3
00:00:05,630 –> 00:00:08,730

because you’re worthy of it all, in Jesus’ name,

8
00:00:21,000 –> 00:00:21,540
Amen.

9
00:00:29,320 –> 00:00:33,290
Let’s turn to uh Romans the eighth chapter, and

10
00:00:33,290 –> 00:00:36,520
we’re gonna start at verse one.

11
00:00:36,520 –> 00:00:42,580
There is therefore now no condemnation to them

12
00:00:42,580 –> 00:00:48,880
which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the

13
00:00:48,880 –> 00:00:52,800
flesh, but after the spirit.

14
00:00:54,460 –> 00:00:59,130
For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus

15
00:00:59,130 –> 00:01:04,260
, have made me free from the law of sin and death.

16
00:01:04,260 –> 00:01:08,680
Verse three, for what the law could not do, in

17
00:01:08,680 –> 00:01:13,500
that it was weak through the flesh, God sending

18
00:01:13,500 –> 00:01:18,180
his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and

19
00:01:18,180 –> 00:01:22,260
for sin, condemned sin in the flesh.

20
00:01:24,000 –> 00:01:27,260
Verse four, that the righteousness of the law

21
00:01:27,260 –> 00:01:30,550
might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the

22
00:01:30,550 –> 00:01:32,920
flesh, but after the spirit.

23
00:01:34,160 –> 00:01:38,560
In verse five, for they that are after the flesh

24
00:01:38,560 –> 00:01:42,850
do mine the things of the flesh, but they that

25
00:01:42,850 –> 00:01:47,420
are after the spirit, the things of the spirit.

26
00:01:47,420 –> 00:01:51,450
And verse six says, for to be kindly minded is

27
00:01:51,450 –> 00:01:57,040
death, but to be spiritually minded is life and

28
00:01:57,040 –> 00:01:57,960
peace.

29
00:02:01,200 –> 00:02:05,030
Let’s do verse six again, for to be kindly minded

30
00:02:05,030 –> 00:02:09,060
is death, but to be spiritually minded is life

31
00:02:09,060 –> 00:02:11,400
and peace.

32
00:02:11,400 –> 00:02:15,500
And you know, we were kinda talking about this in

33
00:02:15,500 –> 00:02:20,490
Bible s Bible study also about, you know, our

34
00:02:20,490 –> 00:02:23,160
life and how we live.

35
00:02:24,500 –> 00:02:27,590
And you know, when you look at what these verses

36
00:02:27,590 –> 00:02:31,040
are talking about, they’re talking about having

37
00:02:31,040 –> 00:02:34,600
that new life in Christ. They’re talking about

38
00:02:34,600 –> 00:02:38,260
not living in sin anymore.

39
00:02:38,260 –> 00:02:43,600
We’re dead to sin.

40
00:02:45,280 –> 00:02:50,910
But we’re alive in Christ. And to be alive in

41
00:02:50,910 –> 00:02:55,760
Christ is to walk in newness of life.

42
00:02:55,760 –> 00:03:00,080
To be alive in Christ allows us to live

43
00:03:00,080 –> 00:03:04,240
spiritually and not carnally and not after our

44
00:03:04,240 –> 00:03:09,130
own thoughts or things that we think are good for

45
00:03:09,130 –> 00:03:13,720
us. You know, a lot of times people wanna

46
00:03:13,720 –> 00:03:16,330
do things their own way, and then when they

47
00:03:16,330 –> 00:03:19,370
things fall apart, that’s when they wanna go to

48
00:03:19,370 –> 00:03:22,590
God, and they wanna say, Lord, please help me And

49
00:03:22,590 –> 00:03:25,120
. then they get out of that.

50
00:03:25,120 –> 00:03:29,950
God get ’em out of that situation. And they go

51
00:03:29,950 –> 00:03:34,220
right back to it. Lord, please help me. You know,

52
00:03:34,220 –> 00:03:38,140
and they just keep asking God to please help ’em,

53
00:03:38,140 –> 00:03:41,920
but they don’t wanna give up that life of sin.

54
00:03:41,920 –> 00:03:48,400
They they can’t get rid of that carnality and

55
00:03:48,400 –> 00:03:54,490
live spiritually. And God wants us to live like

56
00:03:54,490 –> 00:03:58,190
Christ lived. If we live like Christ lived, then

57
00:03:58,190 –> 00:04:01,510
other people may want cro may want what we have

58
00:04:01,510 –> 00:04:05,030
in us. And then we wonder well, I’m trying to be

59
00:04:05,030 –> 00:04:08,720
an example, but they don’t they don’t wanna come

60
00:04:08,720 –> 00:04:11,920
to church Well. they see the way you live

61
00:04:11,920 –> 00:04:14,420
days a week. Say, why they gonna wanna come to

62
00:04:14,420 –> 00:04:17,060
church when you’re living worse than them. And

63
00:04:17,060 –> 00:04:21,060
and God wants us to be an example.

