Justified by faith without works of the law

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: In Romans 3:21-31, Paul explains that the justice of God has been manifested through faith in Jesus Christ, not through the works of the law. He emphasizes that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and that salvation is only possible through grace and faith in Christ. He also confronts the pride and boasting of the Jews, who believed they were superior because of their adherence to the law. Paul concludes that all humanity is justified by faith without the works of the law, and that salvation is available to both Jews and Gentiles. He warns against the belief that good works can earn salvation, emphasizing that all are under sin and in need of grace. It is important for believers to be biblically literate and to study the word of God to understand these concepts.

In this sermon, the speaker discusses the concept of salvation through Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that no one can be saved through their own good works, as all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. Paul's message in Romans is that salvation is only possible through faith in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross as a substitution for our sins. The speaker also discusses the role of the law in revealing our inability to save ourselves and the importance of humility and meekness in recognizing God's sovereignty. Ultimately, salvation is a gift of grace from God, and we must accept it through faith in Jesus Christ.

In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of having Christ as a lawyer before the throne of God. He highlights the impossibility of defending oneself before God and the need for a specialized knowledge to do so. He also emphasizes that salvation is not by works but by the mercy of God, and that as Christians, we should have a sense of deep gratitude and humility towards God. He encourages us to have mercy on others and not judge them, and to always look at ourselves first before looking at the speck in others' eyes. The sermon ends with an invitation for anyone who has not given their life to Jesus Christ to do so and entrust themselves to the hands of the Lord.

Let's go to verse 21, Romans 3:21, from 21 to 31. Actually we are going to be touching the whole Chapter but these verses are representative of the content of the rest of the Chapter.

It says: .... But now... –there are two very important things there, a 'but' and it also says 'now'. Remember that the Apostle Paul is speaking in terms of his time. Now why? Because there has been a change in the situation of man, of humanity in the time of Paul. That now is in Christ.
