Romans 3 confronts us with a hard truth: none of us are good enough. All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. No amount of knowledge, effort, or religious performance can justify us before a holy God.

But the good news is better than we imagined. God has revealed a righteousness apart from the law—through faith in Jesus Christ. We are justified by grace as a gift, redeemed by His blood, and declared righteous not because of what we’ve done, but because of what Christ has done.

This message explores how the cross proves that God punishes sin fully, saves sinners freely, and remains perfectly just. If you’ve ever wrestled with not feeling “good enough,” this sermon points to the only One who is.
