… us because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom he has given us. You see, at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. God demonstrates his love for us in this. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more will we be saved from God's wrath through him? For if in our sin, not only is this so, but we rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom we have now received reconciliation. Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men because all sin, for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but sin is not taken into account where there is no law. …

And it's framed with planks of mercy and kindness and grace. And over the doorway, welcome home.

… a perfect life and he died a death on the cross and he rose three days later all for our redemption. Romans 5, 6 says, for when we were still without strength, in due time, Christ died for the ungodly. Due time, it was the suitable time. It was the most advantageous time for a particular purpose. Christ died in the fullness of time, and he died for not the righteous, but the unrighteous. He came for the ungodly. and because he came in the fullness of time it makes today your time the bible says that today is the accepted time that today is the day of salvation but i want you to know tonight that that window will come to a close we are in what is referred to as the age of grace and in the age of grace the invitation goes out all that will come.

If you've been delaying to put your faith and trust in Jesus, the father of time, the everlasting father, you put your faith in him today because you don't know if you have tomorrow. God's will for your life. You want to know what God wants? Believe in the one whom he has sent. The Bible says, call on him while he is near. …
we want to offer a prayer at this time. And it could be that you know personally or have some kind of connection with someone who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our country. And you would like to stand on behalf of that person. You won't be asked to say anything or do anything. But as we pray, if you want to stand on behalf of somebody, please do so. And this prayer is a silent prayer. And so we'll just get it started. And you talk to your heavenly Father. Thank him. Respond to him as he leads. Okay? Gracious Father, now we honor those who were so willing to give soul. much. Through Christ we pray and all God's people said Amen. You can be seated. You know what I wish? I wish that everyone understood what we are doing here today is infinitely more important than what the Spurs will do tonight. Just saying. I love the Spurs. I'll be watching the game. But long after that game is over, what we do here will continue. …
… even in suffering. Plants for endurance and character and hope, all of which are really good things. And our hope is in God's love for us. How much does he love us? Keep going, Romans 5 verse 6. While we were still weak, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person. No, perhaps for a good person, one would dare even to die. But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. put it all together church for God's people for all who trust in him and specifically all who put their trust in Jesus our joy is not found in our ever-changing circumstances and isn't that good news if our joy is dependent on what happens or doesn't happen tomorrow on how that doctor's visit goes, on how that conversation with your boss goes, your joy is dependent on decisions that other people make, we will have no foundation for joy in this life. We will live our lives on sinking sand because our circumstances are ever changing. But God has not called us to live that way. Our joy is not found in our ever changing circumstances. Our joy is found in God's never changing promises. Oh, don't miss this. Please don't miss this. When your foundation is God's never changing promises, when your hope is built on the actual guarantees of God, not the nice sounding lies of this world, there is surprising joy to be found even in the midst of suffering in …
… Louis to know that he now has access to God because of me. That's our position. Now, how did we get there? We got there by God solving this problem. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Anybody say amen to that? Christ didn't die for pretty good people. He died for the ungodly. And if you don't think you're ungodly, then you don't need Christ. But the wages of sin isn't that you're bad. The wages of sin is that you're dead. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person. Though for a good person, someone might possibly dare to die. but God demonstrates his own love for us in this. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. That's the gospel. That's the good news. That is the good news. That is what gets me off the treadmill of wondering what more must I do to get into a place where I can have peace with God. …
… but the core teaching is found in chapter 5, 6, 7, and 8. I want you to read the whole thing, but but the core of Paul's argument is Romans 5 6 7 and 8 I've pressed that upon you time and again that if you really want to understand what it means to be a Christian if you want to have your faith cemented in Christ if you want to stand strong in your understanding of your calling Romans 5, Romans 6, Romans 7, and Romans 8.

When you read Romans 5, 6, 7, and 8, you'll find that there are four rough realities that Paul presses upon us that set the stage for what we read in chapter eight. Don't miss this. You cannot fully understand chapter eight without understanding the four rough realities that Paul lays out leading us up to chapter eight. Can I give you those four realities? Let me teach them so we can begin shouting next week. …
