The prophet grapples with the “mysteries of Providence,” and the age-old dilemma of reconciling the presence of evil with the existence of a good and all-powerful God. This is called “theodicy,” the “vindication of the justice and goodness of God in spite of the existence of evil in the world” (Webster’s Dictionary). Habakkuk clearly declares that the ultimate resolution of the dilemma is found only by a living faith (Hab 2:4) in a loving God (Hab 3:13).

This book contains the notes from the Orange County, California Bible conference held in August 2010.

Living Sacrifice 07

Believer in Christ is illustrated by Noah and his family in the Ark (1Pe 3:20). Positional truth (Rom 5:1-2, Rom 6:5) is based on a finished work (Joh 19:30) "having been justified". 4 points on the cross: (Left) "Past" redemption; (Top) Propitiation -- God is statisfied; (Right) "Future" Reconciliation (Rom 5:6-8); (Bottom) Believer -- Justified (Rom 5:12). "we have peace" This possession, our "peace with God" relates to our standing (Eph 1:6, Rom 8:1). "because of our Lord Jesus Christ". The greatest gift the King can give is being in presence (Heb 10:10-14), "by Him we have access by faith into this Grace wherein we stand" (Eph 2:18, Eph 3:12, Heb 4:4, Heb 4:16).

Romans 12 and specifically Rom 12:1-2 is a pivot point between the doctrinal section and application of the book. This series methodically uses this passage to outline aspects or doctrines of the christian life -- God's provision and our prospect. Our lives can be acceptable to God if we progress on the path He intends. Living Sacrifice presents 12 doctrines: (1) redeeming time; (2) standing (positional truth); (3) self-presentation - availability; (4) approval; (5) service; (6) provision; (7) spiritual warfare; (8) conformity; (9) spiritual advance; (10) renewal; (11) divine guidance; (12) abundant life.
