there are two ways that a text becomes profoundly life-altering in a human soul one is that there comes a point in your life where the text by the power of the Holy Spirit penetrates into your mind heart soul spirit so deeply that at that moment a change is effected that bears lifelong fruit from that moment on [00:00:00]
a second way that a passage of scripture becomes profoundly life-altering is that there comes a point where it penetrates into your mind into your soul into your heart into your spirit not in such a way that the change is affected decisively there and from then on you're new and different but rather the text lodges itself so profoundly so on altering Li that it becomes a source of never ending ever repeating life altering power when you need it [00:01:54]
Romans 8:32 of all the passages in the Bible that are designed as solid places to stand when everything around you is giving way this is the place I have stood more often than any other he who did not spare his own son but gave him up for us all will he not with him freely give us all things [00:03:00]
Romans 8:32 is the most sweeping the most focused and the most ultimate summary since God did not spare his own son but gave him up for us all therefore he will give us everything I call it the solid logic of heaven that's what I called it in future grace I still call it there the solid logic of heaven [00:05:41]
Paul says God did not spare his own son but gave him up for us all that's the hardest thing therefore he will most certainly give us all things with him that's the easy thing if he was willing to do the harder thing I'd read that all my life and in that class at age 26 God opened my eyes to this God inspired logic [00:08:19]
what is the greatest obstacle between you and your sin and you with every need met every desire satisfied and eternally happy in the presence of God what's the greatest obstacle between you as a condemned sinner and you as a glorified Saint my guess is that most of us would answer something like my guilt and God's wrath are the greatest obstacles [00:09:45]
Romans 8:32 shows us those are not the biggest obstacles between me as a sinner and me as glorified saved happy with God forever they're not the biggest most ultimate obstacles God's love for his son is the biggest obstacle standing in the way of my selfish since he did not spare his own son but gave him up for us all therefore certainly he will also give us all things with him [00:11:19]
the point of Romans 8:32 is that this love of God for his one and only son was like a massive Mount Everest obstacle between us in our sin and our salvation could God would God overcome his cherishing admiring treasuring white-hot infinite affectionate bond with the Sun and hand him over to be lied about betrayed denied abandoned mocked flogged beaten [00:14:25]
my sin and my guilt is not the ultimate obstacle to my salvation because what makes my sin sinful is that it devalues the all satisfying glory of the Father and the Son and the infinite love between them that's ultimate God's wrath is not the ultimate obstacle to my salvation because the wrath of God is the holy reflex of his righteousness [00:16:38]
the ultimate obstacle to my salvation is not my guilt not my sin and not God's wrath it is God's infinite love for his own son His infinite cherishing infinite admiring treasuring white-hot affection for the beauty and the greatness of his son this is the ultimate obstacle that had to be overcome when he did not spare his own son but gave him up for us all [00:17:34]
since he didn't spare his own son therefore all things will work together for my good since he didn't spare his own son therefore I will be conformed to the image of his son since he didn't spare his own son I will be glorified since he didn't spare his own son nothing can stand against me since he didn't spare his own son no charge can be brought against me [00:18:38]
when God promises in Romans 8:32 therefore he will most certainly with him graciously give us all things among the all things that he will most certainly give us are all the promises of God made to the elect all the promises of God are yes to the elect in Christ Jesus 2nd Corinthians 1:20 rests on the solid logic of heaven in Romans 8:32 [00:19:59]
