Justification

Romans_5-1: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Text
Romans 5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

 
What Is Justification?
Justification is God’s act of removing the guilt and penalty of sin while at the same time declaring a sinner righteous through Christ’s atoning sacrifice.

What Gives Us The Assurance That We Are Saved? We Are Born Again Christians?

Romans 10:9-13
9 For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.

11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who believes in him will not be disappointed.”

12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They all have the same Lord, who generously gives his riches to all who ask for them.

13 For “Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

 
Introduction:
Many people confuse justification with forgiveness. They are two different things.
Justification is more than forgiveness.
To justify means to declare righteous. The law and justice of God demands death as the penalty of sin, but the mercy of God rescue sinners from death.

Romans 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN JUSTIFICATION?
1. The first one is that not only is the sin forgiven, but also the guilt and punishment of that sin is removed far from the sinner.

Micah 7:18-19
18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

2. The second one is that the perfect and righteousness of God is given to the sinner through faith in Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:22
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference.

HOW CAN YOU RECEIVE JUSTIFICATION?
1. Have faith and believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for your sins.

Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

2. Cry to the Lord for mercy. Therefore, if you want to be justified believe that Jesus Christ died for you and call on God to be merciful on you, a miserable sinner.

Luke 18:13-14.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Conclusion:
While sin condemns, Christ justifies and sets free.

Thank You Jesus.

John_3-17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved

Romans_8-1:There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit

CARNALITY

1-Corinthians_6-20: For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

1-Corinthians_6-19: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own

TEXT: Romans 8: 5-8.

 
INTRODUCTION:

Carnality causes spiritual drought. How to know a carnal Christian is our focus today? May God deliver us from all forms of carnality.

 
MARKS OF CARNALITY.

 
A carnal Christian has the following characteristics:

 
i. He or she is mostly concerned with things that will gratify the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and pride of life.

 
ii. He or she is not truly interested in the things of the spirit.

 
iii. He is never far from sin.

 
iv. Enjoys anything that will feed his ego.

 
v. Enjoys doing good for others to see and praise him.

 
vi. Loves the world and its worldly system. 1Jn.2: 15-17.

 
vii. Sees nothing wrong with exposing her body to create lust in the hearts of men and compel them to do her bidding.

 
viii. Does not see anything wrong in cheating in the examination hall as long as success is achieved.

 
ix. He is one who has refused to grow. 1Cor.3: 1-4.

 
x. He is satisfied with being just a member of the church; he refuses to take steps to become a worker. He is a perpetual babe.

 
xi. He cannot accept the doctrine of restitution and cannot forgive those who wronged him.

 
xii. Engages in envy, strife and divisions.

CONCLUSION:

A carnal man or woman is in opposition to God and therefore he or she is inviting death. If you have been carnal, your spirit cannot hear from God, hence, spiritual famine will set in. therefore break away from every act of carnality today.

Thank You Jesus.

PARTIAL OBEDIENCE

Galatians_3-13-1: Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree

Romans_6-14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

TEXT: 1 Samuel 15: 1-23.

 
INTRODUCTION:

Partial obedience means incomplete obedience to the instructions of God. It also means toying with divine instructions. 1Sam.13: 1-14; 1Sam.15: 1-23. It is synonymous with disobedience.

 
Disobedience is in the same class with rebellion, witchcraft, stubbornness and idolatry. 1 Sam.15: 22-23. It is a sin which God does not tolerate.

 
THOSE WHO DISOBEY GOD

 
Those who disobey God have problems of submitting to divine authority, and impatience – they see God as too slow or late for them. 1Sam.13: 1-14. They tend to think that they know more than God and they lack obedient heart. Another thing about them is that they see no difference between the word of God and that of men e.g. King Saul. 1Sam.13: 1-14; 1Sam.15: 1-23.

THE PENALTY

 
The penalty for partial obedience (disobedience) includes:

 
– It leads to rejection and loss of crown e.g. King Saul.

 
– It attracts curses. Deut.11: 28; Dan.9: 16.

 
– Disobedience is fighting God. Such battle can never be won. Numb.20: 10-12.

 
– It leads to death. 1 Sam.15:3-9.

 
– It opens door to spiritual famine.

 
CONCLUSION:

If your obedience to God’s instructions has been partial or incomplete, confess, repent and restitute so that you can escape God’s judgment.

Thank You Jesus.

Joshua_1-8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success

Romans_8-2: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
