Point 2.
Not all people are as bad as
they could be, but all
people are as bad off as
they could be
Point 3.
The various experiences of life that
lost men and women go through are
the attempts of God to get their
attention long enough to get them to
listen to the gospel one time.
Point 4.
The final end of mankind is proof
positive we have a disease.
Point 5.
It is because all the
world is guilty that
every sinner must
come individually
and surrender to
Jesus Christ or else
never get to heaven.
Point 6.
All legalism does is give you a
standard that brings out the
carnality that is in you.
Thesis:
There is no way man can attain
righteousness with God by
starting from himself.
Point 1.
The one sin people go to Hell for is
rejecting the righteousness of God.
Definition:
Justification is righteousness
provided by means of a legal
declaration.
Definition:
Redemption is the
payment of the
price required to
set a prisoner free
from sin.
Definition:
The word propitiation means
a payment that makes God
pity us because it satisfies
his offended justice.
Point 2.
God was
satisfied by the
divine blood of
the Son of God,
not just by his
death.
Point 3.
When God dealt
with sin publicly
he dealt with it
permanently.
Point 4.
In order to be saved, you have to let
God select what satisfies him.
Definition:
The word
remission
literally
means to
send back or
send away.
Definition:
Forbearance is God’s self-restraint in
the Old Testament at punishing sin
because of his foreknowledge of the
cross.

WHAT ROME BELIEVES IN CONTRA WHAT ROMANS TEACHES
1. Inspiration, but not of scripture ALONE Rome adds tradition
2. Intercession, but not of Christ ALONE Rome adds dead Catholics
3. Salvation, but not by grace through faith ALONE Rome adds sacraments and sacramentals
4. Forgiveness, but not through Christ ALONE Rome adds the priests and bishops
5. Headship, but not of Christ ALONE Rome adds the Pope and his Cardinals
6. Righteousness, but not by Christ ALONE (justification) Rome adds religious merit
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
• For the Jew, "by faith" meant faith
formed the basis for his works in
bringing a sacrifice
• For the Gentile, "through faith"
means salvation by faith apart from
ANY works of the law
Point 5.
You are saved by grace so
you can live by grace.
Definition:
Reconciliation
means to bring
two parties back
into union.
THE SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
1. Salvation: deliverance to get God's health2. Redemption: purchasing to get God's freedom3. Reconciliation: uniting to get God's fellowship4. Propitiation: satisfying to get God's mercy5. Expiation: purging to get God's cleansing6. Sanctification: setting apart to get God's holiness7. Imputation: accounting or reckoning to get God's merit8. Justification: declaring righteous to get God's life
Thesis:
Under the old dispensation
somebody could fake the works if
they did not have the faith, but God
closed that loophole with grace.
Definition:
• Justification by faith is the way sinners
are declared righteous because they are
provided the righteousness of Christ to
establish a relationship with God.
• Justification by works is when God deals
with you in time (not eternally), so men see
what you do, and what you do before men
demonstrates your relationship to God.

Point 1.
Justification by works is for the
benefit of men, not the benefit of God.
Point 2.
Salvation in any dispensation is
always the same, it is always by faith;
salvation is always linked to believing
what God says enough to do it.
Point 3.
Work gives you the right to demand,
and God will never be put in a
position where man can demand
anything of him.
If I were asked, “Why is a man damned?” I should answer
as an Arminian answers, “He destroys himself.” I should
not dare to lay man’s ruin at the door of divine sovereignty.
On the other hand, if I were asked, “Why is a man saved?”
I could only give the Calvinistic answer, “He is saved
through the sovereign grace of God, and not at all of
himself.”
My God is not a mere omnipotent being, who can rule dead
materialism; but he can rule free agents, leaving them
absolutely free, and yet effecting all his purposes with them.
God’s eternal purposes are accomplished, and yet men
remain responsible free agents both in their beginning and
in their ending.
—C.H. Spurgeon

Point 4.
God takes the posture of God, but
he does it from a position of love
and purpose.
Definition:
Counted (or reckon) means to credit
to your account; to take an inventory
and calculate.
Point 5.
God forgave David on the basis of
his faith in God, not on the basis of
what he could offer.
Point 6.
It is possible to have the internal
reality without the external sign.
PUTTING TOGETHER THE TYPES
• Abraham is a type of the Father,
needing an heir
• Isaac is a type of the Son, needing
a bride
• Daniel is a type of the Holy Spirit,
needing nothing
DEFINITION:
Faith is walking by the
word of God instead of
walking by sight; hope is
believing the word of God
instead of believing the
circumstances.
FOUR STAGES IN ABRAHAM'S FAITH
1. Not weak in faith, v 19 (Gen 12)
2. Not staggering at faith, v 20 (Gen 13)
3. Strong in faith, v 20 (Gen 17)
4. Fully persuaded, v 21 (Gen 22)
DEFINITION:
Faith is being persuaded of
God’s promise so as to
usher in God’s
performance.
Point 7.
The perfection of the object of our
faith makes up for any imperfection
in the believer.
