What does Romans 3:20 mean?
Romans 3:20 shows the “therefore” of condemnation,but Romans 8:1 gives the “therefore” of nocondemna-tion —a tremendous truth and the conclusion of amarvelous argument. (The words “who walk not …etc.” do not belong here according to the best manu-scripts. There are no conditions for us to meet.) Thebasis for this wonderful assurance is the phrase “inChrist Jesus.” In Adam, we were condemned. InChrist, there is no condemnation!The verse does not say “no mistakes” or “no fail-ures,” or even “no sins.” Christians do fail and makemistakes, and they do sin. Abraham lied about his wife;David committed adultery; Peter tried to kill a manwith his sword. To be sure, they suffered consequencesbecause of their sins, but they did not suffer condem-nation.
What is the book of logic in Romans?
Romans is a book of logic, it is a book of“therefores.” We have the “therefore” of condem-nation in Romans 3:20, justification in Romans5:1, no condemnation in Romans 8:1, and dedicationin Romans 12:1. In presenting his case, Paul hasproved that the whole world is guilty before God, andthat no one can be saved by religious deeds, such askeeping the law. He has explained that God’s way ofsalvation has always been “by grace, through faith”(Eph. 2:8–9), and he has used Abraham as his illustra-tion. If a reader of the letter stopped at this point, hewould know that he needed to and could be saved.But there is much more the sinner needs to knowabout justification by faith. Can he be sure that it willlast? How is it possible for God to save a sinner throughthe death of Christ on the cross? Romans 5 is Paul’sexplanation of the last two words in Romans 4: “ourjustification.” He explained two basic truths: the bless-ings of our justification (Rom. 5:1–11), and the basisfor our justification (Rom. 5:12–21).
Why did God include all in unbelief?
God has included “all in unbelief—Jews andGentiles—so that all might have the opportunity to besaved by grace. “There is no difference.” If God cansave Jews by His grace and mercy today, why can Henot save them in the future?
What is the fourth verse of the Bible?
This is the fourth “therefore” in the letter. Romans3:20 is the “therefore” of condemnation, declaring thatthe whole world is guilty before God. Romans 5:1 isthe “therefore” of justification, and Romans 8:1 the“therefore” of assurance. In Romans 12:1, we have the“therefore” of dedication, and it is this dedication thatis the basis for the other relationships that Paul dis-cussed in this section.
What is the Gospel of Paul?
When he was a Jewish rabbi, Paul was separated as aPharisee to the laws and traditions of the Jews. Butwhen he yielded to Christ, he was separated to thegospel and its ministry. Gospel means “the good news.”It is the message that Christ died for our sins, wasburied and rose again, and now is able to save all whotrust Him (1 Cor. 15:1–4). It is “the gospel of God”(Rom. 1:1) because it originates with God; it was notinvented by man. It is “the gospel of Christ” (Rom.1:16) because it centers in Christ, the Savior. Paul alsocalls it “the gospel of his Son” (Rom. 1:9), which indi-cates that Jesus Christ is God! In Romans 16:25–26,Paul called it “my gospel.” By this he meant the specialemphasis he gave in his ministry to the doctrine of thechurch and the place of the Gentiles in the plan ofGod.
Did Adam commit a series of sins?
Adam did not have to commit a series of sins. In oneact God tested Adam, and he failed. It is termed an“offense” and an act of “disobedience.” The wordoffensemeans “trespass—crossing over the line.” Godtold Adam how far he could go, and Adam decided togo beyond the appointed limit. “Of every tree of thegarden thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of theknowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: forin the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surelydie” (Gen. 2:16–17).
