The Joy of the Spirit's Dwelling | Romans 8:10-17

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,440
You ever heard phrases like it's
the summer of X?

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,520
Yeah, like the the summer of the
Olympics or the Summer of

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:08,920
Freedom.
Yeah.

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,000
Well, this week has been the
week of Chloe.

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,120
Oh, that's good.
Your daughter, your your first

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:15,080
born.
Yeah, that's good.

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,240
For whatever reason, Chloe's
just popped up at every corner,

8
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:21,080
even when she's not physically
present.

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,560
It's been pretty.
Amazing.

10
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,120
I'm trying to think of so I'm
just gonna start saying

11
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,640
different things.
One one level she was working

12
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,320
this Wednesday.
We normally would meet for like

13
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:36,120
our college age group for we
call it impact and Emily Hawk

14
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,920
was doing our ice breaker and
her ice breaker was Chloe

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,560
Trivia.
Yeah, so she told us.

16
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,960
She's like, Emily had me fill
out this thing and I had to

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,040
answer all these questions like
basically Chloe Jeopardy.

18
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,720
And she's like, and I'm not
going to be there 'cause I have

19
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,520
to work.
So I don't know if that's a good

20
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,040
thing or a bad thing.
So it's.

21
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,600
Great.
So and you had some lot.

22
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,640
You had some visitors, right?
This was the best part.

23
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,080
We had a newlywed from North
Carolina, newly a couple of

24
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,640
North Carolina, that one to
visit a good Bible believing

25
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,480
church and we we normally look
like ice breaker that would

26
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,280
apply to everybody.
And then so they're sitting here

27
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,040
and they're like, which question
do you want to answer about

28
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:10,960
Chloe?
Because you're a visitor, you'll

29
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,600
go 1st and they're like, and you
know, questions are like, what's

30
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,400
Chloe's favorite color?
But they were good sports about

31
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,280
it because he would just say
red.

32
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:21,280
I think he would just guess and
be totally wrong on so many

33
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,560
things.
But it was super, super

34
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,280
entertaining.
Our whole group learned a lot.

35
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,400
Actually do.
You know what her favorite color

36
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,320
is?
This is a test no?

37
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,760
I totally forgot it's.
Yellow.

38
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,800
Yellow.
That was mentioned.

39
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:37,560
I knew they they asked questions
about sibling, like how many

40
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,160
siblings or oh, one of the
questions are what are Chloe's

41
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,200
parents name or something like
that, You know, so you made a

42
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,760
made an appearance.
Great.

43
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,200
So very Chloe heavy there.
And then my wife August is a

44
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,240
very busy month for my family.
Jackson has a birthday, Jordan

45
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,520
has a birthday.
Our wedding anniversary is all

46
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,680
within like a 10 day span.
So it's very jam packed.

47
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,800
Lane and I went downtown.
We were going to surprise Chloe

48
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,000
if we weren't going for Chloe.
But like in case she was there,

49
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,320
like, oh, we're going to walk by
this place.

50
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,960
She worked, she was not there,
but you know.

51
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:17,440
We were preparing meals and she
has just have AI what is the

52
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,920
Apple Watch?
But she has another watch.

53
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:22,360
At least show her the message.
And she was like, I must be

54
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,440
missing something.
Leanne just texted me and said,

55
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,000
where are you?
Like is did I miss that?

56
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,320
There's an impact meeting or
something?

57
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,520
And she like went over to get
her phone.

58
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,880
She's like, oh, they went to the
shirt off my back so.

59
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,120
That's great.
So all I'm saying is a lot of

60
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,160
Chloe and that we quite a lot of
time to develop this.

61
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,800
But one thing that I appreciate
about Chloe that I'm learning

62
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,840
might be a it might just be a
Mott family thing.

63
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,640
It could be.
Is her love for cereal because

64
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:46,440
that's like what got me through
college.

65
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,600
Like I lived off a.
Cereal.

66
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,320
Yeah, we do love cereal.
In fact, we had fellowship

67
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,280
groups one time around her
birthday, and the meal was

68
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,720
cereal.
I remember like, everyone just

69
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,120
brought different cereals.
But yeah, I I mean cereal.

70
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,640
I grew up thinking cereals
healthy.

71
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:03,640
Because it has 15 that's.
What you're told or whatever,

72
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:06,760
it's fat free, it's healthy, has
all this fiber.

73
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,240
And and so you live all those
lies and you end up, you know,

74
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,080
some of us end up larger than
what we wanted to be.

75
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:17,760
But yeah, I love, I love cereal.
I'll this might be divisive so

76
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,560
we don't get into it too much,
but if I'm listing out like my

77
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,920
top cereals, 2 cereals that
don't make the list, I.

78
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:25,600
Know what you're going to say?
I'm going to say.

79
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,880
Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Yes, yeah.

80
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,160
OK.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

81
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,840
Get it out of here.
And fruit loops.

82
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:34,480
I like fruit loops.
I don't like Lucky Charms that I

83
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,120
think.
That's what I ate today.

84
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,720
I know.
I was a little bit upset.

85
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,520
Lucky Charms are like, they're
fine.

86
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,440
I'm not saying they're bad, but
it's like they're fine.

87
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,000
Cinnamon Toast Crunch don't love
it, so I.

88
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,760
Love Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but
it's like the older you get like

89
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,240
the sugar, like it kind of gets
me a little bit.

90
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,960
I I can feel like me getting
warmer, like I kind of get like

91
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,440
a little heat rush if I get too
much sugar and it's like there,

92
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:57,920
it's probably not good.
I mean it.

93
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,720
Can't be good for you, but I
know that's controversial.

94
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,240
I think.
I feel like everyone loves Lucky

95
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,680
Charms, everyone loves Cinnamon
Toast Crunch.

