[3053.28 --> 3055.04] means walking with him
|
[3055.04 --> 3056.54] living like him.
|
[3056.60 --> 3058.34] It means obeying God's design
|
[3058.34 --> 3059.94] not because you have to
|
[3059.94 --> 3062.26] but because you believe it's good.
|
[3063.66 --> 3063.76] Right?
|
[3063.76 --> 3065.82] God's righteous plan for your life
|
[3065.82 --> 3068.22] is his plan for your flourishing.
|
[3069.14 --> 3070.14] The will of God
|
[3070.14 --> 3071.08] his moral will
|
[3071.08 --> 3072.04] his decretive will
|
[3072.04 --> 3073.04] his sovereign will
|
[3073.04 --> 3074.88] are good for you.
|
[3076.66 --> 3078.80] Far from robbing you of joy
|
[3078.80 --> 3080.40] when Jesus says
|
[3080.40 --> 3081.20] if you love me
|
[3081.20 --> 3082.48] you will keep my commandments
|
[3082.48 --> 3084.44] he's offering you a glimpse
|
[3084.44 --> 3086.62] of what your best life now looks like.
|
[3087.90 --> 3088.02] Right?
|
[3088.10 --> 3088.66] Obedience.
|
[3089.54 --> 3091.48] Even obedience unto death.
|
[3092.22 --> 3092.82] Right?
|
[3092.82 --> 3094.42] Joining Christ in his suffering
|
[3094.42 --> 3095.86] means joining him
|
[3095.86 --> 3096.64] in his resurrection.
|
[3097.20 --> 3098.76] Being obedient to his will
|
[3098.76 --> 3101.16] is actually the way of joy.
|
[3103.16 --> 3103.70] Right?
|
[3103.72 --> 3105.24] If you listen to the voice
|
[3105.24 --> 3107.36] of our culture and world
|
[3107.36 --> 3108.76] and increasingly
|
[3108.76 --> 3109.88] the same voice
|
[3109.88 --> 3111.24] is heard everywhere.
|
[3112.14 --> 3112.32] Right?
|
[3112.36 --> 3113.54] You might think that
|
[3113.54 --> 3115.42] sex apart from being married
|
[3115.42 --> 3116.16] is good.
|
[3117.46 --> 3118.54] What I want you to hear
|
[3118.54 --> 3120.48] is that obedience to Jesus
|
[3120.48 --> 3121.34] is better.
|
[3122.62 --> 3123.06] Right?
|
[3123.10 --> 3123.78] You might think that
|
[3123.78 --> 3125.20] a little recreational drug use
|
[3125.20 --> 3125.84] is good
|
[3125.84 --> 3128.36] but obedience to Jesus
|
[3128.36 --> 3129.20] is better.
|
[3130.32 --> 3131.14] You might sit here
|
[3131.14 --> 3132.12] rationalizing
|
[3132.12 --> 3133.66] your pornography use
|
[3133.66 --> 3134.18] saying look
|
[3134.18 --> 3135.00] no one's getting hurt
|
[3135.00 --> 3136.20] but walking in the way
|
[3136.20 --> 3136.72] of Jesus
|
[3136.72 --> 3137.90] and not even looking
|
[3137.90 --> 3139.20] at a person lustfully
|
[3139.20 --> 3140.20] is true life
|
[3140.20 --> 3141.48] is full humanity.
|
[3143.14 --> 3144.54] Now you might hear that
|
[3144.54 --> 3145.28] and you might think
|
[3145.28 --> 3146.22] but pastor
|
[3146.22 --> 3147.14] that's impossible.
|
[3147.14 --> 3149.20] to which I say
|
[3149.20 --> 3150.70] refer back to number one.
|
[3152.26 --> 3152.38] Right?
|
[3152.44 --> 3153.22] Remember that's why
|
[3153.22 --> 3154.74] theological and economic
|
[3154.74 --> 3155.94] understandings of righteousness
|
[3155.94 --> 3157.14] have to come together.
|
[3158.44 --> 3159.68] Apart from him
|
[3159.68 --> 3160.74] and his righteousness
|
[3160.74 --> 3161.76] it is impossible.
|
[3162.70 --> 3163.86] But thanks be to God
|
[3163.86 --> 3165.18] he has given us the victory
|
[3165.18 --> 3166.26] he has made us new
|
[3166.26 --> 3168.38] he has transformed you
|
[3168.38 --> 3170.16] and with that transformation
|
[3170.16 --> 3172.00] with his setting you apart
|
[3172.00 --> 3173.50] as a holy nation
|
[3173.50 --> 3174.74] a royal priesthood
|
[3174.74 --> 3176.20] a people belonging to God
|
[3176.20 --> 3177.70] he has made you
|
[3177.70 --> 3179.26] able to live for him
|
[3179.26 --> 3182.22] because you love him
|
[3182.22 --> 3184.12] and are loved by him.
|
[3184.24 --> 3186.00] That is you live your life
|
[3186.00 --> 3187.60] in the power of the spirit.
|
[3187.94 --> 3188.94] You live your life
|
[3188.94 --> 3191.02] in your new creation self
|
[3191.02 --> 3192.84] your born again identity.
|
[3193.10 --> 3195.30] You live with a new name.
|
[3197.08 --> 3197.44] And look
|
[3197.44 --> 3200.42] if there's a problem
|
[3200.42 --> 3201.92] in the Christian church
|
[3201.92 --> 3203.54] in the west today
|
[3203.54 --> 3205.64] it's probably this.
|
[3206.20 --> 3208.62] Christians come to church
|
[3208.62 --> 3209.16] on Sunday
|
[3209.16 --> 3210.46] professing the name of Jesus
|
[3210.46 --> 3211.74] singing praises to God
