DR. GEORGE KNIGHT. DR.
00:01:06.60\00:01:08.13
KNIGHT, WELCOME BACK
TO "IT IS WRITTEN". >>DR.
00:01:08.13\00:01:09.13
KNIGHT: IT'S GOOD TO BE
HERE, BILL. >>BILL: WE HAD
00:01:09.13\00:01:10.93
THE PRIVILEGE OF HAVING
YOU ON LAST SEASON AND WE
00:01:10.93\00:01:13.90
TOOK A JOURNEY THROUGH
THE BOOK OF HEBREWS AND I HAVE
00:01:13.90\00:01:15.00
TO TELL YOU THAT THAT
HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST
00:01:15.00\00:01:18.10
POPULAR SERIES THAT
WE HAVE EVER AIRED. >>DR.
00:01:18.10\00:01:23.60
KNIGHT: I'LL TELL YOU,
HEBREWS IS A GREAT BOOK
00:01:23.60\00:01:24.60
>>BILL: SO, WE HAD A
CHANCE TO TALK AND YOU
00:01:24.60\00:01:26.73
ACCEPTED OUR INVITATION
TO COME BACK AND THIS TIME
00:01:26.73\00:01:30.40
YOU SUGGESTED WE
GO THROUGH THE BOOK OF
00:01:30.40\00:01:31.30
ROMANS. AND SO WE'RE
LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS
00:01:31.30\00:01:34.73
AND I'M GOING TO PASS
THE TIME OVER TO YOU AND LET
00:01:34.73\00:01:40.66
YOU BEGIN OUR EXPLORATION
OF THE BOOK OF ROMANS
00:01:40.66\00:01:41.66
>>DR. KNIGHT: WELL,
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU RIGHT
00:01:41.66\00:01:44.80
NOW, PROBABLY WHAT
PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND, MORE
00:01:44.80\00:01:47.56
THAN ANYTHING, IS THE
FACT THAT ROMANS IS PROBABLY
00:01:47.56\00:01:48.63
THE MOST INFLUENTIAL
DOCUMENT. SINGLE DOCUMENT
00:01:48.63\00:01:52.66
IN THE HISTORY OF THE
WESTERN WORLD. >>BILL: WHY
00:01:52.66\00:01:55.96
WOULD YOU SAY THAT? >>DR.
00:01:55.96\00:01:56.50
KNIGHT: WELL, IF YOU
TAKE A LOOK AT HISTORY ITSELF,
00:01:56.50\00:01:59.23
NOT ONLY AT PAUL'S
EXPERIENCE, BUT WITH THE
00:01:59.23\00:02:00.20
SHAPING OF THE MEDIEVAL
PERIOD WITH ST. AUGUSTINE,
00:02:00.20\00:02:04.40
WHO SHAPED BOTH THE
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE
00:02:04.40\00:02:09.90
PROTESTANT CHURCH
THROUGH HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE
00:02:09.90\00:02:10.90
BOOK OF ROMANS. AND
THEN, OF COURSE, MOST
00:02:10.90\00:02:17.16
OF US KNOW, THE PROTESTANT
REFORMATION. MARTIN LUTHER
00:02:17.16\00:02:20.83
PICKED UP THE BOOK OF
ROMANS AND IT CHANGED THE
00:02:20.83\00:02:21.83
WESTERN WORLD AND ALSO
SEPARATED THE CHURCH INTO
00:02:21.83\00:02:25.76
TWO SEPARATE PARTS. THE
ROMAN CATHOLIC PART OF THE
00:02:25.76\00:02:30.66
WESTERN CHURCH AND
THE PROTESTANT PART. JOHN
00:02:30.66\00:02:31.60
WESLEY COMES ALONG, TWO
OR THREE HUNDRED YEARS LATER,
00:02:31.60\00:02:36.00
AND THE GREAT METHODIST
REVIVAL. OF COURSE, WESLEY
00:02:36.00\00:02:40.46
HIMSELF BELONGED TO THE
CHURCH OF ENGLAND, NEVER
00:02:40.46\00:02:41.46
CEASED FROM IT. BUT
THE BOOK OF ROMANS STARTED
00:02:41.46\00:02:44.86
A REVIVAL IN HIS
LIFE IN MINISTRY. AND THE
00:02:44.86\00:02:50.26
TWENTIETH CENTURY, IT'S
THE BOOK OF ROMANS IS WHAT
00:02:50.26\00:02:51.33
STARTS WHAT IS KNOWN
AS NEO-ORTHODOXY. THE
00:02:51.33\00:02:56.03
REFORMATION, YOU SHOULD
SAY, A MODERN REFORMATION
00:02:56.03\00:03:00.30
OF PROTESTANTISM AND A
DRIVE BACK TO SCRIPTURE
00:03:00.30\00:03:01.26
ITSELF. >>BILL: WOW. >>DR.
00:03:01.26\00:03:05.00
KNIGHT: THE BOOK OF
ROMANS HAS TRULY BEEN A SHAPING
00:03:05.00\00:03:06.03
BOOK IN THE HISTORY OF
WESTERN CULTURE. >>BILL:
00:03:06.03\00:03:13.10
INCREDIBLE. NOW, WHEN
WAS THIS ACTUALLY PENNED?
00:03:13.10\00:03:16.90
>>DR. KNIGHT: WE DON'T
KNOW THE EXACT DATE BUT WE
00:03:16.90\00:03:17.93
KNOW ABOUT THE DATE. HOW
DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE DATE?
00:03:17.93\00:03:23.76
WELL, THERE'S BOTH JEWS
AND GENTILES IN THE CHURCH
00:03:23.76\00:03:28.93
AND THAT'LL BECOME A
MAJOR ISSUE. CLAUDIUS, THE
00:03:28.93\00:03:29.93
EMPEROR CLAUDIUS, ROMAN
EMPEROR CLAUDIUS EXPELLED
00:03:29.93\00:03:36.03
ALL THE JEWS FROM ROME
IN AD49. YOU'LL FIND THAT
00:03:36.03\00:03:43.36
WITH SOME OF THE OTHER
NEW TESTAMENT BOOKS. SOME
00:03:43.36\00:03:44.36
OF THE JEWS ARE OUT THERE
BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T LIVE
00:03:44.36\00:03:48.73
IN ROME ANYMORE. CLAUDIUS
DIED IN AD54. AND SO YOU
00:03:48.73\00:03:57.26
HAVE AD54 TO AD64 AND
IT'S IN THAT TIME PERIOD
00:03:57.26\00:03:58.23
THAT ROMANS WAS WRITTEN.
