Q & A

What is the main theme of Romans Chapter 3?

Romans Chapter 3 introduces the concept of justification by faith. It transitions from the discussion of sin in the previous chapters to explaining how faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to be declared righteous before God.

What does Paul mean when he says 'There is no one righteous, not even one'?

Paul is emphasizing that all humans have sinned and, as a result, no one can claim righteousness based on their own actions. Only Jesus Christ, who was sinless, could be considered righteous.

Why does Paul argue that the law cannot justify anyone?

Paul argues that the law merely exposes sin, revealing where people fall short of God's expectations. It does not have the power to justify anyone because it does not provide a means of redemption—only the recognition of sin.

What is the significance of the law in relation to sin?

The law serves to highlight human sinfulness by setting standards that people inevitably fail to meet. It brings awareness of sin but cannot save from it.

What is the solution to sin that Paul presents in Romans 3?

The solution to sin, according to Paul, is the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ. By believing in Jesus, individuals are declared righteous, not through adherence to the law but through faith.

What does Paul mean by 'the righteousness of God has been manifested without the law'?

Paul means that God’s righteousness is revealed through faith in Jesus Christ and is not dependent on the works of the law. While the law points to the need for righteousness, it is through faith in Christ that one becomes righteous before God.

How does Paul explain the role of Jesus' blood in our justification?

Paul explains that Jesus' blood, shed on the cross, paid the price for our sins. This sacrifice fulfilled God’s justice, ensuring that God could forgive sins without being unjust, because the penalty for sin was paid by Christ.

Why is it important that Jesus' sacrifice is eternal?

Jesus' sacrifice is eternal because it permanently fulfills the requirements of the law and secures the forgiveness of sins for all who believe in Him, unlike the temporary sacrifices in the Old Testament that only covered sins for a time.

What does Paul mean when he says that God is both 'just' and the 'justifier'?

Paul means that God is just because Jesus’ sacrifice fulfilled the law and paid the penalty for sin, ensuring justice is served. At the same time, God is the justifier because He declares those who have faith in Jesus as righteous, even though they have sinned.

What does Paul conclude about justification in verse 28?

Paul concludes that justification comes through faith, not through the works of the law. He asserts that people are justified by faith in Jesus Christ, not by observing the law, marking the central point of the chapter.
