Romans Chapter 4
IN THIS LESSON
The Apostle Paul says, “The law brings wrath.” Is this the point of having a law? What if we were to demolish it altogether? What if God’s goal in giving the law is not to punish but to reveal His righteousness? What if God’s intelligent design is beyond the law? Do you remember that God promised Abraham he would be the father of all nations, not just a Jewish nation? Do you recall that God reckoned him as righteous based on his faith, not on his works?
