Join me in Romans chapter 8.
0:06
Our text this morning is Romans chapter 8, verses 1 through 4, for the second time.
0:13
! Very glad to see all of you here this morning. I hope that you're expectant as I am to see what the Lord will do as we open His Word together.
0:20
Last week I was very pleased to begin our study of this precious chapter in this most treasured letter in this glorious book that we call the Bible.
0:32
We did not manage to make it far into the text as time constrained us, so I'm eager to consider our consideration of these four verses.
0:41
Before I read the text, allow me to remind you that this letter so far, Paul has given great labor to show us that everyone is guilty before God and rightly deserves His justice and our due condemnation,
0:56
but that we can be justified or declared righteous by grace alone, through faith alone, in the person and work of Jesus Christ alone.
1:06
Because of God's loving kindness, we can escape His judgment through faith, because Christ bore the wrath due us on the cross, and He fulfilled the requirement of the law for us.
1:21
By believing in Him, we lose our guilt, we gain His righteousness, and not only are we freed from the eternal verdict of our sin, but we are also set free from its power now.
1:34
This is the concisest summary I think I can faithfully give you of the first seven chapters of Romans.
1:43
Let's press on into the second week of our look at the first four verses of chapter 8.
1:50
Before I read them, let me remind you, beloved, that this is God's Word to us, written for His glory and our good.
1:56
And so we would all do well to listen to it in order to believe its promises and obey its commands.
2:02
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
2:10
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
2:17
For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do.
2:23
By sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin,
2:27
He condemned sin in the flesh in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us,
2:34
who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2:41
Last week we spent the majority of our time on verse 1.
2:45
But I would be remiss to not spend a little further time on it this morning before looking at verses 2 through 4.
2:53
Verse 1 should be emblazoned on our minds.
2:58
It needs to remain there.
3:01
Some people float through life unconcerned about how they live and the consequences of their living.
3:09
However, if you are anything like me,
3:12
you may be a person that thinks constantly about how you should or shouldn't orient your life
3:17
and likely find yourself issuing sentences and handing out verdicts of condemnation against yourself for your failures.
3:27
Chapter 8 and verse 1 is salve for our weary souls.
3:34
This verse reminds us that we are not the eternal judge of the cosmos.
3:40
We are not qualified to hold the position.
3:43
But the one who is says to us,
3:49
there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
3:56
It's just incredible.
3:58
No condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
4:03
Of course, the clear implication is there is condemnation for those who are not in Christ Jesus.
4:09
And I spent some time last week talking about that condemnation,
4:14
that justice that is due you.
4:18
It's the most important thing about you,
4:20
whether or not you are in Christ.
4:24
The Greek word here rendered,
4:26
condemnation,
4:28
relates to the sentencing of a crime,
4:30
but focuses not on the verdict,
4:33
but on the penalty that is due the crime.
4:36
Its emphasis is not on the declaration of guilt,
4:40
but on the price that must be paid for the crime of rebellion against God.
4:47
Paul tells us that for those who are in Christ Jesus,
4:50
there is no longer any condemnation.
4:53
Beloved,
4:54
in Christ Jesus,
4:56
no longer condemnation.
4:59
Because of the completed work of Jesus Christ,
5:02
the sentence that we fully deserve has been commuted.
5:08
We have passed from death to life,
5:09
from enemies to friends.
5:11
We were once estranged,
5:13
but now we belong.
5:16
Hear me carefully this morning.
5:18
This declaration of Paul's,
5:20
there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
5:24
does not depend on you.
5:27
It does not serve at the whim of your emotions.
5:31
It depends entirely on God,
5:36
so it is sure.
5:39
God accomplishes all that he sets out to,
5:42
and all of his promises are kept.
5:46
Our salvation find its confidence in him,
5:51
not in ourselves.
5:53
Now, if some of what I just said sounds familiar to you,
5:57
that's good.
5:58
It means that you were paying attention last week.
6:00
That last paragraph was word for word,
6:03
what I said last week,
6:05
as far as I can remember.
6:07
I think that we all need to hear it again.
6:10
I know that I did,
6:11
and that I do need to hear it,
6:14
time and time and time again.
6:17
Again,
6:17
there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
6:25
A wonderful,
6:26
wonderful truth.
6:29
Let's take a look at verses 2 through 4,
6:32
as Paul continues to expand this idea.
6:36
I want to ask and answer two questions.
6:38
I did that super fast last week,
6:40
about verse 1,
6:42
and they find the answer here in verses 2 through 4.
6:46
In these verses,
6:47
we will see Paul coupling the doctrines of justification
6:51
and sanctification
6:53
in a most concise and helpful way.
6:58
So the first question is this,
6:59
how is there, therefore, now no condemnation?
7:03
We've been saying this.
7:04
We've been saying this all throughout the letter.
7:06
I have said it last week.
7:07
I have said it in the introduction to this morning,
7:10
because if you are in Christ Jesus,
7:12
you have been justified.
7:15
There's not condemnation for you
7:17
because you have been declared righteous.
7:23
Justification is a legal declaration
7:26
that your sins have been forgiven, expunged.
7:30
As far as the East is for the West,
7:32
God has forgotten them,
7:34
as if they never existed at all.
7:38
You've been forgiven of your sin
7:40
and that you have perfectly kept the law in Christ.
7:46
His righteousness has been given to you.
7:49
This is the idea, the doctrine of double imputation.
7:53
Our sinfulness given to Christ,
7:56
His righteousness given to us through faith.
8:01
The great exchange, Martin Luther called it.
8:05
For the law of the Spirit of life
8:09
has set you free in Christ Jesus
8:12
from the law of sin and death.
8:16
Now, here Paul uses the word law
8:19
not in reference to natural law
8:21
or the Mosaic law.
8:24
And he's going to use it in that way
8:26
in the following verses.
8:28
And sometimes Paul's writing gets a little confusing
8:30
about which particular use of this word he's employing.
8:34
Here he's using it as a principle of operation.
8:39
So you can think of it in these terms.
8:41
There's therefore now no condemnation
8:43
for those who are in Christ Jesus
8:44
because for those who are in Christ Jesus,
8:47
the operating principle of the Spirit of life
8:51
has set you free from the operating principle
8:54
of sin and death.
8:58
What now controls us is entirely different.
9:05
I love here that the Holy Spirit,
9:08
which we can have no doubt Paul is referring to
9:10
by reading the rest of the chapter.
