October 29 Sermon: The Righteousness of God

Edgerton First Reformed: An Evangelical Presbyterian Church

As we observe Reformation Sunday we reflect on the Romans 3:19-28. This passage emphasizes the righteousness of God in contrast to human works. The law shows our inability to attain righteousness. Faith in Jesus grants righteousness as a gift. Our response is gratitude, recognizing God's grace.

Consider these questions as you listen to this week's message:

1. What are the three "Rs" used by Pastor Mark to summarize this passage?

2. What role does the concept of the "rigor of the law" play in the passage, and how does it relate to the idea of obtaining righteousness through faith in Jesus?

3. How does the passage encourage a response of humility and gratitude in light of the understanding that righteousness is a gift from God, not something earned through human works?
