Justification & Federal Union

About this sermon

The theme is security. This salvation that has been brought to us by faith in Christ, due to His full and finished work, is a permanent salvation. Those who have truly experienced this salvation, when they understand why they are secure enjoy assurance. The results of Justification (vs.1-5) The reason for Justification (vs.6-11) The RELATIONSHIP of Justification (vs.12-21) It is amazing to pay attention to the way that the Lord presents this case to us through the apostle Paul. We go to higher and higher reasons for God’s people to enjoy assurance. He moves us from the POSITION enjoyed by those who have been saved, to the PURPOSE that explains that position, and now to the PERSON in whom this salvation is found, enjoyed and protected. The position we have been brought into was completely dependent and still is on the success of the One in whom we are saved. God’s Son is the victor, God’s Son is the conqueror, God’s Son is the one who had to win the day, God’s Son is the one who had to save His people from their sins, and having done all that is necessary to save them, they will be saved.
