11. 11. Romans 1:1, the gospel of God NAU Romans 1:1 set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures, What is the gospel of God of the OT? The phrase the gospel of God is not used in the OT. But the good news message in the OT is that the Messiah would come to earth, defeat His enemies, set up an earthly kingdom, seated on the throne of David, restore nature, and the Jews. Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, 11:11, 63:1, Psalm 2:6-12, 23, 45:3-6 (Heb 1:8), 110:2
12. 12. Romans 1:1, the gospel of God The Berean Call says, The phrase the Gospel of God (7 Xs in KJV) is only used by Paul. The one passion of Paul's life was to proclaim the Gospel of God. He welcomed heart-breaks, disillusionments, tribulation, for one reason only, because these things kept him in unmoved devotion to the Gospel of God. --Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest) DLK adds, However, there is a textual variant resulting in the NAU using it also in; Mark 1:14.
13. 13. Romans 1:1, the gospel of God The phrase the gospel of God is used 8 Xs in the NT, in the present, passed, and future tense.

NAU Luke 17:20 Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; 21 nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst."
15. 15. Romans 1:1, my gospel (Paul) Paul referred to my gospel 3Xs; NAU Romans 2:16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.

Hang in there, the King is coming, He will, destroy His enemies, restore everything, and set up His Kingdom.
17. 17. Romans 1:1, an eternal gospel NAU Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; 7 and he said with a loud voice, "Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters." 8 And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion of her immorality." 9 Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 "And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, The eternal gospel is still yet different. A warning of judgment to Earth Dwellers.

21. 21. Romans 1:8, 8:22, TODAY'S CREATION MOMENT Ancient Maps Of The World early Western Han periodOne of the more well-known maps is the circular Harris map. China is depicted in the center of the map, surrounded by the rest of the world. The map does contain labels for many features around the world. Early Chinese mapmakers were fond of naming a land after a distinctive creature found there. For example, Australia which is accurately depicted as being south of China is called "Land of the Fire Rat people." This is thought to be a reference to the red kangaroo, which is common there. North America is described fairly accurately as being about 3,300 miles east to west and north to south. Ancient Chinese mapmakers were fascinated with the Columbia River system of the American Northwest because on a map it looks like the Chinese characters for the word "dragon." Because of this feature, the map calls North America "Uncle Dragon Country." The claims that 4,000 years ago man could not have known this much about the world are based on evolution. As more becomes known, the facts of history are combining with the facts of science to disprove evolution. Notes: Across Before Columbus?, pp. 279 282.

23. 23. Romans 1:15, 6:8, A Mission Field, With Or Without Christ 1 Corinthians 9:16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel. Every life without Christ is a mission field; every life with Christ is a missionary. Author Unknown
24. 24. Romans 1:16, To The Jew First NAU Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. ...[T]he problem isn't political, the problem isn't sociological, the problem isn't about lack of education or lack of dialogue. The problem is a spiritual one. The problem is that there is an adversary of God, of Israel, of Christians. Dr. Paul Wilkinson (Addressing replacement theology and Christian Palestinianism)
25. 25. Romans 1:16, Preaching The Gospel Compass notes that the word, Gospel, literally translated, means "good news." It's not good advice on how to live, and it certainly doesn't mean we should build a better world or personal life. It simply means God has provided a way out of hell and into heaven as a free gift to all who trust Jesus with their destiny. Paul said: I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you stand, by which you are saved. . . . Christ died for our sins...was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 We are encouraged to share this good news in every situation where God opens a door. praying . . . that God may open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ. Colossians 4:3 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. Romans 1:16
26. 26. Romans 1:17, Our Righteousness Was By Christs Obedience To God's Law NAU Acts 17:31 because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead. NAU Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. (Hab 2:4) NAU Romans 3:21 But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; 27

