"THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST AND THE PROBLEM OF SIN"
INTRODUCTION
3. The gospel of Jesus Christ answers the problem of the "love" of sin
by commanding us to have "faith," in particular, to "believe in
Christ"
a. E.g., notice Mk 16:15-16
b. Faith can be defined as "a strong conviction, assurance"
c. When we come to have the right kind of faith, we will come to no
longer love sin, but even to hate it!
d. As the Psalmist expressed in Ps 119:104
B. FAITH THAT JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS BECAUSE GOD LOVED US...
1. Believing that Jesus died for our sins is a necessary part of
the gospel - 1Co 15:1-3
2. Understand...Jesus died for OUR sins!
a. Just as the Scriptures foretold He would - Isa 53:4-6
b. Why, because God loves us! - Jn 3:16; Ro 5:8
[This is the kind of faith called for in obedience to the gospel, and
the kind of faith which effectively deals with the love of sin! But how
does one gain this kind of faith?
Faith comes from the Word of God (Ro 10:17). Indeed, as the apostles of
Christ proclaimed the gospel, they presented evidence designed to
create faith in the hearts of their listeners...]
[To accept their testimony and the fact of the resurrection is not
only rational, it is the beginning of the kind of faith which will
come to hate sin! But there is even more evidence which creates this
kind of faith...]
CONCLUSION
Do you have that kind of faith which the gospel both gives and
requires...a loving and obedient faith?
