My sermon notes for Sunday morning, Dec 22nd.  Remember, these are my personal study notes and not a manuscript of the sermon.

Romans 5:1-11

INTRO

  • We have been justified by grace through faith
  • Through justification:
    • Our sins have been forgiven.
    • We have been imputed with the righteousness of Christ.
  • Both are a gift from God and because of the righteousness of Christ.
  • This Christmas let’s consider the gift of Christ’s righteousness.

We Have Peace with God – v. 1

We are no longer at war with God…no longer His enemies

  • Isaiah 48:22 – no peace for the wicked
  • Romans 8:1 – no condemnation for the righteous

We Have Hope in His Grace – vv. 2-8

Access by faith into His grace in which we stand.

  • The right granted by a high official
  • Jesus – Luke 23:45 (when he tore the veil)

We hope in the glory of God

  • Hope – desire for good with the expectation of obtaining it. A faithful trust in God’s promises for the future
  • Glory – the excellence and perfection of who God is.
    • His Character
    • His Attributes
  • This hope is due to our access and stance. OUR PRESENCE AND WHERE WE STAND.

We hope in our suffering

  • Pressures from the outside…to squeeze.
  • How do we respond. Fear, Faint, or Fight (Faith and Focus)
  • As believers we have hope.
  • Therefore, we rejoice, because we know it has a purpose
    • It produces: Endurance (we keep going);Character (this is the proof); Hope (faithful trust in His promises)

We hope in the God’s love and His gift of the Holy Spirit

  • The reason is because the love of God has been poured in us.
  • Saved us and empowers us
  • He SHOWS HIS LOVE…WHILE STILL SINNERS…CHRIST DIED FOR US

We Have Assurance in So Great a Salvation – verses 9-11

  • IT IS A FINAL SALVATION. Much more saved by the wrath of God. Our Final
  • IT IS A COMPLETE SALVATION. We have been reconciled. Made right. Justified
