I'll turn back to the passage that we read in Romans. Romans chapter 8 verse 1.
0:10
There is now therefore now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus.
0:18
As we read through this section here together, admittedly it's not the easiest passage to read.
0:30
It's not the simplest to follow. It's best read slowly.
0:37
And that probably goes for the rest of the chapters previous in Romans as well.
0:42
Paul goes into great theological truths.
0:46
He goes back to Abraham's faith. He goes back to Adam's son.
0:54
And as he walks his way through these chapters to the one we're at here,
0:58
it's almost as if he's developing things by asking questions.
1:04
You read Romans yourself and you'll see all these questions he's asking
1:09
as he goes through these subjects or whatever he's discussing, the faith, sin, the law.
1:18
He's asking questions all the way through it.
1:22
It's like he's taking stepping stones in his developing theology and his teaching.
1:28
He asks as he's going, what of these things?
1:34
If we say this, what now?
1:36
And therefore, if we are in this place, what is the result of that?
1:43
What shall we say then?
1:46
What then?
1:47
As he's dwelling on these theological truths, he's then going to the next step and the next step and the next step.
1:59
And these steps that he takes, he comes to the relevance of the law here.
2:06
The law to the new believer and where it fits in their lives.
2:10
And he considers this law by which should be lived in obedience to.
2:17
And he then naturally shifts when he considers this law into a personal assessment of himself.
2:26
And as he does that self-assessment on himself, it's a reassurance to us.
2:35
When we read his words here, that the great apostle, the great theologian, the great epistle writer battles with sin.
2:47
We read here there's a conflict going on within him.
2:50
There's two differing sides, two differing wills at war.
2:55
The old and the new man.
2:58
The spirit of life and the spirit of the flesh.
3:03
Fighting against each other.
3:05
The power of sin.
3:07
Maybe we thought when we became a Christian, things would be easy.
3:12
There would be no struggles.
3:14
There would be no battles.
3:16
But when we see Paul here, looking in the depths of his own heart, we see this war going on.
3:24
And it's a war that I'm sure many of us can relate to.
3:29
A conflict that many of us had felt in our lives.
3:33
And the power of sin comes in.
3:35
And it goes against what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for us.
3:40
As we come to this passage, he considers the law.
3:48
Maybe just simplify what he's saying for us.
3:52
Trying to break it down a wee bit.
3:54
Paul is saying the law here is a good thing for him because it shows him what sin is.
4:03
It shows him who he is in the sight of God.
4:06
It highlights to him that he has broken the law.
4:10
He's broken the law just as we would break any law.
4:17
If you're speeding in your car, you've broken the law.
4:21
The law tells you that you've done something wrong.
4:26
It highlights your guilt.
4:29
Maybe it speaks to your conscience.
4:31
And if you're caught having broken the law, you'd be expected to be charged.
4:39
You'd expect that there would be some form of punishment for breaking the law.
4:43
But if you went to another country where there was no speed limits and no laws, you could do whatever speed you wanted.
4:51
And there would be no condemnation.
4:54
There would be no charge.
4:55
There would be no guilt.
4:58
You would not make any error.
5:00
There would be no punishment for you because there was no law.
5:04
So Paul recognizes the law here.
5:09
It points out his sin.
5:12
It points out and highlights that he would know sin.
5:17
He feels the guilt of sin in his life.
5:20
So we read there in verse 7.
5:24
The law is, if it had not been for the law, I would have not known sin.
5:32
It tells him when he's offended God, not when he's offended the government.
5:39
And as we go through this passage, when he sees what is recorded there, the covetousness in his own life,
5:48
he keeps going and it seems like the sins are prevailing in his life.
5:55
It seems like every avenue of his life has some sort of sin in it.
6:00
And as we continue reading it, the battle that goes on, it says that he is captive to the law of sin in verse 23.
6:17
He's captive to it.
6:20
It's like there's no escape from it.
6:24
The law condemns Paul.
6:27
But in spite of all these sins in his life,
6:34
he knows that there is an escape from the punishment that should be his through the Lord Jesus Christ.
6:41
Where all that guilt is washed away,
6:45
where the charge is non-existent,
6:48
where there is nothing to condemn him,
6:51
Jesus pays the price so that he can be free.
7:00
And to use that imagery of the speeding ticket again,
7:04
it's like as if someone else is paying the fine that is given to you.
7:11
Justice is done.
7:15
The fine is paid.
7:17
The government are happy.
