In part 5 of our series on Romans, Pastor Steve explores how we work our salvation - freedom from the penalty and power of sin. Our transformed life is worked out in relationship with God (our priority from which all else flows) with the world (transformation from it, not conformation to it) and with people where there is no room for comparison or jealousy since all we - and all they - have is by God's gift. When treated unfairly we don't repay in kind but with kindness. Whatever in our life brings honour to God is our worship. Whatever other goals we have, we make our goal to please Him, not squeezed into the world's mould but secure in His love as those created in His image.

How does God rule the world? What was His plan for Israel as part of His wider plan for humanity? Has that plan failed with the widespread rejection by the Jews of Jesus their Messiah? In chs 9-11 Pastor Steve shows how the Gentile mission fulfils God's covenant with Abraham. We discover tat just as the hardening of Pharoah's heart become part of God's plan to deliver Israel, so the current partial hardening of the Jews has become part of God's plan for the redemption of Jew and Gentile in the body of Christ. Whilst we can't always understand God's decisions, we trust in His character - His understanding is beyond finding out. We wonder at His wisdom and conclude, as does Paul, in worship.

In the third of our Romans series, Pastor Steve Riley guides us through chapters 5-8. Ch 5 celebrates the work of Jesus and Ch 8 the work of the Spirit. In Chs 6-7 Paul answers questions from his critics on his view of the law and sin. The law is good in that it exposes and restrains sin, but doesn't give us the power to live in victory over it. That power comes through the death and resurrection life of Jesus which frees us to live in co-operation with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit guarantees our resurrection, our adoption, helps us to pray and intercedes for us. Pastor Steve addresses other questions - can we live a sinless life, can a Christian lose their salvation, and what does justification now have to do with final judgment?
