  1. Now a righteousness has been revealed that is apart from the

  2. law. There is no difference, for we

  3. have all sinned. That picture, friends, is called

  4. her Marsha. That means we have all missed

  5. the target every one of us has missed.

  6. There is no difference. Those people with the errors,

  7. could you stand, please, with your error?

  8. Who who do you think's got more chance of hitting the bullseye?

  9. You're me. It's got to be me.

  10. You know that the word for sin is falling short of the market.

  11. What we do is we do camps, teaching children that they we

  12. stand in close and they shoot the arrow from close by and they

  13. hit the bullseye and the further and further away they go from

  14. God, the harder it is to hit the bullseye.

  15. And I thought, that is unbelievable.

  16. What an incredible lesson to teach children.

  17. And I woke up at 2:00 in the morning, I thought, but that's

  18. not biblical. That's not right.

  19. That's not what the Bible says. That's not what Galatians is

  20. about. Galatians says you and you and

  21. you and you and you have fallen short, exactly the same as me.

  22. Here We have fallen short. Every one of us has fallen short

  23. and God, in the name of Jesus, comes and takes your arrow,

  24. takes your arrow, takes your arrow, takes your arrow.

  25. And he sticks it in the bullseye and he says this.

  26. Receive credited righteousness. Receive credited righteousness.

  27. Receive credited righteousness. We can't start in the spirit and

  28. end up with works and say you keep falling short, buddy, you

  29. keep falling short. When you fall short, just

  30. remember this. Jesus can pick you up, and he

  31. can put you back in the bull's eye like this.

  32. But I wish everyone of you had an arrow in your hand, and you

  33. realize somewhere you seated, that you've got no chance in

  34. your natural strength of even getting close to this target,

  35. that Jesus Christ will pick up this arrow.

  36. You'll put it in the target, which is ace, actually his

  37. heart, and look back at you and justify you.

  38. Justify. Declare you righteous.

  39. Declare you righteous.
