Pastor Peter Everett

Paraphrase: Romans 3:1-8

The Jew may object: 1) 'Is then a member of God's chosen people without any advantages? No, he has many, for example, the messianic promises. 2) 'But has not Jewish unbelief cancelled these promises?' No, man's unbelief cannot make God break His word. 3) 'Well, then, if our sins call forth God's grace, is God not unfair in condemning us?' No, the Judge of all the world will do right, and those who argue against Him deserve His judgment.

I. Jewish Benefits (3:1-4)

II. Jewish Failure (3:5-8)

Paul's Point: No one's personal righteousness is adequate to save; only the righteousness from God found in the Gospel can save.