00:03:58.23\00:04:05.83
>>BILL: AND HAD PAUL
BEEN TO ROME? >>DR. KNIGHT:
00:04:05.83\00:04:06.83
PAUL.IN FACT, THIS IS
THE WHOLE THING, WHY IS THE
00:04:06.83\00:04:10.83
BOOK WRITTEN? >>BILL:
YEAH, WHAT PROMPTED HIM
00:04:10.83\00:04:14.00
TO.>>DR. KNIGHT:
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU THINK
00:04:14.00\00:04:15.00
OF THE CORINTHIANS OR
THE EPHESIANS.>>BILL: SURE.
00:04:15.00\00:04:17.63
>>DR. KNIGHT.OR THE
GALATIANS, PAUL HAD NOT
00:04:17.63\00:04:21.13
ONLY BEEN THERE,
HE STARTED THE CHURCH
00:04:21.13\00:04:22.00
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:04:22.00\00:04:23.83
KNIGHT: AND SO, PAUL'S
BOOKS ARE REALLY DIVIDED,
00:04:23.83\00:04:24.93
MOST OF THE
BOOKS ARE DIVIDED INTO
00:04:24.93\00:04:28.46
TWO CATEGORIES: THOSE HE
WROTE TO INDIVIDUALS LIKE
00:04:28.46\00:04:31.33
TIMOTHY AND TITUS OR
TO THE OWNER OF PHILEMON
00:04:31.33\00:04:32.36
THOSE BOOKS WERE
WRITTEN TO INDIVIDUALS, OTHER
00:04:32.36\00:04:43.10
BOOKS WERE WRITTEN TO
CHURCHES HE'D FOUNDED AND
00:04:43.10\00:04:46.00
HE SAID, LOOK IT,
YOU'VE KIND OF GOT THE MESSAGE
00:04:46.00\00:04:47.00
STRAIGHT BUT YOU'VE GOT
THESE, YOU KNOW, HERETICS
00:04:47.00\00:04:49.90
COMING AND IN ON THE SIDE
AND THEY'VE GOT SOME FALSE
00:04:49.90\00:04:53.80
TEACHINGS, THEY'VE
GOT ANOTHER GOSPEL OR
00:04:53.80\00:04:54.70
SOMETHING ELSE. AND SO,
HE WANTS TO STRAIGHTEN THEM
00:04:54.70\00:04:58.53
OUT, HE WANTS TO
CAUTION THEM. >>BILL: YES. >>DR.
00:04:58.53\00:05:00.70
KNIGHT: ROMANS.>>BILL:
COMPLETELY.NONE OF THAT.
00:05:00.70\00:05:01.80
>>DR. KNIGHT:.NEVER
BEEN THERE BUT HE TELLS US
00:05:01.80\00:05:06.13
THAT HE'D LIKE TO GO.
AND, OF COURSE, THE QUESTION
00:05:06.13\00:05:09.00
BECOMES, WHY WOULD
PAUL WANT TO GO TO ROME
00:05:09.00\00:05:09.93
>>BILL: YES. >>DR.
KNIGHT: WELL, OVER HERE IN THE
00:05:09.93\00:05:13.86
15TH CHAPTER, HE TELLS US
IN VERSES 22 AND 23, "THIS
00:05:13.86\00:05:24.76
IS THE REASON WHY I'VE
SO OFTEN BEEN HINDERED FROM
00:05:24.76\00:05:25.76
COMING TO YOU BUT NOW
SINCE I NO LONGER HAVE
00:05:25.76\00:05:28.93
ROOM TO WORK IN THESE
REGIONS", WAIT A MINUTE.
00:05:28.93\00:05:34.50
SO, HE'S PRETTY MUCH.PAUL
WAS A PIONEER MISSIONARY
00:05:34.50\00:05:35.50
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:05:35.50\00:05:39.33
KNIGHT: YOU KNOW,
THERE'S SOME GUYS THAT TURN
00:05:39.33\00:05:40.30
OUT.SOME PEOPLE, I
SHOULD SAY, THAT TURN OUT TO BE
00:05:40.30\00:05:43.33
PASTORS. PAUL WAS NOT A
PASTOR. HE WAS A FOUNDING
00:05:43.33\00:05:44.70
EVANGELIST. WHAT WE
WOULD CALL A PIONEER MISSIONARY
00:05:44.70\00:05:45.73
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:05:45.73\00:05:50.10
KNIGHT: HE'D WORKED
IN GREECE, HE'D WORKED IN
00:05:50.10\00:05:51.06
TURKEY, HE'D.IN TERMS
OF PIONEER WORK HE'D PRETTY
00:05:51.06\00:05:52.83
MUCH USED UP THE EASTERN
HALF OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
00:05:52.83\00:05:58.76
AND SO WHERE'S HE WANT
TO GO? VERSE 24, "I HOPE TO
00:05:58.76\00:05:59.90
SEE YOU IN PASSING AS I
GO TO SPAIN." >>BILL: OH,
00:05:59.90\00:06:06.13
OKAY. >>DR. KNIGHT: NOW,
INTERESTING ENOUGH, BILL,
00:06:06.13\00:06:09.93
HE RAISES THESE
SAME ISSUES IN THE FIRST
00:06:09.93\00:06:10.80
CHAPTER. KEEP YOUR
FINGER OVER HERE, HE RAISES
00:06:10.80\00:06:15.13
THE SAME ISSUES, IN THE
BEGINNING AND IN THE END,
00:06:15.13\00:06:21.30
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT
THEY KNOW THAT HE'S COMING
00:06:21.30\00:06:22.33
TO VISIT AND TO TEACH
THEM THE GOSPEL. THEY ALREADY
00:06:22.33\00:06:28.26
KNOW THE GOSPEL BUT HE
WANTS TO MAKE SURE. WHY?
