How can I gain God’s approval? ROMANS, Week 5

This week, Pastor Bartley Sawatsky continues our series through the book Romans. Our study today focuses in on Romans 3:21-31 and asking the question, "How can I gain God's approval?"

 

Romans 3:21-31 emphasizes that righteousness is obtained through faith in Jesus Christ, distinct from adherence to the law. The passage underscores that all, regardless of their background, can be justified by faith, as everyone falls short of God's glory. Paul asserts that faith does not nullify the law but establishes it, highlighting the transformative power of belief in Christ for salvation.

 

According to Romans 3:21-31, gaining God's approval is not achieved through adherence to the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. The key is to trust in Christ's redemptive work, as all fall short of God's standards. By embracing faith in Christ, one can receive justification and approval from God, irrespective of personal shortcomings. ABOUT THE SERIES Paul’s letter to the church in Rome is widely loved among followers of Jesus as one of the most theologically rich books in the entire Bible. Its themes of salvation, grace and faith have resonated deeply with readers in different times, places and circumstances. As we take a fresh look at the book of Romans for our day, we’ll take our time to journey through the text, ask thoughtful questions and allow it to kindle our faith and love for Jesus.

We meet at 4:00 pm in person every Sunday afternoon at 7755 Tenth Line West, Mississauga. We'd love to meet you and invite you to join us there!
