The following outline is provided by my colleague, Ian Touzel.
Every eight weeks I take the services at two smaller churches that are part of our parish. Tomorrow we’ll be examining Mark 6:14-29. But for those of you following Romans, here’s Ian’s outline:
1) God’s righteousness revealed in Christ’s cross.
2) God’s righteousness defended against criticism.
3) God’s righteousness illustrated in Abraham.
(These notes are part of the third point listed above.)
Justification deals with our position of guilt by acquittal and acceptance.
Sanctification deals with our condition of pollution by a new heart and a new life.
(This is his final application.)
The takeaway: Abraham’s faith and your faith.
That’s your lot.
