Romans 3

“This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe” (22). Jews received “the very words of God” (1), and this Law created accountability and consciousness of sin (19-20). Although all humans break God’s law, it was fulfilled perfectly through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the Word of God in flesh. He atoned for our sins (25) and showed us what faithfulness to God looks like (21-26). Rather than boasting about ourselves, we humbly trust in him (27).

“For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law” (28). In an insecure world, we can live securely, because our relationship with God has been set right by Jesus.
