This sermon expounds on the Reformation doctrine of sola fide, asserting that sinners are justified by faith in Christ alone rather than by works. The preacher defines saving faith as a tripartite act involving knowledge of gospel facts, intellectual assent to their truth, and personal trust in Jesus for salvation. Using the illustration of a straw delivering a cold drink, the text clarifies that faith is merely the instrument that receives Christ, who is the sole source of righteousness. The message warns against relying on any human merit or religious ritual, emphasizing that justification is entirely a gift of God's grace received through resting in Jesus alone. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to examine their trust, ensuring it rests exclusively on the finished work of Christ for eternal life.

la ley de Dios ya está escrita en tu corazón (Romanos 2:14-16). En este sermón, dentro de nuestra serie por el libro de Romanos "El Justo por la Fe Vivirá", el Rev. Ramón Sosa responde a una de las preguntas más antiguas del corazón humano: ¿qué pasa con el que nunca escuchó el evangelio? ¿Puede Dios condenar a alguien que nunca tuvo una Biblia en sus manos? El apóstol Pablo responde con una verdad que le quita al hombre toda excusa, en tres puntos: 🔹 La ley que nadie le enseñó (v. 14) — el gentil que nunca tuvo la ley de Moisés, sin embargo hace por instinto lo que la ley manda, porque Dios escribió Su ley en la conciencia de todo ser humano. 🔹 El testigo que no se puede sobornar (v. 15) — dentro de cada persona hay un tribunal permanente: la conciencia, que actúa como testigo, fiscal y defensor, acusando o excusando según lo que ya sabemos que es bueno o malo. 🔹 El día en que se abran los secretos (v. 16) — Dios juzgará hasta los motivos más ocultos del corazón, y lo hará "mediante Cristo Jesús": el mismo Juez que, en la cruz, ya fue juzgado en lugar de los suyos. La conclusión es clara: la luz de la conciencia alcanza para dejarnos sin excusa, pero nunca para salvarnos. Por eso la iglesia predica, ora y envía misioneros — porque la fe viene por el oír, y el oír, por la Palabra de Cristo (Romanos 10:17). 📖 TEXTO BÍBLICO — Romanos 2:14-16 (NBLA)

Bible Reading: John 14:1-14;27-31 (KJV) Sermon Text: John 14:27 (KJV) "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." The Christian should: 1. Always look to Christ for his peace. 2. Never look to the world for its peace. 3. Enjoy the peace that the world gives. The sermon explores the supernatural peace offered by Jesus Christ, contrasting it with the temporary and superficial peace of the world. Drawing primarily from John 14:27 and Romans 5, the message establishes that true peace is a gift secured through Christ's sacrificial death and received by faith, resulting in reconciliation with God. The Holy Spirit serves as the Comforter who indwells believers, enabling them to maintain this peace amidst life's trials and external chaos. The preacher urges listeners to reject worldly anxieties and instead anchor their hearts in the finished work of the cross. Ultimately, the text calls for a continuous reliance on Christ to enjoy and let His peace rule within the believer's heart.

The sermon explores the relationship between the New Testament Christians and and the Old Testament law, arguing that justification by faith does not make the law purposeless, but rather establishes the laws proper purpose in the New Testament. It distinguishes between the moral, ceremonial, and civil laws, explaining how each functions differently in the New Covenant context. The moral law leads believers to trust in Christ for righteousness and imitate His character. The ceremonial law serves as a prophetic pointer to Christ, while the civil law provides circumstantial applications that guide ethical understanding. Ultimately, the message emphasizes the continuity of Scripture, asserting that all parts of God's law remain valid and purposeful for the New Testament church.
