Sunday Morning:  September 19, 2004

Read Romans 1:1-7

Text: Romans 1:4  And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

KNOW THE POWER OF GRACE

Philippians 3:10  That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, . .

TO BE COME A SON

Philippians 3:11  If by any means I might attain unto the [ejk out] resurrection of the dead.

THE PRIZE

Philippians 3:14  I press toward the mark for the prize of the high [above] calling [to be a son] of God in Christ Jesus.

“DECLARED”

Romans 1:4  And declared [appointed, determined, ordained],  [to be] the Son of God with power . . .

APPOINTED JUDGE

Acts 10:42  "And he commanded us to preach unto the people [the nation of Israel], and to testify that it is he which was ordained [perfect passive participle, declared] of God to be the Judge (Son of God) of quick [present active participle, an adjective] and dead."

SONS ARE JUDGES

Psalms 82:6  I have said, Ye (angels) [are] gods [judges]; and all of you [are] children [sons] of the most High.

SONS IF WE ATTAIN

Luke 20:35-36  But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world [age], and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:  36.  Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children [sons] of God, being the children [sons] of the resurrection.

JESUS WILL JUDGE

Acts 17:31  "Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world [earth] in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained [declared]; whereof he hath given assurance unto all (that Jesus Christ will judge all) men, in that he hath raised him from the dead."

“ACCORDING TO SPIRIT OF HOLINESS”

HIS HUMAN SPIRIT OF HOLINESS

2 Corinthians 7:1  Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

UNBLAMEABLE HOLINESS

1 Thessalonians 3:13  To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

“BY THE RESURRECTION”

Romans 1:4  And declared [to be the] Son of God . . .

GIVEN GLORY

1 Peter 1:21  Who by him do believe [present active participle] in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope (that God would raise you from the dead and give you glory) might be in God.

GIVEN A THRONE

Acts 2:30-32  Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;  31.  He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.  32.  This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

GIVEN THE PROMISE

Acts 2:33  Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise [singular with article (a specific promise)] of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

PROMISE MADE TO US

Acts 2:38-39  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.  39.  For the promise [singular with article (a specific promise)] is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off [Gentiles], [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call.

PROMISE DEFINED

1 John 2:25  And this is the promise [singular with article (a specific promise)] that he hath promised us, [even] eternal [agelasting, (millennium)] life.

THE PROMISE FULFILLED

Acts 13:32-33  And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise [singular with article (a specific promise)] which was made unto the fathers,  33.  God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children (and those afar off, called), in that he hath raised up Jesus again (with power); as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

WE WILL BE RAISED

John 6:39-40  And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth [present active (looking unto)] the Son, and believeth [present active] on him (the Father), may have everlasting [agelasting] life: and I will raise him up at the last day (7th day, the millennium).

John 20:31  But these are written, that ye might believe [present active] that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing [present active] ye might have life through his name (Word of God).
