The Righteousness of God Romans 8:26-30 Christ Church Kingwood May 30, 2026 Preacher: Patrick Wimberly

Send us Fan MailRomans 1:16-17 is one of the clearest summaries of Christianity's core claim, and we take it slow on purpose. The gospel isn't a motivational message or a list of religious steps. We argue from Paul's words that it is the power of God unto salvation precisely because something is unveiled inside it: the righteousness of God. We talk about what “not ashamed of the gospel” looks like in real life, then move into the heart of the passage. “The righteousness of God” isn't human morality upgraded or spiritual effort polished up. It is a righteousness that originates with God, is established by God, and is granted to sinners who believe. That pushes back on every form of self-righteousness, whether it shows up as moral improvement, religious ceremony, baptismal confidence, or the quiet belief that our obedience completes what Jesus started. Along the way we connect the dots to big theological themes listeners search for all the time: justification by faith, salvation by grace, Christ alone, assurance, and why human works cannot satisfy divine justice. We also focus on the word “revealed” and why saving righteousness is not discovered by philosophy or speculation, but disclosed by God in the gospel. If you've ever wondered what it really means that “the just shall live by faith,” press play, share this with someone who wrestles with earning God's approval, and subscribe, rate, and review so more people can find the message of Romans 1:16-17.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us Fan MailThe hardest part of grace is not understanding it. It's accepting that we don't get to help. We sit with Romans 1:17 and the line that wrecks human pride: God reveals his righteousness “from faith to faith,” and he justifies the ungodly. That means salvation is not God meeting us halfway after we've become respectable. It's God doing what we cannot do, start to finish, without owing us anything.We talk plainly about the instinct inside all of us to minimize sin or to try to overcome it with personal merit. Then we name the common “add-ons” people attach to the gospel of Christ: circumcision, water baptism, the Mass, appeals to Mary or the saints, and any system that turns faith into a checklist. The moment you add a requirement to the finished work of Jesus, the message stops being the gospel that saves, because it shifts glory away from Christ and back onto us.Along the way, our panel connects Paul's argument to Habakkuk 2:4, explains why true faith is a supernatural revelation by the Holy Spirit, and clarifies what baptism is for and what it is not. We use the thief on the cross and Abraham's circumcision as practical anchors: signs and obedience matter, but they follow salvation rather than create it.If this helped you think more clearly about justification by faith, grace alone, and the righteousness of God, subscribe, share this with a friend who's sorting through “faith plus something,” and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever explained your salvation with a sentence that starts with “I,” this conversation will challenge you in the best way. We dig into a deceptively simple question: does God save because of what we do, or because of what Christ has already done? Using Abraham as our starting point, we talk about imputed righteousness, how God declares the righteous, and why covenant signs never deserve the credit that belongs to Jesus alone. We also tackle water baptism head-on. We affirm baptism as meaningful obedience and a public marker of allegiance to Christ, then draw a bright line between a sign and a Savior. One of the sharpest moments comes as we ask: if water baptism saves, how do you crucify water on a cross, bury it, and watch it rise three days later? That isn't a cheap slogan, it's a reality check that brings us back to the center of the gospel: Jesus shed His blood, Jesus died, and Jesus rose in victory over sin and death. From there we camp out in Romans 1:16-17 and the phrase “from faith to faith,” unpacking why the gospel never transitions into “from faith to works” as the basis of justification. We talk about regeneration, the gift of faith, and how faith excludes boasting because it receives rather than achieves. We even pause to speak tenderly to real struggles like anger and unforgiveness, reminding each other that grace is not theoretical, it's where Christians actually live.

Send us Fan MailRomans 1:16-17 isn't a warm-up verse for us, it's the doorway into everything Paul is about to build. We slow down and ask the question underneath the question: how is anyone made right with God? The answer is both shocking and relieving. Justification is a legal declaration from God that we are righteous in Christ, and that verdict is received by faith, not earned by effort, discipline, or religious “bartering.” We talk plainly about why deeds can't produce righteousness, why adding anything to salvation turns grace into a wage, and why the gospel stays simple even when we try to complicate it. We also clear up a common confusion: justification and sanctification are not the same thing. Justification is God's once-for-all act that makes us right with him, while sanctification is God's ongoing work in us that produces real change and real fruit. Mixing those two either makes people proud or makes them panic, and neither one is the good news. We also address the reality that believers still wrestle with sin in this life, which is exactly why Scripture speaks of dying daily. Our assurance doesn't come from pretending we're perfect, it comes from trusting the righteousness God has provided in Jesus Christ. Along the way we connect Romans 1 to Romans 9, talk about Christ as the stumbling stone, and keep circling back to the heartbeat line: the just shall live by faith. If this strengthened you, subscribe, share it with a friend who feels stuck in performance, and leave a review so more people can find this teaching.

The Anger of Man Does Not Produce the Righteousness of God - May 10, 2026 Nathan Brewer

It is easy to look at the sins of Romans 1 and think that we are better because we acknowledge that sin is bad, but the truth is that we do not live up to our own standards of morality. Both the law-oriented Jew and the moralist gentile are found in wanting compared to the righteousness of God. We need a perfect Savior!

