Romans 4:1-8

Themes: Faith Alone | Imputed Righteousness | Forgiveness

Is being a good person the end goal of faith? Is it even attainable? As Paul launches into chapter 4, he addresses how a person is actually considered “good” before God. It is surprisingly not how most might imagine it. Goodness is not achieved, it’s received. On our own, we could never become good enough to match God’s standard of perfection. But, through Christ, we graciously receive the goodness He has to offer.