96
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,640
But.
Pops are really good.

97
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,560
You like pops?
Gotta have the gotta have the

98
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,320
pops, Gotta have the pops.
Yeah, love pops.

99
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,160
Probably one of my Captain
Crunch holds a special place in

100
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,400
my heart that's like one of my
go TOS.

101
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,839
I love Captain Crunch, but you
have to be careful.

102
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,959
It will tear your gums up.
It's like it will.

103
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,839
Yeah, there's pros and cons of
every cereal.

104
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,760
Like I I like like Fruity
Pebbles, but you gotta eat those

105
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,560
things in like 20 seconds or
they're not good.

106
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,800
Yeah, and the Special K
Strawberry.

107
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,400
That is good.
That's really good.

108
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,080
And you actually, you feel like
you're doing good, but you're

109
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,320
like, I could be eating Lucky
Charge, but I mean, Special K

110
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,680
with strawberries.
This is healthy.

111
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,160
And okay, we probably should get
on but one more cereal.

112
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,800
Grape Nuts.
What do you think my my mom?

113
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,320
Loved them.
It's not it's not my favorite,

114
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,040
but I actually.
Like them?

115
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,680
Yeah, I can eat them.
It's it's a jaw workout.

116
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,360
Yeah, but.
Cereal.

117
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,560
I need to eat, man.
Cereal.

118
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,760
I'm gonna get hungry, man.
So, but before, before we go too

119
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,320
far off the deep end, we're
gonna talk about something else

120
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,560
that is joyful.
Yeah, Cereal's joyful.

121
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,600
That's right.
Should be, you know, having the

122
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,800
spirit.
Should be joyful.

123
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,200
That's great.
That is the title of Pastor

124
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,520
Jill's sermon looking at Romans
810 through 15, the 21st sermon

125
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,480
in Romans.
So let's go ahead and take it to

126
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:23,840
the next level from the hearts
of the low country in South

127
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:28,000
Carolina.
It's the Take Two podcast where

128
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,240
we take theology to the next
level.

129
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,000
You a fan of the Amish, Michael?
It's hard to, I don't know.

130
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000
I mean, I like a Weird Al
Yankovic Amish paradise.

131
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:42,840
That's amazing.
Yeah.

132
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,120
What a what a what a great, what
a great song.

133
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,480
I have not spent a lot of time.
I know we have a lot of people

134
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,440
in our church that it's like
they go to Pennsylvania or

135
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,080
wherever and they're always
going to head up the Amish.

136
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,640
I don't, I don't have a lot of
those like connections, familial

137
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,480
like I've been to an.
Amish place bake well.

138
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:03,440
They do furniture well.
They raise barns well.

139
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,680
And yeah, probably not as great
as, you know, film production.

140
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,400
And no.
No, I'm not as good at film

141
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,640
production.
And they have, oh, what was I

142
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,520
going to say?
I don't know.

143
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,840
I'm sure they've got a lot,
yeah, a lot, a lot of great

144
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:21,480
things.
Great job Amish, but we started

145
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,080
out there because they do a good
job of separating themselves

146
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:26,920
from the world.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

147
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,360
And what I was going to say,
they have their own little

148
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,440
dialect.
Their their language is like

149
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,360
highly influenced by Dutch and
German and it's and because

150
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,960
they're kind of like you said,
separated, it doesn't hasn't

151
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,640
really blended in.
Yeah, that's one of the shames,

152
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,600
I think with maybe not a shame,
maybe it's a good thing, but you

153
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,880
really don't get these
differences in culture within

154
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,840
the US as much.
We were talking earlier about

155
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:52,080
Coke and soda and pop.
I think some of that's still

156
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,200
there, but it's I feel like it's
not as much there.

157
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,520
When I was a kid, it was a fiery
thing.

158
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,800
Oh yeah.
I mean, I would show up in place

159
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,680
and be like, do y'all have coke?
Yeah, what kind?

160
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:03,760
I mean that.
Was that was just.

161
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,920
How you said it and no one
blinked an eye at it and it's so

162
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,000
funny today the.
World's gotten soft, Michael.

163
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,400
It's gotten soft.
Anyway, back to Romans 810

164
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,760
through 15.
The Amish, they keep themselves

165
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,440
unstained from the world coming
out of this passage.

166
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,360
And James, they, I know there's
different levels and you know,

167
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,040
Amish is different from
Mennonite and all this stuff.

168
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,640
But but technology, they do
pretty good at separating

169
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,560
themselves from from that part
of the world.

170
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,360
And, and oddly enough, it
appeared by appearance, you

171
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,600
don't want to judge a book by
its cover that we had visitors

172
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,280
today who were either Amish or
Mennonite, you know, just by

173
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,960
dress, you know, and mannerisms.
But it you know it.

174
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,080
How often does Joel talk about
Amish?

175
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,720
Once every 10 years.
And we happen to have some folks

176
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,760
who would fit that.
But his point was that in the

177
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,440
same way that they try to keep
themselves unstained and they

178
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,400
kind of see that some they would
say sin as well, but through,

179
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,640
you know, technology, you know,
they're not going to own

180
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,400
technology.
They they can benefit from

181
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,240
technology.
So they have some fine rules

182
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,640
there.
But we should also be keeping

183
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,280
ourselves unstained from the
world.

184
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,160
And we see this April, Romans 8,
three through 4 says for what

185
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,360
the law could not do, weak as it
was to the flesh, God did,

186
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,520
sending his own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh and as

187
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,840
an offering for sin.
He condemned sin in the flesh so

188
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,440
that the requirement of the law
might be fulfilled who do not

189
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,200
walk according to the flesh, but
according to the Spirit.

