The document provides a summary of Romans chapter 5, which discusses how humanity faces condemnation due to Adam's sin but can find salvation through Jesus. It contrasts Adam and Jesus, showing how Christ undid what Adam did and that people can be rescued by faith in Jesus. Paul emphasizes that justification comes only through faith in Christ, not works, and that Jesus' sacrifice opened salvation to all who accept him.
The document provides an in-depth discussion of the doctrine of justification according to Christianity. It discusses that Jesus knew no sin and committed no sin or deceit. It explains that for our sake, God made Jesus to be sin so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. It describes how God charges our sins to Jesus' account and his righteousness to our account, so that through faith in Christ we are seen as righteous in God's sight.
The document discusses the blessings of the cross, including forgiveness, provision, victory, and healing. It explains that through the cross, Jesus has forgiven our sins, provided for our needs, won victory over sin, death, and Satan, and made healing possible. However, Satan tries to keep us in unbelief, condemnation, and defeat. We must stand firm in the promises of God secured through Christ's sacrifice and receive the blessings of forgiveness, provision, victory, and healing by faith.
The document discusses the blood of Christ and how it provides eternal life. It compares the blood of man, which sustains physical life temporarily, to the blood of Christ, which sustains spiritual life eternally. It states that we receive Christ's blood through spiritual communion, which involves obeying God's commandments, studying the Bible daily, and being part of Christ's body. The blood of Christ establishes the new covenant between God and humanity, replacing the old covenant established through animal sacrifices.
1. Jesus Christ possessed two natures, a fully divine nature and a fully human nature. His humanity was perfectly identical to our own, except without sin.
2. As a human, Jesus was subject to human weaknesses and temptation. However, His divine nature allowed Him to live a sinless life and overcome all temptation.
3. By taking on human nature, Jesus showed that humanity can keep God's law when relying on the divine nature for strength. His life and death proved Satan's charges against God and humanity to be false.
We know that Jesus bore our sins. But the false idea of his death being vicarious or a substitution is not what the Bible teaches. Passages used to support this idea are discussed makeing it clear that sin is not transferable; Jesus was not made sin, nor forsaken by His father; He was without sin and bearing our sins is about removal of sins, not transferring.
This is a study of Jesus being our liberator. By His death He set us free from the law of sin and death. We are under no condemnation when we trust Him as our Savior and Liberator.

Synopsis: We know that Jesus bore our sins. But the false idea of his death being vicarious or a substitution is not what the Bible teaches. Passages used to support this idea are discussed making it clear that sin is not transferable; Jesus was not made sin, nor forsaken by His father; He was without sin and bearing our sins is about removal of sins, not transferring.
God is described as just and good. The document discusses what it means for God to be just, providing definitions and examples from scripture. It notes that God's justice is seen in punishing sin yet also providing a way of forgiveness through Jesus Christ. This allows God to be both just and merciful. The document also discusses what it means for God to be good, citing a story of Jesus instructing a rich man on entering the Kingdom of God and possessing eternal life.
The document provides an introduction and overview of Paul's letter to the Romans. It explains that the letter was written by the apostle Paul to believers in Rome around 58 AD to explain the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul shows that all people are sinners in need of salvation and that God sent Jesus to die for sins so that people can be forgiven and live eternally with God. The letter explains that through faith in Jesus, believers can be made righteous in God's sight and empowered to live holy lives.
The document provides information about Lesson 12, which discusses the great controversy between Christ and Satan. It begins by describing Lucifer's original position as a perfect, beautiful being in heaven. However, Lucifer became prideful and rebelled against God, wanting to take God's place. This led to Lucifer being cast out of heaven. The death of Jesus on the cross provided evidence to vindicate God and His character in response to Satan's accusations. When the judgment occurs, God will fully vindicate His name and justice before all creation. The document examines biblical passages about Lucifer's rebellion and fall, as well as quotes discussing how Christ's sacrifice upheld God's law and how the judgment will reveal God to
The document provides a summary of Lesson 9 from a Bible study series. It discusses the relationship between sin, the law, and salvation. Some key points include:
- The law was given through Moses but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the perfect example of obeying the law.
