Solemnly praise and recognize the greatness of our God and Savior connected to the Biblical text being preached
Oh God you are our creator and sustainer. You dwell in the most holy place even your name is holy. We worship you as our king and recognize your Lordship over all things both here on earth and above. We resign ourselves to you as your subjects and ask for your Spirit to give us the guidance and strength to do your will in our lives. We rejoice in the thought and hope of your soon return. We praise you our good God for every good gift you have given us and all that you have provided to us. We confess to you oh God the sinfulness of our hearts, we are guilty according to your law. We throw ourselves before you, at the foot your throne to plead with you for acceptance and forgiveness, not in our own merits but through the blood of the lamb which was slain. Protect us we pray Father for we are so easily led astray by satan, this world, and our flesh. Guard us from the forces of this evil age that seek to devour us, keep us steadfast in your care.

Alienation
remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
Being Lost
Eph
She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
Matt
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Futility
Luke
knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold,
Slavery
For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Demon Possession / Oppression
Gal
And those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
Sickness
And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”
Danger
And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
Corrupted Generation
And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.”
Matt 8.
Sin
She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
Hostility / Enmity
Matt
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
Salvation = from the just wrath of God!
Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
The Pillar New Testament Commentary: The Epistle to the Romans II. Thesis, 1:16–17
Salvation is a very positive affair; it brings a rich variety of blessings from God (5:10–11; 1 Cor. 1:18; Eph. 2:13, etc.). But it also has negative aspects. People may be saved from wrath (5:9), from hostility to God (5:10) or alienation from him (Eph. 2:12), from sin (Matt. 1:21), from being lost (Luke 19:10), from futility (1 Pet. 1:18), from “a yoke of slavery” (Gal. 5:1), from demon-possession (Luke 8:36), from sickness (Luke 8:48), from danger (Matt. 8:25–26), from a “corrupt generation” (Acts 2:40). Salvation has many facets. There is a sense in which it has already been achieved (Eph. 2:5), and another in which it is a present, on-going process (1 Cor. 1:18; 2 Cor. 2:15), but often the New Testament writers see it as future (13:11; 1 Cor. 5:5; 2 Tim. 4:18, etc.).
The Expositor’s Bible Commentary, Volume 10: Romans through Galatians II. Theme: The Gospel as the Revelation of the Righteousness of God (1:16, 17)
Salvation is a broad concept. It includes the forgiveness of sins, but involves much more, because its basic meaning is soundness or wholeness. It promises the restoration of all that sin has marred or destroyed. It is the general term that unites in itself the particular aspects of truth suggested by justification, reconciliation, sanctification, and redemption.

This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
The Plan
because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

The Expositor’s Bible Commentary, Volume 10: Romans through Galatians II. Theme: The Gospel as the Revelation of the Righteousness of God (1:16, 17)
The Greek word for “power” (dynamis) has sometimes elicited the reaction that the gospel is dynamite! This is quite out of place, for the emphasis is not on blowing false religions out of the way or blasting a trail of success for the true faith or even on delivering people from habits they have been unable to shake off. Paul himself goes on to explain in what sense “power” is to be understood.
The Pillar New Testament Commentary: The Epistle to the Romans II. Thesis, 1:16–17
The gospel is not advice to people, suggesting that they lift themselves. It is power. It lifts them up. Paul does not say that the gospel brings power but that it is power, and God’s power at that. When the gospel is preached, this is not simply so many words being uttered. The power of God is at work
(2.) It is to those, and those only, that believe. Believing interests us in the gospel salvation; to others it is hidden. The medicine prepared will not cure the patient if it be not taken.

The gospel is indeed offered to all for their salvation, but the power of it appears not everywhere: and that it is the savour of death to the ungodly, does not proceed from what it is, but from their own wickedness.

The Message of Romans 2. The Gospel Is God’s Power for Salvation (16)
The priority of the Jews (‘first for the Jew’) is both theological, because God chose them and made his covenant with them, and therefore historical (‘We had to speak the word of God to you first’).
And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.
Act 13.36
They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises. To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.

What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin,
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

What is righteousness?
When you think of the word righteousness what do you think of?
If someone asked you to define righteousness for them how would you do that?
God demands righteousness of us!
Righteous = dikaiosyne = what is right / to be put right with
dikaios = justice
For in it the JUSTICE of God is revealed from faith for faith...
How does the gospel reveal Gods Righteousness / His Justice?
God’s Own Righteousness in Christ
His Accreditation of Righteousness to Us
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
, 2:5
5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.
5 But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)
10 as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; 11 no one understands; no one seeks for God. 12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” 13 “Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.” 14 “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.” 15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16 in their paths are ruin and misery, 17 and the way of peace they have not known.” 18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” 19 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
Rom 3.10-
What does it mean from faith to faith?
Why will the righteous live by faith?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 5 And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: 7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; 8 blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.”

The Message of Romans 3. Paul and Evangelism (1:14–17)
According to tradition, Paul was an ugly little guy with beetle brows, bandy legs, a bald pate, a hooked nose, bad eyesight and no great rhetorical gifts. So what could he hope to accomplish against the proud might of imperial Rome?
