If a man wanted his life built on a solid, strong, and well-established foundation – what would that look like? What have we learned from the Roman epistle that provides concrete answers? Corner 1: I know who I am, and whose I am! Romans 16:25 says God is able to establish us according to my gospel. Think about what we have learned from Romans 1-5 about the Gospel. What is God able to do about man’s broken sinful condition? Romans 1:16 How is God able to save sinful man through the power of the Gospel and am I able to save myself through the power of my good works? Romans 4:4-8 Corner 2: I can live as a Victor, not as a Victim! Romans 16:25 emphasizes the repeated preaching of Jesus Christ! Think about what we have learned from Romans 6-7 concerning power over sin! Is God able to help me overcome sin and temptation? Romans 6:17-18 What is God able to do concerning my present suffering? Romans 8:28-39 Corner 3: I am more than a conqueror through Him who loves me! From Romans 16:25, continue to think about the preaching of Jesus Christ and His love and purpose revolving around suffering! **What is God able to do concerning my present suffering? **Romans 8:28-39 Corner 4: the Gospel I get to participate with God on His mission! From Romans 16:25-26, think about the mystery of the Gospel being revealed demonstrating God’s heart to reach the nations (Jew & Gentile). Connect this to what we learned from Romans 9-11. Is God able to reach the nations with the Gospel? Romans 10:13-15 The center of the slab -#5: my life as a living I get to worship Jesus today! From Romans 16:26-27, think about what we learned from Romans 12-16 about living a life of worship, radical to the world, reasonable to us! Is God able to work through my life for His glory? Romans 12:1 teaches us God wouldn'y call us to live this way if He wouldn’t find it acceptable! These core truths are what we get to live by in response to the mercies of God. God will build a firm foundation on which we can stand through every storm! God alone is able to work within and through anyone who chooses to worship Him this way!