- The law shows us what sin is and makes us aware of our need for salvation. It points out our faults but does not save us from sin.
- God gave the law to Israel to be an example to other nations of His moral code. While Israel failed at times, the law was meant to bless others, not burden them.
- All people have a sense of God's law
The document discusses the Christian concept of atonement, which refers to God reconciling humanity through Jesus Christ. It explains that atonement involves Jesus taking on the punishment for human sin and dying in our place to satisfy God's justice and restore fellowship between God and humanity. The key points are:
1) Atonement involves Jesus bearing the punishment for our sins as our substitute on the cross in order to make amends for human wrongdoing and reconcile us to God.
2) While Jesus took on human sin, he was not himself a sinner - he was sinless. He willingly took the penalty for human sin to defeat sin, death, and Satan.
3) Jesus' death
God's love is unconditional in that he loves his people despite their disposition toward him. God demonstrated his unconditional love by sending his son Jesus Christ to die for sinners while they were still rebelling against God. As Christians, we need to understand that while God's electing and regenerating love is unconditional, his saving love is conditional upon faith in Jesus Christ. God's love is shown through his gracious act of sacrificing Jesus to save mankind from sin and reconcile them to himself.
The document discusses the significance of Jesus Christ's crucifixion on the cross. It explains that though crucifixion was the worst form of execution, Jesus chose it to demonstrate his great love for humanity. As a sinless man, Jesus took the punishment for mankind's sins by dying on the cross. His death and resurrection bring forgiveness of sins and hope to all who believe in the gospel message that Christ died for our sins. The cross represents the greatest event in history and the means by which people can be reconciled to God.
Jesus completely trusted in God. When crucified, his enemies mocked him by quoting Psalm 22:8, saying "He trusts in God, let God rescue him if he wants him." However, Jesus continued trusting God even to his death, commending his spirit to God as he died. Throughout his life and ministry, Jesus obeyed God fully and trusted him completely, even unto death on the cross.
The document examines evidence for Jesus being God, including prophecies about him from the Old Testament that were fulfilled, miracles he performed, and testimony from the New Testament and early Christians. It notes there were over 300 prophecies about the Messiah's first coming that were all fulfilled in Jesus. The odds of anyone fulfilling just 8 prophecies are 1 in 100 quadrillion, demonstrating the supernatural nature of the Bible. The document concludes the evidence confirms Jesus is God as he claimed.

This document summarizes the key events of Pentecost from Acts 2:1-41. It describes how the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles as tongues of fire, allowing them to speak in different languages. Peter gave a sermon explaining this was the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy. He preached about Jesus' death and resurrection according to scripture and that God had made Jesus both Lord and Christ. About 3,000 people were baptized after being cut to the heart by Peter's message.
The document discusses the gospel message found throughout the Bible. It begins by noting the unity of the gospel across many books, languages, and centuries. It then explores key aspects of the gospel: that Jesus died to take away sins, that faith and action are required for salvation, and that baptism unites believers with Christ's death and resurrection, freeing them from sin. The gospel offers the free gift of eternal life through God's grace.
This document provides an introduction to the book of Romans. It discusses how Romans explains what Jesus has done for believers and wants to do in them. It notes that Romans shows how God sees people as sinners in need of a Savior, and that God sent Jesus to take the death penalty for sins so people can have fellowship with God now and eternally. The document then provides background on the book, the author Paul, and the early believers in Rome.
1) God demonstrated His unconditional love by sending Jesus to die for humanity while we were still sinners. Through His death, Christ reconciled humans to God and allows God to forgive sins.
2) The Jewish law required death to atone for sins, which animal sacrifices could not fulfill. Jesus' sacrifice on the cross paid the full price for sins once and for all.
3) By faith in Christ's sacrifice, God can now legally justify sinners.
