God’s Righteousness Displayed
But Now….The Righteousness of God
God’s Righteousness comes Through Faith In Jesus Christ. Romans 3:21-31 – “But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, but it is the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of…
The Total Depravity of Man
Total depravity is universal spiritual deadness that affects every part of you from birth. Romans 3:10-20
The Distortions of the Lawless Heart
Grace is not a license to sin, it is the power to repent and obey. Romans 3:5-9 – “But,” some might say, “our sinfulness serves a good purpose, for it helps people see how righteous God is. Isn’t it unfair, then, for him to punish us?” (This is merely a human point of view.) Of course not! If God were not entirely fair, how would he be qualified to judge the world?…

No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by the…
God’s Evaluation by Jesus Christ
Christ will evaluate our lives based on what we have done. Romans 2:12-16 When the Gentiles sin, they will be destroyed, even though they never had God’s written law. And the Jews, who do have God’s law, will be judged by that law when they fail to obey it. For merely listening to the law doesn’t make us right with God. It is obeying the law that makes us right in his…
Repentance and Good Deeds
God’s Judgment and Kindness
God’s kindness is intended to turn you from your sin. Romans 2:1-5 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a…
