*Tape #8122*
*Pastor Chuck Smith*
In the third chapter, the twenty-third verse, Paul declares that all of us have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
The whole world is guilty before God.
The whole world is hopelessly lost in sin.
Because the law cannot make a man righteous.
Nor can rituals make a man righteous.
I can not be made righteous by good works.
And so having placed the whole world guilty before God, in verse twenty-four of chapter three, he introduces the answer that God has for man’s sin and that is this justification through faith.
And he shows how that justification by faith is something that is not new.
It goes back to Abraham.
That he was justified before the law was ever given by faith.
And he was justified apart from the ordinances.
So coming to chapter five, he said, /Therefore, having been justified by faith, /Having laid out that this is God's plan.
This is God's provision whereby He can accept you.
Whereby He can declare that you are righteous by your faith in Jesus Christ and the fact that He bore your sins.
He died in your place.
So the righteous demands of the law have been fulfilled for you by Jesus.
Thus as we believe in Jesus Christ, God can account our faith for righteousness.
Therefore, having been justified by faith, first of all /we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, /At one time we were at war against God, against the laws of God.
We were rebels, rebelling against God's laws.
Feeling that they were too restrictive.
Mistaken in our concept of the law, we thought that God was seeking to hinder us from a full, rich life, when in reality, the purpose was to bring us to a full, rich life.
But Satan had deceived and blinded our eyes.
Sin looked attractive.
It looked exciting, but the consequences of sin was something that we didn’t see.
How that it was like a cancer, slowly eating and destroying until finally there was no cure.
So showing to us how that we are no longer rebelling.
Our eyes were open.
We see the law of God now and it’s good for us.
I consent to the law.
It is good, but still the inability to keep the law; therefore, God provided for me.
A righteousness apart from the law.
A righteousness through faith in Jesus.
But by believing in Him, I am no longer fighting against God.
How glorious it is to have peace with God! Jesus said come unto me all you that labor and are heavy laden.
I will give you rest.
Or I will give you peace.
And you know when a person accepts Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior, suddenly you realize that the war is over.
I’m no longer fighting against God.
There is such peace!
There is such rest.
You go home and you lie there on your pillow.
You look up and say, hey God, I’m on Your side now.
Not fighting against You anymore.
And you just feel that warmth and that glow of knowing that there is no more war.
There’s no more rebellion.
I’ve surrendered.
And now I belong to Him.
And the glorious peace because I’m no longer at enmity with God.
But then not only does justification by faith bring me peace with God but it also gives me access.
/2//through whom also we have access by faith /(In Jesus Christ.
Now I become the recipient of God's blessing.
God has loved us.
He has always loved us even when we were in sin.
He sent His Son to die, not for the righteous, but for the ungodly.
God desired to provide for us a way back.
A way back for the fellowship with God into oneness with God.
God created man for that purpose.
That man might live in fellowship with God.
When He created Adam and Eve and placed them in the garden and gave them all of the beauty and the glory of the Garden of Eden, He said it’s all yours to enjoy.
Of all the trees you may eat freely except the one tree.
In order that man might be proved if his love for God was genuine.
That man might not be just a robot responding because there is nothing else.
And that one man Adam ate of that tree that God said he shouldn’t.
And by him, sin entered the world and death by sin, so that death passed on us all because we all sinned.
But God still loved man.
God still wanted fellowship and longed for that fellowship that had been lost.
When Adam ate of that fruit, he went from the kingdom of God into the kingdom of Satan.
Whom so ever you yield yourself servant to obey, his servants you become.
We’ll find that in our next lesson, chapter six.
And yielding himself to the suggestion of Satan, he became a servant of Satan.
Alienated now from God.
The fellowship with God was broken.
But he found out that when he went through that door from the kingdom of God into the kingdom of darkness, it was a one way door, there was no way back!
There were no works that he could do that would restore him back into fellowship with God.
It was one way out and no way back in.
And so God desiring that fellowship still, provided through Jesus Christ, the way back in.
In order that we might have fellowship with God and in order that God might do for us the things He longs to do because of His love.
So that I now have access to this glorious grace of God.
That is the blessings and the goodness that God bestows upon me though I am undeserving and unworthy of it.
I don’t have to try to be good enough to receive the blessings of God.
I never could be.
But God loves me even in my weakened state.
And He blesses me with His grace and with His love and with His goodness.
So I have access by faith /into this grace in which we stand, /(By God's grace I am what I am.
My standing is in the grace of God tonight.
I don’t stand before God in my own righteousness.
I don’t try to.
I stand before God in that righteousness that God has imparted to me in my faith in Jesus Christ.
Through the grace of God I have this standing before Him.) /and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. /As God reveals His glory.
As God reveals His love.
As God pours out upon me His blessings, I glory!
I rejoice!
I give thanks!
I praise God!
As we mentioned this morning, the truest form of praise is that which rises spontaneously from my heart in response to God's grace towards me.
It is not true praise, that is seeking to praise God in order to receive a blessing.