This document outlines six steps to finding peace, joy, and eternal life through Jesus Christ: 1) Admit you have sinned, 2) Accept that Jesus died for your sins, 3) Repent by being sorry for sins and committing to live for God, 4) Be baptized in water in Jesus' name, 5) Receive the Holy Spirit, and 6) Attend church regularly and read the Bible daily. It encourages readers to follow these steps to enter a personal relationship with God and find inner peace despite life's difficulties.
1) Jesus came in human form to condemn sin and fulfill the righteousness required by God's law.
2) The law could not save people from sin due to human weakness, so God sent Jesus to die as a sin offering so he could condemn sin.
3) Through faith in Christ, believers are no longer condemned but are empowered to live righteous lives according to God's spirit, fulfilling the ultimate purpose of the law.
The document discusses the doctrine of justification through faith in Jesus Christ. It provides several key observations about justification: 1) It is based solely on the blood of Jesus, not any righteousness within the person; 2) It declares a person righteous in God's sight, rather than making them inherently righteous; 3) It is an all-or-nothing status rather than a graded scale; 4) It goes beyond a mere pardon by satisfying justice through Christ's atoning sacrifice. Justification is received through faith alone as the instrument, and it is a permanent status rather than something that must be regained after sins.

Extreme point-of-views have always existed when it comes to receiving the truth of God's word. It was no different when the apostle Paul wrote to brethren reminding them of the powerful gospel message, which upholds (establishes) the Law. Rom. 3:31
This is a study of the perfect life of Jesus which was free of all sin. This makes Him one of a kind, for no other person has ever lived a sinless life. Yet He became sin for us and was sacrificed for us. He was tempted as we are, but without sin.
The document summarizes key points from Romans chapter 5 about sin and salvation. It discusses how sin entered the world through Adam, bringing death to all people, and how God provided salvation through Jesus Christ. It explains that people are justified by faith in Christ, not by works, and that grace abounds much more than sin due to God's gift of salvation. The greatest gift from God was giving his Son to save humanity from sin and death.
This document contains a summary of key differences between law and grace. It discusses how grace came through Jesus Christ after the law was given through Moses. Some key points include:
- Grace forgives all sins for those who believe in Jesus, while the law reveals and condemns sin.
- Under grace we are not judged or accused for our sins, as Jesus paid our sin debt and delivers us from bondage and accusation.
- Grace brings freedom and life through the Spirit, while the law brings death and bondage due to human inability to fulfill it.
- Jesus humbled himself and gave up everything to save us from sin and death, demonstrating God's grace.
We were all born as sinners due to Adam's actions, but through Jesus's death we can be freed from sin's control. When we accept Jesus as our Lord, we are liberated from our sinful nature because we died with Christ on the cross and our old sinful selves have been put off. As Christians, we must reckon that we are dead to sin through faith in Christ so that we no longer have to be enslaved by sin, though we can still choose to sin.
1) In order to save mankind, God united our sinful human nature with Christ's divine nature so that Christ could legally act as our substitute and representative.
2) Through His perfect life and sacrificial death, Christ satisfied all legal demands and qualified us for salvation by changing our status from condemned to justified.
3) We can only receive this salvation by faith, as it is a free gift from God through Christ and not earned through works.
This document discusses the humanity and divinity of Jesus Christ based on a sermon about the Person and Work of Christ. It makes three key points:
1) Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, with both a true human body and soul, yet is only one person, not two. He experienced human pleasure, pain, sorrow and delight.
2) It was necessary for Jesus to be born of a virgin and take on human flesh in order to redeem sinful humanity and fulfill prophecies. As both God and man, he could act as the mediator between God and mankind.
