Sovereignty & Responsibility, Pt. 2 (JICC)
Sermon Notes
Key Passage: Romans 10
Romans 1:18-20
Jude 1:22-23
1. Righteousness is received by faith, not achieved by effort
2. Salvation comes when we give our loyalty to Jesus
3. The gospel saves when the gospel is heard
"The essence of Paul’s argument is seen if we put his six verbs in the opposite order: Christ sends heralds; heralds preach; people hear; hearers believe; believers call; and those who call are saved. And the relentless logic of Paul’s case for evangelism is felt most forcibly when the stages are stated negatively and each is seen to be essential to the next. Thus, unless come people are commissioned for the task, there will be no gospel preaching; unless the gospel is preached, sinners will not hear Christ’s message and voice; unless they hear him, they will not believe the truths of his death and resurrection; unless they believe these truths, they will not call on him; and unless they call on his name, they will not be saved." -John Stott, The Message of Romans
Practical application: Go, Send, Pray, Welcome
