Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.” But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down) “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
there has been a marvelous account of living by faith
our life in the kingdom is based on grace not works
last week we examine is God unjust
the answer is no
God gives mercy to whom he chooses
Righteousness of the Law
Righteousness of the Law
Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”
ongoing discussion about Jews and Gentiles
important for us as we are gentiles in the eyes of God
the Jews are God’s chosen people
yet there is a flaw in their connection with God
the same affliction that many gentiles have
Requirements of the Law
Requirements of the Law
the person who does the law will live by them Leviticus 18:5
the law demands total faithfulness and perfect application
the law is a based of human responsibility rather than god’s grace
the Law is derived from God’s grace
yet can only be fulfilled by human action
in reality Christ has achieved perfection in the law
no sin was found in him 1 Peter 2 verse 22
Christ’s Righteous Work
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
only by faith can humans access the righteous gift achieved by Jesus
every spiritual blessing flows from this single act on the cross
for man to think or do otherwise makes a mockery of Christ’s sacrifice
it highlights the pride and arrogance of satan’s lie in the heart of man
Righteousness by Faith
Righteousness by Faith
But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down) “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim:
Profess your Faith
Profess your Faith
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
believe in your heart = Jesus raised from the dead
justification now is ours
declare with your mouth = Jesus is Lord
profession of faith leading to salvation
we cannot just think it
we cannot just believe it is true
our salvation is worked out through our declaration
our salvation is worked out by our daily walk
Jesus is Lord defines the criteria by which we must live
No Shame in Christ
No Shame in Christ
As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”
the devil will do all to divert us from the truth
there is no shame for all the penalty for sin has been paid
there is no more shame, regret, guilt
we have been set free
we have total liberty
why do we not live in that liberty?
Lord of All
Lord of All
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
here is the triumphant declaration
God plays no favourites
God is completely fair and just
the Lord is Lord of all
blesses ALL who CALL on his name
salvation is assured for all
put this into practice