3) Unlike fallen humans who are unable to not sin, Jesus was able to live a sinless life because of
This document is an excerpt from the book "Fruits of Righteousness" by Jerry Savelle. In this excerpt, Savelle discusses the concept of righteousness and how believers can walk in righteousness based on their new identity in Christ. He explains that through Jesus' sacrifice, believers have received the free gift of righteousness and are no longer defined by their past sins but are made righteous. Savelle encourages developing a consciousness of one's righteous standing before God based on faith in God's word rather than feelings or outward appearance. The goal is for believers to produce the same fruits of righteousness that Jesus demonstrated through abiding in him.

Thread:
After reading "The Gospel Message" article in the Module/Week 4 Reading & Study folder, answer the following questions (250–500 words). These questions are to be answered in separate paragraphs.
What are some ways the Christian gospel is perceived in our culture?
What are some specific moral reasons people may reject the Christian gospel?
What are some specific emotional reasons people may reject the Christian gospel?
What are some specific intellectual reasons people may reject the Christian gospel?
What can Christians do to address these objections and better communicate the Christian gospel?
The Gospel Message
The Apostle Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek” (Romans 1:16).
Paul should know, since his life was radically transformed when Jesus confronted him on the road to Damascus (Acts 9, 26:4–18).
Once he knew Jesus and His power, nothing held him back from telling others about the risen Christ.
He shared this gospel, the “good news,” with anyone who would listen to him, regardless of their religion or moral background.
Paul once wrote to a group of Christians telling them about this gospel.
He said:
Moreover, brothers, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
Be assured, this same gospel that changed and motivated Paul is for you and me today.
In understanding the gospel message we find out that:
Jesus paid the price for our sins (I Peter 3:18).
Our sins can be forgiven (Ephesians 1:7).
We can have eternal life by trusting in Him (John 3:15).
The word “gospel” is mentioned over 100 times in the Bible by Jesus and His disciples.
Jesus was the source and subject of this good news.
Jesus began his ministry by sharing this central truth, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent, and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15).
Jesus personally shared the gospel with those who listened to Him and today He is sharing it through the Bible and those who know and follow Him.
He wants everyone to believe this gospel.
But why is the gospel needed and how do people come to
understand clearly what it means to become a follower of Christ and believe this gospel
message?
The Problem
The problem is that all people are born sinners and sin separates them from God.
“Your [sins] have separated you from your God” (Isaiah 59:2).
The problem started in the Garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve were given clear instructions by God.
They were free to eat of any tree in the gar.
The document discusses the cross of Christ and its significance for salvation. It explains that through Christ's death on the cross, all of humanity died with Him as our representative, freeing us from the condemnation of sin and the power of sin. Believers must accept that they died with Christ on the cross in order to be made alive in Him and empowered to live holy lives. The cross is how God solved the problem of how an innocent person could die for the guilty, through Christ becoming our substitute and taking our place under the condemnation of sin.
Jesus died on the cross to provide forgiveness of sins for all humanity. Due to our inherent sinful nature, we were condemned to death and eternal damnation, with no way to save ourselves. Jesus, who was sinless, willingly sacrificed himself as the atonement for our sins. By accepting Jesus' sacrifice through faith, we can receive salvation and eternal life with God. His death demonstrates God's love and provides the only means by which we can be reconciled to God and escape the wages of sin, which is death.
1) The passage compares the effects of Adam's sin to the effects of Jesus Christ's sacrifice.
2) Adam's one sin of disobedience brought sin and death to all mankind, while Christ's one act of obedience through his sacrifice brought forgiveness of sins and righteousness to all who believe.
3) The effects of Christ's sacrifice are greater than the effects of Adam's sin - where Adam's sin condemned humanity, Christ's sacrifice brings justification, and his grace and righteousness reign eternally for believers.

The document discusses the end times and finding rest in Christ. It summarizes that:
1) The world is facing serious issues as end times events are fulfilled, but believers can find rest in Christ amid the troubles.
2) Jesus promised he will return and believers should remain faithful until then, finding rest in his promises.
3) When Christ returns, believers will receive ultimate rest in the new Earth with God for eternity.
