FAMILY THEME: JUSTIFICATION

NO ROOM TO BOAST

Romans 4
Salvation by faith was always God's plan.

1.  Justification is an Act of God, Not a Work of Man 

     (Romans 4:1-8)

     Paul showed that this whole "salvation by faith"

     concept had roots going back before David

     and Moses.

 
2.  Justification is Available to All People

     (Romans 4:9-17) 

     What set Abraham apart was his faith, believing

     that God would come through on His promises.

 
3.  Justification Comes by Faith

     (Romans 4:18-25)

     Abraham believed God even when his situation

     seemed hopeless.
