[01:02:45]( | | )

2) "We love that he sacrificed for us we just don't want to offer ourselves up as a living sacrifice for him. We are so thankful that he separates us from sin and purifies us from sin but we don't want to walk away from that sin we want to hold on to sin and self instead." [01:03:19]( | | )

3) "Jesus showed us that the only way to solving this sin problem is death we must die.
