I am not ashamed of the gospel

• It is the power of God for salvation to everyone
  who believes
• In it the righteousness of God is revealed

How is the righteousness of God revealed in the
gospel?

• In the wrath of God toward those who sin (Romans
  1-3)
• In the grace of God toward those who believe
  (Romans 4-8)

6
The Righteousness of God is revealed

• In judging the pagans who rejected Him (Chapter
  1)
• In judging the Jews who disobeyed Him (Chapter 2)
• In judging all men who have sinned against Him
  (Chapter 3)

The Righteousness of God is revealed

• In reckoning men as righteous by crediting them
  with the righteousness of Christ (Chapter 4)
• In declaring men to be righteous on the basis of
  the reckoning described in the previous chapter
  (Chapter 5)

What about sin?

• Can we continue to live in sin? (6)
• What about the sin that is still in our lives?
  (7)

What about Israel?
How can we see God as righteous when His own
chosen people do not believe and receive His
promises?

• Not all Israel is Israel.
• God is sovereign and able to chose whom He wills.
• Salvation is offered to all who believe.
• Israels unbelief has resulted in blessings to
  the Gentiles.
• All Israel will be saved.
