The Foundation of Justification

James Rochford

Romans 5:1-11

Contrary to a typical religious mentality, Paul establishes that those who have trusted in Christ have already been made righteous--we do not need to do good works or lead a moral life to achieve God's acceptance because we already have it. This means we can live a life based on grace, which is secure in our relationship with God. This security enables us to persevere and grow, even through trials, because our hope is sure.

Our Problem, God's Solution

Conrad Hilario

Romans 3:9-28

Paul describes humanity's problem of sin, saying that there is no one righteous, not even one. Then he lays out God's solution to our problem: forgiveness received freely by the sacrifice of Jesus as payment for our sin. We are left with a choice to either continue trying to earn our way to God, or to place our trust in the free gift of grace purchased by Jesus.

Two Genealogies

Mike Sullivan

Genesis 4:17-5:32

Genesis 4 and 5 trace the genealogy of two of Adam and Eve's sons, Cain and Seth. The result is two humanities: Cain's line that pursues rebellion against God and leads to destruction, and Seth's line that turns back to him and brings about Jesus, the Savior. We cannot be born into one line or the other but must choose for ourselves which to align ourselves with.

Our Problem, God's Solution

Scott Risley

Romans 3:9-30

Paul explains humanity's problem with God--that all have fallen short of God's perfect standard and deserve judgment. Now he transitions to explaining God's solution to our problem: forgiveness through faith in Jesus' sacrifice for our sins. When we place our trust in Christ we are freely forgiven and can enjoy humble unity with one another.

Seeing God Through His Creation (Part 1)

Scott Risley
