Table of Contents:
=============================
I. Factual Content Of The Gospel
A. 1 Cor. 15:1–5; Rom. 4:22–25
1. Jesus delivered to death on account of our sins
2. Jesus was buried
3. God raised Jesus on the third day
4. We are reckoned righteous by believing these facts
B. Primary attestation: the Old Testament Scriptures
C. Secondary attestation: testimony of human witnesses
II. Imputation Of Righteousness
A. Received by faith, without works
1. Romans 4:5
2. Ephesians 2:8–10
B. But living faith produces appropriate works (James 2:24, 26)
1. Grace is received without earning it
2. Works is what we do
C. Relationship between faith and works
1. We are not required to keep the law of Moses—or any other law. Christianity
is not a set of laws.
a. No justification by keeping law (Rom. 3:20)
b. Law and grace are exclusive (Rom. 6:14)
c. The law stirs up sin (Rom. 7:4–6)
d. Law cannot bring righteousness (Rom. 10:4)
2. To turn back to law is serious error
a. The Galatian Christians were bewitched: the cross and its work was
obscured to them (Gal. 3:1–3)
b. This brings a curse (Gal. 3:10)
c. Confirmed in Old Testament (Jer. 17:5)
3. Law works from without, leaving us to our own ability
4. Grace works from within, supplying supernatural ability
5. “Be holy” (Lev. 11:44; 1 Pet. 1:16)
a. Law says, “I must keep all these rules”
b. Grace says, “Jesus in me lives out His holiness through me” (1 Cor. 1:30;
Heb. 12:10)
III. The Righteous Requirement Of The Law
A. Only through the supernatural (Rom. 8:3–4)
B. Love
1. All law has two objectives: (Matt. 22:35–40)
a. Love for God
b. Love for neighbor
2. Love is the fulfillment of the law (Rom. 13:8–10)
3. Faith must work through love (Gal. 5:6)
4. The goal of all teaching is love (1 Tim. 1:5)
C. Love motivates us to obedience (John 14:15, 23)
D. More effective than fear (1 John 4:18)
E. Obedience of love is progressive (Phil. 1:9–11)
F. Meanwhile, faith is reckoned as righteousness (Rom. 4:23–24)
