Found Righteous
In this series, we consider the very heart of Paul’s letter to the Romans, where he describes the foundation upon which the entire Christian faith stands or falls: the doctrine of justification by faith alone. In Romans, Paul has already shown that every person falls short of God’s standard. But in Romans chapter 3, Paul presents the good news at the core of the gospel: that God offers His own righteousness as a gift through faith in Jesus Christ. Join Tom Pennington as he explains Romans 3:21–31 and that those who repent and believe in Jesus Christ are Found Righteous.
Found Righteous - Pt. 10
In Romans chapter 3, the apostle Paul explains that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ was not humanity’s idea, but God’s. Scripture reveals that it is the Triune God who is responsible for salvation: God the Father decreed salvation, God the Son accomplished salvation, and the Holy Spirit applied salvation.
Found Righteous - Pt. 11
Pastor Tom explains that our justification before God is entirely His work: planned in eternity, received by faith alone, given by grace alone, and accomplished through Christ alone. And at the very center of this great plan is the cross, where God publicly displayed His Son as a propitiation—meaning the full satisfaction and turning away of divine wrath.
Found Righteous - Pt. 12
How can a holy God continue to show mercy without compromising His justice? The answer is the death of Jesus Christ. At the cross, God vindicated His righteousness by fully executing His judgment against sin in His Son, so that He could remain perfectly just while justifying sinners who believe.
