1) Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God. We are no longer at war with God but instead God is on our side.
2) Through our Lord Jesus Christ, we also have obtained access to God. Believers have been accepted by God and now have permission to enter God's presence.
3) This access and standing in God's grace is permanent and will last forever because it is based on Christ's finished work rather than human effort or merit. Our security in salvation depends on Christ keeping us in God's grace rather than our ability to maintain salvation through works.
The Holy Spirit uses the Word of God as the instrument for change in people's lives. The Bible provides hope for change, imparts the keys to change, and provides examples of people who succeeded in changing, such as Saul who became Paul. With the Word of God, circumstances, finances, physical conditions, and lives can all change, as it corrects one's focus and provides portraits of hope for when change is needed in others. The Word shows how persistence in faith can lead to change, as with the woman with an issue of blood.

This passage from Isaiah 58 discusses God's condemnation of empty worship rituals among his people that are not accompanied by righteous living and care for the oppressed. God explains that true worship requires loosening bonds of wickedness, sharing with the hungry, and clothing the naked. The prophet Isaiah lived during a time of rebuilding after the exile when the temple had been reconstructed but the city walls remained in ruins. God promises blessings of light, guidance, strength, and renewal for those who repent from sin and pursue justice. The sermon references other passages emphasizing that God desires mercy over sacrifice and that true salvation will come through God himself acting as righteous judge and redeemer through the coming Messiah.
This document provides a summary and analysis of Isaiah 58:1-12.

The document analyzes various verses in depth to draw connections between the prophecy and Jesus' life and crucifixion.
The document provides an overview and analysis of Isaiah 49:1-13. It summarizes that:

Isaiah 31 discusses God's promise to protect Israel and Judah if they trust in Him rather than forming alliances with other nations like Egypt. It warns that those who seek protection from Egypt will be put to shame, as the Egyptians are merely mortal while God is all-powerful.

It calls the Israelites to repent and return to God to receive His protection.

God will judge the earth and its inhabitants for their sins and breaking God's covenant. This judgement is described in Isaiah 24-27 and referred to as Isaiah's Apocalypse. However, God also has a plan for salvation and will deliver the remnant of people from the ends of the earth who worship him. Ultimately, God will reign eternally in Jerusalem and provide salvation for all people through his son Jesus Christ.
God will judge the earth and its inhabitants for their sin and breaking of His covenant.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Missionary Journey in 56-57 A.D.
•Paul was trained in Greek philosophy as well as
advanced Hebrew by Gamaliel.
•Paul was a Roman citizen by birth.

Rome and not to a specific church?
•Paul had never been to Rome, but he had heard of the
faith of believers there.
•Christianity had been brought back to Rome 20 years
earlier by visitors to Jerusalem after the coming of the
Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2:10).
7. The Letter to the Romans
•The most comprehensive theology on salvation in the
Bible.
•It answers the question by Socrates, “How is it
possible for a holy God to forgive sin without
compromising his righteousness?”
8. Summary of Romans 1-4
1. Salvation is by faith, both in the Old and New
Testaments.
2. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
3. We are restored to a right relationship with God

