We are continuing a 6-week series entitled "The Holiness of God."
This series, led by Ligonier founder R. C. Sproul, will help us see the importance of God's Holiness.
Part 4, The Insanity of Luther
If God is holy and man is sinful, what is there for man? This is the problem Martin Luther wrestled with for years which drove him to despair. It caused him to cry out at one time, “Love God? Sometimes I hate Him.” Then one day as Luther was preparing to teach Romans 1 to his theological students, he came to verse 17 and read, “For in the Gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith....” Luther said later, “I realized for the first time that my own justification depends, not on my own righteousness which will always fall short, but it rests solely and completely on the righteousness of Jesus Christ which I must hold on to by trusting faith.” This lesson is designed to help us understand how sinful people can stand in the presence of a holy God through the righteousness which God provides through Jesus Christ.
From Ligonier Ministries on the series:
The Holiness of God examines the meaning of holiness and why people are both fascinated and terrified by a holy God. This series closely explores God's character, leading to new insights on sin, justice, and grace. The result is a new awareness of our dependence upon God's mercy and a discovery of the awesomeness of His majestic holiness. Dr. R.C. Sproul says, "The holiness of God affects every aspect of our lives--economics, politics, athletics, romance--everything with which we are involved."
Next week on September 4th we will move on to Part 5, The Meaning of Holiness.
