Class 2 from this series was used for GCT Episode 251<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:02,480 –> 00:00:06,960
\nsecond session titled Understand
\nYour Flesh, the desires and <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:06,960 –> 00:00:09,680
\npassions that dwell inside you
\nTo open. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:09,680 –> 00:00:15,880
\nWe’ll start by seeing him. 135
\nBreathe through the heats of our<\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:15,880 –> 00:00:19,480
\ndesire by coolness and La Bana.
\nLet sense be done. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:19,760 –> 00:00:23,480
\nLet flesh retire, speak through
\nthe earthquake, wind and fire. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:24,240 –> 00:00:27,600
\nI still support Voice of Calm.
\nAnd if you remain standing after<\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:27,600 –> 00:00:31,820
\nthat, I’ll ask Brother John O.
\nMcGrath to open with the widow. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:31,820 –> 00:00:35,580
\nPray this way to introduce the
\ntalk. <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:35,700 –> 00:00:39,140
\nI’ll just ask brother Jared to
\ncome up and read from Romans. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:39,140 –> 00:00:44,140
\nChip 7.
\nThanks Joe. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:44,780 –> 00:00:50,980
\nBen, I should have come forward.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:51,300 –> 00:00:54,420
\nGood morning.
\nSo much better. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:54,420 –> 00:00:58,660
\nAll right.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:59,600 –> 00:01:02,920
\nSo now we begin in earnest.
\nWe’ve built up the argument the <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:02,920 –> 00:01:05,560
\n1st 5 chapters, kind of skipped
\nover chapter 6 for the moment, <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:06,600 –> 00:01:10,240
\nand now we’re ready to really
\nbegin and dig into Chapter 7. <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:10,240 –> 00:01:11,400
\nHuh.
\nHow’s that sound? <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:13,960 –> 00:01:18,920
\nBut I think as as annoying as
\nthis is, I’m going to have to <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:18,920 –> 00:01:21,960
\nconstruct for you an
\nunderstanding of the Atonement, <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:23,160 –> 00:01:26,960
\nbecause I really can’t get into
\nChapter 7 until you understand <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:26,960 –> 00:01:32,700
\nthe Atonement.
\nNow Paul begins. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:33,180 –> 00:01:35,700
\nReally as we read.
\nAnd as we studied. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:35,700 –> 00:01:39,340
\nAnd looked at in the last.
\nClass in the first. 3 chapters <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:39,340 –> 00:01:42,540
\nof Romans saying that Jews and
\nGentiles. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:42,540 –> 00:01:46,100
\nAnd you and me.
\nWe’ve all failed. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:46,100 –> 00:01:49,500
\nTo be free from sin.
\nRight, I’m. <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:50,380 –> 00:01:51,820
\nGoing to try to use my slides
\nthis time. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:52,380 –> 00:01:54,900
\nThere you go.
\nNo one is just in God’s sight <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:54,900 –> 00:01:57,020
\nthrough personal righteousness.
\nNow who’s taking notes? <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:58,690 –> 00:02:02,410
\nSo I only put things on a screen
\nthat are really important, so <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:02,490 –> 00:02:04,370
\nyou might want to.
\nThose things are good to copy <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:04,370 –> 00:02:08,330
\ndown, but I also have my notes.
\nIf anyone wants to look at them <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:08,330 –> 00:02:09,970
\nafter I’m happy for you to have
\nthem. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:09,970 –> 00:02:11,490
\nYou can copy them whatever you
\nwant to do. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:13,170 –> 00:02:18,850
\nSo he begins by saying that
\neveryone has sinned. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:19,690 –> 00:02:21,690
\nBut he explains.
\nGod is actually willing. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:23,650 –> 00:02:26,810
\nGod is willing to count faith as
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:27,950 –> 00:02:30,630
\nThat’s a big deal, right?
\nJust pause for a moment there. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:31,510 –> 00:02:34,750
\nYou’re all sinners, right?
\nBut God is. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:34,750 –> 00:02:43,430
\nStill willing to say that you’re
\nrighteous by faith, if that <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:43,430 –> 00:02:46,670
\nfaith.
\nIs genuine and it’s focused on <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:46,670 –> 00:02:50,550
\nGod’s means for salvation.
\nThat means that means for <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:50,550 –> 00:02:54,270
\nsalvation is finally explained
\nin chapter 5, right? <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:55,640 –> 00:02:58,000
\nOutside of the introduction,
\nJesus is not mentioned in the <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:58,000 –> 00:03:04,600
\n1st 4 chapters of of Romans, but
\nin finally in chapter five we we<\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:04,680 –> 00:03:09,960
\nfind out that that faith must be
\nin Jesus. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:09,960 –> 00:03:14,600
\nChrist.
\nSo the question then becomes, I <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:14,600 –> 00:03:16,120
\nguess this is the.
\nQuestion of the. <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:16,120 –> 00:03:19,400
\nAtonement How can Jesus save
\nyou? <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:21,440 –> 00:03:24,000
\nWho here by show of hands feels
\nvery confident. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:24,650 –> 00:03:26,050
\nAnd being able to address this
\nquestion. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:27,050 –> 00:03:30,170
\nYou guys remember back to your.
\nBaptismal interviews, right? <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:30,610 –> 00:03:32,330
\nAnd you get to the questions on
\nthe atonement. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:32,970 –> 00:03:35,770
\nYou just sort of keep on just
\nanswering God and Jesus as your <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:35,770 –> 00:03:38,490
\nanswers and the and the
\nmoderators kind of pushes you <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:38,490 –> 00:03:40,890
\nthrough it, you know?
\nAt least that’s how many <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:40,890 –> 00:03:42,530
\nbaptismal interviews I’ve been
\non sit. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:42,610 –> 00:03:44,770
\nThey sit through, you know, and
\nyou keep on saying Jesus and <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:44,770 –> 00:03:46,010
\neventually that’s the right
\nanswer. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:48,770 –> 00:03:52,610
\nRight.
\nHow can Jesus save you, Jesus? <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:53,010 –> 00:03:56,420
\nYou know.
\nSo we’re going to, we’re going <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:56,420 –> 00:03:57,500
\nto, we’re just going to go over
\nthis. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:57,540 –> 00:03:58,340
\nVery.
\nSimply. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:58,620 –> 00:04:01,380
\nBut I really want you to if you
\ndon’t feel comfortable with <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:01,500 –> 00:04:03,740
\nbeing able to.
\nArticulate the principles of the<\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:03,740 –> 00:04:05,580
\natonement.
\nThen pay attention because this <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:05,580 –> 00:04:08,060
\nwill help you, I think.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:08,060 –> 00:04:14,540
\nHow can Jesus save you?
\nPoint number one is he did not <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:14,540 –> 00:04:16,660
\nsin, right?
\nWithout that he would not be <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:16,660 –> 00:04:18,339
\nable to save you.
\nI think that’s the part we all <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:18,339 –> 00:04:21,420
\nkind of feel very.
\nComfortable with, but there’s a <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:21,420 –> 00:04:22,340
\nsecond.
\nAspect. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:22,340 –> 00:04:24,180
\nOf this.
\nThat I I I’ve. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:24,180 –> 00:04:27,740
\nActually not heard very well
\narticulated amongst our young <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:27,740 –> 00:04:30,140
\npeople in which I didn’t really
\ncome to a good understanding of <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:30,140 –> 00:04:32,700
\nuntil recently.
\nAnd there’s a second element <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:33,140 –> 00:04:35,300
\nthat that that Jesus can save.
\nUs. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:36,180 –> 00:04:38,860
\nAnd that’s because on the cross
\nhe. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:38,860 –> 00:04:44,500
\nDestroyed his body, and his body
\nwas the thing inside of him that<\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:44,500 –> 00:04:46,060
\nrebelled against doing God’s
\nwill. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:46,100 –> 00:04:50,900
\nThat’s a really big concept.
\nJesus chose to die. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:52,200 –> 00:04:54,560
\nAnd we’re going to get into this
\nconcept a little bit more later,<\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:55,000 –> 00:04:57,440
\nbut that one’s, that one’s
\nabsolutely essential. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:57,600 –> 00:04:59,160
\nIt’s not just that he didn’t
\nsin. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:00,000 –> 00:05:03,720
\nThey chose to put to death the
\nvery thing inside of him that <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:03,720 –> 00:05:07,200
\ndidn’t want to do God’s will.
\nAnd you have it inside of you. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:08,080 –> 00:05:09,640
\nYou have that rebellion inside
\nof you. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:10,240 –> 00:05:13,120
\nThe thing that that in your
\nmind, that carnal mind, whatever<\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:13,120 –> 00:05:15,040
\nyou want to call it, doesn’t
\nwant to do God’s will. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:16,960 –> 00:05:21,280
\nAnd Jesus put it to death.
\nOK. <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:21,730 –> 00:05:26,490
\nSo the combination of those two
\nthings is actually that God’s <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:26,490 –> 00:05:29,610
\nrighteousness is declared.
\nIt’s in those two things <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:29,610 –> 00:05:34,050
\ncombined that.
\nGod’s righteousness is declared,<\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:34,250 –> 00:05:41,170
\nso he rules over.
\nDeath, OK, we’re going to get <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:41,170 –> 00:05:44,330
\ninto that a little bit more in a
\nlittle bit, but that’s the <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:44,330 –> 00:05:46,930
\nequation.
\nI could, if you could narrow it <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:46,930 –> 00:05:49,330
\ndown to an equation, that would
\nbe your equation. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:50,530 –> 00:05:52,130
\nIt’s all about God’s
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:53,090 –> 00:05:58,130
\nSo when God’s righteousness was
\ndemonstrated, God was willing to<\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:58,130 –> 00:06:01,770
\nsave those who have sinned.
\nWho here has sinned? <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:03,770 –> 00:06:04,890
\nAlyssa?
\nYou’re raising your hand. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:07,210 –> 00:06:14,290
\nWe all we’ve all sinned.
\nWe’ve all sinned so, but God is <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:14,290 –> 00:06:17,690
\nwilling actually to save those
\nwho have sinned but on a <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:17,690 –> 00:06:22,940
\ncondition.
\nAnd the condition is that you <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:22,940 –> 00:06:27,380
\nconsider God to be righteous the
\nsame way Jesus did, and you <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:27,380 –> 00:06:30,940
\nactually demonstrate that God is
\nright just the same way Jesus <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:30,940 –> 00:06:31,940
\ndid.
\nNow how? <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:31,940 –> 00:06:34,980
\nDo we declare that God is
\nrighteous? <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:37,740 –> 00:06:39,340
\nHow do we declare that God is
\nright? <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:39,500 –> 00:06:47,380
\nThe same way that Jesus did one
\nWe have faith. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:49,690 –> 00:06:51,090
\nWait a minute.
\nThat’s the wrong way. <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:55,370 –> 00:06:59,050
\nOkay, we we declare God
\nrighteous the same way Jesus <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:59,050 –> 00:07:02,730
\ndid.
\nWhy first of all? <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:03,770 –> 00:07:08,130
\nOur old nature, our nature, Our
\nold man is crucified with him. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:08,330 –> 00:07:11,570
\nNotice the word with right.
\nObviously, I’ve emphasized it on<\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:11,570 –> 00:07:13,170
\nthe screen.
\nIt’s kind of an important word <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:13,170 –> 00:07:14,970
\nhere.
\nYou’ll kind of see it come up <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:14,970 –> 00:07:19,330
\nagain.
\nSecondly, we’re buried with him.<\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:22,860 –> 00:07:27,660
\nWe’re dead with Christ.
\nWe choose to live. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:27,780 –> 00:07:30,700
\nWith him guys going to get the
\nthe theme here, what’s the <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:30,700 –> 00:07:36,260
\ncommon word in all those four
\nthings I just brought up with? <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:36,660 –> 00:07:39,060
\nWhat mean no?
\nYou can say it. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:39,060 –> 00:07:41,060
\nIt’s okay.
\nOnly this do you guys can’t do <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:41,060 –> 00:07:42,500
\naudience participation in New
\nZealand. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:42,620 –> 00:07:46,460
\nIs that the American thing?
\nNow what’s the common word that <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:46,460 –> 00:07:49,060
\nwithin all four of those things
\nthat is put on the screen? <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:50,900 –> 00:07:59,780
\nYoung people say it one 2-3 with
\nhim right now why is that so <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:59,780 –> 00:08:02,540
\nimportant?
\nWhy is this idea of being with <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:02,540 –> 00:08:04,940
\nChrist?
\nWell, obviously you’re you have <\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:04,940 –> 00:08:07,100
\nto do what Christ.
\nDid you get it? <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:08,580 –> 00:08:10,580
\nNow there’s these two ideas, the
\nAtonement. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:11,340 –> 00:08:13,340
\nOne of them is a Christ did it
\nfor you. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:14,900 –> 00:08:16,860
\nThe other is Christ shows you
\nhow. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:19,000 –> 00:08:20,960
\nYou get these two ideas.
\nThey’re very different. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:22,400 –> 00:08:24,680
\nWhat is that?
\nChrist did everything for you. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:25,680 –> 00:08:27,560
\nThe other is that he shows you
\nhow. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:29,800 –> 00:08:34,799
\nOne is called substitution, the
\nother called is representation. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:35,080 –> 00:08:37,200
\nNow it’s very important because
\nif Christ did everything for <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:37,200 –> 00:08:38,559
\nyou, then why do you have to do
\nit? <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:40,039 –> 00:08:44,159
\nBut actually what scriptures
\nsaying to us is that we have to <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:44,159 –> 00:08:47,520
\nparticipate in this idea of
\nChrist’s death and resurrection.<\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:51,740 –> 00:08:54,940
\nSo in baptism, then what are we
\ndoing in baptism? <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:56,980 –> 00:09:00,060
\nIn baptism, what we’re doing is
\nin symbol. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:01,060 –> 00:09:02,820
\nWe’re putting our bodies in the
\ngrave. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:04,420 –> 00:09:09,140
\nNow why would we do that?
\nYou think about baptism, it’s <\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:09,380 –> 00:09:11,020
\nyou are in symbol.
\nDying. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:11,580 –> 00:09:13,500
\nWhen you go under those wires of
\nbaptism. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:13,840 –> 00:09:18,640
\nThat is a symbolic death.
