This Week | March 15 – 21, 2024

March 17 | Romans – Grasping The Gospel, Romans 3:21-26, Part 9: The Heart of the Bible – Mark Pospisil

Synopsis: The heart of the Bible is found in Romans 3:21-26. It shows how all of God’s plan for salvation is found exclusively and ultimately in what Jesus has done. It shows the heart of God and how He provided redemption for us. It shows God’s patience and justice. It also shows that God is our justifier. He is the One that provides forgiveness for our sins and gives us new life. This week’s passage is one of the most deep and dense portions of Scriptures in the whole Bible. It gives us great hope, joy, and peace. It motivates us to follow God’s calling for our lives when we understand how amazing His grace is.

Fighter Verse: Romans 3:23-24 – “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”