190
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,159
So, you know, beginning of this
chapter, kind of this contrast

191
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:36,200
that we've been talking about
between the Spirit and between

192
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,760
the flesh and really we are
supposed to be separated from

193
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,080
the things of the flesh.
And we've made a point that

194
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,160
walking in the spirit that
that's so closely connected with

195
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,240
your salvation.
It it's how you live your life

196
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,040
when when you are in Christ,
you're gonna walk in the spirit.

197
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,560
These things are connected in a
very close way.

198
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:00,320
And and so this passage that we
look like today, which I also

199
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,760
think it's Romans 10 through
seventeens of covering all of 17

200
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:05,920
talks about these different
outcomes.

201
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,480
And his title is the joy of the
spirits indwelling 9 times out

202
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,800
of 10, maybe 99 times out of
100, maybe not that strong.

203
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,840
His title's coming straight out
of Scripture.

204
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,680
And this this phrase doesn't
come from that, but it's it's

205
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:21,680
kind of the outcome of all these
things produce this joy.

206
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:25,040
And I think it'll be very
apparent as we go through these

207
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,920
different outcomes.
The first of which we find in

208
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,960
chapter 8, verse 10 speaks of
regeneration that we've been

209
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,440
given this new heart.
Paul writes that if Christ is in

210
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,200
you, though the body is dead
because of sin.

211
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,200
Yes, the Spirit is alive because
of righteousness.

212
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,240
Yeah, and we talked last week,
we referenced the same passage

213
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,480
from Ezekiel.
It's a little bit shorter this

214
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:56,040
year, this this year, this week.
But you know, in Christ we have

215
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,400
part been partaking in the new
covenant and there are a couple

216
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,320
passages.
Ezekiel 36 is one Jeremiah 31

217
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:06,880
that kind of look forward to and
kind of give us some contrast

218
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,160
and some characteristics of the
new covenant.

219
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,120
It says for I will take you from
the nations, gather you from all

220
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,000
the lands and bring you into
your own land, that I will

221
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,520
sprinkle clean water on you and
you will be clean.

222
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,920
I will cleanse you from all your
filthiness and from all your

223
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,920
idols.
Moreover, I will give you a new

224
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,320
heart and put a new spirit
within you, and I will remove

225
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,000
the heart of stone from your
flesh and give you a heart of

226
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,600
flesh.
I will put my spirit within you

227
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,600
and cause you to walk in my
statues and you will be careful

228
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,680
to observe my ordinances.
So really this, you know,

229
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:44,120
precursor, this prequel, this,
you know, prefiguring of what

230
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,960
Paul is talking about.
I love that so good.

231
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,880
In 2nd Corinthians 3, Paul
writes and as I read this listen

232
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,520
for maybe a word that pops up a
few times.

233
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,720
It's very apparent what the
emphasis here.

234
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,400
Paul writes in verse seven of
Second Corinthians 3.

235
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,600
But if the ministry of death and
the letters engraved on stones

236
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,520
came with glory, so that the
sons of Israel couldn't look

237
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,520
intently at the face of Moses
because of the glory of his face

238
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,280
fading as it was, how will the
ministry of the Spirit fail to

239
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,080
be even more with glory?
For if the ministry of

240
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,720
condemnation has glory, much
more does the ministry of

241
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,240
righteousness abound in glory.
For indeed, what had glory in

242
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,520
this case has no glory because
of the glory that surpasses it.

243
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,120
For that which fades away was
with glory.

244
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,240
Much more that remains is in
glory.

245
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,560
We see this contrast again that
you know the law of Moses did

246
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:40,640
that glory, but man is it
surpassed by by this new new

247
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:41,920
covenant.
Yep, Yep.

248
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:49,120
And then so if we're in Christ,
we have regeneration, 810 and we

249
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:54,160
look forward to a resurrection.
811 But if the Spirit of him who

250
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,600
raised Jesus from the dead
dwells in you, he who raised

251
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,040
Christ Jesus from the dead will
also give life to your mortal

252
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,920
bodies through his Spirit who
dwells in you.

253
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,160
I.
I like that emphasis because you

254
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,320
could read this and think Paul
is talking about some sort of

255
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,640
Gnosticism and the spirits here,
the flesh is here, but no, no,

256
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,800
no, don't make that mistake
because our bodies matter and

257
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,640
they're going to be resurrected
because of our life in the

258
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,840
spirit.
Yeah.

259
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,960
And there's this long passage
that he quotes here, and I'm

260
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,760
really going to just read, I
think, well, maybe we can kind

261
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,080
of just summarize it, but read
all of First Corinthians 15,

262
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,680
perhaps the longest chapter in
the Bible.

263
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,960
You pause, go read it right now,
then come back.

264
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:47,280
OK, you're back with this.
But he's really dealing with

265
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,520
this idea that, you know, the
body doesn't really get

266
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,920
resurrected.
And he talks about, you know,

267
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,600
the difference between the seed
and the plant.

268
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,080
You know, the seed gets planted
and, you know, the what comes

269
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,720
out of the ground is much more
valuable in the same way, kind

270
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,320
of this mortal body is going to
get planted and then what's

271
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,240
going to come out is much more
valuable.

272
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,160
And he talks about the glory
again.

273
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,040
And so I'll just pick up there
kind of halfway through.

274
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,160
It says there are also heavenly
bodies and earthly bodies, but

275
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,440
the glory of the heavenly 1 is
one, and the glory of the

276
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,240
earthly is another.
There is one glory of the sun,

277
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,680
another glory of the moon,
another glory of the stars, for

278
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:25,760
the stars differ from the star
in glory.

279
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,880
So also is the resurrection of
the dead.

