Scriptural Confirmations # 4
4. 2. The Son of God (Romans 1:3-4).
Called after Jesus Christ, Christians (Romans 1:6) through the faith of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:22).
Faith in Christ. Through Jesus Christ we have peace toward God, and to God we have access by faith into this grace, and we glory in the hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1-2).
By Jesus Christ were we reconciled to God (Romans 5:10,11).
As by one man sin entered into the world, so by the justice of one are we justified (Romans 5:12, 13, 15, 18-19).
There is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, in order that the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit (Romans 8:1-4). Christ is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:34).
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, hunger, death, angels, principalities, height, depth, etc. (Romans 8:35-39)?
From the fathers Christ is according to the flesh, who is over all; God blessed forever. Amen (Romans 9:5).
Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved (Romans 10:13).
We are one body in Christ; all are members having different gifts according to grace (Romans 12:5-6). The gifts which belong to different members are enumerated in a long series (verses 6, 13).
Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).
Whether we live, we live in the Lord; whether we die, we die in the Lord; therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died and rose and lived again that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living (Romans 14:8-9).
It is written, I live, saith the Lord, for every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God (Romans 14:11). Isaiah saith, there shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to rule over the nations; in Him shall the nations hope (Romans 15:12).
The Gospel of Christ (Romans 15:19-21).
Chosen and tried in the Lord, in Christ: to work and labor in the Lord (Romans 16:8-13).
Romans 3
1
Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
2
Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
3
For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
4
May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, "That you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment."
5
But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
6
May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
7
For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
8
Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, that good may come?" Those who say so are justly condemned.
9
What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.
10
As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.
11
There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
12
They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not, so much as one."
13
"Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit." "The poison of vipers is under their lips;"
14
"whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."
15
"Their feet are swift to shed blood.
16
Destruction and misery are in their ways.
17
The way of peace, they haven't known."
18
"There is no fear of God before their eyes."
19
Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
20
Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
21
But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
22
even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
23
for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
24
being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;
25
whom God set forth to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God's forbearance;
26
to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time; that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
27
Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
28
We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
29
Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn't he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
30
since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.
31
Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
