"Father as we focus on you as father and Christ as Lord and the Glorious outflow to to your children and your subjects as grace and mercy and peace would you cause us to taste the sweetness of this Grace the greatness of this Mercy the preciousness of this peace and what it is to have you as our Father and Jesus as our Lord oh make this powerful and real in our lives I pray in Jesus name amen" [00:47:19]

"Paul an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our savior and of Christ Jesus our hope to Timothy my true child in faith grace mercy and peace understand be to you from God the father and Christ Jesus our lord father as we focus on you as father and Christ as Lord and the Glorious outflow to to your children and your subjects as grace and mercy and peace" [00:17:80]

"To experience God as our father and to experience and I'm writing it out taking the time to write it out because we so often just think of these as titles oh yes God is the father God is Jesus is the Lord but we are intended to have an experience of the fatherhood of God and an experience of the lordship of Jesus of Jesus as Lord and those two experiences are mediated to us empowered in US worked in Us by the holy spirit" [00:172:239]

"By the spirit we experience the father that is our hearts cry father that's what it means to become a Christian we see God no longer as a distant indifferent power we see him now as a person who happens to come come to us save us as Savior and become Our Father the spirit himself Bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God the spirit Bears witness with our spirit this is an experience" [00:280:60]

"The heart doesn't cry out Jesus is my Lord I am glad and I rejoice in the lordship of Jesus over my life that you cannot say without the holy spirit so here in the fatherhood of God and the lordship of Jesus is the very essence of what it means to be a Christian Christian it is an experiential reality and that experiential reality of crying out ABA Father and Jesus is Lord is granted by the holy spirit" [00:424:599]

"Father God the father is the ultimate source of all things and the ultimate goal of all things and the Lord Jesus is that person through whom all things come and exist including ourselves now when you see that it reminds you of the way John spoke of Christ and the father or the word and God in the beginning was the word and we're going to read later in verse 14 the word became flesh and dwelt Among Us" [00:546:60]

"Mercy is generally seen as the kindness or goodness of God towards someone who is unfortunate in pain in misery in filthiness in deadness in need of regeneration in need of renewal Grace is the kindness and goodness of God thought of in relationship to someone who is undeserving who's guilty who's criminal who's under a condemnation so that the remedy for sin has to come in two forms" [00:751:40]

"Sin as filth and Brokenness and wound and pain and disease and that's what regeneration and renewal solves and sin as guilt and offense and crime against a just and holy God and that's what justification solves and we know from Romans 51 that the effect of being justified is peace therefore since we have been justified by faith we have peace with God" [00:795:279]

"Whenever Paul says justified by Grace there is not far in the background the sweetness that we're reconciled with God he's now our father and we enjoy a peaceful relationship with him so I think the the richness of mentioning Grace as the source of justification for the guilty and mercy as the source of regeneration and renewal for the defiled and the broken and the diseased and peace as the outworking of both of them" [00:840:00]

"Paul why did you mention these three things I think he would put his hand on his chin as it were and smile and say do you have a half an hour I've already taken too long it is a glorious beautiful sweet precious salutation this is it is worthy of much meditation and it launches us into a beautiful book for his son and friend Timothy" [00:882:04]

"Grace and mercy and peace from the father and the Lord is there a place in this letter or in the Pastoral Epistles which are 1 and second Timothy and Titus very closely related where these are woven together which might indicate how Paul understands them when they come together and I'll just point to this one passage Titus 3 when the goodness and loving kindness of God our savior appeared he saved us not because of Works done by us in righteousness but according to his own Mercy" [00:658:24]

"God sent forth his son born of woman born under the law to redeem those who are under the law so that we might receive adoption as sons and because you are Sons by virtue of this Redemption and adoption you are Sons Here Comes The Experience God has sent the spirit of his son into our hearts crying ABA father so the the meaning of being a Christian is that that our hearts filled with the spirit of the Son of God cry out God is my father I have a father now" [00:323:96]