\nNow why would you choose to die?<\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:24,080 –> 00:09:27,560
\nYou choose to die because you
\nare confessing. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:30,920 –> 00:09:37,640
\nThat that’s what your sin
\ndeserves, and you’re choosing to<\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:37,640 –> 00:09:43,200
\nsay publicly that God and not
\nyou. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:44,530 –> 00:09:49,970
\nIs righteous.
\nThat’s what baptism is. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:51,330 –> 00:09:54,330
\nAnd you’re saying to everyone,
\nI’m willing to go underneath <\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:54,330 –> 00:09:59,330
\nthese waters because God is
\nright, and you’re declaring that<\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:59,330 –> 00:10:06,090
\nhe’s right because you’re saying
\nmy sin and my sinfulness deserve<\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:06,090 –> 00:10:15,030
\nto die and by showing.
\nThat Christ represents. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:15,030 –> 00:10:18,710
\nUs.
\nAnd we’re doing what Christ did <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:20,150 –> 00:10:24,550
\nand acting out, in a sense, what
\nChrist did, and declaring, <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:24,910 –> 00:10:30,470
\nprimarily and first and foremost
\nperhaps, that God is just, that <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:30,470 –> 00:10:35,150
\nGod is right God’s.
\nWilling for us to share in. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:35,230 –> 00:10:40,810
\nJesus resurrection as well.
\nAnd that, what do you think? <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:40,810 –> 00:10:44,810
\nWhat I mean, if it going under
\nthe water is a symbolic death, <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:44,930 –> 00:10:46,650
\nthen what is coming out of the
\nwater, you think? <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:50,890 –> 00:10:54,410
\nThank you, Sharon.
\nIt’s very good participation. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:56,530 –> 00:10:58,850
\nYes.
\nIt’s a symbolic resurrection <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:00,690 –> 00:11:02,570
\nnow, aren’t you?
\nAre we glad that our? <\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:02,730 –> 00:11:04,770
\nBaptismal brothers didn’t decide
\nto stand straight to the <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:04,770 –> 00:11:06,410
\nKingdom.
\nYou know I. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:06,730 –> 00:11:08,410
\nWas going to keep you down
\nthere, you know? <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:09,060 –> 00:11:13,260
\nYou got a one way ticket.
\nNo you you. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:13,300 –> 00:11:14,780
\nYou.
\nYou got to come out of the <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:14,780 –> 00:11:17,500
\nwaters, and that coming out of
\nthe waters is a symbolic <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:17,500 –> 00:11:18,900
\nresurrection.
\nDo you see the word <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:18,900 –> 00:11:22,380
\nparticipating in the death and
\nthe resurrection of Christ <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:22,540 –> 00:11:25,500
\nthrough baptism?
\nAnd if we’re participating the <\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:25,500 –> 00:11:28,780
\ndeath and resurrection of
\nChrist, then once you put <\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:28,780 –> 00:11:31,860
\nforward the idea as being a
\npretty fundamental 1. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:11:32,200 –> 00:11:34,640
\nThat when you go through that
\nparticipation of the death and <\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:34,640 –> 00:11:38,600
\nresurrection of Christ, that you
\nmust also be declaring to God <\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:38,840 –> 00:11:42,480
\nvery similar things as Jesus
\ndeclared to God in his death and<\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:42,480 –> 00:11:45,760
\nresurrection.
\nAnd what did Jesus declare to <\/p>\n
183
\n00:11:45,760 –> 00:11:47,840
\nGod in his death and
\nresurrection? <\/p>\n
184
\n00:11:51,040 –> 00:11:56,280
\nHe’s declaring that God was
\nright, that God is right. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:11:56,280 –> 00:11:59,760
\nWe’re going to get to that in a
\nlittle bit. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:11:59,760 –> 00:12:01,840
\nThat’s a very, very, very
\nimportant thing. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:02,210 –> 00:12:03,450
\nWe’ll get to that a little bit
\nmore later. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:04,610 –> 00:12:07,290
\nWell, some were saying.
\nSome are saying that. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:07,570 –> 00:12:11,010
\nA life in Christ.
\nIs just a free license to sin. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:12,410 –> 00:12:14,970
\nWhy not?
\nEspecially if the resolves <\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:14,970 –> 00:12:16,450
\ngrace, and grace is a good
\nthing. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:16,690 –> 00:12:21,010
\nIn other words, we ought to
\ndeliberately choose a. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:21,010 –> 00:12:24,770
\nProfane and sinful lifestyle.
\nDeliberately choose it. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:12:25,210 –> 00:12:28,490
\nBecause we get more forgiveness
\nthat way. <\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:29,610 –> 00:12:31,650
\nNow we think that that’s a
\nridiculous argument, but I don’t<\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:31,650 –> 00:12:36,850
\nthink it’s very ridiculous
\nbecause we as baptized young <\/p>\n
197
\n00:12:36,850 –> 00:12:41,170
\npeople and as elders, we
\nsometimes deliberately choose a <\/p>\n
198
\n00:12:41,170 –> 00:12:44,530
\nprofane and simple lifestyle.
\nWhy is that? <\/p>\n
199
\n00:12:44,530 –> 00:12:47,090
\nThat That’s an argument which
\nwhich has a lot of bearing <\/p>\n
200
\n00:12:47,090 –> 00:12:51,170
\ntoday.
\nAnd so Paul really speaks to <\/p>\n
201
\n00:12:51,170 –> 00:12:53,730
\nthat, and Paul says that
\nactually. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:12:54,890 –> 00:12:57,810
\nThis would be impossible.
\nIt would be totally. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:12:57,810 –> 00:12:59,450
\nInconsistent with a life in
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:00,610 –> 00:13:06,130
\nSee, the reason that we’re
\nbaptized is we in symbol put to <\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:06,130 –> 00:13:08,330
\ndeath our sinful.
\nNature. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:08,570 –> 00:13:13,650
\nThe same way Jesus did.
\nWe put it to death and in the. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:13,650 –> 00:13:17,530
\nProcess of putting to death.
\nOur sinful nature in symbol. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:18,850 –> 00:13:23,850
\nWe declare God as righteous Now
\nto sin deliberately is to <\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:23,850 –> 00:13:27,620
\ndeclare to everyone.
\nThat nature didn’t really, <\/p>\n
210
\n00:13:27,620 –> 00:13:31,100
\nsymbolically die.
\nIn fact, the ceremony was kind <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:31,100 –> 00:13:34,860
\nof like a sham.
\nWe didn’t really symbolically <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:34,860 –> 00:13:37,060
\nput our nature to death.
\nWe would we didn’t symbolically <\/p>\n
213
\n00:13:37,060 –> 00:13:40,860
\nparticipate in the death of
\nChrist in the cross because of <\/p>\n
214
\n00:13:40,860 –> 00:13:43,060
\nsitting sitting.
\nDeliberately, and Paul says no, <\/p>\n
215
\n00:13:43,060 –> 00:13:48,140
\nthat couldn’t be.
\nPaul says that in Christ you’re <\/p>\n
216
\n00:13:48,140 –> 00:13:50,100
\nresurrected to a new life, free
\nfrom sin. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:13:50,100 –> 00:13:54,820
\nWe should come out of baptism to
\na new life and that in this new <\/p>\n
218
\n00:13:54,820 –> 00:13:57,500
\nlife.
\nWe try to be like Christ as he <\/p>\n
219
\n00:13:57,500 –> 00:13:59,580
\nnow is now.
\nHow is Christ now? <\/p>\n
220
\n00:13:59,740 –> 00:14:02,980
\nChrist is in heaven, fulfilling
\nthe perfect will of God. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:03,580 –> 00:14:05,420
\nThat is Christ’s resurrected
\nlife. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:14:05,900 –> 00:14:08,220
\nWhen Christ came out of the
\nwaters of baptism, you tell me <\/p>\n
223
\n00:14:08,300 –> 00:14:11,860
\nthat he desires sin any longer.
\nNo. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:14:13,620 –> 00:14:15,980
\nDid he desire to do evil any
\nlonger. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:14:16,140 –> 00:14:17,820
\nDid he have rebellion in his
\nheart any longer? <\/p>\n
226
\n00:14:17,940 –> 00:14:19,900
\nAnd so we come out of those
\nwaters of baptism. <\/p>\n
227
\n00:14:20,020 –> 00:14:21,980
\nThat is the life that we’re
\ntaking on. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:14:22,620 –> 00:14:25,540
\nNow, we don’t do it perfectly.
\nI understand it’s a symbol, and <\/p>\n
229
\n00:14:25,540 –> 00:14:28,260
\nyou understand that’s a symbol.
\nBut that is the symbol. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:14:29,100 –> 00:14:31,180
\nThat is the life that we’re
\ntaking on. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:14:31,700 –> 00:14:34,700
\nAnd Paul says, if you take on
\nthat life, how could you choose <\/p>\n
232
\n00:14:34,700 –> 00:14:37,540
\nto sin deliberately?
\nIt would be completely <\/p>\n
233
\n00:14:37,540 –> 00:14:42,860
\nconsistent with that choice.
\nThis new life in Christ is based<\/p>\n
234
\n00:14:42,860 –> 00:14:48,380
\non the premise, based on the
\npremise that the rebellious, <\/p>\n
235
\n00:14:48,420 –> 00:14:51,900
\nsinful nature with all this
\nwillfulness. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:14:52,420 –> 00:14:55,980
\nWas put to death.
\nThat’s the premise this life is <\/p>\n
237
\n00:14:55,980 –> 00:15:01,620
\nbased on after baptism, and this
\nimplies young people. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:15:02,860 –> 00:15:08,580
\nWe offer a full surrender of
\nself to the will of God. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:15:09,940 –> 00:15:13,940
\nAnd that is more.
\nEncompassing than a surrender to<\/p>\n
240
\n00:15:13,940 –> 00:15:17,540
\nthe rule of law.
\nIt’s a surrender of self. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:15:21,580 –> 00:15:29,660
\nSo it’s Romans 7 in a nutshell.
\nPaul shows in Romans 7 that a <\/p>\n
242
\n00:15:29,660 –> 00:15:34,460
\nlife lived under the law made
\nsin, if not deliberate, <\/p>\n
243
\n00:15:34,900 –> 00:15:37,460
\ninevitable.
\nBecause I want to make sure that<\/p>\n
244
\n00:15:37,460 –> 00:15:41,380
\nmakes sense for a moment.
\nPaul shows that a life lived <\/p>\n
245
\n00:15:41,380 –> 00:15:47,220
\nunder the law makes sin, if not
\ndeliberate, inevitable. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:15:47,340 –> 00:15:51,350
\nWhy would you tell me?
\nIf God gave us a series. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:15:51,510 –> 00:15:56,830
\nOf commands and to show us.
\nClearly what right and wrong was<\/p>\n
248
\n00:15:57,030 –> 00:16:00,070
\nas God himself declared that
\nright and wrong. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:01,430 –> 00:16:02,830
\nHow?
\nLong would it take for everyone <\/p>\n
250
\n00:16:02,830 –> 00:16:04,870
\nin this room eventually to break
\none of those laws? <\/p>\n
251
\n00:16:08,670 –> 00:16:10,750
\nMaybe a little.
\nWhile but eventually we’d all do<\/p>\n
252
\n00:16:10,750 –> 00:16:18,230
\nit, wouldn’t we?
\nAnd so the law made sin <\/p>\n
253
\n00:16:18,310 –> 00:16:21,770
\ninevitable.
\nBecause the law showed us what <\/p>\n
254
\n00:16:21,930 –> 00:16:25,570
\nright and wrong really was.
\nAnd by knowing right and wrong <\/p>\n
255
\n00:16:25,570 –> 00:16:31,130
\nreally was, it showed us.
\nWithout any doubt at all that we<\/p>\n
256
\n00:16:31,130 –> 00:16:33,810
\nwere on the wrong side, at least
\noccasionally. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:16:35,010 –> 00:16:36,690
\nSo the question that had.
\nTo be asked then. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:16:37,530 –> 00:16:40,930
\nIs this one if the?
\nLaw made sin inevitable. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:16:42,610 –> 00:16:43,810
\nIs the law.
\nTo be blamed? <\/p>\n
260
\n00:16:44,210 –> 00:16:47,330
\nOr are we to be blamed?
\nThat’s the question. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:16:47,660 –> 00:16:49,060
\nThat’s the question of Chapter
\n7. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:16:49,260 –> 00:16:50,900
\nThis is chapter seven in a
\nnutshell. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:16:51,780 –> 00:16:54,500
\nThe big nutshell.
\nStill a nutshell. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:16:56,420 –> 00:17:02,940
\nIf the law made sin inevitable,
\nthen is the law to be blamed or <\/p>\n
265
\n00:17:02,940 –> 00:17:04,579
\nwe to be blamed?
\nIt’d be really nice to blame <\/p>\n
266
\n00:17:04,579 –> 00:17:06,060
\nsomeone, by the way.
\nWouldn’t that be great? <\/p>\n
267
\n00:17:06,740 –> 00:17:10,460
\nWon’t be great to blame someone
\nfor sin, but be fantastic, you <\/p>\n
268
\n00:17:10,460 –> 00:17:12,420
\nknow?
\nIt’s his fault. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:17:12,420 –> 00:17:14,619
\nIt’s her fault.
\nIt’s my wife’s fault, my kids <\/p>\n
270
\n00:17:14,619 –> 00:17:15,900
\nfault.
\nIt’s. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:17:16,550 –> 00:17:17,990
\nUncle Viv’s fault?
\nI don’t know. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:17:17,990 –> 00:17:22,790
\nIt’s someone’s fault, right?
\nBut the law? <\/p>\n
273
\n00:17:23,990 –> 00:17:28,910
\nActually made it personal.
\nYou can’t blame, You can’t <\/p>\n
274
\n00:17:28,910 –> 00:17:33,950
\nblame.
\nAnd so to demonstrate the point <\/p>\n
275
\n00:17:33,950 –> 00:17:36,630
\npolitics of the question then
\nhow do I how does Paul going to <\/p>\n
276
\n00:17:36,630 –> 00:17:39,830
\ndemonstrate that it’s it’s us
\nand not the law? <\/p>\n
277
\n00:17:40,030 –> 00:17:41,390
\nThat it’s at fault.
