 God’s Hope Works 

Romans 5:1-11

   

Hope is risky. 

 

But God offers risk-free hope.

 

1. What is it?

  

2. Why is it guaranteed?

 

3. How do I get it?

 

A hope that doesn’t put us to shame. It’s yours. 

 

 (Preacher: Sam Hemming)

God’s Gift

Romans 4

 

Romans 1-3: The Gospel of Jesus reveals the undeserved gift of being right with God

Romans 4: Abraham is THE example of receiving the undeserved gift of being right with God

• Abraham was not declared right with God by works 

• or by circumcision     

• or through the law            

• Abraham was justified by faith        

Have you accepted the undeserved gift of being right with God?

 

 (Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

Is it still relevant?

1. The riches of justification by faith (3:21-26)

“Now”

“Apart from the law”

“Those who believe”

“Freely by his grace”

“Through Christ”

“Just and Justifier”

2. The end of boasting (3:27-31)

Still relevant.
