Adrian Rogers: The Only Way to Live (2382)

Sermon Overview
Scripture Passage: Hebrews 10:38

The Book of Hebrews describes the heroes of our faith and explains how those heroes exemplified the only way to live.

Hebrews 10:38 says, “Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”

Many of us are plagued with worry, guilt, or loneliness; but there is not one problem that faith does not have an answer for. This is why it is crucial that we know what faith is, and how to have it.

Faith is not blind superstition, positive thinking, or a feeling of optimism. Rather, it is confidence that rests in hope, conviction that sees the invisible, and communication that comes from Heaven.

Hebrews 11:1-2 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.”

Faith can’t be altered by appearances or fettered by feelings. Our emotions are the shallowest part of our nature, while faith is the deepest work of God. And in a world that must see to believe, the Bible instructs us to believe in order to see. Faith is not limited by logic; it simply goes beyond it and becomes its own best logic.

We must also understand the dynamics of our faith. Adrian Rogers explains, “Faith is the heart’s response to the character of God.” Only after we accept God through faith will we receive the wisdom to understand His works and the ability to worship. Faith—not fame or fortune—is the medium of exchange in the kingdom of God.

Finally, a life of faith is destined to find, follow, and finish the will of God.

Hebrews 12:1-2 says, “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith…”

To win this race, we must be motivated by the saints of old and separated from the weight of the world. Repenting of our sins, we run the race of life with our eyes set on the Savior above.

Apply it to your life
Is your faith real, growing, and developing through wisdom and worship? Are you actively finding, following, and finishing the will of God?

I thank and praise the Family of the late Pastor, Doctor, Adrian Rogers a gentle Giant, hero of the faith for the many, many, years he ministered to his Congregation and the world.

[eddykirksey]

Thanks for putting these sermons on line. Pastor Rodgers has a great way to preach the word of God. Would you put me on a prayer chain to return to the faith. I wondered away, and I want to return to the truth. Thank you.

Sin looked at the wrong way can break one's faith. It should be known, to stop all that, to consider and understand that every human being is guilty of exactly the same amount of sin. To break one commandment is to break the rest. We're all in this together. All saved who agree.

[oneandatwo]

A truly great sermon, but with low volume.

While washing the dishes and listening this morning I missed too many words because even though I had the volume up all the way, it was too low.

[iamgordoguatemala]

We receive faith through repentance....it would have been nice for Adrian to mention repentance in that closing prayer. That's the only way Jesus will save you.

May God bless all the saints, and have great mercy on the rest

8:59 "He's talking about you, honey." 🤣

[harrymurray]

Completely false, unbiblical. No one in heaven that has died, is cheering us on.
