  5. I am not ashamed of the gospel… How is the righteousness of God revealed in the gospel? It is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes In it the righteousness of God is revealed • In the wrath of God toward those who sin (Romans 1-3) • In the grace of God toward those who believe (Romans 4-8)

  6. The Righteousness of God is revealed… In judging the pagans who rejected Him (Chapter 1) In judging the Jews who disobeyed Him (Chapter 2) In judging all men who have sinned against Him (Chapter 3)

  7. The Righteousness of God is revealed… In reckoning men as righteous by crediting them with the righteousness of Christ (Chapter 4) In declaring men to be righteous on the basis of the reckoning described in the previous chapter (Chapter 5) What about sin? • Can we continue to live in sin? (6) • What about the sin that is still in our lives? (7) • In adopting us as His children (Chapter 8)

  8. What about Israel? How can we see God as righteous when His own chosen people do not believe and receive His promises? Not all Israel is Israel. God is sovereign and able to chose whom He wills. Salvation is offered to all who believe. Israel’s unbelief has resulted in blessings to the Gentiles. All Israel will be saved.
