580><c> but</c><00:14:14.980><c> a</c><00:14:15.379><c> seal</c><00:14:15.779><c> of</c><00:14:16.220><c> the</c><00:14:16.399><c> righteousness</c><00:14:16.799><c> of</c><00:14:17.080><c> the</c>

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:19.840
Wasn't<00:14:19.139><c> it?</c>

00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.940
There<00:14:20.419><c> was</c><00:14:20.639><c> the</c><00:14:20.899><c> circumcision</c><00:14:21.340><c> when</c><00:14:21.659><c> actually</c><00:14:22.139><c> his</c><00:14:22.399><c> body</c><00:14:22.720><c> was</c>

00:14:22.940 --> 00:14:24.000

00:14:27.539 --> 00:14:30.080
But<00:14:27.799><c> was</c><00:14:28.000><c> it</c><00:14:28.080><c> on</c><00:14:28.220><c> that</c><00:14:28.500><c> cross</c><00:14:28.879><c> that</c><00:14:29.320><c> he</c><00:14:29.440><c> lived</c><00:14:29.639><c> that</c><00:14:29.860><c> life?</c>

00:14:30.100 --> 00:14:31.600
No,<00:14:30.399><c> that</c><00:14:30.580><c> had</c><00:14:30.740><c> been</c><00:14:30.899><c> lived</c><00:14:31.080><c> before.</c>

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.919
And<00:14:32.240><c> there</c><00:14:32.600><c> on</c><00:14:32.820><c> that</c><00:14:33.039><c> cross</c><00:14:33.240><c> was</c><00:14:33.600><c> the</c><00:14:33.840><c> seal</c><00:14:34.080><c> of</c><00:14:34.340><c> the</c><00:14:34.519><c> righteousness</c><00:14:34.919><c> of</c><00:14:35.139><c> the</c><00:14:35.320><c> faith</c><00:14:35.539><c> which</c><00:14:35.720><c> he</c>

had<00:14:36.179><c> already.</c>

00:14:36.980 --> 00:14:40.220
And<00:14:37.139><c> there</c><00:14:37.419><c> was</c><00:14:37.679><c> the</c><00:14:37.879><c> circumcision</c><00:14:38.259><c> of</c><00:14:38.419><c> Christ</c><00:14:38.700><c> in</c><00:14:38.879><c> its</c><00:14:39.120><c> totality.</c>

00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:43.320
It<00:14:40.779><c> wasn't</c><00:14:41.080><c> the</c><00:14:41.299><c> act</c><00:14:41.460><c> in</c><00:14:41.620><c> itself</c><00:14:42.080><c> that</c><00:14:42.440><c> saved</c><00:14:42.759><c> mankind.</c>

00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.700
It<00:14:43.759><c> was</c><00:14:43.980><c> the</c><00:14:44.240><c> life</c><00:14:44.539><c> that</c><00:14:44.820><c> preceded</c><00:14:45.320><c> it.</c>

00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:46.679
Same<00:14:46.039><c> with</c><00:14:46.299><c> Abraham.</c>

00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.320
It<00:14:47.259><c> wasn't</c><00:14:47.539><c> the</c><00:14:47.720><c> act</c><00:14:47.940><c> of</c><00:14:48.200><c> circumcision</c><00:14:48.620><c> which</c><00:14:48.779><c> he</c><00:14:49.019><c> received</c>

00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:52.019
later<00:14:49.679><c> on</c><00:14:49.940><c> in</c><00:14:50.120><c> Genesis</c><00:14:50.419><c> 17</c><00:14:50.860><c> that</c><00:14:51.179><c> was</c><00:14:51.399><c> his</c><00:14:51.639><c> righteousness.</c>

00:14:52.179 --> 00:14:54.519
It<00:14:52.399><c> was</c><00:14:52.659><c> what</c><00:14:52.919><c> that</c><00:14:53.200><c> went</c><00:14:53.399><c> before.</c>

00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.779
And<00:14:55.039><c> that's</c><00:14:55.360><c> Paul's</c><00:14:55.539><c> argument</c><00:14:56.039><c> about</c><00:14:56.519><c> the</c><00:14:56.700><c> Lord</c><00:14:56.899><c> Jesus</c><00:14:57.320><c> Christ.</c>

00:14:58.139 --> 00:15:00.600
Rather<00:14:58.340><c> wonderful,</c><00:14:58.759><c> that</c><00:14:59.000><c> is,</c><00:14:59.519><c> when</c><00:14:59.840><c> you</c><00:15:00.019><c> think</c><00:15:00.259><c> about</c><00:15:00.480><c> it.</c>

00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:02.799
And<00:15:00.779><c> I</c><00:15:00.899><c> believe</c><00:15:01.299><c> that</c><00:15:01.519><c> the</c><00:15:01.679><c> apostle's</c><00:15:02.179><c> argument</c><00:15:02.360><c> there,</c><00:15:02.620><c> of</c>

course,<00:15:03.179><c> also</c><00:15:03.519><c> is</c><00:15:03.779><c> subtly</c><00:15:04.100><c> entrenched</c><00:15:04.820><c> in</c><00:15:05.139><c> the</c><00:15:05.320><c> history</c><00:15:05.620><c> of</c><00:15:05.879><c> Abraham.</c>

00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.019
Now<00:15:07.919><c> then,</c><00:15:08.620><c> coming</c><00:15:08.860><c> back</c><00:15:09.200><c> then</c><00:15:09.460><c> to</c><00:15:09.720><c> the</c><00:15:10.159><c> fourth</c><00:15:10.399><c> chapter</c><00:15:10.779><c> of</c>

Romans,<00:15:12.059><c> notice</c><00:15:12.399><c> this.</c>

00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.139
Let's<00:15:13.080><c> read</c><00:15:13.220><c> it</c><00:15:13.480><c> carefully</c><00:15:13.659><c> together</c><00:15:14.100><c> again.</c>

00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:17.840
Remember<00:15:16.419><c> what</c><00:15:16.600><c> I</c><00:15:16.759><c> said</c><00:15:16.879><c> about</c><00:15:17.179><c> circumcision.</c>

00:15:18.059 --> 00:15:21.279
It<00:15:18.080><c> means</c><00:15:18.340><c> it</c><00:15:18.620><c> has</c><00:15:18.960><c> many,</c><00:15:20.159><c> many</c><00:15:20.159><c> significances</c><00:15:20.639><c> in</c><00:15:20.820><c> the</c><00:15:21.000><c> scripture.</c>

00:15:21.460 --> 00:15:23.620
One<00:15:21.700><c> which</c><00:15:21.879><c> I</c><00:15:22.120><c> mentioned</c><00:15:22.320><c> before,</c><00:15:22.679><c> a</c><00:15:22.960><c> primary</c><00:15:23.320><c> one,</c>

