Sermon Series: The Story of the Bible
Message 13: "Justified by Faith"
Romans 3:21-28
Paul's letter to the Romans is not for those looking for an easy Christianity. Romans challenge us to look at all the premises of our faith. The book's first three chapters tell us that none of us, not even the best of us, measure up to God's standards of moral holiness. While our culture tells us that we are basically good people who have been damaged by our environment, the Bible clearly states that we are all sinners, without hope of ever gaining God's favor.
Except. . . now Paul delivers some critically important news. We may fall short of God's standard, but God has provided a way for us. That way is called: justification.
