This Week | March 22 – 28, 2024

March 24 | Romans – Grasping The Gospel, Romans 3:27-31, Part 10: The Right Response to Grace – Mark Pospisil

Synopsis:What is our response to the amazing grace of God? How does our faith work out in the day by day moments of our lives? The end of Romans 3 shows us what that looks like. We have nothing to boast about before God because we did not contribute anything. We are simply benefactors of grace. This produces humility and gratitude. God did not save us so that we can walk away from Him either. He saves and sanctifies (changes) us. This means that a right response to the Lord involves obedience. Faith does not overthrow God’s good rules and laws, it actually allows us to walk in them with joy.

Fighter Verse: Jeremiah 9:23-24 – Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”