9:13
We know it's the Holy Spirit he's talking about.
9:15
But here he refers to the Holy Spirit
9:18
as the Spirit of life.
9:21
We should put that in our vernacular
9:23
and use it more often.
9:25
The Spirit of life.
9:29
Paul ascribes this title to him
9:31
as he introduces him
9:32
in direct opposition
9:34
to the consequence of our sin.
9:39
Our activity, apart from Christ,
9:41
brought death.
9:43
But now, in Christ,
9:45
the Spirit of life
9:47
brings life.
9:49
It's a very clever,
9:52
perhaps inspired,
9:54
play on words.
9:56
The emphasis here
9:58
is on his work
9:59
in spite of ours.
10:03
Beloved, God loves us too much
10:06
to leave us to ourselves.
10:10
Were it not for his saving grace,
10:12
we would remain utterly lost.
10:15
And he knows this.
10:17
But because of his saving grace,
10:19
we have great reason
10:21
for great confidence
10:22
in Christ Jesus.
10:26
He has saved us
10:29
if we're in him.
10:32
Listen to Paul say this elsewhere.
10:34
This is 2 Corinthians 3,
10:36
verse 4 and following.
10:39
Such is the confidence
10:41
that we have through Christ
10:43
toward God.
10:46
Not that we are sufficient
10:47
in ourselves
10:48
to claim anything
10:49
as coming from us,
10:50
but our sufficiency
10:51
is from God,
10:55
who has made us
10:56
sufficient to be ministers
10:57
of a new covenant.
10:58
Not of the letter,
11:00
here he's referring to the law,
11:02
but of the Spirit.
11:05
For the letter kills,
11:07
but the Spirit gives life.
11:11
And Paul continues
11:13
into verse 3
11:15
with another 4.
11:18
He says,
11:18
For God has done
11:20
what the law,
11:22
weakened by the flesh,
11:23
could not do
11:24
by sending his own Son
11:25
in the likeness of sinful flesh,
11:27
and for sin,
11:28
he condemned sin
11:30
in the flesh.
11:33
Now this time,
11:34
as I mentioned,
11:35
Paul does use the word law
11:37
in reference to natural law,
11:40
or in reference to
11:41
the Mosaic law.
11:43
He is talking about
11:45
those things
11:45
that we can know
11:46
are right or wrong
11:47
because our conscience
11:48
bears witness to it,
11:50
or because he has
11:51
directly commanded it.
11:54
The law can provoke
11:56
sin in men
11:57
and condemn them for it,
11:59
but it cannot deliver them
12:02
from its consequences.
12:05
Why?
12:05
Because our sinful flesh
12:08
cannot keep the law.
12:11
He says it right there.
12:12
For God has done
12:13
what the law,
12:14
weakened by the flesh,
12:17
our very sin nature,
12:18
the way in which
12:19
we are born,
12:20
unable to keep the law.
12:22
The law can't accomplish
12:23
that purpose
12:25
because we can't keep it.
12:28
We have rebelled against it
12:29
and would continue to do so
12:31
without God's intervention.
12:34
And so praise God
12:37
for this phrase
12:38
at the beginning
12:38
of verse 3.
12:39
For God has done.
12:44
What a beautiful phrase.
12:48
Beloved, we are passive agents
12:51
in God's saving work.
12:56
I will never grow tired
12:58
of telling you this.
13:00
This is not always agreed upon
13:01
in our day.
13:02
We are passive agents
13:06
in God's saving work.
13:09
We cannot save ourselves.
13:11
We offer nothing
13:13
to the equation
13:15
but our sinfulness.
13:18
We need to hear it.
13:20
For many reasons,
13:21
we need to hear it.
13:23
And not because I think
13:24
that it's important
13:24
to tell you so,
13:25
because it's my particular
13:27
theological bend,
13:29
it's the camp
13:29
that I like to hang out in,
13:31
but because God thinks
13:33
it's important
13:33
to tell us so.
13:35
And he tells us again
13:36
and again and again.
13:38
We are taught in the Bible
13:39
that God's saving work
13:41
is monergistic.
13:43
He accomplishes it.
13:45
For God has done.
13:47
What you could not do
13:49
is the way you could read
13:50
the beginning of verse 3.
13:52
You can't do it.
13:53
God had to do it
13:55
for you.
13:56
And praise be to God.
13:59
He did.
14:00
He did.
14:01
2 Corinthians chapter 5
14:02
and verse 21.
14:04
For our sake,
14:06
God made Christ to be sin
14:07
who knew no sin
14:10
so that in Him
14:11
we might become
14:12
the righteousness
14:13
of God.
14:15
There's that great exchange
14:17
in a single verse.
14:19
Double imputation.
14:22
Christ had to come
14:23
and accomplish
14:23
what we could not accomplish.
14:25
accomplish on our own.
14:28
God has done this.
14:32
We need to rest
14:33
in these truths.
14:35
We're going to get into it
14:37
towards the end of chapter 8
14:38
and on into chapter 9
14:40
and then wrestle
14:41
with the implications of it
14:43
in chapter 10
14:43
and chapter 11.
14:45
It is glorious
14:47
and it is beautiful
14:47
and it is true.
14:49
Doctrines always taught to us.
14:52
High views of these
14:53
doctrines of grace
14:54
to give us a pillow
14:55
to rest our head on.
14:57
Not a rock to stumble over
14:59
or to pick up and throw
15:00
at somebody else.
15:02
Right?
15:02
It's meant for rest.
15:04
Right?
15:05
Remember where this started.
15:06
There is no condemnation
15:07
for those
15:08
who are in Christ Jesus.
15:10
Why?
15:11
Because God has done it.
15:13
Because God has done it.
15:14
you're going to fail
15:16
in your life.
15:17
You're going to sin
15:18
and you're going to want
15:19
to condemn yourself.
15:20
But guess what God says
15:21
of you.
15:22
If you're in Christ
15:23
there's no condemnation
15:25
for you.
15:27
We just sang a song
15:28
together
15:28
that speaks to this
15:29
very truth.
15:31
And I don't know
15:32
maybe you're like me
15:33
sometimes
15:34
I sing a song
15:35
and I know the tune
15:36
and I know the words
15:37
and I just sing it
15:38
and I don't think
15:39
very much
15:40
about what
15:40
I'm singing.
15:42
I hope that's not true of you.