00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:28.039
which<00:15:24.240><c> the</c><00:15:24.559><c> very</c><00:15:24.759><c> act</c><00:15:25.000><c> itself</c><00:15:25.559><c> as</c><00:15:26.259><c> a</c><00:15:26.960><c> surgical</c><00:15:27.299><c> act,</c><00:15:27.639><c> of</c><00:15:27.860><c> course,</c>

00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.500
made<00:15:28.320><c> it</c><00:15:28.600><c> impossible</c><00:15:29.120><c> for</c><00:15:29.399><c> the</c><00:15:29.539><c> moment</c><00:15:29.759><c> for</c><00:15:30.000><c> a</c><00:15:30.139><c> man</c><00:15:30.360><c> to</c><00:15:30.679><c> father</c><00:15:30.960><c> children.</c>

00:15:31.860 --> 00:15:33.120
So<00:15:31.940><c> you</c><00:15:32.019><c> look</c><00:15:32.159><c> at</c><00:15:32.279><c> verse</c><00:15:32.500><c> 11.</c>

00:15:33.500 --> 00:15:34.539
I'll<00:15:33.600><c> read</c><00:15:33.720><c> it</c><00:15:33.899><c> with</c><00:15:34.120><c> you.</c>

00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:36.519
And<00:15:34.960><c> you</c><00:15:35.059><c> notice</c><00:15:35.240><c> what</c><00:15:35.419><c> it</c><00:15:35.639><c> says.</c>

00:15:36.820 --> 00:15:40.320
And<00:15:36.820><c> he</c><00:15:36.960><c> received</c><00:15:37.600><c> the</c><00:15:38.000><c> sign</c><00:15:38.440><c> of</c><00:15:39.019><c> circumcision,</c>

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:44.940
yet<00:15:43.679><c> being</c><00:15:44.019><c> uncircumcised,</c>

00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:49.259
that<00:15:45.080><c> he</c><00:15:45.179><c> might</c><00:15:45.460><c> be</c><00:15:45.720><c> the</c><00:15:46.059><c> father</c><00:15:46.639><c> of</c><00:15:47.720><c> all</c><00:15:47.980><c> them</c><00:15:48.159><c> that</c><00:15:48.480><c> believed.</c>

00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:51.159
See<00:15:49.600><c> the</c><00:15:49.779><c> way</c><00:15:49.980><c> Paul</c><00:15:50.240><c> argues?</c>

00:15:51.419 --> 00:15:54.399
He's<00:15:51.720><c> talking</c><00:15:51.899><c> about</c><00:15:52.220><c> circumcision,</c><00:15:52.980><c> that</c><00:15:53.120><c> he</c><00:15:53.179><c> might</c><00:15:53.419><c> be</c><00:15:53.639><c> the</c><00:15:54.000><c> father.</c>

00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.379
In<00:15:54.799><c> other</c><00:15:55.000><c> words,</c><00:15:55.480><c> if</c><00:15:55.539><c> he</c><00:15:55.679><c> hadn't</c><00:15:56.000><c> been</c><00:15:56.419><c> circumcised,</c><00:15:56.919><c> he</c><00:15:56.919><c> wouldn't</c><00:15:57.159><c> be</c>

00:15:57.379 --> 00:15:57.899
the<00:15:57.600><c> father.</c>

00:15:58.220 --> 00:15:58.679
Why?

00:15:59.019 --> 00:16:03.419
Because<00:15:59.379><c> circumcision</c><00:15:59.940><c> was</c><00:16:00.220><c> a</c><00:16:00.399><c> sign</c><00:16:00.519><c> in</c><00:16:00.700><c> this</c><00:16:00.899><c> direction</c><00:16:01.240><c> also</c><00:16:01.860><c> that</c><00:16:02.200><c> Abraham's</c><00:16:02.879><c> fatherhood</c><00:16:03.179><c> was</c>

00:16:03.419 --> 00:16:04.860
not<00:16:03.700><c> natural.</c>

00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:08.519
It<00:16:06.240><c> was</c><00:16:06.679><c> a</c><00:16:06.919><c> clear</c><00:16:07.279><c> sign</c><00:16:07.580><c> that</c><00:16:07.679><c> it</c><00:16:07.759><c> was</c><00:16:07.940><c> not</c><00:16:08.120><c> natural,</c>

00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.539
that<00:16:08.879><c> he</c><00:16:08.960><c> might</c><00:16:09.179><c> be</c><00:16:09.419><c> the</c><00:16:09.899><c> father</c><00:16:10.200><c> of</c><00:16:10.440><c> all</c><00:16:10.639><c> them</c><00:16:10.759><c> that</c><00:16:11.360><c> believed,</c><00:16:12.360><c> that</c>

00:16:12.539 --> 00:16:13.720
have<00:16:12.759><c> faith.</c>

00:16:13.899 --> 00:16:16.899
So<00:16:14.100><c> we</c><00:16:14.360><c> see</c><00:16:14.639><c> therefore</c><00:16:15.059><c> that</c><00:16:15.320><c> Abraham's</c><00:16:15.759><c> children</c><00:16:16.460><c> are</c><00:16:16.799><c> born</c>

00:16:16.899 --> 00:16:17.879
not<00:16:17.139><c> according</c><00:16:17.379><c> to</c><00:16:17.519><c> the</c><00:16:17.740><c> flesh,</c>

00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:20.399
but<00:16:18.059><c> according</c><00:16:18.279><c> to</c><00:16:18.460><c> the</c><00:16:18.659><c> spirit</c><00:16:18.899><c> word,</c><00:16:19.500><c> when</c><00:16:19.620><c> it</c><00:16:19.940><c> conceived</c>

00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:21.360
in<00:16:20.679><c> our</c><00:16:21.039><c> heart,</c>

00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.659
the<00:16:21.639><c> power</c><00:16:21.919><c> of</c><00:16:22.159><c> faith</c><00:16:22.600><c> which</c><00:16:23.059><c> grows</c><00:16:23.440><c> to</c><00:16:23.659><c> maturity</c><00:16:24.039><c> in</c><00:16:24.299><c> works,</c>

00:16:25.059 --> 00:16:27.120
and<00:16:25.059><c> we</c><00:16:25.259><c> become</c><00:16:25.539><c> the</c><00:16:25.840><c> sons</c><00:16:26.120><c> and</c><00:16:26.259><c> daughters</c><00:16:26.539><c> of</c><00:16:26.740><c> Abraham.</c>

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:28.480
That's<00:16:27.519><c> not</c><00:16:27.720><c> done</c><00:16:27.940><c> naturally.</c>

00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:29.899
It's<00:16:29.139><c> done</c><00:16:29.460><c> spiritually.</c>

