Romans 3-4

• What is good about Jews? They were still God's chosen whom God entrusted with the words of God. (3:1-2)
• Discuss doing bad things to show the good. (v5-8)
• Paul goes on to say although the Jews had advantage, they, like the Gentiles, are still sinful (v9)

as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one."

-- Romans 3:10-12

• The Bible reveals that everyone will be judged (v19). Following the bible will not make you righteous on Judgment (v20)
• Reveals the way to righteousness is by the grace of God through Jesus (v21-25)
• By faith not by works (v27)
• The faith is for all, not just for Jews (v30)
• Why then do we still have to uphold the law? (v31)

• Was Abraham righteous because of works? No, it was because he believed in God (4:3)
• Circumcision was only a sign of Abraham's faithfulness (v10-11)
• We are reminded that are faith should only grow stronger that God will do what He promises through Abraham's story (v19-21)