00:06:28.26\00:06:33.70
BECAUSE HE WANTS THEM
TO HELP HIM IN HIS MISSION
00:06:33.70\00:06:34.83
TO SPAIN. THIS WOULD
BE, REALLY, THE FIRST TIME
00:06:34.83\00:06:40.63
THAT WE KNOW OF,
PROBABLY NOT THE FIRST TIME,
00:06:40.63\00:06:45.83
BECAUSE THERE WERE
PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT
00:06:45.83\00:06:46.86
WERE AT PENTECOST, BUT
IT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT
00:06:46.86\00:06:50.20
WE HAVE A REFERENCE IN
SCRIPTURE THAT THE MISSION
00:06:50.20\00:06:54.40
OF THE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH WAS MOVING BEYOND THE
00:06:54.40\00:06:55.40
ITALIAN PENINSULA, OVER
TO THE FAR CORNER.>>BILL:
00:06:55.40\00:06:59.63
TO THE IBERIANS. >>DR.
00:06:59.63\00:07:00.16
KNIGHT.OF THE WORLD. THE
IBERIAN PENINSULA. AND SO,
00:07:00.16\00:07:04.83
WE HAVE PAUL WANTING TO
GO TO SPAIN AND HE WANTS SOME
00:07:04.83\00:07:10.10
HELP FROM THE HOME
CHURCH IN ROME. >>BILL:
00:07:10.10\00:07:11.03
WOULD ROME BE THE
LARGEST CONCENTRATION, AT THIS
00:07:11.03\00:07:17.50
POINT, OF BELIEVERS? >>DR.
00:07:17.50\00:07:18.03
KNIGHT: WELL, LET'S
PUT IT THIS WAY, OBVIOUSLY
00:07:18.03\00:07:22.56
A LARGE CONCENTRATION BUT
AN IMPORTANT PLACE BECAUSE
00:07:22.56\00:07:28.03
ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME.
00:07:28.03\00:07:28.56
REMEMBER, THIS IS A WORLD
DURING THE PAX ROMANA THAT
00:07:28.56\00:07:34.20
IS THE ROMAN PEACE, IN
WHICH THE ROMANS CREATED A
00:07:34.20\00:07:35.36
SYSTEM OF ROADS THAT
WENT THROUGHOUT THE EMPIRE.
00:07:35.36\00:07:40.26
SO, IT'S VERY TRUE
THAT ALL ROMAN ROADS CROSSED
00:07:40.26\00:07:47.03
THROUGH ROME. AND SO,
THAT'S SUCH A COSMOPOLITAN
00:07:47.03\00:07:48.06
GROUP IN ROME. AND
YOU REMEMBER EARLIER, IN
00:07:48.06\00:07:53.83
THE BOOK OF ACTS, PAUL
USED ANTIOCH, IN EASTERN
00:07:53.83\00:07:59.50
MEDITERRANEAN AS A
MISSIONARY BASE. THEY WERE
00:07:59.50\00:08:00.66
KIND OF HIS HOME
SUPPORT GROUP. SO, WHAT WE'RE
00:08:00.66\00:08:05.46
GOING TO FIND HERE IS
THAT PAUL WANTS TO USE SPAIN,
00:08:05.46\00:08:10.46
EXCUSE ME, ROME AS A
BASE AS HE MOVES OUT TO SPAIN
00:08:10.46\00:08:11.46
AND IF HE WOULD HAVE
LIVED LONGER, WHO KNOWS TO
00:08:11.46\00:08:18.93
WHERE. >>BILL: ISN'T
THAT INTERESTING? NOW, IS IT
00:08:18.93\00:08:22.93
FAIR TO SAY, PEOPLE
HAD HEARD OF PAUL. MANY HAD
00:08:22.93\00:08:23.96
NEVER MET HIM AND HE
HADN'T MET THEM, HAD THEY?
00:08:23.96\00:08:27.83
>>DR. KNIGHT: WELL, HE
MET SOME OF THEM. BECAUSE,
00:08:27.83\00:08:32.36
REMEMBER, OF ALL THE
TIMES IN THE ANCIENT WORLD,
00:08:32.36\00:08:33.40
THE PAX ROMANA ALLOWED
FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL.
00:08:33.40\00:08:38.56
>>BILL: OH, OKAY. >>DR.
00:08:38.56\00:08:39.06
KNIGHT: THAT'S, YOU
KNOW WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS OVER
00:08:39.06\00:08:42.43
IN MARK AND GALATIANS
THAT THE TIME WAS RIGHT, WELL,
00:08:42.43\00:08:46.86
IT WAS TIME FOR
RIGHT THE SPREADING OF THE
00:08:46.86\00:08:47.80
GOSPEL BECAUSE ONE
LANGUAGE.REALLY, IF YOU
00:08:47.80\00:08:50.23
KNEW GREEK YOU COULD
JUST ABOUT GO ANYWHERE IN THE
00:08:50.23\00:08:56.86
WORLD, THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
00:08:56.86\00:08:57.36
IT HAD THE ROADS, IT
HAD THE.IT WAS THE TIME WHEN
00:08:57.36\00:09:00.70
THE GOSPEL COULD BE
SPREAD QUICKLY. SO, PAUL
00:09:00.70\00:09:01.73
UNDOUBTEDLY KNEW THE
PEOPLE THERE. IN FACT,
00:09:01.73\00:09:06.60
WHEN HE GETS TO CHAPTER
16, YOU'RE GOING TO FIND A
00:09:06.60\00:09:11.56
WHOLE CHAPTER JUST
NAMING PEOPLE. >>BILL: OH, OKAY.
00:09:11.56\00:09:12.60
>>DR. KNIGHT: AND
THERE'S SOME VERY INTERESTING
00:09:12.60\00:09:15.16
PEOPLE IN THAT LIST
>>BILL: OH, OKAY. HOW LONG
00:09:15.16\00:09:18.66
IS THIS, ROUGHLY, AFTER
PAUL'S CONVERSION? MAYBE
00:09:18.66\00:09:19.76
ABOUT TWENTY YEARS.
IS IT ABOUT 15, 20 YEARS
00:09:19.76\00:09:23.20
AFTER.>>DR. KNIGHT: A
GOOD TWENTY-SOMETHING YEARS.
00:09:23.20\00:09:28.00
YEAH, A GOOD TWENTY PLUS.
00:09:28.00\00:09:28.53
PAUL WAS AN EXPERIENCED
EVANGELIST BY THIS TIME.
