(Paul paints a broad pic of the gospel)
Strong desire to impart a gift & receive a gift
And then, the conversation took a turn..
There are consequences to unbelief.
God is impartial. All people (Jews & Gentiles) are held accountable.
Religious activity & obedience are not enough to save.
Because of sin, we are all lawbreakers found guilty in God’s court.
Paul has everyone backed into a corner at this point. It is now that he points us toward the open door of salvation.
Justin vs. Jesse - Coach Greg Wright
Justin = man, Jesse = sin, & Coach Wright = Jesus. (We get to choose if we want help or not.)
When we declare surrender and give Jesus our life, what happens?
1. Righteousness (21-23)
1. Righteousness (21-23)
Only comes when we put our faith in Jesus. (Complete dependency)
says that is drips forth from Heaven. Sinless perfection from now to eternity.
Faith gives righteousness which gives us a right standing with God. Revealed from faith to faith.
Not a new righteousness but one written of in the OT. After we give God our emotions & intellect.
It’s for everyone who has sinned and fallen short of His glory.
2. Justification (24)
2. Justification (24)
To declare the rightness of something or someone. God declares that all the demands of His law are fulfilled on behalf of our faith in Jesus because of His righteousness. God sees our sin and justifies us by giving us righteousness.
I didn’t feel married until the preacher declared Tricia to be my wife. “It’s real now”.
3. Redemption (24)
3. Redemption (24)
The mans of paying a price.
Paying a ransom to free a prisoner from his captor or to free a slave.
In our sinful state, we couldn’t bring ourselves up to the standard.
On the cross, Jesus paid that price & redeemed us from the mess that we caused.
4. Propitiation (25)
4. Propitiation (25)
The basic idea of appeasement or satisfaction.
Pagan religions were required to bring a gift to the gods.
There was no gift that God would accept from man.
The only satisfaction, that could be acceptable to God that could reconcile Him to man had to be made by God.
God in human flesh, Jesus Christ, “gave Himself as a ransom for many”.
The propitiation that satisfied the charges against man was paid in the the blood of Jesus spilled on the cross.
26-31 tells us that God did this to demonstrate His righteous kindness to prove that He is Lord to all.
We give Him our faith.
He transforms our sinful nature into perfection, declares that we are not guilty, bought our innocence by dying for us, and satisfies that charges brought against us forever. We are set free!
Therefore, those who are saved by His name cannot boast in themselves because we did nothing. Instead we boast in in God! “Not to us...”
What else do we need God to do from here?
Anything else just proves the original point of Him saving you. He loves you.
