Chapter 2

ETERNAL LIFE and BETTER LAW

Romans 2:13 those who obey the law who will be declared righteous = eternal life

GOD IS FAITHFUL

Romans 3:4 Let God be true, and every human being a liar.

NO ONE RIGHTEOUS

Romans 3:20–21 NIV

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

righteousness is not achieved by the works of the law

the righteousness of God has been made known

the Law and the Prophets testify to this = the Word and the Spirit

THERE IS HOPE

Romans 3:22–23

This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

the devil wishes to steal our destiny our hope away

he wants us to stay in the bondage of sin

endless pursuit through works of the law

Jesus Christ is the answer

Simple Menu

all have sinned

fallen short of God’s holiness

righteousness must be regained

man cannot do it by the Law

faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to righteousness

Romans 3:24 NIV

and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

JUSTIFIED FREELY

there is no price to pay

justified freely by Christ

not by our effort, not by obeying the law, not by anything human

the unmerited and generous gift of grace

the shed blood of Jesus, totally sin free, was the complete price

redemption came by Christ Jesus

Romans 3:25 NIV

God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—

Jesus an Extraordinary Man

already established that all have sinned

all have lost our place in heaven

Jesus was able to be the sacrifice of atonement

he was able to pay the penalty of sin

WHY he was without sin

I cannot explain how Jesus could do this

NO SIN JESUS

as a baby did not say no

knew he was different - Luke 2: 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.

he was tested - Luke 4:2 where for forty days he was tempted by the devil

offered provisions, power, protection

Jesus was true to God - full of the Holy Spirit, knew the Word of God

did not sin no matter what provocation happened

tricky questions, exits left and right

Romans 3:26 NIV

he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

GOD IS JUST

why does God tolerant evil and all the bad things that happen?

why does not God do something?

well he did

he needed the sacrifice of Jesus for the past and present and future justification

the answer is right here in front of us

are we going to take it?

Romans 3:28 NIV

For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

NO BOASTING

boasting not allowed

following the law a no go

WE ARE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH
