Matthew 625-33 - Do Not Worry

• JESUS SAID 25 "Therefore I tell you, do not
  worry about your life, what you will eat or
  drink or about your body, what you will wear. Is
  not life more important than food, and the body
  more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds
  of the air they do not sow or reap or store away
  in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds
  them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

8
Matthew 625-33 - Do Not Worry

• JESUS SAID
• 27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour
  to his life? 28 "And why do you worry about
  clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow.
  They do not labour or spin. 29 Yet I tell you
  that not even Solomon in all his splendour was
  dressed like one of these.

9
Matthew 625-33 - Do Not Worry

• JESUS SAID
• 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the
  field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown
  into the fire, will he not much more clothe you,
  O you of little faith? 31 So do not worry,
  saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we
  drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'

10
Matthew 625-33 - Do Not Worry

• JESUS SAID
• 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and
  your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
• 33 But seek first his kingdom and his
  righteousness, and all these things will be given
  to you as well.

Scripture Reading Sermon ROMANS 828-33 (p.
1135)
21
Romans 828-33

• More Than Conquerors
•  28 And we know that in all things God works for
  the good of those who love him, who have been
  called according to his purpose.
• 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to
  be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he
  might be the firstborn among many brothers.

22
Romans 828-33

• 30 And those he predestined, he also called
  those he called, he also justified those he
  justified, he also glorified.  
• 31 What, then, shall we say in response to this?
  If God is for us, who can be against us?

23
Romans 828-33

• 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him
  up for us allhow will he not also, along with
  him, graciously give us all things?
• 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom
  God has chosen? It is God who justifies.

24
SERMON Romans 830(p. 1135)
25
Romans 830

• And those he predestined,
• he also called
• those he called,
• he also justified
• those he justified,
• he also glorified.

26
1 GOD JUSTIFIES BUT WHAT IS IT?

• Its a LEGAL word. The opposite of condemn.
• It is the VERDICT that God declares on those who
  put their faith in Jesus.
• It is not about having a perfect character, but
  it is about having a perfect STATUS.
• IMPUTE swapping credits and debts.

27
2 WHY TALK ABOUT JUSTIFICATION IN THE GOLDEN
CHAIN?

• 30 Why not say adopt, or reconcile, or
  redeem?
• Pauls letter takes us into Gods Courtroom The
  Bible insists that God is a judge.
• If we are going to meet God, we need His mercy
  and His justice.

28
3 GOD JUSTIFIES BUT HOW DOES THIS AFFECT ME?

• You enjoy ACCEPTANCE with God.
• You enjoy the FINAL VERDICT today! There is no
  exam to pass.
• You know now that God is FOR YOU! (31, 34, 35)
• You need (like Luther) to TEACH YOURSELF this
  truth of justification every day.

29
Psalm 1301-8 (p. 173)
1 LORD, from the depths I call to you 2 Lord,
hear me from on high And give attention to my
voice when I for mercy cry.

30
Psalm 1301-8 (2/4)
3 LORD, in your presence who can stand, if you
our sins record? 4 But yet forgiveness is with
you, that we may fear you, LORD.

31
Psalm 1301-8 (3/4)
5 I waitmy soul waitsfor the LORD my hope is
in his word. 6 More than the watchman waits for
dawn my soul waits for the Lord.

32
Psalm 1301-8 (4/4)
7 O Isrel, put your hope in God, for mercy is
with him 8 And full redemption. From their
sins his people hell redeem.
