Romans 5:1-11
This sermon explores Romans 5:1-11, examining the ten significant benefits that flow naturally from justification by faith in Jesus Christ. Pastor Bruce Gordon emphasizes that justification is not merely a theological concept but a transformative reality that produces tangible changes in a believer's life. The message addresses a critical issue in modern Christianity—the tendency to preach grace without emphasizing right living and character development. The pastor stresses that while believers are not saved by works, they are saved unto good works, and genuine redemption will inevitably produce evidence of transformation. The sermon challenges Christians to understand their secure standing in Christ while acknowledging that their spiritual state may fluctuate, reminding them that their position before God is based on Christ's finished work, not their performance.
