Romans 9:1-13 The Sovereignty of God (Part 1)
Romans 9:1-13
Has God’s word failed?
Ps Matt takes us through the Old Testament and the New Testament to answer this question. By looking through God’s promises we can see the answer and we can better understand God’s sovereignty.
Who are God’s people?
Humility Before God
1 Corinthians 1
The Gospel is such that it purposefully prevents humans from boasting.
Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord
In Our Place - Justice
2 CORINTHIANS 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
In Our Place - Ransom
Matt 20:26-28
"...the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many"
— Hosea 1-3 —
Like Gomer in the book of Hosea, we have been pursued with underserved love and have been ransomed by God.
Through the cross our debt is paid in full!
There is more grace in Christ than sin in us - Receive God's love and respond in love
In Our Place - The Passover Lamb
John 1:28-29
“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"
Christ is the perfect sacrifice to atone for the sin for all those who call upon His glorious name.
On this Good Friday message, Ps Matt illustrates through the Passover story in Exodus (Exodus 12) the good news that Christ, through His death, was a worthy and willing sacrifice - in our place.
In Our Place (Matthew 27:46)
Easter 2022: In Our Place.