15:44
We don't sing
15:45
a ton of songs here
15:46
but we sing good
15:47
true
15:48
deep songs
15:49
together.
15:50
They are
15:51
carefully selected.
15:52
They're thoughtfully selected.
15:55
We sang a song
15:56
just before the offering
15:57
called Christ
15:58
the sure
15:59
and steady anchor.
16:01
Just listen to its words.
16:03
Just in case you weren't
16:03
listening to it earlier
16:04
you might grab the hymnal
16:05
that's with you
16:06
and turn to hymn 406.
16:11
Christ
16:11
the sure
16:12
and steady anchor
16:12
in the fury
16:13
of the storm
16:15
when the winds
16:16
of doubt
16:17
blow through me
16:18
and my sails
16:20
have all been torn
16:21
and the suffering
16:23
in the sorrow
16:24
when my sinking
16:26
hopes
16:27
are few.
16:29
I will hold fast
16:30
to the anchor
16:31
it shall never
16:33
be removed.
16:34
And you might say
16:35
but look
16:36
but look Nathan
16:36
look
16:37
there's your work
16:38
in it
16:38
you're holding fast
16:39
to the anchor
16:40
what are we doing
16:40
what are we holding
16:41
on to?
16:43
Christ and his
16:43
completed work.
16:45
We're just remembering
16:46
that there's therefore
16:46
now no condemnation
16:47
for those who are in
16:48
Christ Jesus.
16:50
He did it.
16:51
He accomplished it.
16:52
We're simply
16:53
holding on to the truth
16:55
that it's
16:56
been done.
16:58
Verse 2
16:58
Christ the sure and steady anchor
17:00
while the tempest
17:02
rages on
17:04
when temptation
17:05
claims the battle
17:07
and it seems
17:08
the night has won
17:09
deeper still
17:11
then goes
17:12
the anchor
17:13
though I justly
17:14
stand
17:15
accused
17:16
I will hold fast
17:18
to the anchor
17:19
it shall never
17:20
be removed.
17:22
Christ the sure
17:23
and steady anchor
17:24
through the floods
17:25
of unbelief
17:26
hopeless
17:28
somehow
17:29
oh my soul
17:30
now lift your eyes
17:31
to Calvary
17:33
this my ballast
17:35
of assurance
17:35
see his love
17:37
forever proved
17:39
I will hold fast
17:40
to the anchor
17:41
it shall never
17:42
be removed.
17:45
What Christ has done
17:46
what he accomplished
17:47
on Golgotha
17:49
Christ the sure
17:50
and steady anchor
17:51
as we face
17:52
the waves of death
17:53
when these trials
17:54
give way to glory
17:55
as we draw
17:56
our final breath
17:58
we will cross
17:59
that great horizon
18:00
clouds behind
18:01
and life
18:02
secure
18:03
and the calm
18:05
will be the better
18:06
for the storms
18:07
that we endure.
18:09
Christ the sure
18:10
of our salvation
18:11
ever faithful
18:12
ever true
18:14
we will hold fast
18:16
to the anchor
18:16
it shall never
18:18
be removed.
18:21
God has done it
18:22
he's accomplished
18:24
the work
18:24
if you are in Christ
18:25
it's because
18:26
of him
18:27
he's sure
18:29
to keep
18:30
his promises
18:31
to you
18:32
and he did it
18:34
by sending
18:35
his own
18:36
son
18:37
in the likeness
18:39
of sinful
18:40
flesh
18:41
himself
18:42
not sinful
18:43
the implication
18:44
in that phrase
18:45
there is not
18:45
that he was
18:46
in fact sinful
18:47
like we are sinful
18:49
not
18:49
as our sinful
18:51
flesh
18:51
but like
18:52
our sinful
18:53
flesh
18:53
and for
18:55
sin
18:56
he condemned
18:57
sin
18:57
in
18:58
the flesh
19:00
he condemned
19:01
our sin
19:01
in the flesh
19:02
of Christ
19:04
and he condemned
19:05
it
19:06
so that there
19:06
would no longer
19:07
be condemnation
19:08
for those
19:09
who are in
19:10
Christ Jesus
19:11
how are we
19:12
in Christ Jesus
19:13
by grace
19:14
alone
19:15
through faith
19:16
alone
19:17
in Christ
19:18
alone
19:18
oh the rest
19:20
oh the peace
19:22
oh the joy
19:24
when we lay down
19:25
our striving
19:26
and accept the reality
19:27
that we cannot
19:27
save ourselves
19:29
but have a God
19:30
who is gracious
19:31
and merciful
19:32
slow to anger
19:34
and abounding
19:35
in steadfast love
19:37
that's Psalm
19:38
145
19:39
and verse 8
19:40
to be in Christ
19:42
Jesus means
19:43
that we receive
19:44
all the benefits
19:45
that he has purchased
19:46
and also that he has
19:47
taken all the curse
19:49
that we
19:50
have purchased
19:51
herein we see
19:53
the doctrine
19:54
of penal
19:56
substitutionary
19:57
atonement
19:58
and I have said to you
20:00
and I will continue
20:00
to say to you
20:01
you lose this doctrine
20:02
you lose
20:02
the gospel
20:03
Christ took
20:05
our penalty
20:06
in our
20:07
place
20:09
and therefore
20:09
made peace
20:11
with God
20:12
John Owen
20:14
in his work
20:15
the death of death
20:16
in the death
20:17
of Christ
20:18
which you may have
20:18
heard referenced
20:19
in verse 3
20:20
of that last song
20:21
that we sang together
20:22
written by Matt Boswell
