    God’s Accounting System
    Series: Romans
    Basic finances and accounting are familiar enough.  But, God's accounting system is different.  In God's accounting system, by faith in Christ, God credits our account with righteousness.  Furthermore, by faith in Christ, God doesn’t debit our account with sin.
     
    The Good News is that in His accounting system God accepts us, through our faith, just as we are.

    Where God’s Grace Shows Up
    Series: Romans
    Having spent almost 3 chapters explaining the "bad news," Paul now turns to explain the "good news" and the relief and joy that come as we find justification through faith in Christ alone.  God's righteousness revealed the solution to our sin, and what we find is that faith is how we receive God's fantastic grace.
     
    God's gracious gift of redemption comes through faith in Christ.

    Are Good Works Good Enough?
    Series: Romans
    We’re coming to the end of Paul’s “bad news.”  He has spent most of the opening 3 chapters of Romans laying out the problem every single person faces in life – we all stand guilty before God.  Paul says 3 things about our sinful status – we are confirmed as sinners by our character – we are confirmed as sinners by our conduct – and as confirmed sinners we are condemned.  But (spoiler alert), the good news yet to come is that – confirmed sinners can be saved by Christ.
     
    We can’t save ourselves from the consequences of sin, but, Christ can!

    I Object
    Series: Romans
    As we come into Romans 3, Paul anticipates objections that might be raised by Jewish readers of his letter.  With the 8 verses of our text, Paul gives voice to 4 specific objections some Jews might have had to his message, and shows how God sequentially overrules them.   
     
    Our objections don’t overrule God’s justice – He is faithful, and willing to forgive.

    Declaration of Dependence
    Series: John
    Liberty, or freedom, is a concept that is highly valued in our culture.  On Independence Day, a day we celebrate national freedom, what we find in John 8:31-36 is that true freedom is only found through faith in Christ.
     
    Jesus clearly shows us that we are slaves to sin, that slavery to sin leaves us outside of God’s family, and our initial reaction to sin is to deny we’re enslaved to it.  Christ alone offers us true freedom, that freedom comes to us as we respond to the truth, and we need to continue to live in light of the truth.
     
    True freedom is only found through faith in Christ – declare your dependence.

    God’s Judgment on the Judgmental
    Series: Romans
    In Romans 2, Paul continues to lay out the “bad news” for us.  It doesn’t matter who we are, we are all staring God’s judgment in the face.  Three facts about God’s judgment show up in our passage – God’s Judgment is Inescapable, God's Judgment is Righteous, and God's Judgment is Impartial.
     
    None of us is good enough to escape God’s judgment on our own – we must believe in Jesus, trusting God for His mercy and grace.

    Speed Limits & Stop Signs
    Series: Romans
    To fully appreciate the "Good News" that God has for us, Paul takes the remainder of Romans 1 to give us the "Bad News."  Paul begins this section of his letter by showing us that God’s wrath against sin is justified.  He goes on with the bulk of the passage to show us that people’s suppression of the truth has consequences, and he concludes with a warning against approving of unrighteousness. With some very vivid warnings, this passage encourages us to acknowledge God and His rightful place in our lives, giving Him the honor & thanks He deserves.