Jonah initially refused God's call to preach to Nineveh because he did not want to warn his enemies. He tried to flee by boat to Tarshish instead of obeying God. God sent a storm and a large fish to intervene. After being rescued, Jonah fulfilled his mission. The Ninevites repented greatly upon hearing Jonah's short message. However, Jonah was still unhappy that God forgave Nineveh. God used the example of a plant to help Jonah understand that God's mercy and concern extends to all people. In the end, both Nineveh and Jonah learned to accept God's love and forgiveness.
El documento habla sobre el descanso que los creyentes pueden tener a pesar de los problemas en el mundo. Aunque el mundo está lleno de tribulaciones, los que confían en Dios pueden descansar sabiendo que Él controla el futuro y ha prometido un descanso eterno. El documento también dice que aunque los que han muerto descansan temporalmente, el verdadero descanso final solo se alcanzará cuando Cristo regrese.
Jonás encontró descanso en Dios hasta que Dios le pidió predicar a los enemigos de Israel en Nínive. Al ser enviado a Nínive, Jonás huyó por temor a que Dios perdonara a los ninivitas. Aunque fue salvado de morir en el mar, Jonás continuó sin encontrar paz interior hasta que aprendió que Dios ama a todos los pueblos por igual.
The document summarizes symbols presented in the New Testament that point to spiritual truths. It discusses how Paul viewed the crossing of the Red Sea as a symbol of baptism, and how John the Baptist saw animal sacrifices at the Temple as a symbol of Jesus redeeming people. It also examines how the book of Hebrews presents the Sabbath in creation and entering the promised land as symbols of the rest God gives believers. The document explores these symbols and their deeper meanings, emphasizing how they point to spiritual realities about following Christ.
El documento resume cómo los autores del Nuevo Testamento usan historias del Antiguo Testamento como símbolos de realidades espirituales. Por ejemplo, Pablo ve el cruce del Mar Rojo como símbolo del bautismo, y en Hebreos el sábado de la Creación y la conquista de Canaán simbolizan el descanso que Dios ofrece. El documento también explora cómo otros eventos como los sacrificios en el Templo prefiguran la redención de Jesús.
The document discusses the Sabbath and what it means to keep the Sabbath holy. It provides several key points about the Sabbath:
1) The Sabbath is a day of rest dedicated to God to remember God's power in creation and our role as stewards.
2) It is meant to be a day of thankfulness for our liberation from sin and a reminder of God's plan for our full communion with Him.
3) Rather than just physical rest, the Sabbath involves serving others through acts of love, mercy, and benevolence without limits of time or place.
El documento resume las diferentes formas en que el sábado nos recuerda nuestra relación con Dios, incluyendo recordar su poder como Creador, agradecerle por liberarnos del pecado a través de Jesús, y servir a otros como parte de nuestra adoración a Dios.
The document discusses the importance and meaning of the Sabbath. It summarizes that the Sabbath reminds us that God created us and redeemed us from slavery. It is a day for resting with God and having communion with our Creator. The Sabbath points to Jesus as our Creator and Redeemer and the promise that one day we will live with Him forever in a new creation without sin or stress.
El documento habla sobre el significado del sábado como día de descanso y comunión con Dios. El sábado recuerda que Dios nos creó y nos redimió de la esclavitud, y es un día para descansar de nuestras tareas y pasar tiempo con el Creador. También señala a Jesús como nuestro Creador y Redentor, con quien compartiremos la eternidad.
Este documento resume dos historias bíblicas sobre la enfermedad y el desánimo. La primera historia trata sobre un paralítico que Jesús curó después de perdonar sus pecados. La segunda historia trata sobre Elías, quien cayó en un profundo desánimo después de ser amenazado por Jezabel, pero Dios lo consoló y le dio nuevas tareas. El documento también discute las causas de la enfermedad y el desánimo, y cómo Jesús y Dios ofrecen descanso y consuelo.