00:09:28.53\00:09:33.20
HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING.
00:09:33.20\00:09:33.76
HE ALSO KNEW THE PROBLEMS
HE WAS FACING. AND SO, IF
00:09:33.76\00:09:40.70
WE MIGHT SAY THAT
THE PRACTICAL PURPOSE OF
00:09:40.70\00:09:41.56
WRITING THE BOOK OF ROMANS
WAS TO CREATE A MISSIONARY
00:09:41.56\00:09:46.23
BASE. HE HAD A PROBLEM.
00:09:46.23\00:09:46.73
THESE PEOPLE WERE SPLIT.
00:09:46.73\00:09:53.43
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES
WE HAVE SPLIT CHURCHES
00:09:53.43\00:09:54.36
TODAY >>BILL: YEAH. >>DR.
00:09:54.36\00:09:56.43
KNIGHT: SOMETIMES
THEY'RE SPLIT ON LINGUISTIC
00:09:56.43\00:09:57.40
LINES, ETHNIC LINES,
AND THEOLOGICAL LINES. THIS
00:09:57.40\00:09:59.53
GROUP WAS SPLIT ALONG
SEVERAL OF THOSE LINES.
00:09:59.53\00:10:03.46
AND SO, THE SECONDARY
PURPOSE WAS TO GET THESE
00:10:03.46\00:10:04.43
PEOPLE TO WORK TOGETHER.
00:10:04.43\00:10:08.73
AND, OF COURSE, ANY READER
OF THE NEW TESTAMENT KNOWS
00:10:08.73\00:10:09.83
THAT THE BIGGEST
PROBLEM WAS ALWAYS BETWEEN
00:10:09.83\00:10:14.06
THE JEWS AND THE GENTILES.
00:10:14.06\00:10:14.60
WHO WAS TO RUN THE CHURCH?
00:10:14.60\00:10:20.80
WHOSE THEOLOGY WAS TO
PREDOMINATE? AND SO, WHAT
00:10:20.80\00:10:21.80
WE FIND IN THE
HISTORY OF THE ROMAN CHURCH IS
00:10:21.80\00:10:26.66
FIRSTLY, WHEN THE
CHURCH WAS FOUNDED, PROBABLY IF
00:10:26.66\00:10:34.33
WE GO BACK TO ACTS II
WITH PETER'S GREAT SPEECH
00:10:34.33\00:10:35.33
AT PENTECOST, YOU HAVE
ALL THESE JEWS.IT SAYS IN ACTS
00:10:35.33\00:10:40.30
II THAT THERE WERE
JEWS THAT HAD COME FROM ROME
00:10:40.30\00:10:48.80
AND THERE WERE ALSO
GENTILE BELIEVERS THAT HAD
00:10:48.80\00:10:49.80
COME FROM ROME. OUR
GUESS IS THAT THE ROMAN CHURCH
00:10:49.80\00:10:53.90
WAS FOUNDED BY
BELIEVERS GOING BACK AFTER
00:10:53.90\00:10:59.50
PENTECOST. ALL OF THEM
HAD BEEN JEWS BUT SOME OF THEM
00:10:59.50\00:11:00.66
WERE GENTILE JEWS AND
SOME OF THEM WERE HEBREW
00:11:00.66\00:11:06.33
JEWS AND THE HEBREWS
WERE UNDOUBTEDLY IN CONTROL OF
00:11:06.33\00:11:15.70
THE CHURCH. BUT THEN
COMES AD49, CLAUDIUS SAYS
00:11:15.70\00:11:16.66
EVERYBODY'S A JEW HAS
GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE. TELL
00:11:16.66\00:11:22.83
ME, BILL, WHO'S LEFT
TO RUN THE CHURCH? >>BILL:
00:11:22.83\00:11:26.13
THE GENTILES. >>DR.
00:11:26.13\00:11:26.60
KNIGHT: THE GENTILES.
00:11:26.60\00:11:27.06
OKAY, FIVE YEARS PASS.
THE GENTILES HAVE BEEN VERY
00:11:27.06\00:11:30.00
HAPPY RUNNING THEIR CHURCH
AND THEY'RE PROBABLY DOING
00:11:30.00\00:11:32.93
THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
00:11:32.93\00:11:33.50
EVEN TEACHING A FEW
THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. AD54,
00:11:33.50\00:11:38.56
CLAUDIUS DIES, HERE COME
THE JEWS. >>BILL: HISTORY
00:11:38.56\00:11:39.66
COMES BACK. >>DR. KNIGHT:
NOW, THEY HAD BEEN USED TO
00:11:39.66\00:11:46.13
RUNNING THE CHURCH AND
NOW THE GENTILES ARE ALSO USED
00:11:46.13\00:11:52.10
TO RUNNING THE CHURCH.
00:11:52.10\00:11:52.60
WHO'S GOING TO OPERATE
THIS BABY? >>BILL: YES.
00:11:52.60\00:11:56.86
>>DR. KNIGHT: SO, PAUL
HAD A VERY PRACTICAL THING TO
00:11:56.86\00:11:58.03
DEAL WITH. THAT IS, HE
HAD A DIVIDED CHURCH. SOME
00:11:58.03\00:12:02.70
SAID WE NEED TO BELIEVE
THIS, SOME SAID WE NEED TO
00:12:02.70\00:12:07.36
BELIEVE THAT, WE NEED
TO KEEP THIS JEWISH HOLIDAY
00:12:07.36\00:12:08.43
OR WE NEED TO STAY AWAY
FROM CEREMONIAL.YOU KNOW,
00:12:08.43\00:12:11.23
DON'T TOUCH THIS TYPE OF
THING. AND SO, YOU'VE GOT
00:12:11.23\00:12:16.43
A DIVIDED CHURCH AND THIS
DIVIDED CHURCH PAUL HAS TO
00:12:16.43\00:12:17.50
SEEK TO UNITE. AND WHEN
WE COME TO THE THEMES OF
00:12:17.50\00:12:25.63
THE BOOK OF ROMANS, IN
A FEW MINUTES, THEN WE CAN
00:12:25.63\00:12:33.76
REALIZE HOW CENTRAL THE
WORD "ALL" IS. WE'RE ALL
00:12:33.76\00:12:34.76
IN THIS TOGETHER, KIND
OF THING. AND PAUL IS GOING
00:12:34.76\00:12:36.86
TO TRY TO UNITE THESE
TWO GROUPS. >>BILL: HOW OLD
00:12:36.86\00:12:41.76
WOULD PAUL BE AT THIS
TIME? >>DR. KNIGHT: OH
00:12:41.76\00:12:42.73
BOY, WE DON'T KNOW BUT
HE WAS PROBABLY A YOUNG MAN.
