 Shalom everyone and praise the Lord. Welcome to our class on Romans. I hope all of you had a good weekend and all of you are ready for another week. We'll begin class. So we were looking at Romans chapter 4. We began looking at it on Friday. We continue with Romans chapter 4. And before we look into Romans chapter 4, can one of you please lead us in prayer please? Anyone? Anyone can lead us in prayer? Father, in heaven we thank you for this wonderful day. We thank you for the gift of life that you have given to us. It's not because of our power or mightiness but because of your love. So Lord, as you said last lesson today, please Lord, let us remind us everything. The Bible says in James 1, 5, verse 11, Lord, please lead us with them so that we can do reminder of everything. That's your great teacher. So Lord, also bless our teacher. Please lead her as a blessing so that she can communicate what you want in her spirit. I also pray for our dear students who are ready in class and they go on to prayer. So I also pray for the matriarch who will lead us in the name of the Father. Amen. Thank you, Lubega. So we began looking at chapter 4. We began studying chapter 4 on Friday. And we said chapter 4 can be divided into two main sections. One where Paul establishes that this faith that came before the law and the covenants. And he mentions Abraham because for every Jew Abraham is a patriarch, he's the forerunner, he's their father. So he says that Abraham had faith and he received righteousness by faith. And he says this happened even before the law and the circumcision. And he says a circumcision was given after Abraham was justified by faith. So both circumcision and the law Paul says came after faith. So what he's saying is that faith did not show up after Jesus, but faith was there way back with Abraham, even before circumcision, even before the law. And so he's really trying to get their attention to that place. The other part of chapter 4, his Paul is giving us insight into Abraham's faith. What he's saying is that faith is what both Jews and Gentiles are going to walk in. Whether you are a Jew or a Gentile, you're going to walk in the faith of Abraham, which means you're going to be justified by faith, not by keeping the law, not by any rituals, not by circumcision. And he talks about Abraham's faith in God. And he says, this is how we, which means whether we are Jews or Gentiles, must have faith in God. So what is the kind of faith that we need to have? He talks about that in the second part of chapter 4. And from faith he transitions to the next part, which is grace. So he's taking his readers, you know, slowly into different aspects of the Christian faith. So we looked at chapter 4, verses 1, 2, verse, I think it was 8. And we were going to look at verses 9 following. So in verses 1 to 8, basically Paul is establishing the fact that, you know, that the law is important. The law is not, you know, faith has come in, but the law is also important. And he says that, you know, Abraham was justified by his faith, or he was made righteous even before the law was given. How was he made righteous or how was he justified? It was because he believed, because he trusted. So when he believed in God, he trusted in God, he stepped out in faith. You know, it says, and he quotes, Paul quotes from Genesis chapter 15 verse 6. He says Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness, which means that when he believed God, you know, God's righteousness was so, so to say was put into his account or God's righteousness was imputed or he was covered with God's righteousness or God's righteousness was deposited to him or credited to him or accounted for him. So Abraham received righteousness by believing in God. And we also saw that, you know, and this righteousness that he received is by faith. And so all those who believe in faith, believe God in faith will also receive righteousness. Okay. And then he goes on to talk about the other patriarch was David. You know, he talks about how David was blessed. He was considered as a blessed man, even though he had sinned against God. Why? Because God imputed his righteousness apart from works, which means that, you know, God declared him righteous and brought him to that place of blessedness because he was a man who depended of his sins. And, you know, blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven. And then he goes on to talks about, you know, now since we've received righteousness by faith, apart from keeping the law, he says that even righteousness was given to us by faith, even before circumcision, which means he goes back to talking about Abraham, because Abraham was the patriarch. You know, he says that, you know, Abraham was not only justified by faith apart from the law, but also, you know, he was justified by faith even before the circumcision was, the ritual was given to him, which means that it was not the law, it was not the sign of the covenant with circumcision, which made Abraham righteous, but it was by faith, okay? So in verses 9 to 12, we see Paul writing about righteousness given by faith even before circumcision. So can someone please read verses 9 to 12, please? This blessedness then come upon the unproclaimed also. How we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness. How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised or unproclaimed? Not while circumcised, but while unproclaimed. And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of righteousness of faith, which he had while still unproclaimed. That he might be a father of all your father. I'm sorry, somebody is disturbing on my phone. That he might be a father of all who believe those they are