This document summarizes two biblical stories about individuals who faced physical or spiritual sickness and discouragement, and the lessons we can learn from them. The paralytic man's illness was caused by his sinful life, but his friends cared for him and Jesus forgave his sins and healed him. Elijah faced discouragement when threatened by Jezebel, but found rest and encouragement from God who assigned him new purpose and tasks. Both examples show that through faith in God, forgiveness, and his love, one can find healing and hope even in suffering.
Joseph was imprisoned for two more years after being released from prison. When the Pharaoh had strange dreams, the butler remembered Joseph's ability to interpret dreams. Joseph interpreted the dreams to mean there would be seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine. He advised Pharaoh to store grain during the abundant years. As a result, Pharaoh promoted Joseph to first minister and gave him a high position in Egypt. During the first year of famine, Joseph's brothers came to Egypt for food and Joseph had to decide whether to punish or forgive them for their past treatment of him.
La historia cuenta cómo José perdonó a sus hermanos que lo habían vendido como esclavo años atrás. Cuando José se convirtió en primer ministro de Egipto y sus hermanos viajaron allí durante una hambruna, él los reconoció pero no se reveló. Probó la sinceridad de su arrepentimiento antes de reconciliarse con ellos. José perdonó porque comprendió que Dios había usado lo malo para un bien mayor y porque creía en perdonar como Dios los perdona a nosotros.
This document summarizes a lesson about Joseph from the Bible. It discusses how Joseph came from a dysfunctional family but learned lessons of faith from them. As a young man, Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery in Egypt after becoming jealous of him. Though facing difficulties, Joseph maintained his faith in God. He found favor with his masters and rose to a position of leadership overseeing other slaves. His faith and moral character helped him overcome conflicts and challenges.
José tuvo una familia disfuncional pero aprendió a confiar en Dios. Fue vendido como esclavo a Egipto pero continuó aplicando los principios bíblicos. Aunque fue acusado falsamente y enviado a prisión, se ganó la confianza de los demás presos y del jefe de la cárcel.
El documento analiza el significado del descanso en Cristo mencionado en Mateo 11:28-30. Explica que Jesús ofrece un descanso basado en su divinidad y unidad con el Padre. Este descanso se obtiene cuando nos sentimos cansados y cargados y le llevamos nuestras cargas a Jesús para que se haga cargo de ellas. Al aceptar el yugo de Cristo, nos sometemos a su voluntad y trabajamos con Él para llevar a cabo su obra.
This document provides a summary of Matthew 11:28-30 about finding rest in Christ. It examines the context of the passage and what it means to take Christ's yoke. Key points include: 1) Jesus offers rest because he is one with God; 2) To find rest, we must feel the need for it and bring our burdens to Jesus; 3) Christ's yoke makes burdens easier to carry as we submit to his will. The yoke represents submitting to God's law of liberty rather than heavy burdens of works or slavery. With Christ's strength, his yoke is light.
David committed adultery with Bathsheba and arranged for her husband Uriah to be killed. He tried to conceal his sins but was confronted by Nathan. David repented and confessed his sins. Though forgiven, David still faced consequences for his actions, including the death of his child with Bathsheba. However, through repentance, David was able to find joy in God's salvation again. True repentance requires a changed heart and relying on God rather than oneself to resist sin going forward. David's story shows both the possibility of forgiveness for even grave sins, as well as the consequences of sin despite repentance.

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

2. MEMORY TEXT: “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” (Rom. 5:1, 2).
3. Paul has established the point that justification, or acceptance with God, comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, for His righteousness alone is enough to give us the right standing with our Lord. Building on that great truth, Paul now expounds more on this theme. Showing that salvation has to be by faith and not by works, not even for some-one as “righteous” as Abraham, Paul in a sense steps back and looks at the big picture—at what caused sin and suffering and death and how the solution is found in Christ and what He’s done for the human race. INTRODUCTION:
4. Through the fall of one man, Adam, all humanity faced con-demnation, alienation, and death; through the victory of one man, Jesus, all the world was placed on a new footing before God, one in which, by faith in Jesus, the record of their sins and the punishment due those sins could be remit-ted, could be forgiven and for-ever pardoned. Paul contrasts Adam and Jesus, showing how Christ came to undo what Adam did and that by faith the victims of Adam’s sin could be rescued by Jesus, the Savior. The foundation of it all is the cross of Christ and His substitutionary death there—which opens the way for every human being, Jew or Gentile, to be saved by Jesus, who with His blood brought justification to all who accept Him. Surely this is a theme worth expounding upon, for it’s the foundation of all our hope.
