Lesson 4 discusses the purpose of the law, emphasizing that it reveals sin and man's guilt without providing righteousness. Romans 3:19-20 teaches us that no one can be justified by observing the law, as all have sinned and fall short of God's glory. However, through faith in Jesus Christ, we can attain righteousness apart from the law (Romans 3:21-23). This lesson illustrates how Jesus' sacrifice enables sinners to be accepted by God, highlighting the importance of faith in the path to redemption and justification.

  1. JUSTIFIEDBYFAITH Lesson 4 for the 24th of July, 2010

  2. “Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no-one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin” Romans, 3: 19-20

  3. WHATISTHELAW? The law is the Torah (the Pentateuch and, by extension, the Old Testament) • WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE LAW? • It reveals sin and man’s guilt before God • There is no way it can remove guilt or making us righteous before God • It shows us the way to obtain forgiveness (for example: the sacrifice rites in the sanctuary) • It shows God’scharacter

  4. “But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans, 3: 21-23

  5. The law teaches that we all are sinners and we are divested of God’s glory. In addition, God showed the way he was going to save us since the Old Testament. Nevertheless, we couldn’t understand salvation completely until Jesus came. Although we are sinners, we can besaved by faith in Jesus.

  6. Only the righteous —those who obey the law perfectly— can be accepted by God’s righteousness. No one of us is righteous nor can become righteous. REJECTED: The sinner doesn’t fulfil the righteousness that God demands (obeying the law) The sinner goes before God with his own “righteousness” Jesus goes before God with his righteousness The sinner accepts Jesus by faith SINNER GOD JESUS ACCEPTED: The righteousness of Jesus is accepted instead of the sinner’s Jesus lived a righteous live. That live is accepted by God. When a sinner accepts the sacrifice of Jesus by faith, God accepts Jesus’ perfect life instead of the sinner’s. Then, that sinner is declared righteous.

  7. “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus” Romans, 3: 24 We are justified when we are declared righteous before God. The way God has provided to declare us righteous is redemption through the death of Jesus. That declaration of righteousness has nothing to do with anything we could do; we don’t deserve it. We receive it only by grace, as a gift from God.

  8. “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished-- he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith” Romans, 3: 25-27

  9. PROPITIATION The atonement (“propitiation”) cover of the ark was placed between the glory of God (that appeared between the cherubs) and the law. Jesus comes between the sinner and God like that, so the divine righteousness is fulfilled and the sinner is accepted by his faith in Jesus. God is righteous, so that is the only way to fulfil divine righteousness and accept the sinner without breaking the law.

  10. “For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law” Romans, 3: 28 Deeds have nothing to do with justification, because we can’t do anything to be justified. We can only be justified by faith in the expiatory sacrifice of Christ. Does justification by faith exempt us from keeping the law? Certainly not; because if someone is forgiven, how could he keep sinning (sin is transgression of the law)?

  11. ANOBJECTLESSON Traffic laws say that you must stop before a red light. You go through a red light and you hit another car. Apart from paying for the damages caused, you’ll receive a traffic fine because you transgressed the traffic law. Then you send a letter to the Police Chief, accepting you made a mistake and asking him to forgive you. After some time, you don’t receive that traffic fine and you find out that someone destroyed your fine, and it’s like you never transgressed the law. The Law of God indicates what we should and shouldn’t do, just like that. That’s for our own and others sake. When we transgress it, we suffer the consequences. When we cling to Jesus by faith and we ask him for forgiveness, our sins are removed by his grace. Only then, it’s like we have never sinned before God. We are not exempt from going through the red lights after that forgiveness, but we must keep observing the law (traffic and divine laws)

  12. “Righteousness is obedience to the law. The law demands righteousness, and this the sinner owes to the law; but he is incapable of rendering it. The only way in which he can attain to righteousness is through faith. By faith he can bring to God the merits of Christ, and the Lord places the obedience of His Son to the sinner’s account. Christ’s righteousness is accepted in place of man’s failure, and God receives, pardons, justifies, the repentant, believing soul, treats him as though he were righteous, and loves him as He loves His Son.” E.G.W. (Selected Messages, vol. 1, p. 367)