7:20
It's been settled.
7:22
But if someone else pays it for you,
7:25
it is of no cost to you.
7:28
Someone else has taken the punishment and paid the price.
7:31
And it's just like that is what Christ has done for us.
7:37
He satisfies God's justice.
7:41
He pays the price of our sins and all our offences against the law.
7:49
And it is of no cost to us.
7:52
It is all done for us.
7:54
It is all of his grace and mercy towards us.
7:58
Paul, as he's going through this later,
8:04
he's writing about the law.
8:06
He looks at himself.
8:09
He sees that he is guilty.
8:14
The sins that lie within him.
8:17
He comes to that point
8:20
where he sees that Christ has set him free
8:25
from all the guilt that he deserves.
8:28
And in light of what Christ has done,
8:31
he goes on to write
8:33
one of the most comforting chapters for the believer,
8:38
where he emphasizes the great promises and privileges
8:42
that the believer receives through Christ Jesus there in chapter 8.
8:48
It's a wonderful chapter for us to come back to
8:51
now and again in our lives
8:53
and come back to often,
8:54
even if it is only that first verse that we read.
8:59
There is now therefore no condemnation
9:02
for those that are in Christ Jesus.
9:06
Jesus has satisfied the righteous requirements
9:09
of the law for us there in chapter 8, verse 4,
9:13
so that we are free from all condemnation.
9:18
Just to give our minds,
9:24
give a few thoughts to that verse,
9:28
that there is now therefore no condemnation
9:31
for those who are in Christ Jesus.
9:34
Firstly,
9:36
we must consider,
9:39
well,
9:39
what was the condemnation?
9:41
What does it mean that he was condemned before?
9:45
That there is therefore now no condemnation?
9:48
And then secondly,
9:49
we'll ask then,
9:50
well,
9:50
what does it mean to have no condemnation?
9:55
So firstly,
9:57
what does it mean to be condemned?
10:01
What is the condemnation that Paul felt prior
10:05
to knowing that there is no condemnation?
10:10
Well,
10:10
if anyone's condemned,
10:11
there is an accusation or a charge made against them.
10:16
And the law is condemning Paul here.
10:20
The law is making a charge against Paul.
10:23
For all his sins that he has committed
10:26
and he admits he has sinned.
10:29
He's holding his hands up
10:31
and saying that he is guilty.
10:35
He says that the sins in his life
10:38
are blindingly obvious
10:41
and sinful beyond measure
10:43
there in verse 13 of chapter 7.
10:48
they're completely evident to him.
10:54
He holds up his hands.
10:56
He says he is guilty.
10:59
And as he makes a confession of his sin
11:02
and he looks probing into himself,
11:08
he can feel the frustration as he writes.
11:12
He's still committing sin,
11:16
even as a believer.
11:18
He's still condemning himself
11:20
by the law
11:22
before God.
11:24
He explains the battle
11:26
and turmoil within himself.
11:30
He continues fighting
11:31
and warring
11:33
between the old man and the new.
11:35
The flesh still has its desires.
11:39
The body is still seeking
11:41
its natural inclinations.
11:44
You can almost hear his groaning
11:46
as he writes
11:47
from verse 15
11:50
through to verse 20.
11:53
Where he looks at himself
11:55
and he's saying,
11:56
I do this
11:57
and I do that
11:59
and I don't want to be doing these things
12:01
but I keep doing it.
12:06
He can't stop himself
12:08
from sinning.
12:10
It just keeps happening
12:11
over and over again.
12:14
For I do not do the good I want
12:17
but the evil I do not want
12:19
is what I keep doing.
12:22
He moans that he does not
12:24
understand his own actions
12:27
in verse 15 even.
12:31
Because that power of sin
12:33
that power of the flesh
12:36
has him captive
12:39
in verse 23.
12:45
The war that is going on
12:47
the law of my mind
12:50
and making me captive
12:51
to the law of sin
12:52
that dwells in his members.
12:55
There's no ability within him
12:57
to escape this power of law.
13:01
In every way he feels condemned.
13:05
When he looks at himself
13:06
he's broken the law.
13:08
He deserves to be punished.
13:11
And then that great cry
13:13
comes from him
13:14
in verse 24.
13:17
Ah, wretched man that I am.
13:21
Wretched man that I am.
13:23
And I wonder if we've ever said that
13:27
of ourselves.
13:29
When we look in the depths of our heart
13:32
and we see the desires of our flesh
13:36
waging war against the life
13:40
that we want to live.
