  1. ROSE Romans 5:6-8

  2. Romans 5:6-8 Romans 5:6-8 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

  3. 1. Rubbish= Trash

  4. God demonstrates His love for the lost - Vs.6Rom 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.A) He loves the helplessHelpless (NAS)Powerless (NIV)Weak (RSV)Without strength (NKJV)Utterly helpless, with no way of escape (TLB)

  5. The word usually refers to a physical weakness – here spiritual. Man’s nature is :Helpless.Hopeless.Unable and incapable of saving itself.

  6. Man may change on the outside by : Developing disciplines.Following moral philosophies. Becoming educated.Learning new patterns of speaking and thinking.This modifies his actions but doesn’t change his nature. Man has tried legislation : resulting in overcrowded jails. Man has tried education : now man commits white collar crime. Man has tried social reformation (Prohibition) : it only leads to a black market. But his nature is still fallen.

  7. The Bible does not teach "God helps those who help themselves." "God helps those who admit they can’t help themselves."When you come to the point where you say "I can’t do it", (end of the rope)He says "I have been waiting for you to get here so I can help you.

  8. B) He loves the ungodlyHe didn’t die for Himself – He had no sin to die for.He didn’t die for angels – they don’t need salvation. He died for man. He didn’t die for the self-righteous, they have no need of Him. He died for the ungodly.

  9. Mark 2:17 ...They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

  10. The ungodly who repents : - Realizes he has a need that is beyond himself. - Can’t rely on his own morality. - Loves God out of gratefulness for deliverance from wrath. What affect does His love have on my life ? It makes me Love Him.Have an abiding relationship. Want to live a life of obedience and good works.

  11. 2. Redeemed= Rescued

  12. II) God demonstrates the extent of His love - Vs. 7Rom 5:7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. A) The extent of man’s loveSome are willing to die for another - but it is a risk. What if they don’t appreciate it ?What if they forget about it ?

  13. B) The extent of God’s loveThe difference between man’s love and God’s love is... : Man’s love is limited, God’s is unlimited.Man’s is imperfect (He wants something in return, ulterior motives, etc...), God’s is perfect.Man’s is conditional, God’s is unconditional.

  14. The section of praise to God the Son begins at a familiar place – the cross. The cross of Christ is where our redemption was purchased, it is what makes forgiveness possible. And it is through this blood of Christ that we have redemption. The idea of “redemption” is a bit of a stretch for us to really understand today.

  15. It is the idea of being set free or rescued. Being bought back out of slavery or prison, and restored. Many of us have absolutely no idea what it means to be enslaved – to be stripped of any personal rights, dignity, or freedom. To become property of another – no longer human but merely a thing to be used, abused, or neglected entirely at the whim of someone else who “owns” you. We can’t imagine what it means to literally have shackles on our ankles, which limit our ability to move farther than the short chain might allow.

  16. Jesus paid our debt, assuming the responsibility, in fact exchanging places with you and I in the shackles. Being redeemed means that someone from the outside has come to us in our helplessness and set us free.That is the essence of the cross of Christ. Because of our sin, we were enslaved. We were trapped. We were helpless. Without dignity, without humanity, without hope.

  17. And then God. And you know, the Gospel – the good news – is as simple as that: we were lost, but God… And so Jesus came to rescue us. He came to liberate us. He came to set us free. He redeemed us – buying us back from the slavery to sin and enabling us to be free to be in relationship with God.

  18. The irony about our slavery to sin is that many have gotten so used to it that they think it is normal – even a good place. After a while of living in the garbage dump, the smell sort of becomes unnoticeable, a half-eaten sandwich discarded days ago becomes a feast. We become accustomed to it, and never think that we might be missing out on so much more that is freely offered.

  19. 3. Get Ready

  20. III) God demonstrates His love in the death of ChristRom 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

  21. We have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. The slate is wiped clean, the balance owing reduced to zero, the guilty verdict changed to not guilty. All of the things that we have done that are wrong, all of the things we have failed to do that are right, are wiped away in one act of God in Christ. And you and I are set free. Any time you and I realize our sinfulness, it is tempting to be overwhelmed by it and to despair. But the offer of God is forgiveness.

  22. So I need to ask you – are you free? Have the shackles fallen, have you accepted the liberty offered you, have you ran as fast as possible from the place where you were trapped? “In him we have redemption.” If you haven’t, I proclaim to you this moment that freedom is offered to you – right here and right now. Christ is alive and wants to set you free. What you must do is believe – have faith, repent – and then experience true freedom.

  23. If He has set you free, have you wandered back to your old master and picked up where you left off? That is what happens when we are freed by Jesus but continue to live sinful lives – we voluntarily return to the plantation.

  24. We are no longer stuck there – because of Jesus we can come and go as we please – but sometimes we are enticed back by empty promises. If that is descriptive of where you are at spiritually this morning, I beg you to come home. Leave the slavery behind, and experience God’s great freedom and redemption. You are missing out on so much.

  25. Get Ready for Get ready for an Get Ready for Get Ready for an Advocate

  26. Get Ready For real love nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God That is the Gospel – simple, yet powerful beyond our imagination. In Christ we have redemption and forgiveness. We can be free.
