All Powerful And Unchanging
Romans 5:9-11
Freedom From Today’s Idolatry (Series)
Idols change, God is unchanging. We are agents of change for an unchanging God.
Romans 5:9-11
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Jesus Christ doesn’t change, but changes everything He touches, including us. The Gospel does not change, but it changes all who accept and trust in it.
2 Corinthians 5:17-20
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
(Greek katallaste) From which we get the term “catalyst”. A catalyst changes what it touches, but is not itself changed.
