0:00.0	1. Peter 5, 5 through 6 says, God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.
0:06.3	Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand that He may lift you up in due time.
0:11.8	2 Chronicles 12.7 says,
0:13.8	When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, this word of the Lord came.
0:19.6	Since they have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them,
0:23.5	but will soon give them deliverance. My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem. In Psalm 1827,
0:30.4	you save the humble, but bring low those eyes who are haughty. In Psalm 259, he guides the humble

1:21.6	Christ, and we embrace Him joyfully because the Spirit has changed our hearts.
1:30.3	And that heart is no longer a heart of stone that is impervious to the commands of God
1:36.3	and to the invitations of the Gospel. But God melts the hardness of our hearts when
1:43.3	He makes us new creatures, but when we're dead,
1:47.0	the Holy Spirit resurrects us from spiritual death, so that I come to Christ because I want
1:56.0	to come to Christ. But the reason I want to come to Christ is that because God has already done
2:03.6	a work of grace in my soul. And without that work, I would never have any desire to come
