Justification by Faith
27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. 28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 30 since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law. —Romans 3:27-31
To be justified means to be declared righteous,
and we are justified by grace through faith.
But remember, faith doesn’t save us. God saves us.
Faith is a tool. God is the Savior.
What is Faith? Knowledge + Belief + Trust
