ROMANS – THE WAY TO BE RIGHT WITH GOD

ROMANS 3:21-26

1.) RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOW REVEALED (ROM. 3:21-22)

a.) Righteousness “Without the law” (Rom. 3:21)
b.) Righteousness foretold “Witnessed” (Rom. 3:21)
c.) Righteousness revealed in Jesus Christ (Rom. 3:22) (Rom. 10:4; 1 Cor. 1:30; Phil. 3:9)

2.) RIGHTEOUSNESS IS FOR EVERYONE (ROM. 3:22-23)

a.) All who believe (2 Pet. 1:4; Jn. 14:16-17; 2 Cor. 5:21; Eph. 4:24; Col. 3:3, 10)
b.) All who need: “There is no difference”

1.) All have sinned (Rom. 3:23; Gal. 3:22; 1 Jn. 1:8, 5:19; Gen. 6:5; 1 Kings 8:46; Ps. 53:3; Prov. 20:9; Eccl. 7:20; Isa. 53:6, 64:6; Micah 7:2)
2.) All come short of God’s Glory (Rom. 3:23)

a.) Glory is light (Rev. 21:10-11, 23; Mt. 17:2; Acts 22:6; Ex. 34:29)
b.) Glory is purity (1 Jn. 1:5; Mt. 19:17, 5:48)
c.) Glory is majesty (Isa. 6:1, 3, 57:15; Ps. 93:1)
d.) Glory is being (Rev. 4:11; Isa. 43:10; Mt. 19:17)

3.) RIGHTEOUSNESS IS ONLY POSSIBLE THROUGH JUSTIFICATION (ROM. 3:24)

a.) Is a free gift of God
b.) Is through redemption: (1 Cor. 6:20, 7:23; 2 Pet. 2:1; Gal. 3:13, 4:5; Titus 2:14; 1 Pet. 1:18)
c.) Redemption is “In Christ Jesus” (Lev. 17:11; Mt. 20:28; 1 Cor. 6:20, 7:23; Eph. 1:7; Col. 1:14; 1 Tim. 2:5-6; Heb. 9:15; 1 Pet.1:18-19; 2 Pet. 2:1; Rev. 5:9, 14:3-4)
To Be Continued:

“If you find a “Christianity” that does not emphasize the cross, you are listening to “another gospel” which is not the true gospel. The true gospel is based only upon the redemption which Jesus accomplished in his cross”