00:16:30.139 --> 00:16:33.580
And<00:16:30.139><c> so</c><00:16:30.620><c> Paul's</c><00:16:31.460><c> fatherhood</c><00:16:31.779><c> here</c><00:16:32.059><c> is</c><00:16:32.320><c> immediately</c><00:16:32.700><c> introduced</c><00:16:33.240><c> as</c><00:16:33.440><c> you</c>

00:16:33.580 --> 00:16:34.720
talk<00:16:33.759><c> about</c><00:16:34.039><c> circumcision.</c>

00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:36.460
It's<00:16:35.279><c> rather</c><00:16:35.440><c> wonderful.</c>

00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:38.700
Ah,<00:16:37.039><c> but</c><00:16:37.220><c> look</c><00:16:37.320><c> at</c><00:16:37.480><c> this.</c>

00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:40.860
This<00:16:39.799><c> is</c><00:16:40.179><c> tremendous.</c>

00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:42.320
Verse<00:16:41.340><c> 12.</c>

00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.240

00:16:45.299 --> 00:16:48.379

00:16:48.379 --> 00:16:49.519
not<00:16:48.659><c> circumcised,</c>

00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:53.240
that<00:16:50.000><c> righteousness</c><00:16:50.500><c> might</c><00:16:50.919><c> be</c><00:16:51.159><c> imputed</c><00:16:51.419><c> unto</c><00:16:51.639><c> them</c><00:16:51.940><c> also,</c>

00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.220

00:16:59.500 --> 00:17:01.779

00:17:02.179 --> 00:17:06.680
The<00:17:02.320><c> father</c><00:17:02.799><c> of</c><00:17:03.200><c> circumcision</c><00:17:03.799><c> who</c><00:17:04.019><c> are</c><00:17:04.299><c> not</c><00:17:04.599><c> merely</c><00:17:05.160><c> circumcised.</c>

00:17:07.099 --> 00:17:11.500

00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:39.000

00:19:57.220 --> 00:19:59.099
That's<00:19:57.559><c> what</c><00:19:57.779><c> Moses</c><00:19:58.099><c> was</c><00:19:58.279><c> trying</c><00:19:58.480><c> to</c><00:19:58.660><c> tell</c><00:19:58.799><c> them,</c>

00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.359

00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:09.079
Or<00:20:07.579><c> as</c><00:20:07.759><c> Paul</c><00:20:07.940><c> put</c><00:20:08.119><c> it</c><00:20:08.220><c> to</c><00:20:08.339><c> the</c><00:20:08.500><c> Philippians,</c>

00:20:09.420 --> 00:20:13.579

00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.920
So<00:20:14.660><c> Paul</c><00:20:14.900><c> claimed</c><00:20:15.279><c> to</c><00:20:15.559><c> be</c><00:20:15.900><c> the</c><00:20:16.240><c> circumcision</c><00:20:16.759><c> of</c><00:20:16.960><c> God.</c>

00:20:21.579 --> 00:20:24.099
But<00:20:21.759><c> he</c><00:20:22.019><c> still</c><00:20:22.279><c> claimed</c><00:20:22.500><c> to</c><00:20:22.680><c> be</c><00:20:22.779><c> the</c><00:20:23.019><c> circumcision</c><00:20:23.420><c> of</c><00:20:23.579><c> God</c><00:20:23.779><c> on</c>

00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:44.799
And<00:31:43.059><c> God</c><00:31:43.339><c> sees</c><00:31:43.640><c> that</c><00:31:43.859><c> as</c><00:31:44.019><c> an</c><00:31:44.059><c> act</c><00:31:44.279><c> of</c><00:31:44.559><c> faith.</c>

00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:46.940
We<00:31:45.299><c> wouldn't</c><00:31:45.579><c> do</c><00:31:45.799><c> it</c><00:31:45.920><c> if</c><00:31:46.039><c> we</c><00:31:46.119><c> didn't</c><00:31:46.339><c> believe</c><00:31:46.720><c> it.</c>

00:31:46.940 --> 00:31:49.539

00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:55.900
That's<00:31:54.180><c> a</c><00:31:54.240><c> step</c><00:31:54.440><c> going</c><00:31:54.700><c> into</c><00:31:54.900><c> the</c><00:31:55.099><c> land.</c>

00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:11.200
Look<00:32:10.700><c> at</c><00:32:10.880><c> me.</c>

00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:12.799
And<00:32:11.660><c> it's</c><00:32:12.140><c> everywhere.</c>

00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.500
There's<00:32:13.279><c> need</c><00:32:13.559><c> and</c><00:32:13.799><c> there's</c><00:32:14.079><c> opportunity</c><00:32:14.559><c> for</c><00:32:14.940><c> footprints</c>

00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:16.900

00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:19.059
Now,<00:32:17.339><c> we're</c><00:32:17.759><c> fooled</c><00:32:17.960><c> if</c><00:32:18.099><c> we</c><00:32:18.200><c> don't</c><00:32:18.319><c> take</c><00:32:18.539><c> that</c><00:32:18.660><c> opportunity.</c>

00:32:19.259 --> 00:32:20.460

00:32:23.019 --> 00:32:26.640
Now,<00:32:23.200><c> I'm</c><00:32:23.339><c> not</c><00:32:23.519><c> suggesting</c><00:32:24.019><c> any</c><00:32:24.380><c> more</c><00:32:24.539><c> than</c><00:32:24.779><c> Paul</c><00:32:25.000><c> is</c><00:32:25.440><c> that</c><00:32:26.019><c> we've</c><00:32:26.420><c> got</c><00:32:26.480><c> to</c>

00:32:28.140 --> 00:32:29.579
That's<00:32:28.400><c> not</c><00:32:28.599><c> what</c><00:32:28.759><c> Abraham</c><00:32:29.039><c> was</c><00:32:29.319><c> told.</c>

00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:31.200
God<00:32:30.059><c> said,</c><00:32:30.299><c> I</c><00:32:30.460><c> will</c><00:32:30.680><c> give</c><00:32:30.859><c> it</c><00:32:31.000><c> to</c><00:32:31.099><c> you.</c>

And<00:33:01.940><c> that</c><00:33:02.039><c> was</c><00:33:02.299><c> the</c><00:33:02.759><c> boundaries</c><00:33:03.019><c> of</c><00:33:03.220><c> the</c><00:33:03.359><c> land.</c>

00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:07.240
And<00:33:04.119><c> Abraham's</c><00:33:04.700><c> footprints</c><00:33:04.980><c> were</c><00:33:05.319><c> there</c><00:33:05.740><c> from</c><00:33:06.220><c> north</c><00:33:06.599><c> to</c><00:33:06.880><c> south.</c>

00:33:07.579 --> 00:33:08.980
They<00:33:07.720><c> were</c><00:33:07.960><c> actually</c><00:33:08.380><c> in</c><00:33:08.539><c> the</c><00:33:08.720><c> earth.</c>