\nThe law. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:17:41,390 –> 00:17:43,270
\nRemember the law makes sin
\ninevitable. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:17:43,430 –> 00:17:46,470
\nIf God says this is what I
\nexpect of you, it almost is <\/p>\n
280
\n00:17:46,470 –> 00:17:49,550
\ninevitable that you break it and
\nit shows you to be a Sinner. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:17:51,270 –> 00:17:53,830
\nSo, so.
\nWell, if the law makes sin <\/p>\n
282
\n00:17:53,830 –> 00:17:56,710
\ninevitable, Paul, maybe.
\nMaybe it’s the law’s. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:17:56,710 –> 00:17:58,990
\nFault.
\nBecause it’s inevitable that I’m<\/p>\n
284
\n00:17:58,990 –> 00:18:01,500
\ngoing to sin.
\nMaybe the problem was the law. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:18:01,500 –> 00:18:02,860
\nI should never have gotten that
\nlaw. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:18:03,580 –> 00:18:06,100
\nMaybe I was set up to fail by
\nthis law. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:18:06,420 –> 00:18:08,180
\nYou can see the questions start
\nto arise. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:18:08,380 –> 00:18:13,300
\nAnd so how does Paul then begin
\nto prove that it’s actually our <\/p>\n
289
\n00:18:13,300 –> 00:18:17,420
\nfault and not the laws?
\nSo to demonstrate the point, <\/p>\n
290
\n00:18:17,660 –> 00:18:20,700
\nPaul takes up the question and
\nthe question is this. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:18:21,100 –> 00:18:22,780
\nWhat then was the purpose of the
\nlaw? <\/p>\n
292
\n00:18:24,860 –> 00:18:27,700
\nWe partially address this
\nquestion in our last class, That<\/p>\n
293
\n00:18:27,700 –> 00:18:31,780
\nclass I hope made clear.
\nThat the purpose of the law was <\/p>\n
294
\n00:18:31,780 –> 00:18:33,740
\nto show us our sin.
\nAnd I did a horrible job of <\/p>\n
295
\n00:18:33,740 –> 00:18:36,860
\nshowing my slides last class.
\nBut I had this fantastic slide <\/p>\n
296
\n00:18:37,060 –> 00:18:41,980
\nof this dark room with a
\nflashlight and the dark room was<\/p>\n
297
\n00:18:41,980 –> 00:18:45,220
\nthe law and the flashlight was
\nthe law and it was shining sin. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:18:46,580 –> 00:18:48,260
\nAnd that’s what the.
\nLaw was really supposed to. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:18:48,260 –> 00:18:50,860
\nDo is supposed to show us what
\nsin was and show us that we’re <\/p>\n
300
\n00:18:50,860 –> 00:18:54,380
\nsinful, you know?
\nBut what happens when we’re <\/p>\n
301
\n00:18:54,380 –> 00:18:56,180
\nkids?
\nI have babies. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:18:56,900 –> 00:18:59,590
\nWho here has had a baby?
\nRight. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:18:59,590 –> 00:19:01,470
\nThere’s some of us.
\nSo we all kind of get this, I <\/p>\n
304
\n00:19:01,470 –> 00:19:04,590
\nthink a little.
\nBit what is life like for <\/p>\n
305
\n00:19:04,590 –> 00:19:09,030
\nbabies?
\nWell, I’d say this is a good <\/p>\n
306
\n00:19:09,030 –> 00:19:13,350
\nsummary.
\nThey want, plus they take. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:19:14,550 –> 00:19:16,750
\nPlus, they’re happy equals.
\nThey’re happy. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:19:17,150 –> 00:19:20,750
\nNow that happiness is is by the
\nway, very momentary. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:19:21,350 –> 00:19:23,510
\nBut for the moment at least.
\nIt is sheer. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:19:23,510 –> 00:19:28,430
\nHappiness, especially if someone
\nelse was having it first. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:19:29,450 –> 00:19:31,050
\nBut this is what it’s like to be
\na kid. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:19:31,050 –> 00:19:33,330
\nYou don’t think about it.
\nYou want something, you take it.<\/p>\n
313
\n00:19:33,330 –> 00:19:36,810
\nThere’s no conflict.
\nThis is perfectly integrated. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:19:37,010 –> 00:19:38,930
\nThere’s a lot of integrity in
\nthe statement. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:19:40,290 –> 00:19:43,050
\nI want it, I take it.
\nI’m happy. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:19:43,890 –> 00:19:46,810
\nBut then what happens when God
\nsays I don’t want you to take <\/p>\n
317
\n00:19:46,810 –> 00:19:51,650
\nit, and you and and not only
\nthat, but you become old enough <\/p>\n
318
\n00:19:52,410 –> 00:19:55,890
\nwhere you understand why maybe
\nGod doesn’t want you to take it.<\/p>\n
319
\n00:19:56,610 –> 00:20:02,750
\nWhat happens then?
\nWell, you want it still. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:20:02,750 –> 00:20:05,790
\nI mean, just like let’s just a
\nlittle baby wanted something. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:20:06,230 –> 00:20:10,110
\nYou still want it that hasn’t
\nchanged, but now you have God’s <\/p>\n
322
\n00:20:10,110 –> 00:20:12,030
\nlaw When God.
\nSays to you, you. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:20:12,030 –> 00:20:15,150
\nShouldn’t take it.
\nNow there’s conflict. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:20:15,270 –> 00:20:16,910
\nDo you see?
\nBefore there’s no conflict. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:20:16,910 –> 00:20:18,950
\nFor the child.
\nFor the child. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:20:18,950 –> 00:20:21,270
\nThere’s no.
\nThe only con for the child is <\/p>\n
327
\n00:20:21,270 –> 00:20:22,590
\nme.
\nI can’t do this in this country,<\/p>\n
328
\n00:20:22,590 –> 00:20:24,910
\nbut I do.
\nYou smack the hand, you know, <\/p>\n
329
\n00:20:25,230 –> 00:20:27,070
\nand the conflict is not wanting
\nto spank. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:20:28,310 –> 00:20:31,110
\nBut there’s no conflict in
\nwanting what they want and <\/p>\n
331
\n00:20:31,110 –> 00:20:35,790
\nwanting to take it.
\nBut now for the adult, they <\/p>\n
332
\n00:20:35,790 –> 00:20:40,230
\nunderstand God’s law, and so now
\nor before, there’s no conflict. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:20:40,230 –> 00:20:43,830
\nFor the child, now there’s this
\nconflict. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:20:44,310 –> 00:20:47,430
\nFor the adult, and the conflict
\nbegins O. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:20:55,400 –> 00:20:57,560
\nK.
\nSo what do I mean by this <\/p>\n
336
\n00:20:57,560 –> 00:20:58,120
\nconflict?
\nI. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:20:59,000 –> 00:21:00,800
\nWant you to imagine a.
\nSociety. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:21:02,750 –> 00:21:07,590
\nIn which envy and jealousy are
\nconsidered virtue. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:21:09,950 –> 00:21:15,790
\nIn this society, everyone wants
\nto have the toys and the jobs <\/p>\n
340
\n00:21:15,910 –> 00:21:19,270
\nand the looks and the status of
\nsomebody else. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:21:20,270 –> 00:21:24,470
\nIn fact, the more you want what
\nsomeone else has. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:21:25,030 –> 00:21:28,490
\nThe harder you work to get it.
\nAnd the more money you spend in <\/p>\n
343
\n00:21:28,490 –> 00:21:31,250
\nthe pursuit and the more the
\ncommerce is enhanced. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:21:32,850 –> 00:21:40,250
\nIn fact, this society feels that
\nit was such a virtue to have to <\/p>\n
345
\n00:21:40,250 –> 00:21:41,690
\nhave.
\nEnvy and jealousy were such <\/p>\n
346
\n00:21:41,690 –> 00:21:46,770
\nvirtues that whole industries
\nwere created solely with the <\/p>\n
347
\n00:21:46,770 –> 00:21:49,970
\nintention of helping you to want
\nsomeone else’s things. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:21:51,650 –> 00:21:53,650
\nAttractive people were then
\nhired. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:21:54,290 –> 00:21:57,130
\nJust to show off how nice their
\nthings were so that you would <\/p>\n
350
\n00:21:57,130 –> 00:21:59,530
\nfeel insignificant and small
\nwithout their things. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:22:02,490 –> 00:22:05,650
\nImagine a society like that.
\nIt’s probably real. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:22:05,650 –> 00:22:09,370
\nHard to imagine a society like.
\nAnd then a law was then <\/p>\n
353
\n00:22:09,370 –> 00:22:13,730
\nintroduced.
\nInto the society that reflects <\/p>\n
354
\n00:22:13,730 –> 00:22:18,450
\nthe mind of God and teaches that
\ncovetousness is wrong. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:22:20,570 –> 00:22:22,170
\nBecause that’s not what God is
\nlike. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:22:24,240 –> 00:22:27,600
\nNow, prior to the law, people
\ncoveted without remorse. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:22:28,000 –> 00:22:32,400
\nIn fact, they would voluntarily
\nsubject themselves to magazines <\/p>\n
358
\n00:22:32,400 –> 00:22:35,520
\nand ads to make to make them
\nfeel covetousness. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:22:35,680 –> 00:22:40,080
\nThey like covetousness.
\nThey go into into malls and <\/p>\n
360
\n00:22:40,080 –> 00:22:44,680
\nmarkets that were designed by
\nexperts in coveting who have pH <\/p>\n
361
\n00:22:44,680 –> 00:22:48,880
\nD’s in coveting that without any
\nthese these environments would <\/p>\n
362
\n00:22:48,880 –> 00:22:52,400
\nmake them covet.
\nAnd entice every sense of their <\/p>\n
363
\n00:22:52,400 –> 00:22:58,120
\nbodies.
\nThey would feel no remorse for <\/p>\n
364
\n00:22:58,160 –> 00:23:02,360
\nfor be coveting in that society.
\nWhy would they feel any remorse <\/p>\n
365
\n00:23:02,520 –> 00:23:05,440
\nand be as a virtue it makes
\ncommerce go round. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:23:06,320 –> 00:23:12,760
\nIt makes people strive for more.
\nBut now since. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:23:12,760 –> 00:23:14,960
\nGod’s law is introduced into the
\nsociety. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:23:18,240 –> 00:23:20,770
\nIt’s clear.
\nWhat God’s righteous requirement<\/p>\n
369
\n00:23:20,770 –> 00:23:23,170
\nis?
\nAnd so now a conflict begins. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:23:24,570 –> 00:23:27,810
\nAnd in this society’s desire to
\nhave what belongs to other <\/p>\n
371
\n00:23:27,810 –> 00:23:31,850
\npeople, everyone in society
\nbegins to understand this really<\/p>\n
372
\n00:23:31,850 –> 00:23:34,410
\nfundamental, important thing,
\nand that’s this. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:23:35,970 –> 00:23:42,570
\nThat their body and their nature
\ndoes not care at all for God’s <\/p>\n
374
\n00:23:42,570 –> 00:23:47,130
\nword, for following his command,
\nor for God’s righteousness. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:23:48,990 –> 00:23:52,470
\nIt simply wants other people’s
\nstuff where the God wants them <\/p>\n
376
\n00:23:52,470 –> 00:23:56,430
\nto want it or not.
\nDo you understand this? <\/p>\n
377
\n00:23:56,430 –> 00:24:00,910
\nDo you understand the conflict
\nnow, young people, before there <\/p>\n
378
\n00:24:00,910 –> 00:24:03,870
\nwas no conflict.
\nIt’s like being a child. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:24:04,310 –> 00:24:09,110
\nI want something, I take
\nsomething, I’m happy, but now <\/p>\n
380
\n00:24:09,110 –> 00:24:10,270
\nGod’s.
\nRighteous. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:24:10,270 –> 00:24:16,670
\nRequirement is now clear.
\nAnd and in it becoming clear, <\/p>\n
382
\n00:24:16,670 –> 00:24:21,910
\nthe thing that clarifies within
\nyourself is that your body does <\/p>\n
383
\n00:24:21,910 –> 00:24:28,790
\nnot care at all for God’s word.
\nYour nature does not care at all<\/p>\n
384
\n00:24:28,990 –> 00:24:33,150
\nfor God’s righteousness.
\nIt still wants things. <\/p>\n
385
\n00:24:34,110 –> 00:24:38,790
\nThe want has not gone away.
\nIt’s just now you know what God <\/p>\n
386
\n00:24:38,790 –> 00:24:41,230
\nexpects of you.
\nBut the want. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:24:41,350 –> 00:24:48,310
\nIs still there.
\nSo what would God’s laws do to <\/p>\n
388
\n00:24:48,470 –> 00:24:52,590
\nthis society?
\nI think it would make men <\/p>\n
389
\n00:24:52,590 –> 00:24:56,510
\nsinners because it would show
\nthem what sin is. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:24:57,070 –> 00:24:59,910
\nIt would teach.
\nPeople, the contrast between <\/p>\n
391
\n00:24:59,910 –> 00:25:03,190
\ntheir character and God’s
\ncharacter without the law. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:25:04,190 –> 00:25:07,990
\nWithout God’s law, I think we
\nwould naturally act contrary to <\/p>\n
393
\n00:25:07,990 –> 00:25:12,250
\nalmost all of its statutes.
\nSo in addition to governing a <\/p>\n
394
\n00:25:12,250 –> 00:25:14,730
\nnation, what the law really
\nshows us is it shows us what <\/p>\n
395
\n00:25:14,730 –> 00:25:16,250
\nwe’re like.
\nIt’s like a mirror. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:25:16,930 –> 00:25:19,290
\nAnd we look in that mirror, we
\nsee the. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:25:19,290 –> 00:25:22,490
\nFlame of sinful passion inside
\nno. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:25:22,490 –> 00:25:31,650
\nRomans 7 verse five says for.
\nWhen we were in the flesh the <\/p>\n
399
\n00:25:31,650 –> 00:25:35,010
\nmotions of sin, which were by
\nthe law. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:25:36,490 –> 00:25:38,890
\nDid work on our members to bring
\nforth fruit unto death. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:25:38,970 –> 00:25:41,730
\nYou get that?
\nThe motions that that red is not<\/p>\n
402
\n00:25:41,730 –> 00:25:43,610
\nputting.