5. 1.- Therefore, Being Justified “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” (Rom. 5:1-5)
6. “Justificados” es literalmente “habiendo sido justificados”. El verbo griego presenta la acción como completada. Hemos sido declarados justos no por obras de la ley, sino porque hemos aceptado a Jesús. La vida perfecta de Jesús, su perfecta observancia de la ley, nos ha sido acreditada. Al mismo tiempo, todos nuestros pecados han sido puestos sobre Jesús. Dios considera que Jesús cometió esos pecados, no nosotros, y de ese modo somos exceptuados del castigo que merecíamos. Ese castigo recayó sobre Cristo, en favor nuestro, para que nunca tuviéramos que afrontarlo nosotros mismos. ¡Qué noticia más gloriosa para el pecador! “Being justified” is literally “having been justified.” The Greek verb represents the action as completed. We have been declared righteous, or regarded as righteous, not through any deeds of law but through our having accepted Jesus Christ. The perfect life that Jesus lived on this earth, His perfect law-keeping, has been credited to us. At the same time, all of our sins have been laid on Jesus. God has reckoned that Jesus committed those sins, not us, and that way we can be spared the punishment that we deserve. That punishment fell on Christ for us, in behalf of us, so that we never have to face it ourselves. What more glorious news could there be for the sinner?
7. 2.- God Seeking Humanity “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righ-teous man, though for a good man 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. (Rom.5:6-8). When Adam and Eve shamefully and inexcusably transgressed the divine requirement, God took the first steps toward reconciliation. Ever since, God has taken the initiative in providing a way of salvation and in inviting men and women to accept it. “When the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son”(Gal. 4:4).
8. “Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!” (Rom.5:9). As the blood on the doorposts of the Israelites in Egypt on the eve of their departure protected the firstborn from the wrath that befell Egypt’s firstborn, so the blood of Jesus Christ guarantees that one who has been justified and retains that status will be protected when God’s wrath finally destroys sin at the end of the age.
9. ALL THE CREATION OF GOD HAS BEING CONTAMINATED AND DEVASTATED Some folk struggle with the idea of a loving God having wrath. But it’s precisely because of His love that this wrath exists. How could God, who loves the world, not have wrath against sin? Were He indifferent to us, He would not care about what happens here. Look around at the world and see what sin has done to His creation. How could God not be wrathful against such evil and devastation?
10. Another reasons to rejoice? (Rom. 5:10, 11.) Some commentators have seen in verse 10 a reference to the life that Christ lived on this earth, during which He wrought a perfect character that He now offers to credit to us. Though this is certainly what Christ’s perfect life accomplished, Paul seems to be emphasizing the fact that whereas Christ died, He rose again and is alive forevermore (see Heb. 7:25). Because He lives, we are saved. If He had remained in the tomb, our hopes would have perished with Him. Verse 11 continues with the reasons that we have to rejoice in the Lord, and that’s because of what Jesus has accomplished for us.
11. 3.- Death Swallowed Up Death is an enemy, the ultimate one. When God created the human family, He designed that its members should live forever. With few exceptions humans do not want to die, and those who do, do so only after the greatest personal anguish and suffering. Death goes against our most basic nature. And that’s because, from inception, we were created to live forever. Death was to be unknown to us.
12. “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 sinned” (Rom.5:12) Commentators have argued more over this passage of Scripture than over most others. Perhaps the reason is, as noted in The SDABC, vol. 6, p. 529, that these commentators “attempt to use the passage for purposes other than Paul intended.”