280
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,760
It is sown an imperishable body.
Is raised an is sown a

281
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,880
perishable body.
Sorry, is raised an imperishable

282
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,640
body.
It is sown in dishonor, is

283
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,960
raised in glory.
It is sown in weakness.

284
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,160
It is raised in power.
It is sown in natural body is

285
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,840
raised the spiritual body.
If there is a natural body,

286
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,800
there's also a spiritual body.
So, I mean, you're not, there's

287
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,520
not going to be any physical
therapists in heaven, is what

288
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,520
I've read from that.
We might be able to maybe

289
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,280
optimize, maybe not.
Maybe we're not rehabilitating,

290
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,560
maybe we're, you know, doing
movement patterns for different

291
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:02,280
sports and these kind of things.
I love it though.

292
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,840
It's so good.
And if I've learned anything

293
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,440
from Paul over these last
several weeks, it's he just

294
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,680
loves comparison and contrast to
really illustrate a point and

295
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,880
does it really well, where you
could just line these up and see

296
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,800
just how much greater things
will be.

297
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,760
John Piper has this
illustration.

298
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,880
He grew up in in Greenville, SC,
many, many years ago.

299
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,440
And when he was in college, his
father's mother died.

300
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,840
And so his grandfather was alone
in Pennsylvania.

301
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,280
His youngest son, Piper's father
brought him to South Carolina to

302
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,320
live with John Piper and the
family.

303
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,600
They were glad to have family
close to them.

304
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,320
But over time, he got ill.
His condition were worsened.

305
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,920
And, you know, they weren't able
to to care for them.

306
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,080
His dad traveled as an
evangelist.

307
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,960
And so they made this this
decision to move him to a

308
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,960
nursing home.
And you'll hear this a lot.

309
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,640
You know, once you make some of
these moves to a nursing home or

310
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,800
even from living independently
to assisted living, sometimes

311
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,600
you know, your strengths going
to going to go because you're

312
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,040
not you're just not doing as
much for your own.

313
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,360
And so he declined physically
and functionally.

314
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,120
And you know, there's eventually
a visit where Piper and his

315
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,560
family were kind of under the
realization this is probably the

316
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,280
last time you're going to see
your your grandfather.

317
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,320
Wow.
While he's alive, while he is

318
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,120
alive.
And so he laid there and he

319
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,000
paints this picture of of
dishonor really, for using pulse

320
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,680
terminology that that he laid
there in a diaper, curled up in

321
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,960
a fetal position.
His eyes were glazed over,

322
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,720
crusty.
His breathing was labored.

323
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,000
My father, Piper writes, spoke
with me about his dad for a few

324
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,720
minutes and then said we should
pray very loudly by putting our

325
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,720
mouths next to his seemingly
deaf ears.

326
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,880
Ignoring the others in the home,
we almost shouted our prayer

327
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,280
when my father stopped.
His father heaved with all his

328
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,120
fading might and said Amen.
That was the last sound I ever

329
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,600
heard him make.
If I'd ever seen a body sewn in

330
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,880
dishonor, this was it.
And there are millions like him,

331
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,480
Piper making the point that we
probably all can resonate with

332
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,240
seeing a family member or
someone in just this terrible

333
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,560
condition where their body has
failed them over time, where you

334
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,520
know, it's not what what they
used to be.

335
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,120
And that that's the picture we
have these dishonorable bodies

336
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,920
that one day are going to be
glorified in a miraculous way.

337
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,440
Yep, Yep.
It's such a great contrast.

338
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,240
And I remember being young
people like, oh, you young

339
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,680
people, you don't appreciate a
new body.

340
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,200
And we probably don't appreciate
it as much as Joel does.

341
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,600
But I mean, hopefully.
I mean, you probably see, oh, I

342
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,480
can see how this is, you know,
the path that I'm heading on,

343
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,600
you know?
Yeah, getting getting older

344
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,400
every day.
So it's it's something we we

345
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,560
should think about a lot.
And I love that all these

346
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,960
outcomes, they're tied to the
spirits and dwelling things to

347
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,960
look forward to.
We can rejoice and now

348
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,960
regeneration, resurrection
outcome #3 is obligation.

349
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,760
I'll read Romans 812 through 14.
So then, brethren, we are under

350
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,960
obligation not to the flesh, to
live according to the flesh.

351
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,320
For if you were living according
to the flesh, you must die.

352
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:04,160
But if by the Spirit you are
putting to death the deeds of

353
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,960
the body, you will live.
For all who are being led by the

354
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,720
Spirit of God.
These are sons of God.

355
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,079
Yeah, that's, that's really
good.

356
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:17,079
And it's not just like you get
in and you're like, oh, you

357
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:20,400
have, you have an obligation.
You have an obligation to live

358
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,359
in a way that's that's pleasing
to God.

359
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:28,960
Last Romans podcast we read
Ephesians 4, like, I don't know,

360
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,960
15 through 19 talked about the
deeds of the flesh and, and the

361
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,360
mind of the flesh there.
And so we're going to pick up

362
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:41,280
with Ephesians 420 it says, but
you did not learn Christ in this

363
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,760
way, which was the, you know,
the darkened hearts and stuff

364
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,400
that we read two podcasts ago.
If indeed you have heard him and

365
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,320
have been taught in him.
Just as truth is in Jesus, that

366
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,960
in reference to your former
manner of life, you lay aside

367
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,680
your old self which is being
corrupted in accordance with the

368
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,800
lust of deceit.
And that you be renewed in the

369
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,360
spirit of your mind and put on a
new self, which is the likeness

370
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:09,240
of God has been created in
righteousness and holiness of

371
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,160
truth.
And really like the key pointer

372
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,720
is like this three-step method
that we see outlined here.