\nThat really is a shame. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:25:46,570 –> 00:25:48,370
\nYou guys read that word Passions
\nthere. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:25:48,970 –> 00:25:51,810
\nWho here can’t read that word
\npassions on the third line in <\/p>\n
405
\n00:25:51,810 –> 00:25:52,770
\nthe back?
\nYou can’t. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:25:53,610 –> 00:25:58,930
\nThat is that is just awful.
\nAll right, well, I’ll have to do<\/p>\n
407
\n00:25:58,930 –> 00:26:04,650
\nsome editing tonight.
\nAll right, so we read there <\/p>\n
408
\n00:26:04,650 –> 00:26:06,850
\nthough for.
\nWhen we are in the flesh. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:26:07,250 –> 00:26:11,530
\nThe motions of sin which were by
\nthe law the word motions. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:26:11,530 –> 00:26:13,570
\nThere is passions.
\nHere in this translation. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:26:14,650 –> 00:26:17,690
\nThe passions of sin which were
\nby the law, didn’t. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:26:17,690 –> 00:26:18,930
\nWork and our members bring
\nfruit. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:26:18,970 –> 00:26:23,850
\nTo death.
\nYou see how close, how close sin<\/p>\n
414
\n00:26:23,850 –> 00:26:31,250
\nis with the law.
\nThe law brings out passions. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:26:31,650 –> 00:26:35,120
\nThey’re aroused by the law.
\nBecause when I was a child, I <\/p>\n
416
\n00:26:35,120 –> 00:26:36,320
\njust wanted things that I took
\nit. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:26:36,320 –> 00:26:38,680
\nIt was so clear I had no guilt
\nabout it. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:26:39,640 –> 00:26:42,400
\nBut now the law brings out all
\nthese passions. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:26:42,400 –> 00:26:44,640
\nAnd now from the law I know that
\nI’m a Sinner. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:26:44,640 –> 00:26:47,920
\nThe law is convicted me of sin
\nbecause I know what God requires<\/p>\n
421
\n00:26:47,920 –> 00:26:49,400
\nof me and I know I’m not doing
\nit. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:26:50,320 –> 00:26:54,040
\nSo the law just, it is, it sets
\nto work all this emotion, all <\/p>\n
423
\n00:26:54,040 –> 00:26:57,000
\nthis passion in me because I
\nhave all this conflict now I <\/p>\n
424
\n00:26:57,000 –> 00:27:00,320
\ndidn’t have before.
\nSo the law is very closely <\/p>\n
425
\n00:27:00,320 –> 00:27:02,640
\nassociated with sin.
\nSo Paul needs to explain in <\/p>\n
426
\n00:27:02,640 –> 00:27:04,770
\nverse 7.
\nIs the lost sin? <\/p>\n
427
\n00:27:05,970 –> 00:27:07,370
\nWasn’t that our question we
\nstarted with? <\/p>\n
428
\n00:27:08,050 –> 00:27:09,170
\nWhat’s the first question I
\nasked? <\/p>\n
429
\n00:27:09,170 –> 00:27:11,850
\nYou in these studies.
\nI said is the lost sin. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:27:12,690 –> 00:27:14,810
\nNow do we understand why Paul
\nasked that question? <\/p>\n
431
\n00:27:15,330 –> 00:27:17,090
\nNow do we get why he asked that
\nquestion? <\/p>\n
432
\n00:27:17,090 –> 00:27:23,490
\nIs the lost sin because of this?
\nNo, Paul explains that the law <\/p>\n
433
\n00:27:23,490 –> 00:27:25,130
\nis right.
\nIt just shows us that we’re <\/p>\n
434
\n00:27:25,130 –> 00:27:28,010
\nsinful.
\nBut what’s important? <\/p>\n
435
\n00:27:28,010 –> 00:27:32,370
\nHere is to recognize that people
\ndon’t sin deliberately, that <\/p>\n
436
\n00:27:32,370 –> 00:27:36,140
\ngrace would abound.
\nOK, you don’t set off. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:27:36,220 –> 00:27:39,100
\nOn a intentional.
\nCourse to covet, at least you <\/p>\n
438
\n00:27:39,100 –> 00:27:42,420
\nought not to.
\nYou can do, by the way, but you <\/p>\n
439
\n00:27:42,420 –> 00:27:44,420
\nought not to, and I don’t think
\nthat’s the way it works most the<\/p>\n
440
\n00:27:44,420 –> 00:27:45,820
\ntime.
\nI think you just covet <\/p>\n
441
\n00:27:45,820 –> 00:27:48,580
\nnaturally.
\nNo one has to make you. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:27:48,580 –> 00:27:55,780
\nTry.
\nThey just do, and so here’s the <\/p>\n
443
\n00:27:55,780 –> 00:28:00,380
\nknife’s edge if you can’t
\ncontrol. <\/p>\n
444
\n00:28:01,160 –> 00:28:03,920
\nThe desire to have what belongs
\nto someone else. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:28:05,720 –> 00:28:10,200
\nWhat are you supposed to do?
\nLet me just repeat that. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:28:10,400 –> 00:28:15,120
\nIf you can’t control the desire
\nto have what belongs to someone <\/p>\n
447
\n00:28:15,120 –> 00:28:17,200
\nelse, what are you supposed to
\ndo? <\/p>\n
448
\n00:28:17,800 –> 00:28:21,640
\nI mean by show of hands.
\nWho here is really, really good <\/p>\n
449
\n00:28:21,640 –> 00:28:23,160
\nat?
\nControlling their covetousness. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:28:24,640 –> 00:28:29,360
\nNot, not, not the this, not the
\nnot taking of things. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:28:29,770 –> 00:28:31,450
\nYou know, if you don’t take
\nthings, good for you. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:28:31,730 –> 00:28:34,330
\nI’m talking about your desire.
\nTo have it what belongs to <\/p>\n
453
\n00:28:34,330 –> 00:28:37,690
\nsomeone else?
\nIf you can’t control it. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:28:41,530 –> 00:28:43,330
\nYour desire to have it among
\nsomeone else, what are you <\/p>\n
455
\n00:28:43,330 –> 00:28:45,370
\nsupposed to do?
\nAnd that’s that is really the <\/p>\n
456
\n00:28:45,370 –> 00:28:50,090
\nsharp edge of the problem,
\nbecause under the law there’s <\/p>\n
457
\n00:28:50,090 –> 00:28:52,570
\nnothing you can do.
\nAnd that’s the point. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:28:53,490 –> 00:28:56,350
\nYou get it.
\nUnder the law there is nothing <\/p>\n
459
\n00:28:56,350 –> 00:28:58,230
\nyou can do.
\nThis problem does not go away. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:28:58,230 –> 00:29:01,030
\nUnder the law, this problem is
\nenhanced by the law. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:29:01,590 –> 00:29:03,790
\nThe law makes this problem
\nfurnace center. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:29:03,790 –> 00:29:06,990
\nSo have to stare at it and look
\nat it and recognize that there <\/p>\n
463
\n00:29:06,990 –> 00:29:09,550
\nis no solution to this problem
\nunder the law. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:29:11,310 –> 00:29:14,190
\nThat’s the point of the law.
\nWas to get us to this point and <\/p>\n
465
\n00:29:14,190 –> 00:29:17,110
\nthen it drops us.
\nThere’s nothing else that can do<\/p>\n
466
\n00:29:17,110 –> 00:29:23,590
\nfor us.
\nSo step one, then young people. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:29:23,830 –> 00:29:30,110
\nStep one is understand the
\nsource of the problem and Paul <\/p>\n
468
\n00:29:30,110 –> 00:29:35,510
\nin this chapter he points a
\nspotlight on human nature, the <\/p>\n
469
\n00:29:35,510 –> 00:29:37,470
\nmotions of sin if.
\nYou if you were the. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:29:37,470 –> 00:29:42,990
\nPassions I put forward to you
\nthat you must understand human. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:29:42,990 –> 00:29:45,950
\nNature if you want to do
\nsomething about it, so we’re <\/p>\n
472
\n00:29:45,950 –> 00:29:48,190
\ngoing to really spend some time
\nthen young people. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:29:49,110 –> 00:29:53,300
\nOld people in between people.
\nWho considers themselves an in <\/p>\n
474
\n00:29:53,300 –> 00:29:57,380
\nbetween person?
\nI would. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:29:57,380 –> 00:30:04,220
\nConsider you all old.
\nSo we’re really going to spend <\/p>\n
476
\n00:30:04,220 –> 00:30:07,180
\nsome time to really look at
\nhuman nature. <\/p>\n
477
\n00:30:09,380 –> 00:30:14,860
\nSo what is human nature?
\nThat has a difficult question. <\/p>\n
478
\n00:30:15,100 –> 00:30:19,020
\nWhat is human nature?
\nAs Paul goes on to convey to us <\/p>\n
479
\n00:30:19,020 –> 00:30:24,370
\nin Chapter 7, Human Nature.
\nIs feelings and desires and <\/p>\n
480
\n00:30:24,370 –> 00:30:27,570
\nlusts and passions and
\ninfatuation and rage and envy <\/p>\n
481
\n00:30:27,930 –> 00:30:30,450
\nand has a lot of things,
\nactually young people, that are <\/p>\n
482
\n00:30:30,450 –> 00:30:35,170
\nhard to define but easy to feel.
\nI mean, how do I define rage? <\/p>\n
483
\n00:30:35,890 –> 00:30:40,090
\nIt’s hard to define it, but I
\nknow what it feels like, and I <\/p>\n
484
\n00:30:40,130 –> 00:30:44,610
\nbet you know what it feels like.
\nHow do you define envy? <\/p>\n
485
\n00:30:45,410 –> 00:30:47,170
\nWell, it’s hard to.
\nDefine, but I bet you know what.<\/p>\n
486
\n00:30:47,170 –> 00:30:51,500
\nIt feels like.
\nThis class we really need to get<\/p>\n
487
\n00:30:51,500 –> 00:30:54,540
\na handle on human nature and see
\nhow it draws out our basic <\/p>\n
488
\n00:30:54,540 –> 00:30:57,740
\nsinfulness.
\nNow the fact that human nature <\/p>\n
489
\n00:30:57,740 –> 00:31:00,820
\nis friends center in this
\nchapter is evident by three <\/p>\n
490
\n00:31:00,820 –> 00:31:03,860
\nverses.
\nThe one I just read about sinful<\/p>\n
491
\n00:31:04,180 –> 00:31:06,260
\npassions which are aroused by
\nthe law. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:31:06,300 –> 00:31:10,220
\nThat word aroused very feeling
\ntype word and Roman 7 verse <\/p>\n
493
\n00:31:10,220 –> 00:31:12,820
\neight he says.
\nBut sin taking opportunity by <\/p>\n
494
\n00:31:12,820 –> 00:31:16,980
\nthe commandment produced in me
\nall manner of evil desire. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:31:18,220 –> 00:31:21,910
\nRoman 7, verse 15.
\nFor what I will to do that I do <\/p>\n
496
\n00:31:21,910 –> 00:31:24,430
\nnot practice, but what I hate
\nthat I do. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:31:24,710 –> 00:31:28,630
\nSo we have arousal, we have
\nevil, desire, we have hatred. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:31:29,270 –> 00:31:32,070
\nWith all these things in this
\nchapter and I I just put forward<\/p>\n
499
\n00:31:32,070 –> 00:31:34,790
\nto you that unless you get your
\nhead around this stuff, this <\/p>\n
500
\n00:31:34,790 –> 00:31:36,390
\nchapter is not going to make any
\nsense to you. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:31:37,310 –> 00:31:38,550
\nSo I put.
\nForward that the rest of this <\/p>\n
502
\n00:31:38,550 –> 00:31:41,350
\nclass, we have to spend some
\ntime getting our head around <\/p>\n
503
\n00:31:41,350 –> 00:31:44,950
\nthis and see what Jesus did
\nabout it and how what he did <\/p>\n
504
\n00:31:44,950 –> 00:31:46,550
\nabout declared the righteousness
\nof God. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:31:47,470 –> 00:31:49,550
\nIs that OK course to chart for
\nthe rest of this class? <\/p>\n
506
\n00:31:49,950 –> 00:31:55,150
\nOK, anyone disagree?
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:31:58,310 –> 00:32:00,590
\nAll right.
\nSo first a practical. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:32:00,590 –> 00:32:02,070
\nExample.
\nThis. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:32:02,270 –> 00:32:05,070
\nExample is going to require
\naudience participation. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:32:06,270 –> 00:32:08,950
\nSo I’m just giving you
\nforewarning, Steve, you’re <\/p>\n
511
\n00:32:08,950 –> 00:32:10,310
\nsmiling.
\nMaybe you can start your <\/p>\n
512
\n00:32:10,310 –> 00:32:11,270
\nAustralian.
\nVery bold. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:32:12,750 –> 00:32:19,070
\nGive me a characteristic that.
\nYou make characteristic that <\/p>\n
514
\n00:32:19,070 –> 00:32:22,190
\nyou’d like to have a personal
\npersonality. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:32:22,190 –> 00:32:36,510
\nCharacteristic a character.
\nGo I can give me a personality. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:32:36,510 –> 00:32:39,710
\nCharacteristic that you’d like
\nto have. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:32:42,870 –> 00:32:45,030
\nBoldness.
\nInteresting choice. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:32:46,430 –> 00:32:50,300
\nOK.
\nGive me some other examples of <\/p>\n
519
\n00:32:50,300 –> 00:32:52,100
\npersonality characteristics we’d
\nlike to have. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:32:53,060 –> 00:32:54,860
\nPatience, Good one.
\nWhat’s another one? <\/p>\n
521
\n00:32:55,860 –> 00:32:56,740
\nLove.
\nGood one. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:32:57,300 –> 00:33:01,540
\nWhat’s another one?
\nNot tolerance. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:33:02,100 –> 00:33:05,460
\nWhat’s another one?
\nlong-suffering. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:33:05,500 –> 00:33:06,740
\nThat’s probably kind of what you
\nmeant. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:33:07,340 –> 00:33:08,500
\nYep.
\nWhat’s another one? <\/p>\n
526
\n00:33:10,700 –> 00:33:11,780
\nHumbleness.
