Blessings of God's Love

Romans 5:1-5

In the sermon titled "Blessings of God's Love," David Pledger emphasizes the profound theological concept of justification by faith as articulated in Romans 5:1-5. He argues that the first significant blessing believers receive from God's love is being justified, which means being declared righteous in God's sight through faith in Jesus Christ. Pledger elucidates that justification is not based on human merit but solely on God's sovereign grace and the redemptive work of Christ, referencing Acts 13:39 to substantiate this divine act. The doctrinal significance of this teaching lies in its affirmation of the Reformed principles of total depravity, unconditional election, and the necessity of grace, encouraging believers to rejoice in the hope that stems from their justified status before God, even amidst tribulations.

I will never be free. No, I'm going to be patient and
work it. Patience, patience, spirit, spirit,
spirit, spirit, hope, hope. And hope, make a lot of change. Because the love of God is out
of everyone's hearts, but the Holy Ghost, which is given. This love of God is not our love,
love him or hate him. We love him or hate him because
he was our first love, not us. And the love of God in this text
is God's own. and it is our sovereign, and
God's love of us is effectual. It gets us out of God. How is
the love of God so strong in our hearts? Well, well, it is
as the scripture says, as by the bones of his ministry, of
the written word of God. Imagine your mind receiving a
fountain or two, well, well, plain plain water just coming
up and up, fountain, fountain, coming up and up, water, water,
because these things again with God's love. That's where it all begins for
God's people. God's love. And the first blessing
that we have this evening is the blessing of justification. First verse number one. Therefore
being justified by faith. The first blessing that run and run and run and run and
run and run and run and run. that they say true truth about
God's just justification. And this verse of our scripture
shows us the truth of God's just justification doesn't matter
so well. If there be a controversy between
men and they come on a judgment of just justification, And this verse tells us of a
controversy between me and him, and they come upon my judgment,
and the judges may judge them. Now, now, they're brought up
in this controversy. to judge us, and there's only
one position. When they walk out of Gaza Corp,
there's only two positions in which they are going to be. And
that just reminds us here tonight, there's only two positions that
all of us are in. I don't care who you're in, who
you're not. All of us must die in one of
these two positions. The two positions are our condemnation,
that is, having been guilt-guilty, hudge-hudge, pronouncing ourselves
condemned, or being found out innocent. We are, we are, pronouncing
ourselves condemned him. There's no other
place, there's no other place to have to be found for either
injustice or we all are condemned. One wonder appears that I read
years ago in his work on Thomas Hudson. This is the way he defines
justiciation. It is an act that God shall regrace. whereby he departs all our sins
and accepts us as righteous in his sight. For our the righteousness
lies found only in pity of us and received by faith. Justice in this case should stand
and oppose to condemnation. The judge judges in this case. of their strong moments, their

Father and of the Son, let justice be added unto you. Now I tell
you what it was, it's easy to be just by yourself more than
other men. It really is. But what we're
talking about is being just to God the Father God. He charged
us in his name to follow folly. But thrice, thrice, holy God, No one's being justified by their
attempt to make the law as impossible as their attorney for now denies
it. That's how we come to know that
we are sorcerers and that we have the hands of God. It's certainly not just us. Just a satiation of the damn
him, and all of us that like to love him, is only a malpractice
one body. Notice that in verse 24, there
was a pretty, being just as I'd, pretty, pretty. Oh, I'd like
that for you, too. Pretty, pretty. Pretty, pretty. For God, God, we are bank, bank,
we're all costless. And if justification also, one,
one, hin, hin. None of us talk about one corner
square anymore. We talk about money, money, money,
money, money. Justification, they say. act. None of us would be declared
by justice for God. None of us. Be justified freely
by his grace. Through. And we always want this
outside because it's always through the redemption that is at hand
by Jesus. Be justified freely by his grace. Thank you. Thank you so much. This is a message that Apostle
Osprey preached back in Acts chapter 13. Verse 38 and 39. that they and they and the God
of the Word were not only therefore men, brethren, and through this
man, and of course this man, the Lord Jesus Christ, God's
own Son, who died on the cross, and buried, and rose again, and
through this man is preaching to you. be forgiveness of sins, and by
Him all that believe are justified, declared righteous by God Almighty,
just as if we had never sinned, justified by all things. Notice now the announcement of

