One book through which God constantly speaks is the book of Romans which must be seen as of prime importance. It commences by demonstrating in some depth that all men have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Roman 1.18-3.23). The result is that every mouth has been stopped, and the whole world is held accountable to God (Romans 3.19) It then describes how God has dealt with this problem by sending His own Son into the world to die for us so that our sin can be forgiven and we can be 'reckoned as righteous' in His sight. Thus in accordance with Romans 3.24, we can be 'reckoned as righteous by His grace as a gift through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through His blood, to be received by faith.' This means that God offers to all who will believe in Jesus Christ from the heart that: 1). He will act on our behalf by His unmerited compassion and love (His grace) - compare John 3.16) 2) He will in consequence of our believing 'account us as righteous' as a result of the redemption (deliverance by the payment of a price) that He wrought in Jesus Christ on the cross - compare Mark 10.45; 1 Peter 1.18-19. 3). As a result of the shedding of His blood on our behalf a means has been provided by which God's antipathy to our sin can be dealt with so that we are seen as acceptable in His sight (1 John 2.1-2), something which is to be received by faith alone. 4). And as a result of our believing in Him as our Saviour in this way 'There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus' (Romans 8.1.). This message is just as important for today as it ever was. So God is still speaking. |
