In this message we learn about justification by faith.
Overview:
1. The enmity that must be recognized The need for peace presumes enmity between God and man. Men are not born in a position of neutrality. They are hostile toward God. It is also true that God is hostile towards the sinner. The only just response to the rebellion of man is for God to react in wrath.
2. The enemies that are reconciled Our disposition toward God changes. God's disposition towards us changes. It is the new birth that causes our disposition towards God to change. That happens because God's disposition towards us changes.
3. The enjoyment that is realized We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Application:
1. A word of warning Make sure that if you have peace in your conscious that it's on the right grounds. Make sure it's because of Christ's mediation alone.
2. A word of challenge A Christian living an unholy life is a terrible inconsistency.
3. A word of exhortation Be assured of your relationship with Christ.
4. A word of comfort Guilt is removed Gods wrath is appeased and the way is open for us to become friends of God. Our afflictions are because of God's love for us.