20:24
and Matt Papa
20:25
the Mats are reading
20:26
Owen I do believe
20:27
he said this
20:29
quote
20:29
the death
20:30
and blood shedding
20:31
of Jesus Christ
20:32
hath wrought
20:33
and doth
20:33
effectually procure
20:34
for all those
20:35
that are concerned
20:36
in it
20:37
eternal redemption
20:38
consisting in grace
20:39
here
20:40
and glory
20:41
hereafter
20:43
if you want
20:44
the Nathan
20:45
simple English
20:46
of that
20:47
Christ's work
20:48
accomplished
20:49
our salvation
20:51
right
20:52
so that's
20:54
justification
20:54
that we see
20:55
here in the text
20:56
but we also
20:57
see
20:58
sanctification
20:59
in the text
21:00
and a proper
21:01
view of
21:02
sanctification
21:03
is often called
21:04
progressive
21:05
sanctification
21:06
and we always
21:07
hate to have to
21:08
modify words
21:09
like this
21:09
but there are
21:10
a lot of
21:10
erroneous views
21:11
of sanctification
21:12
out there
21:13
but the doctrine
21:14
of progressive
21:15
sanctification
21:16
simply means
21:16
that once
21:17
we've been
21:17
saved
21:18
we will
21:19
progress
21:20
bit by bit
21:21
towards
21:22
Christ likeness
21:23
this doesn't
21:25
happen with
21:25
perfection
21:25
it's an up
21:26
and a down
21:27
but we will
21:27
be moving
21:29
toward holiness
21:30
so my second
21:31
question is
21:32
why have we
21:33
been set free
21:34
in Christ
21:35
Jesus
21:35
and it's
21:36
so that
21:37
we might
21:38
be
21:38
sanctified
21:39
justification
21:41
sanctification
21:42
necessarily
21:43
leads to
21:44
sanctification
21:46
it
21:46
guarantees
21:47
it
21:47
God has
21:48
began this
21:49
work
21:50
he started
21:51
it and he
21:51
will bring
21:52
it to
21:53
completion
21:55
we must
21:56
be continually
21:57
clear on the
21:59
relationship
21:59
between the
22:00
law
22:00
and the
22:01
gospel
22:01
this gets
22:02
confused
22:03
often in
22:04
people's
22:04
thinking
22:05
what is the
22:06
relationship
22:06
between the
22:07
law
22:07
and the
22:09
gospel
22:09
the law
22:11
helps us
22:12
to see
22:13
our sin
22:13
perhaps
22:14
helps
22:15
produce it
22:15
in us
22:16
Paul
22:16
makes the
22:17
case
22:18
it
22:19
condemns
22:20
us
22:20
in our
22:21
sin
22:22
aiming at
22:23
Christ
22:24
taking us
22:25
to
22:26
the
22:26
gospel
22:27
the gospel
22:28
sets us
22:29
free from
22:30
the condemnation
22:30
that the
22:31
law brings
22:32
and
22:33
sets us
22:33
free
22:34
to obey
22:35
it
22:35
so the
22:37
law
22:37
doesn't
22:37
get done
22:37
away
22:38
with
22:38
altogether
22:39
it now
22:40
comes
22:40
as an
22:41
instructive
22:42
helper
22:42
to us
22:43
it's still
22:44
good
22:45
for
22:45
our
22:46
living
22:47
perhaps
22:48
those who
22:49
have gone
22:50
before us
22:50
can help
22:51
us
22:52
at this
22:53
point
22:53
we've been
22:54
reciting
22:55
together
22:55
the
22:55
heidelberg
22:56
catechism
22:57
this is a
22:59
helpful
22:59
instructional
23:00
tool
23:00
it's been
23:01
around for
23:02
hundreds of
23:03
years
23:03
question
23:04
60
23:05
asked
23:06
how are
23:08
you
23:08
righteous
23:09
before
23:10
god
23:10
we
23:10
answered
23:11
this
23:11
a
23:11
couple
23:11
of
23:11
weeks
23:12
ago
23:12
the
23:13
heidelberg
23:13
answer
23:14
to that
23:14
question
23:14
is
23:15
only
23:16
by
23:16
true
23:16
faith
23:17
in
23:17
jesus
23:18
christ
23:18
although
23:19
my
23:20
conscience
23:20
accuses
23:21
me
23:21
that
23:21
i've
23:21
grievously
23:22
sinned
23:22
against
23:22
all
23:22
god's
23:23
commandments
23:23
have
23:23
never
23:24
kept
23:24
any
23:24
of
23:24
them
23:25
and
23:25
am
23:25
still
23:25
inclined
23:26
to
23:26
all
23:26
evil
23:26
yet
23:27
god
23:27
without
23:28
any
23:28
merit
23:28
of
23:29
my
23:29
own
23:29
out
23:30
of
23:30
mere
23:30
grace
23:31
imputes
23:32
to me
23:32
the
23:33
perfect
23:34
righteousness
23:35
and holiness
23:36
of christ
23:37
he grants
23:38
these to
23:38
me
23:38
as if
23:39
i had
23:39
never
23:39
had
23:40
nor
23:40
committed
23:41
any
23:41
sin
23:42
and as
23:42
if
23:43
i
23:43
myself
23:43
had
23:43
accomplished
23:44
all
23:44
the
23:45
obedience
23:45
which
23:46
christ
23:46
has
23:46
rendered
23:47
for
23:47
me
23:47
if
23:48
only
23:48
i
23:49
accept
23:49
this
23:50
gift
23:50
with
23:51
a
23:51
believing
23:51
heart
23:52
how are
23:54
you
23:54
righteous
23:54
before
23:54
god
23:54
by
23:55
faith
23:56
in
23:57
christ
23:57
question
23:59
61
23:59
why do
24:01
you
24:01
say
24:01
that
24:01
you
24:01
are
24:02
righteous
24:02
only
24:03
by
24:03
faith
24:04
the
24:05
answer
24:05
not
24:05
that
24:06
i
24:06
am
24:06
acceptable
24:06
to
24:06
god
24:07
on
24:07
account
24:07
of
24:07
the
24:08
