The gospel declares that universal rejection of “God as God” warrants His righteous judgment. But it also explains that there is a way to be justified—declared by God to be “in the right” before Him.
In this message, Stuart explains the instrumental cause of justification. It happens not by human activity but by faith in God’s gracious action. Yes, we are “saved by grace through faith.”
Scripture: Romans 4:1-4:25

Commonalities such as this far outweigh differences.
… Paul now makes an obvious connection between “the righteousness of God is being revealed” (v. 17) and “the wrath of God is being revealed” (v. 18), and he goes on to explain that understanding the gospel requires understanding the wrath of God! Good news!?
