Arguments for Justification
#
Romans 3:19-31
Introduction
Outline for Chapter 3
- Paul’s Answer to Objections (Romans 3:1-8)
- Paul’s Assertion of Sin (Romans 3:9-18)
- Paul’s Argument of Justification (Romans 3:19-31)
In verses 19-20, Paul is recapping what has been explained for the past
few chapters. All of man is guilty before God! He has left no stone
unturned in dealing extensively with the issue of sin, the knowledge of
sin, for both the religious Jewish leaders and the Gentiles who were
ignorant of sin.

Justified by Faith, not works
#
Romans 4:1-8
Introduction
Paul presented Justification by faith in chapter 3, he further defends
it in chapter 4. In this chapter we will look at the fact that
Justification is by faith, not works (1-8), Justification is by grace,
not law (9-17) and Justification is by Resurrection power not human
effort (18-25).
Justification is the absolute cleaning of our account. So before God we
are not sinners.

Justification by Grace
#
Romans 4:9-16
Introduction
In this chapter we will look at the fact that Justification is by faith,
not works (1-8), Justification is by grace, not law (9-17) and
Justification is by Resurrection power not human effort (18-25).
Once again, the central theme is going to be around Abraham. To the
Jews, he is their Father. There is no doubt, they occupy a special place
in history, the Bible, and to God. They ARE God’s chosen people. We
don’t replace that. However, because of that status, they struggled to
understand how Salvation could be open to all!

These should be a great encouragement to every child of God!
