Ep 208 - Romans: We don’t stand before God with a list of accomplishments—we stand with Jesus, the only one worthy of boasting. Romans 3:21-31

🔥Boasting in Christ Alone 🔥This message calls us to confront the human desire to boast in who we are and what we do—and lay it down at the feet of Jesus. Paul reminds us in Romans 3:27–31 that we are justified by faith, not by our good works or religious performance. Salvation isn’t about what we’ve accomplished—it’s about what Christ has done for us. We don’t stand before God with a list of accomplishments—we stand with Jesus, the only one worthy of boasting.

 

Just like the Jews of Paul’s day, we too are tempted to base our identity on external markers—our background, our behavior, our success. But Paul clears it up:

 

“Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded... a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.”

 

When we boast in our own strength, we rob God of the glory only He deserves. Boasting in Christ alone leads us to humility, deeper faith, and authentic witness to the world around us.

 

💬 Gospel Response: This week’s message reminds us: The only thing we bring to God is our need—and Jesus is more than enough.

✅ Humble yourself before God – Admit you have nothing to offer but need everything Jesus has done.

✅ Trust in God's saving power – Believe that His grace, not your effort, is what justifies and sustains you.

✅ Boast in Christ, not self – Let every part of your life point to His work, not your own.

 

📖 Romans 3:27–28 "Where then is boasting? It is excluded... for we conclude that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law."
