New passions, new affections, produce new conduct.

And if you try to turn it around, you don't have Christianity anymore.

I'm a Christian hedonist for theological reasons.

I am after people's affections, their hearts, their emotions, their feelings,

because all of our behaviors come from this.

There may be a few behaviors that you do by dint of willpower against your passions.

Very few.

99% of what you do is out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks and the arms move and you live.

Therefore, the number one issue in life is having new passions as obedient children.

That's what we want to be, children of God as obedient children.

We should not be formed, they'll be conformed to this world, be transformed.

We should not be formed, conformed to passions that were rooted in ignorance.

So we're spending five hours together trying to banish ignorance, increase knowledge, awaken passions,

new conduct, banish overseas and give glory to God.

That's first feeder.

Just said, we can all go home now.

Now, what's the summary?

Hope totally replacing all the passions that drive you into sin.

According to ignorance, new passions, new hopes, new joy, inexpressible, overflowing, full of glory,

producing holy in all your conduct.

Since it is written, you should be holy for I am holy.

God does not come to you and say, okay, holy is what I want from you.
