Title: Man's Responsibility to Grace


1
  • Man's Responsibility to Grace
  • Romans 10

2
  • A two-fold responsibility

3
  • A two-fold responsibility
  • 1. We must respond to Gods grace.

4
  • 1. Zeal is not enough
  • v.v. 1-5

5
  • though I also might have confidence in the
    flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have
    confidence in the flesh, I more so circumcised
    the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the
    tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews
    concerning the law, a Pharisee concerning zeal,
    persecuting the church concerning the
    righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
  • Phil 34-6 NASB

6
  • 10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one
    a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer. 11 "The
    Pharisee stood and was praying thus to himself,
    'God, I thank Thee that I am not like other
    people swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even
    like this tax-gatherer. 12 'I fast twice a week
    I pay tithes of all that I get.' 13 "But the
    tax-gatherer, standing some distance away, was
    even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but
    was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful
    to me, the sinner!'
  • Lk 1810-13 NASB

7
  • 1. Zeal is not enough
  • v.v. 1-5
  • 2. We dont have to search for God v. v. 6-8

8
  • 1. Zeal is not enough
  • v.v. 1-5
  • 2. We dont have to search for God v. v. 6-8
  • 1). God is not far away and 2). He has chosen
    to reveal himself or make Himself know to mankind

9
  • 1. Zeal is not enough
  • v.v. 1-5
  • 2. We dont have to search for God v. v. 6-8
  • 3. Responding to Grace requires a confession
    of faith and a profession of faith v. 9-13

10
  • 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as
    Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised
    Him from the dead, you shall be saved 10 for
    with the heart man believes, resulting in
    righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses,
    resulting in salvation. Ro 109-10 NASB

11
  • The implication is not only to confess or agree
    with God about the nature of Jesus Christ but
    also to profess to declare openly that faith.

12
  • The outward profession of faith arises from a
    profound inward conviction. Its not the
    speaking of the words that saves someone it is
    the belief of the heart that leads to the
    confession that results in Salvation.

13
  • Jesus is Lord

14
  • Jesus is Lord
  • He is Divine - He is God in the flesh He alone
    is the redeemer.

15
  • Those who come to Christ by faith are
    acknowledging they have placed themselves
    entirely and without reserve under His authority.

16
  • Verse 10 is not just a formula to be recited
    from memory - but the expression of genuine
    belief. The Confession is giving expression in
    words to the genuine acceptance and conviction of
    Jesus Lordship over your life.

17
  • The key to the confession Jesus is Lord is
    faith and Paul nails that faith to the of the
    resurrection of Jesus.

18
  • The fact of the resurrection affirms the truth
    of the entire gospel message.

19
  • 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance
    what I also received, that Christ died for our
    sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He
    was buried, and that He was raised on the third
    day according to the Scriptures, 1 Co 151-4 NASB

20
  • A two-fold responsibility
  • 1. We must respond to Gods grace.
  • 2. We must proclaim the message

21
  • 11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in
    Him will not be disappointed." 12 For there is no
    distinction between Jew and Greek for the same
    Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all
    who call upon Him 13 for "Whoever will call upon
    the name of the Lord will be saved."

22
  • 1. The gospel is universal in its scope 11-13

23
  • 1. The gospel is universal in its scope 11-13
  • 2. All mankind is saved in the same way 11-13

24
  • 1. The gospel is universal in its scope 11-13
  • 2. All mankind is saved in the same way 11-13
  • 3. The message must be proclaimed v. 14-15

25
  • Evangelism isnt limited to preachers,
    evangelist and missionaries

26
  • The great commission is given to the church -
    the church is the people.
  • We have a message we must share with the world.

27
  • That message is Jesus Christ
  • And, whosoever calls upon Him will be saved.

28
  • We must confess and profess
  • Jesus is Lord.