28. 28. Deuteronomy 9:4, OT Righteousness Was By Obedience To God's Law Every human being who does not end up in hell will be in heaven only for one reason, Jesus Christ, saved by Gods grace through faith. Everyone's ultimate righteousness (from Adam on) was only by Christs perfect obedience to God's Law, sinless life, sacrificial death, burial, and resurrection. NAU Jeremiah 33:16 'In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety; and this is the name by which she shall be called: the LORD is our righteousness.' 17 "For thus says the LORD, 'David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; NAU 2 Corinthians 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

31. 31. THE END 32
32. 32. Question: "What is common grace?" Question: "What is common grace?" Answer:The doctrine of common grace pertains to the sovereign grace of God bestowed upon all of mankind regardless of theirelection. In other words, God has always bestowed His graciousness on all people in all parts of the earth at all time. Although the doctrine of common grace has always been clear in Scripture, in 1924, the Christian Reformed Church (CRC) adopted the doctrine of common grace at the Synod of Kalamazoo (Michigan) and formulated what is known as the three points of common grace. The first point pertains to the favorable attitude of God toward all His creatures, not only toward the elect. The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made (Psalm 145:9). Jesus said God causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous (Matthew 5:45) and God is kind to the ungrateful and wicked (Luke 6:35). Barnabas and Paul would later say the same thing: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy (Acts 14:17). In addition to His compassion, goodness, and kindness, God also sheds His patience upon both the elect and the non-elect. While Gods patience for His own is undoubtedly different from His patience with those whom He has not chosen, God still exercises longsuffering toward those whom He has not chosen (Nahum 1:3). Every breath that the wicked man takes is an example of the mercy of our holy God. The second point of common grace is the restraint of sin in the life of the individual and in society. Scripture records God directly intervening and restraining individuals from sinning. InGenesis 20, God restrained Abimelech from touching Sarah, Abrahams wife, and affirmed it to him in a dream by saying, Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against me. That is why I did not let you touch her (Genesis 20:6). Another example of God restraining the wicked hearts of evil men is seen in Gods protection of the land of Israel from being invaded by the pagan nations on their border. God commanded the men of Israel that three times a year they would leave their plot of land to go and appear before Him (Exodus 34:23). To ensure the protection of Gods people from invasion during these times, even though the pagan nations surrounding them desired their land year-round, God promised that no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God (Exodus 34:24). God also restrained David from taking revenge on Nabal for scorning the messengers that David sent to greet Nabal (1 Samuel 25:14). Abigail, Nabals wife, recognized Gods grace when she pleaded with David not to seek vengeance against her husband, since the Lord has kept you, my master, from bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hands (1 Samuel 25:26). David acknowledged this truth by responding, As surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, who has kept me from harming you (1 Samuel 25:34). This second point of common grace not only includes Gods restraining of evil, but also His sovereignly releasing it for His purposes. When God hardens the hearts of individuals (Exodus 4:21;Joshua 11:20;Isaiah 63:17), He does so by releasing His restraint on their hearts, thereby giving them over to the sin that resides there. In His punishment of Israel for their rebellion, God gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices (Psalm 81:11-12). The passage of Scripture best known for speaking of Gods releasing of restraint is found inRomans 1where Paul describes those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another (Romans 1:28). The third point of common grace as adopted by the CRC pertains to civic righteousness by the unregenerate. This means that God, without renewing the heart, exercises such influence that even the unsaved man is enabled to perform good deeds toward his fellow man. As Paul said of a group of unregenerate Gentiles, they do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law (Romans 2:14). The necessity of God restraining the hearts of the unredeemed becomes clear when we understand the biblical doctrine oftotal depravity. If God did not restrain the evil that resides in the hearts of all men, hearts which are deceitful and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9), humanity would have destroyed itself centuries ago. But because He works through common grace given to all men, Gods sovereign plan for history is not thwarted by their evil hearts. In the doctrine of common grace, we see Gods purposes stand, His people blessed, and His glory magnified.