unproclaimed. That's why he has not might be imputed to them also. And the father of circumcision to those who not only are unproclaimed, but who also work in simple faith to reach our father Abraham had while still unproclaimed. Amen. Thank you, Rebecca. So it's amazing how Paul is revealing the mind of God. You know that faith is for both the Jews and the Gentiles. So having established from the Old Testament example of righteousness being given based on faith, or you know righteousness being received by simply believing, Paul then addresses this question of circumcision. Was this righteousness given because of circumcision? Because he knew this would come up in the minds of the Jewish readers or the Jewish believers. So Paul has told us, you know, it's not the law. Law is not the one that has made us righteous by faith. You know, it is not the law by keeping the law that we have received righteousness, but we have received righteousness based on our faith. That is the example that he gives of Abraham. Now Paul then addresses the question of circumcision. He says, was this righteousness given because of circumcision? And then Paul points out again to Abraham who received righteousness by faith. So he read in Genesis chapter 15 verse 6. He says, before he received the sign of circumcision. So he says that Abraham was made righteous by faith, so he received righteousness by faith. And we see this in Genesis chapter 15 verse 6. He says, he received this even before God gave him the circumcision, the sign of the covenant of the circumcision, which we read in Genesis chapter 17 verse 10. So Abraham was blessed. And he received his blessing. And how did he receive his blessing? Okay, he received his blessing in verse 9. It says that did he receive his blessing when he was circumcised? Or did he receive it when he was uncircumcised? He says that he received his blessing when he was uncircumcised. And later on he received circumcision, which was a seal of righteousness of faith. So God gave him this covenant after God gave him righteousness through faith. So the covenant of circumcision was given to Abraham after he was justified or he was made righteous because of his faith in God. So the reason God gave him is the latter part of verse 11, so that Abraham could be the father of all who believe. So he's basically stretching the thinking of the mind of the Jews or he's stretching the thinking of the Jewish readers and he's saying, the reason why God justified Abraham and made him righteous by faith even before he gave the circumcision, even before he gave the law was because he wanted believers to know that it is not by keeping the law, it's not by circumcision, but it is by faith in Christ Jesus that we will be made justified or we will be made righteous. So it's so beautiful that Paul, the way he knows the mind of the Jewish readers, he knows who Abraham is for them, what he means to them and the way he just so beautifully brings in Old Testament scripture and logically just reasons and discusses with them and also it's so beautiful to see God's plan of salvation. Just imagine if God had given Abraham first the sign of the covenant, then the law, then and made him righteous and where would faith work? Faith would not work for any of us as gentiles, we would have to keep the law, we would have to keep the circumcision but it's so beautiful that even in the very beginning God's whole plan of salvation was that we would be justified, we would be made righteous by faith or through faith in Christ Jesus. So Abraham before he had circumcision, he had faith so Abraham is called a father of all who have faith and so Paul is very smartly here saying he's a father of all who have faith which means he's saying hey Jews, he's not just your father, okay? You hold him in high esteem, you're proud that Abraham is your forefather, he's a patriarch but he's also the father of the gentiles, he's also the father of those who are not from the Jewish race so you just look at how he brings in his words, he says he's a father of all who have faith that means he's saying he's not just the father of all who have faith but he's also someone through whom the blessings will flow God gave the blessings, the covenant to Abraham, so the Abrahamic blessing, the Abrahamic covenant so the blessing is going to flow not only to the Jewish race but also to everyone, even to the gentiles who are going to believe by faith. So beautifully he just brings out all of these concepts in verse 12 Paul is saying it's not the circumcision but you need to walk in the faith of Abraham so yes he's established the fact that righteousness is by faith it's not by keeping the law, it's not by the circumcision ritual that's the sign of the covenant and then he says Abraham is the father of all who have faith and then he says hey, now you don't be very proud of the gentiles that you are also part of the blessing or the covenant blessing or the blessings that God is giving to Abraham but he's saying we all need to walk in the faith of Abraham look at how beautifully he just brings out his own understanding the whole reasoning here having established all of these facts now he's saying that it's not about law, not keeping the law it's not about circumcision, not being circumcised but he says you need to walk by faith walk by faith or you need to walk in the faith of Abraham so he's basically stating two things here he's saying Abraham received righteousness by faith so that he will be the father of everyone who walks in faith even if they are uncircumcised which means the gentiles which he's talking about referring to the gentiles and he says they will also receive righteousness by faith and secondly he's