- What you can’t earn through deeds God will give you by grace through faith in Jesus.
This magnificent truth is the only reason any person can be justified in the sight of God. The truth is, God has always justified sinners (acquitted their sin and declare righteous) as a gift of grace through faith. Any person who puts their complete faith in Jesus Christ, will be declared righteous by God Himself.
In Romans 4:1-25 the Apostle Paul explains that from the beginning God has justified sinners by grace through faith. This is evidenced in the life of Abraham, who believed God would do the impossible. We are required to believe that God did do the impossible by sending His Son into the world to live a sinless life, die a sacrificial death for our sins, and then was raised from the dead by the power of God.
This is a sermon from Romans 4:1-25, and below you will find the video recording, text of Scripture, and a sermon outline to help you along as you watch. I hope this study tool helps you grow in your love for the Lord Jesus and in your obedience to Him.

Sermon Title: “Three Principles of Justification”
Text: Romans 4:1-25
(1)What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? (2)For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. (3)For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” (4)Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. (5)And to the one who does not work but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, (6)just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
(7)“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
and whose sins are covered;
(8)blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.”
(9)Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. (10)How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised. (11)He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well, (12)and to make him the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
(13)For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be the heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith. (14)For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. (15)For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression.
(16)That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring-not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, (17)as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”-in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. (18)In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.” (19)He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. (20)No unbelief made him waiver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, (21)fully convinced that God was able to do what He had promised. (22)That is why faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” (23)But the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, (24)but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in Him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, (25)who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.”

Thank you for your inspiring teaching on this chapter 4 in the book of Romans. When I accepted Jesus as my Saviour, the Spirit of God led me to start my growth journey with the book of Romans. Looking back, I needed that justification foundation in my new faith. Your message is the most comprehensive and inspiring I have heard from any teacher or preacher.
You are very welcome! May the Lord Jesus bless you, friend!
Awesome sermon!
Thank you for sharing 🙏
May the Lord Jesus bless you, friend!
Heavenly Father, we give You thanks for all that You have given us. May we use Your gifts today in Your service. Make us mindful that everything happens for a reason. We may not understand it, or even like it, but give us Your grace to endure it. We pray all this in the precious name of Jesus, ear, O heaven, and I will speak; let the earth hear the words of my mouth. My teaching is the falling rain, My words are the dew that falls, The falling rain on soft grass, Sweet rain on the greens.
Deuteronomy 32:1-2 You were already clean by the words I spoke to you.
John 15:3 Water of life Thank you,holy Father God, who is the spring of water and the source of all things. Looking at the text, we can see that the water spoken of in the Bible is, after all, the word of God. Jesus said that water cleanses our body and dirty things, and because it has the same characteristics as life that cannot live without water, believers cannot live without the word of God, and this word will purify our hearts. A fountain of washing will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Zechariah 13:1 The spring water here means the shepherd who has the Word and the temple where God resides.hossana hossana hossana hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah Amen Amen Amen 🙏🙏🙏
You can actually use matthew 11:25-30 to go along with this because we all are weary and heavy laden as well !! As well as 1 john 5:2-4 phil 2:6-8 and the climax mark 10:45.
Baptism is adoption receiving the holy spirit. Its recruitment to gods family in heaven.
i guess it's kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
What about the thief on the cross ?
Jesus didn't die yet the thief had faith
@@danielkim9909 Yes, the thief had faith but was not baptized/immersed in water...Saved is by faith alone in Christ not what we do or don't - Romans 4:5....yet the the thief did profess his belief in Christ - Romans 10 9-10....do we consider a verbal confession of faith as a 'work' ?
Faith alone is correct
