God’s Love for Sinners

Romans 5:1   Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

3  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

4  And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

5  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

6  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7  For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

11  And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Introduction: John 3:17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Mt 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Mr 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

1. More education will not save a man only the grace of God

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God

II. More money will not save a man only the blood of Jesus will wash away sin

Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

III. More of man’s goodness will not save a man only the righteousness of Jesus Christ

Ro 3:25  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

IV.  More of this world will not save a man, only the mercy of God’s love will save a man’s soul

Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost

Conclusion: Without God’s great love we would all drop into hell without hope

Ps 39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

Ps 71:5 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.

Php 1:20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
