Romans features a language of justification more than any other New Testament book. It appears eight times in five verses.
Read Romans 3:21–5:21.
- In no more than one or two sentences, summarize the core idea of Paul’s message on justification in Romans.
- According to these passages, what is God trying to do? What does He want for us? What does He want from us?
- Why doesn’t God give up on humanity in their sin?
- What has God done in Christ to resolve the problem of sin and estrangement from Him?
- Does God justify us in Christ and the Spirit out of love and relational faithfulness, or from a need to serve a legal obligation?