\nGood. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:33:13,860 –> 00:33:14,940
\nUnderstanding.
\nGood. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:33:16,640 –> 00:33:17,760
\nFaithfulness.
\nExcellent. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:33:18,560 –> 00:33:22,960
\nAnymore, we have love, we’ve had
\npatience, we’ve had <\/p>\n
530
\n00:33:25,440 –> 00:33:27,480
\nfaithfulness.
\nJoy. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:33:27,600 –> 00:33:30,840
\nGood, Excellent.
\nWhat’s this? <\/p>\n
532
\n00:33:32,800 –> 00:33:36,960
\nKindness.
\nGood. self-control. <\/p>\n
533
\n00:33:37,280 –> 00:33:38,800
\nWe’re really getting some of the
\nfruits of the spirit. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:33:38,800 –> 00:33:44,240
\nHere, aren’t we that was oops,
\nthat was my bad list. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:33:44,670 –> 00:33:48,350
\nSo that the good list had had
\nlove and joy and peace, I said. <\/p>\n
536
\n00:33:48,350 –> 00:33:50,790
\nAnd patience, and kindness, and
\ngoodness and faithfulness, <\/p>\n
537
\n00:33:51,350 –> 00:33:54,110
\nSelfcontrol.
\nNow who here? <\/p>\n
538
\n00:33:55,630 –> 00:33:58,590
\nDoes not want to have those kind
\nof personality characteristics, <\/p>\n
539
\n00:34:00,670 –> 00:34:05,190
\nLovejoy, Peace, Gentleness,
\nkindness, selfcontrol patients. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:34:05,430 –> 00:34:06,710
\nWho here doesn’t want those
\nthings? <\/p>\n
541
\n00:34:08,510 –> 00:34:12,989
\nSo can I can I assume by the
\ncomplete lack of hands that we’d<\/p>\n
542
\n00:34:12,989 –> 00:34:16,449
\nall like those things?
\nCan I assume that nod of heads? <\/p>\n
543
\n00:34:17,090 –> 00:34:20,530
\nOK, all right, now what are some
\nof the characteristics? <\/p>\n
544
\n00:34:20,530 –> 00:34:23,489
\nWe don’t want to have some bad
\ncharacteristics now. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:34:23,929 –> 00:34:25,570
\nYep.
\nHatred good. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:34:25,570 –> 00:34:27,530
\nOne.
\nJealousy good. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:34:27,530 –> 00:34:30,409
\nOne.
\nLust excellent. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:34:33,010 –> 00:34:36,409
\nEnvy good.
\nAnger good. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:34:38,170 –> 00:34:41,969
\nWell, this is this is my list.
\nI think you got most of those <\/p>\n
550
\n00:34:41,969 –> 00:34:45,380
\nactually.
\nAnger, jealousy, lust, envy, <\/p>\n
551
\n00:34:45,380 –> 00:34:47,980
\nhatred, and bitterness.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:34:48,380 –> 00:34:51,860
\nSo who by show of?
\nHands would really like to have <\/p>\n
553
\n00:34:51,860 –> 00:34:53,500
\nsome of those personality
\ncharacteristics. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:34:56,179 –> 00:34:58,300
\nAnybody.
\nAnyone. <\/p>\n
555
\n00:35:00,220 –> 00:35:04,860
\nSo we’ve all said we want this
\nlist of Lovejoy, Peace, <\/p>\n
556
\n00:35:04,860 –> 00:35:08,660
\nPatience, Kindness, goodness,
\nfaithfulness, self-control. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:35:09,090 –> 00:35:09,970
\nWe’ve.
\nAll agreed. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:35:09,970 –> 00:35:12,450
\nWe want those.
\nNow, just just by this. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:35:12,450 –> 00:35:15,010
\nSo I know this is just not a
\nlack of participation exercise. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:35:15,530 –> 00:35:17,970
\nRaise your hand if you want the
\ngood characteristics. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:35:22,570 –> 00:35:24,130
\nAnyone not raising their hands,
\ngood. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:35:25,170 –> 00:35:27,530
\nAll right, now raise your hand
\nif you do. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:35:27,530 –> 00:35:29,290
\nNot.
\nWant to have the bad <\/p>\n
564
\n00:35:29,290 –> 00:35:34,210
\ncharacteristics, Desmond?
\nVery good, Thank you. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:35:36,330 –> 00:35:39,420
\nSo.
\nWe’ve all been agreed. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:35:39,460 –> 00:35:42,100
\nI guess this is settled then.
\nI’m glad we’ve had this <\/p>\n
567
\n00:35:42,100 –> 00:35:43,980
\nexercise.
\nYou’ve all told me that you’re <\/p>\n
568
\n00:35:43,980 –> 00:35:45,700
\nonly going to have the good
\nelements of character. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:35:45,940 –> 00:35:47,740
\nYou’re not going to have the bad
\namounts of character. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:35:48,260 –> 00:35:50,100
\nSo I guess we’re done.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:35:50,100 –> 00:35:52,620
\nWe’ve all decided, you know.
\nYou’ve told me. <\/p>\n
572
\n00:35:53,060 –> 00:35:54,340
\nYou told me.
\nYou want to have the good list. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:35:54,340 –> 00:35:59,860
\nYou don’t have the bad list.
\nIt couldn’t be good. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:36:00,100 –> 00:36:02,020
\nIn the in the hands of someone
\nwho’s righteous. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:36:02,420 –> 00:36:05,340
\nBut I would say that for the
\nmost part, anger our anger, <\/p>\n
576
\n00:36:05,460 –> 00:36:07,380
\nanger that comes from our
\nnature’s. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:36:07,940 –> 00:36:10,220
\nProbably not good anger that
\ncomes from the desire who God’s <\/p>\n
578
\n00:36:10,220 –> 00:36:16,700
\nwill might be.
\nSo if we want to have the good. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:36:16,700 –> 00:36:18,500
\nElements of character.
\nWe don’t want to have the bad <\/p>\n
580
\n00:36:18,500 –> 00:36:20,260
\nelements of character.
\nYou’ve all agreed as much and <\/p>\n
581
\n00:36:20,260 –> 00:36:22,380
\nyou’ve raised your hands, you’ve
\nvolunteered and you’ve you’ve <\/p>\n
582
\n00:36:22,380 –> 00:36:27,100
\nbeen accountable.
\nYou think it’s going to work, <\/p>\n
583
\n00:36:29,580 –> 00:36:31,100
\nthink it’s going to work.
\nYou’re just not going to do any <\/p>\n
584
\n00:36:31,100 –> 00:36:32,860
\nof the bad stuff now.
\nYou’re only going to do the good<\/p>\n
585
\n00:36:32,860 –> 00:36:34,860
\nstuff.
\nThink it’s going to work. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:36:37,570 –> 00:36:40,890
\nWhy not?
\nWhy isn’t it going to work? <\/p>\n
587
\n00:36:40,890 –> 00:36:42,770
\nYou just told me you want to
\nhave the good characteristics. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:36:42,770 –> 00:36:46,690
\nYou want to ditch the bad.
\nSo my question to you is what’s <\/p>\n
589
\n00:36:46,690 –> 00:36:52,490
\nstopping you?
\nThat’s it, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
590
\n00:36:53,810 –> 00:36:57,370
\nWhat’s stopping you?
\nWhat’s stopping you from doing? <\/p>\n
591
\n00:36:57,370 –> 00:36:58,450
\nGood.
\nAll the time. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:37:01,170 –> 00:37:03,130
\nYou know we need to get a handle
\non. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:37:03,130 –> 00:37:04,410
\nThat.
\nDo you see? <\/p>\n
594
\n00:37:04,410 –> 00:37:07,090
\nThat we can’t do the things we
\nwant to do. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:37:08,100 –> 00:37:10,380
\nThe things that we don’t want to
\ndo, we do. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:37:11,420 –> 00:37:15,420
\nNow what’s a word?
\nThe Bible has lots of words for <\/p>\n
597
\n00:37:15,420 –> 00:37:20,300
\nthis, for this idea, this
\nconcept of of of not being able <\/p>\n
598
\n00:37:20,300 –> 00:37:23,860
\nto do what we want to do and and
\ndoing what we don’t want to do. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:37:24,700 –> 00:37:27,620
\nThe Bible calls it sinful
\nnature, and it calls it the <\/p>\n
600
\n00:37:27,620 –> 00:37:29,540
\nflesh, and it calls it human
\nnature. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:37:31,140 –> 00:37:34,660
\nIt calls it just sin.
\nBut there’s one word that’s <\/p>\n
602
\n00:37:34,660 –> 00:37:38,800
\nreally predominant.
\nEspecially in the King New King <\/p>\n
603
\n00:37:38,800 –> 00:37:45,760
\nJames, the RSV, the N IV and the
\nESV describe this this idea that<\/p>\n
604
\n00:37:45,760 –> 00:37:48,960
\nyou not doing what you want to
\ndo, but you are doing what you <\/p>\n
605
\n00:37:48,960 –> 00:37:57,880
\ndon’t want to do and that word
\nyou can’t really read, but that <\/p>\n
606
\n00:37:57,880 –> 00:38:03,260
\nword is passions now.
\nWe generally think of passions <\/p>\n
607
\n00:38:03,260 –> 00:38:05,220
\nas being a good thing, doesn’t
\ndoesn’t we? <\/p>\n
608
\n00:38:05,260 –> 00:38:08,700
\nI mean, in society today, if you
\njust read about this word <\/p>\n
609
\n00:38:08,700 –> 00:38:11,820
\npassion, it’s almost always used
\nin the positive sense. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:38:12,140 –> 00:38:14,820
\nYou should go for your passions
\nand strive for your passion. <\/p>\n
611
\n00:38:15,740 –> 00:38:18,340
\nAnd passion is really this idea
\nof feeling something quite <\/p>\n
612
\n00:38:18,340 –> 00:38:21,620
\nstrongly, isn’t it?
\nFeeling something quite <\/p>\n
613
\n00:38:21,620 –> 00:38:23,980
\nstrongly.
\nAnd whatever you’re feeling <\/p>\n
614
\n00:38:24,580 –> 00:38:26,980
\ntrying to achieve.
\nWhatever it is you’re feeling <\/p>\n
615
\n00:38:28,860 –> 00:38:30,820
\nnow.
\nHow do you think the Bible’s <\/p>\n
616
\n00:38:30,820 –> 00:38:32,100
\ngoing to think about that kind
\nof word? <\/p>\n
617
\n00:38:33,180 –> 00:38:38,020
\nThe idea that I feel something
\nfrom my nature, whatever it is, <\/p>\n
618
\n00:38:38,500 –> 00:38:42,860
\nof strong desire, and I’m going
\nto go and strive after achieving<\/p>\n
619
\n00:38:42,860 –> 00:38:47,660
\nthat thing, You know, there’s a
\nlot of. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:38:47,660 –> 00:38:49,500
\nReferences in Scripture to
\npassions. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:38:50,860 –> 00:38:55,980
\nSome of them are appearing.
\nRight now on the screen, those <\/p>\n
622
\n00:38:55,980 –> 00:39:00,430

\nI’d like to read some of you <\/p>\n
623
\n00:39:00,430 –> 00:39:03,270

\nNow, don’t look them up. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:39:03,630 –> 00:39:05,790
\nJust pay attention to me.
\nAnd I’m not just going to reach <\/p>\n

\nyou one, I’m going to read you.
\nNot all of them, but several, <\/p>\n
626
\n00:39:09,350 –> 00:39:10,790
\nbecause I don’t.
\nI want you to get the sense that<\/p>\n
627

\nI’m not just cherry picking

\nAll right, So pay attention to
\nme. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:39:15,790 –> 00:39:19,030

\nFor this reason, God gave them <\/p>\n

\nthrough women exchanged natural <\/p>\n

\nTheir sexual desires, their <\/p>\n

\n00:42:10,490 –> 00:42:12,250
\nif I’ve seen people in the
\ntruth? <\/p>\n
681
\n00:42:12,330 –> 00:42:15,650
\nThat have a passion for some
\nelement of the truth right and <\/p>\n
682
\n00:42:15,650 –> 00:42:17,130
\nhave.
\nSteamrolled their brothers and <\/p>\n
683
\n00:42:17,130 –> 00:42:20,290
\nsisters in the process.
\nDo that make that right? <\/p>\n
684
\n00:42:21,890 –> 00:42:23,730
\nEven if it’s a passion for
\nsomething in the truth? <\/p>\n
685
\n00:42:26,010 –> 00:42:28,010
\nWas that a careful consideration
\nof Scripture? <\/p>\n
686
\n00:42:29,210 –> 00:42:32,930
\nJames tells us that those who
\nare in the Spirit are easy to <\/p>\n
687
\n00:42:32,930 –> 00:42:33,610
\nbe.
\nEntreated. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:42:41,170 –> 00:42:45,490
\nLet’s try to find some places or
\ntimes that our passions are <\/p>\n
689
\n00:42:45,490 –> 00:42:48,330
\ninflamed.
\nI’ll include an example. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:42:49,050 –> 00:42:53,050
\nI feel passion is the most.
\nDuring four different Things, <\/p>\n
691
\n00:42:53,050 –> 00:42:54,490
\nwhen four different things are
\nhappening to me. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:42:55,010 –> 00:42:58,650
\nOne I’m hungry.
\nI’m angry. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:42:59,330 –> 00:43:01,810
\nI’m lonely.
\nOr I’m tired. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:43:02,650 –> 00:43:04,730
\nI call that halt.
\nIt’s right down the board. <\/p>\n
695
\n00:43:16,610 –> 00:43:20,030
\nI’m hungry when I’m angry.
\nWhen I’m lonely and when I’m <\/p>\n
696
\n00:43:20,030 –> 00:43:23,150
\ntired, I really feel my
\npassions. <\/p>\n
697
\n00:43:23,150 –> 00:43:29,630
\nThen there’s other times we want
\nto do something we shouldn’t or <\/p>\n
698
\n00:43:29,630 –> 00:43:34,630
\ntake something that isn’t ours.
\nWhen others are hurting us, we <\/p>\n
699
\n00:43:34,630 –> 00:43:37,670
\nwant to get back at them.
