… 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. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over the nation who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam who was a power over the one to come. But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace, and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ overflow to the many. Again, the gift is not like the trespass. The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation. The gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. For if by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more would those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for …
… you fear living in any way that you would show that the sacrifice of christ on the cross is not important to you you fear living like that it's exactly what romans chapter 5 verse 8 and 9 is saying while we were still sinners christ died for us that's how we know he loves us then what does he say in verse 9 since we have now been justified by his blood how much more will be saved from God's wrath through him. We don't fear condemnation before God because of Christ. Apart from Christ, we've got a lot of reason to fear the judgment of God. But because of Christ, we don't fear condemnation. We fear living in such a way that we show that condemnation, that his forgiveness was not real and true and genuine. And fear of God now becomes equated with love for God. now I know I know this is not something we talk about a lot and that's why Acts chapter 5 is such a foreign passage in the American church it just we struggle with the picture of God that we're seeing here but if we want to worship truly we can't put some doctrines in the Bible aside we've got to embrace scripture we've got to embrace what scripture is teaching us and it's going to deepen our worship. See how this deepens our worship. When we fear God, we fear deceiving him or distrusting him or disobeying him. Do you see how the result becomes authentic Christianity …
… on the day of wrath. Romans 5 verse 9, Since therefore we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved from the wrath of God. So most prominently and most simply in this book, salvation is right there. It is deliverance from the coming wrath of God. The implication is that this message, this gospel, which we've already seen in the first opening verses, and we'll see in the remainder of this book, this gospel of the Son of God, descendant of David, raised up, coming again, this Savior on the cross for our sins, this message by itself is sufficient to save you. We believe in the sacraments. Celebrate the Lord's Supper this morning. Christ gave to His church two ordinances. We call them sacraments. Baptism and the Lord's Supper. There's nothing that says that this, this is not what saves you. It is this good news, this word that comes with power. It's not some genuflection. It's not some anointing of chrism on your forehead. It's not some sign of the cross. It's nothing like that, and it's not your parents. …
while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, by the mess of his death, by the shredding of his flesh, by the piercing of his brow, by the piercing of his hands and his feet and his side, by the mess of it all, of him giving his life, that's how we've been justified before a holy God. how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him? For if while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life? God's seeking you today. He's already done the work of saving you. and he's seeking you today with the message of an already finished work of salvation and he'll he'll go as far as necessary to find you i was thinking about this talk and remembering about a story that our church in our earliest days had a part in i was traveling on a plane in 2010 and i was reading the usa today does anybody remember this yeah no uh monday july 12th, flying to speak somewhere, reading my USA Today. Spain had won the World Cup, big story there. …
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified, there's our word, made righteous. How? By his blood. The life of the flesh is in the blood. The innocent living son of God is shedding his blood. We've been justified by his blood. How much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him? Paul writes again, your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old yeast so that you may be a new unleavened batch as you really are. And then here comes his closing. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Now it's in the tradition of the church. It's in the teaching of the early church. Christ is the Passover lamb. There were Passover lambs back in Egypt, but now there's just a Passover lamb, capital P-A-S-S-O-V-E-R, lamb, and he is Christ. This is what John was talking about. John understood, and now everyone understands that the system of sacrifice wasn't perfect. …
… The hard part is behind you. Verse 9 says, If he has justified you by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him? The hard part is behind you. He already hung there. Stop living in your shame. He died for it. The hard part is behind you. The hard part was accomplished for you. By the grace of God today, I command you to be clean. I command you to allow his grace to wash it away, to wash off the residue of the regret and the failure. The hard part is behind you. I want everyone standing all over this church. No one moving. No one distracting. The moment. This moment. This moment. This moment is significant. You are standing at the door, and you've come all this way. Look at how much you've survived. Look how much you've endured. Look how much God has protected you from. Look how much God did in your life since the time you were a little girl, since the time you were a little boy. …
… while you are still in your worst condition, God demonstrated his love for you and for us. Since we have now been justified, anybody been justified in this place today? Just checking to see. Okay, that's not, that's not a, definitely was not 100%, so this is a good word. how by his blood whose blood Christ's blood right here how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him through Jesus for if while we were God's enemies we were reconciled to him through the death of his son how much more having been reconciled shall we be saved through his life Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. So can I just talk about that just for a second? What it means is, is that on one side of our ledger was a debt. And the debt was massive because we were dead. Wages of sin is death. So it wasn't just that we owed a lot, it's that we were dead. …
… If when we were helpless and ungodly and sinful, Christ died for us," then verse 9, "'much more than having now been justified by His blood, we shall be being saved from the wrath of God through Him. For while we were enemies, we were reconciled." And if that is true, that God reconciled us to Himself through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be being saved by His life." Much more in verse 9, much more in verse 10, much more in verse 15, much more in verse 17, all the more in verse 20. And all of that language there is to say that if He gave you the greatest of all gifts, He would follow that up with the lesser gifts. This language draws me back to Genesis 22, where it talks about a sacrifice. Let me just draw you back for a minute. Genesis 22, a very familiar story. We don't need to go through the whole story. But verse 12, if I can get there. …
… died for us. Much more than having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more having been reconciled, we shall be being saved by His life. In other words, it's an argument from the greater to the lesser. If God made the greater sacrifice when we were totally sinful, He will make a lesser sacrifice now that we're less sinful. His love is so strong. He loved us when we were ungodly. He loved us when we were enemies. And He loved us so much He didn't spare His Son. son. That's language, I think, borrowed from Genesis 22. You remember the story in Genesis 22? Abraham and Isaac, and God said to Abraham, I want you to take your only son, your only legitimate son, the son of the covenant, and I want you to offer him as a sacrifice. Listen Listen to this, it's Genesis 22, verse 12. …
