Justification places us in a status as having never sinned, and there are six blessings that come from this: 1) We have peace with God. We’re no longer at war with Him;. 2) We stand in grace. It’s like having a backstage pass to be in the presence of the Lord; 3) We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God – a hope-filled certainty; 4) We have glory in suffering – we’ll never go through it alone an...

In his old age, and as good as dead, God promised Abraham that he would have a son and would be the father of many nations. Abraham believed God and it was "accounted to him as righteousness." So to are we accounted as righteousness if we believe in God who raised Jesus from the dead.

It doesn’t matter if you’re “pagan” or “righteous” (appearing), we’re all guilty and salvation for all is only by grace through faith. There are two sides: the law, which says “you must,” “you will;” and the promise, which says “I (God) will,” “have faith”, “believe.” The law promotes sin because If you know it’s wrong you want to do it all the more. It’s critical to understand that faith is not a...

Faith, justification and salvation - by faith and not of works or by keeping the law

Biblical Christianity is the only world religion that bases salvation on the performance of another, Jesus, while all the rest stand on personal works. Paul proves to the Jews that no one will be able to stand before a righteous God on the basis of their works. The Jews thought they were superior because they knew the law, but they were full of hypocrisy and thought more of what man thought of the...

God has a different view of sin than we do. After chapter 1, the religious, who have a tendency to be a little snobbish, would feel superior to those condemned by their actions, but in chapter 2, Paul says we’re all guilty. We are all without excuse and without escape, yet we condemn others for their sins, the same things we are doing. The world’s favorite scripture is “Judge not lest you be judge...

Half-hearted forgiveness can result in unanticipated consequences. If there is only superficial forgiveness there often is incomplete repentance. As with David and his son Absalom, after Absalom killed his brother for violating his half-sister Tamar, David forgave Absalom but only partially, as he wouldn’t show his face. This fueled rebellion in Absalom’s heart which resulted in Absalom eventually...

Paul’s list of sins and attitudes contains the worst of the worst, and the fact that “disobedience to parents” is within this list shows where God’s heart is on the matter. In fact, it was considered so important that to disobey was worthy of death. Ephesians says to “honor your father and mother” and that this is the first commandment with a promise, “that your days may be long on the earth.” Thr...

The standard progression of ungodliness: We know God; we don’t worship God; we exchange God for something/someone else; and finally God gives us over to a debased mind, which is the fearful consequence of deliberate atheism. This is the clearest example of a disordered affection where a vertical worship disorder translates to a horizontal disorder and a culture of decay. We have all fallen short i...

People have refused to glorify and thank God, even though they know Him, and have turned to their own ways, constructing idols to worship and turning their backs on Him.

God's wrath is against those who are ungodly and have suppressed the truth. God has made Himself known throughout the ages through His creation, and mankind is without excuse.
