"In the day that God judges the secrets of men according to my gospel through Jesus Christ" Paul Romans 1:16.

Paul's gospel is our judge. Peter tells us , " our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you, as also in all his letters, speaking in them concerning these things, in which some things are hard to understand, which the unlearned and unstable twist, as also the rest of the scriptures, to their own destruction." 2 Peter 3:15-16

At Romans Paul has laid his gospel before us. He sets forth his introduction in 1:1-17. Then he lays his gospel before us in seven parts. The gospel is really the glad tidings. It is the Word of the oath coming to us in it's sevening. Each tide must develop by the Holy Spirits work in us to give ground for the next.

1. Condemnation 1:18-3:20. Here the Holy Spirit brings us to full condemnation. At this stage none can judge for all are judged equally condemned. Only when the Spirits work is mature in condemantion does the second tide come.

2. Justification: 3:21- 5:11. Here we see that the Lord's shed blood has removed all our sins and we are thus righteous. Most of christianity waffles back and forth between condemnation and justification because the condemantion work is not mature enought to fully open justification. There is still trust in self. But when we see we are fully justified by his blood, then the third tide comes.

3. Sanctification. 5:12- 8:13 In the first two our mouth is sufficient, but in the third measure our hand must be discovered and applied. Justification deals with our sins by his blood and the testimony of our mouth. But at sanctification the glad tidings deals with Sin and transfers the holy nature into us. Here the unspeakable gift branches into our hand. Here John 17:17-20 activate to us. We measure our steps in holiness. This leads to the fourth tide.

4. Glorification. 8;14-39. At each measure of sanctifications maturity the church enters glory. Glory is the result of sanctification. In glory the church is fully mature. Out of foretastes of glory we have the holy way to approach Israel. Then out of the glory comes the fifth measure of the glad tidings.

5. Selection. 9-11. This is where we remember Israel. Out of the glory we reach forth to remember and recover Israel into the sanctification fellowship. This is where Revelation chapter one opens. The faith in the glorious church reaches out on the right hand and connects with the faith of Israel on the left. From faith (ours) to faith (theirs) the righteousness of God is made known. 1:17. Together the glorious church walks hand in hand into the sixth measure....the transformation of the selected Israel.

6. Transformation. 12:1-15:13. Hand in hand with the church Israel matures into transformation and is ready to shepherd the nations the church is called out of. This brings in the rest of the seventh measure of the gospel.

7. Consumation 15:14-16:27 the nations offered acceptable in the hands of Israel, with the church.

This gospel judges the secrets of all men.