worthiness
24:08
of
24:08
my
24:08
faith
24:09
for
24:10
only
24:10
the
24:10
satisfaction
24:11
righteousness
24:11
and holiness
24:12
of christ
24:12
is my
24:13
righteousness
24:13
before god
24:14
i can
24:15
receive
24:15
this
24:15
righteousness
24:16
and make
24:16
it
24:17
my
24:17
own
24:17
by
24:18
faith
24:19
only
24:20
then
24:22
you
24:22
recited
24:23
three
24:23
today
24:24
but
24:26
why
24:26
can
24:26
our
24:27
good
24:27
works
24:27
not
24:28
be
24:28
our
24:28
righteousness
24:28
before
24:29
god
24:29
or
24:29
at
24:29
least
24:30
a
24:30
part
24:31
of
24:32
it
24:32
answer
24:34
62
24:34
because
24:35
the
24:35
righteousness
24:35
which
24:35
can
24:36
stand
24:36
before
24:36
god's
24:36
judgment
24:37
must
24:37
be
24:37
absolutely
24:38
perfect
24:39
and in
24:40
complete
24:40
agreement
24:41
with
24:41
the
24:41
law
24:41
of
24:41
god
24:42
whereas
24:42
even
24:42
our
24:42
best
24:43
works
24:43
in
24:43
this
24:43
life
24:44
are
24:44
all
24:44
imperfect
24:45
and
24:46
defiled
24:47
with
24:48
sin
24:48
one of
24:49
the
24:50
references
24:51
for this
24:51
answer
24:52
comes
24:52
from
24:52
isaiah
24:52
chapter
24:53
64
24:53
and
24:54
verse
24:54
6
24:56
which
24:56
says
24:56
we
24:57
have
24:58
all
24:58
become
24:58
like
24:59
one
24:59
who
24:59
is
25:00
unclean
25:00
and
25:00
all
25:01
our
25:01
righteous
25:01
deeds
25:02
are
25:02
like
25:02
a
25:02
polluted
25:03
garment
25:04
we
25:05
all
25:05
fade
25:06
like
25:06
a
25:06
leaf
25:07
and
25:07
our
25:07
iniquities
25:08
like
25:08
the
25:08
wind
25:09
take
25:10
us
25:10
away
25:11
question
25:13
63
25:14
but
25:14
do
25:14
our
25:14
good
25:15
works
25:15
earn
25:16
nothing
25:16
even
25:16
though
25:17
god
25:17
promises
25:17
to
25:18
reward
25:18
them
25:18
in
25:18
this
25:19
life
25:19
and
25:20
the
25:20
next
25:20
answer
25:22
63
25:22
this
25:22
reward
25:23
is
25:23
not
25:23
earned
25:24
it
25:24
is
25:24
a
25:24
gift
25:25
of
25:25
grace
25:27
question
25:29
64
25:30
does
25:30
this
25:30
teaching
25:31
not
25:31
make
25:31
people
25:31
careless
25:32
and
25:33
wicked
25:34
no
25:36
it
25:37
is
25:37
impossible
25:38
that
25:38
those
25:38
grafted
25:39
into
25:39
Christ
25:39
by
25:39
true
25:40
faith
25:40
should
25:40
not
25:40
bring
25:41
forth
25:41
fruits
25:42
of
25:43
thankfulness
25:44
and
25:45
you
25:46
all
25:46
know
25:46
how
25:46
much
25:46
I
25:46
love
25:47
John
25:47
Bunyan
25:48
and
25:49
you
25:49
may
25:49
be
25:49
familiar
25:49
with
25:50
the
25:50
fact
25:50
that
25:50
he
25:50
was
25:51
imprisoned
25:51
for
25:52
being
25:52
a
25:52
preacher
25:52
of
25:53
the
25:53
gospel
25:53
without
25:53
a
25:53
license
25:54
from
25:55
the
25:55
government
25:56
and
25:57
while
25:57
he
25:57
was
25:57
there
25:58
he
25:58
was
25:59
given
25:59
occasion
25:59
to
25:59
stand
26:00
in
26:00
the
26:00
courtyard
26:00
and
26:01
preach
26:01
and
26:01
people
26:01
would
26:02
gather
26:02
around
26:02
the
26:02
outside
26:03
of
26:03
the
26:03
jail
26:03
walls
26:04
simply
26:05
to
26:05
hear
26:05
him
26:05
and
26:07
at
26:07
night
26:07
time
26:07
when
26:07
he
26:07
was
26:08
put
26:08
back
26:08
into
26:08
the
26:08
dungeon
26:09
there
26:09
was
26:09
another
26:10
group
26:10
of
26:11
Christians
26:11
who
26:12
were
26:12
also
26:13
there
26:13
for
26:13
preaching
26:14
without
26:14
a
26:15
license
26:15
although
26:15
of a
26:16
much
26:16
different
26:17
theological
26:17
persuasion
26:19
and
26:19
they
26:19
said
26:20
Bunyan
26:20
if you
26:20
keep
26:21
telling
26:21
people
26:22
of
26:22
God's
26:23
love
26:23
for
26:23
them
26:23
they'll
26:24
live
26:24
however
26:24
they
26:24
want
26:25
to
26:25
there's
26:26
that
26:26
question
26:27
does
26:27
this
26:28
teaching
26:28
not
26:28
make
26:28
people
26:29
careless
26:29
and
26:30
wicked
26:30
and
26:31
he
26:31
responded
26:32
no
26:33
if
26:34
I
26:34
teach
26:34
God's
26:35
people
26:35
about
26:36
God's
26:36
love
26:36
for
26:37
them
26:37
they'll
26:38
live
26:38
however
26:39
he
26:39
wants
26:39
them
26:40
to
26:40
you
26:41
see
26:42
the
26:42
distinction
26:42
right
26:43
so
26:44
very
26:45
careful
26:46
the
26:48
scripture
26:48
texts
26:49
that
26:50
are
26:50
cited
26:51
for
26:51
answer
26:51
64
26:52
are
26:52
texts
26:53
like
26:53
Matthew
26:53
7
26:54
in
26:54
verse
26:54
18
26:55
Jesus
26:55
says
26:55
a
26:56
healthy
26:56
tree
26:56
cannot
26:56
bear
26:57
bad
26:57
fruit
26:57
nor
26:58
can
26:58
a
26:58
diseased
26:58
tree
26:59
bear
26:59
good
27:00
fruit
27:01
and
27:02
Luke
27:02
6
27:02
45
27:03
the
27:03
good
27:03
person
27:04
out
27:04
of
27:04
the
27:04
good
27:04
treasure
27:05
of
27:05
his
27:05
heart
27:05
produces
27:06
!