373
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:18,680
Joel mentioned, you know, this
is so crucial to the biblical

374
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:24,160
counseling idea of way of doing
things is that we look at sin or

375
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,840
bad behaviors in our life and we
need to put off or lay aside is

376
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,960
what Paul says here.
In other places, he'll say put

377
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,600
off.
And then we need to really

378
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,760
rethink the thought process that
led to that.

379
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,440
Like what?
What lies were we believing that

380
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,360
we deserve certain things or
that we are entitled to certain

381
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:43,640
things or that certain things
would bring us joy?

382
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,520
We got to rethink that.
We'll see that in Romans 12

383
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,160
that, you know, we need to, you
know, renew our mind and be

384
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,080
transformed by the renewing of
that and then put on good deeds.

385
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,760
And I, I, I just see all, you
know, there's like a concert of

386
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:02,320
verses that really talk about
this.

387
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,400
Even something practical like
James, he would say, how can

388
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,280
cursings come out of your mouth
the same mouth as blessings.

389
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,120
It's like a salt water fountain
can't bring forth fresh water at

390
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:15,680
the same time.
It's like put off the salt

391
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,480
water, put on the freshwater,
and if you have a stream of

392
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,200
freshwater that's going through
that fountain, saltwater can't

393
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,800
get out, you know?
That's a fact.

394
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,120
Yeah, that's a fact.
And so if we have a stream of

395
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:30,440
these spiritual deeds and
spiritual way of thinking, it's

396
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,240
going to keep at Bay the fleshly
deeds and the fleshly thinking.

397
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,960
Yeah, that that, that really
makes it practical because there

398
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,000
is an obligation that we have a
debt is how the ESB said we're,

399
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,880
we're debtors that it does take
take a little bit of work.

400
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,000
It's just not magically,
magically going to happen.

401
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,760
And and if you look at where you
fail, it's probably because one

402
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,520
of these three things are not
being met or maybe you're only

403
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,520
doing one of these, but you're
not doing the other side of it.

404
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,640
And it's like you really set
your don't set yourself up for

405
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,200
success when you're not doing
all of these.

406
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,280
Things that's good.
And Joel, we talked about cereal

407
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,960
at the beginning of this
podcast.

408
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,960
Joel mentions a run in with the
Terminix guy and he offers them

409
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,280
some candy.
If you've been around Joel, he's

410
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,280
handing out candy to the kids.
Sometimes too much candy.

411
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,760
I don't I wouldn't say that to
him.

412
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,800
But, you know, sometimes, you
know, Wednesday night, like

413
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,560
three or four stuff, you know,
and but he offers some candy and

414
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,320
Terminix guy, Terminix guy's
like, I'm going to pass.

415
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,360
And, and Joel's like the
conversation turned around to

416
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:31,960
the differing physiques.
And this guy was like really

417
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,920
trying to keep his physique.
What I could tell, Yeah.

418
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,600
Shout out to Chris Terminix.
Guy.

419
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:36,800
Yeah.
Chris Terminix Guy.

420
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,600
And so Joel's point in all this
is if Joel wants a better

421
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,000
physique, he's going to have to
put off the candy and maybe

422
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,720
rethink what he thinks about
that candy and put on something

423
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,600
different.
Maybe some carrots, maybe some

424
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,960
celery, maybe some, you know,
whatever you know.

425
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:52,880
What?
Still in the blink?

426
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,120
Yeah, I like that.
Yeah.

427
00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:57,800
Yeah, great, great.
And and it just it makes sense

428
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,920
intuitively and practically that
you're not going to make make a

429
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,240
lot of a lot of progress.
But I like that Paul lays this

430
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,480
out not just here, but in other,
other places.

431
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,160
So those, those are the 1st 3
outcomes we got more.

432
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,880
Yeah, we got Yeah.
So we had what?

433
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,960
What was it?
Redemption Regeneration.

434
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,680
Regeneration.
Regeneration, resurrection,

435
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,880
obligation and now adoption as
sons.

436
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,400
And if you're, I guess if you're
a girl, adoption has daughters.

437
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,480
So there you go.
There you go.

438
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,200
But 815 says, for you have not
received a spirit of slavery

439
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,120
leading to fear again, but you
have received a spirit of

440
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:38,200
adoption as sons by which we cry
out.

441
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,640
ABBA Father, now you've adopted
two kids.

442
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:44,840
Yeah, Yeah.
So does this.

443
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,880
Does this passage, do you feel
like it means more to you and

444
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,040
your family because of that?
I, I, I think so, I think

445
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,360
thinking through and maybe what
we should do, we should do and

446
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:58,200
maybe, yeah, do a podcast on
adoption because there's so many

447
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,080
good greater to the lesser or
lesser to the greater analogies

448
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,600
that think through that, man.
It's it to me.

449
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,000
It helps focus my mind so much
more on there.

450
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,240
And we've got a quote later on
by Ji Packer.

451
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:16,160
I would say Ji Packer talks
about adoption in a great way, a

452
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,720
way a lot of a lot of people
miss.

453
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,840
I was going to pull up this this
quote by him because maybe if I

454
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,120
can get it, but he he speaks of
it extensively in some of his

455
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:27,880
books.
He actually would say adoption

456
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,560
is the highest privilege that
the gospel offers that that's a

457
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,760
really strong state.
He says higher even than

458
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,640
justification because it's one
thing to not be condemned.

459
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,920
It's another thing to be an heir
of all that you get.

460
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,560
That's like a whole different
level.

461
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,320
You're welcome into the family.
And so we spend a lot of time on

462
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,040
justification, rightfully so.
I think adoption can be

463
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,280
overlooked just because it's not
one of these, you know, big

464
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,680
names in the order of salvation.
But anyway that answer your

465
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:54,640
question, yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

466
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,360
And because we've been adopted,
we get to cry out to God.

