Romans 3:21-4:25 (page 941)
… for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. ~ Romans 3:23-24, esv
Understanding “the law”:
· The BOOKS of the Law (Gen – Deut.)
· The Law of MOSES
· The TRADITIONS of the Jewish elders
· Any “CODE” by which we live or try to relate to God
We are saved BY GRACE; it is a GIFT.Jesus COMPLETED all that was needed at the cross. / We “access” salvation through FAITH / Our “deed” are the EVIDENCE or RESULT of our faith
Are you trying to get God to do what you want by your GOOD DEEDS?
Trusting Jesus means trusting Him with … (Romans 4:17)
· The PROMISE of LIFE AFTER DEATH
· The things we CANNOT SEE
