Notes:
We just went through the consideration of what it actually is that we've inherited through Christ and how with it comes the accountability of stewarding the message of sin debt and debt reconciliation by Jesus to the broader world in general. We asked why it was we often waste our Lord's redemptive goods and squeamishly fail to get out the door with the message when the crafty of this world are out and settling other's accounts on much lesser unauthorized self enriching terms. How best is the sin debt made known? The way the God has always made it known; the Law.
It is the belief of a great many that the Law of Moses and all of the ordinances and precepts contained therein has passed. Largely they believe that because that is much the way that we ourselves have lived and conveyed that. The Lord has refuted that notion repeatedly. The law brings us to the prerequisite conclusion that we are each unrecoverable helpless sinners, that the wage of sin is death, that faith in the Redeemer Jesus Christ is the sole means of forgiveness of that debt and progressive sanctification from that most corrupted and depraved state. If we are to effectively convey the Gospel of Christ unto the salvation of faith we are going to have to deliver that message in conjunction with a convincing discourse based in the Law.
First must come a clear understanding of how the two work hand in hand. Then must come the passion for boldly/accurately presenting that understanding with the sincere compassion for other's future that sells the point enthusiastically. Otherwise we are wasting the Lord's goods.
