Are YOU right with God?
Romans 3:21-31
The Bible says no one is right with God
But, in Jesus, God provides a way for us to be right with God (vv. 21-24)
Jesus deals with our sin and God’s need to punish sin (vv. 25-26)
If we are right with God through trusting in Jesus, then
… we have nothing to boast in
… and we can be sure that we are forgiven
So, are you right with God?

Living by the Word of our Powerful God

– you were bought at a price (v. 20)
