[819.04 --> 819.92] Galatians carefully, |
[820.50 --> 821.74] you will probably have noticed |
[821.74 --> 822.34] that the Spirit |
[822.34 --> 823.70] has showed up a lot already, |
[823.70 --> 825.50] and we haven't focused on it yet |
[825.50 --> 826.40] because there's just so many |
[826.40 --> 827.28] other things that Paul |
[827.28 --> 828.58] is trying to say in Galatians. |
[828.82 --> 829.64] But let me give us |
[829.64 --> 831.12] just a really brief summary |
[831.12 --> 832.44] of what Paul has already said |
[832.44 --> 832.94] in Galatians |
[832.94 --> 834.32] about the Holy Spirit. |
[835.14 --> 835.76] Number one, |
[836.70 --> 838.54] Christians receive the Holy Spirit |
[838.54 --> 841.24] at the time of their conversion. |
[842.66 --> 844.46] The moment you came to faith, |
[845.32 --> 846.24] the Spirit of God |
[846.24 --> 847.26] was operative in your life. |
[847.28 --> 847.68] And I would say, |
[847.74 --> 848.70] even mysteriously, |
[849.16 --> 850.04] wonderfully, |
[850.24 --> 851.06] even before that, |
[851.06 --> 852.80] creating in you this desire, |
[852.94 --> 853.50] this ambition, |
[853.64 --> 854.36] this intent |
[854.36 --> 855.30] to sort of know |
[855.30 --> 855.88] what you believe |
[855.88 --> 856.84] and why you exist. |
[857.14 --> 857.98] And when you come to faith, |
[858.04 --> 858.36] you could say, |
[858.42 --> 858.92] praise the Lord, |
[858.98 --> 859.86] the Spirit of God |
[859.86 --> 861.18] is at work in me. |
[861.52 --> 862.48] You do not need to doubt it. |
[862.56 --> 863.00] Number two, |
[863.64 --> 864.94] the plan from the beginning, |
[865.12 --> 866.62] according to Galatians 3, 14, |
[866.68 --> 867.10] and following, |
[867.36 --> 868.32] was that the nations |
[868.32 --> 869.08] around the world |
[869.08 --> 870.78] would come to faith in Jesus |
[870.78 --> 872.16] and receive the power |
[872.16 --> 873.04] of the Holy Spirit, |
[873.26 --> 874.42] and communities |
[874.42 --> 875.98] would live and move |
[875.98 --> 877.06] and follow the leading |
[877.06 --> 878.24] of God's Spirit. |
[878.24 --> 880.32] Thirdly, |
[881.38 --> 882.46] as Jonathan preached |
[882.46 --> 883.26] on last week, |
[883.84 --> 885.02] the Holy Spirit |
[885.02 --> 888.12] enables us to call God Dad, |
[888.86 --> 889.10] right? |
[889.16 --> 889.98] In Galatians 4, |
[890.64 --> 891.38] 4 to 7, |
[891.82 --> 892.78] it's Abba, Father, |
[892.86 --> 893.32] that language |
[893.32 --> 894.14] that comes from us. |
[894.20 --> 894.68] That is because |
[894.68 --> 896.30] the Spirit enables us |
[896.30 --> 897.40] to have this intimate |
[897.40 --> 898.50] relationship with the Father. |
[898.60 --> 899.64] It's not natural to us |
[899.64 --> 900.18] in our rebellion. |
[900.46 --> 901.10] It's the Spirit |
[901.10 --> 902.54] who brings us back |
[902.54 --> 903.70] into a relationship |
[903.70 --> 904.30] with our Father |
[904.30 --> 905.14] who loves us. |
[905.60 --> 906.10] And finally, |
[906.18 --> 906.66] this is what we're |
[906.66 --> 907.56] going to focus on today. |
[907.56 --> 909.20] It is the Spirit |
[909.20 --> 911.04] that enables us |
[911.04 --> 912.68] to have victory |
[912.68 --> 914.80] over our sinful flesh, |
[915.32 --> 916.34] the old self, |
[916.74 --> 917.72] the old desires |
[917.72 --> 918.62] that enslave us, |
[918.72 --> 919.94] and then it is the Spirit |
[919.94 --> 921.20] that produces in us |
[921.20 --> 923.02] the fruit of love, |
[923.30 --> 924.32] joy, peace, |
[924.82 --> 925.70] patience, kindness, |
[925.92 --> 926.38] goodness, |
[927.06 --> 927.54] gentleness, |
[927.88 --> 928.76] and self-control. |
[932.06 --> 934.12] Jonathan mentioned last week |
[934.12 --> 935.58] I think something very profound |
[935.58 --> 936.40] that I want to repeat. |
[936.40 --> 937.74] He said it's important |
[937.74 --> 938.14] that we know |
[938.14 --> 939.00] that when Jesus came |
[939.00 --> 939.96] and defeated death |
[939.96 --> 941.02] and sin and Satan, |
[941.02 --> 942.12] he went through the grave |
[942.12 --> 943.22] into resurrection life. |
[943.42 --> 944.46] He didn't look at the church |
[944.46 --> 944.76] and say, |
