    02-23-2014 SUN (Rom 4 17-25) Abraham The Example of a Man Justified By Faith Alone

    ABRAHAM: THE EXAMPLE OF A MAN JUSTIFIED BY FAITH ALONE

    1.) THE SOURCE OF ABRAHAM’S FAITH (ROM. 4:17)        

    a.) It was God Himself (Mk. 11:22; Heb. 11:6) b.) It was God who quickened the dead (Jn. 5:24-25, 6:40; Acts 24:15; 1 Cor. 15:22; 2 Cor. 4:14; 1 Thess. 4:16) c.) It was God who created (Mt. 19:26; Lk. 1:37; Job 42:2)

    2.) THE STRENGTH OF ABRAHAM’S FAITH (ROM. 4:18-22)

    a.) His Faith was in what God had said (Rom. 4:18)

    1.) He was not weak in faith (Rom. 4:19) (Isa. 43:10; Deut. 6:5, 10:12-13) 2.) He was strong in faith (Rom. 4:20) 3.) He was fully convinced (Rom. 4:21) (Lk. 3:8; Acts 27:25; Deut. 7:9; Ps. 37:5; Prov. 3:5; Isa. 26:3; Jer. 17:7)

    b.) His faith was credited as righteousness (Rom. 4:22) (Gen. 15:6; Rom. 5:1; 1 Cor. 6:11; Phil. 3:9)

    3.) THE RECORDING OF ABRAHAM’S FAITH (ROM. 4:23-25)

    a.) That men might read the account (Jn. 20:31; 1 Jn. 1:1-3) b.) That men might be counted righteous - by believing

    1.) That God raised Jesus 2.) That Jesus died for our sins and was raised again for our justification (Acts 2:23-24, 10:39-41, 13:30; Rom. 1:4; Eph. 1:20-21)

    “If I have a God who can raise things from the dead and who can call things into existence the things that do not exist, I am going to be a very exciting person to live with.”

    02-16-2014 SUN (Rom 4 13-15) Law The Wrong Way For A Man To Be Justified

    LAW: THE WRONG WAY FOR A MAN TO BE JUSTIFIED

    1.) THE UNMISTAKABLE STATEMENT: (ROM. 4:13)      

    a.) The promise (Heb. 11:8-10, 13-14, 16, 13:14;  2 Pet. 3:10-13; Lk. 1:33; Isa. 32:1; Dan. 7:14) (Mt. 5:5; Gal. 3:29; Rom. 4:3, 13)

    2.) THE ARGUMENT AGAINST THE LAW (ROM. 4:14-15)

    a.) Law voids faith (Rom. 3:19, 8:3; Gal. 2:19; Heb. 7:19; 2 Cor. 10:5; Phil. 4:8-9) b.) Law works wrath (Rom. 7:10-11; Gal. 3:10, 12, 5:4) c.) Law means transgression (Rom. 7:5, 8, 3:20, 5:20, 7:7; Gal. 3:19; 1 Tim. 1:9)

    “The trouble about law has always been that it can diagnose the fault but cannot bring about a cure.” To Be Continued: “The Argument For Faith”

    Romans 4:9-12 – Rituals, Rules and Ordinances: The Wrong Way For A Man To Seek Justification

    02-09-2014 SUN (Rom 4 9-12) Rituals, Rules and Ordinances The Wrong Way For a Man to Seek Justification

    Romans 4:9-12 - RITUALS, RULES AND ORDINANCES: “THE WRONG WAY FOR A MAN TO SEEK JUSTIFICATION.”

    1.) WHO RECEIVES THE BLESSING OF FORGIVENESS? (ROM. 4:9) (Rom. 4:6-8) 2.) ABRAHAM WAS COUNTED RIGHTEOUS WHEN HE BELIEVED (ROM. 4:9) (Gal. 3:6; Rom. 4:3; Titus 3:4-5; Heb. 2:4) 3.) ABRAHAM WAS COUNTED RIGHTEOUS BEFORE THE RITUAL  (ROM. 4:10) 4.) ABRAHAM RECEIVED CIRCUMCISION AS A SIGN OR SYMBOL ONLY (ROM. 4:11)

    a.) Circumcision was both a:

    1.) Sign 2.) Seal

    b.) Circumcision and all other rituals are a matter of the heart, not a matter of being spiritually cleansed by physical and material substances (Rom. 2:28-29; Col. 2:11; Deut. 10:16, 30:6) c.) Baptism should be the first step of obedience in the believer’s new life in Christ (Mt. 3:15; Mk. 16:16; Acts 2:38; Col. 2:12)

    5.) ABRAHAM WAS CHOSEN BY GOD FOR A TWOFOLD PURPOSE (ROM. 4:11-12)

    a.) To be the father of all believers (Lk. 5:31-32, 19:10;Rom. 3:23-24) b.) To be the father of the circumcised, “Who follow in the steps of Abraham’s faith.” (Mt. 7:22-23; Rom. 3:20, 10:2-4, 10; Gal. 2:16; Eph. 2:8-9)

    The Great Principle: “The way to God is not through membership of any nation, not through any order or ruling which makes a mark upon a man’s body; but by the faith which takes God at His Word and makes everything dependent solely upon God’s grace.”

    Romans 4:1-8 – The Evidence That Faith Alone Justifies A Man Cont.

    02-02-2014 SUN (Rom 4 1-8) The Evidence That Faith Alone Justifies a Man Cont.

    Romans (Rom 4 1-8) The Evidence That Faith Alone Justifies a Man  1.) THE LOGIC OF ABRAHAM’S JUSTIFICATION (ROM. 4:1-3)

    a.) He was not justified by works b.) He was justified by believing God (Mt. 7:22-23; Ro. 3:20; Gal. 2:16; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-5)

    1.) Why does God justify a person through faith?

    a.) God loves everyone with a perfect love (Jn. 3:16-17, 5:24; Ro. 5:8; 1 Pet. 3:18) b.) God loves His son with a perfect love (Mt. 17:5; Jn. 10:17, 15:9, 16:27, 17:23, 17:26; Eph. 1:6; Col. 1:13)

    2.) THE LOGIC OF THE WORKER OR LABORER (ROM. 4:4-5)

    a.) Works necessitate debt (Ro. 4:3, 5:1; Gal. 3:6; Phil. 3:9) b.) Believing in God results in righteousness (Jn. 3:18, 8:24; Heb. 3:12; Prov. 20:6, 30:12)

    3.) THE LOGIC OF DAVID’S BLESSED MAN (ROM. 4:6-8)

    a.) He is counted righteous without works b.) His sins are forgiven and covered c.) His sins are not imputed or counted against Him (Isa. 38:17, 43:25, 44:22, 55:7; Ps. 78:38, 85:2, 103:3, 12, 130:4;  Micah 7:18; 1 Cor. 15:3; Gal. 1:4; Eph. 1:7; 1 Pet. 2:24; 1Jn. 1:19; Rev. 1:5)

    “JUSTIFICATION - COMPLETE DELIVERANCE FROM SIN AND CONDEMNATION - COMES FROM GOD AND GOD ALONE, NOT FROM SOME ACT OF MAN.”