\nWe feel a lot of resentment. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:43:40,110 –> 00:43:43,430
\nWhen we feel that we’re empty or
\nworthless, we feel a lot of <\/p>\n
701
\n00:43:43,430 –> 00:43:47,230
\npassion.
\nWe can’t handle life or stress. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:43:48,730 –> 00:43:51,090
\nYou know, passion isn’t in
\nitself wrong. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:43:53,050 –> 00:43:56,290
\nIt’s simply the body’s way of
\nasserting self and getting what <\/p>\n
704
\n00:43:56,290 –> 00:43:59,490
\nit wants.
\nAnd how does the body get what <\/p>\n
705
\n00:43:59,490 –> 00:44:02,850
\nit wants?
\nIt makes you feel something and <\/p>\n
706
\n00:44:02,850 –> 00:44:08,450
\nyou feel compelled to do it.
\nIt’s very simple process, isn’t <\/p>\n
707
\n00:44:08,450 –> 00:44:10,290
\nit?
\nIt’s the body’s way. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:44:10,290 –> 00:44:12,450
\nOf getting what it wants.
\nAnd in and of itself that may <\/p>\n
709
\n00:44:12,450 –> 00:44:14,050
\nnot be wrong.
\nIt can’t be wrong. <\/p>\n
710
\n00:44:16,450 –> 00:44:19,730
\nBut certainly the acting on it.
\nIn contrast, the principles of <\/p>\n
711
\n00:44:19,730 –> 00:44:24,570
\nGod is wrong.
\nDo we all? <\/p>\n
712
\n00:44:24,570 –> 00:44:27,290
\nAgree that maybe these passions
\nhave something to do with <\/p>\n
713
\n00:44:27,290 –> 00:44:30,090
\nwilling to do right, but not
\nwilling not being able to do it.<\/p>\n
714
\n00:44:31,050 –> 00:44:33,130
\nMaybe passions have something to
\ndo with that concept. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:44:34,770 –> 00:44:37,450
\nNow picking up in Romans, we
\nread in Romans 7 versus 7:00 and<\/p>\n
716
\n00:44:37,450 –> 00:44:40,330
\n8:00.
\nWhat shall we say then? <\/p>\n
717
\n00:44:40,850 –> 00:44:43,090
\nIs the law sin?
\nCertainly not. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:44:43,660 –> 00:44:46,420
\nOn the contrary, I would not
\nhave known sin except through <\/p>\n
719
\n00:44:46,420 –> 00:44:48,100
\nthe law.
\nWe get that concept now, right? <\/p>\n
720
\n00:44:48,220 –> 00:44:52,460
\nThat’s all clear for us, right?
\nFor I would not have known <\/p>\n
721
\n00:44:52,460 –> 00:44:55,100
\ncovetousness lest the law had
\nsaid. <\/p>\n
722
\n00:44:55,540 –> 00:44:59,060
\nYou shall not covet but sin,
\ntaking opportunity by the <\/p>\n
723
\n00:44:59,060 –> 00:45:03,260
\ncommandment produced in me all
\nmanner of covetousness or evil <\/p>\n
724
\n00:45:03,260 –> 00:45:06,220
\ndesire.
\nSo Paul is still addressing this<\/p>\n
725
\n00:45:06,220 –> 00:45:09,300
\nissue of shall we sin that grace
\nmay have banned, you know, shall<\/p>\n
726
\n00:45:09,300 –> 00:45:12,140
\nwe sin?
\nKind of interesting question. <\/p>\n
727
\n00:45:13,980 –> 00:45:17,060
\nAnd almost implies you’re
\nsitting back and thinking, hey, <\/p>\n
728
\n00:45:19,380 –> 00:45:23,340
\nwhat am I going to do today?
\nYeah, maybe I’ll sin. <\/p>\n
729
\n00:45:23,340 –> 00:45:26,140
\nYeah, that’d be good.
\nLet’s see that that that way <\/p>\n
730
\n00:45:26,140 –> 00:45:28,020
\nthey’ll be lots of grace.
\nThat’s even better. <\/p>\n
731
\n00:45:28,740 –> 00:45:31,220
\nNow let’s see, how should I sin?
\nJoners, do you have any <\/p>\n
732
\n00:45:31,220 –> 00:45:36,220
\nsuggestions?
\nOK, that that would work good. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:45:36,500 –> 00:45:37,780
\nYou know, I think that’s we
\nshould do. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:45:37,780 –> 00:45:39,340
\nI think that’d be a good
\nactivity for today. <\/p>\n
735
\n00:45:39,340 –> 00:45:42,280
\nLet’s just sin.
\nYou know the question implies <\/p>\n
736
\n00:45:42,400 –> 00:45:45,240
\nshall we sin.
\nThe grace may abound and implies<\/p>\n
737
\n00:45:45,240 –> 00:45:47,320
\nthat there’s like this conscious
\ndecision to sin. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:45:48,640 –> 00:45:52,960
\nWas that how it typically works?
\nI mean, perhaps your son, but <\/p>\n
739
\n00:45:52,960 –> 00:45:56,560
\nwhat about for the believer?
\nAnd since Paul is a believer, he<\/p>\n
740
\n00:45:56,560 –> 00:45:58,960
\nkind of draws in his personal
\nexperience to show how sin <\/p>\n
741
\n00:45:58,960 –> 00:46:01,640
\nreally works.
\nAnd the best way to illustrate <\/p>\n
742
\n00:46:01,640 –> 00:46:03,840
\nhow sin really works is to use
\nCove justness. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:46:04,920 –> 00:46:06,640
\nNow, what makes covetousness so
\nspecial? <\/p>\n
744
\n00:46:07,560 –> 00:46:11,200
\nNow think about it for a second.
\nWhat makes covetousness <\/p>\n
745
\n00:46:11,200 –> 00:46:13,080
\ndifferent than the rest of the
\n10 commandments? <\/p>\n
746
\n00:46:15,240 –> 00:46:16,560
\nI mean names of those
\ncommandments. <\/p>\n
747
\n00:46:16,560 –> 00:46:21,480
\nThou shalt not steal, Thou shall
\nnot murder, Thou shalt not bear <\/p>\n
748
\n00:46:21,480 –> 00:46:24,360
\nfalse witness.
\nThou shalt not take the name of <\/p>\n
749
\n00:46:24,360 –> 00:46:26,840
\nthe Lord thy God in vain.
\nDo you see any? <\/p>\n
750
\n00:46:26,840 –> 00:46:29,240
\nDifferences between this list
\nand covetousness. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:46:31,200 –> 00:46:33,640
\nWhat do you think is the most
\nobvious difference between the <\/p>\n
752
\n00:46:33,640 –> 00:46:36,840
\nlist of those other commandments
\nand covetousness? <\/p>\n
753
\n00:46:40,710 –> 00:46:43,230
\nThat’s exactly right.
\nSharon Gold stars for you. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:46:44,830 –> 00:46:46,670
\nYou know, the other list is all
\nyou can all. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:46:46,670 –> 00:46:52,030
\nIt’s all external physical acts,
\nright at stealing or adultery or<\/p>\n
756
\n00:46:52,030 –> 00:46:54,990
\nmurder or other or or bearing
\nfalse witness. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:46:54,990 –> 00:46:57,270
\nThey’re all these external
\nphysical acts. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:46:59,150 –> 00:47:04,710
\nYou know, we most often think of
\nsin in terms of external <\/p>\n
759
\n00:47:04,710 –> 00:47:06,550
\nphysical acts.
\nThe reason? <\/p>\n
760
\n00:47:06,550 –> 00:47:09,270
\nProbably because we’re growing
\nup when we’re when we’re young, <\/p>\n
761
\n00:47:09,270 –> 00:47:10,790
\nexcuse me, that’s what we’re
\npunished for. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:47:11,390 –> 00:47:15,590
\nWe’re punished when we hit our
\nsister, I was we’re punished <\/p>\n
763
\n00:47:15,590 –> 00:47:17,870
\nwhen we won’t share our toys,
\nWe’re punished. <\/p>\n
764
\n00:47:17,870 –> 00:47:21,070
\nWhen we talk back to our
\nparents, see rights and wrongs, <\/p>\n
765
\n00:47:21,190 –> 00:47:24,750
\nthey’re reinforced by these
\nexternal physical acts. <\/p>\n
766
\n00:47:26,190 –> 00:47:28,190
\nBut what’s flawed about?
\nThat you mean, where does sin <\/p>\n
767
\n00:47:28,190 –> 00:47:30,830
\nstart?
\nWhere does sin originate? <\/p>\n
768
\n00:47:31,870 –> 00:47:34,550
\nAnd so Paul says that when the
\nlaw told him. <\/p>\n
769
\n00:47:34,950 –> 00:47:39,870
\nYou shall not covet.
\nIt wasn’t about not doing <\/p>\n
770
\n00:47:39,870 –> 00:47:43,630
\nsomething anymore.
\nIt was all in here. <\/p>\n
771
\n00:47:45,990 –> 00:47:51,870
\nAnd it killed him because he
\nrealized that this rebelled <\/p>\n
772
\n00:47:52,030 –> 00:47:55,550
\nagainst God.
\nThis rebelled against God. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:47:55,870 –> 00:47:58,470
\nAnd it wasn’t a matter of not
\ndoing something anymore. <\/p>\n
774
\n00:47:59,870 –> 00:48:02,190
\nIt was a matter of wanting to be
\nlike Camellia. <\/p>\n
775
\n00:48:03,790 –> 00:48:07,550
\nCoveting what he had, and the
\nprestige of other rabbis, and <\/p>\n
776
\n00:48:07,550 –> 00:48:10,910
\nthe prestige of other important
\npeople in this class and the <\/p>\n
777
\n00:48:10,910 –> 00:48:20,550
\nesteem of others.
\nRomans 7, verse 15 through 17. <\/p>\n
778
\n00:48:20,950 –> 00:48:24,950
\nFor what I am doing I don’t
\nunderstand for what I. <\/p>\n
779
\n00:48:24,950 –> 00:48:28,030
\nWill to do.
\nThat I do not practice, but what<\/p>\n
780
\n00:48:28,030 –> 00:48:32,590
\nI hate that I do, if then I do
\nwhat I will not to do, I agree. <\/p>\n
781
\n00:48:32,950 –> 00:48:42,430
\nWith the law that it’s good
\ncatch that if I will not to do. <\/p>\n
782
\n00:48:45,310 –> 00:48:48,110
\nIf I excuse me, if I do what I
\nwill not to do. <\/p>\n
783
\n00:48:48,110 –> 00:48:49,870
\nI agree with the law is good so.
\nThis Paul proves. <\/p>\n
784
\n00:48:49,870 –> 00:48:51,230
\nThe law is good.
\nDo you know how he proves the <\/p>\n
785
\n00:48:51,230 –> 00:48:52,190
\nlaw is good?
\nHe says. <\/p>\n
786
\n00:48:52,190 –> 00:48:56,990
\nBecause I wanted to follow it,
\nand it because I wanted to <\/p>\n
787
\n00:48:56,990 –> 00:49:00,110
\nfollow it, I then admit that
\nit’s good. <\/p>\n
788
\n00:49:01,600 –> 00:49:05,480
\nAnd then if I don’t do it, even
\nthough I wanted to do it, it <\/p>\n
789
\n00:49:05,480 –> 00:49:08,000
\nmust be me.
\nThat’s the problem, not the law.<\/p>\n
790
\n00:49:09,240 –> 00:49:12,360
\nAnd so he concludes.
\nThat he’s the problem. <\/p>\n
791
\n00:49:12,920 –> 00:49:15,360
\nThe law is not the problem.
\nWhy is he the problem? <\/p>\n
792
\n00:49:15,440 –> 00:49:18,160
\nBecause he wanted to follow the
\nlaw, so the law must have been <\/p>\n
793
\n00:49:18,160 –> 00:49:20,720
\ngood.
\nAnd because he didn’t follow the<\/p>\n
794
\n00:49:20,720 –> 00:49:24,560
\nlaw, that makes him the Sinner,
\nnot the law. <\/p>\n
795
\n00:49:26,920 –> 00:49:29,200
\nSo how could Paul of all people
\nsay? <\/p>\n
796
\n00:49:31,750 –> 00:49:37,190
\nHow can you not be good?
\nRemember when I asked you what’s<\/p>\n
797
\n00:49:37,190 –> 00:49:40,630
\nstopping you?
\nYou all said that you. <\/p>\n
798
\n00:49:40,630 –> 00:49:43,950
\nWanted to do good.
\nBut that something is getting in<\/p>\n
799
\n00:49:43,950 –> 00:49:54,290
\nyour way.
\nHere we go. <\/p>\n
800
\n00:50:01,040 –> 00:50:04,440
\nRemember you said that you
\nwanted to do good but something <\/p>\n
801
\n00:50:04,440 –> 00:50:08,320
\nwas getting in your way.
\nAnd Paul seizes on that natural <\/p>\n
802
\n00:50:08,320 –> 00:50:11,800
\nconflict in him and he he he
\ncalls the part that wants to do <\/p>\n
803
\n00:50:11,800 –> 00:50:15,200
\ngood I and the part that doesn’t
\nwant to do. <\/p>\n
804
\n00:50:15,200 –> 00:50:18,480
\nGood sin and that sin dwells in
\nPaul. <\/p>\n
805
\n00:50:19,920 –> 00:50:23,240
\nProperly understood by the way
\nthese are these verses destroy <\/p>\n
806
\n00:50:23,240 –> 00:50:26,920
\nthis idea of a personal devil.
\nBut I digress. <\/p>\n
807
\n00:50:28,430 –> 00:50:30,670
\nBut you might want to mark that
\nin your mind that your Bible for<\/p>\n
808
\n00:50:30,670 –> 00:50:33,630
\nBible market and he says in in
\nchapter 18. <\/p>\n
809
\n00:50:33,950 –> 00:50:37,550
\nExcuse me verse 18 of Chapter 7.
\nFor I know that in me that is in<\/p>\n
810
\n00:50:37,550 –> 00:50:41,590
\nmy flesh nothing good dwells for
\nto will is present with me. <\/p>\n
811
\n00:50:41,590 –> 00:50:46,270
\nBut how to perform what is good?
\nI don’t find for the good that I<\/p>\n
812
\n00:50:46,270 –> 00:50:48,630
\nwill.