West, Christ's eyes will be crucified. Same message. And when the Gentiles
heard these, they were glad and glorified. Someone said, I said, I wish
I knew it now, but I will remain to eternal life. Why not? Do
you believe in Jesus Christ? What does the verse thus say?
It tells us as many as just remain to eternal life, I believe. Do you believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ? Then you then know, that your
salvation did not yet attain, that it was for all eternity. God ordained you to eternal life,
as many as they need. God ordained you to eternal life. They were not ordained, they
believed, but they were ordained. You know, these are many, many
preachers. What's an ordinary preacher? He is a preacher who denies the
truth of God's sovereign grace, of God's eclectic law of total
gravity. He denies Christ's exceptional
redemption. He denies his irresistible great
grace. He denies the perseverance, transgression
of the saints. He is a persevering faith as
it That's what a non-immigrant preacher
is. You may be saved day and night
in the Lord's arms, or maybe you'll be dead day and night
in the Judas' fire. That's not a gospel preacher.
They like to turn to the West, I remember reading John Brod-Protist. John Brod-Protist taught his
students, he was a teacher in the first Let the scripture say what it
says. Don't twist the scripture to
as many as it is pertaining to eternal life. You see, these
preachers just want to twist it around and say as many as
they can. No, no, no, no. As many as it
is pertaining to eternal life. What a blessing, what a blessing,

In Ephesians chapter 2, verse 13, they read for He, that is,
Jesus Christ, He is our Don't worry about these features,
Mr. Customer. He thinks these jumps are to
improve. Beginning with verse 12. Well,
that at that time, without Christ, being strange strangers, coming
from a place where strange strangers come and doesn't promise to help,
but without God. Can you imagine I verse 13 saying
that? Can you, can you? Without God. Without hope. Without Christ. Without Christ, a person worships
without God. And without God, a person worships
without hope. That's the way all of us are
going to come into this world. But now, now, notice verse 13,
but now, now, thanks Christ Jesus, you who come down, down, we're
all, we're all, we may die, die by the blood of Christ, for He
is in our bodies. in the attempt of World War I,
having abolished its legislative enmity, the law of amendments
maintaining ordinances. And how did we abolish this legislative
enmity which exists between man and God? By his death on the cross. And
that he might reconcile so both Jew and Gentile unto God, God
and body, by the power of the cross, having slain him in their
murder. And notice how this day may reach

the apostle also tells us in verse 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 51, 52, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 71, 72, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81,

