Lesson 1983

(Lesson 1983)(04-07-17) Romans 3:27-31

"Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."

In today's quote, Paul, again, established that salvation is accomplished through faith alone, and that it is offered freely to both Jews and Gentiles. He further establishes that eternal salvation is NOT accomplished by works of the Law nor by the "good" things we do.

Paul also re-asserts that God the Father is both the God of the Jews and Gentiles equally. Our God is not a respecter of persons.~

NOTE: When Paul uses the term "circumcision" he is referring to those who are Jews by birth. When he uses the term "uncircumcision" he is referring to the Gentiles.
