1. Righteousness by faith
Genesis 15:6 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.
Romans 5:1 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.
1 Corinthians 6:11 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Galatians 3:26 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
B. Good works insufficient to secure salvation
"And it was by faith that this took place."
Romans 9:30 (Amplified Bible)
What shall we say then? That Gentiles who did not follow after righteousness [who did not seek salvation by right relationship to God] have attained it by faith [a righteousness imputed by God, based on and produced by faith],
Ephesians 2:8-9 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.
Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
Romans 3:20 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.
Galatians 2:16 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.”
Isaiah 64:6 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Let's go back to faith-righteousness and leave works-righteousness.