And<00:33:09.440><c> he</c><00:33:09.640><c> walked</c><00:33:09.940><c> all</c><00:33:10.180><c> that</c><00:33:10.420><c> way.</c>

00:33:10.740 --> 00:33:12.319
That<00:33:11.480><c> was</c><00:33:11.700><c> his</c><00:33:11.960><c> faith.</c>

00:33:12.819 --> 00:33:15.859
And<00:33:12.819><c> God,</c><00:33:13.079><c> when</c><00:33:13.240><c> he</c><00:33:13.420><c> called</c><00:33:13.599><c> him</c><00:33:13.759><c> to</c><00:33:13.799><c> come</c><00:33:13.940><c> out</c><00:33:14.019><c> of</c><00:33:14.079><c> that</c><00:33:14.240><c> country,</c><00:33:14.660><c> he</c><00:33:14.700><c> went</c><00:33:14.859><c> out</c><00:33:15.119><c> not</c><00:33:15.279><c> knowing</c><00:33:15.559><c> whether</c><00:33:15.740><c> he</c>

00:33:16.299 --> 00:33:18.259

00:33:18.380 --> 00:33:20.180
Now,<00:33:18.579><c> we've</c><00:33:18.859><c> got</c><00:33:18.900><c> to</c><00:33:19.059><c> do</c><00:33:19.160><c> some</c><00:33:19.359><c> walking.</c>

00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:26.180

when<00:45:47.760><c> we're</c><00:45:48.000><c> told</c><00:45:48.219><c> that</c><00:45:48.639><c> ten</c><00:45:48.880><c> men</c><00:45:49.699><c> out</c><00:45:50.280><c> of</c><00:45:50.679><c> all</c><00:45:51.039><c> the</c><00:45:51.280><c> nations.</c>

00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:56.719
There's<00:45:54.619><c> the</c><00:45:54.800><c> interpretation</c><00:45:55.300><c> of</c><00:45:55.480><c> the</c><00:45:55.579><c> number</c><00:45:55.780><c> ten.</c>

00:46:00.019 --> 00:46:01.579
So<00:46:00.219><c> ten</c><00:46:00.320><c> is</c><00:46:00.500><c> the</c><00:46:00.800><c> aggregate</c><00:46:01.219><c> number.</c>

00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:03.440

00:46:28.260 --> 00:46:31.659
And<00:46:28.400><c> when</c><00:46:29.199><c> Joshua</c><00:46:29.639><c> came,</c><00:46:30.460><c> and</c><00:46:30.659><c> the</c><00:46:30.820><c> people</c><00:46:31.139><c> of</c><00:46:31.280><c> Israel</c><00:46:31.460><c> in</c><00:46:31.599><c> the</c>

00:46:43.980 --> 00:46:47.260
So<00:46:44.199><c> here,</c><00:46:44.679><c> in</c><00:46:44.800><c> Genesis</c><00:46:45.159><c> 15,</c><00:46:46.019><c> are</c><00:46:46.199><c> the</c><00:46:46.420><c> confines</c><00:46:46.840><c> of</c><00:46:46.980><c> the</c><00:46:47.000><c> then</c>

00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:53.559
Now<00:46:51.519><c> Paul</c><00:46:51.699><c> said</c><00:46:51.960><c> he's</c><00:46:52.119><c> going</c><00:46:52.260><c> to</c><00:46:52.360><c> be</c><00:46:52.460><c> the</c><00:46:52.860><c> heir</c><00:46:53.059><c> of</c><00:46:53.199><c> the</c><00:46:53.380><c> world.</c>

00:46:53.860 --> 00:46:55.199

00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:01.260
Because<00:46:59.000><c> everywhere</c><00:46:59.400><c> else</c><00:46:59.619><c> we</c><00:46:59.760><c> learn</c><00:46:59.940><c> about</c><00:47:00.139><c> a</c><00:47:00.320><c> specific</c><00:47:00.679><c> territory,</c>

because<00:48:04.739><c> he</c><00:48:05.000><c> owns</c><00:48:05.179><c> the</c><00:48:05.480><c> place,</c><00:48:07.139><c> doesn't</c><00:48:07.420><c> he?</c>

00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:10.440
I<00:48:08.119><c> mean,</c><00:48:08.380><c> if</c><00:48:08.500><c> God</c><00:48:08.679><c> has</c><00:48:08.880><c> given</c><00:48:09.019><c> it</c><00:48:09.159><c> to</c><00:48:09.340><c> Abraham,</c><00:48:09.739><c> the</c><00:48:09.940><c> world,</c>

00:48:10.699 --> 00:48:11.539
he<00:48:10.840><c> hasn't</c><00:48:10.980><c> said</c><00:48:11.139><c> to</c><00:48:11.320><c> Abraham,</c>

00:48:11.659 --> 00:48:12.940
well,<00:48:11.679><c> I'll</c><00:48:11.800><c> give</c><00:48:11.860><c> you</c><00:48:12.059><c> seven</c><00:48:12.340><c>-eighths</c><00:48:12.519><c> of</c><00:48:12.599><c> the</c><00:48:12.760><c> world</c>

00:48:12.940 --> 00:48:15.300
and<00:48:13.219><c> divide</c><00:48:13.500><c> the</c><00:48:13.659><c> other</c><00:48:13.860><c> eight</c><00:48:14.059><c> between</c><00:48:14.380><c> the</c><00:48:14.559><c> rest</c><00:48:14.719><c> of</c><00:48:14.860><c> the</c><00:48:15.000><c> faithful.</c>

00:48:15.539 --> 00:48:17.280
He<00:48:15.699><c> says</c><00:48:15.780><c> yours</c><00:48:16.079><c> is</c><00:48:16.260><c> the</c><00:48:16.539><c> world,</c><00:48:16.900><c> Abraham.</c>

00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:19.059
Now<00:48:17.659><c> if</c><00:48:17.679><c> we</c><00:48:17.860><c> want</c><00:48:18.000><c> any</c><00:48:18.360><c> part</c><00:48:18.559><c> of</c><00:48:18.679><c> the</c><00:48:18.820><c> world,</c>

00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:21.320
we've<00:48:19.519><c> got</c><00:48:19.579><c> to</c><00:48:19.840><c> be</c><00:48:20.000><c> allied</c><00:48:20.179><c> to</c><00:48:20.420><c> Abraham.</c>

00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:24.239
So<00:48:21.699><c> that</c><00:48:21.880><c> Paul</c><00:48:22.059><c> says</c><00:48:22.320><c> we</c><00:48:22.579><c> have</c><00:48:22.960><c> joined</c><00:48:23.239><c> heirs</c><00:48:23.460><c> with</c><00:48:23.760><c> Christ</c>

