Romans 3: 21 – 26
V21 “But now a righteousness from God apart from law has been known to which the law and prophets testify.” This scripture is saying the law and prophets. (The Bible) teaches of a righteousness from God apart from the law.
This is a way to be right with God………without having to keep any religious laws. This was good news to everyone because they realized that they couldn’t keep the law 100%, and they kept failing, so the idea of being right with God without having to keep the law was amazing!
V22 “This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.”
• Those who put their faith in Jesus, receive this righteousness from God
• Having Faith in Jesus is “not work”…….. you didn’t do anything……you cannot be proud of it…….. it’s surrendering to Jesus.
V24 “We are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus”
• Justified when you believe in Jesus, in God;s books you are just as if you did not sin
• It’s for free…………. You did not pay for it, by hid grace, not by our works
• Through the redemption that came by Christ. Through the blood of Jesus which purchased our salvation. In the old testament when they sinned, they had to find a sacrifice so that god wouldn’t sacrifice them. At the cross, Jesus himself provided a sacrifice for us.
• When you consider this old creation (SEED) when it is in the soil, it relies on its own food storage to survive………..when it becomes a New Crewtion it relies on the sun, air etc.
• When you were an old creation, you relied on yourself, and lived for yourself, dead to sin………..but now that you are a New Creation, you rely on the (air) spirit, the sun (son of God)
In view of such GRACE, how then shall we live as “NEW CREATIONS?”
A maize plant is Very different from the seed. The New Creation is very different from the Old. Unfortunately, we have people who declare they are new creations, but they are not much different from the world.
1. We shall not live our lives trying to earn our salvation through works – we are already New Creations
2. We should live lives in obedience to god, as part of our worship to him. GRACE is not an excuse to sin…..infact, we should want to do good and please him.
3. Our lives should shine for Jesus.
Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
• Your fields should be the best in the village because you are a New Creation. What has happened in your heart should be seen in how you do your work.
• The way you treat your wife should be different because you are a New Creation.
