TEXT:   ROMANS 5.1 - 13   
A Sermon by Wm H Cash Jr 
1927 - 2012 
August 1958 First Baptist Church
Crescent OR  Evening Service.


5.1  Therefore being justified by faith, 
we have peace with God 
through our 
Lord Jesus Christ.
5.2 By whom also we have 
access by faith 
into this grace wherein we 
stand, and rejoice 
in hope of the glory 
of God. 
5.3  And not only so, 
but we glory in tribulations 
also: knowing
that tribulation
worketh patience; 
5.4  And patience, 
experience; and experience
hope; 
5.5 And hope maketh 
not ashamed, because 
the love of God 
is shed abroad 
in our hearts 
by the Holy Ghost 
which is given unto us.
5.6  For when we were yet 
without strength, 
in due time Christ died 
for the ungodly.
5.7 For scarcely for a righteous
man will one die: yet 
peradventure for a 
good man 
some would even dare
to die.
5.8  But God commendeth 
His love toward us, in that 
while we were yet sinners, 
Christ died for us.
5.9  Much more than, being
now justified by His blood, 
we shall be saved 
from wrath 
through him.
5.10  For if, when we were 
enemies, we were 
reconciled to God 
by the death of his Son, 
much more, 
being reconciled, 
we shall be saved by 
His Life.     
5.11   And not only so, 
but we also joy in God 
through our Lord Jesus Christ
by whom we have 
now received 
the atonement. 
5.12   Wherefore, as by one 
man sin entered into the 
world,  and death by sin;
 and so death passed upon all men
for that all have sinned; 
5.13  (For until the law 
sin was in the world: 
but sin is not imputed 
when there is no law.

 Many professing Christians today are 
unstable, uncertain, and constantly 
seeking for "revival" but 
in themselves do not have joy, 
nor do they seem to know
victory over 
the lust of the flesh, 
the lust of the eyes,
and 
the pride of life.
I John 2.15, 16
15. Love not the world, 
neither the things that are in 
the world. If any man 
love the world, the love 
of the Father is not in him.
16. For all that is in the world, 
the lust of the flesh, 
and the lust of the eyes, 
and the pride of life,
is not of the Father,
but is of the world.

II Corinthians 15.58 
Therefore, 
my beloved brethren, 
be ye steadfast,
unmoveable,
always abounding 
in the work of the 
Lord, 
forasmuch as ye know 
that your labour is not 
in vain in the Lord. 

Our Lord wants us to be 
fruitful, and constant.
Jesus told the disciples
"If ye abide in me, 
and my words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will,
and it shall be done unto you.
John 15.7 

Before Jesus went to the Cross, 
he told the disciples 
"These things have I spoken
unto you, that in me 
you might have peace. 
In the world ye shall 
have tribulation, 
but be of good cheer, 
I have overcome the
world." 

OUR FAITH IS THE 
VICTORY 
THAT OVERCOMES
THE WORLD.
1 John 5.4 
Whatsoever is born of God 
overcometh the world: and 
this is the victory 
that overcometh 
the world, 
even our faith.

LET US CONSIDER 
THINGS ABOUT 
OUR VICTORY

I.
IT IS A WAY OF LIFE

As "justified" 
I have been declared 
legally by God
through 
the blood of Jesus 
NOT GUILTY.

All have sinned and
come short of the 
glory of God 
Romans 3.23
is followed
by verse 
24 
which states 
"being justified freely
by his grace 
through the 
redemption
that is in Christ". 
\Our Saviour leads today
into victory 

Jesus fulfilled everything 
needed 
for us 
to live 
this victorious life.
Psalm 55.22 
Cast thy burden upon 
the LORD; and He shall sustain 
thee

Matthew 11.28 - 30 
Come unto me 
All ye that labour and 
are heavy laden, and
I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you,
and learn of me, 
for I am meek 
and lowly in heart; 
and ye shall find 
rest 
unto your souls, 
for my yoke 
is easy 
and my
burden 
is light. 

As we pick up the yoke
Christ offers, 
It is HE THAT 
BEARS THE LOAD

Instead of focusing
on how big the load is,
let us 
LET GOD LIFT OUR LOADS.


ROMANS 12.1,2  
I Beseech you therefore, brethren,
by the mercies of God
to present your bodies 
a living sacrifice 
unto God, 
which is your 
reasonable 
service.
and be not 
conformed 
to the world,
but be ye 
TRANSFORMED 
by the renewing of 
your mind,  
that ye may prove
what is that good,
and acceptable,
and perfect, 
will of God.  

GALATIANS 2.20 
I am crucified with Christ: 
nevertheless, I live, yet not
I, but Christ liveth
in me, 
and the life
which 
I now live 
in the flesh, 
I live 
by the faith 
of the  
Son of God 
who loved me 
and gave himself 
for me.  


When a certain man was 
carrying his bundle 
on his back 
down the 
road 
he was 
struggling 
with his burden.

A wagon driven 
by a man who offered
to let him 
ride with him
in the wagon.

The traveler 
then got into the wagon,
and sat down.

Sometime later
the driver looked 
back to see how 
his guest was 
doing, 
and he noticed
that 
the 
man still had
the pack on his
back.

He did not let 
go of it.

SO WE TAKE OUR LOAD 
TO THE LORD 
AND LEAVE IT THERE.

HE PROMISED TO 
LIFT OUR LOAD
OUR 
BURDEN
OUR 
NEEDS
OUR HEART CRY 
FOR HELP

II  VICTORY IN DEATH 
Through Christ we have victory 
not only over life,
but over death.

Isaiah 25.8 - 9  
8. He will swallow up 
death in victory; and 
the LORD God will 
wipe away tears 
from all faces; 
and the rebuke of
his people 
shall he take
away 
from off 
all the earth: 
for the LORD hath 
spoken it.
v.9  And it shall 
be said in that day
"Lo, this is our God, 
We have waited for Him,
we will rejoice and 
be glad in 
His Salvation." 


Y'SHUA 
in Matthew 1.21 
"Thou shalt call his name
JESUS for he shall save his 
people from their sins.


Being dead to sin 
and alive to God 
Being justified 
Being sanctified 
we not only 
are 
IN POSITION 
WITH CHRIST 
IN THE HEAVENLIES

III. VICTORY IN THE FUTURE 
WILL COME.  

IN GOD'S EYES
WE ARE 
ALREADY 
SEATED 
WITH JESUS
AT 
THE RIGHT
HAND 
OF THE FATHER.

IN GOD'S EYES
PAST 
PRESENT 
AND 
FUTURE 
ARE 
ALL IN HIS HANDS.

JESUS IS CALLING US
TO FOLLOW HIM

HE HAS MADE THE WAY

HE DWELLS IN US 
THROUGH THE 
DEAR 
SPIRIT 
THE HOLY GHOST
WHO 
WILL
ALWAYS 
EXALT 
JESUS 
TO THE 
GLORY 
OF
GOD THE FATHER





In my next post 
I will talk about 
GOD'S VICTORY
in the Future.

WALKING BY FAITH 
I KEEP CLIMBING

LOOKING
FOR 
MESSIAH'S 
RETURN\
WATCH
AND
WAIT
OCCUPYING
TILL HE COME.
