1. The gospel has parameters established by God. 2. God designed salvation in a way that He alone will be praised. 3. Thus, all that has befallen humanity especially sin, redounds to God's glory in salvation.4. Sin was only an instrument to this end and so is the Law. 5. Sin and Law work together to remove all boasting from sinners by condemning the sinner. 6. Sin and Law ensure that salvation is 100% of God's grace in Christ alone. 7. Any gospel that conditions all or any part of salvation to the doing or will of a sinner is by default, false.

1. Many people are deceived with respect to the matter of righteousness and that means the gospel.--2. What many professing Christians call the gospel is not the gospel. Rather it is self-righteousness that has been laundered in the name of Christ.--3. God's gospel spells out the matter and makes the necessary distinctions.--4. The first and most important distinction is that the righteousness of the gospel is called God's righteousness.--5. It means it is righteousness from God and by God.--6. IT is righteousness apart from the Law, which means apart from human works or obedience of any kind.--7. Strictly, it is righteousness that is given without cause, that is, freely, without any merit or regard to the persons.--8. IT is a righteousness that is accomplished by the redemption that is in Christ.---9. A righteousness that is revealed, which means, it is only known by those that are loved and called of God.--10.

Today's Gospel instalment- 04-17-2022 -Sermon Title- Are we better than they---Text- Romans 3 vs 1-20-1. Unless we understand or believe the spiritual condition of humanity as sinners, we can't confess the truth as it is in Christ.-2. God has given dire and distressing testimony of men as they are found in Romans 1 country, as they are found in high moralism and in feigned law keeping.-3. They are all unrighteous, condemned and hopeless.-4. So, the Jew though having some temporary advantages and privileges, they did not get preferential treatment with respect to salvation, because real circumcision is that which is internal, a spiritual reality done by God. -5. God is no respecter of persons. And so, the Jew remains hopeless as long they think their Law keeping recommends them to God for salvation.-6. So, the conclusion of the matter is that all men are sinners. They are under the power of sin and in this state are not able to please God or accomplish their own salvation.-7. And Paul went to describe the spiritual condition of all men and giving an X-ray picture of sin from the head to the toes and saying, there is NONE RIGHTEOUS or ANY who understands.-8. Thus, the Law could not declare such a one as righteous. Because the Law was not given to cause righteousness in a sinner, but to shut them up, to remove all boasting.-9. There are a lot of gospel nuggets to glean and they are free.-10. Happy Resurrection weekend..

Title- 1. Why did Pharaoh harden his heart-- 2. Why did God harden Pharaoh's heart-- 3. What does it mean and what is the gospel understanding---1. We can't talk of salvation if we do not see those things that represent or respect Christ in this story or any story for that matter.-2. Israel was in Egypt under slavery for the gospel testimony.-3. Their slavery pictured the slavery of all men to sin and Law resulting in death.-4. And a people under slavery cannot free themselves.-5. And God appeared to teach this truth in His dealings with Pharaoh.-6. Pharaoh could not just set the people free. Even the 9 plagues could not persuade him to set them free.-7. However, when the 10th plague came, the death of the first-born, God's people were set free.-8. But this happens in the context of repeated testimonies of God hardening Pharaoh and Pharaoh hardening his own heart.-9. There is much great gospel nuggets to glean from this message.-10. IT is all free.

Message Title- The condemnation of the Law keeper. 2. Human obedience is no obedience-Text- Romans 2 vs 17-29-1..We have already talked about the condemnation of the unrighteous pagans in Romans 1 in ROMANS1 COUNTRY -BSGC Rom - 5-. -2..Next we did a message on the CONDEMNATION OF THE MORALIST ... Romans 2..- BSGC Rom - 6--3.. And this message with some review of the first two the is condemnation of the LAW KEEPER..-4.. Men and women need to see their depravity and hopelessness before they can actually embrace the truth of God's grace.. -5.. All these people who trouble us when we declare that Christ is the only righteousness worthy of talking about, do not understand God's arguments in the gospel. They have a low view of sin even as they profess to be redeemed and a very high and false view of their own obedience to God. -6.. And that means they are still deceived with respect to sin and righteousness. -6.. The Law keeper on his best day is just as condemned as the moralist on his or her best day as is the Pagan on his worst day.-7. The only difference Maker is Christ alone and He alone IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Sermon Title- The Condemnation of the Moralist.-1. Many are deceived by moralistic individuals with respect to righteousness and salvation.-2. The Moralist tries to live to high moral standards and demands them of other people.-3. By this they think they are righteous and in this they put their hope.-4. The Moralist agrees with Paul as he enumerated the many sins of the citizens of Romans 1 country.-5. But Paul does not agree with him. In Chapter 2 Paul comes and condemns the moralist and says they are just as guilty as those that he-she condemns.-6. And Paul's aim to is to prove that all men, even the best and religious ones are sinners and are under condemnation.-7. And there is only one way out, God's righteousness as revealed in the gospel. -8. And IT IS FREE

The good news of the gospel has God given context.-3. The context is that all people are under sin, pagans, idolaters.-4. They suppress the truth of God in unrighteousness by denying God and not giving Him His glory.-5. All people know that God exists and they have no excuse for their unrighteousness.-6. God's verdict is that all sinners deserve to die for their righteousness.-7. And yet, for the beloved of God, called saints, He says grace and peace to them because of Christ.-8. Christ has done for them what they could not do for themselves, to satisfy God's wrath.-9. If you are living in Romans 1 country you have to hear this message.
