Romans 3

Romans 3 delves into the universality of sin and the righteousness of God. Paul points out that all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we are justified freely by His grace. This chapter highlights the core of the gospel message: salvation through faith, not works. Paul dismantles any notion of human boasting by affirming that righteousness comes from God and is received by faith. He also addresses the role of the law, explaining that it makes us aware of sin but cannot save us. As you study this chapter, consider the profound gift of grace and how it impacts your relationship with God and others.