00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:26.039
because<00:48:24.719><c> of</c><00:48:24.880><c> the</c><00:48:25.039><c> promise</c><00:48:25.260><c> made</c><00:48:25.460><c> to</c><00:48:25.739><c> Abraham.</c>

00:48:26.039 --> 00:48:28.960
We're<00:48:26.539><c> Abraham's</c><00:48:27.179><c> heirs</c><00:48:27.340><c> and</c><00:48:27.619><c> heirs</c><00:48:27.920><c> according</c><00:48:28.199><c> to</c><00:48:28.380><c> the</c><00:48:28.619><c> promise.</c>

00:48:29.219 --> 00:48:30.559
And<00:48:29.300><c> the</c><00:48:29.500><c> promise</c><00:48:29.699><c> was</c><00:48:30.039><c> the</c><00:48:30.239><c> world.</c>

00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:32.260
Now<00:48:31.139><c> I</c><00:48:31.320><c> find</c><00:48:31.500><c> that</c><00:48:31.800><c> wonderful.</c>

00:48:32.599 --> 00:48:34.420
And<00:48:32.659><c> it's</c><00:48:32.960><c> really,</c><00:48:33.639><c> I</c><00:48:34.039><c> believe,</c>

00:48:34.780 --> 00:48:37.360
and<00:48:34.920><c> Clive</c><00:48:35.199><c> Paul's</c><00:48:35.679><c> argument</c><00:48:35.840><c> are</c><00:48:36.119><c> powerful</c><00:48:36.679><c> in</c><00:48:36.860><c> that</c><00:48:37.099><c> chapter,</c>

00:48:37.739 --> 00:48:40.199
that<00:48:37.840><c> what</c><00:48:38.059><c> was</c><00:48:38.280><c> there</c><00:48:38.460><c> left</c><00:48:38.619><c> to</c><00:48:38.780><c> give</c><00:48:38.900><c> a</c><00:48:39.059><c> man</c><00:48:39.239><c> after</c><00:48:39.840><c> that?</c>

00:48:40.380 --> 00:48:41.019
Nothing<00:48:40.699><c> left.</c>

00:48:41.460 --> 00:48:42.800
Now<00:48:41.699><c> he</c><00:48:41.980><c> says,</c>

00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:47.400
Abraham<00:48:44.019><c> got</c><00:48:44.260><c> this</c><00:48:44.460><c> promise</c><00:48:44.679><c> of</c><00:48:44.840><c> the</c><00:48:45.059><c> world</c><00:48:45.320><c> not</c><00:48:45.880><c> through</c><00:48:46.340><c> the</c><00:48:46.599><c> law,</c>

00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:50.820
but<00:48:47.880><c> through</c><00:48:48.260><c> the</c><00:48:48.519><c> righteousness</c><00:48:49.019><c> of</c><00:48:50.000><c> faith.</c>

00:48:51.139 --> 00:48:53.539
Now<00:48:51.300><c> if</c><00:48:51.380><c> you</c><00:48:51.400><c> look</c><00:48:51.539><c> at</c><00:48:51.699><c> Galatians</c><00:48:52.239><c> perhaps,</c><00:48:52.820><c> it</c><00:48:53.019><c> explains</c><00:48:53.260><c> that</c><00:48:53.440><c> a</c>

00:48:53.539 --> 00:48:54.639
bit<00:48:53.739><c> clearer.</c>

00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:01.019
It's<00:48:58.139><c> the</c><00:48:58.260><c> same</c><00:48:58.480><c> argument</c><00:48:58.840><c> which</c><00:48:59.059><c> he's</c><00:48:59.219><c> been</c><00:48:59.519><c> using</c><00:48:59.739><c> before,</c>

00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:03.539
but<00:49:01.519><c> he</c><00:49:01.739><c> repeats</c><00:49:01.960><c> it</c><00:49:02.159><c> again.</c>

00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:13.039
The<00:49:09.639><c> law</c><00:49:10.219><c> and</c><00:49:10.559><c> faith</c><00:49:10.880><c> are</c><00:49:11.239><c> mutually</c><00:49:11.659><c> exclusive.</c>

00:49:13.840 --> 00:49:16.880
Paul<00:49:14.099><c> makes</c><00:49:14.880><c> that</c><00:49:15.199><c> point</c><00:49:15.400><c> in</c><00:49:15.639><c> Galatians</c><00:49:16.099><c> chapter</c><00:49:16.500><c> three,</c>

00:49:16.900 --> 00:49:21.519
and<00:49:17.179><c> there</c><00:49:17.320><c> he</c><00:49:17.500><c> says</c><00:49:17.760><c> in</c><00:49:18.000><c> the</c><00:49:18.699><c> third</c><00:49:19.139><c> chapter</c><00:49:19.579><c> of</c><00:49:20.079><c> Galatians,</c>

00:49:22.219 --> 00:49:23.760
verse<00:49:22.559><c> eighteen,</c>

00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:31.019
for<00:49:27.519><c> if</c><00:49:28.039><c> the</c><00:49:28.360><c> inheritance</c><00:49:29.079><c> be</c><00:49:29.599><c> of</c><00:49:29.760><c> the</c><00:49:30.059><c> law,</c>

00:49:31.699 --> 00:49:34.079
it<00:49:31.719><c> is</c><00:49:31.980><c> no</c><00:49:32.300><c> more</c><00:49:32.579><c> of</c><00:49:33.119><c> promise.</c>

00:49:34.780 --> 00:49:37.599
But<00:49:34.900><c> God</c><00:49:35.159><c> gave</c><00:49:35.500><c> it</c><00:49:35.699><c> to</c><00:49:35.940><c> Abraham</c><00:49:36.239><c> by</c><00:49:36.639><c> promise.</c>

00:49:38.619 --> 00:49:39.960
Now<00:49:38.780><c> it's</c><00:49:39.079><c> a</c><00:49:39.139><c> simple</c><00:49:39.480><c> argument,</c>

00:49:40.099 --> 00:49:41.179
and<00:49:40.179><c> we've</c><00:49:40.320><c> been</c><00:49:40.539><c> over</c><00:49:40.760><c> it</c><00:49:40.900><c> before,</c>

00:49:41.199 --> 00:49:42.659
but<00:49:41.320><c> it's</c><00:49:41.500><c> good</c><00:49:41.619><c> to</c><00:49:41.900><c> repeat</c><00:49:42.119><c> it.</c>

00:49:42.840 --> 00:49:44.300
You<00:49:42.940><c> see,</c><00:49:43.480><c> Paul's</c><00:49:43.699><c> point</c><00:49:43.820><c> is</c><00:49:44.079><c> this,</c>

00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:46.920
that<00:49:44.559><c> there's</c><00:49:44.840><c> such</c><00:49:45.079><c> a</c><00:49:45.300><c> difference</c><00:49:45.559><c> between</c><00:49:46.019><c> law</c><00:49:46.440><c> and</c><00:49:46.699><c> promise.</c>

