Abraham Justified by Grace [Romans 4:1-12]

May 21, 2023

Sermon Notes

Date: 05/21/2023

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 4:1-12

Description:

If there was ever any counterargument to the doctrine of Justification by Faith Alone, the Jews need only point to their forefather Abraham. After all, he was the first and great patriarch. He was even recognized as the “friend of God.” If anybody had a resume of “works” to gain justification, he did.

But, he didn’t.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and shows us how Paul masterfully reminds the reader that the justification God provides has nothing to do with what what Abraham did, or what we do, for God. It’s about what GOD DID for Abraham… and what GOD DOES for us.

Abraham did not achieved justification by working to please God, but by believing God. It was God’s grace through Abraham’s faith that brought about his righteous state… and God purposely did all this, while Abraham was still [gasp!] uncircumcised.

The Heart of the Gospel (part 2) [Romans 3:21-26]

May 7, 2023

Sermon Notes

Date: 05/07/2023

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 3:21-26

Description:

Avg Guy: When it comes to justification, I have so many questions!

SBC Host: Okay.

Avg Guy: Well, for starters, WHAT IS IT?? … Is it MORE than the removal of sin?… Are we simply pardoned by God? And if so, how can God be JUST if he gives the wicked a pass and declares them as righteous?! Surely THAT would be a travesty of justice!

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and shows in our passage that not only does Paul address these questions, but throughout the rest of the book of Romans, he expands upon these truths.

For THIS is the heart of the gospel.
