Romans 3:9-31
What are the essentials of the gospel you would want to share with someone? This is one of the most important things to think through in the process of making disciples. Thankfully, we do not have to make it up, the Bible tells us what the important things are to share. Romans 3:23-24 provides us with a great summary of the gospel. These verses give us the key truths that we need to communicate. First, we all need righteousness. Since everyone has sinned, we cannot earn our own salvation. We need forgiveness, grace, and mercy, and therefore cannot work our way to eternal life. Second, righteousness can only be received through faith. We receive grace as a gift from God through faith. It is not about our morality or religious activity, but simple faith. Third, the object of our faith must be Jesus. Jesus alone offers us grace through his death on the cross. A vague belief in God is not what provides righteousness, instead it is faith in Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. So, the next time you strike up a conversation with someone who is far from Christ. See, if you can help them to understand our sinfulness, our need for grace, and the sacrifice of Christ.
Father God, thank you for the gift of salvation. Thank you for redeeming me. Help me to proclaim what Christ has done for others. Amen.
Which one of the three truths in Romans 3 do you find hardest to communicate? How can you more effectively communicate this truth to our world?