00:49:47.019 --> 00:49:48.300
They're<00:49:47.159><c> not</c><00:49:47.300><c> just</c><00:49:48.039><c> different.</c>

00:49:48.360 --> 00:49:49.420
They're<00:49:48.619><c> opposites</c><00:49:48.960><c> really.</c>

00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:51.360
You<00:49:50.079><c> either</c><00:49:50.320><c> say</c><00:49:50.539><c> to</c><00:49:50.699><c> a</c><00:49:50.840><c> person,</c>

00:49:51.780 --> 00:49:54.199
you<00:49:52.159><c> do</c><00:49:52.519><c> this</c><00:49:52.739><c> and</c><00:49:52.920><c> obey</c><00:49:53.320><c> this</c><00:49:53.719><c> law,</c>

00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:55.380
and<00:49:54.440><c> I'll</c><00:49:54.559><c> give</c><00:49:54.739><c> you</c><00:49:54.860><c> that</c><00:49:55.019><c> land.</c>

00:49:55.380 --> 00:49:57.440
Or<00:49:55.820><c> you</c><00:49:56.039><c> say</c><00:49:56.280><c> to</c><00:49:56.440><c> a</c><00:49:56.539><c> person,</c>

00:49:57.460 --> 00:49:59.760
I<00:49:57.480><c> promise</c><00:49:58.039><c> to</c><00:49:58.260><c> give</c><00:49:58.380><c> you</c><00:49:58.519><c> that</c><00:49:58.679><c> land.</c>

00:50:00.500 --> 00:50:01.500
See,<00:50:00.579><c> they're</c><00:50:00.760><c> different.</c>

00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:05.619
One<00:50:01.739><c> depends</c><00:50:02.320><c> upon</c><00:50:02.659><c> the</c><00:50:03.000><c> person</c><00:50:03.480><c> to</c><00:50:04.960><c> do</c><00:50:05.219><c> something,</c>

00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:08.900
to<00:50:05.940><c> obey</c><00:50:06.239><c> a</c><00:50:06.539><c> certain</c><00:50:06.699><c> set</c><00:50:06.920><c> of</c><00:50:07.159><c> rules</c><00:50:07.400><c> to</c><00:50:07.639><c> get</c><00:50:07.840><c> the</c><00:50:08.079><c> land,</c>

00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:12.639
and<00:50:09.340><c> the</c><00:50:09.539><c> other</c><00:50:09.760><c> one</c><00:50:09.940><c> depends</c><00:50:10.440><c> upon</c><00:50:10.840><c> the</c><00:50:11.139><c> one</c><00:50:11.380><c> making</c><00:50:11.780><c> the</c><00:50:12.099><c> promise</c><00:50:12.320><c> to</c>

00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:13.420
give<00:50:12.820><c> it.</c>

00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:15.019
And<00:50:13.940><c> there's</c><00:50:14.099><c> a</c><00:50:14.179><c> difference.</c>

00:50:15.260 --> 00:50:18.199
So<00:50:15.420><c> the</c><00:50:15.539><c> first</c><00:50:15.820><c> one</c><00:50:16.039><c> says,</c><00:50:16.739><c> flesh,</c><00:50:16.940><c> if</c><00:50:17.079><c> you</c><00:50:17.300><c> obey</c><00:50:17.639><c> the</c><00:50:17.900><c> law,</c>

00:50:18.260 --> 00:50:19.139
I'll<00:50:18.420><c> give</c><00:50:18.579><c> you</c><00:50:18.719><c> the</c><00:50:18.880><c> land.</c>

00:50:19.559 --> 00:50:20.840
No<00:50:19.820><c> way</c><00:50:19.980><c> can</c><00:50:20.159><c> flesh</c><00:50:20.380><c> do</c><00:50:20.639><c> that.</c>

00:50:21.139 --> 00:50:22.719
The<00:50:21.340><c> second</c><00:50:21.539><c> one</c><00:50:21.820><c> says,</c><00:50:22.239><c> God</c><00:50:22.460><c> says,</c>

00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:24.559
I<00:50:23.460><c> will</c><00:50:23.679><c> give</c><00:50:23.900><c> you</c><00:50:24.059><c> the</c><00:50:24.199><c> land,</c>

00:50:24.900 --> 00:50:27.159

Romans<00:53:13.219><c> chapter</c><00:53:13.519><c> 4</c><00:53:13.780><c> verse</c><00:53:14.019><c> 15,</c>

00:53:16.380 --> 00:53:19.099
because<00:53:16.800><c> concerning</c><00:53:17.360><c> why</c><00:53:17.760><c> you</c><00:53:17.920><c> can't</c><00:53:18.179><c> get</c><00:53:18.280><c> it</c><00:53:18.380><c> by</c><00:53:18.559><c> the</c><00:53:18.699><c> law</c><00:53:18.840><c> is</c>

00:53:19.099 --> 00:53:19.519
the<00:53:19.300><c> reason.</c>

00:53:19.599 --> 00:53:20.360
Here's<00:53:19.880><c> the</c><00:53:20.039><c> reason,</c>

00:53:20.619 --> 00:53:23.519
because<00:53:20.980><c> the</c><00:53:21.280><c> law</c><00:53:21.900><c> workers</c><00:53:22.400><c> rot,</c>

00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:25.699
for<00:53:24.360><c> where</c><00:53:24.820><c> no</c><00:53:25.179><c> law</c><00:53:25.400><c> is,</c>

00:53:25.719 --> 00:53:27.940
there<00:53:25.940><c> is</c><00:53:26.260><c> no</c><00:53:26.659><c> transgression.</c>

00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:31.420
Now<00:53:29.539><c> Paul's</c><00:53:29.940><c> not</c><00:53:30.380><c> saying</c>

00:53:31.739 --> 00:53:33.679
that<00:53:32.179><c> if</c><00:53:32.539><c> you've</c><00:53:32.860><c> got</c><00:53:33.059><c> no</c><00:53:33.460><c> law,</c>

00:53:33.820 --> 00:53:34.900
there's<00:53:33.940><c> no</c><00:53:34.159><c> such</c><00:53:34.400><c> thing</c><00:53:34.559><c> as</c><00:53:34.760><c> sin,</c>

00:53:34.940 --> 00:53:36.320
because<00:53:35.159><c> that's</c><00:53:35.440><c> ridiculous,</c>

00:53:36.380 --> 00:53:38.400
because<00:53:36.420><c> long</c><00:53:36.760><c> before</c><00:53:37.099><c> the</c><00:53:37.300><c> law</c><00:53:37.440><c> ever</c><00:53:37.699><c> came</c><00:53:37.880><c> into</c><00:53:38.019><c> the</c><00:53:38.219><c> world,</c>