27:06
good
27:06
and
27:07
the
27:07
evil
27:07
person
27:08
out
27:08
of
27:08
his
27:08
evil
27:09
treasure
27:09
produces
27:09
evil
27:11
for
27:11
out
27:12
of
27:12
the
27:12
abundance
27:12
of
27:13
the
27:13
heart
27:13
his
27:14
mouth
27:15
speaks
27:16
where
27:17
our
27:17
affections
27:18
lie
27:19
is going
27:19
to
27:19
produce
27:20
the
27:21
way
27:21
in
27:21
which
27:21
we
27:21
live
27:22
so
27:23
if
27:23
we
27:23
belong
27:24
to
27:24
God
27:24
in
27:24
Christ
27:25
we're
27:25
going
27:25
to
27:25
find
27:26
a
27:27
growing
27:27
holiness
27:28
in
27:29
us
27:30
now
27:32
we
27:32
see
27:32
in
27:32
verse
27:33
4
27:33
that
27:35
this
27:35
is
27:35
happening
27:35
in
27:36
order
27:36
that
27:36
the
27:36
righteous
27:37
requirement
27:38
of
27:38
the
27:39
law
27:39
might
27:40
be
27:40
fulfilled
27:41
in
27:42
us
27:43
and
27:43
this
27:43
phrase
27:44
might
27:44
be
27:45
fulfilled
27:45
is one
27:45
of
27:46
those
27:46
places
27:46
I
27:47
go
27:47
you
27:48
all
27:49
know
27:49
I'm
27:49
not
27:49
a
27:49
Greek
27:49
scholar
27:50
but
27:50
I
27:50
go
27:50
and
27:50
use
27:51
my
27:51
tools
27:51
and
27:52
I
27:52
look
27:53
at
27:53
it
27:53
it's
27:54
a
27:54
single
27:55
Greek
27:55
word
27:55
might
27:55
be
27:56
fulfilled
27:56
and
27:56
I
27:57
go
27:57
oof
27:58
I
27:58
don't
27:58
know
27:59
if
27:59
that's
27:59
the
27:59
best
27:59
way
28:00
to
28:00
translate
28:00
this
28:00
but
28:01
I
28:01
also
28:01
have
28:01
no
28:01
idea
28:02
how
28:02
I
28:02
would
28:02
translate
28:02
it
28:03
it's
28:03
a
28:04
very
28:04
interesting
28:05
word
28:06
the word
28:08
means
28:08
to
28:09
and I
28:10
quote
28:10
to be
28:11
or become
28:12
satisfied
28:13
concerning
28:14
the
28:15
requirements
28:15
or
28:16
expectations
28:16
of a
28:18
contract
28:18
I
28:20
don't
28:20
know
28:20
how
28:20
you
28:20
would
28:20
make
28:20
that
28:21
flow
28:21
in
28:21
the
28:22
middle
28:22
of
28:22
that
28:23
verse
28:23
but
28:23
what I
28:24
can
28:24
tell
28:24
you
28:24
this
28:24
contextually
28:26
Paul is
28:27
communicating
28:27
that because
28:28
of Christ's
28:29
satisfaction
28:30
of the
28:31
law
28:31
the
28:33
righteous
28:33
requirement
28:34
of the
28:34
law
28:34
the
28:34
possibility
28:35
of our
28:36
fulfillment
28:36
of the
28:37
contract
28:37
exists
28:38
and
28:40
we
28:40
will
28:41
see
28:41
as we
28:41
continue
28:41
to
28:42
study
28:42
the
28:42
chapter
28:43
that
28:44
God
28:44
will
28:44
graciously
28:45
work
28:45
in
28:45
us
28:45
to
28:46
bring
28:46
about
28:46
its
28:47
completion
28:48
we
28:49
will
28:50
fulfill
28:51
the
28:51
righteous
28:51
requirement
28:51
of the
28:52
law
28:52
when
28:52
we
28:52
are
28:52
fully
28:53
and
28:53
finally
28:54
sanctified
28:56
at a
28:56
point
28:57
in our
28:58
history
28:58
that we
28:58
call
28:59
glorification
29:00
we're
29:01
going to
29:02
get there
29:02
and we're
29:02
going to
29:03
wring all
29:03
of that
29:03
out
29:03
I
29:04
promise
29:04
and I'll
29:04
reference
29:05
back to
29:05
verse 4
29:06
as we
29:07
do so
29:08
so
29:09
here it
29:09
is
29:09
it
29:09
exists
29:10
and
29:10
God
29:10
is
29:10
going
29:11
to
29:11
make
29:11
it
29:12
happen
29:12
in
29:13
our
29:13
lives
29:14
again
29:14
if
29:15
we're
29:15
justified
29:15
this
29:16
necessarily
29:17
leads
29:19
to
29:20
sanctification
29:20
if
29:22
you
29:22
are
29:22
in
29:23
Christ
29:23
then
29:23
you
29:24
walk
29:24
not
29:24
according
29:25
to
29:25
the
29:25
flesh
29:25
but
29:26
according
29:27
to
29:28
the
29:28
spirit
29:28
and
29:28
this
29:28
idea
29:29
of
29:29
walking
29:29
refers
29:30
to
29:30
the
29:30
habitual
29:31
pattern
29:32
of
29:32
our
29:32
life
29:33
what
29:33
will
29:34
be
29:34
generally
29:34
true
29:35
of
29:35
us
29:36
is
29:36
that
29:36
we're
29:36
going
29:37
to
29:37
live
29:37
our
29:37
lives
29:38
in
29:38
the
29:38
power
29:39
of
29:39
the
29:40
spirit
29:40
and
29:40
not
29:41
in
29:41
the
29:41
power
29:42
of
29:43
the
29:43
flesh
29:43
so
29:45
if
29:46
you
29:46
are
29:46
in
29:46
Christ
29:47
you
29:47
walk
29:48
according
29:49
to
29:49
the
29:50
spirit
29:50
and
29:51
in
29:51
the
29:52
coming
29:52
weeks
29:52
we
29:52
will
29:52
study
29:53
what
29:53
it
29:53
means
29:53
to
29:53
walk
29:54
according
29:54
to
29:54
the
29:54
spirit
29:55
this
29:55
is
29:55
exactly
29:55
where
29:55
Paul
29:56
is
29:56
going
29:56
he's
29:56
setting
29:57
up
29:57
his
29:58
case
29:58
for
29:59
what
29:59
it
29:59
looks
29:59
like
30:00
to
30:00
walk
30:00
according
30:01
to
30:02
the
30:02
spirit
30:03
but
30:03
I
30:03
want
30:03
to
30:04
conclude
30:04
our
30:05
time
30:05
today
30:06
by
30:06
also
30:06
setting
30:06
us
30:07
up
30:07
for
30:07
the
30:07
coming
30:08
weeks
30:08
and
30:09
issuing
30:09
to
30:10
you
30:10
a
30:11
warning
30:12
