Sermons About Justification
Jesus is Not Your Homeboy (Exodus 3)
If faith in the gospel transforms us......why don't we obey Jesus?? 1.) We need to know who we are dealing with! Jesus is God and our God is a consuming fire! 2.) We need to know who we are! We are all sinners saved by grace and it is by that grace that we are consumed in the fire! 3.) Take your doggone shoes off! Draw near to God and be afraid! 4.) Let know who have ears......listen!

What Is Christianity
Most in our culture and most who attend churches do not know what the gospel is and what Christianity is about. We each need to be able to explain our faith to others and are charged by Christ to present the good news of his Gospel to all people. This same message of the forgiveness begins in the early part of the Old Testament and continues through the New Testament.

Biblical Repentance 8 - The Miracle Needed for Sanctification 2
The reason I am preaching this passage this morning is two fold. I want to press on you the understanding that sanctification will always follow justification. Second, I want all of us to have a firm understanding that we are never left to ourselves to sanctify ourselves. We must rely completely on God and allow Him through the work of the Holy Spirit to lead us into more and more holiness not so that we can look at ourselves but rather so He can use us as He sees fit. Sanctification will never please the flesh. Sanctification will never make you comfortable. Becoming like Christ who learned obedience through what He suffered will often leave us scratching our heads and wondering what the Lord is doing. But what He is doing is making us holy.

Biblical Repentance 7 - The Miracle Needed for Sanctification
In Psalm 51:10-12 David gives six actions that the Lord must accomplish for our sanctification. I will not try to cover all six today but will attempt to cover the first two from verse 10. Let me give these two actions that the Lord must accomplish for our sanctification from verse 10. 1. The Lord must give us a heart transplant. 2. The Lord must give us a renewed spirit. The reason I am going to camp out here for a while is because of the great misunderstanding in our day regarding salvation and sanctification. There are those who believe that one can be saved and never have any evidence of sanctification at all.

The Two Adams
In Romans 5:12-21 Paul talks to us about Adam and Jesus Christ, the two 'federal heads' or representatives of mankind. Adam represented all of humanity and led us into sin, death and damnation. But Jesus Christ represents the new humanity and leads us into eternal life and blessing.

Rejoicing in the Benefits of Justification
Romans 5:1-5 There are many things in life that provide benefits - where you are born, the country you live in, the company you work for, the insurance you purchase. All of these provide benefits to us because of our membership in them. Even your marriage provides numerous benefits that we often take for granted. Unfortunately, many in our society do not fully or accurately understand the institute of marriage and the benefits that come with membership in such a union. Some of the benefits include lifelong companionship, immense happiness, the opportunity to have children, a chance to work on our selfishness through sanctification, the privilege of loving someone unconditionally from the heart, and to live out the analogy of the union of the church and Jesus Christ. But, these benefits come after marriage - not before. This makes the privileges of the church all the more amazing. As the bride of Christ, the church enjoys the benefits that come with being wed to our Lord Jesus Christ. These are the innumerable benefits of justification. Justification is the process employed by God in which He considers all of our sins to be forgiven and views those He forgives as righteous. When we are justified, God treats us as if we had never sinned at all. In today's message, Pastor Tyson teaches from Romans 5 about the benefits of justification. We see that those who have repented of their sins and through faith have been justified by the grace of God have much to rejoice in. Five benefits of justification we have that enable us to rejoice in the body of Christ include: 1. Peace with God (v. 1) 2. Access to God (v. 2a) 3. Hope in God (v. 2b) 4. Character of God (vv. 3-4) 5. Assurance in God (v. 5) Prior to justification, we are enemies of God. Indeed, before we are justified by God, He is at war with us. Are you at peace with God or are you still battling with Him? You can find your peace with Him through His son, the Lord Jesus Christ. We should thank God that He loves us enough to provide for us a means by which we can have peace with Him. It is through His only Son Jesus Christ. May we rejoice in our justification on this day as the Lord continues to pour out His blessings through His love.
