Time Well Spent with Cornelius F. Warren featuring Elder Sam Fisher

Feel free to ask questions or share comments.While the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, recount the life of Jesus Christ, the book of Romans explores the significance of His sacrificial death. As such, it has been called “the gospel according to Paul.” In a question and answer format, Romans is the most systematic presentation of doctrine in the Bible. But the Good News is more than theology pondered; it is a life to be lived – a life of righteousness, befitting one whom God declares, “not guilty” of offending Him if we trust in Jesus Christ. Join Pastor Cornelius F. Warren and Elder S.E. Fisher, Sr. in this powerful time of biblical teaching. In verses 6-8, Paul is explaining further (“for”) this life-changing truth of God’s great love for us as sinners. In doing so, he is showing why our hope of heaven will not disappoint us: “and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (verse 5). This, as we saw last time, is a continuation of the blessings of being justified by faith, which include: peace with God (verse 1); access into God’s grace: (verse 2); hope of the glory of God; and, joy in our trials, knowing that God is using them to develop perseverance, proven character and hope: (verses 3-4). The thing that anchors our hope is this abundant outpouring of God’s love within our hearts through the Holy Spirit. So now Paul shows us why God’s love is a sure thing and thus, our hope of heaven is sure:Our hope of heaven is secure because it is based on God’s love that sent Christ to die for us while we were yet sinners.Call (917) 889-9158
