I could not remember any specific sermons that I’ve heard to write my blog post about. I decided to google sermons and see what comes up. I found a sermon from a series of sixteen sermons. I chose the tenth sermon that the author wrote about having peace by being justified by faith.
The author starts out by quoting the passage of scripture that his sermon is about. His sermon is based off of Romans chapter 5 verse 1, “Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” The author’s whole idea is to say that the wicked have no peace with God. He proves that statement with logos by citing where he gets that idea in the book of Isaiah chapter 48 verse 22, “There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.” The wicked can be secure if and only if they do not know about God and their sins, but as soon as they find out about God, they will be miserable. He also uses logos by defining his terms. He defines justified as to be pardoned and accepted by God. He also uses pathos by becoming relatable when he talks about Jesus pardoning his sins, and he immediately attains peace with God.
He then goes on to say that any sinner can be saved as long as he recognizes that Christ died for sins such as his, and as soon as he does realize this, he will immediately have peace with God. He uses logos once more for this by citing scripture to justify the statement (John 6:37).
He then concludes his sermon by taking the scriptures he quoted and the statements he made based on those scriptures, and he rewords them in an encouraging and challenging manor. His final statement is quite effective, it uses pathos. It goes as follows, “To have God for our Father, Christ for our Redeemer, the Holy Ghost for our Comforter, death our friend, heaven our home, and a happy eternity before us of peace and joy. Sinner, is this thy case?” This uses pathos by making you want to be a follower of God so that you can have all of those things.
I believe that the author’s argument was logical and reasonable. He worked in a logical structure that eventually made his main point that much stronger. He used logos and pathos. He used logos by quoting a book as his example, the book being the bible. He used pathos by relating the sermon to his own life.
I believe that this sermon, although short, is extremely effective and persuasive. He persuaded me to continue to be peaceful and I am sure he would change the minds of those who do not know God yet or who need to hear this.

I love the idea we can be saved by recognizing our sin.
