Sermon: Romans 3:21-31
Romans 1:18-3:20 God’s wrath and human unrighteousness
Romans 3:21-26
But now … a righteousness from God apart from law
3:21 how can we be righteous when the law exposes how sinful we are?
3:22-23 all sin, all who believe are declared righteous
3:24-25 justified by redemption in Christ who propitiates!
3:26 the just God justifies to show his justice
Romans 3:27-31
But now … a righteousness from God by faith alone
3:27-28 righteousness by faith excludes boasting
3:29-30 God is one so he will justify Jews and Gentiles by faith
3:27-31 faith is not against the law but upholds it
