Simple Gospel - Sit Down. Be Humble.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes,ROMANS 1:16SIT DOWN. BE HUMBLE.This reveals Paul’s heart. In a sophisticated city like Rome, some might be embarrassed by a gospel centered on a crucified Jewish Savior and embraced by the lowest classes of people – but Paul is not ashamed. - GUZIKSIMPLE IS POWERFUL.1 This letter is from Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, chosen by God to be an apostle and sent out to preach his Good News. 2 God promised this Good News long ago through his prophets in the holy Scriptures. 3 The Good News is about his Son. In his earthly life he was born into King David’s family line, 4 and he was shown to be[a] the Son of God when he was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit.[b] He is Jesus Christ our Lord. 5 Through Christ, God has given us the privilege[c] and authority as apostles to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name.ROMANS 1:1-516 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave[a] his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.JOHN 3:16 “The gospel is not advice to people, suggesting that they lift themselves. It is power. It lifts them up. Paul does not say that the gospel brings power, but that it is power, and God’s power at that.”  - MORRIS23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.ROMANS 3:23Jesus showed us what it really means to be HUMAN.“I’m not a sinner because I sin, I sin because I’m a sinner.”“If missing the mark is the fruit of sin, then the root sin is PRIDE.”5 In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for“God opposes the proud     but gives grace to the humble.”[a]6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. 1 PETER 5:-7The fix to our sin problem is not trying to SIN LESS, its receiving grace from Jesus to be SINLESS.The Fix Is God’s Ferrari Grace“God opposes the proud     but gives grace to the humble.”1 PETER 5:5The Key To God’s Ferrari Grace Is Humility
