Jun 13, 2010Dr. John King, Senior PastorJustificationA Righteousness from God

The message emphasizes the concept of justification, explaining that all humans stand guilty before God due to sin. The speaker illustrates how God, as the judge, offers a new life through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who paid the penalty for sin. Justification is described as a legal declaration of righteousness from God, received through faith, not by works or adherence to the law. The speaker underscores that this gift of grace is freely given and highlights the importance of recognizing our need for God's righteousness. Ultimately, the message calls for a personal response of faith to accept this gift of salvation.

Romans 3:21-31
