Saved Without A Doubt

“SAVED WITHOUT A DOUBT”

“Possession of Divine Love”

“Certainty of Deliverance”

“Joy in the Lord”

Romans 5:5-11

I.                   Peace With God

II.                Standing In Grace

III.             Hope of Glory

IV.              POSSESSION OF DIVINE LOVE Romans 5:5-8

When a person receives salvation through Jesus Christ, he or she enters a spiritual love relationship with God that lasts throughout all eternity. Paul makes it clear that “love of God” does not here refer to our love to God, but to His love for us. The overwhelming truth of the Gospel is that God loved sinful, fallen, rebellious humanity so much “that He gave His only begotten Son.” I John 4:4-10. God’s immense love is demonstrated by Christ’s dying for the ungodly – for totally unrighteous, totally undeserving, totally unlovable humanity.

“Poured out” in Romans 5:5 refers to lavish outpouring to the point of overflowing. John 7:38-39. Those rivers of blessing can flow out of us only because of the divine rivers of blessing, including the blessing of divine love, that God has poured into us.

V.                 CERTAINTY OF DELIVERANCE Romans 5:9-10

As if the first four were not enough to overwhelm us completely with assurance, there is a fifth link in the unbreakable chain that binds us to Christ: our certainty of deliverance from divine judgment. Since God had the power and the will to redeem us in the first place, how “much more then” does He have the power and the will to keep us redeemed? Since God’s grace covers the sins of even His enemies, how much more does it cover the sins of His Children!

VI.              JOY IN THE LORD Romans 5:11

A sixth and final link in the unbreakable chain that eternally binds us as believers to Christ is our joy or exultation in God. I Peter 1:3-8

Because of these six links binding the believer to the Lord, there is true eternal salvation and every reason for full assurance of it.
