THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Tn. The Epistle to the Rom- ans wai written about A.D. 00, while th Kpistla to the Gslatian* was written, probably, Immediat- ely before it about A.D. 58 or 69. Place. - - Both these epiatlei wre written from the city of Corinth, during Paul'* third visit there; one to the Church at Rome. at this time a city that Paul had not seen, and the other to the churches at Galatia. All Men Sinful In the preceding lesion the Apostle Paul has shown how ut- terly guilty of tin all men throughout the world are; that they can only become righteous and find the way to eternal life by the help of God. Apart from the law a right- eousness of God hath be*n manl- feited, being witnessed by the law and the prophets. 22. Even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction; 23. for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God. Ther* is nothing that man In himself can do to make himself righteous before God, to deliver himstlf from this state of deserved penalty. It Is nut by living as Christ lived that w are made righteous before God, but by having faith In Christ 24. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Ths mean- ing of thii passage is hidden from as unless we understand the mean- Ing of the word justify. It means to stand before a judge and if we are justified by him we are declared just or right or right- eous. Standing before God we are given the righteousness which is not In ourselves. We are de- livered from the bondage of tin by the price that Christ paid la his death. Righteoutnesi of God 25. Whom God set forth to be propitiation, through faith, il his blood, to show his righteous- ness because of passing over of the sins done aforetime, In the forbearance of God. Inasmuch as man by sin has broken the law, a broken law would indicate judg- ment. God is tver insistent upon obedience to the Divine Law and demands a full punishment for sin. Righteousness became avail- able for us when Christ died for us, that is, when He paid the penalty for our sins, in His own blood, thereby lifting from us the penalty of sin, taking It upon Himself. 2C. In the showing, I say of his righteousness at this present season : that he might himself be Just, and the juitifier of him that hath faith in Jesus. 27. Where then is (lie glorying? It Is ex- cluded. Ry what manner of lawT of works? Nay: but by a law of faith. Sin should be treated ac- cording to its true nature and the demands of law and justice should not be disregarded justice and mercy are united in the sinner's Justification. As our sins have been atoned for, paid for, In Christ's death, we no longer need bear our sins in our bodies, or in our hearts, for He has borne them. He has taken them away, and for this reason God can de- clare us justified In His sight. Faith !> Neceirjr 28. We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of law. By the works of the law is meant simply doing those things which are right. 29. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gen- tiles also. 30. If so bs that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the un- circutnrJHion through faith. 81. Do w then make the law of none eaect through Faith? God for- bid: nay, we establish the law. a $3,000 cosy cottage for a this things that are right but we are not saved in this way, by long prayer, In going to church, or giv- ing away money, or reading the Bible or by doing many other good deeds. Salvation comes to ui by what Christ has done for u*. Try- ing to do what Is right 1s not enough. We must confess our- selves sinners and receive a, right- eousness not our own, which U provided for us through Christ, who has paid the full penalty for our sine by Hie Holy voluntary death on the cross. Thii redeem- ing work, accomplished for us by Christ in His drath, we appropri- ate by receiving It This ls the New Testament teaching of salva- tion. God forbid that we should fall Into the false teachings of men, no matter how brilliant they o>v be, and depart from the dear, divinity-given teaching of the New Testament, no matter s)ow humiliating that may tee.
