Sermons About Condemnation
Romans 8:28-39 Living Free in Christ 6
We are either living according to the “Flesh†(Our self-saving, god-mitigating self), or we are living according to the Spirit (Grace, forgiveness, justification). Our salvation is wholly the work of God in our lives, and not our own mechanisms that often fill in the “Gospel Gaps,†that take place of the real gospel of God’s grace in a person’s life. This is where it all hinges on this doctrine of predestination. Our comfort and hope is in this reality, not our own strength, and religious ways to feel righteous. It simply isn’t up to you, but up to the God “who didn’t spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all.â€

Part One: Deliverance from Our Suffering John 19:1-42 1. The suffering of Christ involved rebukes and condemnation.

Does God love you?
Cliff asks whether God loves us despite all the pain and suffering in our life. He explains that God is just and could not ignore our sins. Instead He sent his Son to the world to pay for all the sins of the world. God then gives us the choice to accept redemption through Christ out of love and respect of Him or to refuse His gift of eternal life.
