The Reformation marked the rediscovery of the apostolic Gospel by a troubled monk, Martin Luther, who was seeking peace with God. In this Reformation Day message, Alistair Begg unpacks the biblical truth of justification by faith, which the Reformation retrieved, explaining why it is important, what it means, and how we receive it. This doctrine is the beating heart of the biblical message—God’s free offer of salvation in Jesus Christ to those who believe.
21But now athe righteousness of God bhas been manifested apart from the law, although cthe Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22the righteousness of God dthrough faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. eFor there is no distinction: 23for fall have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24gand are justified hby his grace as a gift, ithrough the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25whom God jput forward as ka propitiation lby his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in mhis divine forbearance he had passed over nformer sins. 26It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
27oThen what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28For we hold that one is justified by faith papart from works of the law. 29Or qis God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30since rGod is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and sthe uncircumcised through faith. 31Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
