INTRO TO SERIES: We will be using a lot of the same passages and letters, because all these concepts are so intertwined
Romans 3
Introduction - Why did Jesus have to die?
Probably one of the most common questions about the message of Christianity, “Why is this all necessary?”
Paul addresses these questions in the book of Romans (and elsewhere)
Our universal debt ()
We ignored and forgot about God (1:16-32)
God will judge everyone (2:1-11)
Even if we were ignorant about God, we are guilty, and even more so if we knew better (2:12-29)
Have you ever done something that you knew was wrong?
Or something you later found out was wrong?
Or suspect that you’ve done something wrong in the past that you don’t even realize?
As a result, absolutely everyone stands guilty before God (3:1-20)
Jesus given as the solution to the problem ()
The problem - “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (3:23)
What God did - redeemed us through Jesus, who was put forward as a propitiation
Propitiation - “The removal of wrath by the offering of a gift.”
(Morris, L. (1979–1988).
Propitiate; Propitiation.
In G. W. Bromiley (Ed.),
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Revised (Vol.
3, p. 1004).
Wm.
B. Eerdmans.)
That universal debt must be dealt with, which incurs the wrath/punishment to make right what was wrong; Jesus satisfies that wrath and takes that punishment
Why he had to do it -
(Morris, L. (1979–1988).
Propitiate; Propitiation.
In G. W. Bromiley (Ed.),
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Revised (Vol.
3, p. 1004).
Wm.
B. Eerdmans.)
“he passed over former sins” - didn’t drop the hammer every time, but was patient, with an end in sight
“So that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus”
Just - that the universal debt might be satisfied, show himself to be just and righteous by dealing with the wrongdoing
Justifier - God is the one who himself does the justifying
So God takes care of the problem we caused (showing himself just) by taking the punishment on Jesus/himself (therefore being the one who also justifies)
Abraham wasn’t earning it, he was relying on God () —> We receive it by faith
Reflections on the Gospel, Jesus as Savior ()
Consequence of this all - “we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (5:1)
God’s love poured out on us -
Jesus died for the ungodly, the sinners, us, me, you
The weak and ungodly - the one who has incurred the universal debt - is you!
People don’t even die for other good people, but Jesus died for you, knowing what you were! (5:8)
We are saved by Jesus’ death from the wrath of God
More than that - “through [Jesus Christ] we have now received reconciliation” (5:11)
