About this sermon

#romans #sermon #edyoung In this message, Ed Young explores Romans 3:21-28, presenting it as God's divine marketing strategy (1:09). He breaks down this strategy into several key components, drawing parallels to modern marketing concepts: The Product: According to Young, the product of God's marketing strategy is Jesus Christ (4:04). This new way of righteousness is made known through faith in Christ, not through works (4:31). The Testimonies: The Old Testament law and prophets serve as testimonies, witnessing and setting the course for this new plan of righteousness through Jesus (6:16). Every sacrifice, prophecy, and shadow in the Old Testament points to Jesus (7:27). The Currency: The currency required to receive this righteousness is faith (10:00). Faith connects individuals to Christ and is described as flipping a switch to activate God's righteousness (10:17). The Demographics: God's marketing strategy is for everyone, with no difference between Jew and Gentile, as all have sinned and fall short of God's glory (12:29, 17:06). The Guarantee: The ultimate guarantee offered is freedom and justification by grace (18:12). This includes justification (just as if one hadn't sinned), redemption (being freed from sin's slavery), and atonement (sins being covered and paid for by Jesus' sacrifice) (19:07). The Logo: God's logo is the empty cross, signifying that Jesus did not remain on it but rose again (23:15). The ROI (Return on Investment): The ROI is the transformation of lives (25:21). Young emphasizes that this strategy eliminates pride, exalts God's actions, shows that humans cannot measure up on their own, and is based on a relationship, not performance (27:42). Ed Young concludes by stating that we are all marketers of the Lord Jesus Christ, and unlike human marketing that says "just do it," God's message is "it's already done" (28:48, 29:09). ------ Pastor Ed Young is the senior pastor of Fellowship Church based in the DFW Metroplex, he is also an author, and conference speaker noted for his creative communication style.
