In this study of Romans chapter 4, we look at the basis for salvation.
How can a just God justify sinful man? It doesn’t matter how good we may think we are, even our highest standard still falls short of the perfection of a holy God.
None of us could earn heaven by our efforts, no matter how hard we tried.
So how does God demonstrate His mercy and yet maintain His righteous justice?
The Apostle Paul takes us to two Old Testament examples, Abraham and David, to show that Salvation is not by works, nor by the keeping of the law, but by faith in His grace alone. But that faith will show itself to be genuine by the fruit it produces.
May you be blessed and encouraged by this study.
