God Grants Righteousness To Me

Lesson 6

September 6, 2023 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Romans 4:3–8, Philippians 3:9

Give

The gospel is good news to me because God grants (imputes) righteousness to me. God imputes the righteousness of Christ to sinners who place their faith in Christ, and He imputes the guilt of sinners to Christ. Through Jesus' death, he pays for the guilt of sin. As Paul teaches, the One who knew no sin became sin (a sin offering by taking our guilt upon Himself) so that we could be made righteous through His finished work (cf. 2 Cor. 5:21). God imputes Jesus' righteousness to us when we believe and trust in Christ as Savior.

Salvation Will Be Made Complete

March 6, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Colossians 3:4, 1 Corinthians 15:43, Romans 8:18, Romans 8:30

Glorification is the ultimate and absolute physical, mental, and spiritual perfection and transformation of each believer into the image of Christ. It is in essence the completion of our salvation.

I Can Be Assured Of My Salvation

February 28, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson

The gospel brings us a salvation that is eternally secure. God preserves us. Eternal security is God’s assurance of our salvation. God is absolutely certain of the security of our salvation because He is the one who is securing it. God saves, seals, and secures. Assurance is our confidence in God saving us and securing us. The ultimate secret to assurance of salvation is to base your present assurance of salvation on exactly what you based your past experience of salvation – FAITH in CHRIST ALONE, not in yourself.

Secured By The Son & Spirit

February 21, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson

The gospel is good news because we are preserved and secured by God the Son and the Holy Spirit. We secured by Jesus through His promises, his prayers, His substitutionary death, His resurrection, His heavenly work as our advocate and intercessor. We are preserved and secured by the Spirit through His work of regeneration, His work of placing us in union with Christ, His work of indwelling us permanently and serving as the earnest payment guaranteeing God will complete our salvation.
