The sermon titled "Storm Warning #91" addresses the Reformed theological doctrine of justification by faith, emphasizing that sinners are justified solely through the righteousness of Christ. The preachers present key arguments about the absolute necessity of Christ's righteousness for salvation, citing Scriptures such as Jeremiah 23:6 and Romans 3:24 to underline that complete justification comes from God alone. They argue that any attempts at self-justification are futile and stress the importance of recognizing Christ as our righteousness, as illustrated in 1 Corinthians 1:30 and Philippians 3:9. The practical significance lies in the assurance that believers can find rest in Christ, who fulfills the perfect standard required by God, ultimately leading to a transformative relationship with Him and the promise of eternal life.
“A perfect righteousness is needed to grant us admission to heaven. We, moreover, know that we cannot find this righteousness within ourselves.”
“Salvation is holy of grace, not only undeserved, but undesired by us, until God is pleased to awaken us to a sense of our need of it.”
“If Christ is not God manifest in the flesh, the eternal Yahweh come to earth, then we have no salvation.”
“Today is the day of salvation. Call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ while he may be found, and seek him while he is near.”
