The Sinfulness of Man and the Salvation of God / Romans chapters 1 to 5

Now that we know who God is, and who man is, and what sin is, and how it came to the world, and what salvation is, and how we become saved, and how we stay saved, and God's plan for the church. And who Israel is, and how they fit in God's plan, and God's economy, and, you know, what God's intention is for the church, and for Israel as a nation. What do we do? How do we apply this truth in our lives? And how do we live and stay, you know, in the moment? And so, that's what you find in this book. [00:02:46] (42 seconds)  #ApplyingTruthDaily

When we say God needs man means without man without us God cannot exist no no no it's the other way around we need God you see without us God will still be God sovereign eternal and all-powerful but without God will be dead and lost and pitiful and no hope and actually will not even exist physically because he is sustaining the universe by the power of his word.

The reason why he saved us is not so that we can escape hell. He saved us in his son so that we become more like his son. And so God's desire and God's ultimate plan is to conform us to the likeness of the son, Jesus Christ. [00:25:22] (16 seconds)  #GraceOnTheCross

The walking in the power of the Holy Spirit is the key to living a Christian life. And if you discover the believer is eternally secured in Christ, because when Christ died, when he said, when he said, it is finished. Christ had completed. He had finished pain. The sin dead in full. He was saying, now the way to the Father is open forever. And that no one would ever be lost who believes that there's no barrier. There's nothing that now stands in the way. Everything. All the legal demands. All the wrath. All the judgment. All the shame and guilt and punishment that man was supposed to face because of the sin has been dealt with. In faith. And all that is left is, you believe. [00:25:56] (58 seconds)  #ConformedToChrist

The book of Romans presents a very orderly and very comprehensive, so detailed, but also systematic. And it gives strong doctrines, which are so, you know, about God and his holiness and his righteousness, but the sinfulness of man. And, you know, the condemnation, the justification, and, you know, the sanctification of man. We see the power of God and the love of God and the mercy of God revealed. And how the church and the believers who are now in Christ will now receive God's mercy and are living, expressing God's power and God's love, how they can be redefined, built together. Explains that. And show how we can appropriately apply this truth in our lives. As we live by faith. [00:35:16] (54 seconds)  #LivingSacrifice

We also see in this book the appropriation of the righteousness. How God gives and pass on. You know, the righteousness of his son unto us, how by faith we leave and move and experience God's righteousness, how by faith, all those who in Christ, God looks at them and consider them righteous, not because the righteousness is coming from themselves, but because they now have the righteousness of his son. Just like I mentioned that when Christ was crucified on the cross, when God looked at his son, he saw you and I. Because it was our sins that held him there. And now in Christ, when he looks at us, he does not see us for who we are. He sees us as righteous and holy because he sees the righteousness of his son.

We should make sure as we proclaim the gospel, we are reaching everyone we come in contact with without segregation. That we are reaching people with the gospel. Whether it is our tribe or not. It's people we quote unquote like or not like. We okay with that way of life or not. As long as they exist, they need the gospel. They need Jesus Christ. And we share the gospel with them. They might be sinful. And maybe living that kind of life will feel like at least their life is okay. They might be evil or wicked. They might be witch doctors or not. They need the gospel. And so it is not for us to declare and say, oh, I think that person is gone. That person is not with the way their life is, with what they've done. I don't think they deserve to be forgiven. Or I don't think they can ever be forgiven. And get saved or they will believe. It's not for us to decide that. Our work is to share the gospel. [00:46:54] (67 seconds)  #GospelCentered

To be justified is to be judicially declared not guilty of our sin. Why? Because the penalty has been paid by Jesus Christ. To be justified is to be judicially declared righteous before God. Why? Because the righteousness of Jesus Christ has been credited to the believer when he placed his faith in Jesus Christ. [01:01:31] (29 seconds)  #FilthyRagsTruth
