Let’s Pray!
We are going to continue our series in Romans with Chapter 4 today.
As we have said through this entire journey this Letter Written by Paul to the Church in Romans is Paul’s exposition of the Gospel and what it means to be saved.
Today’s message is titled Justified by Faith.
I believe this section is going to change a few lives today.
It is going to speak directly to three types of people both in the church and in the world.
1. Heaven through Works.
Just about anyone you ask will tell you they believe in God.
Just about everyone you ask believe they are going to heaven.
But when you ask one question the answer tells you everything.
Why do you think you are going.
Then comes the list.
2. God only loves me when I preform well.
Roller Coaster/I messed Up
3. Jesus forgave me of my sin.
These are the sinners prayer only folks.
When it comes to Righteousness there is a fork in the road that commonly leads to a two paths.
The first is a path where it is all about working for your salvation.
Trying do good, trying to be good, trying to look good, This path is muddy, and ends up leading to this place where the person on it is buried up to their neck in the inability to do anything right.
The other path is on where the Works is a Response to my Salvation.
Because of my salvation I want to be good, I want to be more loving, I want to clean up my life.
The problem is many believers only have a partial view of Salvation.
Let me break Salvation down for you in a way that makes it more understandable.
Salvation is a Three Step Process.
Justification> Sanctification> Glorification
Past> Present > Future
Step 1: Christ forgives me of my past!
Step 2: Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, God cleans up my present.
Step 3: When we step into Heaven the fullness of salvation is placed on us and and we are presented in our glorified bodies.
Salvation is a process.
Today we are going to begin with step one of the process.
Justification
What is Justification?
Justification is the act of God Whereby He forgives the sin of an unsaved person and credits/assigns to them the righteousness of Christ when through faith they believe.
Romans Chapter 1-3 taught us that All have Sinned and Fallen Short of the Glory of God.
No one is righteous Not Even One........... Man is Guilty.
We are eternal beings what this means is that we don’t end, our souls go on and on and on.
If we have all fallen short and are guilty that mean without some sort of intervention our eternal reward is punishment.
But God...............
Rich in Mercy,
Somebody get excited for Jesus this morning.
In Jesus Comes Justification.
Guess what.
There are three components to Justification.
The Three components of Justification
1. God forgives you of your sin.
We are all sinners.
Sinners from Birth, You don’t learn how to that way.
Haven’t we all heard that I was born this way.
I was born this way, I have lived this way, and if I don’t find another way, I am going to spend eternity this way.
When I walk into God’s presence I walk in spiritually Bankrupt.
I have nothing to my name.
I have spent it all.
When God Forgives me comes the second component.
2. God credits, assigns, inputs Christ’s Righteousness into my account.
You see I came into this thing bankrupt and God not only covered my debt: Filled my account with Jesus’ righteousness.
Then comes the 3rd component of my Justification.
3. The only way to receive justification is through faith.
What is Faith?
John Lindell uses this Acrostic.
Faith
Facts:
Agree:
Individualize:
Trust :
Hope:
Faith
Facts: No one is Righteous Not One: All have fallen short: All Deserve Punishment.
Agree: I agree with all those facts: I agree that mankind is terrible.
Individualize: I realize that I am unrighteous: fallen short individual, lost and without hope.
Trust: I put my trust in Jesus’ ability to save me, I trust that he died and rose on to live on the third day, and make choice to start following him.
Hope: I begin to have hope that if I follow Jesus’ ways my life and eternity will be better.
Hope is taking steps to grow closer to God.
Now let’s dive into today’s passage.
Paul is going to make a case that the through out the history of man the only path to justification was through faith.
He is going to do that by going Old Testament.
By using two of the greatest heroes of the Old Testament.
Abraham the father of our faith and King David.
What did Abraham by his own ability learn about walking with God.
This is to say if anybody in the Bible had reason to Boast it would be Abraham.
This guy was a works, worker.
The spiritually prideful jew would say look at Abraham.
He left his family, he almost sacrificed Issac, This guys relationship with God and obedience to what God said was on point.
But Paul kills this line of thinking.
There is no boasting before God, Abraham was not so good at works that all of a sudden God was in his debt… God Owed him something.