467
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:02,640
And then and you know, we, we've
been talking about theology

468
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,560
proper and all the transcendent
nature of God and how he's

469
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,960
other.
But there's a real sense we we

470
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,560
can call him daddy.
We can call him ABBA.

471
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,520
I have a note here.
We recently started watching

472
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,000
Little House on the Prairie.
Yeah, it's great.

473
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,680
Our family's been watching
Leanne.

474
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,800
More so like when I'm at work,
like with the kids at home.

475
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,200
But.
Yeah, that's great.

476
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,000
My Phoebe was asking why do they
keep calling him Pennsylvania?

477
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,240
And I'm like, well that's an
affectionate way to talk to your

478
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,920
dad, dad.
And she started calling me Paw.

479
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:35,720
I was like, and I think God
likes that when we has that same

480
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,000
he, I don't think his emotions
rise and fall when we call him

481
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,480
daddy, but from eternity, he has
this emotional response of man

482
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,680
when we really have this
affection to him.

483
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,120
And it's like when we have
sinned or when we have, you

484
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:53,920
know, turned away or, you know,
we're maybe not putting him

485
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,800
first in our life, which is a
sin, you know, a different type

486
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,760
of sin.
But we can just come back to him

487
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,960
and we, we like, want to crawl
in his arms.

488
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,720
And like, you know, I'm sorry,
Daddy, you know, forgive me.

489
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,520
Help me to love you.
Help me to, you know, we should

490
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,480
have that close relationship.
Yeah, it's really sad thinking

491
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,240
about how my kids are growing
up.

492
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,640
I feel like I've got all the
time in the world where, you

493
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,040
know, dad kind of sit in your
lap, that kind of thing.

494
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,400
Like Jackson's still there and
Jayden a little bit, but

495
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,720
Jayden's like more on the like,
like, you know, it's not weird

496
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,560
to do it, but I know I'm not, I
don't have much time with him.

497
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,920
Like, and Jackson's like the
same size as Jayden, so it's

498
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,040
like a little bit harder to
carry on.

499
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,760
But I'm like, Oh, this is so
sweet when you know, but I know

500
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,480
you, you got, you probably got
your girls out of that phase and

501
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,560
then you have another girl.
So you you just keep it going.

502
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:38,560
It's nice.
It's nice.

503
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,640
It's yeah, there are there are
benefits to having a a surprise

504
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,480
child that late in your life.
Not a surprised us planned from

505
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,400
the foundations of the earth.
What was the quote you slash

506
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,840
Jill?
I gathered from worship?

507
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,280
There was some quote about
sanctification or something with

508
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,920
child.
I can't remember what you said

509
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:57,400
but it was.
Good.

510
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,840
We were, we were at a we were at
a Home group and we were talking

511
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,880
about how God uses marriage and
children to sanctify you.

512
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,480
And I said, you know, you could
look at marriages. 1 lifelong

513
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,520
trial or tribulation.
She didn't like that.

514
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,000
I was like, you know, not like a
bad like this is.

515
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,000
Drudgery.
It's a It's a good.

516
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,000
Trial.
Yeah, it's, it's how you know

517
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,160
God uses me, hopefully to help
sanctify Jill.

518
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,080
And I know God uses Jill to help
sanctify me, so yeah.

519
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,520
Yeah, I, I, I like it.
And and children do the same

520
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,080
thing, so.
Speaking kind of getting back on

521
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:40,600
on adoption pastor shared shared
the story of this girl who had

522
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,520
been adopted from just terrible,
terrible conditions and you

523
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,480
could just even see it in her
behavior.

524
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,080
One of the ways you saw this was
when she was asked to clean a

525
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,480
room or something like that and
she was fixated on this like

526
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,880
when to clean it to her best
because when she talked to to

527
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,880
her her parents, she was
basically saying my room's

528
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,440
clean.
Can I stay?

529
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,720
Do you still love me?
Just feeling like what she did

530
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,360
really would.
What had so much dependence, how

531
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:09,080
well her room was cleaned, was
so connected with how much she

532
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,840
was loved based on her past
experience.

533
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,880
Right.
And and the parents I think rush

534
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,960
in to let her know like we love
you unconditionally, you're part

535
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,080
of the family.
So you're staying here and being

536
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,880
part of the family is not
conditioned on you cleaning.

537
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,520
You clean because you're part of
the family.

538
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,240
Yeah, yeah, that that's a great,
great way to think about it.

539
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,360
As we're as we think about
adoption, just man, how much we

540
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:34,760
get even we won't get there yet,
but the next outcome is so

541
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:40,280
connected, connected to it.
Ji Packer again, Jesus talks so

542
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,120
well about adoption.
He says if you want to judge how

543
00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:44,920
well a person understands
Christianity, which is a big,

544
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,920
that's a big, you know, question
right there, how well does one

545
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,480
understand it?
We'll find out how much he makes

546
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,600
of the thought of being God's
child and having God as his

547
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,720
father.
If this is not the thought that

548
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,920
prompts and controls his worship
and prayers and his whole

549
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,120
outlook on life, it means he
doesn't understand Christianity

550
00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:02,760
very well at all.
For everything that Christ

551
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,640
taught, everything that makes
the New Testament new and better

552
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,760
than the Old Testament,
everything that is distinctly

553
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,240
Christian as opposed to merely
Jewish, is summed up in the

554
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:16,800
knowledge of the fatherhood of
Godfather is the Christian name

555
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,800
for God.
So I I love that paragraph so

556
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,960
much too.
And I think, man, think about

557
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,360
that 'cause that that does tell
a lot about how how we respond,

558
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:26,920
how we act, how we think of
ourselves.

