justification

The great truths that Paul expounds in the early chapters of Romans don’t just leave us unpunished by sin, they lead us into fellowship with the eternal God. Peter continues in Romans 5 today.

In Romans 4 we get a picture of what faith really looks like. Abraham is a model of faith because his faith rests on the promises of God. Peter explains.

This week we continue our series in Romans. It is so instinctive for us to try to justify ourselves to do good work so that God will count us as righteous. Paul explains in Romans 3-4 that this is not the case at all.

At the start of the book of Romans, Paul is making it very clear for his readers that righteousness that depends on human effort cannot make us right with God. Before we can take hold of the gospel, we need to let go of self righteousness. Peter explains.
