2 Justification by Works versus Justification by Faith Romans 3 4
3 Justification (Salvation) by Works versus Justification (Salvation) by Faith Romans 3 4
4 Why is this important? 1. One of the greatest differences in religious teaching concerning what to do to be saved from past sins surrounds this subject. 2. Some doctrines state that belief only is necessary for salvation. 3. Some confuse works in Romans 3-4 by which we are not justified with works in James 2:14-26 by which we are justified. 4. Confusion over quality & quantity of good versus bad done in one s life & how it balances in judgment. Remember, one (1) unforgiven sin separates us from God (James 2:10)

12 HELPFUL DEFINITIONS Paul used words in Romans & Galatians whose definitions need to be given in simple terms. Keep these in mind. Law A rule of conduct laid down by authority. Can be positive (require) or negative (prohibit). By its very nature it does not save. save. Works of law (Rom. & Gal.) Perfect obedience. ( Works, James 2:14-26) -- Active obedience. Sin Transgression of law, any Divine Law (I Jno.. 3:4). Justify (justification) To pronounce one just, or righteous, to declare one not guilty; a sentence of acquittal. Righteousness The character or quality of being absolutely right; guiltless. Faith Belief or confidence leading to and often including obedience (note ch.. 1:5; 16:26).
13 Romans 3 & 4 discuss the question: How can a man be right with God? Since the question involves God, and the God of all the earth must do right (Gen. 18:24), it must be a plan that upholds the righteousness, holiness, and justice of God. Therefore, the question is also: How can God be right(eous) when He says that the unrighteous (sinners) are righteous (justified)?
14 Romans 3 & 4 discuss the question: How can a Two Possibilities: 1. WORKS man be right with God? -- What kind? Works that put God in man s debt (Rom. 4:4). Perfect works: Explained Man has always kept God s law, has never made one mistake. --Gal. 3:10 commentary Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them. -- One who does all the law all the time! -- Since he lives his whole life without committing one sin, he works and is righteous. None has done this! If one had, he never sinned & is righteous!
15 Romans 3 & 4 discuss the question: How can a Two Possibilities: 2. FORGIVENESS man be right with God? One s sins are washed away when he hears & obeys the gospel (Acts 22:16). -- He is forgiven!
16 Romans 3 & 4 discuss the question: How can a man be right with God? Considered in Bookkeeping Terms: 1. God keeps a record on everyone. The man who keeps God s law perfectly works, is righteous & has always been. God puts down on his account (imputes, reckons) -- RIGHTEOUSNESS 2. In case of forgiveness, one has sinned (in context, he did not work --keep everything perfectly). God puts down on his account (imputes, reckons) UNRIGHTEOUSNESS (He is a SINNER). -- But when he hears & obeys the gospel, his sins are FORGIVEN. Since they are no longer on his record, he is said to be RIGHTEOUS.
17 Romans 3 & 4 discuss the question: How can a man be right with God? On what Basis Does God Forgive Sins? 1. Some claim there is no need for any basis, that God is able to do anything He pleases because He is God. Not True! God cannot lie (Heb. 6:18)! -- Any consideration of God s nature must include His holiness, justice & righteousness. 2. Rom. 3: shows that while man has sinned, through faith in God s plan (the redemption that is in Christ Jesus), man s sins can be propitiated (appeased, forgiven). Therefore, God s righteousness is upheld & He is thereby just (righteous) and at the same time the justifier of those who have faith in Jesus (Rom. 3:26).
18 Romans 3 & 4 discuss the question: How can a man be right with God? Two Systems of Justification under discussion. 1. By Works of Law Law can only justify (pronounce innocent) the one who has kept the law perfectly (Gal. 3:10; Rom. 10:5). Acquittal is owed such a person because he is innocent. His acquittal is a matter of debt, not grace. 2. By Faith in Christ The gospel reveals how God justifies one who believes in Christ (Rom. 1:16-17). He is pronounced righteous, not on the ground that he is innocent, but on the ground that God has forgiven him. Therefore, his acquittal is a gift of God, and a matter of grace, not debt.
19 Romans 3 & 4 discuss the question: How can a man be right with God? Two Systems of Justification under discussion. Romans 4 gives 2 illustrations using 2 prominent Jews to show that Justification (salvation) comes to a person who: 1) Believes God s plan, & 2) Is forgiven. 1. Abraham (justified before the Law & before he was circumcised) by his faith.
20 How Justification by Faith is Illustrated in Abraham s Life Romans 4 Gen. 12 Gen. 15:6 Gen. 17:9-14 Exodus 20 Just. By Faith Covenant of 10 Commandments 3 Prom. Just. By Faith & counted Righteous Covenant of Circumcision given & Law Given yrs. yrs. yrs. Abraham was justified by Faith before either Circumcision or the giving of the Law! 430 Years from Promises to Giving of Law Gal. 3:17
21 Romans 3 & 4 discuss the question: How can a man be right with God? Two Systems of Justification under discussion. Romans 4 gives 2 illustrations using 2 prominent Jews to show that Justification (salvation) comes to a person who: 1) Believes God s plan, & 2) Is forgiven. 1. Abraham (justified before the Law & before he was circumcised) by his faith. 2. David based on forgiveness (Rom. 4:6-8, as quoted from Ps. 32:1-2).
