Hidden Blessings

Romans 5:1-5

By Keith Joseph, November 29, 2020

Justification is the by which unjust sinners are made right in the sight of a just and holy God. R.C. Sproul

Four reasons why the blessings of God remain hidden:

The hides them from us. II Corinthians 4:4

Our old nature does not justified blessings. I Corinthians 2:14

Our new nature needs . I Peter 2:1-3.

The world constantly at our blessings. I Corinthians 2:9

Focus on two things:

Focus on what God . Romans 5:1-2

God has brought His people to a position of with God.

Peace with God means that the state of hostility between God and us is now over. -Keller

God has purchased His people’s right to to God.

God has moved His people to a place of and hope before God.

Focus on what God . Romans 5:3-5

God is making us into people who are:

Filled with . KJV “patience” (Perseverance). Galatians 6:9

Filled with Godly .

Filled with .

Filled with the poured out through the Holy Spirit.

Three statements I hear in walking up and down in this world:

I am not blessed.

I to be blessed.

I don’t know with my blessings.

I offer you four things to do:

Praise Him for what He has done and is doing in your life.

Seek to in the trials you are facing. “Lean into what you used to run from.”

Practice His which will fill you with love, joy, and hope.

Reach out to who are where you used to be.