saying Abraham is the father of the circumcised but it's not really of circumcision but you need to walk in the faith of Abraham and that is what brings righteousness so here he's very beautifully talking to both the Jews and the gentiles so he says you receive righteousness by faith that's how Abraham received so it's not by keeping the circumcision ritual so the uncircumcised which means the gentiles they will receive righteousness by faith and then he's also saying secondly he's saying Abraham is the father of the circumcised but it's not really of circumcision but you need to walk in the faith of Abraham and that is what brings righteousness so Paul is saying even if you are uncircumcised you have to walk in the faith of Abraham even if you're a circumcised you have to walk in the faith of Abraham so imagine when a Jew is reading this he will say yes I can't argue with what Paul is saying because he's saying it from scripture he says everything he says that Abraham was made by just by faith before the law and circumcision very true and the gentiles can't say that yes through faith I can be made righteous and I don't need to be circumcised so the gentiles can say that we have been made righteous by faith and we don't need to be circumcised so now Paul moves on to Abraham's faith what was his faith what can we say about Abraham's faith okay so just say it again circumcision was a sign that Abraham already had faith and God had already accepted him and declared him to be righteous even before he was circumcised so Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised and they are counted as righteous because of their faith and then we also see that he received a sign of circumcision a seal or a confirmation of the righteousness which he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised so this was that he could be the spiritual father of all who believe without being circumcised so that righteousness could be credited to them so you can just see how beautifully God's plan of salvation was there from the very beginning and how Paul catches this whole truth it's not that he catches it it's just how the Holy Spirit reveals it to him and how he just so beautifully logically explains it and now when he's explained this now he moves on to talking about what is the kind of faith that Abraham had that we need to walk in that faith so what was his faith like and what can we say about Abraham's faith and this we will look at in verses 13 following so promise based on faith because of grace can somebody please read verses 13 to 16 before we read verses 13 to 16 anyone has any questions okay you want to I don't know if it's a valid question but in verse 11 it says he received the sign of circumcision and the seal of righteousness so why it was not written like a sign of righteousness I feel like there might be any reason between the sign and the seal does it make any sense does it make any difference because we can also say sign of righteousness so why the word seal was used there is there any significance the kind that I just wanted to okay a sign of the covenant of circumcision or the seal basically also means a confirmation so the sign of the covenant of circumcision was us was sealing the fact of the covenant that God is making between Abraham and himself it was a confirmation of the covenant that he is going is making with Abraham and with his children's children the generations to follow so he says he received the sign of circumcision a seal or confirmation of the righteousness which he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised okay so he's saying that while he was still uncircumcised there was all the circumcision of the heart that was happening right that was a seal or a confirmation that he is the main righteous in God's side and that is through faith so he's saying that the circumcision of the heart is what is valid is the what makes you righteous by faith it's not just the act of doing it okay okay any other questions also why is he saying that so that you know he's saying that you know he could be the spiritual father for all those who believe either circumcised or uncircumcised okay so that righteousness could be credited to okay yes Rubina you have your hand up yes I can there is the we all know that Abraham when he was 70 was it 75 years old in the 70s when he left his father's land but we see that Isaac came Isaac came later in his life because I think the circumcision was built about on the eighth day of Isaac it was so that when the time comes eighth day he would be circumcised and all other mail and what and what after the birth of Isaac am I right I don't see I don't remember my old system it's gone away but yes Rebecca so when Isaac was born he was circumcised but even before Isaac was born when God gave Abraham the circumcision ritual the sign of the covenant he and all of his household were circumcised yes so those born after them would follow the same ritual but all of them had to go through that circumcision ritual when God gave them that is a sign of the covenant so it just didn't start with Isaac after he was born but even before that he and everyone in his household went through this circumcision ritual did that help? yes that is something which we read in Genesis chapter 17 okay we'll move on verses 13 to 16 can anyone read Romans chapter 4 verses 13 to 16 Romans chapter 4 verses 13 to 16 Romans chapter 4 verses 13 to 16 Romans chapter 4 verses 13 to 16 for the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law but through the righteousness of faith for if those who are of the law are his faith is made void and the promise made of no effect because the law brings forth wrath about where there