LIVE: "The Righteousness of God Revealed" (Rom 1:17), Part 1/4

Send us Fan MailRomans 1:16-17 is one of the clearest summaries of Christianity’s core claim, and we take it slow on purpose. The gospel isn’t a motivational message or a list of religious steps. We argue from Paul’s words that it is the power of God unto salvation precisely because something is unveiled inside it: the righteousness of God. We talk about what “not ashamed of the gospel” looks like in real life, then move into the heart of the passage. “The righteousness of God” isn’t human morality upgraded or spiritual effort polished up. It is a righteousness that originates with God, is established by God, and is granted to sinners who believe. That pushes back on every form of self-righteousness, whether it shows up as moral improvement, religious ceremony, baptismal confidence, or the quiet belief that our obedience completes what Jesus started. Along the way we connect the dots to big theological themes listeners search for all the time: justification by faith, salvation by grace, Christ alone, assurance, and why human works cannot satisfy divine justice. We also focus on the word “revealed” and why saving righteousness is not discovered by philosophy or speculation, but disclosed by God in the gospel. If you’ve ever wondered what it really means that “the just shall live by faith,” press play, share this with someone who wrestles with earning God’s approval, and subscribe, rate, and review so more people can find the message of Romans 1:16-17.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!
