Summary In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley unpacks Romans 4. This chapter centers on Abraham, the patriarch of Israel, to illustrate Paul's central argument: justification comes by faith alone, not by works or adherence to the law. Paul draws from Genesis 15:6, where Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” The Jewish audience highly esteemed Abraham's obedience, but Paul reframes their understanding—Abraham's righteousness was not earned; it was imputed by God's grace. This chapter unpacks the Abrahamic covenant and demonstrates how God's promises extend beyond Israel to bless all nations.  Through Abraham's example, Paul builds a defense for justification by faith, culminating in the Reformers' essential word: alone. Michael Easley reminds us that nothing we do—no obedience, no good works—can earn God's favor. Likewise, our sins are no longer credited to us but placed on Christ, whose righteousness is given to us. The miracle of forgiveness should never grow stale; it transforms how we see ourselves and how God sees us—in Christ, righteous and redeemed. Romans 4 calls us to rest in this grace, boasting not in ourselves, but in God's provision through Jesus Christ. Takeaways: Romans 4 uses Abraham's life to explain justification by faith alone. Abraham's righteousness was imputed, not earned by obedience or works. The Abrahamic covenant points to God's plan to bless all nations through Christ. Paul contrasts Jewish views of merit with God's grace credited through faith. Our sins are not counted against us; Christ's righteousness is credited to us. Forgiveness is a miracle we must never take for granted. To read the book of Romans, click here. Click here for other Michael Easley Sermons.

Romans 4:9-16 — Was Abraham, a prominent figure in the Old Testament, justified by works? Paul says no; he was justified by faith alone. Just as a teacher lectures and then makes time for possible questions, Paul presents his case on the true gospel and a message on salvation and then answers potential questions that might arise. The Jews may have suggested that since Abraham was not justified by works, it was because he was circumcised. Paul again says no. Abraham was the father to all, both circumcised and uncircumcised, because Scripture shows that he was justified before he was circumcised. In the sermon “Faith Alone” on Romans 4:9–16, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones shows that Paul warns against those who merely held to their own circumcision as a means of salvation. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains how the Jews had not properly understood why the Lord gave them the sign of circumcision and how Paul refutes their wrong beliefs. When Abraham was credited as righteous, it is the first time in Scripture that salvation by faith alone was defined. The Lord promised that because of Abraham's faithfulness, his seed would produce the Son of God.

Paul explains that righteousness comes by faith—not by works, status, or effort. This isn't new news; it's the good news rooted in the Old Testament and fulfilled in Christ. You don't earn salvation. You receive it by trusting Jesus.

This week Pastor Scott continues through Romans 13:11-14.

The Bible can seem overwhelming like a whole lot of information and rules that seem to contradict each other, but it all boils down to understanding that almighty God wants an intimate relationship with the creatures He created and those lost and sinful creatures - you and me.

Join us today as we discuss God's plan to save us by His grace through our faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by our good deeds, or being nice, or being religious. Are you on the right path to make it to heaven?

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our understanding of salvation. The central theme revolves around Acts 15, where early church leaders grappled with the question: how are we truly saved? This pivotal moment in church history reminds us that salvation comes through faith in Christ alone, not by following religious laws or traditions. We're encouraged to reflect on our own beliefs - are we relying on our good works, our family's faith, or solely on Jesus? The speaker uses the analogy of X-rays to illustrate how the law functions: it reveals our spiritual brokenness but cannot heal us. Only Jesus, our Great Physician, can provide the cure. This message urges us to embrace the simplicity and power of the gospel, reminding us that our response to God's grace should be gratitude and a life devoted to Him.

What if the overwhelming sense of blessing you once felt has disappeared? Through Paul's urgent plea to the Galatians, we discover how legalism and performance-based faith can rob us of the joy that should define every believer's life. Why do some people attend church week after week without experiencing that deep-seated confidence that "everything's going to be okay"? The answer lies in understanding God's new covenant—one where He secured both sides of the agreement, leaving us only to believe. Can you truly live with unshakeable peace regardless of your circumstances, job situation, or even personal failures? This exploration of what it means to be "declared righteous by faith" reveals how our pursuit of personal righteousness often becomes the very barrier preventing us from accessing the freedom and blessing that's already ours.

The most important question in the world is the question of how people get saved. The question of exactly how it is that sinful humans can become right with a holy God. On this question hangs the eternal destiny of every person. In this passage in Ephesians 2:8-9, the Apostle Paul lays out some of the most foundational truths of the gospel message that set Christianity apart from every other religion and belief system in the world. In every other religion and every false gospel man is saved by something that is in himself, but the true gospel is different. The true gospel is a gospel of salvation by grace through faith, which, "is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." The beautiful outcome of the true gospel message, which once again sets it apart from everything else, is that God has orchestrated in such a way that "no one may boast." That is, instead of salvation that is accomplished through human effort and and human merit, and that would result in the praise of humanity, the true Gospel brings a salvation that is entirely by the grace of God and so completely abounds for His glory. True salvation is accomplished by the grace of God alone and for the glory of God alone!This message was originally preached by Jackson Hankey at River City Church on Thursday, 6/5/2025.
