Romans 3:9-
Introduction
Outline for Chapter 3
- Paul’s Answers to Objections (3:1-8)
- Paul’s Assertion of sin (9-18)
- Paul’s Arguments of Justification by Faith (19-31)
Paul has been laying all the ground work for Salvation up to this point.
Before you start any project, there is a lot of preparation that needs
to be put into place. If you are going to plant a garden, you want to
chose the location (not a shaded location, not a soggy location), the
next step would be to break up the ground. In these few chapters, Paul
has been breaking up the ground. You cannot plant a garden, if one
already exists. Once again, Paul is writing both Jew and Gentile. Both
have existing religious backgrounds, and philosophies. Paul has to
completely cut down their ideas, and turn over the dirt where their
religious garden was growing before the Gospel seed can be planted. Paul
has spent 2 chapters showing how man, both Gentile and Jew are without
excuse before God! He was cutting down what already existed there. In
these next few verses, he is about to turn the ground over, so there is
fresh dirt, and the soil is prepared to receive the seed.
September 21, 2022 Arguments for Justification
#
Romans 3:19-31
Introduction
Outline for Chapter 3
- Paul’s Answer to Objections (Romans 3:1-8)
- Paul’s Assertion of Sin (Romans 3:9-18)
- Paul’s Argument of Justification (Romans 3:19-31)
In verses 19-20, Paul is recapping what has been explained for the past
few chapters. All of man is guilty before God! He has left no stone
unturned in dealing extensively with the issue of sin, the knowledge of
sin, for both the religious Jewish leaders and the Gentiles who were
ignorant of sin.
September 21, 2022 Justified by Faith, not works
#
Romans 4:1-8
Introduction
Paul presented Justification by faith in chapter 3, he further defends
it in chapter 4. In this chapter we will look at the fact that
Justification is by faith, not works (1-8), Justification is by grace,
not law (9-17) and Justification is by Resurrection power not human
effort (18-25).
Justification is the absolute cleaning of our account. So before God we
are not sinners.

Authority
#
Mark 1:21-28
Introduction
In our passage, the word Authority appears twice, but the implication of
authority is in every part of the passage we will look at.
authority - legal or rightful power; a right to command or to act; power
exercised buy a person in virtue of his office or trust; dominion,
jurisdiction;
In the gospel of Mark, Jesus is presented as a servant. However, it is
very clear in the beginning of the gospel, that he is not a weak
servant, but a very powerful, strong servant. While Jesus came to serve,
and be a servant, by no means does that make him weak, or lessen his
authority.
September 21, 2022 Justification by Grace
#
Romans 4:9-16
Introduction
In this chapter we will look at the fact that Justification is by faith,
not works (1-8), Justification is by grace, not law (9-17) and
Justification is by Resurrection power not human effort (18-25).
Once again, the central theme is going to be around Abraham. To the
Jews, he is their Father. There is no doubt, they occupy a special place
in history, the Bible, and to God. They ARE God’s chosen people. We
don’t replace that. However, because of that status, they struggled to
understand how Salvation could be open to all!
September 21, 2022 Consequences of Justification
#
Romans 5:1-5
Introduction
Paul has been spent a long time throughly and clearly presenting
Justification by faith. He is now going to give us a The Consequences of
Justification, the Causes of Justification, the Comparison in
Justification and the contrasts in Justification.
Tonight we will see clearly the blessed consequences of Justification.
These should be a great encouragement to every child of God!
I. Peace with God (1) “we have peace”
#
A. Claiming of peace “by faith”

September 21, 2022 Understanding Salvation
#
Romans 5:6-11
Introduction
As we continue to look at Romans, I would like us to fully understand
the great salvation we have. It is not necessary to understand all of
this in order to be saved, but after we are saved, it is great to look
at it all, and understand better the GREAT Salvation we received!
When you bought your first car, you certainly didn't understand what
you were getting! You probably didn't understand how a pump turns on,
and moves the gasoline from your tank to your motor. You probably
didn't understand that a battery & starter cranks that motor over. You
probably didn't understand the proper ratio of gas and air mixture to
get that explosion to take place inside of that engine block as the
piston compressed that mixture. You probably didn't understand the gear
ratio in the transmission that causes a motor that is constantly in
motion to put the wheels in motion. All you knew was, how much does it
cost? Does it work? do I like the color, and does the radio work?
September 21, 2022 Explanation of Sin vs Salvation
#
Romans 5:12-17
Introduction
An Old Time preacher, Harry Ironside wrote this:
The moment a man is justified by faith he is also born of God. His
justification is, as we have seen, his official clearance before the
throne of God. His regeneration involves his introduction into a new
family. He becomes a part of the New Creation of which the risen
Christ is the Head. Adam the first was federal head of the old race.
Christ Risen, the Second Man and the Last Adam, is Head of the new
race. The old creation fell in Adam, and all his descendants were
involved in his ruin. The new creation stands eternally secure in
Christ, and all who have received life from Him are sharers in the
blessings procured by His cross and secured by His life at God's
right hand.
September 21, 2022 Deliverance from Sin
#
Romans 6:12-23
Introduction
As we continue through the book of Romans, we can see Paul is dealing
with “Sanctification”. Salvation occurs the moment you call on Jesus
Christ as your personal Saviour. It is instantaneous, not a process.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he
that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him.

Mark 2:1-12
Introduction
This morning I would direct our attention to the people in
this passage. Jesus always interacted with people.
We relate with some people, and often we see ourself in other people?
I. The Seekers (Mark 2:2) "many were gathered together"
#
A. Word Shared (1) "noised that he was in the house"
#
1. The history -
#
Mark 1:21 - he was in Capernaum before, that is where Peter's house
is, where he cast the demon out of the man in the synagogue, and
healed many people.
