Life’s Big Questions: How Will Things Get Better?

How Will Things Get Better? (Romans 5:12-21)

The Christmas season is often a festive and busy time for most. Amidst the hustle and bustle, however, we may still be struggling with issues of life and wonder if there is lasting joy and hope. In this, the third of a series of messages on Life’s Big Questions, it seeks to address how the Bible speaks honestly about our struggles and also offers true hope and joy. This is why Christians can celebrate Christmas.

Hear from Pastor Jeremy Lee, Grace Baptist Church (GBC) as he addressed the topic on the fundamental issue faced by humanity through the ages which resulted in life that is so hard on earth and yet there is a reason for hope. The big idea: Jesus’ gift of righteousness cancels sin and gift of eternal life triumphed over death.

The outline of his message is as follow.

Introduction: Death is something we are acquainted with. We have grieved over the passing of loved ones. Death is real and it is something that we are all trying to avoid. But regardless of our age, fitness level, ideologies, or social/economic status we will eventually experience death. On the other hand, self-centred sins resulted in selfishness and destroys relationships, sins of greed and racism resulted in wars and conflicts, sins of pride resulted in foolish decisions, and sins of lust resulted in adultery and broken marriages. Sin and death are the two evils that plagued our world. Sin and death explain to us what is wrong with the world and why life is so hard. But God has actually left us with much hope as stated in Romans chapter 5.

A. Jesus came to rescue us from the terrible curse of sin and death (Rom 5:12-14).

 

B. Jesus gives us his righteousness and eternal life (Rom 5:15-21).
