The Righteousness That Is Given, Not Earned

from Charcoal Fire Bible Study Hosted by Pastor Bill Schott

As we kick off this series, Pastor Bills teaches how Romans 1:16–17 reveals that God’s righteousness is not an impossible standard to achieve but a gift received by faith—Christ’s perfect righteousness freely given to sinners who believe. This truth, which transformed Martin Luther, shattered fear, opened Scripture, and set hearts free. Yet God’s righteousness is not passive: Christ, the greater Solomon, established His kingdom by suffering violence and will return as the righteous King who defeats evil so His people may live, rejoice, and dwell securely by faith.
