Finished work of Christ

Finished Work of Christ – Rom 3:27-28

Vs 27 – Paul says if you are going to boast about being excluded from judgment.  The principle you should boast of is not found in law but in faith.  Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, His burial and ultimately in His resurrection.

Vs 28 – Paul puts His argument in a nutshell here.  A person is justified by faith and not by observing the law.  This was quite a statement especially for His readers who were Jews.  When you know that nothing but the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation for salvation you quit striving.  No amount of works will secure you salvation.  It is grace and faith alone that are the elements of the reception of eternal life.  Share this message with the people who strive and see them set free in Christ.
