Romans Chapter 3

Jennie:

- vs 1-2: Paul says there is still great advantage to being a Jew and to the benefit of circumcision.
- vs 3: Thank you Lord that unbelief doesn't nullify your faithfulness!
- vs 4-7: Not sure what Paul is trying to say here, do you know?
- vs 8: Paul setting the record straight here
- vs 9: We are all under sin
- vs 10:18: Where do you think these things are written?
- vs 19-20: The reason for the law: 1. that every mouth may be closed. 2. that the world may become accountable. 3. through the law comes the knowledge of sin
- vs 24-26: We are redeemed through Christ Jesus, the GIFT of God's grace. God publicly displayed this act of justification (Jesus on the cross to pay for us sins). Sins committed previous to Jesus's coming God passed over as well.
- vs 27-31: The law is established (through it we know we have sinned) but the law doesn't save us, only faith saves us. So we can't boast in our works (keeping the law).
