Pastor Josh continues taking us through the logical chain Paul lays down for us in Romans:
“There were these famous stories Paul’s audience would have been familiar with. The Greco-Roman world loved them a good ‘bromance’. Stories of friends so close and committed that one was willing to die for the other. This is not at all what God has done for us. Christ laid his life down for us, according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, while we were still weak in nature, ungodly in character, still choosing to sin against him, his enemies rather than friends…Our conviction this morning is that we have not appropriately rejoiced in what God has done for us.”