many
30:13
in
30:14
our
30:14
day
30:14
make
30:14
too
30:15
much
30:16
of
30:17
the
30:17
Holy
30:17
Spirit
30:17
and
30:18
we
30:18
can
30:19
err
30:19
and
30:19
make
30:19
too
30:20
little
30:20
of
30:20
him
30:20
I'm
30:21
not
30:21
saying
30:22
that
30:22
that's
30:23
not
30:23
also
30:23
possible
30:23
but
30:25
we
30:25
can
30:25
also
30:26
err
30:26
and
30:26
make
30:26
too
30:27
much
30:28
he
30:29
is
30:30
the
30:30
third
30:30
person
30:31
of
30:31
our
30:31
triune
30:32
God
30:32
he
30:33
is
30:33
to
30:33
be
30:33
reverenced
30:34
and
30:35
he
30:35
is
30:35
to
30:35
be
30:35
relied
30:36
upon
30:37
significant
30:38
way
30:38
in
30:39
which
30:39
God
30:39
works
30:40
in
30:41
our
30:41
lives
30:41
he
30:42
is
30:43
not
30:43
to
30:43
be
30:43
relegated
30:44
but
30:45
neither
30:45
is
30:46
he
30:46
to
30:46
be
30:46
elevated
30:47
to
30:47
a
30:47
position
30:47
that
30:48
he
30:48
would
30:49
not
30:49
want
30:50
to
30:51
hold
30:51
the
30:53
Puritans
30:53
called
30:53
him
30:54
the
30:54
shy
30:55
spirit
30:55
and
30:57
his
30:57
primary
30:58
function
30:58
apart
30:59
from
30:59
other
30:59
working
31:00
but
31:01
his
31:01
primary
31:01
function
31:02
is
31:02
to
31:02
magnify
31:03
Christ
31:05
this
31:06
is
31:06
the
31:06
primary
31:06
thing
31:07
that
31:07
the
31:07
spirit
31:07
does
31:09
in
31:09
Romans
31:09
8
31:10
9
31:10
Paul
31:10
calls
31:11
the
31:11
spirit
31:11
the
31:11
spirit
31:12
of
31:13
who
31:14
Christ
31:15
right
31:16
the
31:16
spirit
31:17
of
31:18
Christ
31:19
working
31:20
to
31:20
magnify
31:22
Christ
31:23
some
31:25
months
31:25
ago
31:26
many of
31:27
you probably
31:27
weren't
31:28
here
31:28
we were
31:29
having the
31:30
Lord's
31:30
Supper
31:30
together
31:31
and at
31:31
the
31:31
conclusion
31:32
of a
31:32
song
31:32
a lady
31:34
broke
31:35
out into
31:35
unintelligible
31:36
language in the
31:37
back corner
31:37
of this
31:38
room
31:38
and would
31:40
not
31:40
stop
31:40
and I
31:42
asked her
31:42
to stop
31:43
I told her
31:43
it wasn't her
31:44
turn to
31:44
speak
31:45
a couple
31:45
of times
31:46
and some
31:46
guys
31:47
very kindly
31:48
escorted her
31:49
out of the
31:50
room
31:50
very kindly
31:52
spoke to
31:53
her
31:53
she was
31:54
furious
31:54
we were
31:55
quenching
31:55
the spirit
31:56
she couldn't
31:56
believe it
31:57
she left
31:57
we've never
31:58
seen her
31:58
again
31:59
and some
32:00
people ask
32:01
me
32:01
just
32:01
honest
32:03
you know
32:04
well intended
32:05
question
32:05
should you
32:06
have asked
32:07
for an
32:08
interpretation
32:09
and I
32:10
said no
32:10
because I
32:11
can tell
32:12
you that
32:12
was not
32:13
the spirit
32:13
of Christ
32:14
why do I
32:15
know this
32:16
because we
32:17
were in the
32:18
middle of
32:19
taking the
32:19
Lord's
32:20
supper which
32:20
is all
32:21
about the
32:21
magnification
32:22
of Christ
32:23
the spirit
32:24
of Christ
32:24
was in
32:25
this room
32:26
doing a
32:26
work in
32:27
our hearts
32:27
as we
32:28
sang true
32:28
songs
32:29
as we
32:29
had the
32:30
elements
32:30
as we
32:31
were thinking
32:31
together
32:32
about the
32:32
sacrificial
32:32
work of
32:33
Jesus Christ
32:33
on our
32:34
behalf
32:34
the spirit
32:34
was doing
32:35
a work
32:36
in here
32:36
but not
32:37
in her
32:39
and we
32:41
can just
32:41
be sure
32:41
of that
32:42
why
32:42
because the
32:43
spirit
32:44
magnifies
32:45
Christ
32:46
does not
32:46
distract
32:47
the spirit
32:48
never says
32:49
hey look
32:49
at me
32:49
I'm that
32:51
poor pitiful
32:51
part of the
32:52
trinity that
32:52
you don't pay
32:53
much attention
32:53
to
32:54
not at all
32:55
not at all
32:57
listen to
32:58
martin lloy jones
32:59
speak of
33:00
the spirit
33:01
he says
33:01
the spirit
33:01
does not
33:02
glorify
33:03
himself
33:04
he glorifies
33:05
the son
33:06
this is to
33:07
me one of
33:08
the most
33:08
amazing and
33:09
remarkable
33:09
things about
33:10
the biblical
33:10
doctrine of
33:11
the holy
33:11
spirit
33:12
the holy
33:13
spirit
33:13
seems to
33:13
hide himself
33:14
and to
33:14
conceal
33:15
himself
33:15
he is
33:16
always as
33:17
it were
33:17
putting the
33:18
focus on
33:19
the son
33:20
and that is
33:20
why I
33:21
believe
33:21
and I
33:22
believe
33:22
profoundly
33:23
that the
33:23
best test
33:24
of all
33:25
as to
33:25
whether we
33:25
have received
33:26
the spirit
33:27
is to
33:27
ask
33:27
ourselves
33:28
what do
33:29
we think
33:29
of and
33:30
what do
33:30
we know
33:31
about
33:31
the son
33:32
is the
33:34
son real
33:34
to us
33:35
that is
33:36
the working
33:36
of the
33:37
spirit
33:37
and let
33:38
me pause
33:39
and that's
33:39
a miraculous
33:40
thing
33:40
when people
33:41
come to
33:42
faith in
33:42
Jesus
33:42
Christ
33:43
they're
33:43
going from
33:44
spiritual
