  2. Romans 3:21 God’s wrath is revealed because of sin. God’s righteousness is revealed because of wrath.

  3. Romans 3:21 God’s righteousness was clear in the O.T.

  4. Romans 3:21 To add any idea of merit to getting God’s righteousness, with ideas like “make a commitment” or “follow”, is to entirely miss the point!

  5. Romans 3:21 Only those justified by grace apart from works can have assurance and know they have eternal life!

  6. What some “gospels” say…

  7. That’s double-talk!

  8. Romans 3:21b-23 We have one hope to escape the mess we’ve created… God’s righteousness has to be freely given.

  9. Romans 3:21 Righteousness is given to those who believe because there is no other way! Eph. 2:8-9

  10. Romans 3:21 Only those who realize they are without hope can have hope.

  11. Romans 3:21 There is no such thing as “easy believe-ism”.

  12. Romans 3:21 It is never easy to believe in Someone else for something as important as your eternal destiny.

  13. Romans 3:21 But, faith certainly is simple. And, there is no other kind.

  14. Romans 3:21 Human beings often have a certain dislike for grace. It is difficult to not contribute anything.

  15. Romans 3:21 Resting entirely on grace does not cheapen it. Resting entirely on grace exalts it… and the One who made it possible.

  16. Romans 3:21 What truly cheapens grace is an attempt to add works. It is not that we don’t do anything. It is that we don’t merit anything.

  17. Romans 3:21b-23 There is no difference in any person! All have sinned! All fall short!

  18. Romans 3:21b-23 Therefore, all are enslaved!

  19. Romans 3:24 We are declared righteous “freely” by grace! Rom. 11:6

  20. Romans 3:24 In Paul’s day, “redemption” involved the setting free of slaves or prisoners of war.

  21. Romans 3:25 Jesus Himself is our Mercy Seat. That is where man meets God!

  22. Romans 3:25 Jesus Himself is our Mercy Seat. That is where man meets God!

  23. Romans 3:25 The blood of Christ is the way God can meet man!

  24. Romans 3:25 God could rightfully pass over sins committed prior to the cross because He knew the cross was coming.

  25. Romans 3:25 At the cross, the righteous judgment of God fell on His Son.

  26. Romans 3:25-26 At the cross, both mercy and righteousness were on display!

  27. Romans 3:25-26 At the cross, all sins, past, present, and future, were dealt with. John 1:29

  28. Romans 3:26 Because of the cross, God is righteous in the way He has acted toward sin AND has the capacity to declare anyone righteous who believes.

  29. Romans 3:26 Any attempt to add good works before, during, or after faith is to contradict Paul’s claim.

  30. Romans 3:26 Anything that is “necessary” is a condition!

  31. Romans 3:26 Grace and works are opposites! Romans 11:6

  32. Romans 3:26 Truth is not determined by what we think is true or by what “sounds right to us”. Truth is determined by the Scriptures.

  33. Romans 3:26 Popular to say that if a person does not act like a Christian, he is not a Christian.

  34. Romans 3:26 Yet, while some may sound that way without careful study , there is not so much as one verse in the Bible that actually teaches that.

  35. Romans 3:26 In fact, many say the opposite. 1 Cor. 3:1-3; 5; 2 Peter 1:5-11

  36. Romans 3:26 Assurance leads to growth!

  37. Romans 3:26 But, if my assurance comes from anything that changes, like lifestyle, so will my assurance!

  38. Romans 3:27 If grace and works are opposites, there is no place for human pride. Romans 2:17-20; 3:19-20

  39. Romans 3:27 Remember this guy? Luke 18:9-14

  40. Romans 3:27 You can’t include works and exclude boasting.

  41. Romans 3:28-29 The bottom-line! And, it is a universal bottom-line! Rom. 4:4

  42. Romans 3:30-31 As the Jews believed, there is one God! Deut. 6:4

  43. Romans 3:30-31 And, that one God will justify anyone by faith!

  44. Romans 3:30-31 So, does that mean the Law is invalid? Nope!

  45. Romans 3:30-31 The Law does its job when it convicts men.

  46. Romans 3:30-31 And, the Law shows that no one gets a passing grade! 2:13; 3:19-20

  47. Romans 3:30-31 The starting place for getting free from enslavement is to be righteous.

  48. Romans 3:30-31 That righteousness can only come freely, by grace through faith, because of man’s sin and inability to be righteous.

  49. Romans 3:30-31 Our Justification starts with grace. Our growth continues with grace. Gal. 3:1-3

  50. Romans 3:30-31 Along with righteousness comes a new relationship to God and new possibilities. Eph. 2:1-10
