Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Romans 4:23–25 reminds us that the faith God counts as righteousness is available to all who trust in Him. Saving faith believes that Jesus died for our sins and rose again, proving that His work fully secured our justification.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the most “obvious” proof you've been taught to trust is the very thing Paul is trying to remove from the foundation? We open Romans 4 with David's picture of blessedness: sins forgiven, sins covered, sin not counted. Then we follow Paul's tight logic that justification by faith has two sides that stand or fall together: God does not impute our sin, and God imputes righteousness, the righteousness of Christ, to our account.From there, we sit with Paul's uncomfortable question: does this blessing belong only to the circumcised, or also to the uncircumcised? Abraham becomes the centerpiece, not as a moral hero, but as a timeline. Faith is reckoned to him for righteousness before he ever receives circumcision, which means the ground of salvation cannot be an outward badge. We connect that to modern debates about baptism, church rituals, and any practice that tries to function as a requirement for being made right with God.We also tackle the moral law, the Ten Commandments, and what Jesus exposes about the inward demands of God's law. That opens into Adam's fall, federal headship, and why the “you can lose your salvation” framework often treats salvation like a reset back to Adam's probation instead of a finished gift. Finally, we land on Paul's language of sign and seal and warn against trusting aisle-walking, repeated prayers, tongues, or anything else as the basis of assurance.If this helped you think clearly about justification by faith, imputed righteousness, and Romans 4, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review.

Send us Fan MailFaith is either a gift that rests on Christ or it becomes another work we brag about. We open Romans 4 and press on Paul's argument that Abraham is justified by faith before circumcision, before the Mosaic law, and even before the labels “Jew” and “Gentile” make sense. That timeline is not trivia. It is Paul's demolition of every salvation story built on heritage, rituals, moral scorecards, or “advantages” that people think put them ahead with God. We also address the question that always shows up: “So do you disagree with James?” We lay James 2 alongside Romans 4 and explain why they are speaking to different problems. James confronts dead profession that never produces obedience, while Paul destroys the idea that works can earn righteousness. The result is a clear, practical framework: good works matter, but they flow from justification, they do not purchase it. From there we talk covenant signs like circumcision and baptism, why the sign is not the thing itself, and why an outward act without an inward change of heart is empty. We keep circling back to the core comfort of the gospel: God credits the righteousness of Jesus Christ to believers by faith, and Christ is the one who holds us fast. If you want a Romans 4 breakdown that is both theological and direct, this one will challenge you and steady you. Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who's stuck in works-righteousness, and leave a review if the conversation helped.

Send us Fan MailIf you have ever felt the pressure to prove you are saved by stacking up religious wins, this conversation cuts through the noise fast. We challenge the whole idea of Torah keeping as a path to righteousness with one blunt question: who actually kept the law perfectly besides Christ? From James 2:10 to the failures of even the most celebrated figures in Scripture, we show why the law can diagnose sin but cannot cure it.We then widen the lens and follow the Bible's internal logic across Romans, Galatians, Deuteronomy, Jeremiah, and John. The thread is consistent: God's promise to Abraham rests on faith, not flesh, and the sign God keeps pointing to is heart change, not external scoreboards. Circumcision of the heart is not a New Testament invention, it is a long-standing promise of God's own action, which is why the new covenant feels like rest instead of an “if and then” contract.The discussion turns practical when we talk about “the works of Abraham.” We argue those works are not a checklist, but living faith that moves, speaks, and continues. That helps answer a real fear many believers carry: “Can I lose salvation if I do not keep doing enough?” We explain why mixing grace with law creates a hybrid gospel that empties faith of its meaning and subtly claims Christ's obedience needs our help.If this brought clarity or conviction, subscribe, share it with a friend who is stuck in performance-based religion, and leave a review with the biggest question you still have about faith, works, and assurance.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us Fan MailIf someone tells you, “Jesus saves you, but you still have to add this,” what are they really saying about the cross? We work through Paul's logic in Romans and push on a theme that hits every generation: the law can expose sin, but it cannot rescue sinners. When you turn commandments into a pathway to justification, the end result is not confidence and joy, but wrath, self-focus, and a faith that quietly depends on your performance.We talk about why “where no law is, there is no transgression” doesn't erase guilt, how “faith plus the law” becomes an oxymoron, and why adding requirements like circumcision, strict Torah observance, or making water baptism the final step of salvation changes the gospel itself. The difference matters because grace is designed to make the promise sure. Faith receives what grace gives, and the security of salvation rests on God's power and faithfulness, not on our ability to keep ourselves cleaned up.From Abraham as the father of all who believe to the claim that true Jewishness is inward, we keep circling back to the God Abraham trusted: the one who raises the dead and calls things that are not as though they were. Then we zoom out to Christian apologetics. We explain what it means to defend the faith with “as it is written,” why every believer should be ready with an answer, and why the best way to detect counterfeit teaching is to handle the real Word of God so often that the fake stands out immediately.If you've felt pressure to earn what God calls a gift, this conversation is for you.

