The moment one opens this letter holding onto the gospel that Jesus had the sins of the world transferred to Him by receiving baptism from John, completely received the judgment of those sins on the cross, and resurrected, it finally begins to be seen why Paul introduced himself as a “debtor to the gospel” and so boldly declared, “I am not ashamed of the gospel.” The Apostle Paul, after revealing the sins of the Gentiles and the hypocrisy of religious people in turn, proclaims the righteousness of God manifested apart from the law. That righteousness is not a righteousness built up by human moral effort, but the righteousness completed by the baptism Jesus received from John, the blood of the cross, and the resurrection. The righteousness Abraham received when he was uncircumcised is the evidence of it, and the “blessing of not imputing sin” that David sang of is the result of it. A person who believes this gospel knows that he is one who has already been justified. Only upon that conviction does peace with God reside, and the path opens where even tribulation leads to perseverance, character, and hope. This mystery—that a life which was placed under the reign of death over sin through one man, Adam, has received the removal of sins through one person, Jesus Christ, and has been transferred under the reign of righteousness—takes its place within us. Salvation has already been completed at once. Now, what remains is the matter of receiving that gospel with the heart and living as a righteous person.

He was a person who learned under the door of Gamaliel, the greatest scholar of the time, was a Pharisee without blemish by the law, and was a person who even possessed Roman citizenship.

In this final paragraph describing the sins of humanity, the Apostle Paul points out the root of all those sins in one sentence. “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge” (Romans 1:28). We must look deeply into this. Where is the starting point of sin? It is not in some bad behavior. It lies in this one thing: the heart that hates to retain God in the heart.Think about it. The sin of action does not come first and then the heart becomes bad. That attitude of the heart rejecting God comes first, and from there all sins flow out like a river. Therefore, it says that God gave that heart over as it is. “God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting” (Romans 1:28). Once a mind is lost, it cannot do fitting things and very naturally does things that are not fitting. Why is that? Because the eyes of discernment have become blind.

Does the “righteousness of God” in Romans 1:17 refer to the truth revealed in the gospel of the water and the Spirit?
The “righteousness of God” proclaimed by the Apostle Paul is not an abstract concept or moral ideal in a person’s head, but the salvation accomplished in actual history through the baptism Jesus Christ received from John the Baptist, the blood of the cross, and the resurrection; that is, the gospel of the water and the Spirit itself.

]]> full 9 false [Question] 1. Does the “righteousness of God” in Romans 1:17 refer to the truth revealed in the gospel of the water and the Spirit?
The “righteousness of God” proclaimed by the Apostle Paul is not an abstract concept or moral ideal in a person’s head, but the salvation accomplished in actual history through the baptism Jesus Christ received from John the Baptist, the blood of the cross, and the resurrection; that is, the gospel of the water and the Spirit itself.

This chapter sequentially reveals the hypocrisy of the religious person who judges others, the stubbornness that despises God’s goodness, God’s justice that repays according to what has been done, the judgment according to the presence or absence of the law, the accusation and excuse of the conscience, the contradiction between teaching and doing, and the powerlessness of circumcision carved in the flesh. And finally, it reaches the conclusion that “only the one who has received circumcision in the heart is a true Jew.”
This chapter is a stepping stone for the gospel of receiving justification by faith alone that will be presented next, and makes it clear that only the person who accepts the gospel of the water and the Spirit with the heart can stand before God’s righteous judgment.

]]> full 26 false Abraham’s Faith, the Forefather of Faith
Today, we will look at the Word of Romans 4:18 to 24 together.Abraham, at the age of 75, left Ur of the Chaldeans, that is, his hometown, relatives, and father’s house, and set out on a journey following the guidance of God. One day, God appeared to him and told him to look at the stars in the sky, and promised that He would make his descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and Abraham believed that Word exactly as it was. Because he hoped and believed against hope, he soon became the forefather of faith. Because he did not doubt God’s promise, he gained a child, and finally became the forefather of a nation.

How does the Bible say Abraham obtained justification?
The question of how Abraham obtained justification is also the answer to how we receive justification today. Verses 1–3 of the text clearly reveal that way in one sentence. The answer is not the deeds of the law, but the faith that believes the word of God, and more accurately, the faith that accepts exactly what God has done for us.

The Apostle Paul has disclosed in detail the fact that all people are under sin from Romans chapter 1. He clearly revealed that whether Jew or Greek, whether a person who has the law or a person who does not have it, all are sinners without a single exception.
And going to Romans chapter 3, he declares that now the righteousness of God has appeared apart from the law. In chapter 4, taking Abraham as an example, he clearly reveals the fact that a person becomes righteous not by deeds but by the faith that believes in the word of God. After binding all these stories into one, Paul is saying, “Therefore.”

The word of Romans 5:12 contains a very simple yet deep meaning. “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12).Sin entered this world through one person. It is precisely because Adam and Eve were created by God but disobeyed God’s command that sin came to enter this world. That sin is passed down to the child through the parents, and passed down to that child again, and connected like this, it came to be passed down even to you and me today. Therefore, through one person sin entered the world, and we all became sinners.

Romans 5:1-2 declares, “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” What do the three blessings enjoyed by those justified by faith—namely, peace, introduction into grace, and exulting in hope of God’s glory—mean respectively?
Romans 5:1-2 is a precious text where the Apostle Paul gathered in one place the three blessings that immediately follow the person who has received justification, which he showed from chapters 1 to 4.
