Good News for Christians

 (ID: 2455)

What does it mean to be righteous before God? Scripture’s answer is surprising: our greatest efforts at selfless, prayerful, evangelistic living wouldn’t add to our merit before God, nor would the worst stumbles into sin rob us of His grace. Preaching from Romans, Alistair Begg reminds us that the righteousness required to stand in God’s presence is on account not of anything done by us but of what was done for us by Jesus on the cross.


The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

16For dI am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is ethe power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew ffirst and also to gthe Greek. 17For in it hthe righteousness of God is revealed ifrom faith for faith,5 jas it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”6
