Can God really make bad people good? ROMANS, Week 7
Sunday Nov 26, 2023
Sunday Nov 26, 2023
Pastor Bartley Sawatsky continues our series through the book Romans. Our study today focuses in on Romans 4:1-12 and asking the question, "Can God really make bad people good?"
Romans 4:1-12 focuses on the theme of faith and righteousness, using the example of Abraham. The passage highlights that Abraham was justified by faith, not by works, and emphasizes that faith itself is credited as righteousness. It draws attention to the idea that righteousness is a gift received through faith, applicable not only to those who follow the law but to all who share Abraham's faith. The passage underscores the universality of God's grace and the foundational role of faith in the journey toward righteousness.
God's transformative power is manifested through Jesus' propitiation for us. Romans 4:1-12 and other biblical passages affirm that righteousness is credited through faith, and through Christ's sacrificial act, God reconciles and transforms individuals, making them righteous despite their shortcomings. The propitiation provided by Jesus demonstrates God's capacity to redeem and make people morally upright through the acceptance of His grace.

Sunday Nov 19, 2023
This week, Pastor Bartley Sawatsky continues our series through the book Romans. Our study today focuses in on Romans 3:21-31 and asking the question, "How can I gain God's approval?"
Romans 3:21-31 emphasizes that righteousness is obtained through faith in Jesus Christ, distinct from adherence to the law. The passage underscores that all, regardless of their background, can be justified by faith, as everyone falls short of God's glory. Paul asserts that faith does not nullify the law but establishes it, highlighting the transformative power of belief in Christ for salvation.
According to Romans 3:21-31, gaining God's approval is not achieved through adherence to the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. The key is to trust in Christ's redemptive work, as all fall short of God's standards. By embracing faith in Christ, one can receive justification and approval from God, irrespective of personal shortcomings.

This week, Pastor Bartley Sawatsky continues our series through the book Romans. Our study today focuses in on Romans 2:17-29, as we answer the question, Do God's chosen people get a free pass? In Romans 2:17-29, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that being a true follower of God is not just about outward rituals or adherence to religious laws, but it involves a transformation of the heart and living in a way that reflects one's faith. In this passage, the Apostle Paul addresses the Jewish people, reminding them that merely having the law or circumcision is not enough to make them righteous before God. This week's passage teaches that true righteousness before God is not achieved through outward rituals or religious identity but through an inward transformation of the heart, genuine obedience to God's commands, and living in a way that reflects one's faith, which applies to all people, regardless of their background.

Sunday Oct 29, 2023
Today, Pastor Bartley Sawatsky continues our series through the book Romans. Our study today focuses in on Romans 2:1-16, as we answer the question, How Will God Judge people?
In Romans 2:1-16, the apostle Paul addresses the issue of judgment and righteousness. In this passage, he emphasizes that everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs, will be judged by God based on their actions and the condition of their heart. Paul highlights the importance of not being quick to judge others while being mindful of one's own shortcomings. He points out that God's judgment is fair and impartial, with rewards for those who seek to do good and punishment for those who persist in wrongdoing. The passage underscores the idea that it's not merely knowing the law that matters but living according to it that counts in God's judgment.

In week 2 of our study in the book of Romans, Pastor Bartley looks at Romans 1:18-32, and asks the question: What happens when people forget God? Romans 1:18-32 warns that God's wrath is revealed against those who, despite the evidence of His existence in creation, turn to idolatry and immorality, ultimately leading to a state of moral depravity and unrepentance. The passage describes how people reject God's truth and engage in behaviors against nature, which result in due penalties for their actions. It underscores the consequences of forsaking God and embracing unrighteousness.
