Sin, Righteousness & Judgment - Part 4

Romans 3 reads like the transcript of a Question & Answer session. Paul states the questions that the Jewish believers in Rome would have raised and then answers the questions. Even as he reiterates that there is value in knowing and keeping the law, he explains that the righteousness of God is given by God through Jesus Christ and received by faith. Righteousness, our right legal standing before God, is not because of our good works but because of the sacrifice of atonement of Jesus.
