LESSON NINE:
“BELIEVING THE GOSPEL OF JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH”
Taken together, Romans Chapter Four and
Chapter Five make Paul’s argument for total
justification by faith in the finished work of Christ on
the cross:
“FOR BY ONE MAN’S DISOBEDIENCE MANY WERE
MADE SINNERS, SO ALSO BY ONE MAN’S OBEDIENCE
MANY WILL BE MADE RIGHTEOUS”
Rom. 5:19
Here then is the hope of the gospel as presented
by Paul:
INDEED YOU CONTINUE IN THE FAITH, GROUNDED AND STEADFAST,
AND ARE NOT MOVED AWAY FROM THE HOPE OF THE GOSPEL…”
THE GOSPEL MESSAGE OF
BY FAITH
Rom. 3:24 Rom. 3:28
“BEING JUSTIFIED “…JUSTIFIED BY FAITH
FREELY APART FROM
BY HIS GRACE…” THE DEEDS OF THE LAW”
Rom. 4:5
“…BUT TO HIM WHO…BELIEVES ON HIM
WHO JUSTIFIES THE UNGODLY,
HIS FAITH IS ACCOUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS”
Rom. 5:9
“MUCH MORE THEN,
HAVING NOW BEEN JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD,
WE SHALL BE SAVED FROM WRATH THROUGH HIM.”
