Listen to Sermon Here
How we view things in life is important. Our life perspective is impacted by our family background, experiences, education, where we live, where we have been, and opportunities we have had. We need to be able to view salvation from God's perspective and Romans 3 enables us to do that.
*Salvation is rooted in God's righteousness.
- God is the source of righteousness.
- God is the standard of righteousness.
- God's righteousness is everlasting.
- God's righteousness has been demonstrated and pointed to by the Law and the Prophets.
- God's righteousness has now been displayed apart from our work of the law.
- God's righteousness is given by His grace as a gift.
* Salvation is secured by the finished work of Jesus.
- Justification
- Redemption
- Propitiation
*Salvation is received by faith.
What is faith?
- Faith includes knowledge.
- Faith includes the heart.
- Faith includes the will.
v27 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded.
We have no room to congratulate ourselves or exalt ourselves.
Have you trusted in Jesus Christ? If not, reach out to Jesus, and place your hand in the nail scarred hand.
