00:00:03.400 | New passions, new affections produce new conduct.
00:00:15.680 | And if you try to turn it around,
00:00:17.720 | you don't have Christianity anymore.
00:00:22.480 | I'm a Christian hedonist for theological reasons.
00:00:27.320 | I am after people's affections, their hearts, their emotions,
00:00:33.600 | their feelings, because all of our behaviors come from this.
00:00:38.640 | There may be a few behaviors that you
00:00:41.280 | do by dint of willpower against your passions, very few.
00:00:48.400 | 99% of what you do is out of the abundance of the heart,
00:00:55.680 | the mouth speaks, and the arms move, and you live.
00:01:02.400 | Therefore, the number one issue in life
00:01:06.600 | is having new passions.
00:01:09.720 | As obedient children, that's what we want to be,
00:01:13.920 | children of God, as obedient children,
00:01:17.240 | we should not be formed.
00:01:19.880 | Don't be conformed to this world, be transformed.
00:01:23.400 | We should not be formed, conformed to passions
00:01:28.440 | that were rooted in ignorance.
00:01:32.480 | So we're spending five hours together
00:01:34.560 | trying to banish ignorance, increase knowledge,
00:01:37.760 | awaken passions, new conduct, Vancouver sees,
00:01:42.040 | and gives glory to God.
00:01:43.040 | That's 1 Peter.
00:01:45.320 | Just said it, we can all go home now.
00:01:47.240 | That was the summary.
00:01:49.040 | Hope, totally replacing all the passions that drive you
00:01:54.360 | into sin, according to ignorance, new passions,
00:01:59.160 | new hopes, new joy, inexpressible, overflowing,
00:02:02.240 | full of glory, producing holy in all your conduct.
00:02:11.320 | Since it is written, you should be holy, for I am holy.
00:02:15.360 | God does not come to you and say, OK, holiness
00:02:18.800 | is what I want from you.
00:02:20.680 | All right?
00:02:21.600 | And here's some things that are going to be holy.
00:02:22.840 | You don't sleep with her anymore until you're married.
00:02:25.640 | And you're not going to get drunk on the weekends.
00:02:28.000 | And you're just going to stop stealing.
00:02:29.880 | And you're not going to lie anymore.
00:02:31.920 | OK, let's get about it.
00:02:34.800 | That's just totally not Christianity.
00:02:39.000 | He comes to you and spends 12 verses saying,
00:02:42.520 | do you see the hope that you have?
00:02:46.040 | Do you see the inheritance?
00:02:47.720 | Do you see how it's imperishable and undefiled?
00:02:50.600 | Do you see how God is keeping you for it?
00:02:53.000 | Do you see how he is putting you through fire
00:02:56.720 | in order to make it precious so that you receive glory
00:02:59.800 | and praise and honor?
00:03:00.800 | Do you see that?
00:03:01.960 | Do you have knowledge now?
00:03:04.320 | If you do, you've got some new passions.
00:03:07.880 | And these old ones, these old ones right here,
00:03:11.800 | they're not going to govern you anymore.
00:03:13.640 | And therefore, your conduct will be holy.
00:03:15.440 | Holiness is three steps out.
00:03:17.200 | Knowledge, gird up the loins of your mind, be sober,
00:03:22.120 | see the world as it really is.
00:03:23.880 | See eternity.
00:03:24.880 | See the value of the hope.
00:03:27.320 | Feel new passions.
00:03:29.200 | Do new conduct.
00:03:31.960 | That's Christianity.
