The God Who Judges

Why the Cross Matters

By Jeff Kistler, July 12, 2026

HEAR THE WORD

Romans 3:9-26

  1. God is a Holy Judge
  2. Man's Guilt is Already Evident
  3. There is a Final Judgement Coming
  4. Without Judgement, the Cross Makes No Sense
  5. God’s Judgement is Delayed Because of Mercy

APPLY THE WORD

DUTY: What should I do?

​ CHARACTER: Who should I be?

​ GOAL: Where should I head?
​ DISCERNMENT: How can I distinguish truth from error?
​ Something I learned:
​ Something I want to know more about:
​ What truth about the Gospel was/is highlighted by this passage:
​ My prayer response (repentance/thanksgiving/praise):
​ ​ ***SHARE THE WORD*** ​ In one sentence, write a key statement that the Spirit has prompted you to take from this message (e.g. "Love God with all your heart") ​ Who will you share this key statement with this week?
