Sermons About Vindication
The Vindication of God in the Promise of Redemption
God will vindicate all of the promises that He has made in Scripture in the redemption of His people. And that is done in His time and not ours. And what I want you to see this morning from verses 39-40 are the two ways that God vindicated His promises in the ultimate act of redemption.

Real Biblical Faith Will be Vindicated in the Victorious Lives of God's People
Real, Biblical, saving faith is vindicated in the victorious lives of God's people. This is going to be broken down into two sub points that I will deal with this morning. In the victorious Christian life there is much testing. There are many days of walking through the valley of difficulty and trouble in order to finally achieve that mountaintop of success. That mountaintop of success will be the final vindication of faith by God in Heaven. And in the Christian life there are several paths that God may call us to follow on our path to that mountaintop.

Biblical Faith is Vindicated in the Judgment of the Wicked
God will vindicate real faith. Real faith, not false faith, will be proven by God to be true. And that ultimate vindication will come in the judgment of the wicked both temporally and eternally.

Biblical Faith will be a Vindicated Faith
What we have in verses 28 through the end of the chapter is four examples of faith being vindicated in a mighty way by the Lord. So over the next two sermons we are going to see these four ways that real, biblical, saving faith will be vindicated. This morning we are going to see that Biblical faith will be vindicated in the obedience of God's people.

Philippians 1:18b-26 - A Certain Confidence
Paul puts the Gospel first in ministry because for him to life is Christ and to die is gain. Everyone lack confidence but when it comes to the worship of God a lack of confidence is either from sinfulness or ignorance. Why do we cherish or treasure things that don’t make God great? Paul’s answer was that we center our living on the false, fake, limited, and/or powerless things. For Paul Christian ministry must get back to a cross Center life that gives the greatest confidence. This Cross centered worship give us confidence that results from 1) Confidence in the Final vindication (18b-20), 2) Confidence in Life or death (21-24), and 3) Confidence for ministry to others (25-26). Focusing on the cross in Gospel worship gives us confidence that we will be vindicated in the last judgment. It did not matter what other did to him, he was on a ultimate mission. No matter what postmoderns say today, we can have certainty about things even thought knowledge of reality may sometimes be partial. It is ludicrous to say that you are certain that you are not certain. You don’t have to be omniscient to be certain about reality because our resources are outside of our selves – i.e. revelation and the supply of the Holy Spirit. Personal conversion and commitment are what is needed to the revelation that is given to supply our certainty. Confidence for Paul also came because of how he value life and death as profit for him. It did not matter because for Paul the apex of his values in his life and worship was Christ alone. Worship that brings confidence is radically God-centered, radically satisfying, and radically an end in itself. This freed Paul to have confidence to minister to others and it will give a great confidence to.

To Be the People of God (Exodus 3)
What does it mean to be the people of God? From Exodus 3 we see that: the Holy One will dwell with his people; the God of Abraham will deliver his people; I AM WHO I AM will be with his people; and the Mighty One will vindicate his people. We will see different facets of who God is and what it means that the holy God dwells with us, delivers us, and vindicates us.