times of great departure, you hear him, you hear Christ. You hear him, you hear him, you
hear Christ. The Lord changes It's preaching, preaching peace. That's what I'm preaching to
you tonight. Peace. Through the blood of Jesus
Christ. And it is in us that still I
find you here. Preaching, preaching himself,
peace. The message of the Word of God
is one word. I'm just telling you what he
said. And again, if you reject it,
you rejected my word, my word, my word. That's not his word
at all, at all. But you rejected Jared Werner's
words. He's the easel that came to Gathering
Springs. Colossians 1 and 2 and 3 and
4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 and 10 and 11 and 12 and 13 and 14
and 15 and 16 and 17 and 18 and 19 and 20. I think of that verse, I can't
remember if it's in particular, but Jeremiah and I, let the pot
sharers serve the earth, strive with the pot sharers. Pot sharers
are just a broken piece of pottery. And that's what I'm going to
talk about next. Broken piece of pottery. Pot
sharers. Strive around the front shock
chairs. But don't strive around the government. That's the house
of government you're not waiting to leave. That's the black church
you're not waiting to leave. No, no. He came, He preached, He preached
peace. He reconciled, He reconciled the hundred blind folks. That
word reconciliation means peace, yes, and He reconciled the God of peace.
He reconciled the God of peace. He reconciled the God of peace.
He reconciled the God of peace. He reconciled the God of peace. He reconciled the God of peace.
He reconciled the God of peace. He reconciled the God of peace. He reconciled
the God of peace. He reconciled the God of peace. He reconciled
the God of peace. He reconciled the God of peace. He reconciled the God of peace. He reconciled
the God of peace. He reconciled the God of peace. He reconciled the God of peace. He reconciled
the God of peace. He reconciled the God of peace.
He reconciled the God of peace. He reconciled the God of peace. He reconciled the God of peace.
Now, now, what does this, what does this make, this blessing? grace, that through Christ we
may come boldly to the throne of God that is His own grace. Let me read to you Hebrews chapter
4 verse 14 through 16. It's a great blessing, isn't
it, to be able to speak to God on it. It would be all talk for heaven
before God. You know, if you try to try to speak
to the President of the United States tonight, I doubt that
I am going to be able to do that. You, my God, saw the sword of
our life at our mouths, as well as the brothers of our children,
as well as you did. But what is uttered is just,
and even under such statement of character, it should not go
unheeded. And yet we, we, through the Lord
Jesus Christ, Christ, Acts, Acts, Acts, under the aum, aum, under
the SES, upon the throne of the Lord Jesus Christ, and his minister,
upon the throne of Christ, praise the Lord Jesus Christ, and his
Son, the Son of the Father. See then and there we have a
great high time preached, that it's fast as the nymph and the
feces. Son of God, let us let us fast
as our fixation. We have not an iron hand preached,
and I cannot touch the feelings of our environment premises.
But what's in all knowledge points to my plight. We are your outstanding. Let us not stare therefore. Come
bold boldly unto your own own grace. Now stop. I think some
people miss that, don't you, Jim? They act like they're talking
to God in such a debating way, they don't show some respect.
The fear, the reverence of God, when we come along, We've come
through Christ, but at the same time we're not even practicing
what we're talking with. Talking to God. Abraham spoke to God, and God
said, I said, I am not as dust as ashes. That's all I am. Just a big ball of dust. That's
what God made me from, from dust. And I'm taking that unit upon
myself to speak to you, God Almighty. But we haven't had the same success.
Through Jesus Christ, we've come all the way up here. Now let's go back. I want to speak to this fourth
lesson. Rejoice, Joyce. Rejoice, Joyce. I'm here and here. Blessing number one, justification. Blessing number two, we have
peace. We've got God. Blessing number
three, we have access. not only shall it show the glory,
but we rejoice then and in hope of the glory of God. That's the
first thing, we rejoice then and in hope of the glory of God. Now, as I said about readiness,
the word world hope, let's understand that as expectation. We rejoice in our expectation,
our expectation of the glory of God. We saw in one of our brothers,
sisters and brothers when they passed away, when they left this
world, we saw but not in either's eyes, Much, much better, sirs, if they're
chosen by God. They've many benefits and joy
for us to look forward to. We've revealed God's hidden expectation,
but then we see also the joy stimulation of the sad self,
and not only the sad self, but we have glorified the same word,
which is translated joy, first to, is translated glory, like we have rejoiced in the
revelation. And others have rejoiced also.
And not only so, we have rejoiced in our expectation of going to
be with the Lord, all the causes, and to heaven and to earth. But
we also Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!
Rejoice! The question is how many of us
rejoice in tribulation? Well, I can tell you to think
of several reasons, but let me just give you two reasons. First
of all, the cause of us, if you go to notice the rest of us without
any gratulation, you're not in the right way. You're not in the right way.
Is that what you mean? John chapter 16, verse 33. He said, said, to his disciples,
these things I have spoken unto you, that ye may be like the
feces in the world. And that's where we are. In the
world, you choose your population. But be of good cheer, for I will
have overcome the world. So one reason we have deliberately
rejoined the right way. In Acts chapter
17, verse 22, Paul revisits the churches that may have preached
the gospel to the first person there in the earth, and he ordered
them, telling them that we have not much, not just much, but
we have not much to say to them, that they may enter into the
kingdom of God. And we rejoice in the tribulation
of those insurgency tax takers. We know this about the tribulations. Not only so, but we know the
tribulations they all saw. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. Tribulations. Tribulations. Patience is behind it all. Few people without valor or bravery
are being deemed disconciliate. It's a tribulation that doesn't
just spring up out of the ground. Our God is unsovereign, and whatever
comes in our lives, it comes with his permission. has happened. Never, never am I going to do
that. Whatever God has done to us, we've called for salvation. He's our God. And He teaches
us patience. And then He manages us to experience. And the word experience means
testing. And our faith has tested our
tribulation to show that it's genuine. And I don't know how
to end that, but it says, says, experience. Experience. Tribulation shows us, testifies
to us, that God's righteousness is true. We breathe this in the word of
God. We give this great spirit of hope and peace. I'll tell
you why you ought to. When the Lord taught us that
same legislation, that's when we learned, darling, that God
takes away this situation. It really relieved us. It really relieved us. And third,
hope, hope, and come back, come back to hope again. throughout the ages to come. A place where sand, and all that
sand brings with it, cannot come, shall not come. And this holds
hope, notice the verse in the first line, and hope, hope may
connect not with shame. In other words, this holds hope
to you down tonight, in Christ, and because of Christ. not be disappointed. Shall not
be, will not, will not be disappointed. Christians also, glory to God,
eternal glory, glory is built upon the first person, and the
work of the first person lies ahead. You shall not be disappointed. Our Lord and Saints, they believe
in God, believe also in me. My father tried to assassinate
my intentions. If it were not for that job,
I would not have come to you. I've got a gun prepared in place
for you. And if I go, I go, I will come
again and receive saving unto myself, that where I am, there
you may be also. Believers, hope shall not be
disappointed. I trust the blessings of the
Holy Ghost here this evening. and blessings. Lord, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm
going to preach, preach, preach, preach, in my last motion here in chapter
five. Very, very, very messy. But let's sing a hymn. Let's just knock, knock. I trust that we'll all live with
joy soon, joy soon, joy soon every day. You said we'll say

but there's all the jobs in this church that I really appreciate.
The musicians in this church, those who play the instruments,
they do such a good job, so it really helps us to sing. Those
are talent talents, the Lord has given all of them, and I
know you're waiting for our practice to improve those talent talents,
but the Lord hasn't given all the talent talents. In the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
