ADDRESSES ON ROMANS
Abraham looked forward and believed what God was going to do through Christ's death and resurrection; we look back and see what the God of resl!rrection has already done! Every- thing we have and are is ours by the grace of God. We believe in the Christ who was "delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification." All the promises of our faith center around the empty tomb! Justification apart from the law, by grace, through faith. without works-this has ever been God's method of saving sinners. He requires righteousness, but the guilty world has no righteousness to offer to a holy God. Only through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus can man be justified. It was by faith that Abraham and David and all the Old Testa- ment saints were saved; and it is by faith that you and I and every redeemed sinner shall see God, and dwell in His pres- ence forever. Will you not accept this free gift of God's righteousness, my unsaved brother? On the mercy seat there is the sprinkled blood-for you. The God of justice is the God of love. Enter by faith into His presence by the way of His cross, and you shall know Him as your Saviour, your everlasting Father, and your loving Lord, now and forevermore.
