The Just Shall Live by Faith

"God’s Provision for All People” Romans 3:21-31

Date:October 6, 2024
Author: Wayne J. Edwards

Introduction:

Edward Mote wrote just one hymn in his lifetime. In some hymnals, it is listed as “The Solid Rock,” and in others, by the first line of the chorus, “My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less.” Mote said the song was the testimony of his conversion to Christ.

Having grown up knowing nothing of God or His existence, Mote received Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord after hearing the gospel at a Baptist Church. While still a new believer, Mote wrote that famous line that said his salvation was built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. Mote’s poetic words were later composed into the hymn by William B. Bradbury.

Beloved, the most crucial line in that hymn is this: “I dare not trust the sweetest frame” –man’s religious rules, the easy believism of progressive Christianity, the fickle feelings of a few moments of high praise – Our hope of heaven is built on nothing less than the shed blood of Jesus – He is the sole means of our eternal salvation.

This Sunday at 6:00 PM, we will continue our in-depth study of Paul’s letter to the Christians in Rome. In this sermon, we will look at Romans 3:21-31 under the heading: “God’s Provision for All People.”
