, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.

have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single

Slide41. Right with God
P
. 183 -
Romans 3:21 (
NLT)
But
now
God has shown us
a way to be made right with him
without keeping
the requirements of the law,
as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long
ago…
P. 379
- Hebrews
9:22 (NLT)
In
fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the
shedding of blood
, there is no forgiveness.
Slide51. Right with God
Leviticus 16:7-10 (NLT)
Then
he
(Aaron) must take
the
two male goats
and present them to the LORD at the entrance of the Tabernacle. He is to cast sacred lots to determine which goat will be
reserved as an offering to the LORD
and which will
carry the sins of the people to the wilderness
of
Azazel
. Aaron will then
present as a sin offering
the goat chosen by lot for the LORD.
“Propitiation” = “God is satisfied”
The
other goat, the scapegoat chosen by lot to be
sent away, will be kept alive
, standing before the LORD. When
it is sent away to
Azazel
in the wilderness, the people will be purified and made right with the LORD.
“Expiation” = “Sin is removed”
Slide61. Right with God
P
. 183 - Romans
3:21-26 (NLT)
We
are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ.
And this is true for
everyone who believes
, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.
Yet
God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he
freed us from the penalty for our sins
. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin.
People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood
. for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness
,…
for he himself is fair and just, and he declares sinners to be
right in his sight
when they
believe in Jesus.
Slide71. Right with God
P. 188 - Romans
8:1 (NLT)
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.
Slide82. Transformed Life
Romans 12:1-2
(p. 196)
And
so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to
give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you
. Let them be
a living and holy sacrifice
—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
Don’t
copy the behavior and customs of this world, but
let God transform you into a new person
by
changing the way you think
. Then you will learn to know
God’s will for you
, which is
good and pleasing and perfect
.
Slide9Transformed life: World’s thinking vs. New thinking

think you are better than you really are

yourselves…

Life Transformation
Slide14Romans 8:35-39 (NLT)
I
am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
