Romans 3:1-31 | Christian Community Church Arklow
Apostle Paul shared insights on how both the Jews and gentiles need to receive the gift of God’s grace rather than the belief that a right standing comes by works. He however made the Jews realise their faithlessness wouldn’t nullify God’s faithfulness.
He further explained that our acts of self-righteousness have nothing to do with God’s faithfulness. God will always be true, and every man a liar!
Observing the law doesn’t declare us righteous in the sight of God; rather we become conscious of sin through it; hence the need to embrace the grace of God. We can only access righteousness through our faith in Jesus Christ.
It is interesting that no matter what life brings our way; God will forever be faithful to His name and His words. Every human conclusion that does not conform to the word of God in your life is bound to fail. Only His words will set you free. Absolute faith in Jesus makes you righteous and qualifies you for supernatural blessings.
I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus therefore I live a life that is pleasing to God.
Reading – Romans 3:1-31
3 What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision?2 Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God.
5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? 7 Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?” 8 Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is just!