13:42
I wonder do we feel like Paul tonight.
13:49
When we consider the things
13:51
that we've done
13:52
the things that we continue to do
13:55
we look at ourselves
13:58
and we can be appalled with ourselves.
14:00
We can groan when we look at ourselves.
14:03
Maybe we've said the wrong thing to someone.
14:06
Maybe we've said something
14:07
we should never have said.
14:11
Especially
14:12
when I consider myself
14:14
one of the Lord's people.
14:16
Why do I keep doing these things
14:18
that I hate?
14:23
Maybe
14:23
the sinfulness of our thoughts
14:26
are miles away
14:29
from where they should be.
14:30
And we're lusting after
14:34
the things of the flesh continually.
14:37
And we question ourselves
14:39
how on earth can I be a Christian?
14:43
Maybe you're saying to yourself
14:44
how on earth can I sit at the Lord's table
14:47
when sin is so prevalent
14:51
within me and my heart?
14:56
I'm sure
14:57
as you know
14:58
there are
14:59
many days
15:01
when we say to ourselves
15:03
as believers
15:04
what on earth can I do?
15:08
Paul says
15:09
I don't understand
15:11
my own actions.
15:14
But
15:14
he realises
15:17
that sin
15:20
is present in him.
15:25
He confesses his sinfulness
15:27
they shall
15:29
resentment towards sin
15:31
they shall hatred
15:33
for sin in his life.
15:36
And that is because
15:38
the spirit is at work
15:39
in him.
15:41
The war has begun.
15:44
The flesh and the spirit
15:45
are fighting against each other.
15:48
The spirit
15:49
may be pushing you one way
15:51
and the flesh
15:53
pulling you in another direction.
15:54
the spirit
15:56
is pushing you
15:57
to read your Bible
15:58
to pray
15:58
and the flesh
16:00
is pulling you
16:01
to pick up your phone
16:02
or to pick up the paper.
16:05
and you groan
16:09
over
16:10
that battle.
16:12
And you
16:13
hate
16:14
the time
16:15
that
16:17
that sinfulness
16:18
takes up.
16:20
You spend time
16:22
doing things
16:22
that you shouldn't.
16:24
You spend time
16:24
doing things
16:25
that you wish
16:26
you wouldn't.
16:27
And yet
16:27
we still
16:28
come back
16:29
to doing them
16:30
again
16:31
and again
16:32
and again.
16:32
it's just as if
16:34
we are captive
16:35
to the power
16:36
of sin.
16:38
And that is a
16:38
constant battle
16:40
for the Christian.
16:42
A constant battle
16:43
that we must be prepared
16:46
to fight for
16:47
but it's a constant battle
16:49
that we'll experience
16:50
while we are in
16:52
this body
16:52
of flesh.
16:55
And yes
16:56
we have
16:57
broken
16:58
the law
16:58
and when we
17:02
come before
17:03
God's
17:03
justice
17:04
we confess
17:06
that we are
17:07
due
17:07
our punishment.
17:09
When we look
17:10
at ourselves
17:11
probingly
17:12
we see
17:13
I'm guilty
17:14
I'm guilty
17:15
I'm guilty
17:16
I'm guilty
17:17
I'm guilty
17:17
we see
17:19
just like
17:20
Paul
17:20
in verse 18
17:21
where he says
17:22
that
17:23
there is
17:24
nothing good
17:25
dwelling within
17:26
me
17:27
within my
17:28
flesh
17:28
but that's
17:33
often the place
17:33
where the Lord
17:34
takes us
17:35
before
17:37
we profess
17:39
our faith
17:40
and trust
17:40
and need
17:41
in the Lord
17:42
Jesus Christ
17:43
we see
17:44
that there is
17:45
nothing good
17:46
in us
17:46
we must
17:48
turn
17:49
and put
17:51
our trust
17:52
in someone
17:52
else
17:53
because I
17:54
cannot
17:54
trust
17:55
myself
17:56
we have
17:58
seen
