2008-10-28 ILC Chapel — The pillars of the Reformation…

The pillars of the Reformation were grace, scripture, and faith. Everyone has sinned and the grace of God covers all.

Romans 3:21–28

The Righteousness of God Through Faith

21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

27 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

1. God’s Word is our great heritage 
And shall be ours forever; 
To spread its light from age to age 
Shall be our chief endeavor. 
Through life it guides our way, 
In death it is our stay. 
Lord, grant, while worlds endure, 
We keep its teachings pure. 
Throughout all generations.
