TOPIC: MADE RIGHTEOUS BY THE FREE GIFT
Preacher: Pastor Paul Adefarasin
Facts
1.
Being in right
standing with the testator of all times enables you access to the receiving the
inheritance God has given and bestowed on us.
2.
We were made the
righteousness of God by the free gift and all you do is receive it. It is
passive...(by grace are you saved through faith) Romans 5:18-21, 5:19a & b,
1:16-17, 10:2-4, 6:14 2 Corn5:21, jer 31:33,
3.
God through grace
will take the bondage away from your heart on the inside, while religion will
only take away the fear on the outside
4.
Righteousness
takes the desire for sin away from your heart.
5.
What is in the
name of Jesus that makes it so powerful? It's the gospel of Jesus Christ.
6.
Your motivation
for salvation should be love for God and not fear of death. As a sinner you
have no life...life is given after salvation.
7.
What you do does
not determine your righteousness. One man made you a sinner and by one man you
were made righteous.
8.
No man not even
yourself can unmake what God has made. Because the gift was not given by
performance, it cannot be taken by non-performance.
9.
The gift has
nothing to do with you. The gift was a prerogative of the giver and not the
recipient. Your witness is the gift of Jesus in your life.
10.
All God wants
from your is BELIEVE..
11.
The righteousness
of God is revealed on faith to faith...as far as your Adam remains crucified,
your Christ will be free.
12.
Do not predicate
your ability to receive from God on your sins because Christ is the end of the
law for righteousness to everyone that believes.
13.
Holiness is not
behavior modification. He fulfilled the law.....'filled it fully'. Do not pay
for that which God has already paid for.
14.
We are no longer
in the system of the law which revealed Sin. We would have not known sin if not
for the law. What strengthens sin is the law. (See Romans 1-4 personally)
15.
You have to own
the gospel...until your own the gospel it doesn't really work for you.
16.
We are qualified
not of our own doing but by what Christ did on the cross.
17.
Your obedience
cannot contribute to your righteousness but Christ. It's a battle of the mind
and a thinking pattern. 2corn 10:4.
18.
The Gospel is not
fair....it is favour
19.
Embrace his
obedience on your behalf because you will never be obedient enough to get
anything from him. 2 corn 10:4-5, Rom 6 14-18
20.
SIN is
responsible for death, sorrow, poverty etc, but SIN has no power over GRACE.
6:14. The obedience required is from one...JESUS Rom 5:12&17. He paid for
all sin
21.
The question to
be asked is what system do you believe?? The system of the law (James 1:15) or
the System of Grace? Choose grace
