Amazing Grace
Throughout the past couple of weeks we have seen that God demonstrated His presence through nature so that men are without excuse.
Then we saw that because of man’s persistent wickedness God poured out His wrath on any and all wickedness of men.
Now the part that we are seeing today—“God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another . .
.”
The we saw God will judge all of mankind—without showing favoritism.
Judgment will even come to those who are under the law.
And we learn that the Law of God never was able to save anyone!
Finally, last week we learned that there is no one righteous, not even one!
But now there is a new way to be placed into a right relationship with God—Justification.
God says that the only way for mankind to be justified—placed into a right relationship with God—is through FAITH.
So then the logical question some may ask is how then were the Old Testament saints (like Abraham) justified?
Romans 4:1-
Justified by Faith
According to our passage today their belief in action was credited to Abraham as righteousness.
Here Paul quotes .
“Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.”
Romans 4:
Faith in God
How does faith work?
Wages
Paul tells us that mankind is not justified by works, because if works justified us we would have something to boast about.
Faith
Blessed are those whose sins are forgiven, because the Lord will never count the sins against him.
So here’s the truth—what Abraham did was not able to save him—it was the fact that his actions demonstrated his faith.
God said “Go.”
And Abraham went!
Romans 4:9-12
Nothing to do with circumcision
Nothing to do with with the Law
Romans 4:16-
It’s all about Faith!
Romans 4:18-25
Faith in Jesus
Here’s the key—Jesus paid it all!
His righteousness is credited to us, and to the Saints of the Old Testament.
Because Jesus conquered death, we can be placed into a right relationship with God—justified.
We are now seen as if we never sinned.