\nTo do I do not do, but the evil <\/p>\n
813
\n00:50:48,630 –> 00:50:52,350
\nthat I do, that I will not to
\ndo, that I practice now. <\/p>\n
814
\n00:50:52,350 –> 00:50:56,990
\nIf I do what I will not to do,
\nit’s no longer I who do it sin. <\/p>\n
815
\n00:50:56,990 –> 00:50:59,930
\nIt dwells in me.
\nAnd these words can be a little <\/p>\n
816
\n00:50:59,930 –> 00:51:01,050
\nbit difficult to.
\nUnderstand. <\/p>\n
817
\n00:51:01,170 –> 00:51:02,450
\nAren’t they?
\nYou kind of read them and. <\/p>\n
818
\n00:51:02,450 –> 00:51:05,770
\nThey’re a little bit difficult
\nto understand, but if you ever <\/p>\n
819
\n00:51:05,770 –> 00:51:08,850
\nget stuck in Romans, I think you
\nought to remember this, that <\/p>\n
820
\n00:51:09,410 –> 00:51:12,890
\nthat Galatians is like an
\nabridged version of Romans. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:51:12,890 –> 00:51:16,010
\nYou guys ever read books in
\nschool and you had to write a <\/p>\n
822
\n00:51:16,010 –> 00:51:18,330
\nbook report, but you never
\nreally wanted to read the book, <\/p>\n
823
\n00:51:18,330 –> 00:51:19,530
\nand so you read.
\nThis this little. <\/p>\n
824
\n00:51:19,530 –> 00:51:21,370
\nSummary of the book.
\nWe used to call these in the in <\/p>\n
825
\n00:51:21,370 –> 00:51:24,650
\nthe states Cliff notes, right?
\nAnd you said read the summary of<\/p>\n
826
\n00:51:24,650 –> 00:51:26,610
\nthe book and then write your
\nbook report off the summary. <\/p>\n
827
\n00:51:27,190 –> 00:51:28,990
\nRight, because you’re too lazy
\nto read the book. <\/p>\n
828
\n00:51:29,630 –> 00:51:32,910
\nAm I the only one who did that?
\nYou guys are also honest. <\/p>\n
829
\n00:51:33,750 –> 00:51:39,430
\nWow, okay.
\nWell anyways, Galatians is like <\/p>\n
830
\n00:51:39,430 –> 00:51:42,230
\nthe Cliff Notes version of
\nRomans, and so actually can find<\/p>\n
831
\n00:51:42,230 –> 00:51:44,230
\na lot of the same concepts in
\nGalatians. <\/p>\n
832
\n00:51:44,230 –> 00:51:46,590
\nAs you can.
\nFind in Romans and vice versa. <\/p>\n
833
\n00:51:47,630 –> 00:51:53,470
\nAnd so Galatians 516 through 18
\ntakes up the exact same idea <\/p>\n
834
\n00:51:53,470 –> 00:51:55,350
\nthat we just.
\nRead in in Roman Chapter 7. <\/p>\n
835
\n00:51:56,410 –> 00:52:01,810
\nRelations 5 says this.
\nSo I say, live by the Spirit, <\/p>\n
836
\n00:52:02,770 –> 00:52:05,730
\nand you will not gratify the
\ndesires of the sinful nature. <\/p>\n
837
\n00:52:07,130 –> 00:52:12,130
\nFor the sinful nature desires
\nwhat is contrary to the Spirit, <\/p>\n
838
\n00:52:13,170 –> 00:52:16,610
\nand the Spirit what is contrary
\nto the sinful nature. <\/p>\n
839
\n00:52:16,890 –> 00:52:21,010
\nThey are in conflict with each
\nother, so that you do not do <\/p>\n
840
\n00:52:21,010 –> 00:52:25,450
\nwhat you want, but if you are
\nled by the Spirit. <\/p>\n
841
\n00:52:25,930 –> 00:52:30,330
\nYou are not under the law, so
\nyou do not do what you want. <\/p>\n
842
\n00:52:31,250 –> 00:52:40,530
\nThat’s the idea, very profound.
\nYou do not do what you want in <\/p>\n
843
\n00:52:40,530 –> 00:52:44,930
\nthis light, how wise you really
\nthink it is to trust yourself <\/p>\n
844
\n00:52:45,890 –> 00:52:48,810
\nwhen your passions are aroused
\nand get smart. <\/p>\n
845
\n00:52:50,810 –> 00:52:55,180
\nDo you think that your desires?
\nAre really the answer to your <\/p>\n
846
\n00:52:55,180 –> 00:52:57,620
\nproblems that just follow your
\ndesires more? <\/p>\n
847
\n00:52:58,460 –> 00:53:01,660
\nThat’s the answer.
\nDo you really think that your <\/p>\n
848
\n00:53:01,660 –> 00:53:04,980
\nwillpower is going to be what
\nhelps you stop from sinning? <\/p>\n
849
\n00:53:08,420 –> 00:53:10,620
\nYou think it’s self will and
\nself-control are really going to<\/p>\n
850
\n00:53:10,620 –> 00:53:12,980
\nstop you from sinning?
\nThat you’re going to save <\/p>\n
851
\n00:53:12,980 –> 00:53:17,580
\nyourself?
\nYou know what’s the main <\/p>\n
852
\n00:53:17,580 –> 00:53:19,460
\nproblem.
\nThis is really important, so if <\/p>\n
853
\n00:53:19,460 –> 00:53:21,300
\nyou lost me, come back to me
\nnow. <\/p>\n
854
\n00:53:22,520 –> 00:53:27,440
\nWhat is the main problem in
\nrelying on willpower to stop <\/p>\n
855
\n00:53:27,440 –> 00:53:33,680
\nfrom sinning?
\nI’ll tell you what the problem <\/p>\n
856
\n00:53:33,680 –> 00:53:38,000
\nis for me is that I can’t be
\nboth the problem and the <\/p>\n
857
\n00:53:38,000 –> 00:53:44,360
\nsolution at the same time,
\nbecause when I need me to be the<\/p>\n
858
\n00:53:44,360 –> 00:53:49,280
\nsolution the most is when I and
\nmost the problem. <\/p>\n
859
\n00:53:51,940 –> 00:53:56,700
\nI can’t be both the problem and
\nthe solution at the same time. <\/p>\n
860
\n00:53:57,740 –> 00:54:00,700
\nAnd you know what?
\nYou can’t either. <\/p>\n
861
\n00:54:03,100 –> 00:54:05,780
\nYou think you’re the answer to
\nyour problems. <\/p>\n
862
\n00:54:06,700 –> 00:54:09,820
\nYou think you’re the way that
\nyou’re just going to try harder.<\/p>\n
863
\n00:54:10,900 –> 00:54:13,980
\nThat if you just try harder,
\nyou’re going to overcome the sin<\/p>\n
864
\n00:54:13,980 –> 00:54:17,900
\nthing.
\nI tell you what, it’s not going <\/p>\n
865
\n00:54:17,900 –> 00:54:21,100
\nto work.
\nAnd it’s going to just lead to <\/p>\n
866
\n00:54:21,100 –> 00:54:25,500
\ndepression and to sadness if you
\ntry to think that you’re the <\/p>\n
867
\n00:54:25,500 –> 00:54:29,900
\nanswer to your problem and maybe
\nGod. <\/p>\n
868
\n00:54:30,020 –> 00:54:34,100
\nAsking God to help you be the
\nanswer to your problem, you will<\/p>\n
869
\n00:54:34,100 –> 00:54:36,700
\nfail.
\nAnd you’ll ask. <\/p>\n
870
\n00:54:36,700 –> 00:54:38,860
\nAgain, and you’ll fail, and you
\nask again, and you’ll fail and <\/p>\n
871
\n00:54:38,860 –> 00:54:40,820
\nyou ask again and you’ll fail.
\nAnd eventually you get so <\/p>\n
872
\n00:54:40,820 –> 00:54:45,660
\ndepressed with this failing that
\nyou just stop trying, because <\/p>\n
873
\n00:54:45,660 –> 00:54:48,020
\nyou cannot be the.
\nAnswer to your problem. <\/p>\n
874
\n00:54:49,120 –> 00:54:54,400
\nWhen you are the problem.
\nIt doesn’t not. <\/p>\n
875
\n00:54:54,400 –> 00:54:58,760
\nGoing to work.
\nWhat about the law? <\/p>\n
876
\n00:55:00,640 –> 00:55:02,320
\nI think the same principle
\napplies. <\/p>\n
877
\n00:55:03,880 –> 00:55:07,360
\nWhen you need a law.
\nTo. <\/p>\n
878
\n00:55:07,480 –> 00:55:12,520
\nBe when you need.
\nThe law to be a law the most, it<\/p>\n
879
\n00:55:12,520 –> 00:55:15,160
\nceases to be a law.
\nThat was confusing. <\/p>\n
880
\n00:55:17,680 –> 00:55:22,360
\nWhy?
\nBecause our desire overrules it,<\/p>\n
881
\n00:55:22,480 –> 00:55:24,440
\nand it fails in our weakness.
\nDo you get it? <\/p>\n
882
\n00:55:24,520 –> 00:55:28,520
\nWhen I need the law to be a law,
\nwhen I need the law to be a law <\/p>\n
883
\n00:55:28,600 –> 00:55:35,400
\nto me, When I really need to be
\na law to rule me, it’s not a <\/p>\n
884
\n00:55:35,400 –> 00:55:37,440
\nlaw.
\nIt fails to be a law. <\/p>\n
885
\n00:55:37,440 –> 00:55:39,360
\nWhen I need to be a law.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
886
\n00:55:41,840 –> 00:55:45,560
\nBecause our desire just simply
\noverrules it the law. <\/p>\n
887
\n00:55:45,560 –> 00:55:48,840
\nFails in our weakness.
\nNot because the law was to <\/p>\n
888
\n00:55:48,840 –> 00:55:57,120
\nblame, but because we’re sinful.
\nSo as we conclude. <\/p>\n
889
\n00:55:58,440 –> 00:55:59,800
\nI know I left you there, by the
\nway. <\/p>\n
890
\n00:56:00,160 –> 00:56:01,720
\nSo if you’re not the answer to
\nyour problem, what is? <\/p>\n
891
\n00:56:01,720 –> 00:56:03,800
\nWe’re going to have to wait till
\ntomorrow to get into that, <\/p>\n
892
\n00:56:04,280 –> 00:56:05,240
\nright?
\nProbably. <\/p>\n
893
\n00:56:05,240 –> 00:56:06,480
\nWant to know what the answer is,
\ndon’t you? <\/p>\n
894
\n00:56:10,000 –> 00:56:11,560
\nWell, that’s what chapter
\neight’s for, by the way. <\/p>\n
895
\n00:56:12,320 –> 00:56:14,280
\nAnd Paul doesn’t end his
\nargument Chapter 7 either. <\/p>\n
896
\n00:56:16,160 –> 00:56:18,840
\nSo as we conclude, let’s read
\nthrough the last three verses of<\/p>\n
897
\n00:56:18,840 –> 00:56:20,520
\nChapter 7 has gained a little
\nexpectation. <\/p>\n
898
\n00:56:21,080 –> 00:56:24,840
\nRomans Chapter 7, verses 21.
\nLast four verses 21 through 25. <\/p>\n
899
\n00:56:25,240 –> 00:56:29,440
\nI find in a law that evil is
\npresent with me, the one who. <\/p>\n
900
\n00:56:29,440 –> 00:56:33,040
\nWills to do good, for I delight
\nin the law. <\/p>\n
901
\n00:56:33,040 –> 00:56:34,720
\nOf God, according to the inward
\nman. <\/p>\n
902
\n00:56:34,920 –> 00:56:36,600
\nBut I see another law in my
\nmembers. <\/p>\n
903
\n00:56:36,600 –> 00:56:39,600
\nWorrying is the law of my mind
\nand bringing me into captivity <\/p>\n
904
\n00:56:39,880 –> 00:56:42,760
\nto the law of sin, which is my
\nmembers a. <\/p>\n
905
\n00:56:42,840 –> 00:56:44,560
\nWretched.
\nMan, that I am. <\/p>\n
906
\n00:56:45,350 –> 00:56:47,030
\nWho will?
\nDeliver me from this body of <\/p>\n
907
\n00:56:47,030 –> 00:56:51,790
\ndeath.
\nI thank God through Jesus Christ<\/p>\n
908
\n00:56:51,790 –> 00:56:55,750
\nour Lord.
\nSo then with my mind I serve the<\/p>\n
909
\n00:56:55,750 –> 00:56:58,030
\nlaw of God with my flesh, the
\nlaw of sin. <\/p>\n
910
\n00:56:59,310 –> 00:57:03,870
\nOh, wretched man that I am, Can
\nyou read those words <\/p>\n
911
\n00:57:03,870 –> 00:57:06,830
\ndramatically enough?
\nCan we read them with a sweat <\/p>\n
912
\n00:57:06,830 –> 00:57:10,270
\nand the tears of the the years
\nof toil trying to overcome sin? <\/p>\n
913
\n00:57:10,430 –> 00:57:13,430
\nI mean, how long have you really
\ntried to go without sinning? <\/p>\n
914
\n00:57:14,100 –> 00:57:16,540
\nHow long have you really tried?
\nHave you ever tried? <\/p>\n
915
\n00:57:17,140 –> 00:57:23,220
\nHave you said I’m not going to
\nsin, I’m not going to covet, I’m<\/p>\n
916
\n00:57:23,220 –> 00:57:25,660
\ngoing to love my neighbor, I’m
\ngoing to love God. <\/p>\n
917
\n00:57:25,660 –> 00:57:29,500
\nI’m going to put in first.
\nHow long have you really tried <\/p>\n
918
\n00:57:29,500 –> 00:57:33,580
\nto go without sinning?
\nBecause if you tried and you <\/p>\n
919
\n00:57:33,580 –> 00:57:37,260
\nfailed and you failed and you
\nfailed and you failed like Paul <\/p>\n
920
\n00:57:37,260 –> 00:57:39,900
\nhas, then you say.
\nI’m a Wretch. <\/p>\n
921
\n00:57:42,630 –> 00:57:45,950
\nYou understand that chapter 8
\ndoesn’t work until you realize <\/p>\n
922
\n00:57:45,950 –> 00:57:49,270
\nyou’re a Wretch.