00:12:42.73\00:12:44.73
EXCUSE ME, NOT NOW, HE
WAS PROBABLY A YOUNG MAN WHEN
00:12:44.73\00:12:52.30
HE WAS CONVERTED. HE
WOULD PROBABLY BE IN HIS
00:12:52.30\00:12:53.33
50'S HE'S A MAN OF
GREAT EXPERIENCE. >>BILL:
00:12:53.33\00:13:01.00
AND HE'S HAD A SUCCESSFUL
CAREER AS A MISSIONARY AND
00:13:01.00\00:13:03.60
HE FEELS BURDENED
THAT HE HAS.THAT'S KIND OF
00:13:03.60\00:13:04.56
AMAZING. YOU WOULD THINK
THAT HE WOULD SAY, LISTEN;
00:13:04.56\00:13:08.66
LET ME LEAVE THAT FOR
SOMEBODY ELSE TO RESOLVE.
00:13:08.66\00:13:15.10
>>DR. KNIGHT: YEAH,
IT'S TIME FOR ME TO RETIRE.
00:13:15.10\00:13:16.06
>>BILL: YEAH, LET ME GO
FIND MY LITTLE PLACE THERE
00:13:16.06\00:13:20.33
IN SPAIN AND RELAX.>>DR.
00:13:20.33\00:13:20.80
KNIGHT: IN THE SUN.
00:13:20.80\00:13:23.60
>>BILL.YEAH, LET
SOMEBODY ELSE WORRY ABOUT THIS
00:13:23.60\00:13:24.60
THAT'S INCREDIBLE TO ME
THAT HE FELT, HE FELT THE
00:13:24.60\00:13:30.43
CALLING THAT I'VE GOT
TO DO SOMETHING HERE. THANK
00:13:30.43\00:13:32.00
GOD HE DID. >>DR.
KNIGHT: WHEN THE CALL OF GOD HAS
00:13:32.00\00:13:33.00
BITTEN YOU.>>BILL: YES.
00:13:33.00\00:13:34.60
>>DR. KNIGHT:.THERE'S
NO ESCAPE FROM IT. I MEAN,
00:13:34.60\00:13:35.63
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT RETIREMENT
00:13:35.63\00:13:38.33
MEANS.I'VE BEEN
RETIRED FOR SEVERAL YEARS BUT I
00:13:38.33\00:13:46.10
TELL PEOPLE THE ONLY
DIFFERENCE NOW IS THAT MY
00:13:46.10\00:13:47.06
WORK DAY STARTS AT
FOUR INSTEAD OF SIX IN THE
00:13:47.06\00:13:50.83
MORNING AND I GET
PAID HALF AS MUCH. >>BILL:
00:13:50.83\00:13:56.03
MAYBE WE CAN MOVE ON
TO SOME OF THE THEMES HERE
00:13:56.03\00:13:57.06
>>DR. KNIGHT: LET'S
DEAL WITH THE THIRD PURPOSE
00:13:57.06\00:13:59.10
FIRST. >>BILL: OKAY,
SURE, THERE'S THREE.>>DR.
00:13:59.10\00:14:03.16
KNIGHT: THE FIRST
PURPOSE WAS THE PAUL WANTED TO
00:14:03.16\00:14:04.16
CREATE A MISSIONARY BASE.
00:14:04.16\00:14:05.90
THE SECOND PURPOSE
WAS THAT HE HAD TO SOMEHOW
00:14:05.90\00:14:06.86
UNITE THESE PEOPLE,
JEWS AND GENTILES. THE THIRD
00:14:06.86\00:14:10.33
PURPOSE WAS TO MAKE A
THEOLOGICAL STATEMENT.
00:14:10.33\00:14:19.73
BECAUSE IF YOU GO BACK
TO THAT PASSAGE THAT WE
00:14:19.73\00:14:20.73
LOOKED AT IN CHAPTER
15, PAUL SAYS, I'M GOING TO
00:14:20.73\00:14:25.13
COME TO YOU ON MY WAY TO
SPAIN BUT FIRST I HAVE TO
00:14:25.13\00:14:32.80
GO TO JERUSALEM TO
TAKE THIS WELFARE OFFERING
00:14:32.80\00:14:33.80
SO THAT THE HOME BASE OF
CHRISTIANITY WILL BE ABLE
00:14:33.80\00:14:40.10
TO SURVIVE IN THIS
VERY DIFFICULT ATMOSPHERE,
00:14:40.10\00:14:44.73
FINANCIALLY IN WHICH
THEY LIVE. SO, PAUL HAD TO GO
00:14:44.73\00:14:45.73
TO JERUSALEM FIRST.
AND THAT TRIP TO JERUSALEM
00:14:45.73\00:14:54.70
CHANGED THE HISTORY OF
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH BECAUSE
00:14:54.70\00:14:58.00
PAUL DIDN'T KNOW IF
HE'D MAKE IT OUT OF JERUSALEM
00:14:58.00\00:14:58.96
AND, OF COURSE, WHEN HE
DID, HE DID GO TO ROME BUT
00:14:58.96\00:15:03.06
HE WENT AS A PRISONER.
BUT PAUL RECOGNIZED THE DANGER
00:15:03.06\00:15:09.40
OF GOING TO JERUSALEM.
BUT THIS ALSO WAS TO UNITE THE
00:15:09.40\00:15:10.50
CHURCHES. A GIFT FROM
THE GENTILES TO HELP THE
00:15:10.50\00:15:16.13
JEWS, JEWISH CHRISTIANS.
00:15:16.13\00:15:16.60
WOW. WONDERFUL.
JEWISH GENTILES, EXCUSE ME,
00:15:16.60\00:15:21.46
GENTILE CHRISTIANS HELPING
JEWISH CHRISTIANS. THIS IS
00:15:21.46\00:15:30.06
ALL PART OF PAUL
TRYING TO BRING THE ROMAN, THE
00:15:30.06\00:15:31.10
CHRISTIAN WORLD TOGETHER.