is no law in the institution therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace so that the promise might be sure to all the seed not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham who is the father of us all amen so the promise that God gave to Abraham was something he gave at the point of faith and righteousness before circumcision so the promise was through the righteousness of faith and it's not just you know because of the law it's not just who are of the law who received the promise but it's everyone who has faith who will inherit this promise because Abraham was justified by faith so he's saying that it's not those who keep the law or those who keep the circumcision ritual being made justified or will receive the promise but he's saying that everyone who believes in faith will be made righteous would also receive this promise and it's everyone who has faith will inherit this promise so what is this promise you know the promise is God tells Abraham I will bless you and I will make you a blessing to the nations again this promise was given to Abraham and to his descendants and it was given even before the law was given and this promise is not just given to those who are descendants of those who were given the law and those who are given the sign of the covenant and circumcision but it's also to all those who have faith in Jesus Christ will inherit this promise which means he's saying it's not only the Jews who will inherit this blessing this promise that you know where God tells Abraham I will bless you and I will make you a blessing but this blessing is also for everyone including the Gentiles who ever believes Jesus Christ who have faith in Jesus Christ who trust in him and who have faith in him will inherit this promise and so he says hence Abraham is the father of us all and who is he the father of all he's a father of all those who have faith so he's the father of us all the people of faith so Paul is repeating his point that Abraham you know he's the father of all who have faith and all who have faith now receive the promise that God Abraham so and he says this is according to grace so basically what Paul is saying is faith righteousness and grace so you believe in Jesus Christ you have faith in him righteousness is imputed is credited into your account you're cloned with his righteousness because of the grace of God and he says it's given to everyone to both the Jews and to Gentiles now in verse 17 he gets into the faith of Abraham very interesting you know he's he's telling the Jews and the Gentiles now since you've been justified and made righteous by faith you need to walk in the steps of the faith of Abraham so what is the steps of the faith of Abraham or what was Abraham's kind of faith which he talks about in verses 17 to 21 so can someone please read 17 to 21 please anyone can read 17 to 21 can Rosemann or Anita Subashish anyone can please read what's the 17 to 21 is anyone in the class okay you're out it's 17 to 21 is Anita there Georgia can we have some more participation please can somebody read verses 17 to 21 yes go ahead it's chapter 4 verses 17 to 21 it's while as it is written I have made you a father of many nations in the presence of him who he believes God who gives life to the dead things which did not exist as though they did who called for it to hope in the hope to believe so that should be came the father of many nations according to what was spoken so shall you be silent please and not being weak in faith he did not consider his own body already dead just to work about a hundred years old a dead man he did not river at the promise of God to rule and believe but was strengthened in faith giving glory to God and being fully convinced that what he had promised to was also able to perform thank you Lubega this passage is very interesting very interesting passage of scripture verses 17 to 21 it's basically the Holy Spirit summarizing Abraham's life of faith and why do we say it's the Holy Spirit summarizing Abraham's life of faith because it's the Holy Spirit basically inspiring Paul to write all of these things so if you notice in these verses there is no mention of Abraham's struggle or mistake that he makes did you notice that in verses 17 to 21 there's absolutely no mention it's just talking about Abraham's faith but you know there's no mention of Abraham's struggle that he had you know there's all the mistakes that he made did Abraham make any mistakes yes he did right in fact Abraham's life in Genesis in scripture and we just read Romans chapter 4 we would think wow what a man of faith such great faith but you know we know about the faith of Abraham that you know he did have great faith but he also had a faith that was at times wavering that did not completely trust in God but we know that the faith of Abraham when God asked him to leave his father's household he stepped out in faith but he did make mistakes twice he was afraid of his own life remember and to save his own life he said a lie he said a partial lie about his wife he said his wife was his sister so that he can be saved his life can be saved otherwise you know they would kill him and take away his wife because she's very beautiful okay so twice he said a lie though it was a partial lie yet it was a lie for God there's no half life in life and I is a lie no just black and white no shades of grey you know so he did make a mistake okay he was afraid of his own life and we also know from Genesis chapter 15 you know Abraham was tired of waiting for God's promise right God promised him when he was 75 years that he will have a son and you know he tells God that you know you promised me and it's 15 years on this faith journey but