17:59
her helplessness
18:02
before
18:02
God
18:03
and his
18:04
justice
18:04
and we
18:06
too
18:07
have cried
18:07
out like
18:08
Paul
18:08
wretched
18:10
man
18:10
that I
18:11
am
18:11
who
18:13
will
18:13
deliver
18:13
me
18:14
from
18:14
this
18:14
body
18:15
of
18:15
death
18:16
captive
18:18
to the
18:18
power
18:19
of sin
18:20
justly
18:21
condemned
18:22
to death
18:22
is there
18:23
any way
18:24
for us
18:25
to escape
18:25
but of course
18:28
there is
18:29
there is only
18:31
one way
18:32
and the escape
18:34
is found
18:34
in Jesus
18:35
Christ
18:35
and Paul's
18:38
groaning
18:38
is then
18:40
turned
18:40
when he
18:41
looks towards
18:42
Christ
18:43
and prays
18:44
saying
18:46
with thankfulness
18:48
thanks be to God
18:50
through Jesus Christ
18:52
our Lord
18:53
he turns
18:59
to the Lord
19:01
he turns
19:01
to the Lord
19:02
because he has
19:02
nowhere else
19:03
to go
19:04
and that is
19:06
where we must
19:07
turn
19:07
to the Lord
19:10
Jesus Christ
19:11
when we have
19:12
nowhere else
19:13
to go
19:14
and we turn
19:17
towards him
19:19
the deep
19:23
hatred
19:24
against that
19:26
sin
19:26
that is
19:27
in our
19:27
lives
19:27
the sin
19:29
that condemns
19:30
us
19:30
the sin
19:32
that makes
19:33
us guilty
19:34
but when we
19:36
turn to
19:37
Christ
19:37
we find
19:39
a hope
19:39
of escape
19:40
we find
19:42
that he
19:43
is the one
19:44
who has
19:44
redeemed us
19:45
we find
19:47
that what
19:48
Paul says
19:49
here in
19:50
verse 1
19:50
that there is
19:51
now therefore
19:52
no condemnation
19:53
for those
19:54
that are in
19:54
Christ Jesus
19:55
is true
19:56
because he
20:00
has taken
20:01
away
20:01
all our
20:03
guilt
20:04
all our
20:05
sin
20:06
he has
20:07
paid the
20:08
price
20:08
he has
20:10
set us
20:10
free
20:11
from the
20:12
things that
20:12
held us
20:13
captive
20:13
and though
20:18
we are
20:19
rightly
20:19
accused
20:20
by the
20:20
law
20:20
of being
20:21
guilty
20:21
when we
20:23
think
20:23
about it
20:24
Christ
20:27
sets us
20:29
free
20:29
chapter 8
20:31
verse 1
20:32
brings a
20:32
massive
20:33
sigh of
20:33
relief
20:34
for the
20:37
Christian
20:37
the
20:39
verdict
20:40
of
20:40
condemnation
20:41
has been
20:41
turned
20:42
around
20:42
where we
20:44
were
20:45
condemned
20:45
there is
20:46
now
20:47
therefore
20:47
no
20:48
condemnation
20:50
what does
20:52
it mean
20:52
to have
20:53
no
20:53
condemnation
20:54
what does
20:55
it mean
20:55
to say
20:56
that we
20:56
are not
20:57
condemned
20:57
well
21:00
in simple
21:01
terms
21:01
it means
21:01
there's
21:02
no guilt
21:03
there's
21:04
no sentence
21:05
and there's
21:05
no punishment
21:06
due to
21:07
us
21:07
and though
21:10
we know
21:10
the law
21:12
condemns us
21:13
we are
21:13
captive to
21:14
the power
21:14
we cannot
21:15
set ourselves
21:16
free
21:16
it is a
21:19
fundamental
21:19
point of the
21:20
reformed faith
21:21
that it is
21:22
not of
21:22
ourselves
21:23
it is
21:25
nothing of
21:25
ourselves
21:26
it is all
21:27
of grace
21:27
it is nothing
21:29
of our own
21:30
goodness
21:30
it is nothing
21:31
of our own
21:31
merit
21:32
we cannot
21:34
work our
21:35
own
21:35
salvation
21:36
we cannot
21:38
undo
21:39
old sins
21:40
by obeying
21:42
the law
21:43
for a
21:43
time
21:44
we cannot
21:46
pay
21:47
the judgment
21:48
that is due
21:49
to us
21:50
the only
21:53
reason we