00:15:31.10\00:15:37.10
BUT, MEANWHILE, PAUL
RECOGNIZES THAT HE MIGHT
00:15:37.10\00:15:38.03
NOT MAKE IT. AND SO
HE WRITES A THEOLOGICAL
00:15:38.03\00:15:44.83
STATEMENT ABOUT HOW MEN
AND WOMEN ARE SAVED. AND
00:15:44.83\00:15:51.93
SO, WE HAVE THE GREATEST
THEOLOGICAL STATEMENT ON
00:15:51.93\00:15:52.90
THE HUMAN NEED AND
GOD'S STATEMENT TO THAT NEED
00:15:52.90\00:16:04.00
IN THE PLAN OF SALVATION
PAUL WROTE THAT, ROUGHLY
00:16:04.00\00:16:09.86
RUNNING FROM VERSES 16
OF CHAPTER ONE UP THROUGH,
00:16:09.86\00:16:11.00
AT LEAST, CHAPTER
ELEVEN, VERSE 32 TO DEMONSTRATE
00:16:11.00\00:16:18.13
THAT THERE'S HOPE FOR
ALL, BOTH JEW AND GENTILE IN
00:16:18.13\00:16:23.60
THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST.
SO IT'S ALSO A THEOLOGICAL
00:16:23.60\00:16:24.60
STATEMENT. WE HAVE
A.IT'S NOT A SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY
00:16:24.60\00:16:30.33
BUT IT'S CERTAINLY
CLOSE TO IT. >>BILL: THAT'S
00:16:30.33\00:16:32.76
WONDERFUL. WOW, THAT'S
INCREDIBLE. I GUESS IT'S
00:16:32.76\00:16:33.73
ONE OF THE FIRST
TIMES THAT THESE IDEAS WERE
00:16:33.73\00:16:42.13
BROUGHT TOGETHER IN THIS
KIND OF A, IN THIS KIND OF
00:16:42.13\00:16:45.23
A FORMAT. >>DR.
KNIGHT: ACTUALLY, YES, IN ONE
00:16:45.23\00:16:46.23
SENSE. THE IDEAS HAD
BEEN THERE. I MEAN, PAUL
00:16:46.23\00:16:52.26
HAD BEEN PREACHING
THEM ALL OVER THE PLACE IN
00:16:52.26\00:16:54.36
EVANGELISTIC SERMONS
AND YOU FIND IT EARLIER IN
00:16:54.36\00:16:55.43
GALATIANS. BUT
GALATIANS WAS WRITTEN ABOUT A
00:16:55.43\00:16:59.16
SPECIFIC PROBLEM AND
ALL THE WAY THROUGH YOU'LL
00:16:59.16\00:17:02.83
FIND LOCAL REFERENCES.
00:17:02.83\00:17:03.33
YOU GO ALL THE WAY FROM
116 TO, ACTUALLY THROUGH
00:17:03.33\00:17:09.86
CHAPTER 12, THERE'S NO
LOCAL REFERENCES. THIS IS
00:17:09.86\00:17:10.96
A UNIVERSAL STATEMENT.
IN MANY WAYS, THOSE CHAPTERS
00:17:10.96\00:17:20.30
ARE ACTUALLY A TRACT
AND WHAT YOU FIND IS THE
00:17:20.30\00:17:27.96
LETTER PART IN THE
FIRST CHAPTER AND THE LAST TWO
00:17:27.96\00:17:28.93
OR THREE CHAPTERS. >>BILL:
INTERESTING. >>DR. KNIGHT:
00:17:28.93\00:17:33.86
ACTUALLY 14, 15, 16 AND
THE FIRST HALF OF CHAPTER
00:17:33.86\00:17:38.10
1 YOU HAVE LOCAL
STUFF. BUT, YOU KNOW, IN
00:17:38.10\00:17:38.93
CORINTHIANS, HE'S
REALLY DEALING WITH CORINTHIAN
00:17:38.93\00:17:42.93
PROBLEMS. IN
GALATIANS HE'S DEALING WITH
00:17:42.93\00:17:44.90
GALATIANS PROBLEMS,
IN EPHESIANS HE'S DEALING
00:17:44.90\00:17:45.86
WITH THE ISSUES THEY'VE
GOT OVER THERE. NOT HERE.
00:17:45.86\00:17:48.66
THIS IS A THEOLOGICAL
STATEMENT. THE CLOSEST
00:17:48.66\00:17:51.90
THING WE HAVE TO THIS
IN SCRIPTURE IS HEBREWS AND
00:17:51.90\00:17:52.86
ALSO JAMES. THEY ARE
VERY GENERAL STATEMENTS TO THE
00:17:52.86\00:17:58.40
CHURCH AT LARGE. SO,
IT'S A TRACT DATE WITH THE A
00:17:58.40\00:18:01.73
LETTER, WITH THE ELEMENTS
OF A LETTER WRITTEN ONTO
00:18:01.73\00:18:02.73
THE BEGINNING AND THE
ENDING, WHICH PROBABLY
00:18:02.73\00:18:08.66
EXPLAINS WHY SOME OF THE
MANUSCRIPTS WHICH WE HAVE
00:18:08.66\00:18:13.00
FROM THE ANCIENT WORLD
DON'T HAVE THE LAST FEW
00:18:13.00\00:18:14.00
CHAPTERS THERE. >>BILL:
OH, I SEE. >>DR. KNIGHT:
00:18:14.00\00:18:17.40
BECAUSE IT WAS
CIRCULATED AS A TRACT BUT ALSO
00:18:17.40\00:18:19.16
CIRCULATED AS A LETTER.
00:18:19.16\00:18:19.70
SO, THE THIRD PURPOSE IS
THAT PAUL WANTS TO MAKE A
00:18:19.70\00:18:25.26
THEOLOGICAL STATEMENT FOR
TWO REASONS, ONE, HE MIGHT
00:18:25.26\00:18:26.33
NOT LIVE LONG
ENOUGH AND TWO, HE WANTS
00:18:26.33\00:18:29.63
TO DEMONSTRATE TO THE
PEOPLE IN ROME THAT HE'S
00:18:29.63\00:18:34.13
ORTHODOX. >>BILL:
OH, OKAY. >>DR. KNIGHT:
00:18:34.13\00:18:35.06
BECAUSE YOU FIND
THROUGHOUT THE LETTER THAT
00:18:35.06\00:18:37.73
SOME OF THE PEOPLE HAD
BEEN COMPLAINING THAT HE
00:18:37.73\00:18:41.10
DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THE
LAW AND THIS KIND OF STUFF
00:18:41.10\00:18:42.23
>>BILL: SO, HE WAS
LABELED AS A BIT OF A LIBERAL.
