Romans Chapter One Lesson 14
Review:
Salvation:
swthri,a; basic idea
is of deliverance; safety; preservation; healing; soundness;
We
also covered the fact that salvation is in three phases or as you probably
heard it as three tenses, past, present and future.
There
is the faith aspect. The Grace means of appropriating the blessings of
salvation, All three phases.
Rom
3:22-23;
> "to the
Jew first and also to the Greek."
first prw/ton is often interpreted to be
priority

have no part in sin and wickedness. Ps
11:7; 119:137 judgments
= divine decisions
- Ps 119:142; Never will He ever give up being
perfect righteousness
>
Man: Titus 3:5; Isa
64:6; Comparison
of the 2, Phil 3:9
What could we give God that would satisfy what He
wants? ONLY +R!!
WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO COME UP WITH IT??
- We must come to grips with the Principle that perfect
Righteousness is all that God can ever accept.
Then the situation is hopeless for man!
Not
True!! Another attribute, Wisdom comes
up with the solution, the Gospel; the power of God resulting in
salvation to all who believe!
**
Point is your righteousness, your works your human good can never
become enough capital to purchase your salvation; you must have Christ's righteousness that
comes by way of the gospel, and that by faith.
