Roman Recap
Step 1: - Everyone has sinned.
Step2: - The Punishment for sin is Hell.
These two steps are final for man.
This is humanities condition and destiny and there is nothing than man can do to change it.
Man cannot tty harder, or be better, or change his life because man is spiritually depraved and is unable to do anything about it.
Steps 1 and 2 are without a doubt the worst news that anyone can come to an understanding off.
They paint the blackest picture of hopelessness.
You are a sinner.
Sinners go to Hell.
there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
This is the bad news.
But in answer to this terrible news - God announced good news, the best news - the Gospel.
The Third Step in the Roman Road
The Gospel of Jesus Christ
God has already given us something out of Heaven - Bad News.
This bad news came in the form of the Law.
The Law could not help you, but it condemned you.
The Law showed you your in, but then left you in that sinful state.
God then gave us a second Gift, the greatest gift.
A gift that could do what the Law could never do.
You have to understand that Salvation is not of man.
It was not man changing his life or saving himself, salvation is all from God.
If God did not love us, did not have compassion on us, did not send His only begotten son to save us - we would not have a step 3 in the Roman Road.
Our hope as it were ends at verse 3 - under Bondage, slave.
The setting free is all of God “But God...” - We were held as slaves , But God sent a saviour on a rescue mission to save us.
The Rescue Mission
Jesus did not rescue us from the Devil, he rescued us from our Sin.
Our sin put us under Satanic Dominion and so rescuing us from our sin, sets us free from satanic bondage as well.
What was the rescue plan?
The plan was to send a substitute.
Someone who was like us, but also nothing like us.
The Plan was to send someone who had perfectly kept the Law, who was sinless, who was perfect - who therefore was fully qualified and able to pay the penalty fro our sinfulness.
This Perfect Person was Jesus Christ, who john Called the sacrificial Lamb - A perfect sacrifice who would die in place of wicked sinners.
This is why the bible speaking of Jesus work says:
What ordinances were against us?
The Law, What did Jesus do to the Law? he took it out the way.
How did Jesus do that?
By fulfilling all the requirements of the Law in Himself.
When Jesus died on Calvary’s Hill He did not die as a martyr or a victim.
He died as a substitute and as a victor.
He changed places with us.
He took all our sin, unholiness and unrighteousness upon Himself.
And then, to all who would believe on Him, he Puts all of His sinlessness, holiness and righteousness upon them that put their trust in him.
This exchange is why we are forgiven.
It is why we are set free.
The Price of our Freedom
God’s forgiveness is not God overlooking your sin.
This is very important - Jesus did not “bust us out” of sin prison - like a jail break.
He settled our account legally and properly.
The distinction i important - people who thing Jesus “busted them out” live as wanted men.
They are on the run from sin and satan and are afraid of them.
This is not how God wants youj to live.
An escaped criminal may be out of prison, but he is most certanly not “free”.
But a person who has been released and pronounced innocent is free.
An escaped criminal still fears the police and the Law.
An acquitted person fears neither the police nor the Law because they are actually free.
Jesus set you free church.
People who avoid church, or who don’t pray daily, or who don’t spend time everyday in God word, or who show forth very little fruit of repentance are acting like people who got busted out.
You are voiding things which elevate and grow you because these things condem you.
A harsh sermon sounds far less appealing than a day the beach.
A bible study is not as good as a soap opera drama.
I want to tell you today, you have not been set free.
Trust in Jesus.
