El sermón "Las maravillas del Señor" predicado por Joel Coyoc se centra en la alabanza a Dios por sus prodigios y en la reflexión sobre los derechos que tienen los creyentes a través de Cristo. Coyoc argumenta que, a pesar de la caída en Adán, los seres humanos, como hijos adoptivos de Dios, tienen acceso a derechos celestiales gracias a la obra redentora de Jesucristo. Utiliza textos de Salmos, especialmente el Salmo 9:4-8, para ilustrar cómo Dios actúa con justicia y legisla a favor de los oprimidos, y destaca que sus enemigos son finalmente destruidos. La doctrina de la adopción y la justificación se presentan como maravillas que deben ser contadas y recordadas por los creyentes, subrayando su responsabilidad de proclamar las obras del Señor en medio de un mundo que necesita escuchar sobre Su justicia y misericordia.

The Bible reveals that God is just and judges the world rightly, ensuring that all sins are accounted for.
The justice of God is a critical theme throughout Scripture, particularly highlighted in passages like Psalm 9:7-8, which declares that the Lord reigns forever and will judge the world with righteousness. This divine justice implies that God will vindicate the oppressed and hold wrongdoers accountable. In Christ, believers find their sins judged and punished, allowing them to stand before God as righteous due to the sacrifice of Jesus. Thus, the justice of God assures the faithful that wrongs will not go unpunished and that His righteousness prevails.
Psalm 9:7-8, Romans 3:26
Scripture consistently teaches God's sovereignty over all creation and His control over the events of history.
The sovereignty of God is affirmed throughout the Bible, exhibiting His supreme authority over all things, as seen in Psalm 9:4-5, where God is depicted as a judge who maintains justice and exercises power over nations. Historical narratives, like His dealings with Pharaoh and the Egyptian armies, demonstrate God's agency in controlling even the hearts of rulers. Believers are called to trust in this sovereignty, knowing that their lives and the unfolding of history are under God's wise and purposeful design. This trust is foundational in Christian faith, providing comfort amid uncertainty.
Psalm 9:4-5, Romans 8:28-30
Witnessing God's wonders builds faith and encourages others in their walk with Christ.
Telling of God's wonders, as emphasized in Psalm 9:1, serves to strengthen the faith of the believer and provides encouragement to those struggling with doubt. When believers recount God's faithfulness and miraculous acts, they not only glorify God but also reflect on His works with power to uplift and inspire their peers. This sharing promotes communal worship and emphasizes God's continuous involvement in the lives of His people. Moreover, it fulfills the command to proclaim His deeds, fostering a culture of gratitude and admiration for His providential care.
Psalm 9:1, Psalm 145:4
Christians have the right to be called children of God, enjoying all the privileges of divine adoption.
Through Christ, believers experience the profound privilege of being adopted as God's children, as articulated in John 1:12. This adoption grants them access to numerous spiritual blessings, including justification, sanctification, and eternal life. The rights associated with this status are not based on merit but are rooted in Christ’s perfect work and His grace. Believers can confidently approach God in prayer, receive His inheritance, and live transformed lives in obedience. Understanding these rights empowers Christians to surrender their identities to Christ and walk boldly in their faith.
John 1:12, Ephesians 1:3-5