9. Key Verses for “Salvation by Faith”
•Salvation in the Old and the New Testaments has
always been through Faith.
•Romans 1:16-17 NIV
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the
power of God for the salvation of everyone who
believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in
the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a
righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as
it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
10. “Salvation of everyone who believes”
•Believes ‒ To trust, to rely on, or have faith in.
•The verb ‘believes’ is in the present tense (is
believing).
•This stresses that believing is not just a one-time
event, but an ongoing condition.
11. What is faith in the Bible?
• Genesis 15:6 NIV
6 Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as
righteousness.
• Hebrews 11:1 NIV
1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain
of what we do not see.
• Hebrews 11:6 NIV
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because
anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and
that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
12. Saving faith consists of 3 elements.
1. Mental – The mind understands the gospel and the
truth about Christ (Romans 10:14-17).
2. Emotional – One embraces the truthfulness of
those facts with sorrow over sin and joy over God’s
mercy and grace (Romans 6:17; 15:13).
3. Volitional – The sinner submits his will to Christ and
trusts in Him alone as the only hope of salvation
(Romans 10:9).
13. The Bible Trilogy of Habakkuk 2:4
•Habakkuk 2:4b NIV
4b the righteous will live by his faith.
•Trilogy of Habakkuk 2:4 in the New Testament
1. Romans 1:17
2. Galatians 3:11
3. Hebrews 10:38
14. Summary verses of Romans 1-4
•Romans 3:22-24 NIV
22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in
Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference
between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified freely by
his grace through the redemption that came by Christ
Jesus.
15. Peace with God
•Romans 5:1 NIV
1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
•The first blessing of the justified “peace with God.”
•The peace with God means the enmity (hostility,
conflict) between God and sinner is removed.
16. “peace with God”
•Notice here it says peace with God, not peace of God.
•The Bible also teaches we have the subjective type
‘peace of God’ that surpasses all understanding.
•Philippians 4:7 NIV
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus.
17. The Blessing of Access to God’s Grace
•Romans 5:2a NIV
2a through whom we have gained access by faith into
this grace in which we now stand.
•The Jews only had access to God through the High
Priest.
•After Christ’s death, the curtain separating the Holy
of Holies was torn allowing direct access.
•Stand – A position of firmness and confidence.
18. Access to God’s Grace
•Hebrews 4:15-16 NIV
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to
empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who
has been tempted in every way, just as we are —yet
he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of
grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy
and find grace to help us in our time of need.
19. The Blessing of Hope
•Romans 5:2b NIV
2b And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
•Hope speaks of something that is completely certain,
but not yet realized.
•The Christian has confidence that the purpose for
which God created him/her will be ultimately
realized.
•That purpose is to spend eternity with God and share
in his glory.
20. Purpose in our suffering
•Romans 5:3 NIV
3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings
(tribulations), because we know that suffering
produces perseverance;
•Paul now gives us a reality check about life –
suffering!
•He wants us to know that there is purpose in the
various sufferings (difficulties) in life.
21. The definition of suffering (tribulation)
•Suffering ‒ Greek thlipsis means ‘pressing together.’
•The definition implies a pressure like that of a press
squeezing the fluid from olives or grapes.
•These are not the normal pressures of life, but the
inevitable troubles that come to followers of Christ
because of their relationship with Him.
•These are the challenges in life that require you to
have to decide to act in a Christ-like manner.
22. Suffering produces Perseverance
•Perseverance refers to endurance and the ability to
remain strong and Christlike under tremendous
weight and pressure.
•In these sufferings, you do not give-up, you do not
give in to frustration, and you do not lash out in anger.
23. The link between perseverance and patience
•Perseverance is sometimes translated as ‘patience.’
•Patience suggests tolerance and endurance of difficult
situations.
•Perseverance suggests determination when an
individual strives to achieve his target.
24. Do our current Coronavirus challenges qualify
as suffering?
•We have all had to learn patience and perseverance
through this in almost all areas of our lives.
•Examples are togetherness, sharing of shortage items,
not hoarding supplies, social distancing, finances,
isolation, etc.
•It feels like God has put us all in time out!
25. Do we really want to pray for patience???
•Lord, give me patience … but hurry.
26. Perseverance Character
•Romans 5:4 NIV
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
•The process of spiritual maturity is not just an
endurance of life’s problems.
•A better translation: “perseverance produces proven
character.”
•The Greek word for character simply means “proof.”
27. “Character” in the Bible
•The Greek word for character means “proof,
approved, a specimen of tried worth.”
•Used for testing metals to determine their impurity.
•The Old Testament used the illustration of fire
removing the impurities from gold (refining fire).
•The implication is that sufferings produce
perseverance, which in turn removes impurities that
produces character.
28. Trials by fire in the Bible
•James 1:12 NIV
12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial
because, having stood the test, that person will
receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to
those who love him.
29. Trials by fire in the Bible
•For the non-believer, fire will be the eternal
punishment.
•Revelation 20:15 NIV
15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the
book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
30. Character Hope
•Romans 5:4b NIV
4b and character, hope.
•The final goal of suffering is hope!
•Hope ‒ A confident expectation and a firm assurance
that is based on the promises of God
•Psalm 71:14 NIV
14 But as for me, I will always have hope;
I will praise you more and more.
31. Hope Does Not Disappoint
•Romans 5:5 NIV
5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has
poured his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
whom he has given us.
•Hope is the blessed assurance of our future destiny.
•Hope is based on God’s love, which is revealed to us
by the Holy Spirit, and demonstrated to us by the
death of Christ.
32. Faith Hope Love
•In Romans 5:1 Paul describes Faith; in verses 2-5
Hope; and in verse 5 Love.
•I Corinthians 13:13 NIV
13 Now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But
the greatest of these is love.
•When we go to be with Christ in Heaven, we will no
longer need faith or hope – our faith will become
sight, and our hope realized.
•But love will remain for eternity!
33. “at just the right time”
•Romans 5:6 NIV
6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still
powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
•God had every minute and final detail of redemption
planned before creation.
•Before Christ, we were “powerless and helpless”,
spiritually dead, and unregenerate sinners in need of
a Savior.
34. “at just the right time”
• Why was the time just right for God to send his Son to the
earth?
• Only God knows for sure.
• Some possible reasons may be these listed below.

