[199.60 --> 200.54] Brothers and sisters, |
[200.54 --> 202.44] if someone is caught in a sin, |
[203.44 --> 205.38] you who live by the Spirit |
[205.38 --> 208.56] should restore that person gently. |
[209.70 --> 210.78] But watch yourselves, |
[210.90 --> 213.04] or you also may be tempted. |
[213.70 --> 215.14] Carry each other's burdens, |
[215.50 --> 218.32] and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. |
[219.32 --> 221.30] If anyone thinks they are something |
[221.30 --> 222.22] when they are not, |
[222.34 --> 224.02] they deceive themselves. |
[225.04 --> 227.10] Each one should test their own actions. |
[227.10 --> 229.62] Then they can take pride in themselves alone |
[229.62 --> 231.78] without comparing themselves to someone else. |
[232.50 --> 235.00] For each one should carry their own load. |
[235.86 --> 236.14] Nevertheless, |
[236.40 --> 238.48] one who receives instruction in the Word |
[238.48 --> 241.24] should share all good things with their instructor. |
[241.42 --> 242.76] Do not be deceived. |
[243.36 --> 244.56] God cannot be mocked. |
[245.06 --> 246.50] A man reaps what he sows, |
[246.94 --> 249.56] and whoever sows to please the flesh, |
[250.10 --> 252.36] from the flesh will reap destruction. |
[252.36 --> 255.36] Whoever sows to please the Spirit, |
[255.74 --> 258.36] from the Spirit will reap eternal life. |
[259.26 --> 261.28] So let's not become weary in doing good, |
[261.40 --> 262.56] for at the proper time, |
[262.88 --> 265.50] we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. |
[266.44 --> 266.88] And therefore, |
[267.16 --> 268.40] as we have opportunity, |
[268.62 --> 270.12] let us do good to all people, |
[270.38 --> 272.58] especially to those who belong to the family of believers. |
[273.66 --> 275.62] You see what large letters I use |
[275.62 --> 277.80] as I write you with my own hand? |
[277.80 --> 281.24] Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh |
[281.24 --> 283.40] are trying to compel you to be circumcised. |
[283.48 --> 284.46] That was the issue of the day. |
[285.18 --> 286.26] The only reason they do this |
[286.26 --> 289.28] is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ, |
[289.92 --> 291.16] which they were afraid of. |
[291.66 --> 293.94] Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, |
[294.00 --> 295.72] yet they want you to be circumcised |
[295.72 --> 299.92] that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh. |
[300.88 --> 304.78] May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
[304.78 --> 307.90] through which the world has been crucified to me |
[307.90 --> 309.52] and I to the world. |
[310.56 --> 312.86] Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision |
[312.86 --> 313.88] means anything at all. |
[313.94 --> 316.06] What counts is the new creation. |
[316.92 --> 318.88] Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, |
[319.32 --> 320.72] to the Israel of God. |
[321.00 --> 323.06] From now on, let no one cause me trouble, |
[323.34 --> 325.64] for I bear on my body the marks of Christ. |
[326.06 --> 328.58] The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you, |
[328.66 --> 329.90] brothers and sisters. |
[330.38 --> 330.78] Amen. |
[332.74 --> 333.88] So there's Paul's letter. |
[333.88 --> 335.32] I'm on the end of it. |
[336.22 --> 338.36] He has two concerns here. |
[338.98 --> 341.46] A doctrinal one, which is a belief concern, |
[342.20 --> 344.32] and a situational concern. |
[345.24 --> 347.86] The doctrinal concern is this. |
[348.52 --> 353.62] The believers are losing their hold on justification. |
[353.94 --> 354.60] So what's justification? |
[355.34 --> 356.76] Justification by faith alone, |
[357.08 --> 361.38] on being right with God through faith and grace only. |
[361.38 --> 364.72] And Paul sees that slipping away a little bit. |
[365.30 --> 367.34] And then there's a situational concern, |
[367.74 --> 369.66] which is often the case over time, |
[370.02 --> 371.46] is for their unity. |
[371.94 --> 373.66] That they are not, as he says elsewhere, |
[373.86 --> 375.92] biting and devouring one another. |
[376.40 --> 378.80] He says, let's not become conceited. |
[378.90 --> 379.04] Right? |
[379.08 --> 380.62] You have a conflict going on. |
[380.86 --> 382.92] Now you can have this side demonizing this side, |
[382.98 --> 383.38] and so on. |
[383.38 --> 384.08] And so on. |
[384.32 --> 386.38] You know, let us not become conceited. |
[386.46 --> 387.54] Oh, I know best. |
[388.64 --> 390.82] Let us not be provoking one another. |
[391.90 --> 393.42] That never happens in churches, does it? |
[395.78 --> 396.22] Conceited. |
[396.46 --> 396.98] That word. |
[397.14 --> 399.04] It's a powerful word in its own way. |
[399.04 --> 401.76] But I like this old English translation of it, |
[402.04 --> 403.18] and it's vainglory. |
[404.26 --> 405.80] Maybe you've never heard of the word, |
[405.90 --> 407.22] but vainglory. |
[407.66 --> 410.18] It's from a Greek word meaning empty of glory. |
[410.86 --> 412.72] And you're after glory. |
[413.76 --> 416.12] You're trying to find it, but you can't. |
[416.36 --> 417.66] So it's vainglory. |
[417.78 --> 418.86] You're doing it in vain. |
[419.82 --> 422.48] This is one who is desperate for recognition. |
[423.34 --> 425.50] You sense an emptiness within, |
[425.50 --> 428.14] and you attempt to fill that emptiness |
[428.14 --> 432.04] with often people's affirmation and recognition. |
[433.24 --> 435.40] You're desperate to prove your worth. |
[435.40 --> 438.82] This is the heart condition Paul's talking about. |
