INTRO: We are in the process of preparing to look at Romans 7. We have briefly covered chapters 1-3 and the message is this: All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Every person has sinned, and that sin condemns them to a life in bondage to sin and to hell. But God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. So God paid a price sufficient for every person ever to come into existence to be saved. And how will God do that? Well, first, the sins every person has committed have to be taken care of. That is what justification is all about and that is what chapters 4-6 are about. When a sinner repents of his or her sins and they put their faith in Jesus Christ's finished work on the cross, they are justified before God. They are declared to be righteous. This justification did not happen on the ground that God made them righteous, but because God declared them righteous. He could declare them righteous because Jesus Christ had taken their place in death. His death satisfied the law that said the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
