Last night I said that Colossus 116 taught that everything exists including the rulers and authorities which are the devil and all of his angels.

Everything exists including including the devil and his sin including Adam and his

sin for Christ in order to make Christ look great.

Now I'm going to go further with this but before I do you say a word about why this matters and why you should care about this at least beginnings of it and I hope you'll hear more.

I think in my preaching about, and my ministry about helping people defensively and offensively

in life, pastors should be defending their people and

should be mobilizing them for offensive action in the world.

And the great defense is is I want you to really really believe Romans 828.

And the way this fits with CJ is that what we're talking to ourselves is promises of God bought by the

blood of Jesus, the biggest of which is everything works together for our good and I know that even if you

have it worked out so that tsunamis work together for good and cancer works

together for good and loss of job works together for good.

In loss of job, works together for good.

So many people don't have it worked out that the sins against you work together for good, including your own.

That doesn't seem right.

It seems too dangerous to say that because it's going to incline us to sin that Grace may abound.

I already got somebody asked me that from last night.

If the law came in to increase the trespass,

in order that where sin increases,

grace may abound to the glory of Christ,

and let us sin, that grace may abound.

You think that was a surprise to Paul?
