But God

So many try to escape the consequences of sin by attempting to live in the world of their own creation (fantasy or make believe). But God declares that such thinking and living is foolishness. For He said “The fool has said in his heart ‘No God.’ They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none who does good … No not one” (Psalm 53:1-3). In our text the Apostle Paul further expands upon this truth and also provides God’s alternate perspective and corrective, namely His wonderful grace in and through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

I. Dead - God reveals your great need apart from Christ
II. Alive - God graciously extends life to you through Christ
III. Live - God calls you to respond to His grace