21:54
can say
21:54
there is no
21:55
condemnation
21:56
is because
21:58
someone else
21:59
has acquired
22:00
that for us
22:01
Christ
22:02
Jesus
22:03
has acquired
22:04
that status
22:06
for us
22:06
that we are
22:08
not condemned
22:09
in the sight
22:10
of God
22:11
he has
22:15
borne
22:15
all
22:16
our
22:16
punishment
22:17
he has
22:19
taken
22:19
all that
22:20
sin
22:21
from us
22:22
but the
22:24
sin is not
22:24
just
22:25
taken away
22:26
and swept
22:27
under the
22:27
carpet
22:28
the sin
22:30
is not
22:30
just
22:30
waved
22:31
as God
22:32
would say
22:32
well I'll
22:34
let you
22:34
off with
22:34
it
22:35
this time
22:36
sin
22:39
is still
22:39
the price
22:41
of sin
22:41
is still
22:42
paid for
22:42
Christ
22:47
Christ
22:47
pays
22:48
for
22:49
our
22:50
sins
22:51
all
22:53
these
22:53
sins
22:53
when you
22:54
look at
22:54
yourself
22:55
when you
22:56
look at
22:56
the law
22:57
when you
22:58
look at
22:58
the list
22:59
Christ
23:01
paid for
23:02
everyone
23:02
they've all
23:05
been
23:06
transferred
23:06
to him
23:08
they've
23:10
all been
23:11
imputed
23:11
to him
23:12
he is
23:16
made
23:16
guilty
23:17
so that
23:19
you are
23:19
made
23:19
free
23:20
and you
23:23
think
23:24
well
23:24
is that
23:25
fair
23:25
is it
23:26
fair
23:27
that
23:27
Jesus
23:28
gets
23:30
all of
23:30
our
23:30
sin
23:31
and we
23:32
get all
23:32
of our
23:32
righteousness
23:33
all of
23:34
his
23:34
goodness
23:35
and in
23:36
many ways
23:37
it isn't
23:37
fair
23:38
but it
23:40
is what
23:41
he did
23:41
for us
23:42
because he
23:43
loves us
23:43
it is
23:46
his
23:47
compassion
23:48
towards
23:49
his
23:49
people
23:49
because
23:51
he sees
23:52
your need
23:54
he sees
23:56
how captive
23:57
you are
23:57
by sin
23:58
and he
24:00
knows
24:01
that the
24:02
only way
24:02
that you
24:03
will be
24:03
set free
24:04
is if
24:05
he
24:05
pays
24:06
the
24:07
price
24:07
if he
24:08
bears
24:09
the
24:10
punishment
24:10
his
24:13
compassion
24:13
is in
24:14
seeing
24:15
your need
24:16
your guilt
24:17
but is
24:19
accompanied
24:20
by
24:22
his great
24:22
act
24:23
of redeeming
24:24
you
24:24
of setting
24:25
you free
24:26
to bear
24:28
your sin
24:29
so that
24:31
we can
24:31
say
24:32
there is
24:33
no more
24:34
condemnation
24:35
for those
24:37
who trust
24:38
in Jesus
24:38
Christ
24:40
the Lord
24:45
Jesus
24:46
has set
24:46
us
24:47
free
24:47
from that
24:48
burden
24:49
of sin
24:50
the Lord
24:52
Jesus
24:53
satisfies
24:55
God's
24:56
justice
24:57
by dying
25:00
on the
25:00
cross
25:00
and
25:01
bailing out
25:01
punishment
25:02
satisfies
25:05
the righteous
25:06
requirement
25:06
covenant
25:07
of the law
25:07
for us
25:08
we look at
25:15
the list
25:16
of sins
25:17
in our
25:17
lives
25:18
and it's
25:21
not just
25:22
that they are
25:23
stroked off
25:24
and we are
25:26
therefore
25:26
not condemned
25:27
the sins
25:30
are stroked
25:31
off
25:31
but we are
25:34
given Christ's
25:35
righteousness
25:35
in place
25:37
of the sin
25:39
that is taken
25:40
away from us
25:41
all our
25:43
guilt
25:44
is given
25:46
to Christ
25:47
all the
25:49
negative
25:49
aspects
25:50
that condemn
25:51
us
25:51
Christ
25:53
bears
25:53
and all
25:55
the privileges
25:56
of Christ
25:57
that he
25:58
deserves
25:59
is
26:01
imputed
26:02
to us
26:03
it is
26:04
given to us
26:05
given to
26:07
those who
26:07