The Righteousness of God Romans 6:15-7:6 Christ Church Kingwood May 3, 2026 Preacher: Matt Lobasso

Here in chapter 3, we get to the crux, or turning point, of the gospel message. Paul has articulated the fullness of man's depravity, both Jews and Gentiles alike, and their inability to attain righteousness for themselves. All had sinned, and none could save themselves. But now the righteousness of God, promised and foreshadowed from the Old Testament, has been revealed through the person of Jesus Christ. This righteousness may now be received through faith apart from the law of works. This is the glory and hope of the gospel message.

A sermon by Brad Snyder based on 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 preached on May 3rd as part of our sermon series called "Glorious Weakness: Discovering Our Transformed Life In Christ."

My devotional for today addresses the importance of having the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus as the very basis of our forgiveness and right standing with God. The necessity of having the righteousness of God in order to be a child of God is unfortunately oftentimes overlooked when sharing the gospel with others. Most people believe that salvation is a matter of “believing” in Jesus, but granted on the basis of them doing good works or observing religious rituals or sacraments. But The Word of God says. Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.Note beloved that the gospel that grants salvation is not based upon our good works, but upon faith in the righteousness of God. The righteousness of God is Someone, not something. Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe. Note once again that it is not our good works that gets us to heaven, but faith in the righteousness of God, which is in Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul puts it this way in Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.Sin separates man from God. Even the best works that we can do cannot pay that debt of sin. Only the perfect, sinless sacrifice of Jesus Christ can do that. Scripture is equally clear that our righteousness before God is a filth rag (Isa 64:6). Born in Adam, there are none righteous before God, no not one (Rom 3:10). What you and I need to be made right with God is the only righteousness that He accepts which is Christ Himself. 2 Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.Repent and call out to Jesus Christ and receive Gods righteousness. Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Paul's Epistle to the Romans is a profound work of systematic theology designed to explain how the gospel brings glory to God by revealing His righteousness. Pastor Daniel walks us through Romans 1 which explains how a people who suppress the truth of God heap up sin. Increase in homosexuality, murder, hatred of God, and all kinds of sin increase as unrighteousness people worship the creation rather than the Creator.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Reality is too heavy for most people to carry. So they borrow illusions, soft dreams, sweet lies, and call it happiness.”~Franz Kafka (1883-1924), Jewish Czech writer of German literature, known for his works marked by surreal and bizarre storylines “The Holy Scriptures were not given to us that we should enclose them in books, but that we should engrave them upon our hearts.”~John Chrysostom (died 407 AD), church leader in ancient Constantinople The Letter to the Romans “is the principal and most excellent part of the New Testament. It is the light and way into the whole Scripture. No man can read it too often or study too well.”~William Tyndale (c.1494-1536), scholar and linguist, considered the father of the English Bible “This epistle is really the chief part of the New Testament and the very purest gospel and is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word by heart, but occupy himself with it every day as the daily bread of the soul. It can never be read or pondered too much.”~Martin Luther (1483-1546), German reformer, in his commentary on Romans “Because faith alone justifies… publicans and prostitutes will be first in the kingdom of heaven”~Hilary of Poitiers (c.310-c.367), Gallic-Roman church leader “God justifies the believer—not because of the worthiness of his belief, but because of his [Christ's] worthiness who is believed.”~Richard Hooker (1554-1600) in his Ecclesiastical Polity (1593) “Of whatever virtue you may declare that the ancient righteous people were possessed, nothing saved them but the belief in the Mediator who shed his blood for the remission of their sins.”~Augustine (354-430), North African theologian in Against Two Letters of the Pelagians “God's righteousness compels him...to have to judge the guilty. But then he offers forgiveness and says ‘I will not judge you according to your works.' So...he sends his Son...so that now when he calls you his own...he has not compromised his righteousness.”~Jackie Hill Perry, poet, writer, and hip-hop artistSERMON PASSAGE Romans 1:16-17 & 3:21-26 (Dr. Robert Gagnon's translation of the original Greek)Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for effecting salvation to everyone who is believing it, both to the Jew first and to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is being revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written, “And the righteous one from faith will live.” Romans 3:21-26 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been manifested, though it is attested by the law and the prophets; that is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction, for all sinned and are lacking in the glory of God, with the result that they are being justified as a gift by his grace through the redemption that is available in Christ Jesus, whom God set before himself as an amends-making offering by means of his blood, through that faith, for an indicator of his righteousness, because of the letting go of the sins that occurred previously in the time of God's holding back his wrath, with a view toward that indicator of his righteousness in the ‘now' time, in order that he himself might be righteous and justifier of the person whose identity is derived from faith in Jesus.

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Romans 3:27–28 teaches that because salvation is entirely by God's grace through faith in Christ, all human boasting is excluded. We contribute nothing that earns our salvation since it is a gift of God, and the faith that receives this gift produces a changed life that bears fruit.

Expositional style teaching of Romans CH 3:21-22 primarily looking into how believers are justified by the imputation of God's righteousness. In this teaching, we will also examine the difference between imputed righteousness over infused righteousness that often has negative impacts in our walk as Christians. Also, we will detail out what it means to be righteous in the sight of God, as well, as discuss the problems associated with the non-biblical doctrine of saving faith, over having faith alone in Christ alone for the saving righteousness of God. Taught by Assistant Pastor Mac at Calvary Kaneohe Hawaii.
