“ Summary, Part 3 (final) ” 2. JESUS WAS DELIVERED UP TO DEATH BECAUSE OF OUR TRANSGRESSIONS [39:08]. Is 53:5-6 – Jesus was born into this world to die for sinners. His name means ‘Jehovah saves’. B. THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS VALIDATED BY JESUS’ RESURRECTION [42:00]. What if Jesus had remained in the grave? “Good Friday” may have been known as “Bad Friday”, for what hopeful thing would have followed? His resurrection confirms that God has dropped all charges against the elect and that they are kept forever (cf. 2 Cor 5:21). Is 53:10 – A cross with Jesus hanging on it is blasphemy. He is risen. For whom was He delivered? For those who have the faith of Abraham. Do you have this faith?

“ Summary, Part 2 ” II. THE CHRISTIAN FAITH TRUSTS IN THE FATHER WHO RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD (v. 24) [18:42]. Just as Abraham trusted God to make him the father of nations through his barren wife, so we trust God to raise us from death. Abraham’s test was the sacrifice of Isaac, his only son. But how could he do that to the heir of the covenant? He trusted that God would resurrect him (Heb 11:19). III. THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS ESTABLISHED BY JESUS’ DEATH AND RESURRECTION (v. 25) [26:14]. In 1 Cor 15:1-7, Paul lays out the fundamental truths of the gospel and then explains their necessity to the faith. Without the truth of resurrection, there is no good news for anyone. A. THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS GROUNDED IN JESUS’ DEATH [29:55]. 1. JESUS WAS DELIVERED UP TO DEATH. It was the Father who delivered the Son up to death; it was not done by men only. Acts 3:13 cannot be taken alone; Acts 2:22-23 provides the metaphysic for the physical acts of unholy men (cf. Acts 4:27-28, Rom 8:32, Gal 2:20). Men’s wicked deeds accomplished what was intended, but behind them was God’s will to bring about the means of salvation for sinners.

“ Summary, Part 1 ” For sinners, there is no more important issue than being right with God. In Rom 4, Paul explains again and again that grace, not works, is what the sinner needs. Salvation is prompted by God, not us. Abraham’s faith was a result of that prompting, not the cause, and it is the same with our own faith. I. THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME IN THE OLD TESTAMENT AS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT (v. 23) [starting at 10:00 of the audio]. A. ABRAHAM’S JUSTIFICATION IS THE PATTERN FOR THE JUSTIFICATION OF ALL BELIEVERS. It has always been the same. A dispensational error teaches that works righteousness was the pattern of salvation before Christ. Faith has always come by hearing, and hearing has always come by the word of God. B. WHAT WE MUST BELIEVE TO BE JUSTIFIED HAS EXPANDED SINCE ABRAHAM’S DAY [15:49]. There was more revelation after Abraham (Heb 1:1-2, 2 Pet 3:2, Jude 3), and the times were not yet full regarding God’s redemptive plan. Abraham’s seed was Jesus Christ.
