THE THESIS STATEMENT OF CHRISTENDOM

Taken as a whole, we can now see the heart of the Gospel that Paul has been working toward in the previous three chapters.

I guess the obvious question to ask is this: "If all humanity is sinful and lost, based on the requirements of the Law (vs. 23), how can God find a basis to forgive people and still remain Holy and Just?”

One can’t just say; “God's love can make up the difference.” That would be so simple! But love does not invalidate justice. For God to randomly forgive some people and condemn others would be cruel and reckless. God has to be consistent and remain true to Himself.

He needs a basis to satisfy His wrath and demonstrate His great love for us. Romans 3:21-26 ties the whole Bible together. In the person of Jesus Christ, God connects the Old Testament stories, the Law as given to Moses, the writings of the Old Testament Prophets…He is the basis for God's righteous redemption, even though, as Paul wrote in verse 23; “for all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God”.

How about you? Aren’t you glad that in your sinful state, our righteous God gave as a gift to you, His Son Jesus?

I know I am.
