Romans 3:21-26 (NLT)
1.) Religion leads to uncertainty about my status with God because I don't know if I have done enough. Redemption leads us to confidence because of what Jesus has done for us on the cross (V.21-22)
2.) Religion says the world is filled with bad people and good people. Redemption says the world is filled with bad people who are either repentant or unrepentant (V.23-24)
3.) Religion is about what I have to do. The gospel is about what I get to do. (V.25-26)
“The temptation of the age is to look good without being good.”
― Brennan Manning,
"The way of religion is concerned with what man can do for himself, the way of grace (redemption) is concerned with what God has done and will do for him"
