ll Have Sinned, So How Can Anyone Be Saved? | Romans 3 Bible Study

Welcome to Bible Chapter by Chapter. In this episode, we walk carefully through Romans Chapter 3, one of the most important turning points in the entire New Testament.After exposing the brokenness of the world in Romans 1 and the hypocrisy of self-righteous judgment in Romans 2, Paul now brings everything to a head. His conclusion is devastating and necessary: no one is righteous, not even one. Every person stands guilty before a holy God. Every mouth is silened. The law cannot justify us. It can only reveal sin.But Romans 3 does not stop with condemnation.This chapter contains one of the clearest and most powerful explanations of the gospel in all of Scripture. Right in the middle of humanity’s hopeless condition, Paul declares that a righteousness from God has now been revealed apart from the law. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.In this study, we look at:- Why Israel’s unfaithfulness does not cancel God’s faithfulness- Why Paul rejects the idea of doing evil so good may come- What Paul means when he says all are under sin- Why the law reveals sin but cannot save- What it means to be justified freely by God’s grace- How God remains both just and the justifier- Why boasting is excluded- Why salvation by faith opens the door to both Jew and GentileRomans 3 is the chapter where justice and mercy meet. Paul shows us that God does not ignore sin, and he does not lower his standard. Instead, through Jesus Christ, God provides the righteousness we could never produce ourselves. That is the heart of the gospel.If you have ever wondered:How can sinful people stand before a righteous God?How can God be just and still forgive?What does it actually mean to be justified by faith?This chapter answers those questions.Thank you for joining me as we continue Season 5: The Power of the Gospel.Listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD?si=2DPbX0qqT1CwTrNmLFR8NwPlease like, subscribe, and share this study with someone walking through Romans.
