This Week | May 3 – 9, 2024
May 5 | Romans – Grasping The Gospel, Romans 5:12-21, Part 15: The Free Gift of God – Pastor Mark Pospisil
Synopsis: God is a Giving God. Every good gift and blessing comes from Him. His greatest gift is free. The phrase “free gift” is repeated in Romans 5:15-17 five times. This section of Romans explains what original sin is. It shows us how and why all of humanity is trapped through Adam’s fall. Every single person is in need of only what the Lord can provide. The good news is that God gives us what we need freely and fully through Jesus. Through Christ’s sacrifice we are made righteous and can also live righteously before God.
Fighter Verse: Romans 5:18 – “Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.”