13. Paul reemphasize what he already stated, “for all have sinned” (Rom. 3:23). We need to recognize that we are sinners, because only that way will we realize our need of a Savior. Paul here was trying to get readers to realize just how bad sin is and what it brought into this world through Adam. Then he shows what God offers us in Jesus as the only remedy to the tragedy brought upon our world through Adam’s sin.
14. Yet, this text tells only of the problem, death in Adam —not the solution, life in Christ. One of the most glorious aspects of the gospel is that death has been swallowed up in life. Jesus passed through the portals of the tomb and burst its bonds. He says, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Because Jesus has the keys, the enemy can no longer hold his victims in the grave.
15. 4.- Law Awakens Need What is Paul talking about here? The phrase “until the law” is paralleled with the statement “from Adam to Moses.” He is talking about the time in the world from creation to Sinai, before the formal introduction of the rules and laws of the Israelite system, which included, of course, the Ten Commandments. “Until the law” means until the detailing of God’s requirements in the various laws given to Israel at Sinai. Sin existed before Sinai. How could it not? Were lying, killing, adultery, and idolatry not sinful until then? Of course they were. “Until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come” (Rom. 5:13, 14).
16. It is true that prior to Sinai the human race generally had only a limited revelation of God, but they obviously knew enough to be held accountable. God is just and isn’t going to punish anyone unfairly. People in the pre-Sinai world died, as Paul here points out. Death pas-sed upon all. Though they had not sinned against an expressly revealed command, they had sinned nevertheless. They had the revelations of God in nature, to which they had not responded and thus were held guilty. “The invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen . . . ; so that they are without excuse” (Rom. 1:20).
17. “The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Rom. 5:20-21)
18. The instruction given at Sinai included the moral law, though it had existed before then. This was the first time, however, according to the Bible, that this law was written and widely proclaimed. When the Israelites began to compare themselves with the divine requirements, they discovered that they fell far short. In other words, “the offense” abounded. They suddenly realized the extent of their transgressions. The purpose of such a revelation was to help them to see their need of a Savior and to drive them to accept the grace so freely offered by God. As stressed before, the true version of the Old Testament faith was not legalistic.
19. 5.- The Second Adam “Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justi-fication that brings life for all men. For just as through the disobe-dience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.” (Rom.5:18-19.)
20. As humans, we received nothing from Adam but the sentence of death. Christ, however, stepped in and passed over the ground where Adam fell, enduring every test in humanity’s behalf. He redeemed Adam’s disgraceful failure and fall, and, thus, as our Subs-titute, He placed us on vantage ground with God. Hence, Jesus is the “Second Adam.” “The second Adam was a free moral agent, held respon-sible for his conduct. Surrounded by intensely subtle and misleading influences, He was much less favorably situated than was the first Adam to lead a sinless life. Yet in the midst of sinners He resisted every temptation to sin, and maintained His innocency. He was ever sinless.”—EGW Comments, SDABC, vol. 6, p. 1074.
21. “Many are deceived concerning the condition of their hearts. They do not realize that the natural heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. They wrap themselves about with their own righteous- ness, and are satisfied in reaching their own human standard of character.”— (E GW. SM, book 1, p. 320.) “There is great need that Christ should be preached as the only hope and salvation. When the doctrine of justi- fication by faith was presented . . . , it came to many as water comes to the thirsty traveler. The thought that the righteousness of Christ is imputed to us, not because of any merit on our part, but as a free gift from God, seemed a precious thought.” — (EGW, SM, book 1, p. 360.) “Trial is part of the education given in the school of Christ, to purify God’s children from the dross of earthliness. It is because God is leading His children that trying experiences come to them. Trials and obstacles are His chosen methods of discipline, and His appointed conditions of success. He who reads the hearts of men knows their weaknesses better than they themselves can know them. He sees that some have qualifications which, if rightly directed, could be used in the advancement of His work.”— (EGW, AA, p. 524).
