[715.16 --> 715.66] he says,
[715.74 --> 716.28] and he calls it
[716.28 --> 717.42] the fruit of the Spirit,
[717.90 --> 718.58] to be blessed,
[718.70 --> 719.32] to be a blessing.
[720.40 --> 721.96] On the other side of this
[721.96 --> 723.46] is the conviction
[723.46 --> 724.46] and resistance
[724.46 --> 725.96] against sin
[725.96 --> 727.30] and all the brokenness
[727.30 --> 728.26] that comes from it.
[729.36 --> 730.54] And this latter part,
[730.72 --> 731.28] so you have,
[731.42 --> 732.06] on the one hand,
[732.44 --> 733.88] forming of Christ-like holiness
[733.88 --> 734.88] in our lives.
[735.14 --> 736.22] And on the other hand,
[736.56 --> 737.14] this conviction
[737.14 --> 737.84] and resistance
[737.84 --> 738.52] against sin.
[738.58 --> 739.14] And this is what
[739.14 --> 740.16] Paul explains first.
[740.50 --> 741.10] He says that
[741.10 --> 742.36] these acts of the flesh
[742.36 --> 743.66] is contrary
[743.66 --> 745.26] to the acts
[745.26 --> 746.16] or the fruit
[746.16 --> 746.78] of the Spirit.
[748.42 --> 749.72] The life in the Spirit
[749.72 --> 751.06] cannot and does not
[751.06 --> 752.08] go hand in hand
[752.08 --> 753.14] with our sinful,
[753.32 --> 754.38] ungodly lives.
[754.38 --> 756.08] And as Pastor Sid mentioned
[756.08 --> 756.70] in his sermon
[756.70 --> 758.48] a few weeks ago,
[758.74 --> 759.38] he said that
[759.38 --> 760.38] relying on the Spirit
[760.38 --> 761.80] is not some sort of
[761.80 --> 762.66] easy way out
[762.66 --> 763.98] to solve all of our problems.
[764.20 --> 764.66] And this part
[764.66 --> 765.86] is almost a direct quote.
[766.44 --> 766.90] Sid said,
[767.20 --> 767.50] rather,
[767.82 --> 768.92] the life in the Spirit
[768.92 --> 769.78] leads us
[769.78 --> 771.22] to be fully responsible.
[772.30 --> 773.78] To be fully responsible
[773.78 --> 774.88] and convicts us,
[774.96 --> 775.24] actually,
[775.32 --> 775.90] of our sins
[775.90 --> 777.86] to strive for repentance
[777.86 --> 779.22] and shalom.
[780.40 --> 781.38] The reconciliation
[781.38 --> 782.42] of brokenness.
[783.40 --> 784.36] And Jesus even said
[784.36 --> 785.44] in his Beatitudes,
[785.72 --> 786.58] in the Beatitudes,
[786.90 --> 788.12] he blesses those
[788.12 --> 789.46] who mourn.
[790.46 --> 792.02] Why would Jesus say
[792.02 --> 792.72] that we are blessed
[792.72 --> 793.46] if we mourn?
[793.56 --> 794.58] Why would we mourn?
[795.20 --> 795.72] He says,
[795.98 --> 796.70] blessed are those
[796.70 --> 797.22] who mourn
[797.22 --> 798.58] for they shall be comforted.
[798.72 --> 800.32] Because we who live
[800.32 --> 801.46] by the Spirit
[801.46 --> 802.72] mourn
[802.72 --> 803.68] and wrestle
[803.68 --> 805.16] against the brokenness
[805.16 --> 806.38] and the effects of sin
[806.38 --> 808.50] within our own lives,
[808.90 --> 809.92] within the relationships
[809.92 --> 810.78] with one another,
[811.12 --> 812.12] within the relationship
[812.12 --> 813.56] with God himself
[813.56 --> 814.94] and with all of creation.
[815.34 --> 816.44] We mourn at the fact
[816.44 --> 817.54] that the world
[817.54 --> 818.60] is not the way
[818.60 --> 819.58] it's supposed to be.
[820.48 --> 821.68] And we are comforted
[821.68 --> 822.58] because we have hope
[822.58 --> 823.08] in God
[823.08 --> 823.88] who will bring
[823.88 --> 825.38] full restoration.
[825.66 --> 826.84] And he makes it possible
[826.84 --> 828.20] little bit by little bit
[828.20 --> 828.86] in our lives
[828.86 --> 830.22] through his Holy Spirit's
[830.22 --> 830.60] leading.
[832.28 --> 833.36] Our lives
[833.36 --> 834.12] in the Spirit
[834.12 --> 835.88] does not allow
[835.88 --> 836.32] for us
[836.32 --> 837.56] to simply ignore
