Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s sermon preached on Old Fashioned Sunday 2015.

Because of Christ, we have the Holy Spirit's guarantee, and we have His prayers, and we have a settled and sure future.

God is the architect of our lives. He has the skill, the vision, and the tools necessary. We are His workers.

As Christians, our understanding is changed - we know and understand the brokenness of the world and ourselves, and we see how God is fixing it all.

Because of Christ we are obligated, we are family, and we are heirs.

The Christian is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, changed by the Holy Spirit, and empowered for victory by the Holy Spirit.

The believer will never face further judgment for sin, for he is justified in Christ.

Christ is the answer to our lostness, and Christ is the answer to the struggle of living the Christian life.

God's grace does not provide enhanced opportunity for sin, but rather reminds us that we are dead to it, and should walk as the new creation we are in Christ.

The darker the night, the brighter the gospel shines.

Believers are saved from the tribulation, and from hell.

Christ died for us, as our substitute, and in so dying, demonstrates forever God's love for us.

Another benefit of our justification is the assurance that God is working in our lives even in the midst of suffering, building into us perseverance, and proven character, and hope.

Justification by faith brings with it benefits, including peace with God, access to God, and hope in a future with God.

Examine the three types of mothers found in the Bible. The mother who's ideal, the mother who's real, and the mother who kneels.

The believer's sin is gone, for it has been charged to Christ, and Christ's righteousness has been credited to the believer.

The only way to be justified in the mind of God, no matter who you are, is by faith in Christ's accomplishment on the cross.

Because of Christ's suffering in our stead, we who believe in Him are freely justified.
