Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GraceWe tend to assume we're innocent before God, confident that our good works or moral efforts will tip the scales in our favor, but Paul shows that the law only exposes our failure to meet God's perfect standard. When every excuse is stripped away and every mouth is stopped, the only hope we have is not our own righteousness but the righteousness of Christ.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on November 23, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN
When everything looked hopeless, when humanity's track record proved we could never measure up, two small words changed everything: But now. In Romans 3:19–31, we see the dramatic turning point of the gospel. God's righteousness is no longer distant or hidden in commandments. It's revealed through His Son, Jesus Christ. This message lifts listeners from despair, showing that justification isn't earned through effort. It's received through faith.This sermon peels back the layers of what Paul calls “the righteousness of God apart from the law,” helping us see the beauty of salvation that doesn't depend on human accomplishment but divine accomplishment. It's a reminder that the cross didn't just change our standing before God. It changed everything about how we live and see ourselves in Christ.In this message, you will discover:· The stunning shift that happened in salvation history with the words “But now.”· What it truly means to have “righteousness apart from the law” and why that's good news.· How faith goes beyond belief into active trust that transforms.· The mistake of basing our justification on our sanctification.· The depth of what it means that Jesus is our propitiation. The payment that satisfies.· The life-changing implications of justification: a new identity, deep humility, genuine thankfulness, and bold confidence.Support our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving
"By Works of the Law No One Will Be Justified"
Season 4, Episode 7 | Chad and Truett reflect on spiritual disciplines and study Galatians 3:1–9, emphasizing that salvation and spiritual growth come through faith, not works. They highlight how Paul challenges the Galatians' reliance on Jewish customs for righteousness and encourage listeners to examine their own motives in practicing faith.

Neither Jew nor Gentile can attain righteousness through the Law, but only by faith in Jesus Christ who justifies the ungodly. Sermon Outline:I. Justification known by revelation (v. 15-16a).II. Justification confirmed by experience (v. 16b).III. Justification stated absolutely (v. 16c).
By Sanford Beattie - The Authorized Version records Paul using the phrase “under the law” several times in 3 of his letters. In one verse he says we are not under the law, but under grace. But what did he mean by this? Does it mean we don't have to keep the law? Perhaps he means we are not under the penalty of the law

By Mike Phelps in Ann Arbor, MI - October 5, 2024 - Paul's writings on God's grace are frequently misused and misunderstood to justify not keeping the 7th day Sabbath. A proper understanding of how grace and law fit into God's plan of salvation will help us to develop a deeper faith and better appreciation for how He works in our lives.
Romans 9:30-10:21 // Nathan MillerRomans 10 reveals the heart of God's plan for salvation. It's a message of radical inclusivity—anyone who believes in Jesus can join God's family, regardless of their heritage or past actions. Paul passionately argues that righteousness comes through faith alone, not by following rules or relying on ancestry.

2/11/2024 Galatians 2:16-21 Can the Works Of The Law Save Us? Intro: Ninety percent of the world today believes in life after death. But only a small percentage realize that we are all going to hell. Most believe we go into this eternal state of bliss and reward without ever knowing God or His Son Jesus Christ. After all they say…..life goes on because our life is an invisible force of nature. Man is naturally good. Religion is evil. I agree that religion is evil. But the Bible is crystal clear….we are all sinners in need of a savior. And without that savior we are all doomed to hell. We have that Savior Jesus Christ…..who saved us from the penalty of our sin. He saved us by the gift the grace of God. It's a gift to us because God loves us because man is made in His own image. He cares about us. God introduced Himself by choosing a people and then declaring His requirements for mankind. Since He is creator He has the right to and we have the need to know His requirements. So Paul tells us in the classic passage from Galatians the purpose of the Law and the weakness of the Law….

If we choose to get right with God by our works, we continue under a curse. Only through faith in Jesus can we be justified.
No Man's Gospel (Galatians 3:1-14) - Michael Collins
I have heard a teaching which stated that the term “works of the Law” actually refers to Rabbinical extra-Biblical commandments? Is there any substantiation for this?
Date: 10/1/23 Text: Romans 3:20-24a By: Elder Steven Morris Outline: I. We must reject any/all hopeless attempts to be self-justified by “the works of the law” [20, 23] A. God's law brings “the knowledge of sin” and it's just curse/condemnation, but it has no power to prevent us from sinning and “falling short of the glory of God”. (20b, 23) B. Thus, “by the deeds/works of the law no flesh will be justified in God's sight.” (20a) II. We must receive the sinner-justifying “righteousness of God” and be justified freely by His grace [21-22, 24a] A. God's grace reveals “the righteousness of God apart from the law”, and He/it gives the cure for sin's guilt (“to all”) and power (“on all”) to “all who believe” “in Jesus Christ” (21-22, 24) B. Thus, by “the righteousness of God” all who are believing are “justified freely by His grace” (24a)
What is the difference between the “work of the Lord” and the “works of the Law”?
Anyone who enters into Pauline theological studies today will easily encounter the fact that there are scholars and exegetes who think that the term “works of law” or ergōn nomou—appearing first in Galatians (2:16[3x]; 3:2, 5, 10), and then appearing again in Romans (3:20, 28)—actually does designate something other than “works/deeds/actions required by the Mosaic Law,” or at least something a bit more specific than just “observing the law” (NIV) in general. These proposals, though, have been met with a great deal of criticism, and even some hostility, by those of particular theological traditions. Alternatives to the customary meaning of “works of law” have been proposed more frequently, as New Testament theologians, over the past fifty years or so, have had greater access to ancient Jewish literature and resources, and this information has had to be considered in their exegesis.

What does the Bible teach about obedience? Is our obedience something we do in order to justify ourselves? What do we learn from Abraham about his faithfulness to God? As we continue through the book of Romans, Paul is slowly revealing to us that our works of obedience do not make us righteous before God. In Romans 4, he unpacks this by explaining that it was Abraham's faith in God and belief in His promises that justified him. So, how does this look for us today? Since we are on the other side of Jesus' life, death and resurrection, we are looking back at all of the promises that God has fulfilled. But, this doesn't change the fact that our faith in God and belief in His promises is also what justifies us. The difference for us is that we now know it is the righteousness of God in Christ that we can rest in as our justification. In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge walks us through the difference between obedience and legalism, as Paul explains in Romans 4:1-3 how our faith is counted to us as righteousness.
In his new book, theologian Matthew Thomas takes on the big question of what the Apostle Paul means when he talks about "Works of the Law" -- as opposed to Grace -- in terms of Justification, addressing a long-standing debate between biblical scholars and using second-century sources to adjudicate the question. The stakes of the faithful, and what it means to be a Christian for the first-century Jews who founded the religion, could not be higher, especially when St. Peter slid back into the observation of Mosaic custom. This is Matthew Thomas's third appearance on AGC: you can also hear him in episodes 02 and 03. The episode that we refer to with Fr. Greg Boyle is episode 17.

Do our "works of the law" and good deeds make us righteous? Where does our righteousness come from? How do we walk in the Spirit? What is the "different gospel" that Paul is referring to? I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. Galatians 1:6-7 How is a man justified? By following/obeying the "works of the law?" “We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. Galatians 2:15-16 Listen in as we dive into the book of Galatians!
The study is focused on the book of Galatians and what it teaches us regarding the works of the law vs walking in the Spirit. We are not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified (Gal 2:16). The law does not supersede the promise, the Spirit of God.Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcastYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845Please visit Our Father's Heart for more information and if you would like to support our efforts you can do so through Paypal, Cash App ($jbenjesus), or Venmo (@jbenjesus).
