CRYSTALLIZATION-STUDY
OF THE COMPLETE SALVATION OF GOD
IN ROMANS

MESSAGE ONE

A GENERAL SKETCH

OUTLINE

1. The complete salvation of God in the book of Romans is carried out on and brought into the believers of Christ by the power of God through His complete gospel—Rom. 1:16, 1.
2. Such a complete salvation of God is composed of:
   1. God's judicial redemption, accomplished by the death of Christ (5:10a), including:
      1. God's forgiveness of the believers' sins—4:7.
      2. God's justification of the believers—3:24.
      3. God's reconciliation of the believers to Himself—5:11.
   2. God's organic salvation, carried out by Christ's life (5:10b), including:
      1. Regeneration—Titus 3:5.
      2. Sanctification—Rom. 6:19, 22; 15:16.
      3. Renewing—12:2b.
      4. Transformation—12:2b.
      5. Conformation—8:29.
      6. Glorification—8:30.
3. This dynamic complete salvation of God is:
   1. Taking the all-inclusive Christ of God as its centrality and universality—1:3.
   2. Based upon God's righteousness (1:17a), which is Christ:
      1. To cover the believers that they may be justified objectively—3:20-22.
      2. And to be given to the believers as their righteousness subjectively to become their living that they may be justified before God subjectively—4:24-25.
   3. Through the believers' faith (1:17b; 10:8), which is Christ (Gal. 2:20b), whom they appreciate and receive in their hearing of the gospel.
4. God's judicial redemption is covered by the first four chapters of the book, and God's organic salvation is covered by the last twelve chapters, from chapter five to sixteen.