\nChapter 8 doesn’t work. <\/p>\n
923
\n00:57:50,630 –> 00:57:53,630
\nChapter 8 only works when you’ve
\nconcluded with Paul that you’re <\/p>\n
924
\n00:57:53,630 –> 00:57:57,590
\nin the same position Paul was,
\nand this is Paul the apostle who<\/p>\n
925
\n00:57:57,590 –> 00:58:00,950
\nconcludes this.
\nImagine a man who who could who <\/p>\n
926
\n00:58:00,950 –> 00:58:03,190
\ncould boast and works.
\nIt would be the apostle Paul, <\/p>\n
927
\n00:58:04,350 –> 00:58:08,030
\nand Paul has concluded that he’s
\na Wretch. <\/p>\n
928
\n00:58:10,400 –> 00:58:12,640
\nAnd I wonder if the reason we
\ndon’t think that is because we <\/p>\n
929
\n00:58:12,640 –> 00:58:19,480
\ndon’t really try not to sin.
\nWe’re kind of okay with sin or a<\/p>\n
930
\n00:58:19,480 –> 00:58:24,240
\nlittle bit okay with it.
\nYou know, I really can’t stop <\/p>\n
931
\n00:58:24,240 –> 00:58:30,600
\nthis thing that I struggle with.
\nSo rather than stop it, I’m just<\/p>\n
932
\n00:58:30,600 –> 00:58:31,880
\ngoing to stop feeling guilty
\nabout it. <\/p>\n
933
\n00:58:35,080 –> 00:58:36,400
\nMaybe we’ve reached that
\nconclusion. <\/p>\n
934
\n00:58:39,810 –> 00:58:51,140
\nSad conclusion to reach.
\nPaul was ready to understand how<\/p>\n
935
\n00:58:51,140 –> 00:58:54,540
\ndesperately he needed Christ
\nbecause he understood that the <\/p>\n
936
\n00:58:54,540 –> 00:58:57,940
\nvery thing that made him a
\nWretch is exactly what Christ <\/p>\n
937
\n00:58:57,940 –> 00:59:03,060
\novercame now.
\nThis is why when Jesus <\/p>\n
938
\n00:59:03,060 –> 00:59:14,310
\nsacrificed himself on the cross.
\nYou didn’t just endure pain or <\/p>\n
939
\n00:59:14,310 –> 00:59:31,270
\nhunger or exhaustion or thirst
\nor ridicule or humiliation, even<\/p>\n
940
\n00:59:31,270 –> 00:59:36,670
\nrejection, you know, when you
\nlook at Cross Christ on the <\/p>\n
941
\n00:59:36,670 –> 00:59:39,630
\ncross.
\nWe think of the cross as being <\/p>\n
942
\n00:59:39,630 –> 00:59:41,390
\nthis brutally painful thing,
\ndon’t we? <\/p>\n
943
\n00:59:41,430 –> 00:59:45,790
\nJust brutally painful, right.
\nAnd having our our nails, you <\/p>\n
944
\n00:59:45,790 –> 00:59:48,910
\nknow, pound it into the to that
\npalms of our hands, you know, <\/p>\n
945
\n00:59:48,910 –> 00:59:51,870
\nand we just think about how
\npainful that would be. <\/p>\n
946
\n00:59:52,590 –> 00:59:56,390
\nBut tell me, tell me young
\npeople how much text is the <\/p>\n
947
\n00:59:56,390 –> 01:00:00,590
\nBible actually give to the to
\nthe to the fact of crucifying <\/p>\n
948
\n01:00:00,670 –> 01:00:05,390
\nJesus.
\nI’ll tell you Matthew 2735 then <\/p>\n
949
\n01:00:05,390 –> 01:00:10,150
\nthey crucified him.
\nIt gives us exactly 4 words. <\/p>\n
950
\n01:00:13,030 –> 01:00:17,190
\nI’m trying to say it wasn’t
\npainful, but how much? <\/p>\n
951
\n01:00:17,190 –> 01:00:22,150
\nText the gospel writers focused
\non the insults, on the emotional<\/p>\n
952
\n01:00:22,150 –> 01:00:27,230
\nabuse, on humiliation, on the
\nrejection, on the slander that <\/p>\n
953
\n01:00:27,230 –> 01:00:34,230
\nhe endured quite a bit more.
\nMatthew 27, verse 39 we read. <\/p>\n
954
\n01:00:34,650 –> 01:00:37,610
\nAnd those who passed by
\nblasphemed him, wagging their <\/p>\n
955
\n01:00:37,610 –> 01:00:41,690
\nheads and saying, You destroy
\nthe temple and build in three <\/p>\n
956
\n01:00:41,690 –> 01:00:45,130
\ndays.
\nSave yourself, you’re the Son <\/p>\n
957
\n01:00:45,130 –> 01:00:46,090
\nof.
\nGod, come down. <\/p>\n
958
\n01:00:46,090 –> 01:00:51,250
\nFrom the cross, likewise the
\nchief priest, also mocking with <\/p>\n
959
\n01:00:51,250 –> 01:00:55,330
\nthe scribes and the elders, said
\nhe saved others himself. <\/p>\n
960
\n01:00:55,330 –> 01:00:57,570
\nHe cannot.
\nSave He’s the king of Israel. <\/p>\n
961
\n01:00:57,570 –> 01:00:58,930
\nLet him come down from the
\ncross. <\/p>\n
962
\n01:00:58,930 –> 01:01:02,690
\nNow we will believe him.
\nHe trusted in God. <\/p>\n
963
\n01:01:03,280 –> 01:01:07,240
\nWhat if God deliver?
\nHim now God will have him for he<\/p>\n
964
\n01:01:07,240 –> 01:01:12,000
\nsaid, I’m the Son of God.
\nThe thieves also, which are <\/p>\n
965
\n01:01:12,000 –> 01:01:14,680
\ncrucified with him, cast him in
\nhis. <\/p>\n
966
\n01:01:14,720 –> 01:01:29,210
\nTeeth what?
\nHe had victory over Did he have <\/p>\n
967
\n01:01:29,210 –> 01:01:33,130
\nvictory over pain?
\nVictory over pain Alone. <\/p>\n
968
\n01:01:35,410 –> 01:01:37,450
\nDid he not have victory over
\nhumiliation? <\/p>\n
969
\n01:01:38,570 –> 01:01:40,050
\nDid he not have?
\nVictory. <\/p>\n
970
\n01:01:40,690 –> 01:01:46,850
\nOver thirst, Over hunger.
\nDid he not have victory over <\/p>\n
971
\n01:01:46,850 –> 01:01:54,450
\nrejection and humiliation?
\nDid not he have complete victory<\/p>\n
972
\n01:01:54,490 –> 01:02:04,090
\nover self, the ultimate victory
\nover self, Over the flesh, <\/p>\n
973
\n01:02:05,290 –> 01:02:09,570
\nEverything that he accomplished,
\nEverything he accomplished? <\/p>\n
974
\n01:02:10,890 –> 01:02:13,210
\nWas in complete opposition to
\nhis nature. <\/p>\n
975
\n01:02:14,770 –> 01:02:18,290
\nHe overcame passions so
\npoignantly expressed in this <\/p>\n
976
\n01:02:18,290 –> 01:02:26,570
\nverse.
\nFor it became him for whom are <\/p>\n
977
\n01:02:26,570 –> 01:02:33,130
\nall things and by whom are all
\nthings, in bringing many sons to<\/p>\n
978
\n01:02:33,130 –> 01:02:38,250
\nGori, to make the captain of
\ntheir salvation perfect through <\/p>\n
979
\n01:02:38,250 –> 01:02:43,750
\nsuffering.
\nThat says sufferings promise <\/p>\n
980
\n01:02:43,750 –> 01:02:47,190
\nyou.
\nBut you know what? <\/p>\n
981
\n01:02:47,510 –> 01:02:51,870
\nThat word suffering is the exact
\nsame word passion. <\/p>\n
982
\n01:02:56,870 –> 01:02:59,390
\nIt’s the exact same word passion
\nfrom Roman seven. <\/p>\n
983
\n01:03:00,950 –> 01:03:06,750
\nHe was made perfect through
\npassion by yielding to the <\/p>\n
984
\n01:03:06,750 –> 01:03:17,690
\npassion.
\nNo, by yielding it to God, we <\/p>\n
985
\n01:03:17,690 –> 01:03:19,810
\nall have the same thing inside
\nus. <\/p>\n
986
\n01:03:20,090 –> 01:03:22,250
\nYou get it?
\nWe all have the same thing <\/p>\n
987
\n01:03:22,250 –> 01:03:26,410
\ninside us.
\nYou know Jesus did not want to <\/p>\n
988
\n01:03:26,410 –> 01:03:29,570
\ndie.
\nHe did not want to die. <\/p>\n
989
\n01:03:30,450 –> 01:03:33,010
\nAnd that is what gave his death
\nmeaning. <\/p>\n
990
\n01:03:34,330 –> 01:03:37,890
\nHe suffered.
\nHe said, oh wretched man, that I<\/p>\n
991
\n01:03:37,890 –> 01:03:43,250
\nam, who will deliver me from
\nthis body of death? <\/p>\n
992
\n01:03:48,590 –> 01:03:51,310
\nI.
\nThank God through Jesus Christ <\/p>\n
993
\n01:03:51,310 –> 01:03:56,470
\nour Lord, Paul says.
\nSo the young people. <\/p>\n
994
\n01:04:00,110 –> 01:04:03,510
\nThat’s what Christ took to the
\ncross and that’s what he <\/p>\n
995
\n01:04:03,510 –> 01:04:08,920
\ncrucified, so.
\nWhat I’m asking you to do is a <\/p>\n
996
\n01:04:08,920 –> 01:04:12,640
\nvery difficult thing.
\nWhat I’m actually asking you to <\/p>\n
997
\n01:04:12,640 –> 01:04:16,240
\ndo is I’m actually asking you to
\nconsider yourself a Wretch <\/p>\n
998
\n01:04:17,800 –> 01:04:20,280
\nbecause that is where Paul
\nleaves us at the end of Chapter <\/p>\n
999
\n01:04:20,280 –> 01:04:24,920
\n7.
\nIf I’ve got not gotten that idea<\/p>\n
1000
\n01:04:24,920 –> 01:04:27,360
\nacross and these first two
\nclasses and I have failed <\/p>\n
1001
\n01:04:28,960 –> 01:04:31,840
\nbecause that is the point to
\nwhich Paul has led us before we <\/p>\n
1002
\n01:04:31,840 –> 01:04:35,720
\nbegin Chapter 8, before we begin
\nthat word. <\/p>\n
1003
\n01:04:36,920 –> 01:04:40,280
\nThanks.
\nBefore that word, thanks. <\/p>\n
1004
\n01:04:41,360 –> 01:04:46,360
\nThat’s where we’re left.
\nI know that’s a difficult thing <\/p>\n
1005
\n01:04:46,360 –> 01:04:48,680
\nto get across.
\nI know that you’re young. <\/p>\n
1006
\n01:04:49,360 –> 01:04:50,560
\nI know that.
\nEvery year you. <\/p>\n
1007
\n01:04:50,560 –> 01:04:53,920
\nGain more strength and you gain
\nmore energy and become older. <\/p>\n
1008
\n01:04:54,200 –> 01:04:57,320
\nAnd you know your flesh doesn’t
\nseem like it’s weakening. <\/p>\n
1009
\n01:04:57,320 –> 01:04:58,320
\nIt doesn’t seem like it’s weak
\nat all. <\/p>\n
1010
\n01:04:58,320 –> 01:05:01,120
\nIt just seems like it’s
\nstrengthening and maybe when you<\/p>\n
1011
\n01:05:01,120 –> 01:05:02,840
\nget to be.
\nA little bit older. <\/p>\n
1012
\n01:05:03,280 –> 01:05:05,000
\nI mean, I feel like I’m on the
\nother side of it. <\/p>\n
1013
\n01:05:05,000 –> 01:05:06,120
\nI don’t.
\nI feel like every year I feel a <\/p>\n
1014
\n01:05:06,120 –> 01:05:07,400
\nlittle bit older.
\nI don’t feel better. <\/p>\n
1015
\n01:05:07,950 –> 01:05:09,590
\nSo maybe it’s a little bit more
\nobvious for me. <\/p>\n
1016
\n01:05:11,590 –> 01:05:15,790
\nI know it’s a very hard thing to
\nunderstand at this point if I <\/p>\n
1017
\n01:05:15,790 –> 01:05:19,510
\nimplore you to understand it.
\nBecause if you understand it, <\/p>\n
1018
\n01:05:19,510 –> 01:05:21,110
\nyou can make incredible
\ndecisions. <\/p>\n
1019
\n01:05:22,910 –> 01:05:29,030
\nYou can make incredible choices.
\nYou can be thankful. <\/p>\n
1020
\n01:05:30,150 –> 01:05:35,150
\nYou can show true gratitude.
\nYou can really say thanks be to <\/p>\n
1021
\n01:05:35,150 –> 01:05:37,520
\nGod.
\nThrough Jesus Christ our Lord. <\/p>\n
1022
\n01:05:42,920 –> 01:05:47,680
\nSo we thank Christ for his
\nexample. <\/p>\n
1023
\n01:05:49,760 –> 01:06:01,160
\nFor it’s in Christ’s likeness,
\nactually, that we’re saved. <\/p>\n
1024
\n01:06:01,160 –> 01:06:09,080
\nYoung people Galatians chapter
\n5, verse 24, and those who are <\/p>\n
1025
\n01:06:09,080 –> 01:06:13,360
\nChrists have crucified the
\nflesh. <\/p>\n
1026
\n01:06:14,360 –> 01:06:18,440
\nWith its passion and with this
\ndesires. <\/p>\n
1027
\n01:06:22,440 –> 01:06:30,080
\nSo tomorrow we’ll consider.
\nThen if we get to this point, we<\/p>\n
1028
\n01:06:30,080 –> 01:06:34,040
\nget to the point where we’re
\nactually willing to do this, the<\/p>\n
1029
\n01:06:34,040 –> 01:06:37,560
\namazing blessings we have in
