Sermons About Justification
The Justification of Sinners (Romans 8:1)
Paul turns in Romans 8 to consider the amazing privileges of the justification that he has spelled out in the preceding chapters. The sinner's cry for deliverance at the end of Romans 7 is answered in this: in Christ there is no condemnation. We review the nature of our sin and guilt, the wonderful goodness of God in providing propitiation and reconciliation for us, and finally how this comes about -- through our union with Christ.

The Death of Jesus Christ
Peter teaches that Jesus bore our sins in His body on the tree. What does that mean? Why did this happen? What exactly happened on the cross? Why does any of this matter? These are the questions we addressed this week as we looked at the death of Jesus Christ.

Living in Freedom (Romans 6:12-14)
Because Jesus has become propitiation for our sins, satisfying God's wrath and giving us his perfect righteousness, we are set free from the power and rule of sin. Therefore, since sin has no power over us, we have the ability to resist it, and as God's redeemed people we have the responsibility to resist it. Not only that, but we are to present ourselves to God, giving ourselves to the pursuit of him and to obedience to his will. We have been taken out of the dominion of sin and are now under the dominion of grace.