you know I'm going to have a son but I don't see any signs there is no sign yet of the son of promise so he's asking God did you mean that I'll have a son through Sarah or through others or anyone else born in my family like my servant my son will become the inheritor of all of that I have and what does God do you know God basically cuts a covenant with Abraham right and we also know that after Genesis chapter 15 Abraham was prompted by Sarah you know Abraham and Sarah waited a long long time and you know he may have thought maybe God meant that I'll have a son with anyone else in my house so he births Ishmael through Haggard and that was a mistake that he made okay so from scripture we see that Abraham's life of faith was not perfect right but now when the Holy Spirit is looking back at Abraham's life when he's talking about Abraham's life he's not mentioning anything about his failures he's not mentioning about his weaknesses he's not mentioning anything about his low days and this is a powerful lesson you know it's a powerful lesson that we can learn you know in our walk of faith we may have ups and downs but God wants us to keep going and ultimately you know we journey into that place of perfect faith okay amen you know we go through our journeys to be black faith we waver in our faith we give up our faith we lose our trust in God we sometimes do what we think is right and you know we have all of these ups and downs and you know but God yet God wants us to keep he wants us to keep going and he knows that ultimately he's going to bring us to a place of perfect faith what happened in Abraham's life okay so did Abraham reach a life of perfect faith what do you think yes no at least type it out in the chat section we're saying that you know in spite of all the ups and downs God you know keeps us going he kept Abraham going until we journey into that place of perfect faith so I'm asking the question did Abraham journey into that place of perfect faith Jebina says I believe yes anyone else did Abraham journey into that place of perfect faith no answers okay yes Hanita thank you so when did he journey into that perfect place of perfect faith maybe after maybe after maybe after maybe after maybe after a long time maybe after a long time when did he journey into that place of perfect faith in Genesis chapter 22 you know when God tells Abraham to offer his only son Isaac and what happens yeah Rosalind thank you he offers when God tells him to offer his only son Isaac now did he turn around and say God did you get this wrong did I hear this wrong you know is this what you want me to do you know God would not you know want human sacrifice and that this is the son of promise there's something wrong here but what does Abraham do you know he basically sets out the very next day he takes you know his son he takes a firewood he takes the fire and you know he goes to the place that God shows him and he's ready to also offer up his son as a sacrifice so we see that when God told him to offer Isaac he listens he obeys not worried not an ounce of doubt no questions asked and he just goes to offer him as a sacrifice why because he was convinced that even if he offered Isaac God would raise him up he came to that place of perfect faith look at what Hebrews 11 19 says can somebody read that please for us Hebrews chapter 11 was 19 anyone can you please read that quickly Hebrews chapter 11 was 19 it was chapter 11 verse 19 I'm concluding that God was able to raise him up even from the dead from which he also received him in actually the received thanks amen thank you so here it says in Hebrews chapter 11 verse 19 he received him as though he raised him up from the dead so you know actually as far as Abraham and God were concerned it was though a resurrection had taken place even before the sacrifice was made so from the dead from which he also received him so as far as Abraham was concerned you know Isaac was as good as dead and it was from the dead that he received him back because you know just going to sacrifice his son for him in his mind it was you know as though you know Isaac was good as dead right he's already going to sacrifice his son in his mind he's already done it you know from the dead and that he received him back in a manner that you know prefigured the resurrection of Jesus Christ okay now for Abraham to come to that place where he was fully persuaded that God would fulfill his promise it did not happen overnight right it was not a smooth journey but he got to that place where he was fully persuaded that what God had promised for his life you know God will perform it so the Holy Spirit through the Apostle Paul is looking at that and highlighting that for us and showing us how we need to come to that place of perfect faith okay of matured faith look at what James chapter 2 was 22 says can somebody read that please James chapter 2 was 22 James chapter 2 was 22 James chapter 2 was 22 do you see that faith was working together with his works and by works faith was made perfect amen so it says through Abraham's work his faith was made perfect and the actual word here is mature okay to be matured in our faith perfect means the actual word is matured so how do we come to this place of matured faith we see this in verses 17 to 21 so you know Paul is saying we have to walk in the steps of the faith of Abraham and with 17 he is quoting the promise I have made you a father of many nations and God put it in the heart of Abraham and God decided that he would do this in the life of Abraham that he was going to make him the father of many nations and it's a done thing in the heart and mind of God and Abraham is hearing this promise from God so for God when he