​How to Grow Hopeful During Affliction
Romans 5:1-5
Intro
The righteous will live by faith!
-Affliction is the real world moment to see if we really trust God
 
-Many people like the idea of being a Christian
   -Fewer people want to live for Christ when times get tough
 
Affliction tempts us to give up
-Think that God has abandoned us
 
-Think that we are all alone- no one else knows how bad it is
 
-Think that there is no point living for God
   -The lie from Satan:  Christians will never suffer
      -Popular false teachers are claiming health and wealth
 
 
 
How to grow hopeful when afflicted
Trust God’s promise
-We become righteous through faith in Christ
 
-We are at peace with God
 
-Affliction does not mean God has abandoned you!
  -God isn’t being cruel because of your sinful nature
  -Affliction due to sin brings discipline, not condemnation
    -Romans 8:1
    -Hebrews 12:5-11
 
 
Keep worshipping God
-Rejoice in affliction- keep your focus on God!
-This does not mean we are happy about affliction
  -bad things are bad:  cancer, COVID-19, job loss, strife
-Philippians 4:4  Rejoice in the Lord always. 
                           I will say it again: rejoice!
Hebrews 12:2  keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source and
                        perfector of our faith.
 
 
Don’t give up
-Galatians 6:9  we will reap a blessing if we do not give up
-Affliction proves God’s faithfulness
  -God empowers us to endure
  -Our proven character leads to greater hope in God
     -we see Him changing us into the likeness of Christ
 
     -God will not put us to shame for our faith in Him!
        Romans 10:11
 
 
 
What is affliction revealing in you?
Place your hope in Jesus Christ alone!
 
 
Return to Jesus Christ as your only hope!

Stay With Faith!
Romans 4:13-25
The righteous will live by faith
 
 
 
Stay with faith!
Don’t add a second way to God   vs 13-16
-vs 13-14  Abraham made righteous 430 years before the Law
-The Jews benefited from God’s promise to Abraham before
   The Law
-vs 15  The Law “produces wrath”- it shows how sinful we are!
-“There is no deliberate disobedience of positive commands
   where there is no positive command to disobey”
-The more we know the more accountable we are to God!
-vs 16  We are made righteous by God’s grace
     -“God’s riches at Christ’s expense”
-Abraham’s faith is the only kind of faith that God accepts!
 
-Stop heaping onto new believers rules and regulations that
    Even mature believers are learning to obey!
 
 
Follow the example of Abraham    vs 17-24
-vs 17 “I have made you the father of many nations”
   -Past tense- it was already true, before it became true
   -Gentile followers of Christ are the fulfillment of this promise!
-Trust God like Abraham trusted God!
-vs 18  He was “hoping against hope”-   humanly impossible
-vs 19  He did not weaken in his faith- as he waited for the
     Promise, even when he and Sarah were both “dead” for
     childbearing
-vs 20 He did not waver in unbelief,
-He was strengthened in his faith as he gave glory to God
-Abraham applied his faith day by day against the impossibility
   of God’s promise to him, and this made his faith grow.
-Our faith grows day by day when we apply God’s promise to
   save us and provide the necessary power to over come the
   temptations of our flesh!
-vs 21  Abraham was fully convinced God keeps his promise
-vs 22  This is the faith that saved Abraham! That saves us!
    -We trust God for who God is, not what we will get from God
    -the “getting from God” may be years in coming- be patient
    -God may give you more than you can ever imagine
-vs 23-24  Abraham was saved by faith as an example for us!
   -Just as God credited Abraham’s faith with righteousness,
      So also, we are made righteous by trusting in Jesus Christ
 
 
Trust what Jesus did for you   vs 25
-Faith is always tied to God promise to fully pay for our sins!
-Abraham looked forward to what Jesus would do for him
-We now look back at what Jesus already did for us
-Romans 3:24  “justified freely by his grace through the
   redemption that is in Christ Jesus”
-Galatians 3:13  Christ became “cursed” in our place!
-Gal 3:14 “The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham would
    come to the Gentiles by Christ Jesus, so that we could
    receive the promised Spirit through faith”
 
 
Let God grow your faith
Trust God’s promises
-Trust that God makes you righteous through faith in Jesus
-Trust God to do the impossible of making you like Jesus!
    -of giving you love for enemies, compassion for others
    -trust God to heal your heart from broken relationships
    -trust God to restore relationships His way, in His timing
 
 
Keep trusting God’s promises-  Stay with faith!
-Hope against hope for the impossible in human ability!
-Give glory to God for what he has already promised you!
-Apply your faith day by day to that which does not yet exist
-Wait for God to make alive what is dead!
-Trust in the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ
 
What is God asking you to do right now?

    Many sermons in the St. Joe archive are machine-transcribed. St. Joe is presently transcribing its entire sermon library to render its content more easily accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing, those who speak English as a second language, and to make the sermon content searchable for everybody. While machine transcription makes this logistically and financially more viable, accuracy is sometimes sacrificed. St. Joe is gradually replacing machine transcription with human transcription as time and financial resources allow. Each sermon costs between $30 to $60 to transcribe. If you would like to help see the preached Word of God become accessible to more people, please consider an investment in the St. Joe ministry through the PayPal platform by sending funds to StJoeOnlineGiving@gmail.com, or click here.  ​
