Sermon Notes:

REVIVAL THROUGH ROMANS…ARE YOU IN AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST?…OR AN AFFAIR?

IF RELIGION AND ITS RITUALS DO NOT SAVE ME THEN WHAT’S THE POINT?…TO REVEAL GOD TO YOU THROUGH HIS WORD!

Romans 3:1-2 ESV

Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? [2] Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.

SINCE SO MANY DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD, WHY SHOULD I?…BECAUSE HE IS FAITHFUL!

Romans 3:3-4 ESV

What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? [4] By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, "That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged."

WHY NOT SIN IF GOD IS GOING TO FIX IT, FORGIVE ME, AND MAKE HIMSELF LOOK GOOD IN THE PROCESS?…BECAUSE SIN IS JUDGED AND ULTIMATELY CONDEMNED, AND NOT CONDUCIVE TO AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP…IT’S NOT HOW WE TREAT SOMEONE WE ARE TRULY IN LOVE WITH! IT’S HOW WE TREAT SOMEONE WE ARE HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH.

Romans 3:5-8 ESV

But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? ( I speak in a human way.) [6] By no means! For then how could God judge the world? [7] But if through my lie God's truth abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner? [8] And why not do evil that good may come?-as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.