is telling Abraham that you know I have made you the father of many nations and God puts this promise in the heart of Abraham and God decided that he would do this in the life of Abraham that he was you know already has made him the father of many nations which means in the mind of God it was already a done completed thing even before it was in reality it happened in reality it happened in the life of Abraham it was also a done completed thing in the heart and mind of God so Abraham is hearing this promise and God so who is this God now this is the God who gives life to the dead and calls things which are not as though which do not exist as though they did okay so who is this God this God is the one who gives life to the dead and calls things which do not exist as though they did so two things about God that we can learn from here is God gives life to the dead so things that look dead God can resurrect he can revive and he gives life you know we look at Hebrews chapter 11 verse 12 can somebody read that please we Hebrews chapter 11 verse 12 Hebrews chapter 11 verse 12 Hebrews chapter 11 verse 12 therefore from one they are born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude innumerable as the sand which is by the sushi amen now see how beautiful the language is he says from one man who is good as dead from such a man came generations so many as many as the stars in the sky and the sand in the sea show so saying for one man who is good as dead comes a nation that is innumerable so this is telling us something about God and how he works in our lives things in our life situations in our life can be as good as dead God releases something huge something big something unimaginable and that is what he did in Abraham's life and how did Abraham position himself to see that this is what Paul goes on to explain in the upcoming verses when God speaks his promise to our hearts there are two things that we can learn when he spoke the promises in Abraham's life there are two things that we can look at it when God speaks promises to our hearts there are two things that we can keep in mind that he is inviting us to believe in him who is the one who gives life to the dead Amen he is inviting us to believe in him who is the one who gives life to the dead so our situation can look hopeless helpless but it's not a problem to God and this is something that we need to keep in mind when God gives us this promise and God calls things that do not exist as though they did it's not there but God says it is there when we say that God calls things that do not exist as though they did it's not there we don't see it but God says it is there we can tell God that we still haven't become but God says I have made you just like tells Abraham Abraham would say God I have not become a father of even one son and you are telling me that I am a father of many nations but look at what he says in verse 17 he says I have made you right so Abraham can say God I have not become but when God has made the promise and God is telling that he is speaking his promises in our lives and he is inviting us to believe in him he is actually telling us that you don't see it you have not become a father of even one son before you become the father of nations and he is saying I have made you so we can for example we can look at ourselves and say God I am weak but God can say I have made you strong he is calling what does not exist as though they did we can look at ourselves and say God I am not a conqueror but God says I have made you more than a conqueror you can look at God and say God that I am incapable of doing this I am not worthy but God looks at us and says I have made you capable I have made you worthy so we can say that God I have not yet become that but God says I have made you and so God is telling Abraham I have made you a father of many nations but Abraham did not even have one child and he was not even a father but God says I have made you a father okay so one of the things we can learn from Abraham's life in Genesis chapter 17 as we see God telling Abraham I want you to start calling yourself what I have made you from today onwards your name is changed from Abraham to Abraham and your wife's name is changed from Sarai to Sarah so start calling yourself what I have made you okay so you know even as God has given us promises in our lives we can start declaring over our lives what God has declared over us what God has promised to us or what God has made us in the spiritual realm this is already done it's a completed thing you know what God has called and planned for you but you know you need to start declaring it before your life and when you start speaking this promise in your life what he is calling into existence that does not exist he says this is what I have made you it's not there but it will be there and so when we join in faith with God like how Abraham journeyed into all that God had for him you know he journeyed into what God had made him to be a father of many so we stop here and just leave you with this powerful truth that just speak and declare what God is declaring over your life and even as you look at things that are you know God has spoken of your life and you see dead hopeless you know as nothing you know God can bring into existence what is not you know he can he calls out things what does not exist as though they did and when you look at yourself and you say God I'm not this God looks at you and says I have made you this so declare what God has made you okay so we stop here anyone has any questions any questions okay there are no questions we'll end class thank you all for joining class today and have a blessed week I'll see you on Friday thank you everyone
