Sinner and Saint (Simul) (99)
  1. We can take comfort in the knowledge that He kills the sinner so we can get a new shot at life and life eternal.
  2. We're going to worry about what people think of us. It's going to get in the way of our relationship with Jesus. We're going to fear God's judgment. But, we're also baptized into Christ. So we don't give up hope. Jesus will help us and strengthen us. He will guide us in his Baptismal grace and peace.
  3. If sin is not “imputed” or “reckoned to” the sinner then who is it reckoned to? The good news is that it’s reckoned to God
  4. In Christ, the new and better David, we are redeemed from our lame condition of sin
  5. On account of God’s graciousness in Jesus, we are the ones who don’t do anything
  6. Paul roots the Christian’s death to the law in baptism and makes a scandalous claim that the law arouses sin in people.
  7. Both these words, Law and Gospel, are from God. The sinner needs both of them. Both are true and good.
  8. Psalm 51 teaches two things: mercy and sin. But aren’t we already experts in sin? Why do we need God to teach it to us?
  9. Galatians 5 isn’t a move beyond Christ to the Christian life. Galatians 5 is the Christian life in Christ.
  10. It’s been my experience that All Saints’ Day, celebrated on November 1st and observed on the first Sunday following, gets overshadowed by the celebration of Reformation Day.
  11. This a part of our series on Luther's, Heidelberg Disputation
  12. Only because He is an outsider can he afford the costly fee insiders could never afford no matter how hard they work.
