Scott continues the study of Romans with focusing on righteousness and justification. Starting with acknowledging the simplicity often sought in Christian teachings, Scott emphasizes the complexity and depth of the Bible and the importance of engaging with challenging questions about faith. The episode covers the notion that God’s righteousness is beyond human comprehension and can only be understood through faith in Jesus Christ. As he guides listeners through Romans, Scott explains the interconnected concepts of justification, redemption, and propitiation and how they relate to God's righteousness and our relationship with Him.

Scott also discusses Paul's teachings regarding the ultimate standard of God's glory and how humanity inevitably falls short. The discussion reveals that through faith, believers receive God's righteousness, made possible by the sacrifice of Jesus. Using metaphors like the sun to illustrate accessibility to God, Scott illustrates the need for righteousness and how it is granted as a gift of grace, independent of human merits.
