Romans 3:27-31
\nFaith and Law<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, March 14th, 2023, let us, together in the grace of God, rejoice and reflect on the Word of God in Romans 3:27-31.<\/span><\/p>\n

27 Then where is the boasting? It was excluded. Through what law? Of works? No, but through a Law of faith.<\/span> <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

28 Then we conclude a man to be justified by faith without works of Law. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

29 Or is He the God of Jews only, and not also of the nations? Yes, of the nations also, <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

30 since it is one God who will justify circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

31 Then is the Law annulled through faith? Let it not be! But we establish Law.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

[Literal Translation of the Holy Bible]<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested Questions:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Whose boasting is mentioned in verse 27? Boasting about what?<\/span><\/p>\n

3. What does it mean God will justify circumcision by faith?<\/span><\/p>\n

4. What does it mean God will justify uncircumcision through faith?<\/span><\/p>\n

5. What is the difference between “by faith” and “through faith”?<\/span><\/p>\n

6. What does it mean to nullify the law? What does it mean to uphold the law?<\/span><\/p>\n

7. What does it mean for God’s people in the Church era to live under grace, not under the law of God?<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested Applications:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. How would you respond when someone says that the Ten Commandments and the laws of the Old Testament do not apply to God’s people in the New Testament era?<\/span><\/p>\n

2. How would you respond if someone says that God’s people only need to keep nine of the Ten Commandments, and that they do not need to keep the fourth commandment to keep the Seventh day, the Sabbath day holy?<\/span><\/p>\n

3. How would you respond when someone says that the Sabbath day, which is the Seventh day of the week, has been changed to the first day of the week, after Jesus Christ’s resurrection?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
