Justification: A Study in RomansНамуна

What does it say?
God’s wrath will come against all godlessness and wickedness, but grace is available through faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord.
What does it mean?
Paul opened his letter to the Roman church by giving them the good and bad news. The bad news? The unrighteous nature of human beings is bent toward all manner of evil thoughts and behaviors. Paul lists sins like murder on equal footing with gossip and disobeying parents. Sin brings complete and eternal separation from God. The good news? He provides a perfect solution. By God’s grace, His righteousness is available through faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Gospel literally means “good news” and is summed up as the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus (1 Cor. 15:3).
How should I respond?
No one likes bad news from the doctor, but we all have the same terminal diagnosis: “ungodliness and unrighteousness.” Have you accepted God’s remedy in the good news of Jesus? If so, your spiritual healing should be evident through your reactions and daily choices. As a follower of Christ, which ungodly things from your sinful nature have you allowed to creep back into your life – envy, boasting, or a refusal to forgive? The gospel of Christ has the power to completely transform your life. Live today in light of your new diagnosis: eternal life!
Scripture
About this Plan

Considered one of the most theologically rich books of the New Testament, Romans is a treatise on the theology of salvation. Beginning with the hopelessness of our sin-filled state, Paul shows how God provides righteousness to His people through Jesus Christ. In Romans, we are reminded that justification does not come from status or moral achievement but from belief in the substitutionary death and glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ.