00:53:38.460 --> 00:53:39.860
men<00:53:38.679><c> were</c><00:53:38.940><c> called</c><00:53:39.079><c> by</c><00:53:39.300><c> God</c><00:53:39.519><c> sinners.</c>

00:53:40.139 --> 00:53:42.059
For<00:53:40.360><c> example,</c><00:53:41.019><c> the</c><00:53:41.079><c> men</c><00:53:41.260><c> of</c><00:53:41.440><c> Sodom</c><00:53:41.679><c> and</c><00:53:41.800><c> Gomorrah,</c>

00:53:42.159 --> 00:53:43.260
to<00:53:42.300><c> take</c><00:53:42.400><c> a</c><00:53:42.599><c> classical</c><00:53:42.860><c> example,</c>

00:53:43.360 --> 00:53:45.639
were<00:53:43.460><c> feeding</c><00:53:44.159><c> sinners</c><00:53:44.559><c> before</c><00:53:45.000><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:47.659
which<00:53:46.000><c> didn't</c><00:53:46.260><c> mean</c><00:53:46.519><c> of</c><00:53:46.679><c> course</c><00:53:46.820><c> that</c><00:53:46.980><c> where</c><00:53:47.079><c> there's</c><00:53:47.239><c> no</c><00:53:47.519><c> law,</c>

00:53:47.739 --> 00:53:48.800
there's<00:53:47.880><c> no</c><00:53:48.079><c> such</c><00:53:48.260><c> thing</c><00:53:48.440><c> as</c><00:53:48.639><c> sin.</c>

00:53:49.139 --> 00:53:50.340
What<00:53:49.360><c> he's</c><00:53:49.619><c> saying</c><00:53:49.820><c> is</c><00:53:50.099><c> this,</c>

00:53:50.340 --> 00:53:54.139
that<00:53:50.659><c> law</c><00:53:51.199><c> serves</c><00:53:51.719><c> the</c><00:53:52.039><c> purpose</c><00:53:52.480><c> to</c><00:53:53.340><c> emphasize</c>

00:53:54.139 --> 00:53:56.539
and<00:53:54.380><c> to</c><00:53:54.579><c> make</c><00:53:54.760><c> a</c><00:53:54.900><c> man</c><00:53:55.059><c> aware</c><00:53:55.739><c> of</c><00:53:56.179><c> sin.</c>

00:53:56.539 --> 00:54:00.599
Now<00:53:57.300><c> you</c><00:53:57.500><c> see</c><00:53:57.599><c> in</c><00:53:57.760><c> Galatians,</c><00:53:58.280><c> he</c><00:53:58.360><c> puts</c><00:53:58.559><c> it</c><00:53:58.699><c> this</c><00:53:58.940><c> way,</c>

00:54:02.400 --> 00:54:05.039
in<00:54:02.519><c> Galatians</c><00:54:02.940><c> chapter</c><00:54:03.199><c> 3</c><00:54:03.440><c> and</c><00:54:03.579><c> verse</c><00:54:03.860><c> 19,</c>

00:54:05.059 --> 00:54:06.940
wherefore<00:54:05.539><c> then</c><00:54:05.920><c> serveth</c><00:54:06.400><c> the</c><00:54:06.619><c> law,</c>

00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:10.059
it<00:54:07.239><c> was</c><00:54:07.519><c> added</c><00:54:07.920><c> because</c><00:54:08.460><c> of,</c><00:54:08.920><c> in</c><00:54:09.119><c> the</c><00:54:09.340><c> Greek,</c>

00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:11.800
the<00:54:10.360><c> transgressions.</c>

00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:13.960
The<00:54:12.599><c> definite</c><00:54:12.940><c> article</c><00:54:13.420><c> is</c><00:54:13.699><c> there.</c>

00:54:14.219 --> 00:54:17.679
And<00:54:14.380><c> the</c><00:54:14.519><c> reason</c><00:54:14.780><c> Paul</c><00:54:15.059><c> says</c><00:54:15.340><c> the</c><00:54:16.440><c> transgressions</c><00:54:17.159><c> is</c><00:54:17.360><c> this,</c>

00:54:18.039 --> 00:54:20.340
that<00:54:18.159><c> a</c><00:54:18.300><c> man</c><00:54:18.559><c> might</c><00:54:18.900><c> be</c><00:54:19.280><c> a</c><00:54:20.099><c> thief,</c>

00:54:20.460 --> 00:54:21.679
he<00:54:20.519><c> might</c><00:54:20.739><c> be</c><00:54:20.980><c> an</c><00:54:21.199><c> adulterer,</c>

00:54:21.739 --> 00:54:22.840
he<00:54:21.820><c> might</c><00:54:22.019><c> be</c><00:54:22.260><c> a</c><00:54:22.440><c> murderer,</c>

00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:24.219
he<00:54:22.980><c> might</c><00:54:23.159><c> be</c><00:54:23.300><c> a</c><00:54:23.420><c> whole</c><00:54:23.559><c> lot</c><00:54:23.679><c> of</c><00:54:23.820><c> other</c><00:54:23.980><c> things,</c>

00:54:24.219 --> 00:54:25.420
but<00:54:24.599><c> in</c><00:54:24.820><c> his</c><00:54:25.039><c> ignorance</c>

00:54:25.420 --> 00:54:28.340
and<00:54:25.659><c> in</c><00:54:25.679><c> his</c><00:54:26.019><c> beast</c><00:54:26.260><c>-like</c><00:54:26.880><c> animal</c><00:54:27.639><c> sensuality,</c>

00:54:28.440 --> 00:54:29.780
he<00:54:28.599><c> might</c><00:54:28.820><c> not</c><00:54:29.099><c> realize</c><00:54:29.559><c> that,</c>

00:54:29.820 --> 00:54:32.280
he<00:54:29.900><c> might</c><00:54:30.460><c> think</c><00:54:30.679><c> this</c><00:54:30.860><c> is</c><00:54:31.039><c> the</c><00:54:31.280><c> norm.</c>

00:54:32.300 --> 00:54:34.099
He<00:54:32.440><c> comes</c><00:54:32.739><c> to</c><00:54:32.940><c> the</c><00:54:33.119><c> understanding</c><00:54:33.480><c> of</c><00:54:33.719><c> the</c><00:54:33.820><c> Bible</c>

00:54:34.099 --> 00:54:36.599
and<00:54:34.280><c> he's</c><00:54:34.659><c> suddenly</c><00:54:35.039><c> convinced</c><00:54:35.579><c> he</c><00:54:35.860><c> is</c><00:54:36.219><c> a</c><00:54:36.420><c> thief,</c>

00:54:36.739 --> 00:54:37.719
he<00:54:36.820><c> is</c><00:54:37.119><c> an</c><00:54:37.280><c> adulterer,</c>