West.

8a The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me:
•Esther 4:14c NIV
14c “And who knows but that you have come to this
royal position for such a time as this?”
•Have you had some of these moments lately?
36. Christ died for all sinners
• Romans 5:7-8 NIV
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though
for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But
God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we
were still sinners, Christ died for us.
• We were neither righteous nor good, but sinners, when
Christ died for us.
• “God demonstrates” means God proved his love for us.
37. Saved from God’s wrath
•Romans 5:9 NIV
9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how
much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath
through Him!
•Justified by his blood ‒ We have been made right
with God through the death (shedding of His blood)
of Christ.
38. “saved from God’s wrath through Him!”
•Wrath ‒ The emotional response to perceived wrong
and injustice.
•God’s wrath ‒ The response of a righteous God against
sin (justified).
•Man’s wrath ‒ Personal revenge and vengeance
against another (not justified).
•Deuteronomy 32:35a
35a “It is mine to avenge; I will repay.”
39. “saved from God’s wrath through Him!”
•God’s wrath for the sin of man was poured out on
Christ at the crucifixion.
•Jesus expresses Psalm 22:1, known as ‘the cry of the
righteous sufferer,’ as He experiences God’s
abandonment and wrath for man’s sins.
•Matthew 27:46 NKJV
46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice,
saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God,
my God, why have you forsaken me?”
40. “saved from God’s wrath through Him!”
•The believer will not experience God’s wrath for his
sin, because it was poured onto Christ.
•At our judgment in Heaven, God will see the
righteousness of Christ, worn like a robe, and not our
sin.
•The Pre-tribulation view is that believers will be saved
from the wrath of the final Day of the Lord, during the
tribulation period on earth.
41. Reconciled to God
•Romans 5:10 NIV
10 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!
•Man, because of sin, is the enemy of God.
•This hostility as an enemy was ‘put to an end’
(reconciled) through the death of his Son.
42. Rejoice!!!!!

11 Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have

I’m the God who sees

8 We are troubled on every side, but not crushed;
perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not
abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed;

poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit
whom he has given us.
46. The Plan of Hope & Salvation:
John 3:16-17 NKJV
16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His
Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the
world through Him might be saved.”
John 14:6 NKJV

one comes to the Father except through Me.”

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 6:23a NKJV

life to pay the penalty for our sin.
• The death referred to in Romans 6:23a is the “second death”
explained in Revelation 21:8.
48. The Plan of Hope & Salvation:
Revelation 21:8 NKJV
8 “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually
immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the
lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
• Anyone who’s lifestyle is one or more of the sins listed in Revelation
21:8, will experience the “second death,” if they do not repent.
• To Repent means to turn around, to go in the opposite direction, to turn
away from sin and believe in Jesus.

still sinners, Christ died for us.

Lord.

be his God and he shall be My son.”
• Romans 10:9-10 explain to us how to be overcomers.
50. The Plan of Hope & Salvation:
Romans 10:9-10 NKJV
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and
believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto
righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.
Romans 10:13 NKJV
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