559
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,840
Yeah, that's, that's good.
Should be comforting.

560
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,760
All right, so we've had
regeneration #1 resurrection,

561
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,640
obligation, adoption.
And I think we're closing out,

562
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:41,640
yeah #5 closing out errors.
So part of the results kind of

563
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,880
the joys that we have of being
in the Spirit is that we become

564
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:50,640
inheritors. 816 through 17 says
the Spirit himself testifies

565
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,280
with our Spirit that we are
children of God.

566
00:27:53,640 --> 00:28:00,000
And if children heirs also heirs
of God and fellow heirs with

567
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:05,240
Christ, if indeed we suffer with
him so that we may also be

568
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,080
glorified with him.
And so kind of the big point of

569
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:13,120
this is if you're a child of
God, then you are an heir of

570
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:17,320
God, joint heirs of Christ.
I can't really fathom that.

571
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,080
Like that's one of those things
that I read it in Scripture.

572
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,800
I understand what it says.
I think, well, we're not really

573
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,640
going to be heirs with Christ
because Christ is the God man.

574
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,720
Like that's God the Son.
That's, you know, deity

575
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,560
Incarnate.
All the fullness in deity dwells

576
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,640
with him in some way.
We are joint heirs with him.

577
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,480
No, obviously we're not going to
be on his level, but we're

578
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,360
inheriting creation.
Something.

579
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,200
Yeah, that's.
Big and and I like you

580
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,920
underlined this this little
conditional phrase if indeed we

581
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,680
suffer with him so that you read
that you kind of give give a

582
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,400
little little positive value in
your life.

583
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,680
I haven't done a lot of
suffering.

584
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,320
What what's wrapped up in that?
And, and probably on one level,

585
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,880
you know, taking up your cross
and following and you're denying

586
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:06,320
yourself and, and one, one sense
suffering, lest you think maybe

587
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,480
you need to, you know, move to
some other part of the world

588
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,840
and, you know, be martyred for
your faith or something.

589
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,960
But that's, yeah, we can't
forget that 'cause we want to

590
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,040
take the air, but we don't want
to take the suffering.

591
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,600
Right.
Yeah.

592
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,160
And it's foreshadowing because
next week.

593
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,120
Yeah.
Well, the I say next week, the

594
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,160
next sermon on this will be
covering, you know, suffering

595
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,960
and creation, groaning, spirit
groaning, us, you know, groaning

596
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,800
and then how God works through
all of that.

597
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,280
Yeah, Speaking of joy of
indwelling the spirit, Yeah, it

598
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,120
helps us.
It helps us to suffer.

599
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,680
Yeah.
We'll continue that next week.

600
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,480
That's that's great.
Some some things that we do

601
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,120
inherit, we can we can see
expressed by John, Revelation

602
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,400
21, where John writes.
Then I saw a new heaven and a

603
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,680
new earth for the 1st heaven and
the first earth passed away and

604
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,240
there's no longer any sea.
And I saw the holy city, New

605
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,040
Jerusalem, coming down out of
heaven from God, made ready as a

606
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,440
bride, adorned for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from

607
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:05,400
the throne saying, Behold, the
Tabernacle of God is among men.

608
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,440
He will dwell among them, and
they shall be his people, and

609
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,800
God himself will be among them,
and he will wipe away every tear

610
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,560
from their eyes, and there will
no longer be any death.

611
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,760
There will no longer be any
mourning or crying or pain.

612
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,080
The first things have passed
away huge.

613
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,440
It's good.
Thing you you read that because

614
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,560
I always tear up a little bit
when I read that so it's it's

615
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,080
good you took that that's.
Good, straight.

616
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,960
No more.
No more tears.

617
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:35,640
No more crying in the in the new
heaven's new new earth.

618
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,400
Yeah, that's a lot to a lot to
think about.

619
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,960
Yeah, and we're going to end
with this illustration from Sky.

620
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,160
Justani never heard that name
before, apparently was in

621
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,440
missions.
His dad was in missions over in

622
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,280
India.
And I've never been to India,

623
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,080
seen pictures, I've heard
stories.

624
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,240
There are parts that are, I
think there's just like tons and

625
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,720
tons of people and there's a lot
of beggars.

626
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,280
And this little kid came up to,
I think his father, if I'm

627
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,880
remembering the story right, and
was like begging for ₹1.00.

628
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,520
And the father said, what if I
give you ₹5?

629
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,320
And the kid thinking he was just
being mocked kind of goes away.

630
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,920
And like then like, he hears a
Jingle of this guy getting coins

631
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,920
out and gives him ₹5.
And that's like nothing to us.

632
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,000
But he made the analogy like
it's one cent today.

633
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,160
Maybe you win this story, Maybe.
Maybe it was $0.05.

634
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,520
I don't know inflation, but
still not.

635
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,000
Not a lot of money.
Yeah, not a lot of money.

636
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,600
So and just the disbelief that
this little kid, this beggar

637
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,320
child had that he would be given
this five rubies rupees.

638
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,800
And, you know, he was just
saying thank you, thank you,

639
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,240
thank you, bless you.
And again, lesser to the

640
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,120
greater, we come to Jesus as
beggars.

641
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,480
We come to Jesus as people who
deserve an eternity in hell.

642
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,760
And he's given us far more than
₹5, you know, given us all of

643
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,080
these things that we just went
over.

644
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,720
And so that should be our
outlook.

645
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,480
We should have this joy.
We should have this thankfulness

646
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,200
in our heart.
Yeah, if you, if you're not

647
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,120
feeling that you're missing,
missing the point.

648
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,320
As we move towards application,
do you feel great joy

649
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,120
considering all you have in the
Holy Spirit?

