TEXT: ROMANS 5.1 - 13
A Sermon by Wm H Cash Jr
1927 - 2012
August 1958 First Baptist Church
Crescent OR Evening Service.
5.1 Therefore being justified by faith,
we have peace with God
through our
Lord Jesus Christ.
5.2 By whom also we have
access by faith
into this grace wherein we
stand, and rejoice
in hope of the glory
of God.
5.3 And not only so,
but we glory in tribulations
also: knowing
that tribulation
worketh patience;
5.4 And patience,
experience; and experience
hope;
5.5 And hope maketh
not ashamed, because
the love of God
is shed abroad
in our hearts
by the Holy Ghost
which is given unto us.
5.6 For when we were yet
without strength,
in due time Christ died
for the ungodly.
5.7 For scarcely for a righteous
man will one die: yet
peradventure for a
good man
some would even dare
to die.
5.8 But God commendeth
His love toward us, in that
while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.
5.9 Much more than, being
now justified by His blood,
we shall be saved
from wrath
through him.
5.10 For if, when we were
enemies, we were
reconciled to God
by the death of his Son,
much more,
being reconciled,
we shall be saved by
His Life.
5.11 And not only so,
but we also joy in God
through our Lord Jesus Christ
by whom we have
now received
the atonement.
5.12 Wherefore, as by one
man sin entered into the
world, and death by sin;
and so death passed upon all men
for that all have sinned;
5.13 (For until the law
sin was in the world:
but sin is not imputed
when there is no law.
Many professing Christians today are
unstable, uncertain, and constantly
seeking for "revival" but
in themselves do not have joy,
nor do they seem to know
victory over
the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eyes,
and
the pride of life.
I John 2.15, 16
15. Love not the world,
neither the things that are in
the world. If any man
love the world, the love
of the Father is not in him.
16. For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life,
is not of the Father,
but is of the world.
II Corinthians 15.58
Therefore,
my beloved brethren,
be ye steadfast,
unmoveable,
always abounding
in the work of the
Lord,
forasmuch as ye know
that your labour is not
in vain in the Lord.
Our Lord wants us to be
fruitful, and constant.
Jesus told the disciples
"If ye abide in me,
and my words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will,
and it shall be done unto you.
John 15.7
Before Jesus went to the Cross,
he told the disciples
"These things have I spoken
unto you, that in me
you might have peace.
In the world ye shall
have tribulation,
but be of good cheer,
I have overcome the
world."
OUR FAITH IS THE
VICTORY
THAT OVERCOMES
THE WORLD.
1 John 5.4
Whatsoever is born of God
overcometh the world: and
this is the victory
that overcometh
the world,
even our faith.
LET US CONSIDER
THINGS ABOUT
OUR VICTORY
I.
IT IS A WAY OF LIFE
As "justified"
I have been declared
legally by God
through
the blood of Jesus
NOT GUILTY.
All have sinned and
come short of the
glory of God
Romans 3.23
is followed
by verse
24
which states
"being justified freely
by his grace
through the
redemption
that is in Christ".
\Our Saviour leads today
into victory
Jesus fulfilled everything
needed
for us
to live
this victorious life.
Psalm 55.22
Cast thy burden upon
the LORD; and He shall sustain
thee
Matthew 11.28 - 30
Come unto me
All ye that labour and
are heavy laden, and
I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you,
and learn of me,
for I am meek
and lowly in heart;
and ye shall find
rest
unto your souls,
for my yoke
is easy
and my
burden
is light.
As we pick up the yoke
Christ offers,
It is HE THAT
BEARS THE LOAD
Instead of focusing
on how big the load is,
let us
LET GOD LIFT OUR LOADS.
ROMANS 12.1,2
I Beseech you therefore, brethren,
by the mercies of God
to present your bodies
a living sacrifice
unto God,
which is your
reasonable
service.
and be not
conformed
to the world,
but be ye
TRANSFORMED
by the renewing of
your mind,
that ye may prove
what is that good,
and acceptable,
and perfect,
will of God.
GALATIANS 2.20
I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless, I live, yet not
I, but Christ liveth
in me,
and the life
which
I now live
in the flesh,
I live
by the faith
of the
Son of God
who loved me
and gave himself
for me.
When a certain man was
carrying his bundle
on his back
down the
road
he was
struggling
with his burden.
A wagon driven
by a man who offered
to let him
ride with him
in the wagon.
The traveler
then got into the wagon,
and sat down.
Sometime later
the driver looked
back to see how
his guest was
doing,
and he noticed
that
the
man still had
the pack on his
back.
He did not let
go of it.
SO WE TAKE OUR LOAD
TO THE LORD
AND LEAVE IT THERE.
HE PROMISED TO
LIFT OUR LOAD
OUR
BURDEN
OUR
NEEDS
OUR HEART CRY
FOR HELP
II VICTORY IN DEATH
Through Christ we have victory
not only over life,
but over death.
Isaiah 25.8 - 9
8. He will swallow up
death in victory; and
the LORD God will
wipe away tears
from all faces;
and the rebuke of
his people
shall he take
away
from off
all the earth:
for the LORD hath
spoken it.
v.9 And it shall
be said in that day
"Lo, this is our God,
We have waited for Him,
we will rejoice and
be glad in
His Salvation."
Y'SHUA
in Matthew 1.21
"Thou shalt call his name
JESUS for he shall save his
people from their sins.
Being dead to sin
and alive to God
Being justified
Being sanctified
we not only
are
IN POSITION
WITH CHRIST
IN THE HEAVENLIES
III. VICTORY IN THE FUTURE
WILL COME.
IN GOD'S EYES
WE ARE
ALREADY
SEATED
WITH JESUS
AT
THE RIGHT
HAND
OF THE FATHER.
IN GOD'S EYES
PAST
PRESENT
AND
FUTURE
ARE
ALL IN HIS HANDS.
JESUS IS CALLING US
TO FOLLOW HIM
HE HAS MADE THE WAY
HE DWELLS IN US
THROUGH THE
DEAR
SPIRIT
THE HOLY GHOST
WHO
WILL
ALWAYS
EXALT
JESUS
TO THE
GLORY
OF
GOD THE FATHER
In my next post
I will talk about
GOD'S VICTORY
in the Future.
WALKING BY FAITH
I KEEP CLIMBING
LOOKING
FOR
MESSIAH'S
RETURN\
I
WATCH
AND
WAIT
OCCUPYING
TILL HE COME.
