Thought Flow
1. LAST WEEK:
2. THIS WEEK:
Faith brings righteousness (3:21–26).
Faith excludes boasting (3:27-31).
Three Questions:
1. What becomes of boasting (3:27-28)?
What is the “law of works” vs. the “law of faith”?
“Therefore…A man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law”: See Eph 2:8-9; Tit 3:5.
2. Is God the God of the Jews only (3:29-30)?
“God of the Jews Only”:
“Who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith”:
Why is “will justify” in the future tense?
3. Does faith overthrow the Law (3:31)?
“We establish the law”:
Application:
1. Faith excludes boasting for the unbeliever.
2. Faith excludes boasting for the believer.
3. Faith is receiving God’s free gift of righteousness for salvation.