64
00:04:21,060 –> 00:04:27,270
If we had to do what Jesus did, how many of us

65
00:04:27,270 –> 00:04:31,420
could do that? If we had to live the way Jesus

66
00:04:31,420 –> 00:04:36,110
lived, how many of us can do that? If we have to

67
00:04:36,110 –> 00:04:40,540
give up that carnality, how many of us could do

68
00:04:40,540 –> 00:04:41,040
that?

69
00:04:42,040 –> 00:04:46,120
We all should be able to do that. Daily live our

70
00:04:46,120 –> 00:04:51,390
lives for Christ because of that great example

71
00:04:51,390 –> 00:04:56,850
that he gave us, because of that great sacrifice

72
00:04:56,850 –> 00:04:58,900
that he made for us.

73
00:05:04,640 –> 00:05:08,400
There is therefore, this is verse one again, now

74
00:05:08,400 –> 00:05:12,090
no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus

75
00:05:12,090 –> 00:05:15,670
, who walked not after the flesh, but after the

76
00:05:15,670 –> 00:05:20,030
spirit. And then you say well, how do you walk in

77
00:05:20,030 –> 00:05:21,260
the spirit?

78
00:05:21,260 –> 00:05:25,460
How do you live for Christ?

79
00:05:25,460 –> 00:05:29,400
Let’s turn to

80
00:05:29,400 –> 00:05:32,520
Galatians.

81
00:05:32,520 –> 00:05:38,110
Okay. And we’re gonna look at uh verse I mean

82
00:05:38,110 –> 00:05:45,170
chapter five. Uh we’re gonna look at verse twenty

83
00:05:45,170 –> 00:05:46,220
two.

84
00:05:50,960 –> 00:05:56,100
But the fruit of the spirit, see this is what we

85
00:05:56,100 –> 00:06:01,350
have to have in us, but the fruit of the spirit

86
00:06:01,350 –> 00:06:02,040
is love,

87
00:06:02,040 –> 00:06:04,420
joy,

88
00:06:04,420 –> 00:06:06,740
peace.

89
00:06:06,740 –> 00:06:14,020
‘Cause you know the the the uh Romans was talking

90
00:06:14,020 –> 00:06:17,560
about that. Romans eight was talking about peace.

91
00:06:17,560 –> 00:06:27,830
Long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith. ‘Kay

92
00:06:27,830 –> 00:06:32,000
, that was verse twenty two. But the fruit of the

93
00:06:32,000 –> 00:06:33,420
spirit is love.

94
00:06:33,420 –> 00:06:40,660
So we have to show love, we have to have love, so

95
00:06:40,660 –> 00:06:43,820
that others may see that love in us.

96
00:06:43,820 –> 00:06:46,580
Joy,

97
00:06:46,580 –> 00:06:50,550
you can’t have joy when you’re living in carn

98
00:06:50,550 –> 00:06:51,520
ality.

99
00:06:51,520 –> 00:06:55,640
When you can’t have joy when you’re living in sin

100
00:06:55,640 –> 00:06:55,680
.

101
00:06:55,680 –> 00:06:59,780
Peace, you definitely can’t have peace when you

102
00:06:59,780 –> 00:07:01,520
‘re living in sin.

103
00:07:01,520 –> 00:07:05,780
If we’re living in Christ, we have peace.

104
00:07:05,780 –> 00:07:11,580
That peace that surpasses all understanding, that

105
00:07:11,580 –> 00:07:13,480
that peace of God

106
00:07:13,480 –> 00:07:19,290
is so different than the peace that we think we

107
00:07:19,290 –> 00:07:19,920
have.

108
00:07:19,920 –> 00:07:27,230
Long suffering Jesus had, he suffered long, he

109
00:07:27,230 –> 00:07:29,580
had long suffering.

110
00:07:29,580 –> 00:07:32,770
Well he wants us to be able to do that too, but

111
00:07:32,770 –> 00:07:36,060
we can’t do that if we don’t have him in us.

112
00:07:36,060 –> 00:07:40,420
Gentleness, you know we gotta be able to be

113
00:07:40,420 –> 00:07:41,260
gentle.

114
00:07:42,400 –> 00:07:43,260
Goodness,

115
00:07:43,260 –> 00:07:46,240
faith.

116
00:07:46,240 –> 00:07:51,900
Faith is the substance of things hoped for,

117
00:07:51,900 –> 00:07:57,720
the evidence of things not seen.

118
00:07:57,720 –> 00:08:01,150
I mean if you see something, you don’t have to

119
00:08:01,150 –> 00:08:04,800
have faith, ’cause it’s right in front of you.

120
00:08:04,800 –> 00:08:07,480
But if you don’t see it,

121
00:08:07,480 –> 00:08:09,880
and you believe it,

122
00:08:11,100 –> 00:08:13,890
you got faith. And that’s what he wants us to

123
00:08:13,890 –> 00:08:15,000
have, faith.

