The Bethany Bullet - Week of June 25, 2017

Sermon: “Testify”

Text: Romans 5:6-15

"Finding someone who would die for a godly person is rare; maybe someone would have enough courage to die for a good person.  God demonstrates His love for us in this, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us."

Rare...but not unknown:  A little more than a month ago several young ladies were being assaulted on a Portland train when three men intervened, and laid down their lives coming to the aid of people they had never meant.

God, in Christ however, intervenes and lays down His life to save the very ones assaulting His will, rule and reign (that's you and me).  Far from good, nowhere near godly, yet in Christ, God dies for you and me that He might declare us both, good and godly, in His sight for the sake of Jesus.
