When everything looked hopeless, when humanity’s track record proved we could never measure up, two small words changed everything: But now. In Romans 3:19–31, we see the dramatic turning point of the gospel. God’s righteousness is no longer distant or hidden in commandments. It’s revealed through His Son, Jesus Christ. This message lifts listeners from despair, showing that justification isn’t earned through effort. It’s received through faith.

This sermon peels back the layers of what Paul calls “the righteousness of God apart from the law,” helping us see the beauty of salvation that doesn’t depend on human accomplishment but divine accomplishment. It’s a reminder that the cross didn’t just change our standing before God. It changed everything about how we live and see ourselves in Christ.

In this message, you will discover:

· The stunning shift that happened in salvation history with the words “But now.”
· What it truly means to have “righteousness apart from the law” and why that’s good news.
· How faith goes beyond belief into active trust that transforms.
· The mistake of basing our justification on our sanctification.
· The depth of what it means that Jesus is our propitiation. The payment that satisfies.
· The life-changing implications of justification: a new identity, deep humility, genuine thankfulness, and bold confidence.
