  5. He is Able Philippians 3:21 • Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

  6. He's able, He's able, I know He's able,I know my Lord is able to carry me thru.He's able, He's able, I know He's able,I know my Lord is able to carry me thru.He healed the broken hearted and set the captive free,He made the lame to walk again and caused the blind to see;He's able, He's able, I know He's able,I know my Lord is able to carry me thru. By Paul E. Paino

  7. Strengthen & Establish Look at Romans 8:28-39

  8. He is Able Ephesians 3:20 • Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

  9. He is Able 2 Corinthians 9:8 • And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

  10. Question What is the power (dynamite) of God? (Rom 1:16)

  11. The Power of God Romans 1:16 • For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: • for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; • to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

  12. Who’s Gospel Romans 16:25 • Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel

  13. Fact There is no Divine dynamite outside of the gospel.

  14. Person & Work of Christ Romans 16:25 • And the preaching of Jesus Christ Three Words: Power + Gospel + Jesus Christ

  15. Think of it Like This If the Gospel was a motion picture then the main character would be Jesus Christ and the director would be God.

  16. Review in Romans • The Gospel of God (1:1) • The Gospel of His Son (1:9) • The Gospel of Christ (1:16) • My Gospel (2:16) • Gospel of Peace (10:15) • Gospel of God (15:16) • Gospel of Christ (15:19) • My Gospel (16:25) It is the Father who ordained a plan whereby HIs glory would be made known to all the world through the gospel in the exaltation of the Person and Work of His Son!

  17. Think Like This If the Gospel was a motion picture then the plot fully develops the Person and Work of Christ

  18. Person & Work of Christ Romans 16:25 • And the preaching of Jesus Christ What does it mean to preach Jesus?

  19. Preaching Jesus The Person of Christ The Work of Christ Creator Sustainer of the Universe Ultimate Revealer of God Prophet/Teacher Sinless Lamb of God Priest/Savior Victorious Resurrected Lord of Lords King & Advocate Coming Again • Eternal Son of God • Jesus Christ • 2d Person of the Trinity • The “I AM” of Exodus • Fully Human • Virgin Born/Incarnation • Sinless Life • Tempted in All Points

  20. The Gospel The Person and Work of Christ the Human Response must include: Repentance (turn) toward God Confessing Faith (trust) in the Lord Jesus Christ

  21. The Mystery of Christ Romans 16:25 • According to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began Who kept it a mystery?

  22. Ordained by God Romans 16:26 • But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, This helps me understand why I don’t see a Triune God in the OT as clearly as the NT

  23. Paul’s Message • The physical manifestation of Jesus now helps me understand the mystery that was hidden in the prophetic books of the Old Testament. By the Scripture of the prophets.

  24. Abraham the Prophet Genesis 20:7 • Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

  25. Moses the Prophet Deuteronomy 34:10 • And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,

  26. David the Prophet Acts 2:29–30 • Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

  27. Other Prophets • Aaron • Samuel • Nathan • Gad • Ahijah • Jehu • Elijah • Elisha • Isaiah • Jeremiah • Ezekiel • Hosea • Joel • Amos • Obadiah • Jonah • Enoch • Noah • Job • Abraham • Moses • David • Micah • Nahum • Habakkuk • Zephaniah • Haggai • Zechariah • Malachi

  28. Job the Prophet James 5:10-11 • Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. • Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

  29. Job 19:25 • For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

  30. Global Outreach • But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting god, made known to all nations

  31. Why is the gospel of Christ being made known? Look at v. 26

  32. Authenticate Faith • For the obedience of faith Function Word Indicating Purpose

  33. Obedience to the Gospel Acts 6:7 • 7And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

  34. Authenticate Faith • For the obedience of faith • For the obedience to Christ No Jesus Christ, No Gospel No Gospel, No Faith

  35. Question What are the 2 greatest commandments of the Christian Faith?

  36. Mark 12:30-31 • And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. • And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. • There is none other commandment greater than these.

  37. Romans 15:18 • For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, Paul’s confines his message to what Christ has done in his life to “make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed”

  38. In the New Covenant The call to repent and put your faith in the Christ is an invitation to receive divine dynamite to enable you to serve God like never before.

  39. Jeremiah the Prophet Jeremiah 31:31 • Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: But you say, “I am not a Jew!”

  40. The Mystery Ephesians 5:31–32 • For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. • This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

  41. Turn Back to Romans 11 The Mystery of the Gentile Church & Israel

  42. God is NOT “ok” • “Saved” people: • Refusing to be baptized • Blowing off the local church • Failing to use their spiritual gifts • Not growing as Christians • Skipping corporate worship • Spending all their money on themselves • Remaining ignorant concerning the Word of God

  43. James 2:18, 20 and 26 • Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. • But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? • For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

  44. Another Mystery 1 Corinthians 15:51-58

  45. 1 Corinthians 15:51-53 • Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. • For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

  46. 1 Corinthians 15:54-56 • 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, • Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

  47. 1 Corinthians 15:57-58 • But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. • Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