believe in
26:08
Jesus Christ
26:09
we receive
26:10
all the
26:11
privileges
26:12
that Christ
26:15
deserves
26:16
we receive
26:18
the privileges
26:19
to be
26:19
children
26:20
of God
26:21
and fellow
26:22
heirs
26:23
with Christ
26:24
Jesus
26:25
as he goes
26:26
on to say
26:27
in chapter
26:29
8
26:29
there is
26:35
now therefore
26:35
no condemnation
26:37
because Christ
26:39
has loved us
26:40
with an eternal
26:41
love
26:42
he has
26:44
sought to
26:45
set us
26:46
free
26:46
from the
26:47
captivity
26:47
of our
26:48
sins
26:48
that he
26:52
would
26:52
redeem
26:53
his
26:54
people
26:55
that he
26:56
would
26:57
proclaim
26:57
liberty
26:58
to the
26:58
captives
26:59
as Isaiah
27:00
61
27:01
says
27:02
Isaiah
27:05
61
27:05
says
27:06
that
27:06
he
27:07
would
27:08
proclaim
27:08
liberty
27:08
to the
27:09
captives
27:09
opening
27:12
of the
27:13
prisons
27:13
to those
27:14
who are
27:14
bound
27:14
so
27:17
Jesus
27:17
has set
27:18
you
27:18
free
27:19
from
27:19
that
27:19
enslaving
27:20
power
27:20
of sin
27:21
but he
27:23
gives you
27:24
the oil
27:24
of gladness
27:25
instead
27:26
of mourning
27:27
he gives
27:29
you a
27:29
garment
27:30
of
27:30
praise
27:32
instead
27:33
of a
27:33
faint
27:34
spirit
27:34
and then
27:36
it says
27:37
of those
27:38
that he
27:40
sets
27:41
free
27:41
that
27:42
they
27:42
will
27:42
be
27:43
called
27:43
oaks
27:44
of
27:44
righteousness
27:45
righteous
27:47
in the
27:48
sight
27:49
of
27:49
God
27:49
righteous
27:51
because
27:52
of
27:52
what
27:53
Christ
27:53
has
27:53
achieved
27:54
for
27:54
us
27:55
and
27:56
in
27:56
that
27:56
confidence
27:57
we
27:58
draw
27:58
near
27:59
to
27:59
God
28:00
not
28:01
resting
28:02
in
28:02
anything
28:02
of
28:02
ourselves
28:03
but
28:04
resting
28:04
in
28:05
the
28:05
perfect
28:06
obedience
28:07
and
28:08
work
28:08
of
28:09
Jesus
28:09
Christ
28:10
who
28:11
has
28:11
set
28:12
us
28:12
free
28:12
so
28:13
that
28:13
we
28:13
are
28:14
not
28:14
condemned
28:14
Paul
28:17
in
28:18
Romans
28:19
asks
28:19
lots
28:19
of
28:19
questions
28:20
and
28:21
he
28:21
develops
28:22
this
28:23
letter
28:24
asking
28:25
these
28:25
questions
28:26
how do
28:28
we develop
28:28
our lives
28:29
knowing
28:30
this
28:30
truth
28:31
knowing
28:32
that
28:33
Christ
28:33
has
28:33
set
28:34
us
28:34
free
28:34
from
28:35
the
28:35
power
28:35
of
28:35
sin
28:36
that
28:36
has
28:36
enslaved
28:37
us
28:37
and
28:38
that
28:39
there
28:39
is
28:39
now
28:39
therefore
28:39
no
28:40
condemnation
28:41
for
28:41
those
28:41
who
28:42
believe
28:42
in
28:42
Jesus
28:42
Christ
28:43
what
28:44
now
28:45
what
28:47
now
28:48
for
28:48
you
28:48
what
28:50
is
28:50
the
28:50
next
28:50
step
28:51
for
28:52
you
28:52
knowing
28:53
this
28:54
truth
28:54
where
28:56
will
28:57
this
28:57
take
28:57
you
28:57
I
28:59
pray
29:00
that
29:00
we
29:00
put
29:00
our
29:00
trust
29:01
in
29:01
the
29:02
Lord
29:02
Jesus
29:02
and
29:03
recall
29:04
and
29:05
remember
29:05
to
29:06
come
29:06
back
29:06
to
29:06
these
29:07
great
29:07
promises
29:07
that
29:08
we
29:08
have
29:08
in
29:08
scripture
29:09
remembering
29:11
the work
29:11
of
29:12
Christ
29:12
and
29:13
what
29:13
he
29:13
has
29:13
done
29:13
for
29:14
us
29:14
I
29:15
pray
29:15
these
29:16
thoughts
29:16
would
29:16
be
29:16
blessed
29:17
to
29:17
each
29:18
of
29:18
us
29:18
we'll
29:19
conclude
29:20
with
