ROMANS: JUSTIFIED BY GRACE

[Doug]

(Romans 3:10 KJV) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

(Romans 3:12 KJV) They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

That none are righteous is found in the Psalms and prophets:

(Psalm 14:1 KJV) [[To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David.]] The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.

(Psalm 14:3 KJV) They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

(Isaiah 64:6 KJV) But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

(Romans 3:19 KJV) Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

Israel under the law would have their mouths stopped from boasting of their righteousness in the law; both Jew and Gentile are guilty before God.

(Romans 3:20 KJV) Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.

The law can not justify, it can only show sin.

(Romans 3:21 KJV) But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

The righteousness of God is now manifested through Paul.

The law and the prophets witnessed the righteousness of God:

(Isaiah 45:25 KJV) In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

(Romans 3:22 KJV) Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

The righteousness of God is only by faith; faith placed in Jesus Christ; to all, Jew and Gentile, who believe the gospel of the redemption of Christ.

(Romans 3:23 KJV) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

(Romans 3:24 KJV) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

All have sinned and all are freely justified by his grace.

Justification is being declared righteous.

Redemption is being purchased, payment of ransom, delivered, set free. Those who by faith believe are redeemed in Christ Jesus.

(Romans 3:25 KJV) Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Propitiation is the means of appeasement. God set forth Christ as a propitiation through faith in his blood.

Remission of sins is forgiveness for sin.

God could declare remission of the past sins Israel committed under the old testament (Hebrews 9:15).

(Romans 3:26 KJV) To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

God can now be just and justify (declare righteous) those who believe in Christ Jesus.

(Romans 3:27 KJV) Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

The law and prophets declared the law of faith:

(Habakkuk 2:4 KJV) Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

(Romans 3:28 KJV) Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Even the prophets declared righteousness was not in the works of the law, but only in the Lord:

(Jeremiah 23:6 KJV) In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this [is] his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

(Romans 3:30 KJV) Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

For Jew and Gentile justification (being declared righteous) comes by faith.

 

[101G]

Israel under the law would have their mouths stopped from boasting of their righteousness in the law; both Jew and Gentile are guilty before God.

Amen, Jews and Gentiles are all in the same boat, the boat of SIN... YIKES!. instead of being on a slow boat to china, the sin boat is a slow boat to hell. all aboard, Jews, gentiles, bond or free, or male and females also......ect.... the only Righteous thing in God's eye is the Ordinal Last, the Christ, his son. and if one want to be RIGHT in God's eyes, ... as some say, the Apple of his eye", one must be in Christ, where the only righteousness is Found. for he fulfilled all of the Law once and for all. and if one want to be righteous, get the Lord Jesus, and you'll be right in God's eyes. 1 Timothy 1:9 "Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,"1 Timothy 1:10 "For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;"

"that the law is not made for a righteous man" Bingo. and our righteousness is in Christ Jesus, the only righteous man, the NEW MAN..

[justbyfaith]

Romans 3:10-18 is what the law says about those who are under it. It applies to Jews and Gentiles (Romans 3:9), but not the church of God (see 1 Corinthians 10:32).

In Romans 3:19, we find that what the law says, it says to those who are under the law. Therefore the law calls men sinners who are under the law.

In Romans 6:14, we find that those who have received grace (again, the church) are not under the law but under grace.

Therefore, what the law says about those who are under it (that they are sinners) does not hold true of the true church.

'nuff said!

Here's a simple question for you. Can you please provide substantiation, from any of the 4 Gospels where the teachings of Jesus Christ, the New Covenant and grace of God to us, for any of the statements listed in your original post there?

Well you may have to clarify the question. Its seems to me the OP and those responding to it are speaking of grace through faith, and that we are no longer under the law.

It seems to me that you want something from the gospels (not the epistles) to prove what the epistles say are true.

Well... I do have one:

John 1:17 KJV
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

But that verse does not say what the OP says the letters of Paul say which is haat we are justified by grace.

Jesus Christ(The Grace and Truth of God) is the New Covenant promised by God, the Law of the Kingdom of Heaven( complete with it's own set of blessings, curses, ritual, commandments(about 46 of them), promises, Seal, etc.).

Unlike the Old Law(Old Covenant) which was an agreement between God and those of the blood of Jacob(children of Isreal), the New Covenant, Jesus Christ(The Law and the Lawgiver rolled up in one) is instead between God and individual man. The first being the Law in the Kingdom of Israel, whereas the second is the Law in the Kingdom of Heaven.

So my question is this. Where in Jesus Christ own teachings(The Truth) does Christ inform us that we are indeed justified by Grace?

Probably Luke 18:9-14.

 

[Kobo]

Probably Luke 18:9-14.

From the parable, we are taught that the "haughty" pharisee was not justified because of his disobedience, but the other who humbled himself before God in obedience to God's own commandment went away justified.

So my question to you now is where is "grace" mentioned in that instance?

The Pharisee thought that he was obedient and was even proud of his own obedience.

The publican knew that he had been disobedient and cast himself on the mercy of the Lord; and went away justified.

He was saved by grace.

Since the publican and the Pharisee in this parable were judged according to Old Covenant laws here, you are implying that the same grace that supposedly justifies those of the New Covenant(Jesus Christ) also justifies those of the Old Covenant(YHWH)?