00:18:42.23\00:18:46.76
>>DR. KNIGHT: OH, YES.
HE WAS LABELED AS A LIBERAL
00:18:46.76\00:18:48.63
SO HE HAS TO SAY I
BELIEVE IN SUCH A WAY THAT
00:18:48.63\00:18:49.70
IT'S BIBLICAL AND
THAT ALL PEOPLE CAN ACCEPT
00:18:49.70\00:18:54.30
IT. >>BILL: WONDERFUL.
00:18:54.30\00:18:54.76
INTERESTING. SO WOULD
IT BE A GOOD TIME NOW TO
00:18:54.76\00:18:58.20
MOVE INTO THESE THEMES?
00:18:58.20\00:18:58.70
>>DR. KNIGHT: I THINK SO.
00:18:58.70\00:19:00.96
>>BILL: OKAY. SO,
WHAT WOULD BE SOME OF THE
00:19:00.96\00:19:01.86
THEMES HERE? >>DR.
KNIGHT: PROBABLY THE FIRST THEME
00:19:01.86\00:19:04.46
WOULD DEFINITELY BE THE
WORD "ALL". >>BILL: ALL.
00:19:04.46\00:19:12.23
>>DR. KNIGHT: ALL.
00:19:12.23\00:19:12.66
IF THERE'S.I MEAN, IT'S A
THREE LETTER WORD, IN CASE
00:19:12.66\00:19:16.10
YOU HAVEN'T GOT IT FIGURED
OUT. LET'S GO TO VERSE 16
00:19:16.10\00:19:17.16
OF CHAPTER 1, "FOR I'M
NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL. IT
00:19:17.16\00:19:21.20
IS THE POWER OF GOD FOR
SALVATION TO EVERYONE WHO
00:19:21.20\00:19:27.86
HAS FAITH. TO THE
JEW FIRST AND ALSO TO THE
00:19:27.86\00:19:28.83
GREEK. FOR IN IT THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IS
00:19:28.83\00:19:35.70
REVEALED THROUGH
FAITH, FOR FAITH. AND IT IS
00:19:35.70\00:19:39.73
WRITTEN THAT HE THROUGH
FAITH IS RIGHTEOUS SHALL
00:19:39.73\00:19:40.73
LIVE". AND THE WHOLE
ARGUMENT.AND WE'LL DEVELOP
00:19:40.73\00:19:45.00
THIS AS WE LOOK AT THE
BOOK ITSELF, BUT THE WHOLE
00:19:45.00\00:19:51.86
ARGUMENT IS THAT ALL
HUMAN BEINGS CAN BE JUSTIFIED
00:19:51.86\00:19:52.93
BY FAITH. >>BILL: RIGHT.
00:19:52.93\00:19:58.26
>>DR. KNIGHT: IT DOESN'T
MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE, BILL,
00:19:58.26\00:19:59.30
IF YOU'RE A JEW OR A
GREEK AND THAT'S THE WHOLE
00:19:59.30\00:20:01.40
WORLD. EITHER YOU'RE A
JEW OR A NON-JEW. >>BILL:
00:20:01.40\00:20:05.43
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT: AND
THAT THEME IS PICKED UP IN
00:20:05.43\00:20:06.46
MANY PLACES. PROBABLY
THE MOST IMPORTANT PLACE IT'S
00:20:06.46\00:20:11.03
PICKED UP IS AT THE END
OF CHAPTERS NINE THROUGH
00:20:11.03\00:20:13.26
ELEVEN. PAUL HAS
THREE CHAPTERS ON, ACTUALLY,
00:20:13.26\00:20:14.23
PREDESTINATION. GOD
PREDESTINED THE JEWS TO BE
00:20:14.23\00:20:19.70
HIS PEOPLE. THEN HOW DID
THE GENTILES GET IN? WELL,
00:20:19.70\00:20:25.10
GOD CHOSE THEM TOO. AND
SO WHEN YOU COME DOWN TO THE
00:20:25.10\00:20:26.16
END OF THOSE THREE
MIGHTY CHAPTERS ON HOW COME THE
00:20:26.16\00:20:31.63
JEWS WERE CHOSEN AND
HOW THIS FITS IN WITH GOD'S
00:20:31.63\00:20:36.96
PLAN FOR THE GENTILES,
YOU COME DOWN HERE TO CHAPTER
00:20:36.96\00:20:38.03
11, VERSE 32, "FOR GOD
HAS CONSIGNED ALL MEN FOR
00:20:38.03\00:20:42.53
DISOBEDIENCE THAT HE
MIGHT HAVE MERCY UPON ALL". I
00:20:42.53\00:20:48.53
REALLY BELIEVE, BILL,
IF THERE WAS A THEME THAT
00:20:48.53\00:20:49.50
RUNS THROUGHOUT THIS
ENTIRE BOOK IT WOULD BE
00:20:49.50\00:20:56.63
MERCY FOR ALL. MERCY
FOR ALL. THAT'S PROBABLY THE
00:20:56.63\00:21:03.66
DOMINATING THEME OF
THE BOOK. >>BILL: WE HAVE
00:21:03.66\00:21:04.66
ABOUT FOUR MINUTES LEFT.
00:21:04.66\00:21:10.23
>>DR. KNIGHT: OH MY.
00:21:10.23\00:21:10.70
THAT'S ALL. WE BETTER
GET TO SOME MORE THEMES.
00:21:10.70\00:21:14.36
>>BILL: ABSOLUTELY. >>DR.
00:21:14.36\00:21:14.90
KNIGHT: WE'RE GOING TO
COVER THESE IN THE BOOK
00:21:14.90\00:21:19.00
BUT A SECOND ONE IS
SIN. >>BILL: OKAY. >>DR.
