Study 6 From The Book of Romans Is: 3:21 -31
1. The answer to the question how
guilty man can be saved is found in the revelation of a righteousness of God,
i.e., a righteousness provided by God (see Study 1, Note). It will help greatly
to clarify what is said about this righteousness in this all-important
paragraph (verses 21-26) if the various points are written down and appreciated
one by one. There are twelve to fifteen of them.
2. What two inferences follow? See
verses 27, 28 and verses 29, 30. Cf. 1 Cor. 1:29-31; Gal 3:28. What is Paul’s
answer to an objector who might say that the gospel of salvation by faith,
which Paul preached, made the law of no account?
