| Summary: | Pag© 4 CONOORDIAN Friday November 24, 1933 Randolph Gives Weekly Lecture Pastor Mokes Talk On Romans; Points Out Truths In Sixth, Seventh Chapters Sancdtification, or holiness, by union with Christ, and sanctification by denial of self, both taken from chapters 6 and 7 of Romans, were presented by the Rev. H. G. Randolph, Tuesday evening, November 21. Under the first topic Pastor Randolph showed four ways by which we are united with Christ: (1) through His death and resurrection; (2) through a surrendered life; (3) in a new service; (4) through union to Christ in love. Through Christ's death and resurrec-ton, Pastor Randolph said that we are dead to sin and alive to God because we, as well as God, reckon ourselves to be as dead, and, as alive in Christ. Hie result of this reckoning is that we are to walk in the newness of life. Through a surrendered li^e we are freed from sin's dominion or reign; we present ourselves to God by a definite act of giving ourselves completely to Him through grace; and the reward of this surrendered life is God's use of us as instruments of righteousness. When we as Christians enter into the new service we are freed from sin serv-ice, become servants to God, render heart obedience, and as a result receive fruits unto sanctification. Our union to Christ in love frees us from the claims of the law unto sanctification, joins us to the Son of God through "marriage," as the result is fruit unto God. Pastor Randolph explained the fig-urative meaning of marriage in the first seven verses of chapter seven. As long as we are united to the old man under the law, it demands us to holy according to the law. *n*e law keeps us in that union as long as we try to be holy according to our own flesh, and the fruit is unto death. When Christ died, and the old man with Him, we became as widows, free to marry another, which is Christ Jesus, and the law no longer has charge over us. Failure of self effort to keep the law, and the failure of self effort to over-come indwelling sin, show the believ-ers that sanctification is only by denial of self. In verse seven of chapter sev-en, Pastor Randolph pointed out that the law does,not purpose to produce holiness, but to reveal sin; and in verse nine he pointed out how the law re-vives sin. Also according to the law we are declared to be carnal, and sold to sin (14); to possess no good thing in our flesh (18); and that evil is present in us (21). Pastor Randolph stated that chapter seven does not portray the normal Christian1 life, for sin does not have dominion over us, nor does the flesh rule over us; for as Paul cried out: "Who shalt deliver me from the body of this death " and answered, "I thank my God, through Jesus Christ," so, too, we may look in another direction from that of our sanctification.
