The Just Shall Live By Faith (Remastered)

A Sermon on Romans 1.16-17 https://www.mljtrust.org/sermons/book... "Faith does not only mean a belief, it doesn't only mean an intellectual assent. It does mean that, but it means more than that. There are these three essential elements in faith: believing, being persuaded, and acting. In other words, the mind is involved, the heart is involved, and the will is involved." ―Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Description What is the theme of the gospel? How might a believer summarize its content? In this sermon “The Just shall Live by Faith” from Romans 1.16-17, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones draws attention to the gospel’s content. The heart of the gospel is that the righteousness of the Son, Christ Jesus, is given to Christians by faith. Faith in this regard is the whole faith position, not just an instrument by which we become righteous. What is faith? It is a big term that embraces a number of ideas, including the ideas of belief and intellectual assent. But faith is not limited to the life of the mind. It also includes an active living, a participation in living in obedience to God. The mind, heart, and will are involved in such a way that by the Spirit, the believer is moved into a life lived by faith that involves each of these capacities. Dr. Lloyd-Jones urges the listener to examine themselves to consider if the mind and the body are working together to live by faith. Sermon Breakdown Paul is explaining why he is not ashamed of the gospel in Romans 1.16-17. * The gospel reveals the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ. Verse 17 quotes Habakkuk 2:4, "The just shall live by faith." This means the righteous will have eternal life through faith. In verse 18, Paul says God's wrath is revealed against all ungodliness and unrighteousness. This is true for both Jews and Gentiles. Someone might object that God's wrath seems unfair for Gentiles who did not receive God's revelation like the Jews. Paul addresses this objection in Romans 1:19-32. God has revealed himself to all people through creation, so all are without excuse. The Gentiles who did not worship God were given over to sin as punishment. Someone might say not all people live immoral lives like those described in Romans 1. Paul addresses this in Romans 2:1-16. God judges based on one's actions, not one's words or knowledge. God's kindness should lead one to repentance. Simply believing God is loving is not enough. One must live for God's glory. All people, whether Jews or Gentiles, will be judged based on their relationship with God, not by the law they know. Someone might say Jews have an advantage because they have the law and circumcision. Paul addresses this in Romans 2:17-29. Merely having the law and circumcision does not save. One must have circumcision of the heart, not just the flesh. True Jews are those who are Jews inwardly. Paul asks if there is any advantage to being a Jew or profit in circumcision based on what he has said. He answers in Romans 3:1-8. There are advantages to being a Jew, like receiving God's revelation. However, these advantages do not save. Salvation is still only by faith. Paul shows in Romans 3:9-20 that the law condemns both Jews and Gentiles as unrighteous before God. The law cannot save. Paul concludes that every mouth is silenced and the whole world is guilty before God based on the arguments he has made. The only way to be justified before God is by faith in Jesus Christ.
