Justification By Faith Means Peace with God

Justification by Faith Means Peace with God Romans 5:1-2 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to take them in hand and turn with me to Romans, chapter 5. Throughout Romans 1 through 4 Paul has shown that God’s promises are obtained by faith. Beginning in Romans 5:1 he draws out the consequences of that great truth for the believer. And so today we are coming to a new section in Paul’s argument in the book of Romans. Here in Romans 5, verses 1 and 2. This is God’s word. Let’s hear it reverently and attentively. “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we exalt in hope of the glory of God.” Amen, and thus ends…

Faith, Grace and the Spiritual Seed

Faith, Grace and the Spiritual Seed Romans 4:16-17 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 4. Today, we’re going to try and answer a question, and that question is simple. Why is justification by faith? Why is it that God saves us by trusting in Jesus Christ as He has set forth has set forth in the gospel message, and all its glory, and the Christmas message, and the Easter message and the message of Christ’s birth and death on our behalf that we might be received into glory? Why is it that God uses faith and not something else as the instrument whereby we receive that gift that he has granted to us in Jesus Christ? Why is justification by faith? Now perhaps you’ll appreciate somewhat that question a bit more if you’ll review with me for a few…

Faith and the Covenant Sign of Circumcision

Faith and the Covenant Sign of Circumcision Romans 4:9-12 If you have your Bibles I would invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 4. We’ve said a number of times as we have continued to work through the book of Romans that there is no more important question that we could ask and answer than how can a man be right with God? What allows a man to stand before God without fear of condemnation? Paul is giving us an answer to that question as he sets the gospel before our eyes in Romans 3 and 4. In Romans 3, he sets forth that truth of the gospel and focuses on justification and explains what he means by justification by grace through faith. Then in Romans 4 he defends that teaching from the scriptures. That is, from the Old Testament. He shows that this teaching is not some new…

The Implication of Justification

The Implications of Justification Romans 3:27-31 (3) If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you turn with me to Romans, chapter 3. We come today to our last look at Romans 3:21-31, where Paul is setting forth his teaching of justification by grace through faith alone. Paul has made it very clear in Romans, chapters 1, 2, and 3 that God is a righteous God, and that He expects righteousness from His creatures, and that no one, absolutely no one apart from Christ is righteous. Neither Jew nor Greek,…

Faith Alone

Romans 3:27-31 (2) Faith Alone If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 3. We’re going to be looking again at that same section that we’ve been pondering for the last couple of weeks beginning in verse 27. Romans 3:27-31. As we do so, we’re going to concentrate especially on Paul’s statement in verse 28 and two parts of that statement. This sermon is sort of a spill over from what was supposed to be a three-point sermon. So you’re going to get two…

Justification by Grace Through Faith (2)

Romans 3:21-26 (4) Justification by Grace Through Faith If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 3, verse 21. We’ll look at this section of Romans one more time. We’ve been working our way through the whole gospel, and we’ve paused, and we have tarried for three weeks, breaking apart Romans 3:21 through 26 into three parts. And today I’d like to perhaps pull it back together, summarize, focus on especially some of the terms which are unfamiliar to us to…

God, in the Gospel of His Son

Romans 3:21-26 (3) Atonement and Justification If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 3, as we continue to look at this great passage from Romans 3:21-26 in which Paul begins to set forth the good news. Over and over we’ve said in Romans 1 and 2, and the first part of Romans 3 from Romans 1:18 to Romans 3:20, that Paul has been establishing the good news, by explaining the bad news. He has told us that we are all in need, that we all stand condemned, that…

Justification by Grace Through Faith

Romans 3:21-26 (2) Justification by Grace Through Faith If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 3, beginning in verse 21. Just to remind you of a couple of things before we look at this great passage today. We’re going to focus on the very end of verse 22, and then verses 23 and 24. But Paul, for more than two chapters, has been telling us the bad news. We’ve said over and over and Romans 1 makes it clear that the Gentiles are under bondage to the law and…

The Establishment of a Covenant People The Promises of…

Genesis 15:1-21. The Promises of God (The Life of Abraham)[5] – The Cutting of the Covenant If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis 15. One of the great passages in all of the Old Testament. We have so far been walking through the life of Abraham. This is the fifth in a series of the study of this great patriarch which runs from Genesis 12 to 23. We've already said that there's a sense in which Genesis 12, verses 1 through 3, is the very center point…