Send us Fan MailMost of us have limited hours and unlimited noise competing for our attention, so we get honest about a hard priority question: should Christians spend their time studying every other religion, or go all in on learning Scripture until we can actually explain the gospel with clarity? We argue for a Bible-first approach to Christian apologetics, not because we're afraid of other ideas, but because the Word of God is where the Holy Spirit teaches, forms conviction, and gives us the tools to recognize error. If you've ever felt unprepared to answer challenges from Mormonism, Catholicism, Jehovah's Witnesses, or internet “panel” debates, this is a grounded path forward.We also dig into what apologetics is supposed to be. It's more than refuting false doctrine; it's showing the reasonableness and coherence of Christianity as the Bible presents it. We point to Stephen's sermon in Acts 7 and Paul's relentless habit of returning to “it is written” as the blueprint for persuasive, Scripture-shaped reasoning. Along the way, we connect this to spiritual warfare and the Armor of God in Ephesians 6, because the real fight is not against flesh and blood, and our goal is never to crush people, but to speak truth faithfully and competently.Then we get painfully practical about why so many arguments spiral into anger: when we can't reason through what we believe, we compensate with volume. We talk about building real skill over time, learning to think like Romans reads, and letting the law drive us toward grace, imputed righteousness, and justification by faith alone. We close with the cost and the joy: deeper Bible study can bring isolation and persecution, but it also fuels bold evangelism and the kind of confidence that makes you want to tell everyone what you've found.If this conversation helps you think more clearly and speak more calmly, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Frank Lindley | June 17, 2026 Adult Bible Study | hillschurcharcadia.org

The Jews considered their forefather Abraham to be a paragon of virtue, a man with whom no fault could be found. Paul refutes this idea, saying that Abraham, like all other men, was a sinner saved by grace. It is not Abraham's works that justify him before a holy God, but his faith, for as it says in Scripture, “Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.” In other words, if God serves an accountant, then his books would wipe clean the debt that was owed and his account would credited with a foreign righteousness, that is, the righteousness of Christ. Circumcision does not justify him, because he was credited while still uncircumcised. Paul makes the case that this makes him the father of both circumcised (that is, Israel) and the uncircumcised (that is the Gentile) who have faith in Christ. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Abraham's faith grew as he came to know God more deeply throughout his life, learning that God cannot lie, remains perfectly faithful, and possesses the power to fulfill every promise He makes. The path to stronger faith is the same for us: fixing our eyes on God through His Word and His people, allowing our confidence in Him to grow as we remember who He is and what He has done.

As we continue our series in Romans, Greg helps us look at Abraham and how he believed and trusted God. We also see how David, despite his sin responded rightfully to it. Jesus has paid the debt for our sin and we are now made righteous!Join us again next week as we continue the series at 9:30am and 11:30am at UWL, and at 6:30pm at The Hub.Find out more at redeemerlondon.org

We've heard the call to "Go." Now it's time to discover what powers the mission. Over the next 12 weeks, we're diving into the book of Romans to uncover the deep mechanics of grace—not to boost our Bible knowledge, but to be moved by it. Because the mission isn't something we do to earn God's mercy; it's our response to mercy already given. Our prayer is that we would walk away seeing the Gospel for what it really is: not just the diving board into the Christian life, but the whole swimming pool. Come get fueled.

Keep hoping in the Lord, who can do all things.

At Bethany, We are God's People who are: Gathered! Connected! Sent!We want to connect with you through this Podcast! Leave us a comment! Tell us where you are at! Leave a Review to help our audience grow!--June 7, 2026 -- Pr. Kevin Kritzer -- "It's Absolutely Certain!" -- Romans 4:13-2513 So it was not by obeying the laws in Moses' Teachings that Abraham or his descendants received the promise that he would inherit the world. Rather, he received this promise through God's approval that comes by faith. 14 If those who obey Moses' Teachings are the heirs, then faith is useless and the promise is worthless. 15 The laws in Moses' Teachings bring about anger. But where those laws don't exist, they can't be broken. 16 Therefore, the promise is based on faith so that it can be a gift.[a] Consequently, the promise is guaranteed for every descendant, not only for those who are descendants by obeying Moses' Teachings but also for those who are descendants by believing as Abraham did. He is the father of all of us, 17 as Scripture says: “I have made you a father of many nations.” Abraham believed when he stood in the presence of the God who gives life to dead people and calls into existence things that don't even exist. 18 When there was nothing left to hope for, Abraham still hoped and believed. As a result, he became a father of many nations, as he had been told: “That is how many descendants you will have.” 19 Abraham didn't weaken. Through faith he regarded the facts: His body was already as good as dead now that he was about a hundred years old, and Sarah was unable to have children. 20 He didn't doubt God's promise out of a lack of faith. Instead, giving honor to God for the promise he became strong because of faith 21 and was absolutely confident that God would do what he promised. 22 That is why Abraham's faith was regarded as the basis of his approval by God. 23 But the words “his faith was regarded as the basis of his approval by God” were written not only for him 24 but also for us. Our faith will be regarded as the basis of our approval by God—each of us who believe in the one who brought Jesus, our Lord, back to life. 25 Jesus, our Lord, was handed over to death because of our failures and was brought back to life so that we could receive God's approval.http://www.bethanylutheran.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.facebook.com/Bethany.Long.Beach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/c/BethanyLutheranLongBeach