124
00:08:15,000 –> 00:08:17,240
Meekness

125
00:08:17,240 –> 00:08:22,560
I it’s hard for a guy to be meek.

126
00:08:22,560 –> 00:08:28,190
Oh man, I gotta show ’em I’m a man, you know. He

127
00:08:28,190 –> 00:08:32,840
gon but Jesus was meek. Jesus wants us to meet me

128
00:08:32,840 –> 00:08:35,460
ek. Goodness

129
00:08:40,140 –> 00:08:42,960
says meekness temperance.

130
00:08:42,960 –> 00:08:48,290
So you mean I gotta be able to control my temper?

131
00:08:48,290 –> 00:08:53,230
Yes you do. You gotta be able to control that

132
00:08:53,230 –> 00:08:54,160
temper.

133
00:08:54,160 –> 00:08:57,960
Just because they’re getting ready to fly off the

134
00:08:57,960 –> 00:09:01,660
handle at you doesn’t mean that you gotta fly off

135
00:09:01,660 –> 00:09:03,440
the handle at them.

136
00:09:03,440 –> 00:09:08,280
I mean you don’t have to, just just slow down.

137
00:09:09,600 –> 00:09:12,460
Think of Christ. See that’s the problem. We you

138
00:09:12,460 –> 00:09:14,990
know when we get into these situations we forget

139
00:09:14,990 –> 00:09:18,500
to think about Christ. Think about Christ. What

140
00:09:18,500 –> 00:09:21,050
would you know what we always hear that saying,

141
00:09:21,050 –> 00:09:23,990
what would Jesus do? But when when we’re going

142
00:09:23,990 –> 00:09:26,820
through it, we don’t wanna say what would Jesus

143
00:09:26,820 –> 00:09:30,280
do. What am I gonna do? You say no, what would

144
00:09:30,280 –> 00:09:35,800
Jesus do? You know. Jesus would slow down, he

145
00:09:35,800 –> 00:09:39,600
would stop and he would let

146
00:09:39,600 –> 00:09:44,340
emcee him and he wants us to be the same way.

147
00:09:44,340 –> 00:09:49,600
Against such there is no law.

148
00:09:49,600 –> 00:09:53,650
In verse twenty four, this is uh Galatians five

149
00:09:53,650 –> 00:09:59,720
still, and they that are Christ have crucified

150
00:09:59,720 –> 00:10:05,940
the flesh with the affections and lusts.

151
00:10:08,040 –> 00:10:17,960
You prayer, prayer, prayer, the word, the word,

152
00:10:17,960 –> 00:10:19,280
the word.

153
00:10:19,280 –> 00:10:24,290
To eliminate these things we have to we gotta

154
00:10:24,290 –> 00:10:29,390
know God. You can’t know God if you don’t talk to

155
00:10:29,390 –> 00:10:34,060
God. You can’t know God if you’re not reading a

156
00:10:34,060 –> 00:10:34,840
word.

157
00:10:35,920 –> 00:10:38,640
You gotta have him in you before you c can help.

158
00:10:38,640 –> 00:10:42,130
You gotta have Christ in you before you can fight

159
00:10:42,130 –> 00:10:45,030
the enemy. We can’t fight the enemy if we don’t

160
00:10:45,030 –> 00:10:48,670
have him in us. But if we have him in us, we can

161
00:10:48,670 –> 00:10:50,480
fight the enemy.

162
00:10:52,440 –> 00:10:57,750
And they that are Christ have crucified the flesh

163
00:10:57,750 –> 00:11:02,530
with the affections and lusts. And verse twenty

164
00:11:02,530 –> 00:11:08,050
five says, if we live in the Spirit, let us also

165
00:11:08,050 –> 00:11:11,560
walk in the Spirit.

166
00:11:13,720 –> 00:11:17,450
So if we live in Christ, we’re gonna walk in

167
00:11:17,450 –> 00:11:21,580
Christ. If we live in Christ, others will see

168
00:11:21,580 –> 00:11:27,590
Christ in us. If we live in Christ, we’re gonna

169
00:11:27,590 –> 00:11:29,760
be like Christ.

170
00:11:31,120 –> 00:11:34,460
Let us not be desires of vainglory provoking one

171
00:11:34,460 –> 00:11:37,690
another, end being one another. If anything we

172
00:11:37,690 –> 00:11:40,730
should be helping one another and we should be

173
00:11:40,730 –> 00:11:43,930
holding each other up ’cause that’s what Christ

174
00:11:43,930 –> 00:11:48,100
did. Christ held us up. Even when we did not love

175
00:11:48,100 –> 00:11:53,530
him, even when we were against him, Christ died

176
00:11:53,530 –> 00:12:00,560
for us and he wants us to be like Christ.

177
00:12:00,560 –> 00:12:13,180
So. Any questions? Oh wow, good.