33:44
death
33:45
to
33:45
spiritual
33:45
life
33:46
how
33:47
amazing
33:48
need we
33:49
look further
33:50
for miracles
33:51
again back
33:52
to the
33:53
quotation
33:53
he is
33:53
glorified
33:55
indirectly
33:56
he is
33:57
always pointing
33:57
us to
33:58
the son
33:58
and so
33:59
you see
34:00
how easily
34:00
we go
34:01
astray
34:01
and become
34:02
heretical
34:02
if we
34:03
concentrate
34:03
over much
34:04
and in
34:04
an unscriptural
34:05
manner
34:05
upon the
34:06
spirit
34:06
himself
34:07
yes
34:08
we must
34:09
realize
34:09
that he
34:09
dwells
34:10
within us
34:10
but his
34:12
work in
34:12
dwelling
34:12
within us
34:13
is to
34:13
glorify
34:14
the son
34:14
and to
34:15
bring to
34:15
us that
34:16
blessed
34:16
knowledge
34:17
of the
34:17
son
34:17
and of
34:17
his
34:18
wondrous
34:18
love
34:18
to us
34:19
it is
34:20
he who
34:21
strengthens
34:21
us
34:21
with the
34:22
might
34:22
in the
34:22
inner
34:22
man
34:23
that we
34:23
may
34:23
know
34:24
this
34:24
love
34:24
this
34:25
love
34:26
of
34:26
Christ
34:28
the way
34:30
he works
34:30
the spirit
34:31
of
34:31
Christ
34:33
another
34:35
Dan Phillips
34:36
who is a
34:36
contemporary
34:37
pastor
34:37
once said
34:39
show me a
34:40
person
34:40
obsessed with
34:41
the Holy
34:41
Spirit
34:41
and his
34:42
gifts
34:42
real or
34:43
imagined
34:43
and I will
34:45
show you a
34:45
person
34:45
not filled
34:46
with the
34:47
Holy Spirit
34:47
show me a
34:49
person
34:49
focused on
34:50
the
34:50
person
34:50
and work
34:51
of
34:51
Jesus
34:51
Christ
34:52
never
34:52
tiring
34:53
of
34:53
learning
34:54
about
34:54
him
34:54
thinking
34:55
about
34:55
him
34:55
boasting
34:56
of him
34:56
speaking
34:57
about
34:57
and for
34:58
and to
34:58
him
34:59
thrilled
35:00
and
35:00
entranced
35:01
with his
35:01
perfections
35:02
and beauty
35:02
finding ways
35:04
to serve
35:04
and exalt
35:05
him
35:05
tirelessly
35:06
exploring
35:07
ways
35:07
to spend
35:08
and be
35:08
spent
35:08
for him
35:09
growing
35:10
in character
35:11
to be
35:11
more
35:11
and more
35:12
like him
35:12
and I
35:13
will show
35:14
you a
35:14
person
35:14
who is
35:15
filled
35:15
with the
35:16
Holy Spirit
35:17
so
35:19
the work
35:20
this morning
35:21
of the
35:22
Spirit
35:22
in our
35:23
lives
35:23
those of
35:23
us who
35:24
are in
35:24
Christ
35:24
Jesus
35:25
who are
35:25
filled
35:26
with the
35:27
Spirit
35:27
because we
35:28
are in
35:28
Christ
35:29
is to
35:31
help us
35:31
believe
35:32
this text
35:33
to help
35:34
us to
35:35
see it
35:35
and go
35:35
there is
35:36
therefore
35:37
no
35:37
condemnation
35:38
for me
35:38
because
35:39
I'm in
35:39
Christ
35:40
I can
35:41
hold that
35:42
I can
35:42
take that
35:43
into my
35:43
week
35:44
I can
35:45
have the
35:45
truth
35:46
of that
35:46
inform
35:47
me
35:48
because
35:49
the
35:49
Spirit
35:49
of
35:49
life
35:49
has
35:50
set
35:51
me
35:51
free
35:51
for
35:51
life
35:52
in
35:52
Christ
35:53
Jesus
35:53
I'm no
35:54
longer
35:54
bound
35:55
to my
35:56
sin
35:56
I've
35:56
been
35:57
set
35:57
free
35:57
to live
35:59
because
35:59
God
36:00
has done
36:00
God
36:00
has
36:01
accomplished
36:01
what I
36:02
couldn't
36:02
accomplish
36:03
on my
36:03
own
36:03
he sent
36:04
his
36:04
son
36:05
to die
36:06
in my
36:06
place
36:06
to take
36:07
my
36:07
sin
36:07
and to
36:08
give
36:08
me
36:09
his
36:09
perfect
36:10
life
36:11
and now
36:12
I have
36:12
freedom
36:13
to run
36:14
and space
36:15
to go
36:16
obey
36:17
God's
36:17
good
36:18
law
36:19
for me
36:20
this is the
36:22
miracle
36:22
that the
36:23
Spirit
36:23
will do
36:24
this morning
36:25
in our
36:26
hearts
36:26
if we
36:27
would ask
36:28
so let me
36:30
read the
36:30
text one
36:31
more time
36:31
I just
36:32
summarized it
36:33
but let me
36:33
read it
36:33
and pray
36:34
that he
36:35
would do
36:35
that work
36:36
there is
36:37
therefore
36:37
now no
36:39
condemnation
36:39
for those
36:40
who are
36:40
in
36:40
Christ
36:41
Jesus
36:41
for the
36:43
law
36:43
of the
36:43
Spirit
36:44
of life
36:44
has set
36:45
you
36:45
free
36:45
in
36:45
Christ
36:46
Jesus
36:46
from the
36:46
law
36:47
of sin
36:47
and death
36:48
for God
36:49
has done
36:49
what the
36:50
law
36:50
weakened
36:50
by the
36:51
flesh
36:51
could
36:52
not
36:52
do
36:52
by sending
36:54
his
36:54
own
36:54
son
36:54
in the
36:55
likeness
36:55
of
36:55
sinful
36:56
flesh
36:56
and
36:56
for
36:57
sin
36:57
he
36:57
condemned
36:58
sin
36:58
in the
36:59
flesh
37:00
in order
37:00
that
37:01
the
37:01
righteous
37:02
requirement
37:02
of the
37:03
law
37:03
might be
37:03
fulfilled
37:04
in us
37:04
who walk
37:05
not
37:06
according
37:06
to the
37:07
flesh
37:07
but
37:08
according
37:08
to the
37:09
Spirit
37:10
let's
37:11
pray
37:11
together
