Good evening Church

We are covering what many consider...

Because there is so much to cover in this chapter...
We will split this chapter up in two parts...
A
And then, after that, we will cover possibly the most controversial chapter in the Bible...
Romans 9
Opening Prayer
Before we dive into the text...
Please join me one more time in prayer before we start
Part 1 -
For Part 1...
We will be covering the first 25 verses
Let’s start with the first five verses
Text Reading:
Verse 1: There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus
Verse 1:
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), .
This is the one of the most reassuring verses to give use confidence in our salvation
No sin a believer has committed or can commit...
Past, present, or future...
John F. MacArthur Jr., The MacArthur Study Bible: New American Standard Bible.
(Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2006), .
Can be held against them...
Since the penalty was paid by Christ and righteousness was imputed to the believer
If you are in Christ...
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), Ro 8:1.
You will not be condemned...
You will not be found guilty before God...
Because you are covered in the blood of Christ...
You stand before God with Jesus’ righteousness...
And thank God, not our sinful unrighteousness
Verse 2: The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), .
The “law of the Spirit of life” is the Gospel or law of faith
This true and powerful message...
Of Christ’s perfect work on the cross...
Sets us free from the Law
Which, as identified from the last chapter...
Brings about sin and death due to our weakness of flesh
Verse 3: What the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh
As identified from the last chapter...
The law cannot deliver from sin...
.
Or make one righteous
In fact, the law brings about sin and death...
Due to our weakness of flesh
The law could not bring about rightousness
Verse 3: God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), .
Although, the law could not bring about righteounsnesss....
God did bring about righteousness
How?
By sending His Son, Jesus...
To stand in our place...
Although sinless...
He took on God the Father’s wrath...
Punished as if He was a sinner
He became an offering for the payment of our sin
Verses 3-4: He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us
4 so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
God’s condemnation against sin...
Was fully poured out on the sinless flesh of Christ
Why not just forgive us?
Why punish Jesus?
John F. MacArthur Jr., The MacArthur Study Bible: New American Standard Bible.
(Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2006), Ro 8:3.
John F. MacArthur Jr., The MacArthur Study Bible: New American Standard Bible.
(Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2006), .
God is Holy and Good...
By His very nature and attributes...
God can not let sin go unpunished
Every sin must be paid for
As
This is the requirement of the Law
Until one accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior of their life...
They are on death row...
Guilty and with a death sentence
Punishment is required...
Death is required...
Blood is required...
Will it be you be paying the bill or will Jesus be paying it for you?
Verse 4: Who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), .
We, as followers of Christ...
Walk in the Spirit...
We walk in righteousness...
We walk on the narrow road...
We walk by faith...
We become more Christ like
Verse 5: For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh
Believers in Christ...
Do not walk according to the flesh...
Do not walk in unrighteousness...
Do not walk on the wide road...
Do not walk by sight...
Do not look like the world
Verse 5: But those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
