Welcome to the Mark Driscoll podcast to find more Bible teaching from

Pastor Mark visit real faith.com. Thanks for listening and being a part of

real faith and remember it's all about Jesus. Well howdydy, if you got a Bible, we're in Romans Chapter 5,

and it's an incredible text today.

I'm super excited.

This is one of those texts of scripture that gives you perspective on all of human history and also your life

and struggles therein and sometimes we get into our life and we don't see the

totality of our life and every once in a while God

pulls back and lets us see things from his perspective as I was thinking and

praying for you this week it's like this photo this was the first time that we had a full photo of our entire planet.

This was the first time that we actually got to put our lives in perspective and context.

And all of a sudden where we live and what we see and where we go and who we know it fits within a greater scheme and grand plan of God and what I'm telling you today is that Romans 512 through 21 is like this photo. It's seeing

our planet and our history and your life from God's perspective. It's actually

getting it in right context. And so I'm really, really excited.

We're just gonna jump right into Romans

chapter 5, 12 through 14.

He talks first about our ruin, then our rescue,

and then our rain.

He says, therefore, based on everything up until this point,

just is sin.

That's our discussion today.

Our problem is sin.