00:21:19.00\00:21:19.93
KNIGHT: THE PROBLEM IS,
ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN
00:21:19.93\00:21:22.93
SHORT OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
OF GOD. THAT'S TWO WHOLE
00:21:22.93\00:21:25.20
CHAPTERS. MIDDLE OF
CHAPTER ONE TO THE MIDDLE
00:21:25.20\00:21:26.16
OF CHAPTER THREE. ALL
HAVE SINNED, THEREFORE ALL HAVE
00:21:26.16\00:21:30.20
TO BE SAVED AND JUSTIFIED
BY FAITH. AND SO, WE FIND
00:21:30.20\00:21:37.30
SEVERAL THEMES HERE,
ONE OF THEM IS THE LAW. MOST
00:21:37.30\00:21:38.26
PEOPLE DON'T THINK
THAT LAW IS A THEME IN THE
00:21:38.26\00:21:42.96
BOOK OF ROMANS. NO, NO,
NO. IT'S THE LAW THAT SAYS
00:21:42.96\00:21:47.33
YOU'RE A SINNER. IT
DOESN'T HELP YOU GET SAVED
00:21:47.33\00:21:48.33
BUT CAN IDENTIFY SIN.
THE LAW TO PAUL IS SPIRITUAL
00:21:48.33\00:21:53.23
AND GOOD IF IT'S PUT TO
A GOOD USE. >>BILL: GOOD
00:21:53.23\00:21:59.03
USE, RIGHT. >>DR.
KNIGHT: BUT IF YOU TRY TO GET
00:21:59.03\00:22:00.10
TO HEAVEN BY IT, YOU'RE
A DEAD MAN. >>BILL: THAT'S
00:22:00.10\00:22:01.83
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT:
OTHER WORDS, THEY'RE CENTRAL,
00:22:01.83\00:22:05.76
ARE FAITH, JUSTIFICATION
BY FAITH. JUSTIFICATION
00:22:05.76\00:22:06.76
THAT IS TO BE COUNTED
RIGHTEOUS. THIS BECOMES A
00:22:06.76\00:22:14.36
MAJOR THEME. PAUL DEVOTES
THREE CHAPTERS BUT PEOPLE
00:22:14.36\00:22:19.90
DO NOT THINK OF OBEDIENCE
AS A THEME. THEY THINK OF
00:22:19.90\00:22:20.93
JUSTIFICATION BUT I
WANT YOU TO READ VERSE 5 OF
00:22:20.93\00:22:28.90
CHAPTER 1, "THROUGH WHOM
WE HAVE RECEIVED GRACE AND
00:22:28.90\00:22:33.86
APOSTLESHIP TO BRING
ABOUT THE OBEDIENCE OF FAITH"
00:22:33.86\00:22:34.93
NOW, YOU GO TO THE END OF
THE BOOK AND THEY HAVE THE
00:22:34.93\00:22:40.50
OBEDIENCE OF FAITH. THIS
IS NOT JUST OBEYING TO GET
00:22:40.50\00:22:48.00
SAVED BUT OBEYING
BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED
00:22:48.00\00:22:48.96
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:22:48.96\00:22:55.83
KNIGHT: OBEYING IN
A FAITH RELATIONSHIP.
00:22:57.40\00:22:58.30
THE OBEDIENCE OF
FAITH PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK
00:22:58.30\00:23:01.30
FOR THE ENTIRE BOOK.
AND IF THREE CHAPTERS ARE
00:23:01.30\00:23:04.30
DEDICATED TO JUSTIFICATION, SIX
00:23:04.30\00:23:05.03
CHAPTERS ARE DEDICATED
TO OBEDIENCE. >>BILL: WOW.
00:23:05.03\00:23:07.80
>>DR. KNIGHT: PEOPLE SEEM
TO MISS THAT. >>BILL: YES,
00:23:07.80\00:23:10.60
YES. >>DR. KNIGHT:
BUT PAUL NEVER SEPARATES
00:23:10.60\00:23:11.50
THAT. OH, HE DOES FOR
THE PURPOSE OF DISCUSSION BUT
00:23:11.50\00:23:13.90
IN YOUR LIFE. ONCE
YOU'RE SAVED, YOU WILL WALK WITH
00:23:13.90\00:23:19.00
JESUS. >>BILL: SO
THERE WILL BE AN EXTERNAL
00:23:19.00\00:23:19.96
MANIFESTATION. >>DR.
00:23:19.96\00:23:22.53
KNIGHT: THAT'S RIGHT.
00:23:22.53\00:23:23.03
>>BILL: OF WHAT'S
HAPPENED ON THE INSIDE. >>DR.
00:23:23.03\00:23:24.90
KNIGHT: THAT'S RIGHT.
00:23:24.90\00:23:25.40
THAT'S HOW COME HE CAN
ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT THE
00:23:25.40\00:23:27.46
LAW AND JUDGMENT OVER
HERE IN CHAPTER 2, VERSE 13,
00:23:27.46\00:23:28.53
"FOR IT IS NOT THE
HEARERS OF THE LAW WHO ARE
00:23:28.53\00:23:34.03
RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD
BUT THE DOERS OF THE LAW WHO
00:23:34.03\00:23:36.96
WILL BE JUSTIFIED".
THAT'S IN THE JUDGMENT. NO DOERS
00:23:36.96\00:23:38.03
OF THE LAW ARE JUSTIFIED
FROM THEIR SINS BUT AT THE
00:23:38.03\00:23:43.96
END OF TIME WHEN GOD
LOOKS BACK AND HE SAYS, WOW, YOU
00:23:43.96\00:23:50.30
NOT ONLY CLAIMED TO
BELIEVE BUT YOUR LIFE
00:23:50.30\00:23:51.36
DEMONSTRATES YOU HAVE
FAITH. YOU HAVE WALKED
00:23:51.36\00:23:53.33
THE WALK OF FAITH, THE
OBEDIENCE OF FAITH. AND
00:23:53.33\00:23:58.53
SO, PAUL INCLUDES
THE JUDGMENT OF GOD IN
00:23:58.53\00:23:59.40
THIS BOOK ALSO. IT'S
A TREMENDOUS BOOK WITH
00:23:59.40\00:24:01.33
ALL THE GREAT THEMES OF
SALVATION, BILL. >>BILL:
00:24:01.33\00:24:06.40