00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:38.380
he<00:54:37.780><c> is</c><00:54:38.079><c> a</c><00:54:38.139><c> murderer,</c>

00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:40.000
and<00:54:38.559><c> he's</c><00:54:38.679><c> all</c><00:54:38.900><c> that</c><00:54:39.039><c> God</c><00:54:39.340><c> says</c><00:54:39.559><c> he</c><00:54:39.739><c> is.</c>

00:54:40.260 --> 00:54:43.480
He<00:54:40.480><c> therefore</c><00:54:40.800><c> now</c><00:54:41.179><c> feels</c><00:54:41.420><c> the</c><00:54:41.800><c> weight</c><00:54:42.019><c> of</c><00:54:42.239><c> his</c><00:54:42.500><c> crimes.</c>

00:54:43.719 --> 00:54:47.260
And<00:54:43.980><c> therefore</c><00:54:44.460><c> the</c><00:54:44.900><c> law</c><00:54:45.219><c> has</c><00:54:45.619><c> highlighted</c><00:54:46.199><c> those</c><00:54:46.659><c> transgressions</c>

00:54:47.260 --> 00:54:49.719
and<00:54:47.420><c> they</c><00:54:47.679><c> are</c><00:54:48.159><c> the</c><00:54:48.920><c> transgressions</c>

00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:51.739
because<00:54:50.260><c> the</c><00:54:50.519><c> law</c><00:54:50.679><c> has</c><00:54:50.980><c> made</c><00:54:51.179><c> them</c><00:54:51.480><c> so.</c>

00:54:51.739 --> 00:54:55.940
They<00:54:52.300><c> now</c><00:54:52.559><c> become</c><00:54:52.920><c> something</c><00:54:53.760><c> special</c><00:54:54.239><c> and</c><00:54:54.639><c> real</c><00:54:54.840><c> to</c><00:54:55.039><c> that</c><00:54:55.219><c> man.</c>

00:54:55.960 --> 00:54:58.820
So<00:54:56.059><c> Paul</c><00:54:56.260><c> says</c><00:54:56.639><c> the</c><00:54:56.980><c> law</c><00:54:57.260><c> revealed</c><00:54:57.820><c> man</c><00:54:58.079><c> for</c><00:54:58.239><c> what</c><00:54:58.360><c> he</c><00:54:58.579><c> was,</c>

00:54:59.019 --> 00:55:02.139
he<00:54:59.159><c> suddenly</c><00:54:59.559><c> found</c><00:54:59.900><c> himself</c><00:55:00.219><c> in</c><00:55:00.619><c> the</c><00:55:00.860><c> road</c><00:55:01.059><c> of</c><00:55:01.320><c> the</c><00:55:01.460><c> wrath</c><00:55:01.559><c> of</c><00:55:01.760><c> God.</c>

00:55:02.519 --> 00:55:03.480
The<00:55:02.719><c> law</c><00:55:02.920><c> did</c><00:55:03.139><c> that.</c>

00:55:03.719 --> 00:55:05.179
So<00:55:03.840><c> instead</c><00:55:04.119><c> of</c><00:55:04.260><c> the</c><00:55:04.400><c> law</c><00:55:04.559><c> of</c><00:55:04.880><c> Moses,</c>

00:55:05.360 --> 00:55:06.480
or<00:55:05.480><c> any</c><00:55:05.679><c> law</c><00:55:05.820><c> for</c><00:55:05.980><c> that</c><00:55:06.179><c> matter,</c>

00:55:06.780 --> 00:55:09.300
making<00:55:07.000><c> a</c><00:55:07.239><c> man</c><00:55:08.099><c> come</c><00:55:08.780><c> to</c><00:55:08.960><c> God</c>

00:55:09.300 --> 00:55:11.539
and<00:55:09.719><c> find</c><00:55:09.980><c> comfort</c><00:55:10.420><c> and</c><00:55:10.659><c> fellowship</c><00:55:10.960><c> with</c><00:55:11.199><c> God,</c>

00:55:11.739 --> 00:55:13.320
all<00:55:11.960><c> it</c><00:55:12.139><c> did</c><00:55:12.300><c> was</c><00:55:12.480><c> to</c><00:55:12.619><c> reveal</c><00:55:12.820><c> to</c><00:55:12.960><c> that</c><00:55:13.139><c> man</c>

00:55:13.320 --> 00:55:16.179
that<00:55:13.559><c> God's</c><00:55:14.159><c> wrath</c><00:55:14.380><c> was</c><00:55:14.639><c> against</c><00:55:15.019><c> all</c><00:55:15.460><c> unrighteousness</c>

00:55:16.179 --> 00:55:19.340
and<00:55:16.340><c> all</c><00:55:16.619><c> ungodliness</c><00:55:17.019><c> of</c><00:55:17.539><c> men</c><00:55:17.900><c> as</c><00:55:18.199><c> they</c><00:55:18.460><c> practiced</c><00:55:18.820><c> their</c><00:55:19.139><c> sins.</c>

00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:21.059
So<00:55:19.800><c> the</c><00:55:19.980><c> law</c><00:55:20.179><c> couldn't</c><00:55:20.440><c> give</c><00:55:20.579><c> him</c><00:55:20.760><c> the</c><00:55:20.860><c> land</c>

00:55:21.059 --> 00:55:23.079
because<00:55:21.340><c> it</c><00:55:21.559><c> worked</c><00:55:21.840><c> its</c><00:55:22.039><c> opposite</c><00:55:22.360><c> way.</c>

00:55:23.559 --> 00:55:26.840
Therefore<00:55:24.000><c> it</c><00:55:24.239><c> is</c><00:55:24.579><c> of</c><00:55:24.780><c> faith</c><00:55:24.960><c> that</c><00:55:25.119><c> it</c><00:55:25.199><c> might</c><00:55:25.519><c> be</c><00:55:25.699><c> by</c><00:55:26.000><c> grace.</c>

00:55:28.719 --> 00:55:32.800
It's<00:55:28.960><c> of</c><00:55:29.199><c> faith</c><00:55:29.699><c> that</c><00:55:30.820><c> it</c><00:55:30.920><c> might</c><00:55:31.119><c> be</c><00:55:31.460><c> by</c><00:55:31.739><c> grace.</c>

00:55:33.760 --> 00:55:37.119
So<00:55:34.260><c> a</c><00:55:34.440><c> man</c><00:55:34.679><c> comes</c><00:55:35.000><c> to</c><00:55:35.199><c> believe</c><00:55:35.579><c> that</c><00:55:35.780><c> he</c><00:55:35.960><c> can't</c><00:55:36.539><c> really</c>

00:55:56.079 --> 00:55:58.239

00:55:59.159 --> 00:56:00.300
