Righteousness Only By Faith – Why?

Righteousness Only By Faith – Why?
1.
God decreed it so
2.
Righteousness is a gift
for all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God, being justified as a gift by
His grace through the redemption which
is in Christ Jesus;
- Romans 3:23-24
For the wages of sin is death, but the
free gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
- Romans 3:23-24
Righteousness Only By Faith – Why?
1.
God decreed it so
2.
Righteousness is a gift
3.
Righteousness by faith honors God
Where then is boasting? It is excluded.
By what kind of law? Of works? No, but
by a law of faith. For we maintain that a
man is justified by faith apart from
works of the Law.
- Rom. 3:27-28
1.
What is the matter with you?
You foolish Galatians, who has
bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus
Christ was publicly portrayed as
crucified?
- Gal. 3:1
2.
How did you receive the
Holy Spirit?
This is the only thing I want to find out
from you: did you receive the Spirit by
the works of the Law, or by hearing
with faith?
- Gal. 3:2
3.
What system is working in you
now?
Are you so foolish? Having begun
by the Spirit, are you now being
perfected by the flesh?
- Gal. 3:3
4.
Was it all for nothing?
Did you suffer so many things in vain—if
indeed it was in vain?
- Gal. 3:4
5.
Where do miracles come from?
So then, does He who provides you with
the Spirit and works miracles among
you, do it by the works of the Law, or by
hearing with faith?
- Gal. 3:5
Faith in Christ =
Righteousness + Holy Spirit
Why Struggle With Sin?
In Galatians, Paul contrasts the Judaizers' emphasis on obedience to the Law with his teaching on righteousness through faith in Christ. The concept of perfection is explored, highlighting that righteousness is only attained through faith as a gift from God, not by works of the Law. This theological discussion delves into the central theme of justification by faith and the exclusion of boasting based on works. The verses in Romans underscore the fundamental truth that all have sinned, yet can receive the gift of eternal life through Christ Jesus.