Hope Against Hope: Faith That Stares Down The Impossible

Listen as Pastor Stephen Daniel shares the powerful Word of God in this series "The Gospel That Changed Everything".

The post 2026 5 31 A Sure Salvation – Romans 4:16-17 appeared first on Galilee - Gorham, ME.

Blessed is the man...who believes!

Abraham is Paul's test case. Was he justified by works? No. Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness. Paul makes sure you notice the timeline: the faith came before circumcision, not after. Circumcision was a seal of a righteousness Abraham already had by faith. That matters because it means the promise belongs to everyone who shares Abraham's faith, Jew and Gentile alike. God justifies the ungodly.   The Rev. Joshua Heimbuck, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Ashland, OR, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Romans 4:1–25.  To learn more about Grace Lutheran, visit gracelutheranashland.org. Why does doing the right thing sometimes feel impossible? Why do feelings of guilt follow us even when we've been forgiven? These aren't new questions. St. Paul wrote his letter to the Romans for a church he had never visited, and yet he addressed the struggles every Christian knows firsthand: the weight of the law, the persistence of sin, the sufficiency of what God has done in Christ. Romans covers enormous ground. Paul moves from the universal problem of sin through justification by faith, the role of baptism, the war between flesh and spirit, God's faithfulness to Israel, and the shape of life together in the body of Christ. There's a reason the Reformation was born in this letter. Join us on Thy Strong Word as we open up Romans, weekdays at 11am or on-demand anytime, at KFUO.org.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light.

What does the Scripture say?

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace People naturally assume salvation works like Santa's list: if we're good enough, God will reward us, but Paul shows in Romans 4 that righteousness has never come through morality, law, or human effort. Instead, salvation is a gift of grace received through faith alone in Christ alone, giving believers the assurance that God's promise depends on His faithfulness, not their performance.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for May 23rd. On today's episode, Speaker A guides us through a thoughtful journey in the Scriptures, reading from 2 Chronicles 6-7, Psalm 135, and Romans 4. We'll witness Solomon's heartfelt prayer at the dedication of the temple, marvel at God's faithfulness celebrated in the Psalms, and reflect on Paul's powerful message about righteousness by faith. As always, Speaker A encourages us to embrace God's unconditional love, find strength in prayer, and share kindness in our daily lives. Join us as we open our hearts to encounter the God who is love and seek to walk one step at a time in the light of His presence. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Abraham was fully convinced of God's ability to do whatever he promised. He trusted that God loved him before and beyond anything he could have done for God. In other words, God's love comes to us first. His love is not conditioned on our belief. His love emerges from who he is, his character, his very being. It's not based on my character and who I am. The full import of God's unconditional love is seen in the life of our Lord Jesus, the one who has offered himself on behalf of the entire world, his life, his death, his resurrection, declare that we are loved by God. Abraham was convinced of God's unconditional love. But that conviction didn't happen overnight. It didn't just arrive all at once without reservation. No, Abraham's conviction was learned. He was convinced as he walked with God one step after another. And these steps led him into a deeper and deeper conviction that God is good and that his love for us is faithful even when we are unfaithful. God's love for us is not dependent on our performance. It's based and rooted in his very heart, in who he is. And who he is is seen perfectly in the face of Jesus. So let's do what Abraham did and grow in our conviction, one step at a time, one day at a time, opening our hearts to the reality of God's goodness. Perhaps daring to believe today more than you did yesterday, that God's love for you is unconditioned and it's rooted in his heart. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Romans 4 describes the connection between the faith of Abraham and the faith of all of God's people. Just as Abraham believed God and it was counted as righteousness, so it is with us. Adam Cawrse walks us through this critical doctrine.

The post 2026 5 17 Gospel Blessedness – Romans 4:9-12 appeared first on Galilee - Gorham, ME.

The Apostle Paul has laid out the heart of the gospel message, which is that we are justified before God not on the basis of our works, but on the basis of what Jesus has done. But how do we receive such righteousness? We receive Christ's righteousness by faith, and by faith alone. In this passage, Paul brings up the example of Abraham to show that God has always justified on the basis of faith alone. The outlook of such justifying faith is trusting God to do what we can't do for ourselves, and the outworking of such justifying faith is faithfully doing what God has called us to do. As such, we are invited to trust in Jesus for our justification and to faithfully follow after him.