650
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,400
And I think it's easy.
If you're reading, you know,

651
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,960
Bible in the air, you're covered
like Romans 8-9 and ten, all the

652
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,080
you're just like, you're just
moving and it's good to slow

653
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,440
down and, and just, you know,
bullet these out.

654
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,520
I get this, I'm getting this,
this, I get so much through my

655
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,080
union with Christ.
It's really, really amazing, a

656
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,440
really amazing thought amazing
thing that we should spend more

657
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,200
time thinking about because it
can seem so, you know, mundane

658
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,480
or we read this all the time.
Underneath this point, Pastor

659
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,280
Jill has take time to read
through 1st Corinthians 15 Read

660
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:41,480
about.
They don't need to do that.

661
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,480
They already did that.
They paused earlier.

662
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,960
You have already done this
right, checking out the list.

663
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,880
But if you didn't pause when
this is finished because we're

664
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,600
close to being done, go ahead
and read 1st Corinthians 15.

665
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,400
That's great.
Yeah, we already knocked it out.

666
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,240
Take time to reflect on the
future inheritance that awaits

667
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,840
you and rejoice in your adoption
as a son or daughter of God.

668
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,840
Let those words, ABBA father,
roll off your lips, fill your

669
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,320
heart with gladness.
Yeah, good, good things to to

670
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,160
think about, to be filled with
joy.

671
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,200
And then application two, this
idea of are you daily putting to

672
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,080
death or mortifying the deeds of
the flesh or the body?

673
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,520
Reread through Ephesians 420
through 24.

674
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,520
Think about that paradigm,
putting off, laying aside, kind

675
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,960
of rethinking how you thought
about it.

676
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,320
And then what do I put on in in
place of that?

677
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,440
You know, even as I'm saying
that I think of when Paul's

678
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,520
like, if you're stealing, stop
stealing, love other people, go

679
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,360
to work and then start giving to
charity.

680
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:44,400
It's like that whole process of
putting off, putting on and then

681
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,360
rethinking in between.
And is the Spirit of God even

682
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,000
now addressing an area in your
life that needs to be mortified

683
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,520
and that maybe you're listening
to me and Zach talk about this

684
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,200
and you're like, yeah, there's
there's, there's places that I

685
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,120
need to rethink my life.
I need to put aside those sins,

686
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,640
really focus on Christ and
living in a way that pleases

687
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,120
him, kind of rethinking what I
was thinking.

688
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,960
And then I need to start doing
these deeds.

689
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,920
Man, what a great word, the
mortification of sin and death.

690
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,480
Bring back the King James John.
I have a book on my bookshelf by

691
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,360
John Owen on the mortification
of sin and death.

692
00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:20,800
Great Puritan and I just, it's
just too hard for me to read.

693
00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:23,560
I, I, I just actually bought a
like a updated version.

694
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,840
I don't know if that takes away,
you know, when people like try

695
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:26,920
to make it more modern.
It's not.

696
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,960
I was just moving so slowly.
But who wrote that one?

697
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:31,040
I think it, I think it's John
Owen, OK.

698
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,840
John Owen I think that the I
think I said Jonathan Edward is

699
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:39,320
2 podcasts ago, but I linked
that book in there that

700
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,880
basically is a a modern version,
a modern version of that not

701
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,920
like just changing the words,
but basically re redoing it

702
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:47,760
'cause I.
Was like I'm gonna read the

703
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:48,719
Puritans.
This is great and I.

704
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,760
Was like I'm struggling the.
Puritans like I've made like 5

705
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,000
pages like this is.
So much work.

706
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,880
But great why this is this is a
great, great sermon.

707
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,600
It's a great sermon to recap.
And we got a little teaser of

708
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,800
next week from Michael to talk
about suffering a little bit.

709
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,200
So that's that's great.
Anything you want to add before

710
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,480
we close it out?
No, it's been good.

711
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,080
We're about to move into, you
know, some really good pieces in

712
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,760
Romans 8.
So I wonder how many?

713
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,960
Sermons we have left in Romans 8
'cause you could you could

714
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,040
really stretch it out because
it's so much at the end you.

715
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,680
Know 'cause you have creation,
groaning the Spirit, growing the

716
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,120
Spirit, praying for us, then you
have kind of the what gets

717
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,960
quoted a lot 828 but really
that's connected to 29 and 30

718
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,600
and then you start getting into
like nothing can separate us

719
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,480
from Christ.
You know, high depth

720
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:38,720
principalities and yeah it.
I I'm so I'm, I'm so intrigued.

721
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:40,560
Like if you listen at least.
Three, I think at least.

722
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,480
Three, I always think, like if
you listen to like these crazy

723
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,600
people, like John MacArthur,
John Piper, they'll literally

724
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,640
have like 10 sermons on, like
the golden chain of redemption

725
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,040
by itself.
Like they'll be like, well,

726
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,200
spending two on like, they just.
It's insane.

727
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,120
I know Patrick will love that,
but I think at least three.

728
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,240
Yeah, I feel like that too.
I think probably 3IN in the

729
00:35:58,240 --> 00:35:59,800
chapter.
I guess you could.

730
00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:03,360
It's been one, you know, on
glorification, being called,

731
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,120
being justified.
That's what people do.

732
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,080
Yeah, yeah.
But I mean, I don't think

733
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,480
probably, I mean, we've, yeah.
It's 'cause when you do that

734
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,760
really to what John Piper does,
like what type of glorification

735
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,840
and it's like turn in your Bible
over here or it's, you know,

736
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,720
it's like you look with the
context, but it's like we're.

737
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,120
Just going to develop the verses
that speak to justification,

738
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,840
which we have basically been
doing through through this track

739
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,840
through Romans.
So, you know, that's our take.

740
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,160

Two.
